Footnotes

F1: Mr. Clayton was awarded these restricted stock units on May 28, 2009. They had a vesting schedule of one year from the date of the award. Since Mr. Clayton has resigned from the company before May 28, 2010, he forfeits the right to receive these restricted units and they are therefore cancelled.
