Explanation of Responses:
1. Release and settlement of restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted to the Reporting Person on November 20, 2013, the grant of which was previously reported on a Form 4 by the Reporting Person.
2. Vesting of RSUs granted to the Reporting Person on May 10, 2016.
3. Vesting of RSUs granted to the Reporting Person on August 10, 2016.
4. Exempt transaction pursuant to Section 16b-3(e) for payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering or withholding securities incident to the receipt, exercise or vesting of a security issued in accordance with Rule 16b-3. All of the shares reported as disposed of in this Form 4 were relinquished to the Issuer by the Reporting Person and cancelled by the Issuer in exchange for the Issuer's agreement to pay federal and state tax withholding obligations of the Reporting Person resulting from the vesting of RSUs. The Reporting Person did not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the shares reported on this Form 4 for any reason other than to cover required taxes.
5. Vesting of RSUs granted to the Reporting Person on May 12, 2014.
6. The price per share was based on the fair market value of the Issuer's common stock on the vesting and release date, which, because such date was a Sunday, was the NYSE closing price on the last trading date immediately preceding the vesting and release date.
7. Each RSU or performance stock unit ("PSU") represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock.
8. 25% of the RSUs vested on November 10, 2014 and thereafter vests quarterly as to 6.25% of the total RSUs with the first 6.25% vesting on February 10, 2015. Shares of the Issuer's common stock will be delivered to the Reporting Person following vesting.
9. 25% of the RSUs vested on May 10, 2017 and thereafter shall vest quarterly as to 6.25% of the total RSUs with the first 6.25% vesting on August 10, 2017. Shares of the Issuer's common stock will be delivered to the Reporting Person following vesting.
