Master Fund, MSD PCOF Partners and MSD Private Credit Opportunity Fund are the record and direct beneficial owners of the securities reported herein. MSD Partners is the investment manager of each of Master Fund, MSD PCOF Partners and MSD Private Credit Opportunity Fund and may be deemed to beneficially own securities owned by Master Fund, MSD PCOF Partners and MSD Private Credit Opportunity Fund. [Cont'd]

2. [Continuation] MSD Partners (GP), LLC ("MSD GP") is the general partner of MSD Partners and may be deemed to beneficially own securities owned by MSD Partners. Gregg R.

Christopher Gleysteen, who is a Managing Director of MSD Partners, was appointed to the Issuer's board of directors.

3. Each Reporting Person and Messr. Lemkau declares that neither the filing of this statement nor anything herein shall be construed as an admission that such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any other purpose, a member of a group with respect to the issuer or securities of the issuer.

5.

6. [Continuation] the Issuer will deliver Pre-Funded Warrants in respect of any equal number of shares of common stock. Such Pre-Funded Warrants will contain substantially similar Restricted Ownership Percentage terms. Any Pre-Funded Warrants issued in lieu of shares of common stock in connection with a conversion of Notes prior to the Issuer's shareholder approval would also not be exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Notes had an initial payment-in-kind, or "PIK," interest rate of SOFR plus 14.0% through September 30, 2022. The PIK interest rate decreased to SOFR plus 9.5% as of September 30, 2022. The Notes also have a cash interest rate of SOFR plus 12.5%.
