VG Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) is the record holder of the Reported Shares.  Each of Equity Fund III, HM3 Coinvestors, Equity Fund IV, Private Equity Fund IV, HM 4-P, EQ Coinvestors, and PG-IV (collectively the “HM Members”) are parties to that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement of Holdings, dated as of February 11, 2010 (the “LLC Agreement”), among the HM Members, TCW Shared Opportunities Fund III, L.P., and GSC Recovery II, L.P. and certain of its affiliates, pursuant to which such persons (each an “Investor Party”) have agreed to, among other things, designate up to five (5) nominees for election to the board of directors of the Issuer and to cause Holdings to vote the Reported Shares in favor of such nominees.  In addition, the Investor Parties have agreed that (i) the Reported Shares may not be sold or otherwise disposed of prior to a specified date without the unanimous approval of the board of managers of Holdings, and (ii) under certain circumstances, to cause Holdings to vote the Reported Shares in favor of certain business combination transactions involving the Issuer.  As a result, the Investor Parties may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and each Investor Party may be deemed to beneficially own Reported Shares that may be beneficially owned by other Investor Parties.  The filing of this Schedule 13G shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons and/or the Investor Parties are a group, or have agreed to act as a group, and each of the HM Members hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of any Reported Shares that may be beneficially owned by any other Investor Party (including any other HM Member), except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.

HM3 is the sole general partner of Equity Fund III.  GP Partners III is the sole general partner of HM3.  Fund III Incorporated is the sole general partner of GP Partners III.  As a result, each of HM3, GP Partners III and Fund III Incorporated may be deemed to beneficially own any Reported Shares beneficially owned by Equity
 
 
 
22
 
 
 
Fund III, and each of HM3, GP Partners III and Fund III Incorporated disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.

GP Partners III is the sole general partner of HM3 Coinvestors.  Fund III Incorporated is the sole general partner of GP Partners III.  As a result, each of GP Partners III and Fund III Incorporated may be deemed to beneficially own any Reported Shares beneficially owned by HM3 Coinvestors, and each of GP Partners III and Fund III Incorporated disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.

HM4 is the sole general partner of each of Equity Fund IV and Private Equity Fund IV.  GP Partners IV is the sole general partner of HM4.  Fund IV LLC is the sole general partner of GP Partners IV.  As a result, each of HM4, GP Partners IV and Fund IV LLC may be deemed to beneficially own any Reported Shares beneficially owned by either Equity Fund IV or Private Equity Fund IV, and each of HM4, GP Partners IV and Fund IV LLC disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.

On December 31, 2012, in preparation for its dissolution and termination and in accordance with the LLC Agreement, HM 4-SBS (1999) Coinvestors, L.P. (“SBS Coinvestors”) distributed its membership interest in Holdings to 4-P Coinvestors, its remaining limited partner, who executed a joinder agreement and became a member of Holdings and bound by the LLC Agreement.  GP Partners IV is the sole general partner of each of HM 4-P and EQ Coinvestors.  Fund IV LLC is the sole general partner of GP Partners IV.  As a result, each of GP Partners IV and Fund IV LLC may be deemed to beneficially own any Reported Shares beneficially owned by either HM 4-P or EQ Coinvestors, and each of GP Partners IV and Fund IV LLC disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.

HM IV CV is the sole general partner of PG-IV.  Partners IV Cayman is the sole general partner of HM IV CV.  Fund IV Cayman (collectively with Fund III Incorporated and Fund IV LLC, the “General Partners”) is the sole general partner of Partners IV Cayman.  As a result, each of HM IV CV, Partners IV Cayman and Fund IV Cayman may be deemed to beneficially own any Reported Shares beneficially owned by PG-IV, and each of HM IV CV, Partners IV Cayman and Fund IV Cayman disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.

Mr. Herring was designated by the HM Members to serve, and currently serves, as one of the two members of the Board of Managers of Holdings.  As a result, Mr. Herring may be deemed to beneficially own all of the Reported Shares held by Holdings.  Mr. Herring disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

Previously, the committee that exercises voting and dispositive power over the shares beneficially owned by each of the General Partners consisted of three individuals, no single member of which had dispositive and/or voting power over the shares of the Reported Shares.  As a result of such committee currently consisting of two members (Mr. Muse and Mr. Rosen), Messrs. Muse and Rosen may be deemed to share beneficial ownership with respect to all or a portion of the Reported Shares beneficially owned by the General Partners.  Each of Messrs. Muse and Rosen disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.
