The name of the PEO of the Company reflected in these columns for each of the applicable fiscal years is Michael J Arougheti .

(2) “Compensation Actually Paid to PEO” has been calculated in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(v)(2)(iii) of Regulation S-K and does not reflect compensation actually earned, realized or received. When calculating “Compensation Actually Paid to PEO”, the following adjustments were made to the amounts reported for Mr. Arougheti in the Summary Compensation Table. In calculating “Compensation Actually Paid”, the fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of the equity award adjustments included in each such calculation was computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Importantly, the dollar amounts do not reflect the actual amount of compensation earned by or paid to Mr. Arougheti during the applicable year. “Compensation Actually Paid” for Mr. Arougheti includes performance equity awards with market conditions that have fully vested during the periods presented. Those performance equity awards with market conditions are presented as if the market conditions were met on the respective grant dates, with corresponding changes in fair value between the grant dates and vesting dates included within “Compensation Actually Paid to PEO.”
