("Reservoir") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which the Merger Sub merged with and into Reservoir, with Reservoir surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and the securityholders of Reservoir becoming securityholders of the Company (the "Business Combination") on the Closing Date.

Investment Purpose

The purpose of the acquisition of the Shares is for investment, and the acquisition of the Shares by the Fund was made in the ordinary course of business and was not made for the purpose of acquiring control of the Company.

Although no Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire, transfer or dispose of Shares or other securities of the Company, consistent with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Shares or other securities or transfer or dispose of any or all of its Shares or other securities depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Shares or other securities (as applicable), prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Person and/or other investment considerations. No Reporting Person has made a determination regarding a maximum or minimum number of Shares or other securities which it may hold at any point in time.

Also, consistent with their investment intent, certain Reporting Persons may engage in communications with, without limitation, one or more shareholders of the Company, one or more officers of the Company, one or more members of the Board of Directors of the Company or other persons regarding the Company, including but not limited to its operations.

Except to the extent the foregoing may be deemed a plan or proposal, none of the Reporting Persons has any plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

The descriptions of the foregoing agreements relating to the Business Combination are based solely on the information presented by the Company in the Proxy and the Reporting Persons disclaim any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information.

Each of the Managers, as a manager of the Fund, the EEH Manager, as a manager of the RHI Manager, and each of the Individual Reporting Persons, as a manager of the General Partner or the EEH Manager, as applicable, may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of all such Shares beneficially owned by the Fund. Each Reporting Person (other than the Fund) expressly declares that this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that such Reporting Person is, for the purposes of sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D.

If the Reporting Persons were deemed to be members of a "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act, the group would be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 13,592,793 Shares, or approximately 21.2% of the outstanding Shares.
