Footnotes:
(1) For fiscal year 2010, the amount shown represents discretionary bonuses awarded by the Compensation Committee.
(2) For new option awards in fiscal year 2010, these amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value for the awards computed
in accordance with ASC Topic 718. For option awards in fiscal year 2010 made in connection with the Modification
Transactions, these amounts reflect the incremental aggregate grant date fair value of the modified awards over the grant date
fair value of the original awards. The assumptions used in calculating these amounts are described under the caption Stock-
Based Compensation in Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-25 of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K. No stock option awards were made in fiscal years 2009 and 2008 to the named executive officers.
These amounts reflect the grant date fair value and do not represent the actual value that may be realized by the named
executive officers.
(3) The amounts reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column reflect the actual amounts earned under the
bonus plan described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section beginning on page 54.
(4) The amounts in this column represent the change in the actuarial value of the named executive officers' benefits under our
retirement and supplemental executive retirement plans from August 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010. This "change in the actuarial
value" is the difference between the fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year 2010 present value of the pension benefits accumulated as
of year-end by the named executive officers, assuming that benefit is not paid until age 65. These amounts were computed
using the same assumptions used for financial statement reporting purposes under ASC Subtopic 715-30, "Defined Benefit
Plans — Pension" as described in Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-29 of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For fiscal year 2010, no earnings of each of the named executive officers in the KEDC plan exceeded 120 percent of the
applicable federal long-term rate.
(5) Includes all items listed in the following table entitled "All Other Compensation." In the interest of transparency, the value of
perquisites and other personal benefits is provided in this column and in the footnotes below even if the amount is less than
the reporting threshold established by the SEC.
The table below sets forth all other compensation for each of the named executive officers.
