Explanatory Statement
 
As of December 31, 2008, Lehman Brothers Bankhaus AG (i. Ins.) (the “Filer”) had shared voting and investment power over the securities that are the subject of this Schedule 13G (“Securities”).  At some time prior to September 16, 2008, the Filer purchased the Securities pursuant to a master repurchase agreement.  Under this agreement, the Filer had shared voting and investment power over the Securities with other parties to the agreement.
 
Insolvency proceedings commenced in Germany regarding the Filer on November 13, 2008.  As of the date of this filing, the Filer has not been able to locate any confirmation for its purchase of the Securities.  As a result, the Filer has not been able to rule out the possibility that it had shared voting or investment power over the Securities prior to 2008.  Prior to the commencement of insolvency proceedings, the Filer may also have shared voting and investment power with Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc., of which the Filer is a wholly-owned subsidiary.
