The Reporting Persons may be deemed to have direct beneficial ownership of the Shares as follows:

Each of Messrs. Whitworth and Batchelder, as Principals of RILLC, may be deemed to have indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares which RILLC may beneficially own. Each of Messrs. Whitworth and Batchelder disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
