5. Represents shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a trust. The Reporting Person is a trustee and the Reporting Person's immediate family members are beneficiaries of such trust.
Remarks:
Indirect ownership of shares held by the Berkshire Entities and SP is included because the Reporting Person is a managing member of SP and of BPH, BPSP, BP, SP, 8BA, 9BA, SA, Investors III and Investors IV (see footnotes 1 and 2). As such, the Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of the Issuer's stock held by the Berkshire Entities and SP. However, the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, expect to the extent, if any, of his pecuniary interest therein, and inclusion of the shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of the securities for purposes of Section 16 or any other purpose.
