Accordingly, each of GFW IX, GFW Energy, NGP IX, NGP Offshore and Production Opportunities may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over the reported securities of Holdco, and as a result may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities of Holdco. GFW IX has delegated full power and authority to manage NGP IX and NGP Offshore to NGP ECM and accordingly, NGP ECM may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over the reported securities of Holdco, and as result may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities of Holdco. Each of GFW IX, GFW Energy, NGP IX, NGP Offshore, Production Opportunities and NGP ECM disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported securities in excess of their pecuniary interests therein.
