Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	As previously reported, on August 14, 2014, the Issuer, the Issuer's wholly-owned subsidiary and AC Midwest Energy LLC ("AC Midwest") entered into a series of agreements, including a certain Financing Agreement (the "Original Financing Agreement"), pursuant to the terms of which AC Midwest purchased from the Issuer a 12% senior secured convertible note in the principal amount of $10 million (the "Original Convertible Note") and a five year warrant (the "First Warrant") to purchase up to an additional 12,500,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"). The First Warrant is subject to percentage based anti-dilution protection requiring that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon its initial exercise not be less than an amount equal to 15% of the Issuer's then outstanding shares of capital stock on a fully diluted basis.
(2)	On March 16, 2015, the above-referenced parties entered into series of amendments related to the Original Financing Agreement, including (i) a Wavier and Amendment to Financing Agreement and Reaffirmation of Guaranty (the "Amended Financing Agreement"), pursuant to which the Issuer made a $3 million payment toward the principal balance of the Original Convertible Note and the conversion price of the Original Convertible Note was adjusted to $0.50 per share of Common Stock, and (ii) an amendment to the First Warrant, pursuant to which the exercise price of the First Warrant was adjusted to $0.50 per share of Common Stock.
(3)	On November 16, 2015, the above-referenced parties entered into a second series of amendments related to the Amended Financing Agreement (the "Second Amended Financing Agreement"), pursuant to which AC Midwest purchased from the Issuer an additional 12% senior secured convertible note in the principal amount of $600,000 with a conversion price of $0.50 per share of Common Stock (the "Second Convertible Note" and, together with the Original Convertible Note, the "Notes") and a five year warrant to purchase up to an additional 3,600,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share of Common Stock (the "Second Warrant"). The Second Warrant is subject to percentage based anti-dilution protection requiring that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon any exercise date not be less than an amount equal to 4.3% of the Issuer's then outstanding shares of capital stock on a fully diluted basis.
(4)	Interest on the Notes is payable at a rate of 2% in cash and 10% in kind (the "PIK Interest") through August 13, 2016 and thereafter is payable entirely in cash. Interest is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed, and it accrues or is payable, as applicable, monthly in arrears on or before the last day of each calendar month. As of April 30, 2016, the outstanding principal balance of the Notes together with all accrued interest thereon was $9,370,979. An additional $80,695 of PIK Interest will accrue and become payable on the Notes through June 29, 2016.
(5)	On January 28, 2016, the above-referenced parties entered into a third series of amendments related to the Second Amended Financing Agreement (the "Third Amended Financing Agreement" and, together with the Original Financing Agreement, Amended Financing Agreement and Second Amended Financing Agreement, the "Financing Agreement"), pursuant to which AC Midwest caused its bank to issue a standby letter of credit on behalf of the Issuer, in consideration of, among other things, the Issuer's issuance of a five year warrant to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share of Common Stock (the "Third Warrant"). The Third Warrant is subject to percentage based anti-dilution protection requiring that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon its initial exercise not be less than an amount equal to 7.2% of the Issuer's then outstanding shares of capital stock on a fully diluted basis.
(6)	Immediately convertible.
(7)	The maturity date of the Notes is the earlier of (i) July 31, 2018, or (ii) the date on which the unpaid balance becomes due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Notes and Financing Agreement.
(8)	This statement is jointly filed by and on behalf of each of Alterna Core Capital Assets Fund II, L.P. ("Fund II"), Alterna Capital Partners LLC ("Alterna"), Alterna General Partner II LLC ("Fund II General Partner"), AC Midwest, Harry V. Toll, James C. Furnivall, Eric M. Press, Roger P. Miller and Earle Goldin. AC Midwest is the record and direct beneficial owner of the securities covered by this statement. Fund II owns all of the outstanding equity interests of AC Midwest and may be deemed to beneficially own securities held by AC Midwest.
(9)	Alterna, in its capacity as investment adviser to Fund II, has the ability to direct the investment decisions of the Fund II, including the power to vote and dispose of securities held by AC Midwest and may be deemed to beneficially own securities held by AC Midwest. Fund II General Partner, in its capacity as the general partner of Fund II, has the ability to direct the management of Fund II's business, including the power to direct the decisions of Fund II regarding the vote and disposition of securities held by AC Midwest and may be deemed to beneficially own securities held by AC Midwest.
