Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(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) On April 21, 2004 Mr. Paolino borrowed $4,105,500 on a limited non-recourse basis (under certain circumstances the loan was recourse) and secured the loan with a pledge of 1,190,000 shares of Mace Security International, Inc. common stock. On November 3, 2004, Mr. Paolino received a notice dated November 2, 2004 from the lender that asserted that (i) Mr. Paolino was in default of the loan, and (ii) the lender would exercise its purported rights under the loan agreements. The lender has asserted that its purported rights under the loan agreement include the right to (i) terminate the loan agreement and (ii) take possession of the pledged stock. Mr. Paolino does not believe that the lender is entitled to terminate the loan and take possession of the pledged stock.
(2) The lender maintains that Mr. Paolino defaulted on the loan by failing to pay an interest payment when due, although Mr. Paolino tendered the interest payment to the lender upon receiving the notice dated November 2, 2004 and the lender accepted the payment. The value of the pledged stock at the close of market on December 8, 2004 was $5,961,900, which exceeds the loan by $1,856,400. Mr. Paolino intends to contest the lender's actions.
(3) Mr. Paolino and the lender had agreed to a standstill agreement while negotiating their dispute. The standstill agreement expired on December 8, 2004. During the standstill agreement the Lender had agreed that it would not sell or otherwise dispose of the pledged shares. As of the date of this Form 4, Mr. Paolino does not know whether the Lender has sold the pledged shares and the Lender has declined to provide any information regarding the current disposition of the shares.
(4) This amount is the number of shares beneficially owned by Mr. Paolino without deduction of the 1,190,000 pledged shares.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
