| (3) | In Footnotes 5 and 6 to Table II of a Form 4 filed by CF Group Management, Inc. ("CFGM") on December 8, 2009 (the "December 2009 Form 4"), CFGM reported that CFLP assumed that CFLP used 22,981,340 Interests to satisfy all of CFLP's distribution rights share obligations to certain current and former partners of CFLP that CFLP provided to them on April 1, 2008, and that it therefore has 44,227,344 Interests remaining. |

(continued to footnote 5) |
| (5) | As of the date of this report, CFLP remains obligated to distribute an aggregate of 22,769,969 shares of Class A Common Stock to certain current and former partners of CFLP pursuant to the distribution schedule established on April 1, 2008, as modified by the election of certain partners to defer receipt of their distribution rights shares. |

CFGM disclaims beneficial ownership of all such shares in excess of its pecuniary interest, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that CFGM is the beneficial owner of, or has pecuniary interest in, any such excess shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for any other purpose. |
