F1: Grant of restricted stock units to the Reporting Person under the company's Executive Equity Incentive Plan. No amount was paid upon grant of the units. One quarter of the units are subject to time-based only vesting (the "Time-Based Units") and three quarters of the units are subject to a combination of performance and time-based vesting (the "Performance-Based Units"). The Time-Based Units vest 33-1/3% per year, beginning on November 6, 2014. The Performance-Based Units that are achieved based upon performance metrics measured for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014 will then vest over time as follows: 50% on November 6, 2015 and 50% on November 6, 2016.

F2: An initial grant of 18,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) reported on a Form 4 dated February 7, 2011 contained 9,000 RSUs subject to performance-based vesting requirements. The performance-based RSUs vested on November 6, 2013 at 33%, or 2,970 of the RSUs, based on the achievement of the performance criteria. This transaction represents the forfeiture of the remaining 67%, or 6,030 of the RSUs, that did not vest.

These RSUs were measured against the performance metrics on November 6, 2013 resulting in the achievement of 68%, or 17,850 of the RSUs, which will be subject to additional time-based vesting requirements. This transaction represents the forfeiture of the remaining 32%, or 8,400 of the RSUs.

F5: Forefeiture of shares by the reporting person to satisfy the reporting person's obligations with respect to withholding taxes in connection with the vesting on November 6, 2013 of 2,917 shares of restricted stock held by the reporting person.
