Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The reporting person is the sole general partner of AP Professional Holdings, L.P. ("Holdings"), which holds 240,000,000 Apollo Operating Group ("AOG") units of the Issuer. Holdings may exchange the AOG units for Class A shares, subject to the restrictions and provisions set forth in the Exchange Agreement, dated July 13, 2007, by and between the Issuer and Holdings. Because the reporting person's share of Holdings' profits is zero and the reporting person's capital account in respect of Holdings is zero, the reporting person does not have a pecuniary interest in the Apollo Operating Group units and disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities.
(2)	Each AOG unit represents a right to receive one Class A share, subject to the restrictions and provisions set forth in the Exchange Agreement described in footnote (1) above.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, See Instruction 6 for procedure.
