Explanation of Responses:
1. MP CA Homes LLC was the direct owner of a warrant to purchase 89,400,000 shares of Common Stock for an exercise price of $2.09732 per share of Common Stock (the "Warrant"). On December 21, 2010, MP CA Homes LLC exercised the Warrant by paying the exercise price of $2.09732 per share of Common Stock, in cash for an aggregate $187,500,408.00. MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners III L.P. and MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners (Cayman) III L.P. (together, "the Funds"), hold 100 percent of the membership interests in MP CA Homes LLC. MatlinPatterson Global Partners III LLC (the "General Partner") is the general partner of the Funds. MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC (the "Adviser") is the investment adviser to the Funds. MatlinPatterson Asset Management LLC holds 100 percent of the voting interest and equity of the Adviser and the General Partner. MatlinPatterson LLC holds 100 percent of the equity of MatlinPatterson Asset Management LLC. Other than MP CA Homes LLC, except to the extent that such reporting persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by MP CA Homes LLC, except to the extent that such reporting person holds an indirect pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all the reported shares for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
2. David J. Matlin is an employee of the Adviser and a holder of 50 percent of the membership interests in MatlinPatterson LLC. David J. Matlin may be deemed to have shared voting and investment control (together with Mark R. Patterson) over the shares held by MP CA Homes LLC. He also has an indirect pecuniary interest in the Funds. His exact pecuniary interest therein is not readily determinable because it is subject to several variables, including without limitation, the internal rates of return of the Funds overall with respect to their indirect investment in the Issuer. David J. Matlin disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
3. The Warrant was set to expire one business day immediately following the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Issuer's cash tender offers for any and all of the Issuer's 9 1/4% senior subordinated notes due April 15, 2012, 6 1/4% senior notes due April 1, 2014 and 7 % senior notes due August 15, 2015 and (ii) the six month anniversary of November, 23, 2010, the date of the amendment of the Warrant.
