(3)	Goldman Sachs had net open short positions of 40,486 shares of Common Stock as of October 11, 2010.
(4)	Except for the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned directly by Goldman Sachs which may be deemed indirectly beneficially owned by GS Group, the Reporting Persons beneficially own no securities of the Company. On July 15, 2010, ProSight Specialty Insurance Holdings, Inc. and PSI Merger Sub Inc., each affiliates of GS Group, entered into a Shareholders Agreement with each of Mark W. Blackman, Paul J.
