( 2 )These transactions in the Issuer's common stock (the "Common Stock") have not previously been reported on Form 4 and were effected by Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC ("Goldman Sachs") acting as agent on behalf of certain international affiliates that had entered into riskless principal trades in connection with client trade facilitation in the ordinary course of their business.

("Bridge Street"). GS Group, Goldman Sachs, BSPI, the GS Funds and Bridge Street are defined collectively as the "Reporting Persons".
( 4 )Bridge Street is the sole general partner of each of the GS Funds and may be deemed to beneficially own shares of Common Stock by reason of direct beneficial ownership of such shares by the GS Funds.
( 5 )Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly shares of Common Stock by reason of direct beneficial ownership of such shares by the GS Funds and BSPI. Bridge Street, the sole general partner of each of the GS Funds, is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GS Group. Goldman Sachs is the manager of BSPI and Bridge Street, and the investment manager of each of the GS Funds. Goldman Sachs is a direct subsidiary of GS Group.
( 6 )Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that any such Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of, or has any pecuniary interest in, such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose.
( 7 )The Reporting Persons are currently analyzing additional trading activity in the Issuer's equity securities and, if necessary, will file another Form 4 as promptly as reasonably practicable once that analysis is complete.
( 8 )The Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") is convertible into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.
