(2) Barberry Corp. ("Barberry"), is the sole member of Hopper Investments LLC ("Hopper"), which is the general partner of High River. Beckton Corp. ("Beckton") is the sole stockholder of Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc. ("Icahn Enterprises GP"), which is the general partner of Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. ("Icahn Enterprises Holdings"). Icahn Enterprises Holdings is the sole member of IPH GP LLC ("IPH"), which is the general partner of Icahn Capital LP ("Icahn Capital"). Icahn Capital is the general partner of each of Icahn Onshore LP ("Icahn Onshore") and Icahn Offshore LP ("Icahn Offshore"). Icahn Onshore is the general partner of Icahn Partners. Icahn Offshore is the general partner of each of Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III.
(3) Each of Barberry and Beckton is 100 percent owned by Carl C. Icahn. As such, Mr. Icahn is in a position indirectly to determine the investment and voting decisions made by each of High River, Icahn Partners, Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III. Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which High River owns. Each of Hopper, Barberry and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
(4) Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which Icahn Partners owns. Each of Icahn Onshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
(5) Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Act) the Shares which each of Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III owns. Each of Icahn Offshore, Icahn Capital, IPH, Icahn Enterprises Holdings, Icahn Enterprises GP, Beckton and Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
(6) Each of High River, Icahn Partners, Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III has entered into various cash-settled total return swap agreements (each a "Swap") with fixed termination dates and with respect to a notional number of shares of Common Stock ("reference shares") of the Issuer as set forth in Table II of the Form 3 filed by the Reporting Persons on October 2, 2008 (the "Form 3") and the applicable footnotes thereto. Generally, under each Swap, at termination, the counterparty is obligated to pay to High River, Icahn Partners, Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III, as applicable, in cash, amounts that are determined in part by reference to any increase between an initial reference price per share as set forth in Table II of the Form 3 and the market value of such reference shares on the applicable termination date.
(7) In addition, generally under each Swap, each of High River, Icahn Partners, Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III, as applicable, is obligated to pay to the counterparty, in cash, amounts that are determined in part by reference to any decrease between the initial reference price per share set forth in Table II of the Form 3 and the market value of such reference shares on the applicable termination date. None of the Swaps provides for any of the Reporting Persons to have direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any reference shares and, accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership in any reference shares or other securities, if any, which may be owned by the counterparties to such Swaps.
(8) On October 1, 2008, upon the partial termination of a Swap entered into by High River, Icahn Partners, Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III on June 12, 2008, High River, Icahn Partners, Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III paid to the counterparty an amount representing, for 13,916 of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Swap, the decrease between $5.35 (the initial reference price) and $4.1826 (the final valuation price). Pursuant to Rule 16a-4(b) under the Exchange Act, the partial termination of the Swap is being reported as a simultaneous purchase (which is exempt from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16-6(b) under the Exchange Act) and sale of the reference shares.
(9) On October 2, 2008, upon the partial termination of a Swap entered into by High River, Icahn Partners, Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III on June 11, 2008, High River, Icahn Partners, Icahn Master, Icahn Master II and Icahn Master III paid to the counterparty an amount representing, for 1,600 of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Swap, the decrease between $5.35 (the initial reference price) and $4.2238 (the final valuation price). Pursuant to Rule 16a-4(b) under the Exchange Act, the partial termination of the Swap is being reported as a simultaneous purchase (which is exempt from the operation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to Rule 16-6(b) under the Exchange Act) and sale of the reference shares.
