Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal that would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and depending upon various factors, including without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and strategic direction, the outcome of any discussions referenced above, overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to them, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, may endeavor (i) to increase or decrease the Funds and Accounts' positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of the shares of Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, derivative securities or other instruments that are convertible into such securities, or are based upon or relate to the value of such securities or the Issuer (collectively, "Securities") on the open market or in private transactions, including through a trading plan created under Rule 10b5-1(c) or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable and/or (ii) to enter into transactions that increase or hedge its economic exposure to the shares of Common Stock or other Securities without affecting the Reporting Persons' beneficial ownership of the Common Stock or other Securities.

Under the terms of the swaps, (i) the Global Fund will be obligated to pay to the counterparty any negative price performance of the specified notional number of Common Stock subject to the swaps as of the expiration date of such swaps, plus interest rates set forth in the applicable contracts, and (ii) the counterparty will be obligated to pay the Global Fund any positive price performance of the specified notional number of Common Stock subject to the swaps as of the expiration date of the swaps.
