Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The Reporting Person received an aggregate of 150,000 restricted stock units. Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and Reporting Person's employment and restricted stock unit agreements with the Company, one-third (1/3rd) of the restricted stock units will vest on June 25, 2013, and an additional one-twelfth (1/12th) will vest on the first day of each September, December, March and June, thereafter, provided Reporting Person continues to be a Service Provider through each such vesting date.
(2) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the employment agreement between the Reporting Person and the Company, in the event of a Change of Control, (i) fifty percent (50%) of this grant shall immediately vest, provided that the Reporting Person remains a Service Provider on such date, and (ii) in the event Reporting Person's employment is terminated by the Company without Cause, or Reporting Person voluntarily terminates his employment for Good Reason, each of which is defined in the Executive Employment Agreement, within twelve (12) months after such Change of Control, then one hundred percent (100%) of the total number of the then unvested restricted stock units (unvested as of the Change of Control date) shall immediately vest.
(3) $0.00 is used for technical reasons as there is no price for this derivative security until it vests.
(4) This includes 150,000 unvested restricted stock units.
