Explanation of Responses:

1. The sales reported on this Form 4 represent shares required to be sold by the Reporting Person to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs"). These sales are mandated by the Issuer's election under its equity incentive plans to require the satisfaction of tax withholding obligations to be funded by a "sell to cover" transaction and do not represent discretionary trades by the Reporting Person.

2. Represents the weighted average sale price. The lowest price at which shares were sold was $0.576 and the highest price at which shares were sold was $0.635. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide upon request to the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Issuer or its stockholders, full information regarding the total number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth herein.

3. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Common Stock upon settlement for no consideration.

4. The RSUs will vest as to 1/2 of the total number of shares underlying the award on each of February 1, 2023 and February 1, 2024, subject to the Reporting Person's provision of service to the Issuer on each vesting date.

5. The RSUs do not expire; these securities either vest and settle or are canceled prior to the vesting date.
