The Reporting Persons do not have any current plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any transaction, event or action enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except as otherwise described herein.

Each of the Reporting Persons reserves the right, in light of its ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s financial condition, business, operations and prospects, the market price of the Common Stock, commodity prices, conditions in the securities markets generally, general economic and industry conditions, its business objectives and other relevant factors, to change its plans and intentions at any time, as it deems appropriate.
