Explanation of Responses:

The option is durational-based. No option shares are vested on the date of grant and the remaining option shares vest and become exercisable in three successive equal annual installments from October 24, 2019, provided, however, that there has not been a termination of service as of each such date. In no event will the option become exercisable for any additional option shares after a termination of service.
