  3. (FN 2, contd.) Mr. Frank is a limited partner of certain affiliates of the Trian Entities and therefore may be deemed to have an indirect interest in the shares which they hold. The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interests therein and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

  5. On each of December 8, 2015 and December 9, 2015, TPSIF II entered into a privately negotiated back-to-back call and put transaction (each, an "Option") with a counterparty through which it is entitled to the same economic gain or loss as if it had purchased the indicated shares. More specifically, these transactions represent call options pursuant to which, on or prior to December 31, 2017 (the "Exercise Date"), TPSIF II may acquire the number of shares set forth above at the exercise price set forth above (the "Exercise Price").
  6. (FN 5, contd.) These call options may be exercised at any time, in whole or in part, on or prior to the Exercise Date. Simultaneously with the purchase of each call option, TPSIF II also sold a put option to the counterparty for the same number of shares pursuant to which, if on the Exercise Date the call option has not been exercised by TPSIF II and the Exercise Price is greater than the closing price of the shares on the Expiration Date (the "Closing Price"), the counterparty may require TPSIF II, at its election, to either (i) pay the counterparty an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the excess of 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.) As part of these transactions, TPSIF II pays the counterparty a financing fee based on the number of days that the Options that it holds are outstanding, which fee is calculated using a monthly rate equal to USD-FFR-OPEN (as displayed on Bloomberg Screen "FEDSOPEN" [INDEX] [GO] or any successor pages) plus an applicable spread.
