Explanation of Responses:
++  The securities reported on this filing are held in the account of an
    unregistered investment company over which the Reporting Person has
    investment discretion through the Reporting Person's position in the
    general partner of said entity.  The Reporting Person in turn has a
    pecuniary interest in the securities held by said unregistered investment
    company equal to her portion of the incentive allocation potentially made
    to the general partner of said entity each year.
