Explanation of Responses:

discretion  through the Reporting  Person's  position in the general  partner of
said  entity.  The  Reporting  Person in turn has a  pecuniary  interest  in the
securities held by said unregistered  investment company equal to his portion of
the incentive allocation  potentially made to the general partner of said entity
each year.
