Explanation of Responses:

1. The acquisition of Common Stock set forth in this row resulted from the vesting of a Performance Restricted Stock Unit ("PRSU") award granted by the Company on January 3, 2014. The ultimate number of PRSUs that could have been earned and vested under this award depended on the Company achieving or exceeding, on a consolidated basis, a certain specified adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, divided by gross revenue and expressed as a percentage ("Adjusted EBITDA Margin") as of December 31, 2016 for the one-year period beginning on January 1, 2016 and ended December 31, 2016. The maximum amount of PRSUs for this award were deemed earned and vested.

2. Number of shares withheld for tax purposes.

3. Common Stock acquired on the vesting of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs").

4. Common Stock acquired on the vesting of RSUs.
