Sandler ("Mr. Sandler") has investment discretion (the "Family Accounts"). Eminence Capital may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of such securities by virtue of its position as the investment manager to the Eminence Funds and the investment adviser to the SMA. In addition, Eminence GP, LLC ("Eminence GP") may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of such securities held by the Partnerships and the Master Funds by virtue of its position as the general partner or manager of the Partnerships and the Master Funds, as applicable.
(3)	(Continued from Footnote 2) Mr. Sandler may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of such shares held by the Eminence Funds, the SMA and the Family Accounts by virtue of his direct and indirect control of Eminence Capital, Eminence GP and the Family Accounts. For purposes of Rule 16a-1(a)(2) of the 1934 Act, each of the reporting persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares reported herein to the extent such beneficial ownership exceeds its pecuniary interest therein.
