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) Immediately prior to the closing of the initial public offering of the issuer's Class A common stock (the "IPO"), the reporting person held indirectly profit interests in EBS Master LLC ("EBS Master") that were issued under EBS Master's Amended and Restated Executive Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Pursuant to reorganization transactions completed by the issuer and its subsidiaries in connection with its initial public offering and in accordance with the terms of the Plan, the issuer as managing member of EBS Master caused the reporting person's profits interests to be converted into 7,239 unvested EBS Units on August 11, 2009. In addition, on August 11, 2009, the reporting person subscribed for 7,239 shares of the issuer's Class B common stock. The unvested EBS Units will maintin the vesting schedule of the profts interests originally allocated to the reporting person. The unvested EBS Units will vest on May 26, 2010.
(2) In accordance with the terms of EBS Master's operating agreement, each vested EBS Unit (along with a corresponding share of the issuer's Class B common stock) is exchangeable at any time for one share of the issuer's Class A common stock, or at the election of EBS Master, cash equal to the fair market value of the EBS Unit. The EBS Units do not expire and the reporting person is not required to pay an exercise price in connection with exchanges. The Class B common stock provides the holder with one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the issuer's stockholders but does not entitle the holder to any of the economic rights associated with shares of the issuer's Class A common stock.
(3) Represents employee stock options granted by the issuer to the reporting person in connection with the IPO. The options will vest annually in equal installments over a four year period from the date of grant.
