Explanation of Responses:
1. Comprised entirely of Restricted Stock Units that will be settled into common stock upon a "Change In Control", as defined in the Amended and Restated CytoSorbents Corporation 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan").
2. The shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units were omitted from the reporting person's original Form 3, and also were omitted from four Forms 4 filed by the reporting person after the filing of his original Form 3.
3. These options were granted pursuant to the Plan and became exercisable as to one-half of the award on each of the first anniversary of the date of grant and the second anniversary of the date of grant.
4. These options were omitted from the reporting person's original Form 3.
5. On May 11, 2017, the reporting person was granted an option to purchase 45,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the Plan, which was to vest upon achievement of certain performance goals as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer. This grant was omitted from the reporting person's original Form 3. On February 28, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company determined that 85% of such performance criteria was achieved during 2017, resulting in vesting of 38,250 shares underlying this option.
