Although the foregoing represents the range of activities currently contemplated by the Reporting Persons and, to their knowledge, their respective general partners, directors and officers, as applicable, with respect to the Company, it should be noted that the possible activities of the Reporting Persons and their respective general partners, directors and officers are subject to change at any time.
