Explanation of Responses:
(1)	These shares of common stock were withheld by the Issuer to satisfy tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting of restricted stock units.
(2)	These shares are held by Drive Capital Overdrive Fund I, L.P. ("DCOF I") (112,469), Drive Capital Overdrive Fund I (TE), L.P. ("DCOF I TE") (54,382), and Drive Capital Overdrive Ignition Fund I, L.P. ("DCOIF I") (1,593). Drive Capital Overdrive Fund I (GP), LLC ("DCOIF I GP"), the general partner of each of DCOF I, DCOF I TE and DEOIF I, may be deemed to have sole power to vote these shares. The Reporting Person's spouse does not have voting or investment control over these shares but may be deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest in such shares through her carried interest in DCOIF I GP. The Reporting Person's exact pecuniary interest is not readily determinable because it is subject to several variables. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any of these shares except to the extent of his spouse's pecuniary interest therein.
