Consistent therewith, the Reporting Persons may, subject to applicable law and the terms of any confidentiality agreement with the Issuer, continue to engage in communications regarding such matters with members of management and the Board of Directors of the Issuer, and initiate such communications with other current or prospective shareholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit and other investors.
