One of the Lending Trusts is for the benefit of Ms. Washlow (referred to as &#147;Lending Trust A&#148;), another is for the benefit of Dr. Port (referred to as &#147;Lending Trust B&#148;), the third is for the benefit of one of their nieces (referred to as &#147;Lending Trust C&#148;) and the fourth is for the benefit of another of their nieces (referred to as &#147;Lending Trust D&#148;).  Under the applicable governing documents, the 1970 Trust pledged as collateral 381,667 shares of Common Stock to Lending Trust A, 381,667 shares of Common Stock to Lending Trust B, 190,833 shares of Common Stock to Lending Trust C and 190,833 shares of Common Stock to Lending Trust D.

Upon the occurrence of specified triggering events, one of which has occurred, the trustee of the four Lending Trusts, who is an individual not related to Dr. Port or Ms. Washlow by blood or marriage, has the right to dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock pledged as collateral.  Whether the trustee will exercise this right to dispose of some or all of the pledged shares of Common Stock is in the sole discretion of the trustee, subject to the terms of the applicable governing documents.</font></p>
