Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Represents the number of shares that were acquired upon conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock in connection with the net settlement of restricted stock units (the "RSUs") listed in Table II, based on the Issuer's initial public offering (the "IPO") price of $10.00 per share. These shares were cancelled following such conversion to satisfy the tax withholding obligations of the Issuer.
( 2)  Represents the number of shares cancelled to cover tax withholding in connection with the net settlement of RSUs listed in Table II, based on the IPO price of $10.00 per share.
( 3)  Represents RSUs that were granted on April 15, 2010. These RSUs have a term of 7 years and are settled in shares of the Issuer's Class B Common Stock. As granted, the vesting of the RSUs was subject to satisfaction of both a service-based condition and a liquidity event-based condition. The liquidity event-based condition was satisfied, and a portion of the RSUs became vested, on December 15, 2011, upon the execution and effectiveness of an underwriting agreement by and among the Issuer, the underwriters and certain selling stockholders of the Issuer, in connection with the IPO.
( 4)  The service-based vesting condition was satisfied as to 1/4th of the total shares underlying the RSU on April 15, 2011. The remaining shares vest, in equal quarterly installments thereafter, subject to continued service to the Issuer through each vesting date.
( 5)  Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the Reporting Person into one share of Class A Common Stock and has no expiration date. Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into Class A Common Stock on the date on which the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock together represent less than 10% of the aggregate combined voting power of the Issuer's capital stock. In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock upon (i) any transfer, whether or not for value, (subject to certain exceptions), or (ii) in the event of death of the Reporting Person.
( 6)  Not applicable.
( 7)  Represents shares that have been converted to Class A Common Stock and then cancelled to cover tax withholding in connection with the net settlement of RSUs, based on the initial public offering price of $10.00 per share. The cancellation of the Class A Common Stock is listed in Table I.
( 8)  Shares held directly by Vranesh Family Trust. Mark Vranesh serves as sole trustee and retains sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by Vranesh Family Trust.
( 9)  Shares held directly by The MAV Annuity Trust. Mark Vranesh's spouse, Christine Vranesh, serves as sole trustee and retains sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares held by The MAV Annuity Trust.
