Explanation of Responses:

1. Vests in equal installments on October 7, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027.

2.

In the event Reporting Person fails to comply with the purchasing vesting condition, they will forfeit an amount of the options proportionate to any shortfall from such Maximum Amount to a minimum threshold of $200,000 after which all of the options will be forfeited.
