Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
   
  The Reporting Person believes the securities of the Issuer are undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity.  The Reporting Person may consider, explore and/or develop plans and/or make proposals (whether preliminary or firm) with respect to, among other things, potential changes in, the Issuer’s operations, management, organizational documents, the composition of the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), ownership, capital or corporate structure, dividend policy, and strategy and plans of the Issuer, as well as a potential strategic review or sale process involving the Issuer or certain of the Issuer’s businesses or assets, including transactions in which the Reporting Person may seek to participate and potentially engage in.  The Reporting Person intends to communicate with the Issuer’s management and Board about a broad range of operational and strategic matters (including the matters set forth above) and to communicate with other shareholders or third parties, including potential acquirers, service providers and financing sources regarding the foregoing.  The Reporting Person may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements which may include customary standstill provisions.  He may also take steps to explore and prepare for various plans and actions, and propose transactions, before forming an intention to engage in such plans or actions or proceed with such transactions.
   
  The Reporting Person intends to review its investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and depending upon various factors, including without limitation, the Issuer’s financial position and strategic direction, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, overall market conditions, other available investment opportunities, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Person may endeavor (i) to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Class A Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, derivative securities or other instruments that are convertible into Class A Common Stock, or are based upon or relate to the value of the Class A Common Stock or the Issuer (collectively, the “Securities”) on the open market or in private transactions, including through a trading plan created under Rule 10b5-1(c) or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Person may deem advisable and/or (ii) to enter into transactions that increase or hedge its economic exposure to the Class A Common Stock or other Securities without affecting their beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock or other Securities.  In addition, the Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, (i) review or reconsider its position and/or change its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto and (ii) propose or consider one or more of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
