| (1) | Acquired through Employee Stock Purchase and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. |
| (2) | Each Performance Award Unit represented the right to receive one common share. The number of units initially awarded was a target (as shown in Table II), and the actual number of units that vested and converted to shares (which could range from 0 shares to twice the target number of shares) was based upon: a) the Company's revenue growth as compared to a defined Peer Group and, b) the Company maintaining an acceptable level of profitability during the performance period which ended on September 30, 2010. Based on the Company's performance, the units converted into a number of shares equal to the target number. |
| (3) | Shares issuable upon vesting of Performance Award Units were withheld to settle associated tax liabilities. |
| (4) | Date reported applies to 50% of total, one-half of the balance is then exercisable in each succeeding year. |
| (5) | Option became fully vested on August 10, 2005 |
| (6) | Option became fully vested on February 15, 2005 |
| (7) | Restricted unit awards will become fully vested on February 6, 2013. Common shares represented by such vested restricted unit awards will be delivered promptly after such vesting date. |
| (8) | Date applies to 50% of total, remaining balance is exercisable the following year on anniversary date |
| (9) | Each Performance Award Unit represents a right to receive one common share. The number of units comprising the initial award are adjusted (ranging from a maximum of twice the number of units comprising the initial award, to a minimum of no units), based on award program metrics that compare the Company's total shareholder return performance occurring during the Measurement Period to comparable total shareholder return performance reported by companies in the Russell Microcap Index. Awarded units earned based on these metrics as of September 30, 2012 (the vesting date) are converted to shares under the Plan and will be issued on or before December 31, 2012. |
| (10) | Restricted unit awards will become fully vested on December 4, 2013. Common Shares represented by such vested restricted unit awards will be delivered promptly after such vesting date. |
