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)	On July 2, 2010, Glencore International AG ("Glencore International") entered into a Master Terms and Conditions for Swap Transactions agreement (the "Swap Agreement") with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citi"), pursuant to which Glencore International and Citi may, from time to time, enter into cash-settled total return swaps (the "Swaps").
(2)	Pursuant to the Swap Agreement, on September 15, 2010, Glencore International received economic exposure pursuant to a Swap (the "First Swap") entered into between Glencore International and Citi with an initial expiration date of September 17, 2012 (subsequently extended effective September 12, 2012 to September 17, 2014).
(3)	Upon expiration of the First Swap, (i) Glencore International will be obligated to make a cash payment to Citi with respect to any depreciation in the volume weighted average price of the 4,729,302 shares of common stock referenced by the First Swap (the "First Subject Shares") from the $9.719270 per share volume weighted average price calculated during the initial averaging period for the First Swap (which ended on September 15, 2010) to the volume weighted average price of the First Subject Shares during the final valuation period preceding the expiration of the term of the First Swap, or (ii) Citi will be obligated to make a cash payment to Glencore International with respect to any appreciation in such volume weighted average price based on the above period.
(4)	Under the terms of the Swap Agreement, generally, Glencore International will be obligated to post cash collateral to Citi and pay to Citi certain fees and commissions and Citi will be obligated to pay to Glencore International an amount in cash equal to any dividends that would have been paid by the Company on the First Subject Shares.
(5)	The cash settled total return swaps reported in Table II are held directly by Glencore International and may be deemed to be beneficially owned indirectly by Glencore plc its controlling shareholder. The cash settled total return swap does not give the reporting persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any securities of the issuer, and accordingly, the reporting persons disclaim any beneficial ownership in the First Subject Shares and the Second Subject Shares.
(6)	Pursuant to the Swap Agreement, on March 11, 2011, Glencore International received economic exposure pursuant to a Swap (the "Second Swap") entered into between Glencore International and Citi with an initial expiration date of March 11, 2013 (subsequently extended effective March 11, 2013 to March 11, 2015).
(7)	Upon expiration of the Second Swap, (i) Glencore International will be obligated to make a cash payment to Citi with respect to any depreciation in the volume weighted average price of the 4,400,000 shares of common stock referenced by the Second Swap (the "Second Subject Shares") from the $16.6582 per share volume weighted average price calculated during the initial averaging period for the Second Swap (which ended on March 11, 2011) to the volume weighted average price of the Second Subject Shares during the final valuation period preceding the expiration of the term of the Second Swap, or (ii) Citi will be obligated to make a cash payment to Glencore International with respect to any appreciation in such volume weighted average price based on the above period.
(8)	Under the terms of the Swap Agreement, generally, Glencore International will be obligated to post cash collateral to Citi and pay to Citi certain fees and commissions and Citi will be obligated to pay to Glencore International an amount in cash equal to any dividends that would have been paid by the Company on the Second Subject Shares.
