Explanation of Responses:
(1) The Reporting Persons have less than a 100%
interest in this entity. The amount of
securities reported as beneficially owned
reflects the total amount of securities held by
this entity, which is greater than the
Reporting Persons' indirect pecuniary interest.
The Reporting Persons hereby disclaim
beneficial ownership of these securities in
excess of their indirect pecuniary interests.
