(1) Represents common stock underlying 2,501 restricted share units which shall vest in two equal installments on the second and third anniversaries of the grant date.
(2) Exercise Price was adjusted to reflect a 4.505 to 1 stock split that occurred with respect to the Issuer's common stock effective March 9, 2011.
(3) Shares have been adjusted to reflect a 4.505 to 1 stock split that occurred with respect to the Issuer's common stock effective March 9, 2011.
(4) On August 27, 2009, the reporting person was granted an option to purchase 22,525 shares of common stock. The option vests in equal increments of 20% at the end of fiscal years 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 if certain annual EBITDA performance targets are achieved, subject to "catch up" vesting, such that, options that were eligible to vest but failed to vest at the end of any year noted above will vest if at the end of any subsequent year or at the end of fiscal year 2014, the cumulative total EBITDA earned in all prior years exceeds the cumulative EBITDA target at the end of such fiscal year. The EBITDA performance criteria for 2012 was met, resulting in vesting of the option as to 4,505 shares.
(5) On February 8, 2012, the reporting person was granted 50,000 stock appreciation rights. The stock appreciation rights are eligible to vest in equal increments of up to 25% at the end of fiscal years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 based upon the extent to which certain EBITDA performance targets have been met for the applicable fiscal year. Based upon the Company's achievement with respect to the EBITDA performance criteria for 2012, 100% of the stock appreciation rights subject to such criteria vested, resulting in the vesting of 12,500 stock appreciation rights.
