Explanation of Responses:
(1) Distribution of shares by Centennial Holdings IV, L.P. ("Holdings IV"), a
Delaware limited partnership, the general partner of Centennial Fund IV,
L.P. ("Fund IV"). The Reporting Person is one of five general partners of
Holdings IV. By virtue of the relationship described above, the Reporting
Person may be deemed to control Holdings IV and may be deemed to possess
indirect beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities held by Holdings
IV and Fund IV. However, the Reporting Person, acting alone, does not have
voting or investment power with respect to the Issuer's securities
directly beneficially held by Holdings IV and Fund IV and, as a result, the
Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities
directly beneficially owned by Holdings IV and Fund IV, except to the extent of
the Reporting Person's indirect pecuniary interest in Holdings IV and
Fund
IV.
