Explanation of Responses:

1. This amount of shares reflects an increase to the vested restricted stock granted on March 1, 2017 and April 11, 2017 based upon the achievement of the performance-based metrics for the performance period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019. This resulted in a payout of an aggregate of 26,988 shares of Common Stock.

2. This number has been adjusted to reflect the March 8, 2020 vesting of 15,000 shares of restricted stock.

3. These shares were surrendered in order to satisfy the reporting person's tax withholding obligation upon the vesting of restricted stock.

4. This amount of shares reflects the forfeiture of 15,000 shares of restricted stock granted on March 1, 2017 and April 11, 2017 based upon the results of the performance based metrics of the restricted stock during the period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019.
