*EXPLANATORY NOTE*

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amendment”) solely modifies the cover page of our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2012, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2012 (the “Original Form 10-Q”), to correct an error reflected in the number of common shares outstanding. Specifically, the inadvertent error reports, “As of October 17, 2012, the registrant had 418,222,228 common shares, $.01 par value, outstanding.” The number of common shares outstanding as of October 17, 2012 is 481,777,772. All other items of the Original Form 10-Q are unaffected by this Amendment and such items have not been included in this Amendment. Information included in this Amendment does not reflect any subsequent event occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-Q.
