Explanation of Responses:

Each Right entitled its holder to purchase, at the holder's election and at the subscription price of $500, one (1) Unit (as defined in footnote 2). The listed transactions represent the exercise of the Rights and the purchase of the Units.
2. Each Unit consists of (a) an 8% senior unsecured note due December 15, 2019 in the principal amount of $500 (each, a "Note"), and (b) 17.5994 warrants (each, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Common Stock.
3. The amount of securities underlying the derivative securities represent the underlying Warrants but do not include the underlying Notes.
4. The Rights were distributed to each holder of the Company's Common Stock, at no charge, on a pro rata basis.
5. The price represents the cost of one (1) Unit consisting of one (1) Note and 17.5994 Warrants.
6. The securities may be deemed to be beneficially owned Bruce R. Berkowitz (the "Reporting Person") as the managing member of a registered investment adviser, which may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the securities because it serves as the investment manager to a registered investment company and certain private funds and managed accounts. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership in the securities reported on this Form 4 except to the extent of his pecuniary interest, if any, therein, and this report shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
