The Reporting Persons reserve the right to be in contact with members of the Issuer's management, the members of the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Board"), other significant shareholders and others regarding alternatives that the Issuer could employ to increase shareholder value.

In addition, the Reporting Persons may enter into one or more cash-settled derivative transactions with one or more counterparties that would involve payments by or to the Reporting Persons based on changes in the market price of specified amounts of the common stock of the Issuer.  These transactions would provide the Reporting Persons with economic exposure to increases and decreases in the market price of the common stock of the Issuer that may be similar to the economic exposure of an owner of such common stock, but would not provide the Reporting Persons with the ability to vote or dispose of, or direct the voting or disposition of, any common stock.
