(1) For fiscal year 2007, the amount shown represents discretionary bonuses awarded by the Compensation Committee. For fiscal
years 2008 and 2009, no such discretionary bonuses were made.
(2) Shown is the expense recognized in our financial statements for fiscal year 2009 under SFAS 123(R) for all outstanding option
awards held by each of the named executive officers. This amount is comprised of the portions of the fair values of options
awarded in fiscal year 2005, which were allocated to services provided by the named executive officers in fiscal year 2009. The
assumptions we used in calculating these amounts are incorporated herein by reference to Note 12 to Consolidated Financial
Statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(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 53.
(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 2, 2008 to August 1, 2009. This "change in the actuarial
value" is the difference between the fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2009 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 FAS 87, Employers' Accounting for Pensions as
described in Note 14 to the audited consolidated financial statements on page F-31 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
For fiscal year 2009, no earnings of each of the named executive officers in the KEDC plan exceeded 120 percent of the
applicable federal long-term rate.

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.
