As a result, each of BSP and Mr. Gahan may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by the BSP Funds. Each reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of the securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.</footnote>
