RILLC, individually and in its capacity as an investment adviser, may be deemed to possess direct beneficial ownership of the 4,817,501 Shares that are owned by it and the Managed Accounts.  Additionally, RILLC, as the sole general partner, or sole managing member of the general partner, of each of Relational LPs may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the 12,729,384 Shares beneficially owned by the Relational LPs because the limited partnership agreements of the Relational LPs specify that RILLC has sole investment discretion and voting authority with respect to those Shares.

Each of Messrs. Whitworth and Batchelder, as Principals of RILLC, may be deemed to share indirect beneficial ownership of the Shares which RILLC may beneficially own.  Each of Messrs. Whitworth and Batchelder disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.

To the best of the knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, other than as set forth above, none of the persons named in Item 2 is the beneficial owner of any Shares.
