Explanation of Responses:

1. Mr. Sarachek is the principal and manager of TopCo 1, LLC, which is the manager of JSARCo, LLC.

2. Of such warrants, 8,750,000 vested on July 28, 2017 and 4,825,000 will vest in connection with the conversion of the issuer's senior unsecured convertible notes outstanding as of July 28, 2017 (the "Outstanding Convertible Notes") into shares of the issuer's common stock on a 1 to 1 basis, or earlier upon the earliest date on which (x) at least 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Convertible Notes are converted into shares of the issuer's common stock, or (y) all of the Outstanding Convertible Notes are no longer outstanding.

Remarks:

Because Joseph E. Sarachek, a director of the issuer, has voting and investment power over securities beneficially owned by TopCo 1, LLC and JSARCo, LLC, TopCo 1, LLC and JSARCo, LLC, may be deemed to be directors by deputization.
