        <footnote id="F1">Represents time-based vesting restricted stock that vests in 25% increments on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date, June 30, 2015.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Represents performance-based vesting restricted stock. Under the terms of the grant, 50% of the restricted stock will vest if the Company achieves Adjusted EBITDA of $78.5 million or greater in any of the 2016, 2017 or 2018 fiscal years, and (ii) 50% will vest if the Company achieves ROIC of 12.2% or greater in any of the 2016, 2017 or 2018 fiscal years. In the event that the Adjusted EBITDA criteria and/or ROIC criteria is not achieved, pro rata vesting of 50-100% of that portion of the award will occur if 2018 fiscal year Adjusted EBITDA is between $74.6 million and $78.5 million and/or ROIC is between 11.6% and 12.2%. As part of the grant, recipient has also received a performance right that entitles the recipient to receive additional shares of common stock (ranging from 0-50% of the amount of shares of restricted stock currently being granted) if 2018 fiscal year Adjusted EBITDA is between $78.5 million and $86.4 million and/or 2018 fiscal year ROIC is between 12.2% and 13.5%.</footnote>
