| · | More than 60% of the total direct compensation (i.e., salary, annual cash incentives and equity) of our named executive officers was composed of performance-based compensation. |
|--------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Annual cash incentives are earned based on performance against pre-established corporate financial metrics and, for certain named executive officers, against individual qualitative performance goals. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | For the 2012 performance year, the Committee changed the structure of awards under the annual cash incentive plan by: |
|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| • | Introducing earnings per share ("EPS") as a third corporate financial performance metric, in addition to operating income and operating cash flow; |
|---------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| • | Changing the weighting of the corporate financial performance metrics to increase the emphasis on profitability, as measured by EPS and operating income, and to reduce the emphasis on operating cash flow; and |
|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| • | Increasing the threshold financial performance goal for operating income that must be achieved for payment of an incentive cash award to 75% of budget, from 70%. |
|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Our corporate performance with respect to operating cash flow was well above the budgeted target, and our corporate performance with respect to operating income was below the budgeted target but above the threshold goal, which resulted in the payment of annual cash incentive awards to our named executive officers ranging from 104% to 107% of target. |
|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | Our primary long-term equity incentive program consists of performance-contingent restricted stock grants.  Vesting of 50% of the shares depends on achievement of three-year cumulative operating cash flow targets.  The remaining 50% is contingent on our three-year total shareholder return performance compared to a peer group of apparel, retail and footwear companies. |
|--------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| · | 50% of the shares granted in 2010 were earned based on cumulative operating cash flow performance for 2010 through 2012, but since we did not achieve our objectives with respect to our cumulative total shareholder return performance for that period relative to that of our peer companies, 50% of the performance-contingent shares were forfeited. |

| · | Assist us to successfully attract, retain, and motivate executives who enable us to achieve high standards of consumer satisfaction and operational excellence; and |

| · | Hold our executives accountable, offer rewards for successful results and produce value for our shareholders over the long term. |

| Annual cash incentive                   |   | · Pays cash awards if financial and, if applicable, individual performance objectives are achieved. · Target awards were established so that total target annual cash compensation levels would be in line with the peer group (described below under "Market Data Used to Assess Compensation") when current base salaries are taken into account. · Annual cash incentives were earned based on performance against three corporate financial metrics: operating income, operating cash flow and EPS, and for certain named executive officers, against individual qualitative performance goals.  |   | · Target awards for named executive officers ranged from 50% to 100% of salary. · Our corporate performance with respect to operating cash flow was well above the budgeted target, and our corporate performance with respect to each of operating income and EPS was below the budgeted target but above the threshold goal. · Named executive officers earned cash awards ranging from 104% to 107% of target.                                                                                                                               |
| Performance-contingent restricted stock |   | · Granted to align the interests of our executives with the interests of our stockholders. · Value of awards depends on our stock price performance and the number of shares earned depends on the degree of achievement of three-year total shareholder return and three-year operating cash flow objectives. · Retains our executives through three-year cliff vesting requirements.                                                                                                                                                                                                               |   | · Restricted stock awards to individual named executive officers ranged from $258,750 to $4 million, based on the closing price of our stock on the date of grant.  The shares will vest in February 2015 if and to the extent corporate financial performance goals for the period from 2012 to 2014 are achieved. · Only 50% of shares awarded in 2010 vested in February 2013, because cumulative total shareholder return goals for the period from 2010 to 2012 were not achieved, although cumulative operating cash flow goals were achieved. |

| · | Housing Allowance and Tax Gross-Up Payments: We rent an apartment in New York City for Mr. Card's use because his primary residence is not within commuting distance from our New York headquarters.  We pay a tax gross-up to cover the taxable income attributable to Mr. Card's apartment.  This allows him to actually receive the full benefit that we intended to deliver.  The allowance and tax gross-up were negotiated conditions to his retention that went into effect in 2002. |

| · | Temporary Living Allowance and Tax Gross-Up Payments:  Mr. Dickson's primary residence is in California.  From January through April 2012, we provided an allowance for temporary living expenses incurred by Mr. Dickson in New York City, together with a tax-gross up payment to cover the taxable income attributable to the allowance. |

