Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )Teebank Family Limited Partnership ("Teebank") is a family limited partnership. A trust ("GP Trust 1") in which the Reporting Person is a trustee is a co-General Partner of Teebank. A trust ("GP Trust 2") in which the Reporting Person and his mother are co-trustees is the other co-General Partner of Teebank. The Reporting Person is trustee of multiple trusts (the "LP Trusts") for the benefit of the Reporting Person and certain of the Reporting Person's immediate family members. The LP Trusts are limited partners of Teebank. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. ( 2 )The Reporting Person is the sole trustee of an LP Trust ("LP Trust 1") the beneficiary of which is the Reporting Person's mother. The Reporting Person is also the sole trustee of two additional LP Trusts, the sole beneficiaries of which are the Reporting Person's two children ("LP Trust 2" and "LP Trust 3", respectively). Effective 11/02/2018, LP Trust 1 sold $1.0 million in Teebank interests to each of LP Trust 2 and LP Trust 3.
