PART III.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

As previously
disclosed, in connection with his retirement Dan W. Matthias, our former Chief Executive Officer, entered into a Transition Agreement with us at the conclusion of fiscal year 2008 to reflect his new role as the non-executive Chairman of the Board of
Directors and as an advisor to management. The Transition Agreement has a term of four years commencing on October 1, 2008. Under the Transition Agreement, and in consideration of his advisory and board services and in lieu of all other fees or
equity awards for his service as a director, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Matthias an annual retainer of $200,000 and to continue certain insurance and fringe benefit coverage for Mr. Matthias. The Transition Agreement also amended
Mr. Matthias Supplemental Retirement Agreement (the SERP) (i) to provide for full vesting of the benefits payable to Mr. Matthias, (ii) to increase the total amount payable under the SERP to approximately 10%
more than the amount that would have been payable on September 30, 2012 (the date benefits under the SERP otherwise would have vested), and (iii) to provide for payments over four years (in lieu of payment in an immediate lump sum). In the
event that Mr. Matthias dies or a change in control occurs before all the foregoing installments of the SERP have been paid, the unpaid installments will then be accelerated and paid in an immediate lump sum. For a further discussion of the
SERP and the modifications to the SERP resulting from the Transition Agreement, see the information provided under Pension Benefits for Fiscal Year 2008 in our Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on December 15, 2008.

Subsequent to the conclusion of fiscal year 2009, Mr. Matthias entered into a Letter Agreement with the Company whereby
he agreed not to seek re-election to the Board of Directors at the January 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Matthias and the Company agreed that, for purposes of the Transition Agreement, Mr. Matthias would be treated as if he
sought re-election to the Board of Directors but was not re-elected. Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the Transition Agreement, Mr. Matthias would still be entitled to the annual retainer and to theinsurance and fringe benefit coverage
described above until October 1, 2012 in consideration of the advisory services.

Pursuant to the above, for fiscal year
2010 Mr. Matthias received the following compensation: (a) $900,000 in payments under the SERP; (b) $200,000 in payments for the annual retainer under the Transition Agreement; (c) $17,788 for automobile lease payments and
related expenses under the Transition Agreement; (d) $2,680 for life insurance premiums under the Transition Agreement; and (e) $3,862 as reimbursement for tax preparation services under the Transition Agreement.
