Xerium Technologies, Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1. Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Xerium Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of two types of consumable products used primarily in the production of paper – clothing and roll covers. Its operations are strategically located in the major paper-making regions of the world, including North America, Europe, South America and Asia-Pacific.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements at September 30, 2012 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. In management’s opinion, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods presented. These unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 as reported on the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 14, 2012.

Accounting Policies

Inventories, net

Inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Raw materials are valued principally on a weighted average cost basis. The Company’s work in process and finished goods are specifically identified and valued based on actual inputs to production. Provisions are recorded as appropriate to write-down obsolete and excess inventory to estimated net realizable value. The process for evaluating obsolete and excess inventory often requires management to make subjective judgments and estimates concerning future sales levels, quantities and prices at which such inventory will be able to be sold in the normal course of business, while considering the general aging of inventory and factoring in any new business conditions. The components of inventories are as follows at:

	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Raw materials	$	17,256	$	19,872
Work in process	23,514		26,326
Finished goods (includes consigned inventory of $9,943 in 2012 and $12,953 in 2011)	39,266		37,119
	$	80,036	$	83,317

Goodwill

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“Topic 350”). Topic 350 requires that goodwill and intangible assets that have indefinite lives not be amortized, but instead, must be tested for impairment at least annually or whenever events or business conditions warrant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company evaluated events and business conditions to determine if a test for an impairment of goodwill was warranted. No such events or business conditions took place during this period, therefore no test was determined to be warranted at September 30, 2012.

Warranties

The Company offers warranties on certain products that it sells. The specific terms and conditions of these warranties vary depending on the product sold, the country in which the product is sold and arrangements with the customer. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its warranties and records a liability for such costs. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, cost per

6

claim and new product introduction. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty claims and adjusts the amounts as necessary. The table below represents the changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:

	Balance at December 31, 2011		Charged to Revenue or Cost of Sales		Effect of Foreign Currency Translation			Deduction from Reserves			Balance at September 30, 2012
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012	$	2,121	$	966	$	(20	)	$	(1,252	)	$	1,815

Notes Payable

In July of 2012, the Company's Austrian subsidiary entered into a $7,714 working capital loan with a local banking institution. This loan bears interest at a variable rate, which was 1.8% at September 30, 2012, and has a initial maturity date of June 30, 2013, with a twelve month roll-over option. Proceeds from this loan were used to pay down the Company's senior secured credit facility.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per common share has been computed and presented pursuant to the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share (“Topic 260”). Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company had outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”), deferred stock units (“DSUs”), warrants and options.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted weighted-average shares:

	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012	2011	2012	2011
Weighted-average common shares outstanding–basic	15,257,617	15,135,309	15,215,752	15,059,320
Dilutive effect of stock-based compensation awards outstanding	—	9,359	—	9,359
Weighted-average common shares outstanding–diluted	15,257,617	15,144,668	15,215,752	15,068,679

Dilutive securities aggregating approximately 1.8 million were outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the impact of including such shares would be anti-dilutive to the earnings per share calculations.

2. Derivatives and Hedging

As required by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“Topic 815”), the Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. From time to time, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates or foreign exchange rates.

7

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges protect the Company from increases in interest rates above the strike rate of the interest rate cap. However, the Company’s financial statements are exposed to the effects of interest rate fluctuations below the strike rate negotiated in the interest rate cap agreements, which could have a material impact on its results of operations.

On August 8, 2011, the Company entered into two interest rate cap agreements with certain financial institutions, with notional amounts totaling $114,400, whereby the Company limits its variable interest rate exposure to the strike rate of the interest rate cap agreements. At September 30, 2012, these agreements had notional amounts of $96,924. Under the terms of the interest rate cap agreements, the Company will receive payments based on the spread in rates if the three-month LIBOR rate

increases above the negotiated cap rates of 3.0%. The interest rate caps are considered designated hedging instruments, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Changes in fair value will be deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and the cap purchase price will be reclassified from accumulated comprehensive loss into earnings as interest expense over the life of the agreements. The fair value of the interest rate caps was $30 at September 30, 2012 and $175 at December 31, 2011. These amounts are included in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. Unrecognized losses of ($637) and ($520) were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Non-designated Hedges of Foreign Exchange Risk

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to foreign exchange rates, but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of Topic 815. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly to earnings.

