Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The reported securities identified in Column 5 of Table I represent components of Units, as well as common stock acquired in open market transactions. Each Unit consists of one (1) share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one (1) share of common stock.
(2)	The Reporting Person is the managing member of Knott Partners Management, LLC, which is (i) the sole general partner of Shoshone Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P., and Mulsanne Partners, L.P. and (ii) the managing general partner of Knott Partners, L.P. The Reporting Person is also a general partner of Knott Partners, L.P.
(3)	The securities identified in this row are held by a managed account (a "Managed Account") for which Dorset Management Corporation provides portfolio management services. The Reporting Person is the President and sole director of Dorset Management Corporation.
(4)	As a result of the Reporting Person's interests in Knott Partners Management, LLC and in Dorset Management Corporation, the Reporting Person has investment discretion and control of the securities represented in this entry. The Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own an indirect pecuniary interest in the securities represented in this entry as a result of its performance-related fee. Except with respect to Knott Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P., and Shoshone Partners, L.P., in which the Reporting Person owns a beneficial interest, the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership therein except to the extent ultimately realized. Each of Knott Partners, L.P., Knott Partners Offshore Master Fund, L.P., Shoshone Partners, L.P., Mulsanne Partners, L.P., and each of the Managed Accounts disclaims beneficial ownership of securities reported as owned by any other party.
(5)	Each entry reports a component of a cross transaction in the shares set forth in column 1 of Table I among the accounts identified in Column 7 of Table I that are coded P or S in Column 3. The cross transactions reported reflect a reallocation of shares among the Reporting Person's managed clients, and the accounts that disposed of shares in the cross transaction did not acquire any shares in the cross transaction.
(6)	The Reporting Person has historically disclosed on his Section 16 filings all of the securities beneficially owned by him pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), for full disclosure purposes. However, for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Reporting Person effectively has no direct or indirect pecuniary interest (pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(2) of the Exchange Act) in any of the securities owned by Mulsanne Partners, L.P.
