<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">(3)</font><font size="1" style="font-size:3.0pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; </font><i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Guest Satisfaction Scores</font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">.&#160; While we have disclosed to our investors in the past whether our guest satisfaction scores have improved in general, we have not at any time in the past disclosed to the public our target or actual scores, and have no plans in the future to do so, because we believe that doing so would cause us serious competitive harm in a number of ways.&#160; First, we retain the services of a third party vendor to assess our guests&#146; level of satisfaction.&#160; Many of our direct competitors also retain the services of this third party vendor whose methodology is used in the same fashion to assess our competitors&#146; performance against the same criteria.&#160; Our vendor provides us with our scores on a regular basis and is under a contractual obligation not to disclose our scores to anyone other than us.&#160; As such, this information is highly proprietary.&#160; Also, public disclosure of such scores could adversely affect consumer perception of our restaurants and harm our business.&#160; For example, if our scores were not perceived by consumers as being at an acceptable level, they may choose not to dine in our restaurants. In addition, if we disclose our scores and our competitors choose not to do so, we would be at a competitive disadvantage since consumers would have no point of reference with which to compare our scores to those of our competitors.&#160; Finally, disclosure of such scores could affect the validity and reliability of our vendor&#146;s methodology in that expectations of our guests&#146; experiences at our restaurants could be altered and their responses to guest satisfaction surveys colored by reference to those scores.&#160; Therefore, we have not provided the specific target or actual achievement related to this performance goal.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><i><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-style:italic;">Performance Targets for Fiscal 2010.</font></i><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#160; Our performance targets for fiscal 2010 are similar in nature to those for fiscal 2009 in that they include an operating income target and additional strategic initiatives as qualified by a minimum operating income target.&#160; The four strategic initiatives for fiscal 2010 are: (i) operating margin greater than the mean for an internally defined peer group; (ii) an improvement in our guest satisfaction scores; (iii) specific comparable store sales performance versus fiscal 2009; and (iv) acceptable progress related to the implementation of certain enhancements to our information technology infrastructure. We expect to disclose the target goal and actual results with respect to items (i) (operating margins) and (iii) (comparable store sales).&#160; We expect our disclosure with respect to item (ii) (guest satisfaction scores) will be substantially similar in nature to the disclosure regarding that item for fiscal 2009 as set forth above.&#160; With respect to item (iv) (our information technology infrastructure goal), we believe that disclosure of specific enhancements to our systems would cause us serious competitive harm in that our competitors could derive from that disclosure material cost reduction opportunities and the degree to which our infrastructure strategy provides either a competitive advantage or disadvantage. In addition, such disclosure would require a description of highly technical software and hardware upgrades, and would be lengthy and beyond the technical understanding of most readers. As a result, we plan to disclose the general nature of our infrastructure improvement efforts and whether the Compensation Committee has determined that the goal has been achieved for fiscal 2010.</font></p>
