<P align=justify><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman">Under the terms of the settlement
agreement entered into between the Company and Starboard Value, L.P. and certain
of its affiliates in July 2014, if the Company failed to achieve certain
objectives under its fiscal year 2015 business plan previously agreed between
the Company and Starboard, then Starboard would have been entitled to
nominate two additional directors to the Company&#146;s board of directors following
the release of the Company&#146;s results for fiscal year 2015. The Company achieved
all of the agreed business plan objectives. As a result, under the terms of the
settlement agreement, the standstill provisions of the agreement automatically
extended for an additional year, until a specified date prior to the deadline
for the submission of stockholder nominations for the Company&#146;s 2016 annual
meeting, and Starboard is not entitled to nominate additional directors. The
Company remains obligated, if requested by Starboard prior to the nomination
deadline for the Company&#146;s 2015 annual meeting, to re-nominate each of the four
Starboard nominees (or any lesser number requested by Starboard) for election to
the board of directors at the 2015 annual meeting, so long as Starboard remains
the beneficial owner of the minimum number of shares of Common Stock specified
in the agreement. </FONT></P>
