3. Each of Linn and the individuals identified in the Prior Filings disclaims any beneficial ownership of any of the Issuer's securities reported or referred to herein or therein for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "'34 Act"), or otherwise, except to the extent of his or her pecuniary interest, if any. FPLLC disclaims any beneficial ownership of any of the Issuer's securities reported or referred to herein or in the Prior Filings for purposes of Section 16 of the '34 Act or otherwise, except as to securities representing its pro rata interest in, and interest in the profits of, the Partnerships.
