(a) Ms. Taylor and Mr. Scheid did not seek re-election to the Board of Directors at the 2007 Annual Meeting
held on July 6, 2007, and ceased to be directors on that date. Mr. Robel and Mr. West were appointed to the
Board of Directors on September 27, 2007 and Mr. Maloney and Ms. Nelson were appointed to the Board of
Directors on December 6, 2007.
(b) Reflects the portion of director’s fees earned that, upon prior election as discussed above, may be paid in
cash. Except as noted below, all of our non-employee directors elected to convert 100 percent of the cash
portion of their annual fees to restricted stock at a rate of $1.20 worth of stock for each $1.00 of cash
compensation. See footnote (d) for the grant date fair value of the restricted stock that they received as a
result of such election. As Messrs. Robel, West and Maloney and Ms. Nelson were appointed to the Board
of Directors after our June 6, 2008 board meeting, they received all of their compensation in cash, and the
amounts shown reflect the cash that they received, which was pro-rated for the portion of the year for which
they served.
(c) Reflects the fair value of director’s fees paid in stock, as discussed above, less the portion that may be paid
in cash.
(d) Represents the fair value of stock options vested during the fiscal year. The fair value of stock options
vested during a fiscal year is equal to the stock-based compensation expense recognized during the fiscal
year for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with FAS 123(R), disregarding an estimate of
forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The assumptions used in the valuation of these
awards are set forth in Note 1, “Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in our fiscal year 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 28,
2008. These amounts do not correspond to the actual value that will be realized by the directors upon
exercise or sale of such awards.
