Explanation of Responses:

(1)

The reporting person purchased a $330,000 principal amount convertible note from the issuer. The note may be converted at the holder's option into shares of the issuer's common stock at a variable conversion price based upon a discount to the Company's per share market price at the time of conversion. The note matures on 1/11/2020. The note may not be converted if the number of common shares to be received by the reporting person would result in the reporting person beneficially owning more than 19.99% of all common shares then outstanding. Accordingly, the reporting person may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of up to 19.99% of the issuer's common stock.
