Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were purchased in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $10.52 to $10.66, inclusive. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer, or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote.
( 2)  This stock option was granted on June 10, 2016 and vests in full on the first anniversary of the award date, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service with the Issuer. However, if the Reporting Person ceases serving as Interim CEO of the Issuer prior to the vesting date, the number of shares subject to the option will be reduced on a prorated basis to reflect the portion of the one-year vesting period the Reporting Person served as Interim CEO (plus credit for an additional 30 days), and the remainder of the option will be cancelled.
