Explanation of Responses:

1. The securities to which this filing relates are held directly by certain private-pooled investment vehicles for which the Reporting Person serves as the investment manager (the "Funds"). The Reporting Person is the investment manager of the Funds, and has been granted investment discretion over portfolio investments, including the Common Shares held by the Funds. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as to such extent of the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest in the securities.

2. Settlement of cash settled equity swaps. The cash settled equity swaps were settled pursuant to their terms. The swaps were exercisable at any time. 253,554 of the 564,635 notional shares settled under the swap contract were settled at a settlement price of $0.1214 and the remaining 311,081 notional shares were settled at a settlement price of $0.1253.

3. Cash-settled equity swap. Swaps are not counted for purposes of determining 10% beneficial ownership. These contracts do not give the Reporting Person direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any securities of the Issuer and do not require the counterparties thereto to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Issuer. Accordingly, the Reporting Person disclaims any beneficial ownership in securities that may be referenced in such contracts or that may be held from time to time by any counterparties to the contracts.
