        <footnote id="F1">Amended Form 4 being filed to correct original Form 4 filed August 25, 2017 due to a processing error where shares were reported as sold to cover a portion of the personal income tax withholding requirements. The vesting was reprocessed and Marwan H. Fawaz retained all shares that vested. This amended Form 4 reflects that no shares were sold.</footnote>
