Explanation of Responses:
(1)  Directly owned by GE Ventures Limited, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Electric Company ("General Electric"). General Electric disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer held by GE Ventures Limited except to the extent of its pecuniary interest, and the filing of this Form shall not be deemed an admission that General Electric is the beneficial owner of any equity securities of the Issuer for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose.
(2)  These securities are convertible at any time into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock at the holder's election and automatically convert, upon the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering, into the number of shares of Common Stock shown in column 3 above. These securities do not have an expiration date.
(3)  These securities are exercisable for Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and are deemed automatically exercised immediately prior to the closing of the Issuer's initial underwritten public offering of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, which public offering has been declared effective by the SEC. These securities are exercisable for a period ending upon the earliest to occur of (i) seven years after the effective date, (ii) the date of the Issuer's initial public offering, or (iii) the date of a merger event, in each case, as defined therein.
