Initial grant of 10,000 time-based vesting shares for Mr. Golden and Mr. Zwilling, with 25% vesting on March 31 of each of 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, subject to employment as of the vesting date. Mr. Prengel’s 10,000 shares consist of time-based vesting shares, with 25% vesting on March 31 of each 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, subject to employment as of the vesting date.

Each of our named executive officers were granted 90,000 performance-based vesting shares (the “Performance-Vested Shares”), with 22,500 of the Performance-Vested Shares vesting on March 31 of each of 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, provided that as of each such vesting date our consolidated return on operating income for the preceding fiscal year as a percent of average working capital (excluding discontinued operations) is equal to or greater than 6%, with respect to the 2010 and 2011 fiscal years, and 8%, with respect to the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years. In the event the performance target is not met in a given year, the shares that would otherwise have vested in that year will be rolled forward to the next year and will vest simultaneously with the shares already allocated for that subsequent year should we exceed that year’s target by an amount sufficient to cover the prior year’s or years’ cumulative shortfall. This rollover mechanism will permit shares to be carried forward over multiple years until the expiration of the plan. The 2010 target was not met, and therefore, 22,500 of the Performance-Vested Shares were rolled forward to the next year.

The market value of the stock award is determined by multiplying the number of shares times $3.75, the closing price of our common stock on the OTC Markets (formerly known as “Pink Sheets”) under the symbol “HAMP.PK” on December 31, 2010, the last day of our fiscal year.
