        <footnote id="F1">Following the sale reported herein, the reporting person entered into cash-settled equity swap transactions (the &quot;Equity Swaps&quot;) covering a total of 1,945,500 shares of CITP common stock with reference prices ranging from $8.59 to $8.65.  The Equity Swaps give the reporting person long economic exposure to such shares:  profit to the reporting person will be based on any increase in value of the common stock and loss to the reporting person will be based on any decrease in the value of the common stock over the term of the transactions.  The Equity Swaps may only be settled in cash and do not give the reporting person direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any shares of the common stock and do not require the counterparty thereto to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Issuer. With respect to the Equity Swaps, the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership over any shares of the common stock.</footnote>

        <footnote id="F3">This filing shall not be deemed an admission that Amalgamated is the beneficial owner of such shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the &quot;Act&quot;). Scepter Holdings, Inc. (&quot;Scepter&quot;) is the general partner of Amalgamated, which is the holder of the shares reported herein. Geoffrey P.
