  1. The reporting persons are: (i) Steelhead Partners, LLC ("Steelhead"), a registered investment advisor within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(a)(1)(v) under the Exchange Act; and (ii) each of James Michael Johnston and Brian Katz Klein, Steelhead's member-managers.
  2. 12,693,668 shares of common stock reported on this Form 4 are beneficially held by Steelhead Navigator Master, L.P. (" Steelhead Navigator"). The balance of the shares reported on this Form 4 is beneficially held by certain other investment limited partnerships and client accounts, none of which, other than Steelhead Navigator, is itself the beneficial owner of more than 10% of the issuer's common stock (collectively with Steelhead Navigator, the "Funds"). Steelhead serves as the investment manager of the Funds. As a greater than 10% beneficial owner, Steelhead Navigator is separately reporting its holdings in the issuer's securities on a Form 4 filed concurrently herewith.
  3. Steelhead and the other reporting persons may be deemed to beneficially own the securities owned by the Funds insofar as they may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting or disposition of such securities. The reporting persons have elected therefore to file this Form 4 voluntarily to report the Funds' holdings on an aggregate basis, notwithstanding the reporting exemption applicable to registered investment advisors under Rule 16a-1(a)(1)(v) and to control persons under Rule 16a-1(a)(1)(vii). The filing of this Form 4 should not, however, be deemed an admission by any of the reporting persons that such person falls outside the scope of the foregoing exemptions, or that the reporting persons and/or the Funds form a group within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(a)(1). Each of Steelhead, Mr. Johnston, Mr. Klein and the Funds expressly disclaims beneficial ownership in these securities, except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interests therein.
  4. These shares were acquired as partial compensation to the reporting person for tendering shares of Fibrek, Inc. to the issuer in connection with the issuer's acquisition of Fibrek, Inc. (the "Tender Offer"). The price reported on Table 1 of this Form 4 is based on the price per share of the issuer's common stock, which was valued in connection with the Tender Offer at CAN$15.82, and adjusted to reflect the applicable exchange rate on May 16, 2012.
  5. A portion of the shares of the issuer's common stock reported in Table I on this Form 4 was issued to the Funds pursuant to the issuer's plans of reorganization (the "Plans") in connection with its creditor protection proceedings under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada). The issuance of the shares under the Plans is in partial consideration of the claims arising from the Funds' ownership of certain bonds, which have been canceled pursuant to the Plans. The initial distribution of the shares of the issuer's common stock to certain creditors pursuant to the Plans, including to the Funds, occurred on December 20, 2010. As the remaining claims are being resolved pursuant to the Plans, the creditors, including the Funds, may from time to time receive additional distribution of shares of the issuer's common stock.
