The Sit Entities have acquired the Issuer's Shares for investment purposes,
and such purchases have been made in the ordinary course of business. The
Issuer's Shares have been acquired on behalf of SIA's and SFI's clients.
In pursuing such investment purposes, the Sit Entities purchased the Shares
based on the Sit Entities' belief that the Shares represented an attractive
investment opportunity, and the Sit Entities may further purchase, hold,
vote, trade, sell or otherwise deal in the Shares at the time, and in such
manner, as they deem advisable to benefit from, among many things, changes in
market prices of such Shares, the market prices of such Shares relative to
the value of the Issuer's assets, changes in the Issuer's investment
strategy, and composition of the Issuer's portfolio.
None of Sit Entities have any present plan or proposal which would relate to
or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item
4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or
in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed
herein.
The Sit Entities intend to review their investment in the Issuer's Shares on
a continuing basis and may from time to time engage in discussion with
management, the Board of Directors and shareholders concerning, among other
things, the Issuer's performance, the market prices of the Issuer's Shares
relative to the value of the Issuer's assets, the distribution rate, and the
Issuer's investment strategy and the Issuer's portfolio holdings.

beneficial owner of 1,309,408 Shares held in client accounts which
represent 7.29% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares. Each of the Sit
Entities may be deemed to have shared power to vote and dispose of such
Shares. However, none of SIA's or SFI's directors or executive officers
own Shares directly.
d) Transactions in Shares by the Sit Entities in the last 60 days are set
forth in Exhibit A.
