Explanation of Responses:

1. On March 31, 2020, the reporting person was granted 65,704 time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs"), each of which represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock and which vest in three equal installments on March 31 of each of 2021, 2022 and 2023, subject to continued employment through the vesting date. The RSUs may be settled in shares of the issuer's common stock or cash (at the election of the issuer).

The RSUs may be settled in shares of the issuer's common stock or cash (at the election of the issuer).
