Explanation of Responses:

1. On May 7, 2011, an amendment (the "Amendment") became effective to a previously reported pre-paid variable delivery forward contract, dated May 5, 2009, between PacificInfo Limited ("PacificInfo"), which is wholly-owned by Edward Tian, and Credit Suisse Capital LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (collectively referred to as "CSSU"). Pursuant to the Amendment, the number of shares PacificInfo must deliver on May 7, 2012 (the "Maturity Date") to CSSU was amended as follows: (i) the maximum number of shares to be delivered is 741,689 shares, minus 54,064 "Settlement Shares", or, (ii) at the option of PacificInfo, the cash equivalent of such shares. As compensation for the Amendment, PacificInfo agreed to pay CSSU or its agent the amount of shares equal to the Settlement Shares. (Continued in footnote 2)

2. In addition, the formula for determining the exact number of shares PacificInfo must deliver was revised such that the "Forward Floor Price" is $17.2660, the "Forward Cap Price" is $24.9397, and the averaging dates are the 15 consecutive scheduled trading days starting on April 16, 2012.

3. Obligation to sell common stock.

4. 12,352 restricted stock units were granted on August 9, 2011 (the "2011 RSUs"). Each 2011 RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock. The 2011 RSUs vest in two equal installments on the 6-month and 12-month anniversaries of the grant date. The grant of the 2011 RSUs was conditioned on the Reporting Person's cancellation of the 2009 RSUs and 2010 RSUs.
