| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. On August 14, 2014, the Issuer, the Issuer's wholly-owned subsidiary and AC Midwest Energy LLC ("AC Midwest") entered into a series of agreements, including a certain Financing Agreement (the "Financing Agreement"), pursuant to the terms of which AC Midwest purchased from the Issuer a 12% senior secured convertible note in the aggregate principal amount of $10 million (the "Note") and a five year warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase up to an additional 12,500,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). On March 16, 2015, the above-referenced parties entered into a series of amendments related to the Financing Agreement, Note and Warrant (collectively, the "Amendments"), pursuant to which the Issuer made a $3 million payment toward the principal balance of the Note. |
| 2. Also pursuant to the Amendments, the conversion price of the Note and exercise price of the Warrant has been adjusted from $1.00 to $0.50 per share of Common Stock (the "Adjusted Price"). Each of the Note and Warrant remain subject to weighted average anti-dilution protection (except with respect to certain excluded issuances). The Warrant also remains subject to percentage based anti-dilution protection, requiring that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon initial exercise of the Warrant not be less than an amount equal to 15% of the Issuer's then outstanding shares of capital stock on a fully diluted basis. |
| 3. Interest on the Note is payable in kind for the first year (calculated from the original issuance date) (the "PIK Interest"), at a rate of 2% in cash and 10% in kind for the second year and thereafter entirely in cash. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, and it accrues or is payable, as applicable, monthly in arrears on or before the last day of each calendar month. As of March 16, 2015, following the Issuer's $3 million payment of principal, the outstanding principal balance of the Note together with all accrued interest thereon was $7,735,826. An additional $118,741 in interest will accrue and become payable through May 15, 2015. |
| 4. Reflects the difference between (i) PIK Interest on the Note that would have accrued and become payable through April 29, 2015, as previously reported by the reporting persons on a Form 4 filed on March 2, 2015, and (ii) PIK Interest on the Note that will accrue and become payable through May 15, 2015. |
| 5. Immediately exercisable. |
| 6. The maturity date of the Note is the earlier of (i) July 31, 2018, or (ii) the date on which the unpaid balance of the Note becomes due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Note, Financing Agreement or Amendments. |
| 7. Reflects the number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant as a result of the Adjusted Price. |
