SRS Investment Management, LP ("SRS IM"), a Delaware limited partnership, is the managing member of the Investment Manager. SRS Investment Management GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("SRS IM GP"), is the general partner of SRS IM. Karthik R. Sarma, an Indian citizen ("Mr. Sarma," and together with SRS, the "Reporting Persons") is the managing member and principal of SRS IM GP. In such capacities, Mr. Sarma and the Investment Manager may be deemed to have voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Common Stock held for the Funds.
(2)  The filing of this statement shall not be deemed an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is the beneficial owner of the securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise. Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein.
(3)  These cash-settled equity swaps can be settled at any time before the expiration date.
(4)  The options may be settled in cash or in cash-settled equity swaps.
