Explanation of Responses:

1. In addition to Mantle Ridge LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Mantle Ridge"), this Form 3 is being filed jointly by MR BridgeStone Advisor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("MR BridgeStone"), and Paul C. Hilal, a citizen of the United States of America (collectively, the "Reporting Persons"), each of whom has the same business address as Mantle Ridge and may be deemed to have a pecuniary interest in securities reported on this Form 3 (the "Subject Securities"). All Subject Securities reported on this Form 3 are rounded up to the nearest whole share.

2. MR BridgeStone, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mantle Ridge, advises the accounts of MR BridgeStone Offshore Fund AB Ltd and MR BridgeStone Offshore Fund CA 01 Ltd, each a Cayman Islands exempted company (all such funds and their subsidiaries together, the "Mantle Ridge Funds").

3. MR BridgeStone, as the investment adviser to the Mantle Ridge Funds, and Mantle Ridge, as the sole member of MR BridgeStone, each may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Subject Securities for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. By virtue of Paul C. Hilal's position as ultimately controlling MR BridgeStone and Mantle Ridge, Paul C. Hilal may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Subject Securities for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a). Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims any beneficial ownership of any of the Subject Securities, except to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein.

4. Paul C. Hilal is a member of the board of directors of the Issuer, and as a result, each of the other Reporting Persons may be directors by deputization for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

5. Certain of the Mantle Ridge Funds are party to forwards which may be physically settled (the "Physically Settled Forward Agreements") having an average net purchase price of $34.95 per share. On the applicable valuation date, unless such Mantle Ridge Fund elects cash settlement and subject to the satisfaction of certain regulatory conditions, the counterparty will deliver to such Mantle Ridge Fund a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock referenced in such physically settled forward, in exchange for cash equal to the then-applicable forward price plus a financing amount.

6. In accordance with footnote 5, if such Mantle Ridge Fund elects cash settlement, such Mantle Ridge Fund will pay to the counterparty any decrease in, and receive from the counterparty any increase in, the market price of the referenced notional number of shares of Common Stock during a period determined in accordance with the Physically Settled Forward Agreement around each valuation date compared with a forward price (which includes a financing charge) agreed by the parties. Such Mantle Ridge Fund may elect to exercise the Physically Settled Forward Agreement early, in which case the valuation date will occur on such exercise date.

7. Certain of the Mantle Ridge Funds are party to cash-settled forward transactions (the "Cash Settled Forward Agreements"). Under the terms of the Cash Settled Forward Agreements, such Mantle Ridge Fund will pay to the counterparty any decrease in, and receive from the counterparty any increase in, the market price of the referenced notional number of shares of Common Stock during a period determined in accordance with the Cash Settled Forward Agreement around each valuation date compared with a forward price (which includes a financing charge) agreed by the parties, as adjusted to account for any cash dividends or distributions declared by the Issuer. Such Mantle Ridge Fund may elect to terminate the Cash Settled Forward Agreement early, in which case the valuation date will occur on such early termination date.