| (3) | Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718.  Amounts include both time-based restricted stock awards and restricted stock awards subject to performance conditions.  For additional information concerning the restricted stock awards made to our named executive officers in 2012, see "Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2012."  The values for restricted stock awards subject to performance conditions are computed based on 100% achievement of each performance condition.  The values for restricted stock awards subject to market conditions are computed based on the results of a simulation that assesses the probability of vesting.  Assumptions used in the valuation of equity-based awards are discussed in "Summary of Accounting Policies - Restricted Stock" and "Stock Options and Restricted Stock" in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. |

|  (1) | Our named executive officers participate in the 2007 Executive Annual Cash Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan").  Under its provisions, annual incentive awards payable in cash for a particular fiscal year may be granted to executive officers who are deemed likely to be "covered employees" as defined in the Incentive Plan and other key employees designated by the Compensation Committee and, in each case, who are approved by the Compensation Committee for participation.  The performance factors applicable to awards under the Incentive Plan are determined by the Compensation Committee and communicated to each participant by the end of the first quarter of each performance period.  Individual awards for any performance period may not exceed $3.0 million.  The Incentive Plan is discussed in greater detail under the heading "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Annual Cash Incentive."  As discussed under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Annual Cash Incentive," in the first quarter of 2012, the Compensation Committee established financial performance goals for 2012 cash awards to Mr. Card, Mr. Dickson, Mr. McClain, Mr. Dansky and Mr. Cade under the Incentive Plan.  For participants with corporate responsibility, including Mr. Card, Mr. Dickson, Mr. McClain, Mr. Dansky and Mr. Cade, the goals were based on 2012 operating income, operating cash flow and earnings per share.  In addition, for Mr. McClain, Mr. Dansky and Mr. Cade, the metrics included performance against individual qualitative goals.  See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Annual Cash Incentive - Annual Cash Incentive Structure for 2012 Performance Year."  Our performance relative to those goals was assessed in the first quarter of 2013, and the resulting cash awards paid to the named executive officers are included in the 2012 Summary Compensation Table under "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation." |

| (2) | Represents grants of shares of restricted common stock under our 2009 Long Term Incentive Plan.  During the vesting period, the executives are the beneficial owners of the shares of restricted stock and possess all voting and dividend rights.  Dividends are paid on shares of restricted stock at the same rate and at the same time as dividends are paid to all holders of common stock, except that dividends with respect to performance-based awards are accumulated but not paid out to the grantee unless and until the performance award vests.  During 2012, the quarterly dividend rate was $0.05 per share. |
|-----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| (3) | The restricted stock granted is subject to Jones' financial performance and time-based vesting conditions.  50% of the shares are eligible to vest if we achieve a cumulative operating cash flow target for the period January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014.  For achievement of between 80% and 100% of the target amount, a proportionate number of shares (between 50% and 100%) will be eligible to vest.  The remaining 50% are eligible to vest if we achieve a certain cumulative total shareholder return for the period January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014 as compared to a specified peer group of publicly-traded companies.  If our total shareholder return for this period is in the 50th or more percentile rank, 100% of the shares will vest; if the total shareholder return is in the 40th to 49th percentile rank, 75% of these shares will vest; and if the total shareholder return is between the 30th and 39th percentile rank, 50% of these shares will vest.  Interpolation applies for intermediate points.  If the financial targets are achieved, the shares eligible for vesting would vest on the second business day immediately following our public announcement of fourth quarter financial results for 2014. |

| (1) | Includes shares for which the named person has either sole or shared voting and investment power.  Excludes shares of restricted stock and shares that can be acquired through the exercise of options.  Also excludes "share units" (i.e., phantom stock) under our Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors.  Under that plan, non-management directors can elect to have the value of deferred amounts of all or a portion of their annual retainer and meeting attendance fees paid out based on an assumed investment in our Common Stock.  The participants making that election do not have any right to vote or to receive Common Stock in connection with the assumed investments of the deferred amounts, and they are ultimately paid out in cash, but the assumed investments do represent an economic interest in our Common Stock.  Such accounts are credited with additional share units for cash dividends paid on our Common Stock.  Mr. Crotty has been credited with 19,391.959 share units under the plan as of April 1, 2013.  See footnote 2 to the 2012 Director Compensation table. |
