Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents a "net exercise" of outstanding stock options. These shares were withheld by the Issuer for payment of the exercise price, based on the closing market price of the Issuer's common stock on March 29, 2022 of $3.41. The options would otherwise expire on April 27, 2022, pursuant to their terms.
2. This option was granted on April 27, 2012 and was previously reported as covering 154,555 shares at an exercise price of $0.37 per share, but was adjusted to reflect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split that occurred on June 4, 2019 and a share reprice to $1.39 per share that occurred on February 12, 2020.
3. The shares vested 1/48th of the first day of each month, commencing May 1, 2012.
