Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents the number of shares required to be sold by the reporting person to cover the tax withholding obligation in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units on December 30, 2016. This sale is mandated by the Issuer's election under its equity incentive plans to require the reporting person to fund this tax withholding obligation by completing a "sell to cover" transaction with a brokerage firm designated by the Issuer. This sale does not represent a discretionary trade by the reporting person.

2. The price reported in this Column 4 is a weighted average price. The shares were sold as part of a group sale of shares in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $17.41 to $17.56, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each price within the ranges set forth in this footnote.

3. The reporting person previously reported restricted stock units granted to the reporting person on July 15, 2015 in Table I of the Form 4 filed on July 17, 2015. As such, no adjustment to the reporting person's beneficial interest needs to be made to reflect the vesting event related to this securities sale.

4. Represents the number of shares required to be sold by the reporting person to cover the tax withholding obligation in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units on January 1, 2017. This sale is mandated by the Issuer's election under its equity incentive plans to require the reporting person to fund this tax withholding obligation by completing a "sell to cover" transaction with a brokerage firm designated by the Issuer. This sale does not represent a discretionary trade by the reporting person.

5. The reporting person previously reported restricted stock units granted to the reporting person on April 1, 2016 in Table I of the Form 4 filed on April 6, 2016.
