Explanation of Responses:
(1)	This option was awarded pursuant to the "elective option" provisions of the Issuer's non-employee director compensation program for the Reporting Peron's service on the Issuer's Board. This option shall vest and become exercisable as to 25% of the shares subject to the option upon the Reporting Person completing each three months of continuous service as a Non-Employee Director, or in the applicable committee position, following the date of grant, provided that the fourth and final tranche of the option will vest and become exercisable on the earlier of July 1, 2022 or the day immediately prior to the date of the Issuer's next annual meeting of stockholders occurring after the date of grant, in either case subject to the Reporting Person continuing in service on the Board as a Non-Employee Director, or in the applicable committee position, through such vesting date.
(2)	The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities and the inclusion of the securities in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose. The Reporting Person is an employee of The Blackstone Group Inc. or one of its affiliates ("Blackstone"). Pursuant to arrangements between the Reporting Person and Blackstone, the Reporting Person is required to transfer to Blackstone any and all compensation received in connection with his directorship for any company Blackstone invests in or advises.

Remarks: Mr. Cunningham, an employee of an affiliate of Blackstone, is a member of the board of directors of the issuer. Mr. Cunningham disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities of the issuer that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by affiliates of Blackstone.
