Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )On August 14, 2017, the administrator of the Company's 401(k) plan sold, without direction from the reporting person as to the date of said sale, 18.929 common shares held in the reporting person's account for cash pursuant to the 401(k) plan's de minimis holdings policy with respect to terminated participants. The reporting person's prior holdings of common shares within the Company's 401(k) plan were previously distributed in connection with the reporting person's termination from the plan and are now held directly by the reporting person. ( 2 )I disclaim beneficial ownership of these shares.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
