ITEM 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer
There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships
in place among any of the Reporting Persons with respect to the Securities of
the Issuer. The General Partner serves as the General Partner to both Endowment
and Long Drive. The Manager serves as the investment manager to both Endowment
and Long Drive. Each of the General Partner and the Manager are subject to the
overall control of Philip Timon, as managing member of the General Partner and
managing member of the general partner of the Manager, and thus could be deemed
to share the power to vote and dispose or direct the disposition of such Shares.
Thus, the Reporting Persons could be deemed a "group" pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)
of Regulation 13D-G; however, the Reporting Persons neither admit nor deny that
any such group exists. Nothing in this Schedule 13D shall be deemed an admission
by any of the Reporting Persons that such person is a "beneficial owner" of the
securities covered by this Schedule 13D.
