("LILtd") distributed to their investors the proportionate share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Multimedia Games, Inc.

(3) LILP directly owns 11 shares of Common Stock and LILtd directly owns 2 shares of Common Stock. LIGLLC, as the sole general partner of LILP and the sole investment advisor to LILtd, may be deemed to beneficially own 3,931 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Pearlman, as the Chief Executive Officer and majority member of LIGLLC, may be deemed to beneficially own 23,891 shares of Common Stock, which includes 19,960 shares owned by Beach Lane Opportunity LLC, of which Mr. Pearlman is the managing member.
(4) Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of Common Stock owned by the other Reporting Persons, and this filing shall not be deemed an admission that any Reporting Person beneficially owns Common Stock owned by the other Reporting Persons, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest. Mr. Pearlman also disclaims beneficial ownership of the 19,960 shares owned by Beach Lane Opportunity LLC..
