        <footnote id="F1">The option was granted on 5/9/2014 and vesting commences on June 1, 2014. The option vests in 48 equal consecutive monthly installments until the option becomes fully vested and exercisable. However, the option is subject to early exercise and, therefore, all or any part of the option can be exercised at any time. If the reporting person elects to take advantage of the early exercise feature and purchase shares prior to the vesting of such shares, the shares will be deemed restricted stock and will be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Registrant if the reporting person's service to the Registrant terminates prior to vesting.</footnote>
