Explanation of Responses:

1. On July 7, 2016, the issuer effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split. The amount of securities beneficially owned and the exercise price of warrants have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split.

2. These warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the issuer were issued pursuant to the issuer's 2014 Management Incentive Plan. By their terms, such warrants become exercisable in equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of August 7, 2014. On October 13, 2016, the Reporting Person resigned as Chairman of the Board and a director of the issuer. In connection therewith, the Reporting Person and the issuer entered into a Separation Agreement and a Release Agreement, each dated as of October 13, 2016, under which the Reporting Person is to receive full vesting of his unvested equity awards, including warrants exercisable for approximately 213,937 shares of the issuer's common stock. As a result of the vesting of such warrants, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of approximately 10.58% of the shares of the issuers' common stock outstanding as of the date hereof.
