(1)	These shares represent restricted stock that was granted under the Issuer's 2010 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan to Jeffrey A. Goldstein and Allen R. Thorpe. This restricted stock shall be fully vested on the second anniversary of the applicable grant date. As previously reported, Messrs. Goldstein and Thorpe held these shares for the benefit of Hellman & Friedman Capital Partners V, L.P. ("HFCP V") and Hellman & Friedman Capital Partners V (Parallel), L.P. ("HFCP V Parallel" and, together with HFCP V, the "H&F Funds") and disclaimed beneficial ownership of such shares. These shares have been transferred to Hellman & Friedman LP ("H&F LP"). Hellman & Friedman LLC ("H&F LLC"), a director by deputization of the Issuer, is the sole general partner of H&F LP and has previously reported beneficial ownership of these shares. The proceeds of any disposition of these shares will be applied against management fees payable pursuant to the applicable partnership agreement of the H&F Funds.

("Investors V" and, together with H&F LLC, HFCP V, HFCP V Parallel and H&F LP, the "H&F Entities") is the sole general partner of each of HFCP V and HFCP V Parallel. H&F LLC is the sole general partner of each of Investors V and H&F LP. As the sole general partner of HFCP V and HFCP V Parallel, Investors V may be deemed to beneficially own shares of common stock beneficially owned by HFCP V and HFCP V Parallel. As the sole general partner of Investors V and H&F LP, H&F LLC may be deemed to beneficially own shares of common stock beneficially owned by Investors V and H&F LP.
