(2) Each named executive officer deferred under the CDP a portion of his or her fiscal 2012 and, except for
Mr. Sparks, fiscal 2011 salaries reported above. Each of Messrs. Dreiling and Tehle and Ms. Lanigan also
deferred under the CDP a portion of his or her fiscal 2010 salary reported above. Each named executive

portion of his or her fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010 salaries reported above. The amounts of the fiscal 2012 salary
deferrals under the CDP are included in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table.
(3) The amounts reported represent the respective aggregate grant date fair value of performance share units
awarded to the applicable named executive officer in the fiscal year indicated, as well as the aggregate grant
date fair value of the performance-based restricted stock awarded to Mr. Dreiling in fiscal 2012, in each case
computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The performance share units and the performance-based
restricted stock are subject to performance conditions, and the reported value at the grant date is based upon
the probable outcome of such conditions. The values of the awards at the grant date assuming that the
highest level of performance conditions will be achieved are as follows: $3,602,534 for Mr. Dreiling’s
performance share units and $14,753,174 for his performance-based restricted stock, and $590,965 for each of
the other named executive officers’ performance share units. Information regarding the assumptions made in
the valuation of these awards is set forth in see Note 11 of the annual consolidated financial statements in
our 2012 Form 10-K.
(4) The amounts reported represent the respective aggregate grant date fair value of stock options awarded to

the annual consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Form 10-K.