The Company, from time to time, may enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to fix currencies at specified rates based on expected future cash flows to protect against the fluctuations in cash flows resulting from sales denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency on intercompany balances and certain purchase commitments, the Company from time to time may use foreign exchange forward contracts.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding derivatives that were not designated as hedges in qualifying hedging relationships. The value of these contracts is recognized at fair value based on market exchange forward rates and is recorded in other assets or other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these derivatives at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was ($71) and $123, respectively. The change in fair value of these contracts is included in foreign exchange gain and was $155 and $1,021 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively and $438 and $457 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The following represents the notional amounts of foreign exchange forward contracts at September 30, 2012:

	Notional Sold		Notional Purchased
Non-designated hedges of foreign exchange risk	$	28,070	$	(8,128	)

Fair Value of Derivatives Under ASC Topic 820

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”), emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs

8

including fair value of investments that do not have the ability to redeem at net asset value as of the measurement date, or during the first quarter following the measurement date. The derivative assets or liabilities are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and the Company considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company determined that its derivative valuations, which are based on market exchange forward rates, fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

3. Long-term Debt

At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, long-term debt consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Senior Bank Debt (Secured):
First lien debt, payable quarterly, U.S. Dollar denominated–LIBOR (minimum 1.25%) plus 5.00% (6.25%) as of September 30, 2012	$	105,520	$	119,366
First lien debt, payable quarterly, Euro denominated–EURIBOR (minimum 1.25%) plus 5.00% (6.25%) as of September 30, 2012	94,445		107,771
	199,965		227,137
Senior Notes (Unsecured), payable semi-annually–U.S. Dollar denominated interest rate fixed at 8.875%, matures June of 2018	240,000		240,000
Other Long-Term Debt:
Unsecured, interest rate fixed at 2.00%, Euro denominated	131		228
Unsecured, interest rate fixed at 1.31% to 3.40%, Yen denominated	—		1,689
	440,096		469,054
Less current maturities	2,368		3,548
Total	$	437,728	$	465,506

On May 26, 2011, the Company completed a refinancing transaction, which replaced certain of its then outstanding indebtedness with $240 million aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) and a new approximately $278 million multi-currency senior secured credit facility (as subsequently amended, the “Credit Facility”), comprised of approximately $248 million of senior secured term loans and a $30 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The interest rates under the Credit Facility are calculated, at the Company’s option, at the Alternate Base Rate as defined in the Credit Facility, LIBOR or EURIBOR, subject to a minimum of 2.25%, 1.25% and 1.25%, respectively, plus, in each case, a margin. The Credit Facility and Notes contain customary covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to enter into certain transactions and engage in certain activities. In addition, the Credit Facility includes specified financial covenants, requiring the Company to maintain certain consolidated leverage and interest coverage ratios and limiting its ability to make capital expenditures in excess of specified amounts. These covenants are included in Note 7 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Management believes the Company is in compliance with all covenants under the Notes and Credit Facility at September 30, 2012.

To facilitate its restructuring initiatives, on June 28, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to its senior secured credit facility. Among other revisions to the credit facility, the amendment allows for additional add backs to Adjusted EBITDA annually through 2015 up to the lesser of $15 million or the unused portion of the allowed annual capital expenditure limit; increases the maximum leverage ratios between September of 2012 and December of 2013; amends the definition of the leverage ratio to reduce debt by unrestricted surplus cash held by the Company and increases the interest rate on the term loans by 0.75% annually for eighteen months. The Company paid $1.5 million in deferred financing costs related to the amendment. This amount is classified as an intangible asset in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, an aggregate of $17.4 million is available for additional borrowings under the Credit Facility. This availability represents the $30.0 million revolving facility less $12.6 million of that facility committed for letters of credit. Additionally, at September 30, 2012, the Company had $5.0 million available for borrowings under other small lines of credit.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt was $440.1 million and $469.1 million, respectively, and exceeded its fair value of approximately $408.2 million and $439.1 million, respectively. The Company determined the fair value of its debt utilizing significant other observable inputs (Level 2 of the fair

9

value hierarchy).

4. Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method for accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”). Under Topic 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between their financial reporting and tax basis. The assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company reduces its deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, the Company evaluates all available information including the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the current and preceding years, as well as any available projected information for future years.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the provision for income taxes was $94 and $3,105, respectively, as compared with $3,264 and $9,711 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in tax expense was primarily attributable to consolidated losses and the geographic mix of earnings in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The provision for income taxes is primarily impacted by income earned in tax paying jurisdictions relative to income earned in non-tax paying jurisdictions. The majority of income recognized for purposes of computing the effective tax rate is earned in countries where the statutory income tax rates range from 25% to 41%; however, permanent income adjustments recorded against pre-tax earnings may result in an effective tax rate that is higher or lower than the statutory tax rate in these jurisdictions. The Company generates losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is received, as the deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions (including the net operating losses) are fully reserved in the valuation allowance. For this reason, the Company recognizes minimal income tax expense or benefit in these jurisdictions, of which the most material jurisdictions are the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. Due to these reserves, the geographic mix of the Company’s pre-tax earnings has a direct correlation with how high or low its annual effective tax rate is relative to consolidated earnings.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company had a gross unrecognized tax benefit of $8,431. The unrecognized tax benefit decreased by approximately $188 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as a result of foreign currency effects, statute expirations and ongoing changes in currently reserved positions. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as income tax expense, which were immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. The tax years 2000 through 2011 remain open to examination in a number of the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject.

In November of 2011, the Federal Revenue Department of the Ministry of Finance of Brazil (“FRD”) issued a tax assessment against the Company’s indirect subsidiary, Xerium Technologies Brasil Indústria e Comércio S.A. (“Xerium Brazil”), challenging the goodwill recorded in the 2005 acquisition of Wangner Itelpa and Huyck Indústria e Comércio S.A. by Robec Brasil Participações Ltda., a predecessor to Xerium Brazil. This assessment denies the amortization of that goodwill against net income for the years 2006 through 2010. As of September 30, 2012, the Company would be required to pay approximately $43.3 million (subject to currency exchange rates) in tax, penalties and interest in the event the Company was unable to overturn this assessment. The Company believes the transactions in question (i) complied with Brazilian tax and accounting rules, (ii) were effected for a legitimate business purpose, to consolidate the Company’s operating activities in Brazil into one legal entity, and (iii) were properly documented and declared to Brazilian tax and corporate authorities. Based on the foregoing, Xerium Brazil filed a response disputing the tax assessment at the first administrative level of appeal within the FRD in December 2011. The tax assessment is still pending review at this first administrative appeals level.

Although there can be no assurances, as of September 30, 2012, the Company believes it is more likely than not that it would prevail on every tax position under examination and therefore it did not accrue any amounts related to this assessment. Consistent with this position, Xerium Brazil continues to amortize the remaining goodwill against its net income. Because this dispute is at a preliminary stage for resolution with the FRD, the Company cannot assure a favorable outcome and cannot currently estimate the timing of the final resolution of this matter. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and will vigorously contest this matter. However, if management's views of the Company's position and the probable outcome of the assessment changes or the FRD’s initial position is sustained by Brazilian judicial courts, the amount accrued would adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations in the period in which any such determination or decision is made.

The Company believes that it has made adequate provisions for all income tax uncertainties.

5. Pensions, Other Post-retirement and Post-employment Benefits

10

The Company accounts for its pensions, other post-retirement and post-employment benefit plans in accordance with ASC Topic 715, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (“Topic 715”). The Company has defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all of its U.S. and Canadian employees and employees of certain subsidiaries in other countries. Benefits are generally based on the employee’s years of service and compensation. These plans are funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable government regulations. The Company does not fund certain plans, as funding is not required. The Company plans to continue to fund its U.S. defined benefit plans to comply with the Pension Protection Act of 2006. In addition, the Company also intends to fund its U.K. and Canadian defined benefit plans in accordance with local regulations.

