Explanation of Responses:

(1) Shares held by the Kenneth R. Kensey Revocable Trust for the benefit of Kenneth R. Kensey, M.D. and his spouse. Kenneth R. Kensey and Harland W. Johnson are trustees of the Kenneth R. Kensey Revocable Trust.
(2) The Kenneth R. Kensey Revocable Trust entered into a "zero cost collar" arrangement pursuant to which covered call options were written and put options were purchased. Only one of the call and put options can be in the money on the expiration date, at which time the in-the-money option will be exercised (and settled for cash), and the other option will expire. If neither option is in the money on the expiration date, both options expire.
