Footnotes

F1: This Form 5 amends and restates in its entirety the Form 5 previously filed on January 26, 2015. This Form 5 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 owns shares of common stock of the Issuer and in its capacity as the investment advisor to certain separately managed account clients. 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").

F2: However, KDI's economic interest in the 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 each such private partnership client of KDI. Each calculation of pecuniary interest has been rounded and reflects KDI's pecuniary interest as of the date of this form. Additional footnote disclosure is made below with respect to each ownership situation.

F3: Pursuant to Rule 16(a)-l(a)(4) under the Exchange Act, this filing shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is, for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of the equity securities covered by the statement.

F4: These shares are owned directly by Outstanding Businesses Limited Partnership ("OB LP"), a private partnership client of KDI of which KDI is the general partner. This transaction was a redemption in kind from OB LP to a limited partner. There was no change to KDI's pecuniary interest as a result of this transaction.

F5: These shares are owned directly by Financial Ascent Limited Partnership ("FA LP"), a private partnership client of KDI of which KDI is the general partner. This transaction was a redemption in kind from FA LP to a separately managed account of a limited partner. There was no change to KDI's pecuniary interest as a result of this transaction. KDI disclaims any pecuniary interest in shares owned by such separately managed account client.
