Explanation of Responses:	
(1) 	The Shares were granted to the Reporting Person pursuant to the Issuer's 2012 Stock Incentive Plan and subject to restrictions on transfer. The stock award reported herein shall vest (and the restrictions shall lapse) in full on the earlier of (i) one business day before the Issuer's 2022 annual meeting of stockholders or (ii) April 28, 2022, provided that in each case the Reporting Person has continuously remained a director of the Issuer. Any unvested shares underlying the stock award reported herein will be immediately forfeited upon the Reporting Person ceasing to be a director.

(2) 	Securities owned directly by AREX Capital Master Fund, LP ("AREX Capital Master") and held in certain accounts (the "AREX Managed Account") managed by AREX Capital Management, LP ("AREX Capital Management"), which also acts as the investment advisor to AREX Capital Master. The Reporting Person, solely by virtue of his position as the managing member of each of AREX Capital GP, LLC, the general partner of AREX Capital Master, and AREX Capital Management GP, LLC, the general partner of AREX Capital Management, may be deemed to beneficially own the securities owned directly by AREX Capital Master and held in the AREX Managed Accounts for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
