Subject to applicable law, any Reporting Person may discuss the foregoing or other matters with management or directors of Cubic (including the Investor Designated Directors), other shareholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit and other investors (including the other Reporting Persons). Except as set forth above, each Reporting Person affirms that neither it nor, to the best of its knowledge, any other person identified on the respective Schedule attached hereto with respect to such Reporting Person, has any present plan or proposal which relates to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
