Explanation of Responses:

Id Content
F1 Price represents a weighted average of the sale price. Shares were sold at prices ranging from $12.00 to $12.61. Upon the request by the SEC staff, the Issuer, or a security holder of the Issuer, the reporting person will provide the full information about the number of shares sold at each separate price.
F2 The dividend equivalent rights accrued on previously awarded restricted stock units (RSUs) and become exercisable proportionately with the RSUs to which they relate. Each dividend equivalent right is the economic equivalent of one share of Issuer's Class A common stock.
F3 Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Issuer's Class A common stock.
F4 Restricted stock unit vests one-third per year beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant.
