    A broker non-vote occurs when banks or brokerage firms holding
    shares on behalf of a shareholder do not receive voting
    instructions from the shareholder by a specified date before the
    Annual Meeting and do not have discretionary authority to vote
    those undirected shares on specified matters under applicable
    stock exchange rules. Pursuant to recent regulatory changes, the
    uncontested election of directors is no longer considered a
    discretionary matter, but the ratification of auditors is still
    a discretionary matter. As a result, if you are a beneficial
    owner and hold your shares in street name, but do not give your
    broker or other nominee instructions on how to vote your shares
    with respect to the election of directors or the ratification of
    our auditors, no votes will be cast on your behalf with respect
    to the election of directors, but your broker or nominee will be
    permitted to exercise discretionary authority to vote your
    shares with respect to the ratification of our selection of
    E&#038;Y as our independent registered public accounting firm.
    Shares with respect to which brokers do not have authority to
    vote may still be counted in determining whether a quorum is
    present.

    The Board of Directors of the Company is led by a Chairman of
    the Board and chairmen of the various Board committees. The
    Company has determined that it is appropriate for the Chairman
    of the Board to be an independent director, so that the same
    person does not fill the roles of chairman and chief executive
    officer. While such a dual role is permitted, the Company
    desires to establish a measure of board independence by
    appointing an independent director to serve as Chairman of the
    Board. If the CEO or another insider ever serves as Chairman of
    the Board in the future, we would anticipate that a Lead
    Independent Director, elected by the independent directors,
    would preside over executive sessions of the independent
    directors. In addition to preserving the independence of the
    Board of Directors as a whole, each of the committees of the
    Board of Directors is chaired by an independent director (and is
    comprised only of independent directors), in accordance with
    applicable exchange rules.

    The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors takes an active
    risk oversight role by meeting with the Company&#146;s senior
    management team on a regular basis and reviewing and approving
    key risk policies and risk tolerances. The Audit Committee is
    responsible for ensuring that the Company has in place a process
    for identifying, prioritizing, managing, and monitoring its
    critical risks. Furthermore, the Board, with input from the
    Audit Committee, regularly evaluates our management
    infrastructure, including personnel competencies and
    technologies and communications, to ensure that key risks are
    being properly evaluated and managed. Finally, the Compensation
    Committee of the Board reviews any risks associated with the
    Company&#146;s compensation practices. In the Compensation
    Committee&#146;s view, our compensation policies do not
    encourage risk-taking, in part because the compensation packages
    are weighted towards long-term vesting equity as opposed to cash
    or immediately vested equity awards.

    Consistent with the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market
    (&#147;Nasdaq&#148;) and the regulations promulgated by the
    Securities and Exchange Commission (&#147;SEC&#148;), a majority
    of the members of a listed company&#146;s board of directors
    must qualify as &#147;independent,&#148; as affirmatively
    determined by the board of directors. After review of all
    relevant transactions and relationships between each director,
    or any of his or her family members, and the Company, its senior
    management and its independent auditors, the Board affirmatively
    has determined that the following directors, constituting a
    majority of the Company&#146;s directors, are independent
    directors within the meaning of the applicable Nasdaq listing
    standards: Steven J. Collins, Carl T. Kirkland, R. Wilson
    Orr,&#160;III, Ralph T. Parks, Miles T. Kirkland, and Murray M.
    Spain. The Company&#146;s independent directors meet in
    regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only independent

    The Governance and Nominating Committee will consider director
    candidates who have relevant business experience, are
    accomplished in their respective fields, and who possess the
    skills and expertise to make a significant contribution to the
    Board of Directors, the Company and its shareholders. The
    Governance and Nominating Committee will consider nominees for
    election to the Board of Directors that are recommended by
    shareholders, provided that a complete description of the
    nominees&#146; qualifications, experience and background,
    together with a statement signed by each nominee in which he or
    she consents to act as such, accompany the recommendations. Such
    recommendations should be submitted in compliance with the
    procedures outlined on page&#160;25 under the heading
    &#147;Shareholder Proposals for the 2011 Annual Meeting.&#148;
    The Governance and Nominating Committee applies the same
    criteria to nominees recommended by shareholders as discussed

    In identifying prospective director candidates, the Governance
    and Nominating Committee may seek referrals from other members
    of the Board, management, stockholders and other sources. The
    Governance and Nominating Committee also may, but need not,
    retain a search firm in order to assist it in identifying
    candidates to serve as directors of the Company. The Governance
    and Nominating Committee utilizes the same criteria for
    evaluating candidates regardless of the source of the referral.
    When considering director candidates, the Governance and
    Nominating Committee seeks individuals with backgrounds and
    qualities that, when combined with those of our incumbent
    directors, provide a blend of skills and experience to further
    enhance the Board&#146;s effectiveness.

