Explanation of Responses:
1. On December 29, 2008, the Reporting Person, Robert F.X. Sillerman, a director, executive officer and greater than 10% stockholder of the Issuer ("Sillerman"), and Paul C. Kanavos, a director, executive officer and greater than 10% stockholder of the Issuer ("Kanavos"), and certain other stockholders of the Issuer transferred to Atlas Real Estate Funds, Inc. ("Atlas") a total of 5,407,611 shares of common stock of the Issuer in exchange for voting common stock of Atlas representing approximately 97% of Atlas' outstanding voting common stock (the "Exchange Transaction).
2. Of the 5,407,611 shares of Issuer common stock transferred in the Exchange Transaction, 1,071,429 shares were transferred by the Reporting Person. As a result of the Exchange Transaction, the Reporting Person, Sillerman and Kanavos received an approximately 79% voting interest in Atlas and thereafter became Atlas' directors and executive officers. The 5,407,611 shares of Issuer common stock transferred in the Exchange Transaction were valued at $0.125 per share based on the closing price per share of common stock as reported on The NASDAQ Global Market on the date of transfer.
3. The Reporting Person, together with Sillerman and Kanavos, are deemed to be the beneficial owners of the aggregate 5,407,611 shares held by Atlas by virtue of being Atlas' controlling stockholders and executive officers and directors. Reference is made to Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D jointly filed by the Reporting Person, Sillerman, Kanavos, Atlas and the other filers named therein for further information concerning the Exchange Transaction.
