Explanation of Responses:
(1) Represents shares withheld by the issurer to satisfy the Reporting Person's tax withholding obligation in connection with the vesting of certain Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") previously granted to the Reporting Person. Such withholding is exempt from Section 16(b) pursuant to Rule 16b-3(e).
(2) Represents shares previously acquired in transactions exempt under Rule 16b-3(c).
(3) Each RSU is issued pursuant to the Company's 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan and represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock, and vesting (i.e., forfeiture restriction termination) generally is subject to (i) the reporting person remaining an employee or director of the Company or its affiliates and (ii) the other criteria described in the footnotes below.
(4) 6,030 Performance RSUs vested on February 19, 2020, based upon the Company's total stockholder return performance ranking relative to a peer group of companies approved by the Company's board of directors for the three year period ended February 16, 2020. The remainder of the original Performance RSUs granted in February 2017 did not vest on February 19, 2020 and were forfeited.

(6) These Time RSUs were previously granted on February 21, 2018. 33 1/3% of the original grant amount of these Time RSUs vest on February 19 of each of 2019, 2020 and 2021.
