** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The transactions reported on this Form 4 were to repurchase put options previously written by the Reporting Persons prior to becoming subject to Section 16; as a decrease in put equivalent position, the transactions are deemed to be a purchase of such derivative securities but result in the Reporting Persons no longer holding this derivative security.
(2) These securities are held directly and jointly by Kevin Douglas and his wife, Michelle Douglas.
(3) Each of the reporting persons hereunder (individually, a "Reporting Person" and collectively the "Reporting Persons") may be deemed a member of a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") or Rule 13d-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act, with one or more of the other Reporting Persons. Although the Reporting Persons are reporting such securities as if they were members of a "group", the filing of this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission by any Reporting Person that such Reporting Person is a beneficial owner of any securities other than those directly held by such Reporting Person.
(4) These securities are held directly by the James Douglas and Jean Douglas Irrevocable Descendants' Trust and indirectly by Kevin Douglas. Kevin Douglas and Michelle Douglas, husband and wife, are each a co-trustee of the James Douglas and Jean Douglas Irrevocable Descendants' Trust.
(5) These securities are held directly by the Douglas Family Trust and indirectly by Kevin Douglas. James E. Douglas and Jean A. Douglas, husband and wife, are each a co-trustee of the Douglas Family Trust.
