Explanation of Responses:
1. 6,750 restricted stock units were granted on January 13, 2009. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock. The restricted stock units vest in four equal annual installments beginning January 13, 2010.
2. Obligation to sell common stock.
3. PacificInfo Limited ("PacificInfo"), which is wholly-owned by Edward Tian, entered into a pre-paid variable delivery forward transaction with Credit Suisse Capital LLC. In exchange for a purchase price of $10,000,013.11, which was paid on May 5, 2009, PacificInfo acquired an obligation to deliver on May 5, 2011 (the "Maturity Date"), either (i) up to 741,689 shares (the "Base Amount") of common stock or, at the option of PacificInfo, or (ii) the cash equivalent of such shares. The exact number of shares of common stock that PacificInfo will be required to deliver will be determined based on the "Volume Weighted Average Price" per share of the common stock, as displayed on Bloomberg Page "AQR" (the "Relevant Price") during 15 Stock Exchange Business Days immediately prior to and including the Maturity Date (the "Valuation Period"). (Continued in footnote 6)
4. (Continued from footnote 5) On the Maturity Date, if the arithmetic mean of the Relevant Price of the common stock during the Valuation Period (the "Settlement Price") is less than or equal to $15.6272 (the "Floor Price"), PacificInfo shall be obligated to deliver 741, 689 shares of common stock. If the Settlement Price is greater than the Floor Price but less than $23.4407 (the "Cap Price"), PacificInfo shall be obligated to deliver a number of shares of common stock equal to the product of (i) the Base Amount and (ii) the quotient of the Floor Price divided by the Settlement Price. If the Settlement Price is greater than or equal to the Cap Price, PacificInfo shall be obligated to deliver a number of shares of the common stock equal to the product of (i) the Base Amount and (ii) the quotient of (A) the Floor Price plus the difference between the Settlement Price and the Cap Price divided by (B) the Settlement Price.
