Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), HFCP IV may be deemed to beneficially own (i)(a) 3,335,574 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Notes held by HFCP IV and (b) 521,184 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants held by HFCP IV; (ii)(a) 13,342,297 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Notes held by HFCP IV and (b) 2,219,547 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Warrants held by HFCP IV; and (iii) 403,050 shares of Common Stock. HFCP IV has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to these securities. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by HFCP IV, including the Shared Securities, is 19,824,750 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 14.5% of the Common Stock outstanding.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, HFEF IV may be deemed to beneficially own (i)(a) 74,188 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Notes held by HFEF IV and (b) 11,592 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants held by HFEF IV; (ii)(a) 296,752 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Notes held by HFEF IV and (b) 49,366 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Warrants held by HFEF IV; and (iii) 8,950 shares of Common Stock. HFEF IV has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to these securities. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by HFEF IV, including the Shared Securities, is 443,946 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 0.3% of the Common Stock outstanding.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, HFIP IV-A may be deemed to beneficially own (i)(a) 547,551 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Notes held by HFIP IV-A and (b) 85,555 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants held by HFIP IV-A; (ii)(a) 2,190,203 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Notes held by HFIP IV-A and (b) 364,349 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Warrants held by HFIP IV-A; and (iii) 66,150 shares of Common Stock. HFIP IV-A has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to these securities. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by HFIP IV-A, including the Shared Securities, is 3,256,906 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 2.4% of the Common Stock outstanding.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, HFIP IV-B may be deemed to beneficially own (i)(a) 180,617 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Notes held by HFIP IV-B and (b) 28,221 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A Warrants held by HFIP IV-B; (ii)(a) 722,468 shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Notes held by HFIP IV-B and (b) 120,186

shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Warrants held by HFIP IV-B; and (iii) 21,850 shares of Common Stock. HFIP IV-B has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to these securities. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by HFIP IV-B, including the Shared Securities, is 1,076,440 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 0.8% of the Common Stock outstanding.

As the general partner of each of the H&F Partnerships, H&F Investors may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock over which any of the H&F Partnerships has voting or dispositive power.  Accordingly, H&F Investors may be deemed to have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to, and beneficially own, an aggregate of 24,592,748 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 18.0% of the Common Stock outstanding.

The investment decisions of H&F Investors are made by a five member investment committee of H&F Investors.  The investment committee has the power to vote or to direct the vote of, and to dispose or to direct the disposition of, the shares of Issuer Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by H&F Investors.  As a result, each of the members of the investment committee may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock that H&F Investors may be deemed to beneficially own.  Each of the members of the investment committee, disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock that H&F Investors may be deemed to beneficially own, except to the extent of his or her indirect pecuniary interest, if any, therein.

As the result of the treatment of the H&F Partnerships under the Amended Securityholders Agreement and the existence of a common general partner among the H&F Partnerships, the H&F Partnerships may be deemed to constitute a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(5) of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act.  As such, each of the H&F Partnerships (i) may be deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, of all the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by H&F Investors and (ii) may be deemed to beneficially own, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, an aggregate of 24,592,748 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 18.0% of the Common Stock outstanding.  However, each of the H&F Partnerships disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the other H&F Partnerships, except to the extent set forth in this Item 5, above.

(c)  Each of the Reporting Persons reports that neither it, nor to its knowledge, any person named in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D, has effected any transaction in Common Stock during the past 60 days, except as disclosed herein.

(d)  Except as otherwise described in Item 2 and this Item 5, no one other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as described in Item 5.

(e)  Not applicable.