The Company sponsors various unfunded defined contribution plans that provide for retirement benefits to employees, some in accordance with local government requirements. The Company also maintains a funded retirement savings plan for U.S. employees which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. The plan allows eligible employees to contribute up to 99% of their compensation (subject to certain Internal Revenue Service limitations), with the Company matching 200% of the first 1% of employee compensation and 100% of the next 4% of employee compensation. The following represents the approximate matching contribution expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011

Restructuring and impairment expense by segment, which is not included in Segment Earnings (Loss) in Note 8, is as follows:

	Three Months Ended              September 30,				Nine Months Ended              September 30,
	2012		2011		2012		2011
Clothing	$	2,572	$	13	$	7,338	$	327

Corporate	45		—		203		—
Total	$	5,840	$	577	$	10,943	$	1,287

In July of 2012, the Company announced a voluntary redundancy program at its press felt facility in Buenos Aires, Argentina in connection with the relocation of its Huyck Wangner press felt capacity. The production of press felts and fiber cement felts will be transferred to its facilities in Brazil. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company completed the voluntary redundancy program and severance payments totaling $0.9 million were made to the employees. In addition, during the third quarter of 2012, management did an extensive review of the assets at the Argentina clothing facility to determine which assets would be redeployed to other facilities, which assets would be sold and which assets would be scrapped, and consequently, recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million. The Company plans to sell the majority of the land and building, and does not expect to impair either the land or building, under the requirements of ASC 360 "Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".

Also in July of 2012, the Company initiated consultation proceedings with its works’ council at its rolls cover facility in Meyzieu, France regarding a proposal to cease operations there, transferring the roll cover production of this facility to its rolls facilities in Germany and Italy. In October of 2012, the Company completed negotiations with its works' council and signed an agreement which allowed the Company to formally give notice to employees. All employees were aware of the benefits they would receive in the upcoming months. Therefore, severance charges of $2.6 million were accrued at September 30, 2012. In addition, during the third quarter of 2012, management did an extensive review of the assets at the France rolls facility to determine which assets would be redeployed to other facilities, which assets would be sold and which assets would be

12

scrapped, and consequently, recorded an impairment charge of $0.5 million. The Company plans to sell the land and building, and does not expect to impair either the land or building, under the requirements of ASC 360 "Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets".

In addition to the above restructuring activities, during 2012, the Company terminated sales agency contracts in Europe, transferred certain machinery and equipment from downsized facilities and reduced headcount, which resulted in $5.8 million in related restructuring charges.

8. Business Segment Information

The Company is a global manufacturer and supplier of consumable products used primarily in the production of paper and is organized into two reportable segments: Clothing and Roll Covers. The Clothing segment represents the manufacture and sale of synthetic textile belts used to transport paper along the length of papermaking machines. The Roll Covers segment primarily represents the manufacture and refurbishment of covers used on the steel rolls of papermaking machines. The Company manages each of these operating segments separately.

Management evaluates segment performance based on earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and before allocation of corporate charges. Such measure is then adjusted to exclude items that are of an unusual nature and are not used in measuring segment performance or are not segment specific (“Segment Earnings (Loss)”). The accounting policies of these segments are the same as those for the Company as a whole. Inter-segment net sales and inter-segment eliminations are not material for any of the periods presented.

Summarized financial information for the Company’s reportable segments is presented in the tables that follow for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal matters which have arisen in the ordinary course of business as a result of various immaterial labor claims, taxing authority reviews and other routine legal matters. As of September 30, 2012, the Company accrued an immaterial amount in its financial statements for these matters for which the Company believed the possibility of loss was probable and was able to estimate the damages. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow. See Note 4 for a discussion of Xerium Brazil’s proceeding with the FRD.

The Company believes that any additional liability in excess of amounts provided which may result from the resolution of legal matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, liquidity or cash flow of the Company.

10. Stock-Based Compensation and Stockholders’ Deficit

The Company records stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Accounting for Stock Compensation and has used the straight-line attribution method to recognize expense for time-based restricted stock units ("RSU's") and deferred stock units ("DSUs"). The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense during the three and nine ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 as follows:

	Three Months Ended     September 30,					Nine Months Ended     September 30,
	2012		2011			2012		2011
RSU and DSU Awards (1)	$	820	$	634		$	1,574	$	1,942
Management Incentive/Performance Award Programs (2)	—		(462		)	—		311
Total	$	820	$	172		$	1,574	$	2,253

(1) Related to RSUs and DSUs awarded to certain employees and non-employee directors.

