        <footnote id="F3">This filing is an amendment to the Form 4 filed on March 31, 2015 (the &quot;Original Filing&quot;), and corrects the Amount of Securities Beneficially Owned Following Reported Transaction(s) and removes a footnote thereto previously reported in Table I, Line 1, Column 5 of the Original Filing. No other amendments are made to the Original Filing.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Prior to March 23, 2015, Mr. Richard Slifka, Mr. Eric Slifka and the Estate of Mr. Alfred Slifka shared voting and investment power with respect to Common Units owned by AEHC and, therefore, were deemed to beneficially own the Common Units held by AEHC. On March 23, 2015, when the Common Units then held by AEHC were distributed to AEHC's stockholders pursuant to the Plan of Liquidation, Mr. Richard Slifka, Mr. Eric Slifka and the Estate of Alfred Slifka ceased to exercise share voting and investment power over Common Units owned by AEHC.</footnote>
