Explanation of Responses:

1. As previously reported, 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 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").

2. Also as previously reported, 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 and the conversion price of the Note and exercise price of the Warrant were adjusted to $0.50 per share of Common Stock. The Warrant remains subject to percentage based anti-dilution protection, requiring that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon its initial exercise 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. On April 30, 2015, the outstanding principal balance of the Note increased by $77,768 (to an aggregate principal amount of $7,854,567). An additional $81,164 of PIK interest will accrue on the Note through June 29, 2015.

4. Immediately convertible.

5. 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.

6. This statement is jointly filed by and on behalf of each of Alterna Core Capital Assets Fund II, L.P. ("Fund II"), Alterna Capital Partners LLC ("Alterna"), Alterna General Partner II LLC ("Fund II General Partner"), AC Midwest, Harry V. Toll, James C. Furnivall, Eric M. Press, Roger P.
