Explanation of Responses:
1. The reporting persons are: (i) RBF Capital, LLC ("RBF"); and (ii) Richard B. Fullerton, RBF's managing member.
2. The securities reported on this Form 4 are beneficially held by investment limited partnerships for which RBF serves as the general partner and/or investment manager (the "Funds"). None of the Funds is itself the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the issuer's common stock.
3. RBF and Mr. Fullerton may be deemed to beneficially own the securities owned by the Funds insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of such securities. Each of RBF, Mr. Fullerton and the Funds disclaims beneficial ownership in these securities, however, except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interests therein.
4. The full price per share for the 2,400, 3,500, 476 and 4,415 shares sold on December 13, 2010 was $6.103333, $6.136143, $6.170798 and $6.18625, respectively.
