Mr. Craft disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities.

Mr. Craft is the sole director of AMH III and owns 42.43% of the membership interests in AMH III. Mr. Craft disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interests therein.
F5The units involved are subject to a Transfer Restrictions Agreement that may cause the holders to comprise a group under Exchange Act Rule 13d-5(b).
