( 2)  On June 10, 2014, the Reporting Person was granted PRUs with a target of 6,843 shares. The PRU provides that, depending on the Issuer's achievement of the performance criterion for fiscal 2015, 0% to 133% of the target shares will be eligible (the "Eligible Shares") to be earned at the end of fiscal 2016 and 2017, based on, and subject to further adjustment as a result of, the achievement of certain other performance criteria (but in no event will the Reporting Person earn less than 50% of the Eligible Shares), provided that the Reporting Person is employed by the Issuer through March 31, 2017. The performance criterion for fiscal 2015 was partially satisfied, resulting in 5,246 shares becoming Eligible Shares.
