The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares that are the subject of the Swap Agreements.


1 The reference price reported for these swaps is a weighted average price. These swaps were entered into at reference prices ranging from $12.25 to $15.39 per Share. The Reporting Persons undertake to provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer or the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of notional shares at each separate reference price for each swap within the range set forth in this footnote 1.
