Warburg Pincus LLC, a New York limited liability company ("WP LLC"), is the manager of the WP X Funds and WP X O&G. Charles R. Kaye and Joseph P. Landy are each Managing General Partners of WP and Managing Members and Co-Chief Executive Officers of WP LLC and may be deemed to control the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons (as defined below). Messrs. Kaye and Landy disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares held by the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons. Each of Messrs. Kaye and Landy, together with the WP X Funds, WP X O&G, WP X GP, WP X GP LP, WPP GP, WP Partners, WP Partners GP, WP and WP LLC are collectively referred to herein as the "Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons".
(5)	By reason of the provisions of Rule 16a-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons and certain affiliates may be deemed to be beneficial owners of 13,235,876 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held collectively by the WP X Funds and 33,367,991 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by WP X O&G.
