The Reporting Persons continuously evaluate the business and prospects of the Issuer and its subsidiaries, alternative investment opportunities and all other factors deemed relevant in determining whether additional securities of the Issuer or its subsidiaries will be acquired by the Reporting Persons or whether the Reporting Persons will dispose of any Shares or the Iroko Warrant acquired by any of them. At any time, subject to the limitations set forth in the definitive agreements described in Item 6 hereof, securities of the Issuer or its subsidiaries may be acquired, or some or all of the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons may be sold, in either case in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
