Explanation of Responses:

1. Prior to consummation of the Issuer's initial public offering of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), the Common Stock will undergo a 555-for-1 split. The amount of securities beneficially owned by the reporting person reported on this Form 3 reflects the number of shares of Common Stock that the reporting person will beneficially own upon consummation of the stock split.

2. Green Equity Investors II, L.P. ("GEI") is the direct owner of 7,223,290 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Shares"). Jonathan D. Sokoloff is a director of the Issuer and a partner of Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., the management company of GEI. Mr. Sokoloff, directly (whether through ownership or position) or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, may be deemed for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be an indirect beneficial owner of the Shares owned by GEI and, therefore, a "ten percent holder" hereunder. Mr. Sokoloff disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares reported herein, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Sokoloff is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purposes.
