Explanation of Responses:

1. Due to vesting of Performance-based Market Stock Unit ("MSU") awarded 6/6/2011, shares were withheld for payment of required tax withholding obligation pursuant to an exempt (under Rule 16b-3(e)) disposition to the Company.

2. The sales reported in this Form 4 were effected pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person on November 27, 2012.

3. Each performance-based market stock unit (MSU) represents the right to receive, following vesting, up to 150% of one share of BMC common stock. The actual number of shares of BMC common stock acquired upon vesting of the performance-based MSUs can range from 0% to 150% of the number of MSUs awarded and is contingent upon the achievement of pre-established performance metrics, as approved by BMC's Compensation Committee. One half of the performance-based MSUs are subject to vesting two years after the award date, and one half are subject to vesting three years after the award date.

4. Unless earlier forfeited under the terms of the performance-based MSU award agreement, each performance-based MSU converts into up to 150% of one share of BMC common stock based upon performance vesting. One half of the performance-based MSUs will vest based upon performance over a two year period ending two years after the award date, and one half of the performance-based MSUs will vest based upon performance over a three year period ending three years after the award date.
