Explanation of Responses:

1. This option vests over a period of four years, with one quarter of the common shares underlying the option vesting on March 18, 2016 and the remainder vesting in twelve equal quarterly installments thereafter. The option allows for early exercise, subject to the Issuer's repurchase option with respect to any unvested common shares. All common shares underlying such option will become fully vested upon a change in control, as that term is defined in the Issuer's 2015 Equity Incentive Plan.
