Explanation of Responses:
1. Compensation for service on the Board of Directors and for attendance at Board meetings. Non-employee directors receive compensation in the form of options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at below market prices ($0.25 per share), in lieu of cash payments of $4,500 quarterly, $1,500 per meeting attended in person or videoconference, and $500 for a meeting attended by telephone. The number of shares is calculated using the closing price of the Company's common stock for the date of a Board or Committee meeting or, with respect to the quarterly retainer payments, the closing price for the last business day of the quarter, less the option price of $0.25 per share. Options so issued vest immediately.
