Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )MP CA Homes LLC was the direct owner of 89,400,000 shares of Common Stock and 450,829 shares of Series B Junior Participating Convertible Preferred Stock ("Junior Convertible Preferred Stock"). On May 20, 2013, MP CA Homes LLC sold 23,000,000 shares of Common Stock and also converted 183,000 shares of Junior Convertible Preferred Stock into 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock. 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. (Continued in footnote 2) ( 2 )MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC (the "Adviser") is the investment adviser to the Funds. MatlinPatterson PE Holdings 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 PE Holdings LLC. ( 3 )Although the Reporting Person does not have voting or investment control over shares held by MP CA Homes LLC, the Reporting Person may be deemed to have an indirect pecuniary interest in such shares through his indirect interest in a limited partner which holds an investment interest and carried 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. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. ( 4 )Each share of Junior Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into such number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer equal to $1,000 divided by the applicable conversion price of the Junior Convertible Preferred Stock ($3.05 as of the date hereof, subject to anti-dilution adjustment); provided that upon such conversion the holder thereof cannot own more than 49% of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Issuer. ( 5 )The Junior Convertible Preferred Stock has no expiration date.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
