Explanation of Responses:

1. This transaction represents a gift by the Reporting Person to an irrevocable nongrantor charitable lead unitrust for which the Reporting Person received no consideration. The Reporting Person is not the trustee of the trust and does not otherwise have investment control over the trust.

2. Due to the Reporting Person's 2% membership interest in the LLCs, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own the number of Shares detailed in Table I. This filing shall not be deemed an admission that such Reporting Person is, for purposes of section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise, the beneficial owner of the equity securities reported in Table I owned by the LLCs. Mr. Archos expressly disclaims his beneficial ownership of the Shares reported in Table I owned by the LLCs except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
