Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	When both ISO and NQ Stock Options granted on September 13, 2013 are combined, they vest over four years of continuous service as follows: 1/48th of the underlying shares vest monthly following the vesting commencement date of September 13, 2013.
(2)	The Restricted Stock Units vest as follows: 1/16th of the units vest quarterly following the vesting commencement date of September 15, 2013, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service to the Issuer through each such vesting date.
(3)	The vesting of these Restricted Stock Units is subject to the satisfaction of both performance-based conditions and time-based criteria. The performance-based conditions will be satisfied if certain financial targets, determined by the Issuer, are met over the course of the Issuer's 2014 fiscal year. If the performance-based conditions for fiscal year 2014 are not met, then none of the shares will vest. If the performance-based conditions for fiscal year 2014 are achieved, as determined by the Issuer, then units will vest as the time-based criteria are satisfied. The time-based vesting criteria are as follows: 1/4th of the units vest on the one year anniversary of the vesting commencement date of September 15, 2013 and an additional 1/16th of the units will vest quarterly thereafter, subject to (1) the previously mentioned fiscal year 2014 performance-based conditions being met, and (2) the Reporting Person's continued service to the Issuer through each such vesting date.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
