Explanation of Responses:

1. This Form 3 is filed jointly by WGL Capital Corp. ("WGL") and Steel Partners, Ltd. ("SPL"). SPL may be deemed to be a 10% owner of the Issuer and WGL is a 10% owner of the Issuer.

2. Represents Class B Common Units. The Class B Common Units have the same rights as the Common Units except that a Class B Common Unit will not be saleable in the public market until the capital account allocable to such Class B Common Unit is equal to the capital account allocable to a Common Unit ("Capital Account Alignment"), determined as if a Class B Common Unit and a Common Unit were separate partnership interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. At such time that Capital Account Alignment is achieved, a Class B Common Unit will convert automatically into a Common Unit. Class B Common Units (including Class B Common Units received in respect of a year) will be allocated their share of taxable income based on their percentage interests, except as otherwise determined by the Issuer.

3. SPL is the sole shareholder of WGL and may be deemed to have shared investment and voting power with respect to the Class B Common Units held by WGL. SPL disclaims beneficial ownership of the Class B Common Units beneficially owned by WGL, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.
