The restricted shares granted prior to February 23, 2011 vest ratably on the first through fifth anniversaries of the grant date. The restricted shares granted on February 23, 2011 vest ratably on the grant date and the first through fourth anniversaries of the grant date.  On April 29, 2011, 134,131 performance-based shares were granted which vest over four years based upon the attainment of (i) a specified operating income margin during any one or more of the fiscal years in the period beginning January 1, 2011 and ending December 31, 2014 and (ii) the attainment of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization targets during each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.  There is no vesting period on the right to vote or the right to receive dividends on any of the restricted shares.  The recognized restricted stock expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The unrecognized restricted stock expense under the LTIP as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $7.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively.</font></div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div align="left" style="text-indent: 0pt;

however, there is no vesting period on the right to vote or the right to receive dividends on these restricted shares.  Beginning in 2010, all new awards of common stock granted under the Non-Employee Directors Plan vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.  As of September 30, 2011, there were a total of 155,641 shares awarded less 5,035 shares canceled and 116,238 shares vested under the Non-Employee Directors Plan.  The recognized restricted stock expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.5 million, respectively.  The unrecognized restricted stock expense under the Non-Employee Directors Plan as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $0.3 million.</font></div><div style="text-indent: 0pt;

The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 4.75%.</font></div><div style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block;"><br /></div><div align="left" style="text-indent: 0pt; display: block; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt;"><font style="display: inline; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 10pt;">(b) The Company completed a sale and a leaseback of several facilities on December 28, 2001. The Company retains a continuing involvement in the lease and as a result it is prohibited from utilizing sale-leaseback accounting.
