Explanation of Responses:

1. Restricted shares which vest on the third anniversary of July 1, 2022, provided that the reporting person is an employee of the Issuer on such date.

2. This amount includes the following: (i) the 9,000 restricted shares reported above, as well as 14,997 additional shares of restricted common stock which vest over time which were previously reported; and (ii) 1,037 shares of common stock acquired through the Issuer's dividend reinvestment plan since June 9, 2022 (the date of the reporting person's previous Form 4 filing).

3. Share amounts reported in this Form 4 reflect the Company's 3-for-1 stock split, which was effected in the form of a stock dividend that was paid on June 30, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 27, 2022. The Company's stock began trading at the post-split price on July 1, 2022.

4. The reporting person may be regarded as the beneficial owner of the shares of the Issuer's common stock held in this account as a result of a durable power of attorney pursuant to which the reporting person has the authority to direct the voting and disposition of such shares. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of the Issuer's common stock held in this account except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
