Explanation of Responses:
1. The amounts shown represent the direct beneficial ownership of the Issuer's equity securities by Fleming US Discovery Fund III, LLC (the "US Fund") and Fleming Discovery Offshore Fund III, LLC (the "Offshore Fund").

Each of such persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities to the extent it exceeds such person's pecuniary interest therein.
2. The amounts shown in Table I and Table II represent the beneficial ownership of the Issuer's equity securities by the US Fund and the Offshore Fund, a portion of which may be deemed attributable to Fleming US Discovery Partners, L.P. ("Discovery Partners") because Discovery Partners is the general partner of the US Fund and the Offshore Fund. The actual pro rata portion of such beneficial ownership that may be deemed to be attributable to Discovery Partners is not readily determinable because it is subject to several variables, including the internal rate of return and vesting of interests within the US Fund and the Offshore Fund.

Designees of JPMP Capital Corp. on the Board of Managers of Discovery, LLC have voting and dispositive power over the securities shown in Table I and Table II, but no pecuniary interest.
5. The amounts shown in Table I and Table II represent the beneficial ownership of the Issuer's equity securities by the US Fund and the Offshore Fund, a portion of which may be deemed attributable to J.P.
