Explanation of Responses:
(1)  Pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among First Street Parent, Inc. a Delaware corporation ("Parent"), First Street Merger Sub, Inc. Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Purchaser") and issuer, on June 18, 2019 Purchaser accepted the 98,882 disposed shares that were tendered pursuant to Purchaser's tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of issuer's common stock at a purchase price of $6.50 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding taxes.
(2)  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on June 20, 2019 the 1,597 disposed shares of restricted stock were canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $6.50 per Company share, net to seller in cash, without interest, subject to any applicable withholding taxes, with 50% of such cash payment payable effective at the time of the merger, and unless otherwise agreed by Mr. Axelrod and Parent, the remaining 50% of such cash payment payable when such shares of restricted stock would have vested.
