Explanation of Responses:
1. Of the securities reported herein, 1,761,197 shares of Common Stock are held by Standard General Master Fund L.P. (the "Master Fund"), 697,801 shares of Common Stock are held by Standard General OC Master Fund L.P. (the "OC Master Fund"), and 541,002 shares of Common Stock are held by P Standard General Ltd. (together with the Master Fund and the OC Master Fund, the "Funds"), private investment vehicles for which Standard General L.P. ("Standard General") serves as investment manager. Standard General exercises voting and investment control over the shares held for the accounts of the Funds. Mr. Kim is a director of the general partner of the general partner of Standard General and Chief Investment Officer of Standard General, and in such capacities may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities reported herein.
2. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares reported herein except to the extent of its pecuniary interest in such shares, and the inclusion of such securities in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
3. On June 25, 2014, Standard General, on behalf of funds for which it serves as investment manager (collectively, "SG"), and Dov Charney, the Issuer's Chief Executive Officer, entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") that addresses several contemplated transactions (including a sale by SG to Mr. Charney of shares of Common Stock and the grant by Mr. Charney to SG of warrants to acquire such shares and certain additional shares of Common Stock held by him), which the parties agree, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, to enter into following the occurrence of the Condition Precedent (as defined in the Letter Agreement). Such transactions have not been consummated, and neither the number of shares proposed to be sold, nor the price at which such shares would be sold, nor the exercise price for the warrants has yet been determined. However, upon the Reporting Persons' purchase of the shares of Common Stock reported herein, the Condition Precedent has occurred.
4. A copy of the Letter Agreement is filed as Exhibit A to Amendment No. 13 to the Schedule 13D filed by Mr. Charney with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 27, 2014.
5. As a result of the Letter Agreement, the Reporting Persons and Mr. Charney may be deemed to have formed a "group" within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. However, the Reporting Persons do not expressly affirm the existence of a group. Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by Mr. Charney, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest that such Reporting Person may have with respect thereto.
