Explanation of Responses:

1. The Reporting Person received the shares pursuant to a stock grant from the Issuer under the Issuer's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Such shares vest in three (3) substantially equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the date of grant.

2. The Reporting Person received the Performance Stock Units (as defined below) pursuant to an award granted by the Issuer under the Issuer's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

3. Each Performance Stock Unit ("Performance Stock Unit") award represents the right, upon achievement of certain specified performance-based vesting criteria, to receive up to two (2) shares of the Issuer's common stock.

4. Represents the target share amount that may be issued pursuant to such award of Performance Stock Units. The actual number of shares of common stock to be issued upon vesting can range from 0% to 200% of the number of Performance Stock Units awarded, based on achievement of a specified relative total stockholder returns. Assuming continued service through the vesting date and achievement of the specified performance-based vesting criteria, the Performance Stock Units, as adjusted, will generally vest on December 31, 2019 (for the 2017 grant) and December 31, 2020 (for the 2018 grant).
