(the "Issuer") held by the Contributing Parties to Cyrus Holdings and received membership interests or warrants to purchase membership interests, as applicable, in Cyrus Holdings. Stephen C. Freidheim may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities of the Issuer directly held by Cyrus Holdings because Mr. Freidheim may be deemed to have voting and investment power over such securities as the sole member of Cyrus Capital Partners GP, L.L.C.

Cyrus Capital GP is the general partner of Cyrus Capital Partners and Cyrus Capital Partners is the managing member of Cyrus Holdings.

(4)	Each of the Contributing Parties and Mr. Freidheim previously reported the securities reported on this Form 4, and the contribution or transfer of securities only resulted in a change in form of beneficial ownership.
Â Remarks: StephenÂ C.Â FreidheimÂ servesÂ onÂ theÂ BoardÂ ofÂ DirectorsÂ ofÂ VirginÂ AmericaÂ Inc.Â (theÂ "Issuer").Â Â ForÂ purposesÂ ofÂ SectionÂ 16Â ofÂ theÂ SecuritiesÂ ExchangeÂ ActÂ ofÂ 1934,Â asÂ amended,Â theÂ reportingÂ personÂ isÂ deemedÂ aÂ directorÂ byÂ deputizationÂ byÂ virtueÂ ofÂ itsÂ representationÂ onÂ theÂ BoardÂ ofÂ DirectorsÂ ofÂ theÂ Issuer.
