( 1)  The reporting person was granted restricted stock units pursuant to Intralinks Holdings Inc.'s ("Intralinks") 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated to date). These unvested restricted stock units were assumed by Issuer upon the closing of the Issuer's acquisition of Intralinks by merger, which became effective on January 19, 2017 (the "Merger") and was effected in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 5, 2016 (the "Merger Agreement"). Upon the consummation of the Merger pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the assumed performance-based restricted stock units were converted into a number of the Issuer's performance restricted stock units set forth above in accordance with the exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement.
( 2)  Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Common Stock of Issuer
