Explanation of Responses:
(1)	The Reporting Person is a member of a Section13(d) group that owns in the aggregate more than 10% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock as disclosed in a Schedule 13D, filed on behalf of the Reporting Person and certain other stockholders of the Issuer on April 2, 2018, as amended. As such, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own more than 10% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock. The securities reported herein do not include any securities held by any group member other than the Reporting Person, as such shares are being reported in a separate Form 3 filing.
(2)	The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such shares of Common Stock for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
