Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 Pursuant to the terms of his 2/26/13 Option Agreement (the "Agreement"), in-the-money options held by Mr. Roche immediately prior to expiration of the option are automatically "net exercised". Accordingly, per the terms of the Agreement such options were "net exercised" on 2/24/23. To that end a total of 3,326 shares were withheld by the Company to satisfy the exercise price and taxes associated with the exercise, resulting in a net issuance of 3,010 shares to, and held by, Mr. Roche.
F2 Does not include 7,652 shares held indirectly by the Reporting Person's spouse.
F3 The option vested 1/3 on each of 02/26/14, 02/26/15 and 02/26/16.
