Under the Agreement, the Reporting Persons have agreed to vote all their shares of Common Stock in favor of all of the Board’s director nominees at the 2015 annual meeting of shareholders, which will include Mr. Swenson, the additional director expected to be elected as noted above, and five other nominees, and abide by certain standstill provisions during Mr. Swenson’s time of service on the Board.  The standstill provisions and other restrictions on the Reporting Persons generally terminate on the date Mr. Swenson ceases to be a member of the Board, provided that the restrictions will not terminate prior to the earlier of (i) October 1, 2015; (ii) that date that is sixty days prior to the date by which Air T or the Groveland Fund, or their respective affiliates, are required to file a notice of an intent to nominate an individual to the Board for the Issuer’s 2016 annual meeting of shareholders; or (iii) the date on which the Board determines that it will not approve the additional director proposed by Air T.

During the period for which the restrictions apply, the Reporting Persons are restricted, subject to certain limited exceptions, from activities with respect to: (i) influence or control of the Issuer’s management or obtaining Board representation (other than in the capacity as a director of the Issuer), engaging in activities in opposition to Board recommendations or submitting any proposal or director nomination to the Issuer’s shareholders, or soliciting, encouraging or in any way participating in the solicitation of any proxies with respect to any voting securities of the Issuer; (ii) participation in any “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, other than as set forth herein, or any group deemed to arise from the Agreement; and (iii) public disparagement of any member of the Issuer’s Board or management.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement.

The Reporting Persons may make further purchases of shares of Common Stock (including through a 10b5-1 plan). The Reporting Persons may dispose of any or all the shares of Common Stock held by them.
