Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons purchased the securities of the Issuer based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that such securities, when purchased, were significantly undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to (i) increase or decrease their respective positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable and/or (ii) enter into transactions that increase or hedge their economic exposure to the securities of the Issuer without affecting their beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock.

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investments in the Issuer on a periodic basis and may from time to time engage in communications and discussions with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), other stockholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit, and other investors. Such review and discussions may materially affect, and result in, among other things, the Reporting Persons (i) modifying their ownership of the Common Stock; (ii) exchanging information with the Issuer pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements; (iii) proposing changes in the Issuer’s operations, governance or capitalization; (iv) pursuing a transaction that would result in the Reporting Persons’ acquisition of all or a controlling interest in the Issuer; or (v) pursuing one or more of the other actions described in set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Initially, such discussions are expected to involve the Issuer’s business plan, G&A levels, other expenditures and corporate governance, as well as the composition of the Board and the compensation levels of management and the Board.

The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
