<div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><b>12. Fair Value Measurement</b>
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     Certain of Mariner’s assets and liabilities are reported at fair value in the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such assets and liabilities include amounts for both
financial and nonfinancial instruments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
receivable and accounts payable (including income taxes payable and accrued expenses) approximated
fair value at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. These assets and liabilities are not included in
the following tables.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value. As presented in the table below, the hierarchy consists of three broad
levels. Level 1 inputs on the hierarchy consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets and liabilities and have the highest priority. Level 2 inputs are market-based and
are directly or indirectly observable but not considered Level 1 quoted prices, including quoted
prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar
instruments in markets that are not active; or valuation techniques whose inputs are observable.
Where observable inputs are available, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of
the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. Level 3 inputs are unobservable
(meaning they reflect Mariner’s own assumptions regarding how market participants would price the
asset or liability based on the best available information) and therefore have the lowest priority.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any
input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Mariner believes it uses appropriate
valuation techniques based on the available inputs to measure the fair values of its assets and
liabilities.
</div>
<div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     GAAP requires a credit adjustment for non-performance in calculating the fair value of
financial instruments. The credit adjustment for derivatives in an asset position is determined
based on the credit rating of the counterparty and the credit adjustment for derivatives in a
liability position is determined based on Mariner’s credit rating.
