Explanation of Responses:

1. Grant of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). The RSUs vest in four equal installments, assuming continuous service on each vesting date, as follows: March 29, 2027; March 29, 2028; March 29, 2029; and March 29, 2030.

2. RSUs represent 65% of the reporting person's annual equity grant. The remaining 35% of the RSUs granted are contingent upon stockholder approval of an amendment to the Issuer's Amended and Restated 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") that increases the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Plan.

3. The sale reported on this Form 4 represents shares sold by the reporting person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units. The sale is mandated by an administrative rule adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors that requires the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations to be funded by a "sell-to-cover" transaction and does not represent a discretionary transaction by the reporting person.

4. The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $26.35 to $27.26, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within.

5. The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $27.39 to $27.84, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within.
