Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  On December 11, 2013, the reporting person reported the grant of certain market restricted stock units (the "MRSUs"). The MRSUs have a service-based vesting component as well as a Total Shareholder Return Multiplier. On December 12, 2016, pursuant to the terms of the service-based vesting component of the MRSUs, the third tranche of such award vested. Based upon the Total Shareholder Return Multiplier, the reporting person received 296 additional shares of the Company's restricted stock, such shares representing the amount vested in excess of the target amount of MRSUs initially reported on Form 4 in December 2013. In addition, the reporting person received 12 shares of the Company's restricted stock through the accrual of dividend equivalents.
( 2)  These shares were withheld upon the vesting of restricted stock units to pay tax witholding obligations.
