The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis.

The Reporting Persons may also engage in discussions with the Issuers management, members of its board of directors, stockholders and other relevant parties or take other actions concerning the Issuers operations, capital expenditures, financings, capital structure, and the composition of the Issuers board of directors, including nominating one or more directors to the board, and any matter set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
