the 722,178 Units owned directly by AXA Equitable, represent approximately
1.6% of the Units outstanding, and the 66,220,822 AB Capital Units owned by
ACMC, which, together with the 49,264,877 AB Capital Units owned directly by

of the AB Capital Units outstanding. By reason of its ownership interest in
MLOA, MONY Life may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly, and to have
voting and dispositive power with respect to, the 1,225,000 AB Capital Units
owned by MLOA, which, together with the 4,389,192 AB Capital Units owned
directly by MONY Life, represent approximately 2.2% of the AB Capital Units
outstanding. By reason of its ownership interest in AXFS, ACMC, AXA Equitable,
AXA Bermuda, MLOA and MONY Life, AXF may be deemed to beneficially own
indirectly, and to have voting and dispositive power with respect to,
the 722,178 Units owned by ACMC and the 722,178 Units owned by AXA

Units owned directly by AXA Equitable, the 40,861,854 AB Capital Units owned
directly by AXA Bermuda, the 4,389,192 AB Capital Units owned directly by MONY
Life, and the 1,225,000 AB Capital Units owned by MLOA, which represent
approximately 62.1% of the AB Capital Units outstanding. (This excludes Units
acquired by the Reporting Persons and their affiliates solely for investment
purposes on behalf of client discretionary accounts.)

         AXA, by virtue of its indirect ownership of 100% of the outstanding
shares of common stock of AXF, may be deemed to beneficially own all of the
Units and AB Capital Units owned indirectly by AXF. By reason of the Voting
Trust Agreement, the Trustees may also be deemed to be beneficial owners of
such Units and AB Capital Units. In addition, the Mutuelles AXA, as a group,
may be deemed to be beneficial owners of such Units and AB Capital Units. Each
of AXA, the Mutuelles AXA and the Trustees expressly declares that the filing
of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that it is, for
purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
the beneficial owner of such Units or AB Capital Units.

        AXA, by reason of its relationship with AXF, may be deemed to share the
power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of
all of the Units and AB Capital Units beneficially owned by AXF. By reason of
the Voting Trust arrangement, the Trustees may be deemed and, by reason of
their relationship with AXA and the Mutuelles AXA, as a group, to share the
power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition
of all the Units and AB Capital Units beneficially owned by AXF.
