(1) Shares were issued pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated 2002 Equity Participation Plan (the "Plan") in lieu of a Board of Directors meeting attendance fee that would otherwise be payable in cash. In accordance with the Plan, the price is the average of the closing price per share on the 20 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date on which the meeting fee would otherwise be payable.
(2) Trian Fund Management GP, LLC ("Trian Management GP") is the general partner of Trian Fund Management, L.P ("Trian Management"), which serves as (i) the management company for Trian Partners, L.P. ("Trian Onshore"), Trian Partners Master Fund, L.P. ("Trian Offshore"), Trian Partners Parallel Fund I, L.P. ("Parallel Fund I") and Trian Partners Parallel Fund II, L.P. ("Parallel Fund II" and collectively, the "Trian Entities") and (ii) the investment manager for a separate account owned by TCMG-MA, LLC (the "Separate Account"). Trian Management has full discretion and authority to make all investment and voting decisions in respect of the Separate Account.
(3) (FN 2, contd.) Trian Partners General Partner, LLC ("Trian GP LLC") is the general partner of Trian Partners GP, L.P.

("Parallel Fund II GP"), which is the general partner of Parallel Fund II.

Accordingly, Mr. Peltz 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, the Trian Entities and the Separate Account. Mr. Peltz disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
(5) The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
