Explanation of Responses: |
1. This Form 3 amends and restates in its entirety the Form 3 previously filed on September 12, 2014. This Form 3 relates to KDI Capital Partners, LLC ("KDI")for itself and in its capacity as the investment manager and general partner of certain private partnership clients identified below which own shares of common stock of the Issuer and certain affiliated persons identified below. KDI may be deemed to beneficially own all shares owned by such private partnership clients for certain purposes. In the aggregate, such shares (along with shares that are owned directly by KDI and personally by certain affiliates of KDI) exceed ten percent of the Issuer's outstanding common stock, and thus may subject KDI to the reporting requirements of Section 16 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). |
2. However, KDI's economic interest in the respective shares that are owned by such private partnership clients is limited to KDI's pecuniary interest in each such client, and no such client has an economic interest in the shares that are owned by other KDI clients. As a result, the ownership of the shares of the Issuer's common stock is reported separately with respect to KDI and each such private partnership client of KDI. In addition, the shares each KDI affiliate owns directly might be attributed to KDI for certain beneficial ownership purposes; however, KDI disclaims any pecuniary interest in such shares. Each calculation of pecuniary interest has been rounded. Additional footnote disclosure is made below with respect to each such ownership situation. |
3. Pursuant to Rule 16(a)-1(a)(4) under the Exchange Act, this filing shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of the equity securities covered by the statement. |
4. Mr. John M. Day and Mr. Sheldon M. Fox, as Managing Members (and affiliates) of KDI, each may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities reported to be beneficially owned by KDI.

5. These shares are owned directly by KDI. |
