contributions to the Company&#146;s 401(k) retirement savings plan on behalf of the individual executive officers during the fiscal year. The Company&#146;s 401(k) retirement savings plan has a maximum matching contribution per employee of $10,000
per calendar year. However, the amounts accrued and expensed in any one fiscal year for the Company&#146;s matching contribution to the 401(k) retirement savings plan for the benefit on an employee can vary from the calendar year limit due to timing
of employee contributions during the applicable calendar years and the fact that the plan year is based on a period that does not coincide with the Company&#146;s fiscal year. The amounts accrued for the Company&#146;s matching contribution at the
Company&#146;s fiscal year end are based on the individual participant&#146;s salary deferral elections during the Company&#146;s fiscal year. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

Compensation Levels </B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company has always sought to attract and retain qualified executives and employees able to positively
contribute to the success of the Company for the benefit of its various stakeholders, most importantly shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation
Committee (in establishing compensation levels for the President and Chief Executive Officer) and the Company (in establishing compensation levels for other executives) considers many factors, including, but not limited to, the individual&#146;s
abilities and executed performance that results in: the advancement of corporate goals of the Company, execution of the Company&#146;s business strategies, contributions to positive financial results, and contributions to the development of the
management team and other employees. An officer must demonstrate his or her ability to deliver results in his or her areas of responsibility, which can include, among other things: business development with new and existing customers, development of
new products, efficient management of operations and systems, implementation of appropriate changes and improvements to operations and systems, personnel management, financial management, and strategic decision making. In determining compensation
levels, the Compensation Committee and the Company also consider: competitiveness of compensation packages relative to other comparable companies, both inside and outside of the fiber optic and connectivity industries, and experience of the
individual. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Compensation levels for executive officers are generally reviewed annually, but may be reviewed more often as deemed

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee annually engages an outside consultant to gather and analyze compensation data in order to establish comparable ranges of base
compensation and targeted short- and long-term variable compensation ranges for similarly situated companies. Compensation data is gathered from proxies for publicly-traded companies in similar industries and/or of a similar size and complexity.
Additionally, compensation data is gathered from published compensation surveys of companies of similar size and complexity&#150;which includes data from both publicly-traded and privately-held companies. The compensation data from these two sources
is blended to provide a benchmark used for the purpose of evaluating appropriate compensation ranges for base compensation and targeted short- and long-term variable compensation of key management personnel. Data from published compensation surveys
is more heavily weighted in this analysis because that data reflects a heavier concentration of similarly sized companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Compensation of Executive

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company uses long-term incentive equity grants to provide appropriate incentives to key employees to accomplish the Company&#146;s strategic goals and build long-term shareholder value, to strengthen the desire of
such key employees to remain with the Company, and to align the personal financial interests of such key employees with those of the Company&#146;s shareholders. The Compensation Committee believes that equity awards are particularly appropriate in
light of the nature of the Company&#146;s business and long-term business plans. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Long-term equity incentive grants are made pursuant to
the Optical Cable Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee receives recommendations from the President and Chief Executive Officer for employees (other than the President and Chief Executive Officer) eligible to receive
long-term equity incentive grants. The Compensation Committee reviews the recommendations ensuring that proposed long-term equity incentive grants are consistent with accomplishing the Company&#146;s long-term objectives, and approves all long-term
equity incentive grants made to employees (proposing and approving long-term equity incentive grants for the President and Chief Executive Officer). Individual performance and Company performance are considered in awarding long-term incentive equity
compensation. The Compensation Committee moved toward granting restricted stock awards in recent years, with no stock options being awarded since June 2002. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Stock Incentive Plans and Non-Employee Directors Stock Plans</I>. Generally, the Timing Policy anticipates annual equity grants for key employees to occur on the first business day of April. During fiscal year 2008, the Company granted restricted
stock awards under the Optical Cable Corporation 2005 Stock Incentive Plan to key employees on October&nbsp;22, 2008. The restricted stock awards were not granted on April&nbsp;1, 2008 pursuant to the Timing Policy, after consultation with advisors,

imposes a $1 million limit on the amount of compensation that may be deducted by the Company for a taxable year with respect to each of the Chief Executive Officer and the four most highly compensated executive officers of the Company.
Performance-based compensation (such as compensation pursuant to the 1996 and 2005 Stock Incentive Plans), if it meets certain requirements, is not subject to the deduction limit. The Compensation Committee has reviewed the impact of
Section&nbsp;162(m) on the Company and believes that it is unlikely that the compensation paid to any of the executive officers during the current fiscal year will be deemed to exceed the limit. Furthermore, the 1996 and 2005 Stock Incentive Plans
generally are designed to comply with the requirements of the performance-based compensation exception for the $1 million limit. The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor the impact of the Section&nbsp;162(m) limit on the Company and to
assess alternatives for avoiding any loss of tax deductions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>
