Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).

(2)	The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purposes.
(3)	The reporting person last disclosed the holdings of the Leibowitz Foundation in a Form 4 filed on May 23, 2011.

Between the date of that report on Form 4 and December 28, 2016 the Leibowitz Foundation neither acquired nor disposed of any Common Stock; however the reporting person inadvertently did not include the Leibowitz Foundation's ownership of Common Stock in the Forms 4 he filed subsequent to May 23, 2011.

Between the date of that report on Form 4 and February 14, 2017 the Sarah Lea & Jesse Z. Shafer Charitable Medical Trust neither acquired nor disposed of any Common Stock; however the reporting person inadvertently did not include the Sarah Lea & Jesse Z. Shafer Charitable Medical Trust's ownership of Common Stock in the Forms 4 he filed subsequent to May 23, 2011.
