Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(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) The shares of the Issuer reported herein are held in the name of a wholly owned subisidiary of Harbinger Group Inc. ("HGI") by the name of HGI Funding, LLC, and may be held by one or more wholly owned subsidiaries of HGI in the future from time to time (collectively, such subsidiaries of HGI, "HGI Holdings"). Mr. Philip Falcone is the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of HGI and the portfolio manager of certain controlling persons of HGI. Neither HGI nor Mr. Falcone own directly any securities of the Issuer. However, as a result of HGI's ownership of all of HGI Holdings' equity and Mr. Falcone's position with HGI and his relationship with HGI's controlling persons, HGI and Mr. Falcone may be deemed to beneficially own securities of the Issuer directly owned by HGI Holdings.
(2) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a "group" for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities owned by the other reporting persons except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that such person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
