| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. Represents grant of restricted stock. Shares will vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date. |
| 2. Shares issued pursuant to the Issuer's 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Reporting Person did not provide, and the Issuer did not receive any consideration for the issuance of these shares. |
| 3. Amount reported does not include the 85,673 shares (the "Shares") reported as acquired by the Reporting Person on the Form 4 filed on November 4, 2013. Although the Reporting Person acquired 28,545 of the Shares on October 31, 2014, as reported in the Reporting Person's Form 4 filed on November 6, 2014, the Reporting Person has not acquired the remainder of the Shares in transactions reportable on Form 4, as the issuance price of the remaining shares has yet to be fixed. Additionally, the Shares are not issued as restricted stock awards under the Issuer's option plan, but are issued as unregistered securities pursuant to the terms of an acquisition agreement between the Issuer and CS Financial (the "Agreement") in three equal annual installments so long as certain performance based targets set forth in the Agreement are achieved. |
| 4. Shares disposed to satisfy the Reporting Person's tax liability incurred by the vesting of a previously granted award. |
| 5. The exercise price of this warrant is subject to certain automatic adjustments in accordance with the terms of the warrant. Based on these automatic adjustments to the original $11.00 exercise price, it has been determined that the exercise price for these warrants was $9.32 per share as of December 31, 2014. |
| 6. Warrants became exercisable as follows: (i) 95,000 shares became exercisable on January 1, 2011; (ii) 130,000 shares became exercisable on April 1, 2011; (iii) 130,000 shares became exercisable on July 1, 2011; and (iv) 80,000 shares became exercisable on October 1, 2011. Shares are exercisable with respect to each vesting tranche five years after the tranche's vesting date. |
| 7. Options will vest according to the following schedule: 20% increments on each of May 13, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. |
