Under an agreement between Haines and ALLP, Haines is deemed to hold the Options and any shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Options for the benefit of ABV VI, and must exercise the Options solely upon the direction of ALLP.

2. The Options were granted on June 9, 2016 and the shares underlying the Options will vest 100% at the earlier of (i) June 9, 2017 and (ii) the Issuer's next annual meeting of stockholders.

3. ABV VI may be deemed the indirect beneficial owner of the Options, and Haines may be deemed the indirect beneficial owner of the Options through his indirect interest in ABV VI. ALLP disclaims beneficial ownership of the Options except to the extent, if any, of its pecuniary interest therein. This report shall not be deemed an admission that ALLP, ABV VI, Haines or any other person is the beneficial owner of the securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
