("EnCap Fund VII" and, together with EnCap Fund VI and EnCap VI-B, the "EnCap Funds") collectively own a majority interest in OAS Holdco. Therefore, the EnCap Funds may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities.

(4) (Continued from previous footnote.) EnCap Fund VI GP is the sole general partner of each of EnCap Fund VI and EnCap VI-B, and EnCap Fund VII GP is the sole general partner of EnCap Fund VII. Therefore, the reporting person, Messrs. Miller, Phillips and Petersen, RNBD, EnCap Investments GP, EnCap Investments LP, EnCap Fund VI GP and EnCap Fund VII GP may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities.
(5) This report is filed in connection with the Form 4 filed jointly today by Messrs. Miller, Phillips and Petersen and RNBD and the Form 4 filed jointly today by the EnCap Funds, EnCap Investments GP, EnCap Investments LP, EnCap Fund VI GP and EnCap Fund VII GP.
