Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, which represent options to purchase shares of the Issuer that were granted by Related Fund Management, LLC ("Related") and Corvex Management LP ("Corvex") to EGI-CW Holdings, L.L.C. ("EGI-CW") pursuant to an agreement entered into between Related, Corvex and EGI-CW on February 11, 2014. EGI-CW is indirectly controlled by Chai Trust Company, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company ("Chai"). On June 2, 2014, the date the original Form 3 to which this amendment relates was filed, the reporting person had an indirect pecuniary interest in the options in his capacity as a member of EGI-Fund (11-13) Investors, L.L.C. ("EGI (11-13)"), which is the Managing Member of EGI-CW.
(2)	On June 19, 2014, subsequent to the date of the original Form 3, the reporting person became a member of EGI-CW, effective as of February 5, 2014, thereby resulting in the reporting person having an additional reportable indirect pecuniary interest in the options as of the date on which the reporting person became an officer of the Company. The reporting person is not an officer or a director of EGI-CW, EGI (11-13), Chai, or any other controlling person of EGI-CW, and does not have voting or dispositive power over the options, and therefore disclaims beneficial ownership thereof, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, See Instruction 6 for procedure.
