(3) The reporting person is reporting the withholding by the Issuer of an aggregate of 2,500 shares of common stock that vested on October 1, 2016 pursuant to the 2013 RSU grant and the 2015 RSU grant, but that were not issued in order to satisfy the reporting person's tax withholding obligations in connection with the delivery of the converted common stock to the reporting person as of October 1, 2016.
(4) The sales reported on this Form 4 were made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the reporting person.
