<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt">The materials on this website contain forward-looking statements.
All statements contained herein that are not clearly historical in nature or that necessarily depend on future events are forward-looking,
and the words &ldquo;anticipate,&rdquo; &ldquo;believe,&rdquo; &ldquo;expect,&rdquo; &ldquo;potential,&rdquo; &ldquo;opportunity,&rdquo;

The projected results and statements contained herein that are not historical facts are based on current expectations, speak only
as of the date of these materials and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance
or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such projected
results and statements. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic,
competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately
and many of which are beyond the control of Ms. Waite. Although Ms. Waite believes that the assumptions underlying the projected
results or forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date of these materials, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate
and therefore, there can be no assurance that the projected results or forward-looking statements included herein will prove to

herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation as to future results or that the objectives
and strategic initiatives expressed or implied by such projected results and forward-looking statements will be achieved. Ms. Waite
