Footnotes

F1: Mr. Alpert directly and indirectly owns common stock of the Issuer. As such, Mr. Alpert received, at no cost from the
Issuer, rights to purchase 0.6344 shares of common stock for every share of common stock owned plus rights to subscribe for
additional shares up to 20% of the shares of common stock for which he was otherwise entitled to subscribe in the event not
all shares of common stock were subscribed for initially. This Form 4 reports the exercise of subscription rights
beneficially owned by Mr. Alpert. Receipt of subscription rights was not reported because such receipt is exempt under Rule
16a-9(b).
