   (a)    Amount beneficially owned:      
      See Item 9 on page 2.      
      See Item 9 on page 3.      
      The securities reported in this Schedule 13G represent the Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock, as defined below, and a portion of the Common Stock for which the Warrants (as defined below) are exercisable (the “Initial Shares”).      
      The securities were acquired under an Investment Agreement, dated October 17, 2008, between Allianz SE and the Issuer, pursuant to which, among other things, the Issuer agreed to issue and sell in a private placement to Allianz Finance (i) 6,048,387 shares of the Issuer’s Series D Non-Voting Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Prefered Stock”) initially convertible into 24,193,548 shares of Common Stock; (ii) a warrant (the “Series B Warrant”) to purchase initially 34,806,452 shares of Common Stock or, in certain circumstances, 8,701,613 shares of the Issuer’s Series B Non-Voting Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, each initially convertible into four shares of Common Stock; and (iii) the warrant (the “Series C Warrant” and together with the Series B Warrant, the “Warrants”) to purchase initially 34,308,872 shares of Common Stock or, in certain circumstances, 8,577,218 shares of the Issuer’s Series C Non-Voting Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, each initially convertible into four shares of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B Warrant and Series C Warrant are referred to in this Schedule as the “Warrant Shares”. Due to the anti-dilution adjustments made in 2009 and 2010 pursuant to the provisions of the Warrants, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of Series B Warrant and Series C Warrant was adjusted to 34,925,544 and 34,426,262 respectively.      
      The exercise of the Warrants for the remainder of the Warrant Shares (other than the Initial Shares) is subject to the receipt of certain regulatory approvals. Accordingly, the remaining Warrant Shares (other than the Initial Shares) are not beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons until such approvals have been obtained.
