Explanation of Responses:

1. This amendment is not being filed by the reporting person to report the acquisition or disposition of any securities, but rather to correct immaterial errors in the original Form 3 filed in April 2014. The original Form 3 included a line item for 1,153 shares of common stock subject to a warrant that actually expired prior to the date of the original Form 3. Accordingly, the corresponding line item and related footnote in the Form 3 is hereby deleted. In addition, the line items for the other warrants in the original Form 3 should have reflected 4,477 shares of common stock instead of 4,654 shares and 122,172 shares of common stock instead of 120,841 shares. Accordingly, the line items and related footnotes for those warrants have been restated in their entirety to reflect such changes. All Form 4s filed by the reporting person after his original Form 3 were correct and are not impacted by these amendments.

2. Includes (a) warrants to acquire 2,339 shares of common stock that are held by the Muneer A. Satter Revocable Trust for which the Reporting Person serves as trustee and, in such capacity, has sole voting and dispositive power over all such shares and (b) warrants to acquire 2,138 shares of common stock that are held by various trusts and other entities for which the Reporting Person serves as trustee, investment advisor or manager, and in such capacity, has the sole power to exercise such warrants and sole voting and dispositive power over all shares underlying such warrants. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all warrants and shares underlying such warrants included in clause (b) of this footnote 2, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.

3. Includes (a) warrants to acquire 60,639 shares of common stock that are held by the Muneer A. Satter Revocable Trust for which the Reporting Person serves as trustee and, in such capacity, has sole voting and dispositive power over all such shares and (b) warrants to acquire 61,533 shares of common stock that are held by various trusts and other entities for which the Reporting Person serves as trustee, investment advisor or manager, and in such capacity, has the sole power to exercise such warrants and sole voting and dispositive power over all shares underlying such warrants. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all warrants and shares underlying such warrants included in clause (b) of this footnote 3, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest.
