Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Each Restricted Stock Unit ("RSU") is convertible into one share of common stock, par value $0.01, of the Issuer (the "Common Stock") without additional payment pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, dated January 23, 2014, between the Issuer and the Reporting Person (the "RSU Award Agreement").
(2) One-fourth (or 6,250) of the RSUs reported hereunder vest and are exercisable as of the date of the grant, and an additional one-fourth of the RSUs (calculated using the total number of RSUs at the time of grant) vest and will be exercisable on each subsequent anniversary of the date of grant until 100 percent of the RSUs have vested, subject to the Reporting Person's continued status as an employee on each such date and other terms and conditions of set forth in the RSU Award Agreement.
(3) Upon termination of service of the Reporting Person to the Issuer, other than by reason of death or disability, any Restricted Stock Units that have not vested will be forfeited and the award of such units shall terminate.
(4) The Issuer elected to award the RSUs as consideration for services rendered to the Issuer (the "Consideration") and to encourage the continuation of such services in connection with the Reporting Person's employment with the Issuer. The value of the Consideration on the date of grant was $84,800. No additional consideration was received by the Issuer as payment for the RSUs.
