Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )Shares acquired on the vesting of the Performance-based RSUs.
( 2 )Shares withheld for payment of tax liability.
( 3 )Each Performance-based RSU represents the right to receive, following vesting, one share of the Company's common stock. These RSUs are performance-based RSUs that were to vest only if the Company achieved a 10-day improvement in cash cycle time in 2013 ("Performance Target"), and were to have been forfeited if the Company did not achieve the Performance Target. The Company exceeded the Performance Target. As a result, one-third vested on February 5, 2014 (the date of the Company's public announcement of its financial results for 2013), one-third vested on February 5, 2015, and the remaining one-third will vest on February 5, 2016.
( 4 )This date represented the estimated initial vesting date of these RSUs if the Performance Targets were met. The actual initial vest date was February 5, 2014, the date of the public release of the Company's 2013 financial results.
( 5 )These RSUs do not expire. Unless forfeited under the terms of the Performance-based RSUs, these RSUs will vest as previously described.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
