Explanation of Responses:
1. Reflects a pro rata distribution of shares of common stock of the issuer by PCA Holdings LLC ("Holdings"), the record and direct beneficial owner of the shares, to its two members, Madison Dearborn Capital Partners III, L.P. ("MDCP III") and a fund affiliated with MDCP III (collectively, the "Funds") on July 23, 2007, which shares were further distributed pro rata (i) by the Funds to their respective general and limited partners on that date, including Madison Dearborn Partners III, L.P. ("MDP III"), the sole general partner of MDCP III and the fund affiliated with MDCP III, and (ii) by MDP III to its partners on that date.
2. Holdings is the record and direct beneficial owner of 1,773,010 shares. The shares held by Holdings may be deemed to be beneficially owned by MDCP III, the managing member of Holdings, and a fund affiliated with MDCP III. In addition, securities over which MDCP III has voting and dispositive power may be deemed to be beneficially owned by MDP III. John A. Canning, Paul J. Finnegan and Samuel M. Mencoff are the sole members of a limited partner committee of MDP III that have the power, acting by majority vote, to vote or dispose of the shares directly held by MDCP III. Messrs. Canning, Finnegan and Mencoff and MDP III each hereby disclaims any beneficial ownership of any shares over which MDCP III has voting and dispositive power. Due to this limited partner committee of MDP III, Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, the sole general partner of MDP III, no longer reports beneficial ownership of shares which may be beneficially owned.
3. MDP III, MDCP III and the fund affiliated with MDCP III each hereby disclaims any beneficial ownership of any shares directly held by Holdings, except to the extent of such reporting person's pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
