| (1) | As a result of a re-pricing in July 2011 and after giving effect to the Issuer's subsequent stock split, the shares (underlying the option to purchase shares) became vested and exercisable at an exercise price per share of $20.09 with respect to 20% of the shares on July 8, 2011, with the remainder to vest in four equal annual installments commencing on the 2012 anniversary of the original grant date. Alternatively, the Reporting Person could elect to exercise the vested portion of the shares underlying the option (based on the original vesting schedule of the underlying option, which provided for the shares to vest in five equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary of the original grant date) at an exercise price per share of $57.41 at any time prior to the expiration date. |
| (2) | Gives effect to the Issuer's 1.742-for-1 stock split on February 8, 2012. |
| (3) | On August 21, 2012, pursuant to the Issuer's Option Exchange, the Issuer canceled the option to purchase shares reported as disposed in Table II. In exchange, the reporting person received an equal replacement option to purchase shares, which is reported as acquired in Table II above. 20% of the shares represented here vested immediately upon grant and are exercisable at $8.22 per share. The portion of the shares vesting on or before August 21, 2014 will be exercisable at $20.09 per share until August 21,2014. After such date, the shares underlying the option will be exercisable at $8.22 per share. Any remaining shares underlying the option vesting after August 21, 2014 will be exercisable at $8.22 per share. |
| (4) | 20% of the shares underlying the option vested immediately upon grant with the remainder vesting in four equal annual installments commencing on August 21,2013. |
