Explanation of Responses:
++ The securities reported on this filing are held in the account of an
unregistered investment company over which the Reporting Person has
investment 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.
