(1) These securites represent the unvested portion of restricted stock unit grants made on 11/26/2010, 11/25/2011 and 11/26/2012. The grants of restricted stock units vest in five equal installments commencing one year after the date of grant, with after-tax net shares subject to a minimum 50% holding requirement until separation of service with the Company.
(2) These options become exercisable in three equal installments commencing one year after the date of grant.
(3) Upon the vesting of performance vested restricted stock units in November 2007, the executive deferred the receipt of 3,400 shares of common stock and received instead 3,400 shares of phantom stock pursuant to the Company's deferred compensation plan.
(4) The phantom stock will be settled in shares of common stock upon the executive's termination of employment with the Company.
(5) Each share of phantom stock represents the right to receive one share of common stock.
