Ownership:

Reference is hereby made to Items 5-9 and 11 of pages 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule, which Items are incorporated by reference herein.

The securities to which this Schedule relates (the “Securities”) are owned by certain investment limited partnerships, including Navigator, and other client accounts, for which Steelhead serves as general partner and/or investment manager. Steelhead, as Navigator’s and those other investment limited partnerships’ and other client accounts’ general partner and/or investment manager, and J. Michael Johnston and Brian K. Klein, as the member-managers and owners of Steelhead, may therefore be deemed to beneficially own Securities owned by Navigator and such other investment limited partnerships and client accounts for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”) insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of those Securities.

Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that Steelhead, Mr. Johnston or Mr. Klein is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and each of Steelhead, Mr. Johnston and Mr. Klein disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interests therein.

Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” in Rule 13d-3 under the Act, it is also possible that the individual general partners, executive officers, and members of the foregoing entities might be deemed the “beneficial owners” of some or all of the Securities insofar as they may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting or disposition of the Securities. Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

-7-

The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in item 11 of pages 2-5 was derived from the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 8, 2007, in which the Issuer stated that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2007 was 403,224,161.

Item 5.

Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class:

Not applicable.

Item 6.

Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person:

Steelhead serves as general partner and/or investment manager to certain investment limited partnerships, including Navigator, and other client accounts that have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Securities. Other than as reported in this Schedule, no investment limited partnership’s or other client accounts’ holdings exceed five percent of the Issuer’s Series A Common Stock.

Item 7.

Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on By the Parent Holding Company:

Not applicable.

Item 8.
