Explanation of Responses:
1. On February 24, 2014, the reporting person was granted a stock option to purchase 24,000 shares of common stock. The option vested as to 6,000 of the shares subject to the option upon the compensation committee's certification that certain performance criteria had been met ("Performance Critieria 1"), which certification occurred on November 10, 2015, resulting in the vesting of the option as to 6,000 shares on that date. As a result of Performance Criteria 1 being satisfied, in addition to the vesting of the option as to 6,000 shares on November 10, 2015, an additional 6,000 of the shares subject to the option will now vest on November 10, 2016, subject to continuous service. Note this is in addition to the 12,000 options previously disclosed for meeting certain performance criteria ("Performance Criteria 2") which was certified on January 7, 2015.
