(the "Company") consisting of (i) 104,312,684 shares publicly reported by the Company to be outstanding as of October 28, 2009, and (ii) 2,168,397 shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Securities (as defined below) beneficially owned by FAM, FIL and Mr. Fletcher issuable within 60 days as of December 31, 2009).

The shares of Common Stock of the Company reported to be beneficially owned consist of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock underlying the Convertible Securities held in one or more accounts managed by FAM (the "Accounts"), for FIL. FAM has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of all shares of Common Stock and Common Stock underlying the Convertible Securities in the Accounts. By virtue of Mr. Fletcher's position as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of FAM, Mr. Fletcher may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of, and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of, such shares, and, therefore, Mr. Fletcher may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of such Common Stock.
