        <footnote id="F1">On August 18, 2008, Thomas H. Lee Equity Fund IV, L.P. (&quot;Equity&quot;), Thomas H. Lee Foreign Fund IV, L.P. (&quot;Foreign&quot;) and Thomas H. Lee Foreign Fund IV-B, L.P. (&quot;Foreign B&quot; and together with Equity and Foreign, the &quot;Funds&quot;) issued a pro rata distribution of, in the aggregate, 11,990,683 shares of common stock of the Issuer to their respective general and limited partners for no additional consideration.  The reporting person is the general partner of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., which is the Managing Member of Advisors, which, in turn, is the general partner of each of the Funds.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Not applicable.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Represents shares held by THL Equity Advisors IV, LLC (&quot;Advisors&quot;).  This share amount reflects a decrease from previously reported share numbers of 27,114 restricted shares indirectly held by the reporting person which were cancelled pursuant to a transaction exempt from reporting on Form 4.  Such cancellation was effected as a result of the resignation of certain affiliates of the reporting person from the Board of Directors of the Issuer, which resignation resulted in the automatic cancellation of the restricted shares pursuant to the restricted stock agreements governing such shares.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">The reporting person is the general partner of Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., which is the Managing Member of Advisors.  As such, the reporting person may be deemed to beneficially own shares of the Issuer owned directly by Advisors.  The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of the securities for the purpose of Section 16 or for any other purpose, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">Pursuant to the distribution described in footnote (1) above, Advisors acquired 25,388 shares for no additional consideration.</footnote>
