        <footnote id="F1">Represents 33,333 shares of restricted stock of the Company granted to Mr. Koeneke in connection with his election as Chairman of the Board.  The restrictions on all shares of such restricted stock shall lapse on August 6, 2009, assuming continued service by Mr. Koeneke as Chairman for the one-year period from August 6, 2008 to August 6, 2009.  In the event that Mr. Koeneke is involuntarily removed as Chairman of the Board prior to the one-year anniversary of his initial election as Chairman, the restrictions on all shares of the restricted stock shall lapse on August 6, 2009 if Mr. Koeneke continues to serve as a Director of the Company for that one-year period.  The restrictions on all shares of the restricted stock shall automatically and immediately lapse in the event of a change of control of the Company.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Except as provided above in the context of a change in control, if Mr. Koeneke ceases to be a Director of the Company during the one-year period after August 6, 2008, the restrictions on 8,333 shares of the restricted stock shall, at Mr. Koeneke's option, immediately lapse for each full 3-month period he served as a Director during such one-year period, and all remaining shares of the restricted stock subject to restrictions may, at the Company's option, be repurchased by the Company for the aggregate sum of ten dollars ($10.00).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">These shares are indirectly controlled through control of the general partner of Knightspoint Partners II, L.P., the beneficial owner of these Ashworth shares.</footnote>
