“Each of the Oskie Reporting Persons and Marcato Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership (except as provided in the Agreement), of any of the Shares controlled or beneficially owned by persons who are not also Oskie Reporting Persons or Marcato Reporting Persons, respectively.
 
(1)  
Marcato Reporting Persons
 
(a) – (e)  As of the date hereof, (i) Marcato and Mr. McGuire may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 5,653,026 Shares (the “Marcato Shares”) constituting 5.9% of the Shares, (ii) Marcato, L.P. may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,261,464 Shares, constituting 1.3% of the Shares, (iii) Marcato II, L.P. may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of  165,818 Shares, constituting 0.2% of the Shares and (iii) Marcato International Master Fund, Ltd. may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 4,225,744 Shares, constituting 4.4% of the Shares, each based upon 95,704,487 Shares outstanding as of February 8, 2013.  
 
Marcato, L.P. may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) 1,261,464 Shares. Marcato II, L.P. may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) 165,818 Shares.

Marcato, as the general partner of Marcato, L.P. Marcato II, L.P. and the investment manager of Marcato International Master Fund, Ltd., may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Marcato Shares. By virtue of Mr. McGuire's position as managing member of Marcato, Mr. McGuire may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Marcato Shares and, therefore, Mr. McGuire may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Marcato Shares.
 
The transactions by the Marcato Reporting Persons in the securities of the Issuer during the past sixty days (or since the Marcato Reporting Persons’ most recent report, if shorter) are set forth in Exhibit B-2. Except as otherwise indicated, all transactions in the Shares were effected through open market transactions.
 
(2)  
Oskie Reporting Persons

The number of Shares set forth above includes options to purchase Shares that are exercisable within the next 60 days.
 
 

 
 

 
 
 
CUSIP No. 521865204
SCHEDULE 13D
Page 13 of 15
 
 
Oskie Master Fund, LP may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) 488,683 Shares. Oskie, as the investment manager of Oskie Master Fund, LP and the investment manager to the Managed Account, may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Oskie Shares. By virtue of Mr. Markowitz's position as a portfolio manager of Oskie, Mr. Markowitz may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Oskie Shares and, therefore, Mr. Markowitz may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Oskie Shares. By virtue of Mr. Rowe’s position as head of research of Oskie, Mr. Rowe may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Oskie Shares and, therefore, Mr. Rowe may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Oskie Shares.
 
The number of Shares set forth above includes options to purchase Shares that are exercisable within the next 60 days. The Oskie Reporting Persons hold options to purchase 200,000 Shares pursuant to various listed American-style call options with strike prices of $60 and exercisable through September 21, 2013. None of the options gives the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any securities of the Issuer or requires the counterparties thereto to acquire, hold, vote or dispose of any securities of the Issuer prior to exercise.
