Moshayedi Revocable Trust, dated 9/25/98, and each of the Reporting Persons (collectively, the “Shareholders”) have a non-binding understanding that at any shareholders meeting of SimpleTech, Inc. (the “Issuer”) where action is to be taken with respect to the election of directors, each Shareholder agrees to cause the shares of the Issuer’s common stock such Shareholder beneficially owns to be voted in favor of the election of Manouch Moshayedi, Mike Moshayedi and Mark Moshayedi as directors of the Issuer. Manouch Moshayedi, Mike Moshayedi and Mark Moshayedi are family members and each currently serves as executive officers and directors of the Issuer. Based on the non-binding understanding described above, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Act. As the Shareholders collectively own or control approximately 58.0%* of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2004, the Issuer is considered a “controlled company” within the meaning of NASDAQ Rule 4350(c)(5). None of the Reporting Persons have the power to vote, to direct the voting of, to dispose, or to direct the disposition of the shares of common stock beneficially owned or controlled by the other Shareholders and each of the Reporting Persons hereby disclaims beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act of the shares of common stock beneficially held or controlled by the other Shareholders. | ||||||||||

A person is deemed as of any date to have “beneficial ownership” of any security that such person has a right to acquire within 60 days after such date. For purposes of calculating the ownership percentage of the Reporting Persons, any securities that any person other than such Reporting Person has the right to acquire within 60 days of such date are not deemed to be outstanding. |
