Explanation of Responses:
1. The securities to which this filing relates are held directly by Adage Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Fund"). Adage Capital Partners GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("ACPGP"), serves as the general partner of the Fund and as such has discretion over the portfolio securities beneficially owned by the Fund. Adage Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("ACM"), serves as the investment manager of the Fund and as such has discretion over the portfolio securities beneficially owned by the Fund. Robert Atchinson and Phillip Gross are the managing members of (i) Adage Capital Advisors, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, managing member of ACPGP and (ii) Adage Capital Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, general partner of ACM.
2. Each of the reporting persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except as to such extent of such reporting person's pecuniary interest in the securities.
3. The Warrants contain an issuance limitation prohibiting the holder of such Warrants from exercising the Warrants until such time as the holder, together with certain related parties, would not beneficially own after any such exercise more than 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock (the "Blocker"). Due to the Blocker, none of the Warrants held by the Fund are presently exercisable.
