Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )Disposed of pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") between the Issuer, Atlas Copco North America and Odyssey Acquisition Corp. for $7.00 per share in cash on the effective date of the merger.
( 2 )John F. Bryant ("Mr. Bryant") received these shares in lieu of a portion of his annual Board Compensation pursuant to the Directors Stock Purchase Rights under the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, an exempt plan. These shares were assigned to Harbert Fund Advisors, Inc. ("HFA"), and are held in an affiliated brokerage account for the benefit of the investors of the Fund.
( 3 )These shares are held by Harbert Discovery Fund, LP (the "Fund") and may be deemed to be beneficially owned by (i) Harbert Discovery Fund GP, LLC (the "Fund GP"), the general partner of the Fund, (ii) HFA, the investment adviser to the Fund, (iii) Harbert Management Corporation ("HMC"), the managing member of the Fund GP, (iv) Mr. Bryant, a Senior Advisor of the Fund, and a Vice President and Senior Managing Director of HMC, (v) Kenan Lucas, the Managing Director and Portfolio Manager of the Fund GP and (v) Raymond Harbert, the controlling shareholder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HMC.

These options were cancelled pursuant to the Merger Agreement and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to (i) the difference between the $7.00 per share merger consideration and the exercise price of such stock options multiplied by (ii) the number of shares subject to such stock options.
( 6 )The options were exercisable for a period of ten years from September 1, 2016, the date of the initial grant, unless earlier terminated due to the termination of the Mr. Bryant's service as a director of the Issuer.
