Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Each share is represented by a restricted stock unit ("RSU"). 25% of the RSUs shall vest quarterly in equal increments during year 1; 37.5% of the RSUs shall vest quarterly in equal increments during year 2; 25% of the RSUs shall vest quarterly in equal increments during year 3; and 12.5% of the RSUs shall vest quarterly in equal increments each year during year 4, subject to the Reporting Person continuing to be a Service Provider through each vesting date.
(2) Each share is represented by a performance-based restricted stock unit ("PSU"). The number of shares reported is at the target award amount. The Reporting Person may potentially earn from 50% to 120% of the target based on the achievement, if any, of the performance criteria at the end of the performance period. The actual award earned shall be determined upon certification by the Issuer's Compensation Committee. If earned, the eligible PSUs would vest according to the vesting schedule set forth above in footnote (1).
(3) Represents the forfeiture of previously reported performance stock awards granted to the Reporting Person that were eligible to vest based on the certified achievement of certain performance objectives.
(4) This transaction is not a sale of shares by the Reporting Person. Instead, this represents shares that have been withheld by the Issuer to satisfy its income tax and withholding and remittance obligations in connection with the vesting and net settlement of previously reported restricted stock awards and performance-based restricted stock awards.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
