* 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) Derek C. Schrier previously filed a Form 3 and Form 4s with respect to securities of the Issuer owned directly by Farallon Capital Partners, L.P., Farallon Capital Institutional Partners, L.P., Farallon Capital Institutional Partners II, L.P., Farallon Capital Institutional Partners III, L.P., Tinicum Partners, L.P. and Farallon Capital Offshore Investors II, L.P. (collectively, the "Partnerships"), by Noonday Capital Partners, L.L.C. ("NCP") and by one or more discretionary accounts managed by Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C. ("FCMLLC").
(2) Mr. Schrier was a managing member of Farallon Partners, L.L.C. ("FPLLC"), the general partner of the Partnerships and the managing member of NCP, and FCMLLC, with the power to exercise investment discretion. As such, Mr. Schrier may have been deemed the beneficial owner of the Issuer's securities beneficially owned by FPLLC and FCMLLC. As of May 27, 2008, Mr. Schrier had resigned as a managing member of FPLLC and FCMLLC and no longer had investment discretion. As such, he may no longer be deemed a beneficial owner of any of the Issuer's securities beneficially owned by FPLLC and FCMLLC.
(3) The 7.25% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time into the number of shares of common stock as is equal to the aggregate liquidation preference ($50.00 per share), plus any accrued dividends to the date the Preferred Stock is are surrendered for conversion, divided by an initial conversion price of $15.00 subject to adjustment.
(4) The 7.25% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at any time without expiration unless earlier redeemed at the Issuer's discretion.
(5) Mr. Schrier, FCMLLC and the individuals identified in the prior Form 3s and Form 4s filed by the foregoing entities disclaim any beneficial ownership of any of the Issuer's securities reported or referred to herein or therein for purposes of Section 16 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "'34 Act"). FPLLC disclaims any beneficial ownership of any of the Issuer's securities reported or referred to herein or in such prior Form 3s and Form 4s for purposes of Section 16 under the '34 Act, or otherwise, except as to securities representing FPLLC's pro rata interest in, and interest in the profits of, the Partnerships.
(6) The Preferred Shares owned by the Partnerships, NCP and the discretionary account(s) managed by FCMLLC (together the "Relevant Entities") are subject to an on-going Delaware appraisal proceeding. The Relevant Entities expressly reserve all rights with respect to such appraisal proceedings and nothing in this Form 4 shall be deemed a waiver of any right related to such proceedings.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
