Explanation of Responses: |
1. The securities reported herein are owned directly by Prides Capital Fund I, L.P. Because Prides Capital Partners, L.L.C. is the general partner of Prides Capital Fund I, L.P., Prides Capital Partners, L.L.C. may be deemed the beneficial owner of the securities held by Prides Capital Fund I, L.P. Because Kevin A.

Messrs. Richardson and Indick disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of any pecuniary interests therein. Murray A. Indick has been deputized by Prides Capital Partners, L.L.C. to serve on the Issuer's board of directors, and therefore Prides Capital Partners, L.L.C. and each of the Reporting Persons also is a director of the Issuer for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 |
2. 10,141 five-year options granted under the Director Plan. |
