Given the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Reporting Persons, together with the Management Stockholders, may be deemed to constitute a “group” that for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act that, as of the date hereof, collectively beneficially owns approximately 48,064,198 shares, or approximately 68.4%, of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock other than the shares directly held by such Reporting Person.
