Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	This Form 4 is being filed by Bank of America Corporation ("BAC"), a Delaware corporation and bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, on behalf of its subsidiaries.
(2)	Transaction executed by the error correction section of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated ("MLPFS"), a broker-dealer and subsidiary of BAC, to correct errors made in connection with agency brokerage trades made on behalf of clients of MLPFS.
(3)	In connection with this transaction, BAC has agreed to voluntarily remit appropriate profits, if any, to the Issuer. BAC disclaims that such transaction is subject to reporting under Section 16(a) or disgorgement under Section 16(b), and this report shall not be deemed an admission that those sections apply to such transaction.
(4)	In addition to the shares of Common Stock reported herein, as of the date of this transaction BAC was also the beneficial owner of 13,562,878 shares of Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock"), as reported in Table II. The Series B Preferred Stock automatically converts into Common Stock on a 1-for-1 basis upon transfer to a third party and has no expiration date. As reported on a Form 4 filed on May 23, 2011, BAC is no longer the beneficial owner of any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock.
(5)	BAC is short 1 put option with an exercise price of $185.00.
(6)	Each of BAC, Merrill Lynch & Co., Inc. ("ML&Co."), MLPFS and Merrill Lynch Group, Inc. ("ML Group", and collectively the "Reporting Persons") disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein. As reported on a Form 4 filed on May 23, 2011, BAC is no longer the beneficial owner of any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock.
(7)	BAC owns the Common Stock indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary MLPFS. BAC owned the Series B Preferred Stock indirectly through its wholly owned subsidiary, ML Group. As reported on a Form 4 filed on May 23, 2011, BAC is no longer the beneficial owner of any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock.
(8)	Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Stockholder Agreement dated as of November 15, 2010, as may be amended from time to time, between ML&Co., ML Group and the Issuer, once ML&Co. and its affiliates have beneficially owned less than five percent of the Issuer's capital stock for a period of 90 days, ML&Co.'s designee to the Issuer's board of directors is required to resign. As reported on a Form 4 filed on May 23, 2011, the Issuer has waived this requirement to allow ML&Co.'s designee to continue to serve as a member of the Issuer's board of directors, subject to future review by the Issuer's board of directors. Each of the Reporting Persons other than ML&Co. disclaims its possible status as director of the Issuer.
