Explanation of Responses:

1. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for any other purpose.

2. The Reporting Person's previous reports listed 174,469 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,900 shares of Class B Common Stock held by Yadkin Valley Company which she may have been considered to beneficially own indirectly as a result of her position as a director of that company, but which indirect ownership she disclaimed. She no longer serves as a director of the company, and those shares will no longer be listed on her reports.

3. The reporting person is a director, officer and/or shareholder of the companies that own these shares, but she disclaims beneficial ownership of the listed shares except to the extent of her pecuniary interest therein, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for any other purpose.