    were immediately exercisable. The options expire 10&#160;years
    from the date of the grant. Option awards consist of options to
    purchase Common Stock of the Company; this column sets forth the
    aggregate grant date fair value of such awards, calculated
    pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification
    Topic 718, <I>Compensation&#160;&#151; Stock Compensation

    Black-Scholes model, please refer to Note&#160;7 of our
    consolidated financial statements included within our Annual
    Report on
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">Form&#160;10-K</FONT>
    filed with the SEC on April&#160;15, 2010. Because the awards

    fair value of the awards as set forth above.

    In prior years, the Compensation Committee had surveyed retail
    companies of similar size in order to determine the adequacy and
    appropriateness of compensation to executives. During fiscal
    2006, the compensation committee engaged Mercer Human Resource
    Consulting, an independent compensation consultant, to evaluate
    the competitiveness of the Company&#146;s executive compensation
    program. Based on its evaluation, Mercer then compiled a peer
    group listing for the Company, which includes:

    As a result of the 2006 engagement and the data supplied by
    Mercer, we (i)&#160;made adjustments to certain senior
    management base salaries to ensure competitiveness and aid
    retention efforts, (ii)&#160;adjusted the annual cash incentive
    plan for senior management to be more heavily-weighted to
    overall company performance, and (iii)&#160;implemented an
    annual process for considering the granting of stock options or
    other equity incentives to senior management.

    Since that time, the Company&#146;s executive compensation
    programs have followed the same general approach established in
    2006. When the Compensation Committee has made adjustments to
    those programs, it has generally applied its own judgment rather
    than new compensation studies. The Compensation Committee did,
    however, re-engage Mercer in fiscal 2008 in connection with
    compensation adjustments made in that year, and Mercer then
    served to validate the soundness of the approach selected by the
    Compensation Committee (which approach was a refinement of the
    approach established with Mercer&#146;s input in 2006). Since
    2008, the Compensation Committee has, in the course of its
    deliberations, referred from time to time to updated data from
    the peer group previously identified by Mercer, but it has not
    sought additional formal input from Mercer or other consultants.

    Accordingly, while the Compensation Committee has sought input
    from compensation consultants in the past and may do so again in
    the future, the advice of such consultants is not central to the
    Company&#146;s executive compensation process or philosophy.
    Rather, the Company&#146;s executive compensation process and
    philosophy are driven primarily by the experience and judgment
    of the Compensation Committee&#146;s members.

    The Committee believes that a significant portion of total
    compensation for our executives should be allocated to equity
    incentives that align pay with shareholder value. In addition,
    cash bonuses are available to reward executives for achieving

    The Compensation Committee strives to ensure that the base
    salary of company executives and senior management is at or
    approaching the market median for each position. We benchmark
    base salaries to those of our peers to ensure that we remain
    competitive. The base salary levels for our named executive
    officers also reflect upon individual performance and
    responsibility. Based upon the review of peer group data, the
    base salary levels approved by the Compensation Committee for
    named executive officers are at or slightly below the average
    salary levels of the peer group.

    Our cash bonus program has been designed to provide a short-term

    For fiscal 2009, the bonus targets for the named executive
    officers were 50% of base salary for Ms.&#160;Graul, 75% of base
    salary for Mr.&#160;Madden and 100% of base salary for
    Mr.&#160;Alderson. These bonus targets were determined by the
    Compensation Committee by reference to our review of the 2008
    peer group analysis performed by our compensation consultant.
    For fiscal 2009, the bonuses for Mr.&#160;Alderson and
    Mr.&#160;Madden were based entirely on Company performance
    goals. Ms.&#160;Graul became a named executive officer in
    January 2010, after her fiscal 2009 bonus targets had already
    been determined by our Chief Executive Officer. Therefore, her
    fiscal 2009 bonus was based on both an individual goal and a
    Company performance goal. The payout of Ms.&#160;Graul&#146;s
    fiscal 2009 bonus was approved by the Compensation Committee
    since she was a named executive officer at that time.
    Ms.&#160;Graul&#146;s fiscal 2010 bonus targets will be
    determined by the Compensation Committee and any bonus payable
    to Ms.&#160;Graul relating to fiscal 2010 will be based entirely
    on Company performance goals. Ms.&#160;Graul&#146;s fiscal 2009
    bonus was based on the following:

    for interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (determined
    without regard to the expenses associated with the payment of
    bonuses under the 2008 Incentive Plan) (&#147;EBITDA&#148;) as

