(1) These common stock shares reflect time-vested stock awards.
(2) This reflects a distribution of shares from Terrapin Partners Venture Partnership to the Weiss Family Trust, which is exempt under Rule 16a-13.

Pursuant to the CVR Agreements, Terrapin Partners Venture Partnership was obligated to pay (in the form of cash or the issuer's common shares) to CVR holders an amount per CVR by which the Anniversary Price (defined as the arithmetical average of the volume weighted average trading price of the common stock as reported by Bloomberg Professional Service for the period beginning 9:30 a.m., New York City time and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York City time for the 30 trading days prior to February 5, 2009) was less than $10.50, up to a maximum of $1.00 (the "CVR Payments"). (Continued in Footnote 8 below)
(8) The CVR Agreements provide that for purposes of determining the number of common shares required to settle the CVR Payments, the value of each common share shall equal the higher of the Anniversary Price or $9.00. Accordingly, solely for purposes of computing the number of common shares required to settle the CVR Payments, each common share used to settle the CVR Payments has a deemed value of $9.00 under the CVR Agreements.
