Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  The Reporting Person was awarded the securities reported on this line as restricted stock units issued under the Issuer's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. Each restricted stock unit was canceled in connection with the acquisition of the Issuer by The Men's Wearhouse, Inc. ("Men's Wearhouse") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Java Corp. ("Purchaser"), effective as of June 18, 2014 (the "Merger"), in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash, payable to the holder thereof, equal to the Merger Consideration (as such term is defined in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated as of March 11, 2014, between the Issuer, Men's Wearhouse and Purchaser).
( 2)  The Reporting Person held the phantom stock reported on this line pursuant to the terms of the Issuer's Deferred Compensation Plan. Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of the Issuer's Common Stock. Each share of phantom stock was canceled in connection with the Merger in exchange for the right to receive an amount in cash, payable to the holder thereof, equal to the Merger Consideration (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement).
