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)	The securities reported in this column consist of 75,000 restricted stock units which give the Reporting Person a contingent right to receive at a future date one share of JMBA common stock for each RSU held and will be settled in shares on the applicable vesting date. Of the 75,000 RSUs, 5,000 are subject to time-based vesting and will vest in equal annual installments on each of March 20, 2018, March 20, 2019 and March 20, 2020. Of the remaining RSUs, 35,000, 20,000 and 15,000 RSUs will vest upon the 30th consecutive trading day the closing price of JMBA common stock equals or exceeds $19.50, $24.00 and $28.50, respectively, or upon a change of control whereby JMBA's stockholders receive a per share consideration equaling or exceeding such target price, so long as the target price is achieved during the three year period beginning on the vesting commencement date, and in each case so long as the Reporting Person remains an employee of JMBA and/or its affiliates.
