| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. This Form 4 is filed jointly by Steel Partners Holdings L.P. ("Steel Holdings"), WebFinancial Holding Corporation ("WebFinancial") and Steel Partners Holdings GP Inc. ("Steel Holdings GP") (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"). Steel Holdings owns 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock of WebFinancial. Steel Holdings GP is the general partner of Steel Holdings. Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be a member of a Section 13(d) group that collectively owns more than 10% of the Issuer's outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Section 13(d) Group"). |
| 2. Represents securities owned directly by WebFinancial. By virtue of their relationships with WebFinancial discussed in Footnote 1, each of Steel Holdings and Steel Holdings GP may be deemed to beneficially own the securities owned directly by WebFinancial. Each of Steel Holdings and Steel Holdings GP disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities owned directly by WebFinancial. |
| 3. WebFinancial owned $13,940,000 principal amount of the Issuer's 7.50% Convertible Senior Notes due September 1, 2024 (the "2024 Notes"). Under the terms of the 2024 Notes, each $1,000 of principal of the 2024 Notes were initially convertible into 45.1356 shares of Common Stock, which was equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $22.16 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, or, if the Issuer obtains the required consent from its stockholders, into shares, cash or a combination of cash and shares, at the Issuer's election. |
| 4. Represents a repayment of the 2024 Notes by the Issuer in accordance with their terms. This transaction is exempt under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. |
