Explanation of Responses:

1. The securities are held directly by PW Partners Master Fund (QP), LP. The Reporting Person is the chief executive officer and managing member of the General Partner of PW Partners Master Fund (QP), LP and exercises voting and dispositive power over these shares. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of his actual pecuniary interest therein.

2. The securities are held directly by PW Acquisitions, LP. The Reporting Person is the chief executive officer and managing member of the General Partner of PW Acquisitions, LP and exercises voting and dispositive power over these shares. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of his actual pecuniary interest therein.

3. The Reporting Person, solely by virtue of his position as the Managing Member of PW Partners Capital Management LLC ("PW Capital Management"), previously disclosed beneficial ownership of securities of the Issuer held in an account separately managed by PW Capital Management. As of June 8, 2016, PW Capital Management ceased to be the Investment Manager of the account. As a result, the Reporting Person is no longer deemed to beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held in the account.
