By virtue of (i) the ability of Stable and Best under the Operating Agreement of BRH III to appoint and remove the members of the board of directors of BRH III and (ii) the ability of the board of directors of BRH III, which owns more than 14% of the aggregate ownership interests held by all Tier One Parallel Investment Vehicles, to direct BAM Canada on behalf of BRH III to veto any action requiring a hyper-majority vote under the Voting Agreement (including voting decisions and material dispositions of Common Stock by the Investment Vehicles), Stable and Best may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held by each of the Investment Vehicles with the Other Filers (as defined below). By virtue of CIC being the parent of CIC International, which is the parent of both Stable and Best, CIC may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held by each of the Investment Vehicles.

None of the Investment Vehicles or the Other Filers is a Reporting Person on this Schedule 13D, and any obligations any of them may have under Section 13(d) of the Act would have to be satisfied on one or more separate filings. Each Reporting Person expressly disclaims, to the extent permitted by applicable law, beneficial ownership of the shares reported herein as well as any other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Other Filers.
