Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

            The Reporting Person acquired the Shares for investment purposes, based upon the Reporting Person’s belief that such Shares, when purchased, represented an attractive investment opportunity.

Depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategy, actions taken by the Board of Directors and Management of the Issuer, the price levels of the Issuer’s securities, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, and other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, the Reporting Person may, in the future take such actions with respect to his investment in the Issuer as he deems appropriate including, but not limited to, engaging in communication with management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer, as well as other shareholders and other interested parties, concerning matters that the Reporting Person deems relevant to his investment in the Issuer, making proposals to the Issuer designed to maximize shareholder value, purchasing additional securities of the Issuer, or disposing of securities of the Issuer held by the Reporting Person, in the open market or otherwise.
