In the event the Company does not meet the 2007 Financial Target, between 100,000 and 200,000 Performance RSUs will vest on October 31, 2008 if the Company reports net income, as adjusted, per share that is within a range of $0.05 per share of the 2007 Financial Target. Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person reasonably promptly after October 31, 2008 if the reporting person remains employed with the Company on that date. Any Performance RSUs that are not vested and delivered will be cancelled.
(3) All 100,000 Performance RSUs will vest on October 31, 2008 if the 2007 Financial Target is met and the volume weighted average price ("VWAP") of the Company's shares (as reported on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE")) in the 10 trading days beginning with the second full trading day following the Company's announcement of financial results for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007 exceeds a pre-determined target set by the Company's Compensation Committee.

Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person reasonably promptly after October 31, 2009 if the reporting person remains employed with the Company on that date.

Vested shares will be delivered to the reporting person reasonably promptly after October 31, 2010 if the reporting person remains employed with the Company on that date.
