It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Reporting Persons, the Issuer or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Transaction Agreement were made only for purposes of the Transaction Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Transaction Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Transaction Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.
