Explanation of Responses:

1. These shares of restricted stock are subject to right of forfeiture in favor of the Issuer. The right of forfeiture shall lapse with respect to 25% of the shares on each of the first and second anniversaries following March 23, 2013 (the "Vesting Commencement Date"), and the remaining 50% of the shares on the third anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, subject to continued employment through each such vesting date.

2. 25% of the shares subject to the option vest on the first anniversary following March 23, 2013 (the "Vesting Commencement Date"), and 1/48th of the total number of shares vest in thirty-six (36) successive and equal monthly installments thereafter, such that 100% of the shares subject to the option will be fully vested and exercisable on the fourth anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date, subject to continued employment through each such vesting date.

3. The shares subject to the option shall vest upon the achievement of certain performance milestones, as approved by the Issuer's Board of Directors, provided that, any unvested portion of the option shall fully vest on the fourth anniverary following March 23, 2013, irrespective of achievement of any of the performance milestones, and subject to continued employment through each such vesting date. None of the shares subject to the option are currently vested or exercisable.
