Explanation of Responses:

1. Restricted Stock Units granted: 3 year cliff vest on 11-1-2016, provided performance threshold satisfied.

2. Restricted Stock Units granted: cliff vest on 3-12-18, provided performance threshold satisfied.

3. Stock options granted: vesting 25% after year one and then 25% per year thereafter.

4. All Performance Stock Units have a conversion price of $0.00.

5. Performance Stock Units are divided into three approximately equal tranches, each having a performance period of one year. PSUs vest based on achievement of total shareholder return ("TSR") performance goals for each tranche. Payout for vested PSUs ranges from 0% to 150% based on the Company's TSR percentile compared to the TSR of the companies comprising a market index. TSR is measured generally as the increase or decrease in the market value of Company common stock including the reinvestment of dividends. If a participant terminates employment prior to the vest date, the PSUs will be forfeited except in the case of death or disability. Dividend equivalents are paid on PSUs earned in a year, subject to restrictions. PSUs have no voting rights.

6. The grant amount of 3,761 PSUs assumes 100% vesting. Since payout for PSUs can range from 0% to 150%, the maximum number of shares that could vest and be distributed is 5,642.
