(1) This statement is being filed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group"), Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs") and GSUIG, L.L.C. ("GSUIG", and together with GS Group and Goldman Sachs, the "Reporting Persons"). Goldman Sachs is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GS Group. GS Group is the sole member of GSUIG and Goldman Sachs serves as the investment manager for GSUIG.

As of August 9, 2012, Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly 812,175 shares of Common Stock by reason of the direct beneficial ownership of such shares by GSUIG.
