("GSCP Offshore Advisors"), GS Advisors V, L.L.C. ("GS Advisors"), Goldman, Sachs Management GP GmbH ("GS GmbH"), GS Capital Partners V Fund, L.P. ("GS Capital"), GS Capital Partners V Offshore Fund, L.P. ("GS Offshore"), GS Capital Partners V GmbH & Co. KG ("GS Germany"), GS Capital Partners V Institutional, L.P.

2. Due to the electronic system's limitation of 10 Reporting Persons per joint filing, this statement is being filed in duplicate.
3. The 31,433,360 shares of CVR Energy, Inc. (the "Company") common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock") reported herein are beneficially owned directly by CA II. The Funds are members of CA II and own common units of CA II. At this time, the Funds' common units correspond to 31,125,918 shares of Common Stock. The common units of CA II that correspond to the balance of the Common Stock owned by CA II are held by certain officers and directors of the Company.
4. Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly, in the aggregate, all of the Common Stock owned directly by CA II through the Funds because (i) affiliates of Goldman Sachs and GS Group are the general partner, managing general partner, managing partner, managing member or member of the Funds and (ii) the Funds control CA II and have the power to vote or dispose of the Common Stock owned by CA II. Goldman Sachs is a direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of GS Group. Goldman Sachs is the investment manager of certain of the Funds.
5. GS Capital and its general partner, GSCP Advisors, may be deemed to beneficially own indirectly 16,389,665 shares of Common Stock.

6. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock in excess of their pecuniary interest, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of, or has any pecuniary interest in, such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
