Explanation of Responses:
1. On August 21, 2020, the Issuer announced that an authorized committee of the Issuer's board of directors declared a special dividend on each outstanding share of its common stock payable on September 14, 2020 to all holders of record as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 31, 2020 consisting of (i) a special cash dividend in the amount of $1.50 per common share and (ii) a special dividend of 0.03 shares of newly issued 8.0% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"), having an initial liquidation price of $100 per Preferred Share (the "Dividend"). As a result of the Dividend, the reporting person directly received 380 Preferred Shares. The receipt of Preferred Shares in the Dividend was approved by the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Rule 16b-3").
2. This stock option award was previously reported as an option relating to 39,756 shares of the Issuer's Series A common stock at an exercise price of $8.65 per share and was adjusted as a result of the Dividend. In connection with the Dividend, all stock options held by the reporting person with respect to the Issuer's common stock were adjusted pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions of the incentive plan under which such award was granted, such that the reporting person received an adjustment to (i) the exercise price and (ii) the number of shares relating to such option. These adjustments were approved by the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to Rule 16b-3.

These adjustments were approved by the Issuer's board of directors pursuant to Rule 16b-3.
4. The option is early-exercisable at any time by the holder of the option. This option is divided into five equal sub-grants. Each sub-grant vests in 48 monthly installments commencing on the following dates: May 16, 2013 (first sub-grant), May 16, 2014 (second sub-grant), May 16, 2015 (third sub-grant), May 16, 2016 (fourth sub-grant) and May 16, 2017 (fifth sub-grant).
