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.
