Explanation of Responses:
1. Longview Management Group, LLC ("Longview") manages investment accounts for clients including certain beneficial owners of securities of the Issuer. Longview exercises voting and dispositive control over the securities held by these beneficial owners, and, accordingly, is deemed to beneficially own the shares and warrants reported on this Form 4. As President of Longview, James A. Star is deemed to beneficially own the shares and warrants reported on this Form 4. As the majority equity owner of Longview, the Edward Memorial Trust and its trustee, Geoffrey F. Grossman, are deemed to beneficially own the shares and warrants reported on this Form 4. Except for such deemed beneficial ownership, neither Longview, Mr. Star, the Edward Memorial Trust, nor Mr. Grossman own any securities of the Issuer and each of them disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.
