Reporting Person's disposition of a portion of the reported shares may be matchable under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to the extent of 25,000 shares of Issuer's common stock, with the purchase, on September 14, 2017, by Reporting Person of 100,000 shares of Issuer's common stock, 25,000 of which has led to a short-swing transaction as a result of the disposition reported on this Form 4. Accordingly, Reporting Person agreed to pay, and has paid, to Issuer the full amount of the profit realized by Reporting Person in connection with the short-swing transaction.

2. The disposition reported on this Form 4 was effected pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan established by Reporting Person and was used to satisfy Reporting Person's federal income tax obligations with respect to the vesting of equity awards.

3. This transaction was executed in multiple trades at prices ranging from $4.746 to $4.540. The price reported above reflects the weighted average sale price. Reporting Person hereby undertakes to provide upon request to the Securities and Exchange Commission staff, Issuer or a security holder of Issuer full information regarding the number of shares and prices at which the transaction was effected.
