(1) Number of shares when converted from dollars to shares, which number is rounded up to the nearest whole share.
(2) Pursuant to the SEC rules, stock option awards are valued in accordance with ASC 718. See footnote 2 to the Summary Compensation
Table in this Proxy Statement.
Vesting of restricted stock awards depends on (i) the Company’s achievement of a performance-based test for the fiscal year
of the grant, and (ii) assuming the performance-based test is met, time vesting, subject in general to the executive remaining
in the Company’s employ on specific vesting dates. The performance-based test for fiscal 2010 was met. The performance test
is designed to meet the standard for performance-based compensation under the Code, so that restricted stock awards will be
deductible compensation for certain executives if their annual compensation exceeds $1,000,000. The stock awards granted in fis-
cal 2010 to Messrs. Eisenberg, Feinstein and Temares time vest in five equal installments starting on the first anniversary of the
grant date. The stock awards granted in fiscal 2010 to Messrs. Stark and Castagna time vest in five equal installments starting on
the third anniversary of the grant date.
Vesting of stock option awards depends on time vesting, subject in general to the executive remaining in the Company’s employ
on specific vesting dates. The options granted in fiscal 2010 to Messrs. Eisenberg and Feinstein vest in three equal installments
starting on the first anniversary of the grant date. The options granted in fiscal 2010 to Messrs. Temares, Stark and Castagna vest
in five equal installments starting on the first anniversary of the grant date. At the time of grant or thereafter, option awards and
underlying shares of common stock, are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except as the
Compensation Committee may permit.
