Explanation of Responses:
(1)  As adjusted to reflect an increase in the number of shares underlying the option and a decrease in the per share exercise price of such option as a result of the special dividend paid to stockholders of record on April 19, 2013 in connection with the Issuer's REIT conversion.
(2)  The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. The shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $25.85 to $26.13, inclusive. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares purchased at each separate price within the ranges set forth in this footnote.
(3)  Twenty-five percent (25%) of options granted became exercisable on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the option grant date. Date Exercisable reflects the first date 100% of each option grant was exercisable (i.e., the fourth anniversary of the option grant date).

Remarks:
Exercise of employee stock options and sale of stock acquired upon exercise pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.
