Explanation of Responses:
1. Mr. Bradley is deemed the beneficial owner of Banyon Tree LLC.
2. The stock option vested as follows: subject to performance schedule and determined at the end of each calendar year.
Remarks:
The transactions reported in the above Table 1 Rows 1 and 2 reflect the cashless exercise of stock options. The cashless exercise of the options is reported in two lines. The first line of the cashless exercise transaction is coded M in Column 3 of Table 1 and reports in Column 4 the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the options had cash been paid to exercise the options, together with the exercise price with code A for acquired. The line coded F in Column 3 of Table I relates to the same cashless exercise on the preceding line and reports in Column 4 the number of shares deducted from the total number of shares issuable to pay for the cashless exercise of such options with code D for disposal. Where the number of shares deducted for the cashless exercise is a fraction, the number has been rounded to the nearest whole number of shares. The number of shares on a net basis is actually owned by the Reporting Person after the cashless exercise. All transactions are exempt from Section 16(b) by reason of Rule 16b-3 except for the surrender of shares to pay withholding taxes. The transactions reported in Table II above reflect the disposition of the same stock options whose cashless exercise is disclosed in Table I above. The number of derivative securities owned after the transactions reported in Column 9 of Table II above includes only stock options with the same exercise price and expiration date.
