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)	In addition to Mantle Ridge LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Mantle Ridge"), this Form 3 is being filed jointly by MR Argent Advisor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("MR Argent"), MR Argent GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Fund GP"), 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)	Seven shares of the Issuer are held by a wholly owned and wholly controlled special purpose subsidiary of Mantle Ridge.
(3)	MR Argent, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mantle Ridge, advises the accounts of MR Argent Fund CE LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and MR Argent Offshore Fund AB LP, MR Argent Offshore Fund BB LP, MR Argent Offshore Fund CB 01 LP, MR Argent Offshore Fund CB 02 LP, MR Argent Offshore Fund CB 03 LP, MR Argent Offshore Fund CB 04 LP, MR Argent Offshore CB 05 LP and MR Argent Offshore CB 07 LP, each a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, and, if applicable, their subsidiaries, which are Cayman Islands exempted companies (all such funds and their subsidiaries together, the "Mantle Ridge Funds").
(4)	MR Argent, as the investment adviser to the Mantle Ridge Funds, and Mantle Ridge, as the sole member of MR Argent, 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. As the general partner of the Mantle Ridge Funds, Fund GP may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Subject Securities for purposes of Rule 16a-1(a). By virtue of Paul C. Hilal's position as ultimately controlling MR Argent, Mantle Ridge and MR GP HoldCo LLC, the sole member of the Fund GP, 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.
(5)	Paul C. Hilal is a member of the board of directors of the Issuer, and as a result, each of the Reporting Persons are directors by deputization for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(6)	The Mantle Ridge Funds have entered into call option contracts, pursuant to which, during the option term, they have a right to buy purchase contracts with respect to Issuer common stock. Under such purchase contracts, the Mantle Ridge Funds would have (if the option were exercised) the obligation to buy a specified number of Issuer common stock at a fixed exercise price on or prior to the maturity date of such purchase contract. The amount shown in column 3 is the number of shares of Issuer common stock underlying the purchase contract applicable to the option. The amount shown in column 4 is the exercise price of the call option per share of Issuer common stock, which may be different from the exercise price per share of Issuer common stock underlying the purchase contract applicable to the option.
