        <footnote id="F1">The securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are held directly by Jolly Roger Fund LP, a limited partnership for which Pirate Capital LLC (&quot;Pirate&quot;) serves as general partner, and Jolly Roger Offshore Fund LTD, an entity for which Pirate serves as investment advisor (collectively, the &quot;Funds&quot;). Pirate is deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of the securities due to its position as general partner or investment advisor, as applicable, of the Funds, and its pecuniary interest in such shares is a fractional interest in such amount. Thomas R. Hudson Jr., as the sole managing member of Pirate, is also deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner of such securities. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of any and all such amounts in excess of such actual pecuniary interest.</footnote>
