(2) The amounts shown in this column reflect the aggregate Company contributions made during Fiscal 2011. The total is comprised of the following: (a) matching contributions with respect
to each NEO's deferrals of base salary and Incentive Plan compensation for Fiscal 2011; (b) a make-up match that is equal to the match that would have been made to the 401(k) Plan had
the dollars deferred to the Nonqualified Savings and Supplemental Retirement Plan not directly reduced the NEO's eligible 401(k) compensation; and (c) if the NEO maximized the
deferral to the 401(k) Plan and deferred at least 3% of base salary to the Nonqualified Savings and Supplemental Retirement Plan, at the end of the year, the Company made an additional
Company contribution equal to 3% on any eligible compensation above the IRS Compensation Limit. These contributions are included in the "All Other Compensation" column totals for
2011 reported in the "Fiscal 2011 Summary Compensation Table" on page 56.
(3) Nonqualified deferred compensation balances earn fixed rates of interest. The rate for all account balances was fixed at 4.5% per annum for Fiscal 2011. The portion of the Fiscal 2011
earnings with respect to amounts credited to the NEOs' accounts under the Nonqualified Savings and Supplemental Retirement Plan as a result of their deferral contributions and
Company matching contributions (which were made in Fiscal 2011 and prior fiscal years) which are above-market for purposes of the applicable SEC Rules are included in the "Change
in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings" column totals for 2011 reported in the "Fiscal 2011 Summary Compensation Table" on page 56. These amounts
are included as part of the aggregate earnings reported in this "Aggregate Earnings in Fiscal 2011" column for: (a) Mr. Jeffries — $85,757; (b) Mr. Ramsden — $10,372; (c) Ms. Chang
— $23,972; (d) Ms. Herro — $40,362; and (e) Mr. Robins — $986.

Under the Nonqualified Savings and Supplemental Retirement Plan, the Company also made an annual retirement contribution in Fiscal 2011 equal to
4% of the amount by which the associate's base salary and cash payouts to be received under the Company's Incentive Plan exceed the IRS Compensation
Limit, which was $245,000 for calendar 2011. There is a one-year wait period following employment before these Company retirement contributions begin,
with the first retirement contribution then made by the Company at the end of the second year of employment. Participants become vested in Company
retirement contributions and earnings on those retirement contributions ratably over a five-year period.
