Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  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.
( 2)  The service-based vesting condition was satisfied as to 1/48th of the total shares underlying the RSU on March 1, 2008. The remaining shares vest, in equal monthly installments thereafter, subject to continued service to the Issuer through each vesting date.
( 3)  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.
( 4)  Not applicable.
