*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	This report is filed jointly by Tontine Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("TCP"), Tontine Capital Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("TCM"), Tontine Capital Overseas GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("TCO"), Tontine Capital Overseas Master Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership ("TMF"), Tontine Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("TP"), Tontine Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("TM"), Tontine 25 Overseas Master Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership ("T25"), Tontine Overseas Associates, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("TOA"), Tontine Capital Overseas Master Fund II, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership ("TCP 2"), Tontine Asset Associates, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("TAA") and Jeffrey L. Gendell ("Mr. Gendell").
(2)	Mr. Gendell is the managing member of: (a) TCM, the general partner of TCP and T25; (b) TCO, the general partner of TMF; (c) TM, the general partner of TP; (d) TOA, the investment advisor of Tontine Overseas Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company ("TOF"); and (e) TAA, the general partner of TCP 2.
(3)	Effective February 1, 2010, the filing parties reallocated ownership of Common Stock among the entities comprising the filing parties (the "Reallocation"). When giving effect solely to the Reallocation, the aggregate Common Stock ownership of the filing parties after the completion of the Reallocation will be the same as the aggregate Common Stock ownership of the filing parties before the Reallocation. In connection with the Reallocation, shares of Common Stock owned by TMF, TOF and T25 (collectively, the "Transferred Shares") will be deemed to have been distributed in kind as of February 1, 2010 to certain investors holding ownership interests in TMF, TOF and/or T25, with all of the Transferred Shares then being immediately contributed by such investors to TCP 2. The number of Transferred Shares reported in this Form 4 as being contributed to TCP 2 is a preliminary estimate by the filing parties.
(4)	The filing parties expect to finalize the actual number of Transferred Shares by the end of February 2010, and an amendment to this Form 4 will be filed when the number of Transferred Shares is finalized. As of the date of this Form 4, the filing parties estimate the number of Transferred Shares to be deemed distributed in kind by TMF to be 315,376 shares of Common Stock, to be deemed distributed in kind by TOF to be 804,021 shares of Common Stock, and to be deemed distributed in kind by T25 to be 91,023 shares of Common Stock, with all of such shares being immediately contributed to TCP 2. However, the actual number of Transferred Shares, as ultimately determined by the filing parties, may be materially different than the estimates disclosed in this footnote.
(5)	Before the consummation of the transactions discussed in Footnotes No. 3 and 4 to this Form 4, Mr. Gendell, TCM, TCO, TM, TOA, TAA and TCP 2 directly own 0 shares of Common Stock, TCP directly owns 9,831,729 shares of Common Stock, TMF directly owns 2,429,800 shares of Common Stock, TP directly owns 7,123,781 shares of Common Stock, TOF directly owns 3,142,083 shares of Common Stock and T25 directly owns 1,177,740 shares of the Common Stock.
(6)	All of the foregoing securities may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Mr. Gendell. The foregoing securities held by TCP and T25 may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TCM. The foregoing securities held by TMF may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TCO. The foregoing securities held by TP may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TM. The foregoing securities held by TOF may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TOA. Securities held by TCP 2 may be deemed to be beneficially owned by TAA.
(7)	Mr. Gendell disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise, except as to securities directly owned by Mr. Gendell or representing Mr. Gendell's pro rata interest in, and interest in the profits of, TCM, TCP, TCO, TMF, TP, TM, TOA, TOF, T25, TCP 2 and TAA. TCM disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise, except as to securities directly owned by TCM or representing TCM's pro rata interest in, and interest in the profits of, TCP and T25.
(8)	TCO disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise, except as to securities directly owned by TCO or representing TCO's pro rata interest in, and interest in the profits of, TMF.
(9)	TM disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise, except as to securities directly owned by TM or representing TM's pro rata interest in, and interest in the profits of, TP. TOA disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's securities reported herein for purposes of Section 16(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise, except as to securities directly owned by TOA or representing TOA's pro rata interest in, and interest in the profits of, TOF.
