Subject to applicable law and regulations and, depending upon certain factors, including general market and investment conditions, the financial performance and strategic direction of the Issuer, and the availability of shares of Common Stock at prices that would make the purchase of such shares desirable, the Reporting Persons may increase their position in the Issuer through the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons deem advisable.

The Reporting Persons reserve the right in the future to dispose of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise, at any time and from time to time, and to engage in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities.

Based on the above discussions with the Issuer and subject to the factors described above, the Reporting Persons may nominate or recommend candidates to serve on the Board; have discussions with other stockholders and potential nominees to the Board; make additional proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the strategy, capitalization, ownership structure, operations, governance structure or Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Issuer; or change their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.
