optimization of its capital structure and improvements to its corporate
governance, among other opportunities.

members of the Issuers board of directors. In addition, the Reporting Persons
may communicate with the Issuers current or prospective shareholders; its
representatives; industry participants, research analysts and members of the

in Item 4(a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D or the acquisition of

public market or through privately negotiated transactions.
Depending upon various factors including, without limitation,
an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, changes in the
Issuers operations, business strategy or prospects, prevailing market and
industry conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting
Persons, liquidity requirements and other investment considerations, the
Reporting Persons may, from time to time and at any time and in such manner as
they deem advisable (whether in the open market, through privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise), further acquire, hold, vote, trade or dispose of
some or all of the Common Stock, and may enter into financial instruments or
other agreements that increase or decrease the Reporting Persons economic
exposure with respect to their investment in the Issuer, and/or engage in
hedging or similar transactions with respect to such holdings.