(2) For 2011, the amount represents the value of stock awards granted under the 2011 Management Incentive Compensation Program, which was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in March of 2011. No amount has been recorded for the 2012 Management Incentive Compensation Program (the “2012 MIC”), as the performance targets are not projected to be met as of September 30, 2012.

Summary of Activity under the Long-Term Incentive Plans

On September 22, 2010, the Board approved the Company’s 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2010 LTIP”) under the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). Awards under the 2010 LTIP are both time-based and performance-based. Awards will be paid in the form of RSUs or shares of common stock of the Company. Time-based awards under the 2010 LTIP were approved in the form of 131,010 time-based RSUs granted on October 29, 2010 under the Company’s 2010 Plan. As of September 30, 2012, 86,511 time-based RSUs had vested in accordance with the 2010 LTIP and were converted to common stock, with the remaining 44,499 time-based RSUs to vest on March 31, 2013. These will be converted into shares of common stock when they vest. Performance-based awards under the 2010 LTIP will vest upon meeting various criteria, as included in

14

the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On May 8, 2012, the Board approved the 2012 Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 Executive LTIP”) under the 2010 Plan. Awards under the 2012 Executive LTIP are both time-based and performance-based. A specific target share award is set for each participant in the 2012 Executive LTIP. Awards will be paid in the form of RSUs or shares of common stock of the Company. Time-based awards, or 50% of the total target award, were granted in the form of 54,750 time-based RSUs under the Company’s 2012 Plan and will vest in equal installments on March 31, 2013, March 31, 2014, and March 31, 2015. These will be converted into shares of common stock as they vest. Performance-based awards, which constitute 50% of the total award, will be determined based on the Company’s performance against a three-year cumulative Adjusted EBITDA metric, adjusted for currency fluctuations during the term of the 2012 – 2014 Executive LTIP. The performance-based awards will convert into shares of the Company’s common stock and be paid after the close of the three-year performance period. The amount of the payment will be based on a sliding scale ranging from 50% if the metric is achieved at 85% of the target up to 200% if the metric is achieved at or above 115% of the target.

Summary of Activity under the MIC Plans

On March 13, 2012, the Board approved the 2012 MIC. Under the 2012 MIC, payouts will be determined by the Company’s performance against specified Adjusted EBITDA metrics for the 2012 fiscal year. The Adjusted EBITDA metrics will be adjusted for currency fluctuations. A specific target award is set for each participant in the 2012 MIC equal to a percentage of his or her current base cash compensation. Fifty percent (50%) of any 2012 MIC award earned will be paid in cash and fifty percent (50%) is expected to be paid in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2012 MIC awards will be paid out based on a sliding scale. A participant will receive an award equal to 20% of his or her target award if Adjusted EBITDA is achieved above a minimum target level, 90% of target award if Adjusted EBITDA is at budget performance, 100% of target award if the targeted metric is achieved and ranging up to 200% if Adjusted EBITDA is achieved at a maximum target level. As indicated above, management determined that Adjusted EBITDA is projected not to meet the minimum target level at September 30, 2012. Therefore, no compensation expense has been recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Other Stock Compensation Plans

On August 15, 2012, in connection with the previously announced anticipated retirement of Stephen R. Light, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Harold C. Bevis to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, and Mr. Light notified the Company of his resignation, effective as of that date, as the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company granted Mr. Bevis a sign-on award of 204,208 restricted stock units and options to acquire 781,701 shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. Both the restricted stock units and the options will vest over a three year period, beginning on the second anniversary of the August 15, 2012 grant date. The options will have a 10-year term and an exercise price of $4.00 per share, the August 15, 2012 closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, on August 15, 2012, the Company accelerated the vesting of Mr. Light's remaining 50,000 restricted stock units, issuing 27,900 shares of common stock, upon vesting, net of certain tax withholdings.
