(a) Reflects target and maximum dollar amounts payable under the Executive Incentive Plan for performance
during fiscal 2009, as described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Elements of Executive
Compensation Programs.” “Threshold” refers to the minimum amount payable for a certain level of
performance; “Target” refers to the amount payable if specified performance targets are reached; and
“Maximum” refers to the maximum payout possible. Mr. Bado’s amount in the “Target” column includes a
fiscal 2009 target Executive Incentive Plan award of $80,000, target commissions of $300,000 and target
sales bonus of $40,000. Mr. Bado’s maximum Executive Incentive Plan award is $152,000, or 190 percent
of his target award; his maximum sales bonus is $80,000, or 200% of his target bonus. Commissions do not
have a preset maximum limit. Mr. Castino’s amounts in the “Target” and “Maximum” columns represent
amounts potentially payable to him; however, because he resigned during fiscal 2009 he was ineligible to
receive an award under the fiscal 2009 Executive Incentive Plan.
(b) Under the terms of our Equity Incentive Deferral Plan, participants have the ability to defer a portion (up to
fifty percent) of their Executive Incentive Plan award as restricted stock units. The number of shares of stock
underlying restricted stock units granted for the deferred portion of the participant’s Executive Incentive Plan
award (“base RSUs”) is determined by dividing the amount of cash bonus deferred by the closing price of our
common shares on the grant date. These base RSUs are fully vested upon grant. In addition, participants who
have elected to defer a portion of their Executive Incentive Plan award as restricted stock units receive an
additional grant of restricted stock units (“premium RSUs”) at a rate of one share of premium RSUs for each
three shares of base RSUs granted. These premium RSUs fully vest on the third anniversary of the grant date.
The actual amounts awarded under our Executive Incentive Plan for fiscal 2009 were determined by the
Compensation Committee on March 12, 2009 and are reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan
Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table and Narrative Disclosure” above. The table
below reflects each Named Executive Officer’s decision to defer a portion of their Executive Incentive Plan
award under our Equity Incentive Deferral Plan and the resulting grants of restricted stock units. The stock
awards shown below reflect a closing price of our common stock on the grant date of $12.74.
