Explanation of Responses:
1. Mr. Carey gifted 1,922,097 shares from his personal account to WVC 2007 Family LLC (the "LLC"), a limited liability company of which Mr. Carey is the sole manager and one of two members. The other member is The Hanna T. Carey 2007 Family Trust UAD 12/3/07, a trust formed by Mr. Carey's spouse for the benefit of their children (the "Trust"). Mr. Carey owns 98.46% of the LLC and the Trust owns the remaining 1.54% of the LLC.
2. Mr. Carey's spouse gifted 30,000 of the 202,500 shares directly beneficially owned by her (and reported as indirectly beneficially owned by Mr. Carey in Mr. Carey's previous filings, though Mr. Carey disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares) to the Trust.
3. After receipt of the 30,000 shares from Mr. Carey's spouse, the Trust subsequently contributed those 30,000 shares to the LLC.
4. These 1,952,097 shares are the shares Mr. Carey now indirectly beneficially owns via the LLC: the 1,922,097 shares gifted directly to the LLC by Mr. Carey pursuant to Footnote (1), above, plus the 30,000 shares contributed to the LLC by the Trust pursuant to Footnote (3), above.
