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) Represents an award of restricted stock units ( "RSUs") that will vest on a time-based vesting schedule as follows: 33.33% on the first anniversary of the vesting start date of February 12, 2014, and the remaining 66.66% in equal 8.25% installments every 3 months thereafter, provided the reporting person continues to be employed by Avid Technology, Inc. (the "Issuer") on each such vesting date. Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive 1 share of the Issuer's common stock. This award includes a provision for the withholding of shares by the Issuer to pay the withholding taxes due on each such vesting date.
(2) The vest start date of February 12, 2014 for this award has been determined by the Compensation Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Committee") to reflect the fact that such award would have been granted in the first quarter of 2014, were it not for the Issuer's restatement process and the fact that the Issuer was not current in its filing obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
(3) Represents the unvested portion of a stock option award originally granted to the reporting person on February 11, 2013 (the "Original Grant Date"). Vesting of the stock options was originally subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria. On November 12, 2014 the Committee made a determination to change the stock options from performance-based vesting to time based vesting. The stock options are vesting on a time-based vesting schedule over the course of four years as follows: 25% vesting at the first anniversary of the Original Grant Date and the remaining 75% vesting in equal quarterly installments thereafter, provided the reporting person continues to be employed by the Issuer on each such vesting date.
(4) Represents the vested portion of a stock option award originally granted to the reporting person on the Original Grant Date.

The stock options are vesting on a time-based vesting schedule as follows: 25% vesting at the first anniversary of the Original Grant Date and the remaining 75% vesting in equal quarterly installments thereafter, provided the reporting person continues to be employed by the Issuer on each such vesting date.
