DJ Fund, Goldman, LaRocque and Asher have entered into an informal unwritten agreement that provides Asher with investment and voting power over the securities. By virtue of these relationships, Goldman, LaRocque and Asher may be deemed to have voting and investment power over the securities held by DJ Fund and as a result may be deemed to have beneficial ownership over such securities. Both Goldman and LaRoque disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities.

The filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner of any securities covered by the statement for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended or for any other purpose, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein, if any, or actual ownership of such securities, if any.
