Explanation of Responses:

Id	Content
F1	Restrictive Stock Grant vesting over three years.
F2	Grant of performance-based restricted stock award ("PSA") subject to performance-based and time-based vesting over two years. Performance-based vesting criteria include a combination of profitability of the Issuer's services businesses, growth of the Issuer's leasing portfolio and the viability of the Issuer's Sustainable Aviation Fuel initiative. Each PSA represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock to the extent the performance-based criteria is met. Reported amount assumes 100% performance-based vesting, but actual number of PSAs earned may be 25% more or less than the reported amount, depending on the extent to which the performance-based vesting criteria are met or not met.
