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)	In an exempt disposition to the Issuer under rule 16b-3(e), the Issuer withheld shares otherwise to be delivered to the Reporting Person in connection with the satisfaction of the Company's estimate of the Reporting Person's minimum statutory tax withholding requirement arising from the vesting of such shares under a previously reported award of restricted stock units.
(2)	The shares subject to the performance-based RSU grant became eligible to vest as of March 1, 2018 based on the Company's achievement of GAAP revenue for its fiscal year 2017 relative to the Company's target revenue for the period, which target the Company's Board of Directors approved at its meeting on February 1, 2017.
(3)	50% of the shares subject to the grant became eligible to vest as of December 19, 2017, when the 20-day, average trailing-closing-price for the Company's Common Stock as reported by NYSE exceeded $5.50 per share. Under the terms of the grant, such shares will be delivered to the Reporting Person in four equal installments as of each of March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, 2018, subject to the Reporting Person continuing as a service provider to the Company as of such respective dates.
