investment alternatives, Oaktree, Special Credits and the other TCW Related
Entities have not excluded the possibility of considering such matters in the
future or formulating a plan with respect to such matters subject to
applicable law, and, from time to time, Oaktree, Special Credits or such
other TCW Related Entities may hold discussions with or make formal proposals
to management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer, other stockholders of
the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Special Credits, as general partner of Fund IIIb, receives a fee for managing
all the assets of Fund IIIb. In addition, Special Credits, as investment
manager of the Special Credits Accounts, receives a management fee for
managing the assets of each Special Credits Account. Fund IIIb and the
Special Credits Accounts have similar investment strategies of investing in
financially distressed entities; however, the implementation of these
strategies may differ from partnership to partnership and account to account.
Certain of the Oaktree Accounts have similar investment strategies of
investing in financially distressed entities, while one of the Oaktree
Accounts has an investment strategy of investing in high-yield debt
instruments but also contributed shares of the Issuer's Common Stock to the
account at the inception of its management by Oaktree.
TAMCO, as general partner of the Principal Fund, receives a management fee
for its management of the Principal Fund. Pursuant to a subadvisory
agreement between TAMCO and Oaktree, the Principal Fund is managed by
Oaktree, who receives a portion of the management fee received by TAMCO. The
Principal Fund's investment strategy is to invest in entities in which there
is a potential for the Principal Fund to exercise significant influence over
management. In addition, Oaktree, as investment manager of the Oaktree
Accounts, receives management fees or incentive fees for managing the assets
of each Oaktree Account.
TCW, as trustee of Special Credits Trusts, receives a management fee for
managing all the assets of Special Credits Trusts. The Special Credits
Trusts each have an investment strategy similar to Fund IIIb and Special
Credits Accounts in investing in financially distressed entities. However,
the implementation of this strategy may differ from entity to entity and
account to account.
Except to the extent the securities referred to in this Statement constitute
assets of the Special Credits Entities and Special Credits Accounts, and the
Principal Fund, there are no contracts, understandings or relationships
(legal or otherwise) among or between any member of the TCW Related Entities
or, to the best of their knowledge, their respective executive officers,
directors or general partners or between or among any of such persons and
with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
