Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
The Reporting Persons have purchased additional Class A Units. The Reporting Persons may make
additional purchases of Class A Units or other securities of the Issuer, either in the open market
or in private transactions, depending on their evaluation of the Issuers business, prospects and
financial condition, the market for the Class A Units or other securities, other opportunities
available to them, general economic conditions, money and stock market conditions, and other future
developments. Depending on these same factors, the Reporting
Persons may decide to sell all or part of their investment in the Issuers Class A Units. Although
all purchases of Class A Units have been made for investment, at some future time the Reporting
Persons may decide that it is desirable to seek control or influence the management and policies of
the Issuers board of directors, by seeking a position as an officer of the Issuer, by contractual
arrangement with the Issuer or by other means. At the present time, none of the Reporting Persons
has made any decision to seek a board seat or seek control or influence over the management of
policies of the Issuer.

or would result in:
(a) The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition
of securities of the Issuer;
(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;
(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its
subsidiaries;
(d) Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any
plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on
the board;
(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;
(f) any other material change in the Issuers business or corporate structure;
(g) Changes in the Issuers charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by
any person;
(h) Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities
exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a
registered national securities association;

registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or