    The Company&#146;s financial results for fiscal 2009 represented
    a significant improvement over prior year results, the strongest
    earnings performance for the Company since going public in 2002,
    and the return to an EBIT margin performance that is near the
    top in the home d&#233;cor sector of retail. The non-equity
    incentive plan compensation of our named executive officers
    during 2009 (Mr.&#160;Alderson and Mr.&#160;Madden, see
    page&#160;16)&#160;was based entirely on the achievement of
    company financial performance goals, namely certain levels of
    EBIT. Given the level of performance the Company achieved during
    fiscal 2009, these incentive bonuses were maximized at 150% of
    the individual&#146;s bonus target. These results demonstrate
    the effectiveness of the Company&#146;s bonus and non-equity
    incentive plans, which are designed to support the
    Company&#146;s overall goal of maximizing long-term financial
    results and shareholder value.

    Equity awards are evaluated on an annual basis and upon the
    hiring of selected senior executives. Special circumstances may
    dictate an equity award grant on a one-time basis other than in
    connection with a new hire, but these situations are rare. There
    were no such special circumstances and related equity grants in
    fiscal 2009. The exercise price of each equity award is based on
    the closing price of our common stock on the date of the grant
    (if not a business day, the immediately preceding business day)
    as defined under our 2002 Equity Incentive Plan. For newly hired
    employees receiving equity awards, the grant of such award
    occurs on the later of the first day of employment or upon
    Compensation Committee approval, with the exercise price being
    based upon the closing price of our common stock on such date.

    The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, evaluates
    potential equity awards primarily based on the number of shares
    to be allocated in relation to the number of shares outstanding,
    with additional consideration given to the value of the award in
    relation to total compensation. The Committee continually
    evaluates the type of equity award that is appropriate at the
    given time in response to changing business conditions with a
    goal of providing the type of equity award most appropriate to
    provide the right balance between the incentive for retention
    and the long-term commitment to improve financial performance
    and shareholder value. Equity awards have vesting requirements
    and terms that are similar among the recipients of the awards,
    providing incentives for employees to stay with the Company and
    work together to achieve common goals. Stock option awards
    typically provide for three-year vesting, with one-third vesting
    on the first anniversary of the grant date, and the remainder
    vesting over the succeeding eight quarters. Restricted stock
    unit awards provide for three-year &#147;cliff&#148; vesting.
    Given his importance to the Company and to encourage his
    continued service, the grant of 110,000 stock options to
    Mr.&#160;Alderson made on June&#160;8, 2009 carried a vesting
    term of 2&#160;years with one half of the grant vesting at the
    first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining half
    vesting over the succeeding four quarters.

    Our Compensation Committee is keenly aware that compensation
    arrangements, if not properly structured, may encourage
    inappropriate risk-taking. In designing our compensation
    programs, the Compensation Committee seeks to mitigate such risk
    by (i)&#160;providing a meaningful portion of total compensation
    in the form of equity incentives that vest over multiple years,
    and (ii)&#160;capping annual cash bonuses for NEO&#146;s at
    150%, 112.5% and 68.8% of base salary for Mr.&#160;Alderson,
    Mr.&#160;Madden and Ms.&#160;Graul, respectively. Each of these
    elements is intended to encourage an appropriately long-term
    focus. Moreover, while we have not implemented a stock ownership
    guideline for our management team, we note that
    Mr.&#160;Alderson, our Chief Executive Officer, already
    maintains a substantial direct stock ownership position; we
    believe that his ownership position provides a significant
    incentive for him to ensure that his actions, and the actions of
    his team, are focused on the creation of sustainable stockholder
    value and the avoidance of excessive risk.

    The Company leases 11,700&#160;square feet of retail real estate
    located in the Columns development in Jackson, Tennessee from
    Vann Drive Partners, a joint venture in which Carl Kirkland, a
    member of our Board of Directors, and Robert Alderson, our
    President and Chief Executive Officer and member of our Board of
    Directors, hold minority equity positions. The term of the lease
    commenced in May 2004 and continues for an initial period of
    5&#160;years, with two
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">5-year</FONT>
    renewal options. The Company exercised the first
    <FONT style="white-space: nowrap">5-year</FONT>
    renewal option. The lease provides for minimum rental payments
    of $12,000 per month. The lease also provides for the payment of
    customary additional charges, including taxes and insurance. In
    fiscal 2009, the Company paid total rent and ancillary charges
    under the lease of $163,853. This lease has been reviewed and
    approved by our Board of Directors and Audit Committee.
    Management considers the terms of this lease to be at arms
    length and reasonably equivalent to terms we could have obtained
    through negotiations with an unaffiliated third party.
