The rest of the subject securities are held by Rickert Family, Limited Partnership an entity for which Mr. Rickert is the general partner has sole voting and dispositive control. Mr. Rickert disclaims beneficial ownership of two-thirds of the shares held by the partnership for which he does not have pecuniary interest and this filing should not be construed as an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of these securities.
