Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) BC European Capital VIII-22, a United Kingdom limited partnership, is the record owner of 70 shares of 10% Series A Redeemable Convertible Participating Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), which were convertible into 14,000 shares of the Common Stock as of the Purchase Date.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) The values set forth in this field are based upon the conversion rate as of the Purchase Date. The dividends on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the 10% Series B Redeemable Conditional Convertible Participating Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock" and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the "Preferred Stock") accrete daily and are payable quarterly in cash or by adding the dividends in arrears to the liquidation preference. In the event that shares of the Preferred Stock are converted into the Common Stock, the conversion rate will be adjusted to reflect that amount of dividends that have accreted since the last quarterly payment.
(4) Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock was acquired for $1,000 per share and is initially convertible into 200 shares of Common Stock, which represents a Common Stock share price of $5.00. The conversion rate is subject to change.
(5) This line entry represents the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by BC European Capital VIII-22.
(6) Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting and investment power with respect to the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock owned by each of the other Reporting Persons. As such, based upon the conversion rate as of the Purchase Date, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared beneficial ownership of 54,919,200 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of 274,596 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock held by the Investors. Each Investor, however, disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to the shares owned by each of the other Reporting Persons.
(7) BC European Capital VIII-22 is the record owner of 19 shares of Series B Preferred Shares, which are not presently convertible into Common Stock but will automatically become convertible into shares of the Common Stock, at the holder's option, if approved by the holders of the Common Stock (including the Series A Preferred Stock). If the shares of Series B Preferred Stock were convertible into shares of Common Stock, BC European Capital VIII-22's shares of Series B Preferred Stock would be convertible into 3,800 shares of the Common Stock, based on the conversion rate as of the Purchase Date.
(8) The Series B Preferred Stock is not presently convertible into Common Stock but will immediately become convertible, at the holder's option, upon the approval of the holders of the Common Stock. If such Series B Preferred Stock were convertible as of the Purchase Date, the Series B Preferred Stock, which were acquired for $1,000 per share, would have had an initial conversion rate of 200 per share, which represents a Common Stock share price of $5.00. The conversion rate is subject to change.
(9) This line entry represents the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by BC European Capital VIII-22.
(10) The Series B Preferred Stock is not presently convertible into Common Stock but will become convertible, at the holder's option, upon the approval of the holders of the Common Stock. In the event that the Series B Preferred Stock becomes convertible, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting and investment power with respect to the Common Stock owned by each of the other Reporting Persons. As of the Purchase Date, the Investors held 75,404 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, which would have been convertible into 15,080,800 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock based upon the conversion rate as of the Purchase Date, if such Series B Preferred Stock were convertible. Each Investor, however, disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to the shares owned by each of the other Reporting Persons.
(11) BC European Capital VIII-23, a United Kingdom limited partnership, is the record owner of 47 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 9,400 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer based on the conversion rate as of the Purchase Date.
(12) This line entry represents the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by BC European Capital VIII-23.
(13) BC European Capital VIII-23 is the record owner of 13 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which are not presently convertible into Common Stock but will automatically become convertible into shares of the Common Stock, at the holder's option, if approved by the holders of the Common Stock (including the Series A Preferred Stock). If such shares were convertible into Common Shares, BC European Capital VIII-23's shares of Series B Preferred Stock would be convertible into 2,600 shares of Common Stock, based on the conversion rate as of the Purchase Date.
(14) This line entry represents the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by BC European Capital VIII-23.
(15) BC European Capital VIII-24, a United Kingdom limited partnership, is the record owner of 700 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 140,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer based on the conversion rate as of the Purchase Date.
(16) This line entry represents the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by BC European Capital VIII-24.
(17) BC European Capital VIII-24 is the record owner of 192 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, which are not presently convertible into Common Stock but will automatically become convertible into shares of the Common Stock, at the holder's option, if approved by the holders of the Common Stock (including the Series A Preferred Stock). If such shares were convertible into Common Shares, BC European Capital VIII-24's shares of Series B Preferred Stock would be convertible into 38,400 shares of Common Stock, based on the conversion rate as of the Purchase Date.
(18) This line entry represents the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by BC European Capital VIII-24.
(19) BC European Capital VIII-25, a United Kingdom limited partnership, is the record owner of 47 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which are convertible into 9,400 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer based on the conversion rate as of the Purchase Date.

If such shares were convertible into Common Shares, BC European Capital VIII-25's shares of Series B Preferred Stock would be convertible into 2,600 shares of Common Stock, based on the conversion rate as of the Purchase Date.
