(1)	This transaction involved a gift of securities by the reporting person to his spouse. 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 any other purpose.
(2)	The reporting person gifted 3,750 shares of issuer common stock to an LLC that he controls (the "LLC") by contributing 3,713 shares directly to the LLC and contributing 37 shares to a trust which in turn contributed such shares to the LLC. The reporting person has investment and voting control over all issuer securities held by the trust and the LLC and the reporting person's family members are the beneficiaries of the trust. The reporting person then contributed his membership interest in the LLC to the trust in exchange for assets of equivalent value.
