Explanation of Responses:

1. These securities are owned by Fairholme Funds, Inc., and therefore are deemed to be beneficially owned by Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C., the investment manager of Fairholme Funds, Inc., and Bruce R. Berkowitz, the managing member of Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C.

2. These securities are owned by Bruce R. Berkowitz, who is a Reporting Person.

3. Due to a distribution of assets, ownership of these securities was transferred from one of Fairholme's private funds to its investors. The investors subsequently placed the securities in separately managed accounts advised by Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C.

4. Bruce R. Berkowitz ("Mr. Berkowitz") is the managing member of Fairholme Capital Management, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Fairholme," and together with Mr. Berkowitz, the "Reporting Persons"), which serves as the general partner, managing member, investment manager or investment adviser to several investment funds, both public and private, and separately managed accounts that own such reported securities. The Reporting Persons each disclaim beneficial ownership in the securities reported on this Form 4 except to the extent of their pecuniary interest, if any, therein, and this report shall not be deemed to be an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.

5. Due to a distribution of assets from one of Fairholme's private funds to its investors, these securities are no longer deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

6. These transactions were executed on behalf of separately managed accounts to which Fairholme acts as investment adviser.
