Steelhead, as the investment manager of Steelhead Navigator and of those other client accounts, and as the sole member of Steelhead Navigator’s general partner, and each of J.

Klein, as the member-managers of Steelhead, may be deemed to beneficially own the Securities owned by Steelhead Navigator and such other client accounts for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of those Securities.
Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of Steelhead, Mr. Johnston or Mr. Klein is, for any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and each of Steelhead, Mr. Johnston and Mr. Klein disclaims beneficial ownership as to the Securities, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interests therein.

Neither the filing of this Schedule nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of such individuals is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the Securities, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
The calculation of percentage of beneficial ownership in Item 11 of pages 2, 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule, was derived from the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2013, in which the Issuer stated that the number of shares of its Common Stock outstanding as of August 7, 2013 was 47.1 million shares.
