2. Indicates 2,250,000 Common Shares beneficially owned by the Kokino Family Clients. Mr. Averick is a Portfolio Manager at Kokino LLC ("Kokino"). Mr. Averick manages the Kokino Family Clients' investment in the Issuer as a Portfolio Manager of Kokino. Mr. Averick holds an indirect interest in certain Common Shares through his minority ownership of Piton, which is a Kokino Family Client (which ownership may be held through Piton's managing member, Piton Capital Management LLC ("PCM")). Also, Mr. Averick's incentive compensation/allocation as an employee of Kokino and member of Piton, which are generally calculated in Kokino's discretion subject to Piton's and PCM's governing documents, may be based on the performance of Common Shares held by Kokino Family Clients. Such compensation/allocation may be paid or made in cash and/or by way of increasing Mr. Averick's interest in Piton (either directly or indirectly through PCM). Kokino is PCM's managing member.

3. Indicates 500 Common Shares held in a custodial account for the benefit of an immediate family member of Mr. Averick.
