Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )As previously reported on a Form 4 filed on November 2, 2016 by the reporting person, the reporting person reported acquiring options to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock (the "Option") pursuant to the Company's 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). However, the Company discovered that, due to an inadvertent error, the Option exceeded by 150,000 shares the Plan's 250,000 share limit on grants under the Plan to any eligible person in a calendar year. Accordingly, the attempted grant of more than 250,000 options was ineffective and was never granted to the reporting person. The reporting person is filing this amendment to report the correct amount of options acquired. ( 2 )The Option vests in two equal annual installments beginning on November 2, 2017.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
