Explanation of Responses:
(1) Represents shares received in the oversubscription in connection
with the issuer's rights offering. (2) Owned by custodial accounts, the custodian of
which is the reporting person and the beneficiaries of which are the niece and nephew
of the reporting person. (3) Mr. Gabelli has less than a 100% interest in this entity.
The securities reported reflect the total amount of securities beneficially owned by
this entity, which is greater than Mr. Gabelli's indirect pecuniary interest. Mr.
Gabelli hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by this entity which
are in excess of his indirect pecuniary interest.
