In connection with the Transaction Agreement, Independence, John C. Goff and certain other stockholders affiliated with, or controlled by, John C. Goff entered into a voting agreement (the Voting Agreement) pursuant to which, among other things, John C.

The foregoing summaries of the Transaction Agreement and the Voting Agreement have been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the Transaction Agreement and the Voting Agreement are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Issuer, the Reporting Persons or their respective subsidiaries and affiliates. The Transaction Agreement and the Voting Agreement contain representations and warranties by each of the parties to each of the Transaction Agreement and the Voting Agreement, which were made only for purposes of the Transaction Agreement and Voting Agreement, respectively and as of dates specified therein. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Transaction Agreement and the Voting Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Transaction Agreement and the Voting Agreement; may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk among the parties to the Transaction Agreement and the Voting Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts; and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.
