The reporting person undertakes to provide to Issuer, any security holder of Issuer or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the ranges set forth in this footnote.
(3)	These option awards have been adjusted (a) to preserve the intrinsic value of awards existing prior to the spin-off of a portion of the Issuer's ownership interest in The WhiteWave Foods Company on May 23, 2013 and (b) to reflect the reverse stock split on August 26, 2013.
(4)	The options are fully vested and immediately exercisable upon grant.
