Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The reported securities are owned directly by Mark E Strome Living Trust (the "Trust"). Mark E. Strome (the "Reporting Person") is the trustee of the Trust and may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, except the extent of his respective pecuniary interest in the securities. ( 2 )Subject to the conversion limitation (described in note 3), the reported securities are convertible into common stock of the issuer at any time, and has no expiration date, but is subject to mandatory conversion on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. ( 3 )The reported securities are subject to a conversion limitation that prohibits the issuer from effecting a conversion of the reported securities into common stock if giving effect to the conversion would cause the holder to beneficially own (together with its affiliates or any "group" members) in excess of 4.99% of the common stock (or, upon notice by the holder, in excess of 9.99% of the common stock). As beneficial owner of more than 10% of the common stock, the Reporting Person is effectively barred from converting the reported securities into additional shares of common stock. Absent this conversion limitation, the reported securities would be convertible into 1,818,181 shares of the issuer's common stock at the election of the Fund based on a conversion formula, which is determined by dividing the stated value of the reported securities ($1,000) by the conversion price.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
