("Trian Onshore"), Trian Partners Master Fund, L.P. ("Trian Offshore"), Trian Partners Master Fund (Non-ERISA), L.P. ("Trian Offshore (Non-ERISA)"), Trian Partners Parallel Fund I, L.P.

("Trian GP"), which is the general partner of Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore and Trian Offshore (Non-ERISA). Trian Partners Parallel Fund I General Partner, LLC ("Parallel Fund I GP LLC") is the general partner of Parallel Fund I.

Accordingly, Mr. Garden may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) the shares beneficially owned by the Management Entities.

(5) Each of the Trian Entities and the Separate Account have entered into a series of privately negotiated back-to-back call and put transactions with a counterparty through which they acquired an economic interest in the indicated shares.
(6) (FN 5, contd.) In these transactions, simultaneously with the purchase of each call option, the Trian Entities and the Separate Account also sold a put option to the counterparty for the same number of shares pursuant to which, if on the expiration date of the options the exercise price per share of the call option were greater than the closing price of the shares on the expiration date (the "Closing Price"), then the counterparty would be entitled to cause the Trian Entities and the Separate Account, at their election, to either (i) pay the counterparty an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the excess of the exercise price per share pursuant to such option (the "Exercise Price") over the Closing Price and (b) the number of shares set forth above or (ii) acquire from the counterparty the number of shares set forth above at the Exercise Price.
(7) (FN 6, contd.) The call options are exercisable into shares at any time, in whole or in part, prior to their expiration date. If a call option is exercised prior to its expiration date, the party exercising the option will receive a cash rebate from the counterparty for the period from the day after the exercise date to (and including) three business days after the expiration date calculated using an annual rate of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.30%.
