and Chairman of the Board of Janus Capital and is filing this joint

his position, Mr. Bailey may be deemed to have the power to exercise
or to direct the exercise of such voting and/or dispositive power that
Janus Capital may have with respect to Intersil Class A Common Stock
held by the Managed Portfolios. All shares reported herein have been
acquired by the Managed Portfolios, and Mr. Bailey specifically
disclaims beneficial ownership over any shares of Intersil Class A
Common Stock that he or Janus Capital may be deemed to beneficially
own. Furthermore, Mr. Bailey does not have the right to receive any
dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities held
