The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by his daughter, and this report should not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of his daughter's shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

(2) The reported shares are held through single-member LLCs, of which a revocable trust with the Reporting Person as the sole trustee and beneficiary is the sole member.

(3) The Reporting Person is the trustee of the Mitchell P. Rales Family Trust.

(4) The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by his spouse, and this report should not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of his spouse's shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
