The Farallon Managing Members and the Farallon Senior Managing Member disclaim any beneficial ownership of any of the Issuer's securities reported or excluded herein for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a) under the '34 Act or otherwise. As previously reported, on or about September 10, 2007, the Funds and the Managed Accounts demanded appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") with respect to all 542,560 of the 7.25% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares") held by such persons at that time. Pursuant to the DGCL, by demanding appraisal rights with respect to the Preferred Shares (the "Appraisal Proceedings"), the Funds and the Managed Accounts provisionally lost any entitlement to vote or receive dividends or distributions payable with respect to such Preferred Shares. Upon the conclusion of the Appraisal Proceedings trial on December 17, 2008, the Funds and the Managed Accounts understand that as a matter of Delaware law, there is no reasonable possibility that their voting, dividend or distribution rights with respect to the Preferred Shares will be restored. The Funds and the Managed Accounts believe that under the DGCL their status is primarily that of monetary claimants against the Issuer pending settlement or final adjudication of the Appraisal Proceedings. Consequently, although the Funds' and the Managed Accounts' Preferred Shares have not been cancelled by the Issuer, the Funds and the Managed Accounts do not understand the rights to appraisal proceeds to be share ownership. The reporting persons are therefore filing this Form 4 to report the disposition of all of the Preferred Shares owned by the Funds and the Managed Accounts. The consideration for the disposition of the Preferred Shares will be determined pursuant to the Appraisal Proceedings currently pending in the Court of Chancery in Delaware. Each preferred stockholder is entitled to convert the Preferred Shares into common stock of the Issuer. To determine the number of common shares issuable upon conversion, each Preferred Share should be multiplied by the quotient of (i) the liquidation preference ($50.00 per share) plus the accrued and unpaid dividends ($29.40 as of the merger date on August 22, 2007) divided by (ii) the conversion price ($15.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments that were not applicable at the time of the merger). In addition, when Preferred Shares are converted, all accumulated dividends and all accrued dividends (whether or not declared and currently payable) on the Preferred Shares so converted are immediately due and payable, and may, at the Issuer's option, be paid in cash or shares of common stock. Assuming the market value of the common stock at the time of the merger was the $1.80 price paid in the merger, then the formula would be $29.40 divided by $1.80. Thus, each Preferred Share being converted would be entitled to an additional 16.33 shares of common stock for the accumulated and unpaid dividends owed by the Issuer on that Preferred Share. The Preferred Shares are convertible at any time without expiration at the option of the holder unless earlier redeemed by the Issuer. The Funds and the Managed Accounts expressly reserve all rights available to them with respect to the Appraisal Proceedings. /s/ Monica R.
