As a result, Capital II, Capital International and International GP may be deemed to control Holdings and Fox Paine Capital Co-Investors International GP, Ltd., Capital International and International GP may be deemed to control the Co-Investment Funds.  In addition, pursuant to a management agreement with International GP
and Capital II, Fox Paine &amp; Company LLC (&quot;Fox Paine&quot;) acts as the investment advisor for Capital II and other investors in Holdings and, consequently, may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by Holdings.  International GP, as the general partner of Capital International, may terminate that management agreement at any time in its sole discretion.</footnote>
