Explanation of Responses:

1. The shares of common stock were disposed pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 5, 2007, as amended, among Universal Compression Holdings, Inc. (?Universal?), Iliad Holdings, Inc. (now known as Exterran Holdings, Inc. (?Exterran?)), Ulysses Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Exterran, Hector Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Exterran, and Hanover Compressor Company (?Hanover?) (the ?Merger Agreement?). As a result of the mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Universal and Hanover became wholly owned subsidiaries of Exterran and the reporting person has the right to receive 0.325 shares of Exterran common stock for each share of Hanover common stock and the right to receive cash for any fractional share the reporting person otherwise would receive pursuant to the mergers.

2. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding and unvested stock option of the reporting person granted under the Hanover equity incentive plans became fully vested and any outstanding Hanover stock option will convert to an option to acquire Exterran common stock, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under that Hanover stock option, at an exchange rate of 0.325 to 1 (rounded to the nearest whole share) and at a price per share equal to the price per share under the Hanover option divided by 0.325 (rounded down to nearest whole cent).
