Explanation of Responses:
** Beneficial ownership of 14,792,612 shares of Common Stock reported
hereunder is being so reported solely as a result of the Option Agreement.
The option granted pursuant to the Option Agreement has not yet become
exercisable. Because such option will not become exercisable unless and
until certain specified events occur, the Reporting Person expressly
disclaims beneficial ownership of all such shares, and this report shall
not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial
owner of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any
other purpose.
*** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal
Criminal Violations.
See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
