Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(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)	The Convertible Promissory Note and all accrued interest thereon is convertible into shares of common stock of the Issuer, from time to time following the determination of the VWAP Price (as defined below), at the option of the holder thereof, at a conversion price equal to the greater of (x) $2.03 per share; and (y) the VWAP Price. The "VWAP Price" equals the volume weighted average price (calculated by aggregate trading value on each trading day) of the Issuer's common stock for the 20 trading days ending August 29, 2018.
(2)	As the VWAP Price is not yet calculable, the number of shares described above is based on a $2.03 per share conversion price, subject to adjustment in connection with the final VWAP Price. The terms of the Convertible Promissory Note are described in greater detail in the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 1, 2018.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, See Instruction 6 for procedure.
