Explanation of Responses:

1. Tyson Foods, Inc.("Tyson") and Syntroleum Corporation ("Issuer") formed Dynamic Fuels LLC, a 50/50 joint venture, that is building a renewable fuels refinery in Geismar, LA. Upon the formation of the joint venture the parties entered into a Warrant Agreement, dated June 22, 2007. Under the warrant agreement, Tyson was issued Warrant Tranche I, which will become exercisable on the first anniversary of the Geismar, LA. plant commencing commercial operations and expires if not exercised before the third anniversary of the initial commercial operation date.

2. The reported warrants are owned directly by Tyson and may be deemed to be beneficially owned (i) by the Tyson Limited Partnership ("TLP") which has 69.76% of the voting rights in Tyson and (ii) by Donald J. Tyson who has approximately 54% combined interest as a general and limited partner in the Tyson Limited Partnership and therefore the TLP and Donald J. Tyson have an indirect beneficial ownership of the warrants held by Tyson. The TLP and Donald J. Tyson disclaim any beneficial ownership in the Warrants.
