IMATION CORP.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Imation Corp. ("Imation," "the Company," "we," "us" or "our") are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the periods presented. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, these adjustments consist of normal, recurring items. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes are presented in accordance with the requirements for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in our annual Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes.
The preparation of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting periods. Despite our intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from our estimates.
The December 31, 2012 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 .
On February 13, 2013, we announced our plans to divest our XtremeMac TM and Memorex TM consumer electronics businesses. The results of operations for these businesses are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The consumer storage business under the Memorex and TDK Life on Record TM brands will be retained. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for further information.
Note 2 — Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Management has assessed the potential impact of accounting standards that have been issued but are not yet effective and has determined that no such standards are expected to have a material impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 — (Loss) Earnings per Common Share
Basic (loss) earnings per common share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per common share is computed on the basis of the weighted average shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of our stock-based compensation plans using the “treasury stock” method. Unvested restricted stock and treasury shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Once restricted stock vests, it is included in our common shares outstanding.
Potential common shares are excluded from the computation of diluted (loss) earnings per common share when the effect would be anti-dilutive. All potential common shares are anti-dilutive in periods of net loss available to common shareholders. Stock options are anti-dilutive when the exercise price of these instruments is greater than the average market price of the Company's common stock for the period.
The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted average basic and diluted (loss) earnings per share:

Note 4 — Acquisitions and Divestitures
Acquisitions
On December 31, 2012, we acquired Nexsan Corporation (Nexsan), a provider of disk-based storage systems with a portfolio of disk-based and hybrid disk-and-solid-state storage systems, for a purchase price of $120.1 million . The acquisition resulted in $65.5 million of goodwill. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the purchase price was adjusted to reflect working capital variances in accordance with the merger agreement. This adjustment resulted in a decrease to goodwill of $1.6 million and a cash receipt for this amount. As of June 30, 2013, our purchase price allocation is preliminary pending final evaluation of income tax balances. See Note 6 - Intangible Assets and Goodwill for more information regarding goodwill. We have not shown proforma results for the comparative period for the acquisition of Nexsan as it is not material to our Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations.
On June 4, 2011, we acquired the assets of MXI Security (MXI). The purchase price included a contingent consideration arrangement with an estimated fair value of $0.6 million at December 31, 2012. See Note 4 - Acquisitions in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the contingent consideration.
We remeasure the estimated fair value of the remaining contingent consideration each reporting period. At June 30, 2013, our estimated fair value of this contingent consideration was determined to be $0.2 million . We recorded a decrease of $0.3 million and $0.4 million in the fair value of this contingent consideration from December 31, 2012 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as a benefit in the restructuring and other line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 12 - Fair Value Measurements for further discussion of our valuation technique.
On February 28, 2011, we acquired substantially all of the assets of BeCompliant Corporation, doing business as Encryptx (Encryptx). The purchase price included future contingent consideration with an estimated fair value of $0.6 million at December 31, 2012. The final contingent consideration payment of $0.8 million was determined based on certain 2012 milestones and was paid during the first quarter of 2013. In the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013, $0.5 million was presented in cash flows from financing activities and the remaining $0.3 million was presented in cash flows from operating activities as it pertains to the excess of actual payments over the initially recognized fair value of the contingent consideration.
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a working capital adjustment to the purchase price in our acquisition of the secure data hardware of IronKey Systems Inc. in the amount of $0.6 million . As the purchase accounting for

8

this acquisition was finalized in 2011, the adjustment was recorded as a charge to restructuring and other in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.
Discontinued Operations
On February 13, 2013, we announced our plans to divest our XtremeMac and Memorex consumer electronics businesses. The consumer storage business under the Memorex and TDK Life on Record brands will be retained. These expected divestitures are part of the acceleration of our strategic transformation that we announced during the fourth quarter of 2012 in conjunction with our plan to increase focus on data storage and security. As a part of exiting these disposal groups, we plan to dispose of the assets directly associated with these businesses, which primarily include inventory, tooling and intangible assets. We are in varying degrees of negotiations for the sale of these assets and believe such sales are probable to be consummated in the next 12 months. We have classified inventory of $18.4 million , intangible assets of $1.7 million and tooling (previously classified as Property, plant and equipment) of $1.7 million as assets held for sale as of June 30, 2013. The operating results for these businesses are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented and only reflect revenues and expenses that are directly attributable to these businesses that will be eliminated from ongoing operations. See Note 7 - Restructuring and Other for disclosure of severance expense that was recorded relating to these planned divestitures.

See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information related to our discontinued operations. This expense is excluded from the table above.
2012 Global Process Improvement Restructuring Program
On October 22, 2012, the Board of Directors approved the Global Process Improvement Restructuring Program (GPI Program) related to the realignment of our business structure and the reduction of our operating expenses in excess of 25 percent over time. This program addresses product line rationalization and infrastructure, and is anticipated to include a reduction of approximately 20 percent of our global workforce. Restructuring charges under this plan will continue to be incurred throughout the remainder of 2013.
Changes in the 2012 GPI Program accruals were as follows:

We have stock-based compensation awards consisting of stock options and restricted stock outstanding under five plans (collectively, the Stock Plans) which are described in detail in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. As of June 30, 2013 there were 2,040,696 shares available for grant under our 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (2011 Incentive Plan). On May 8, 2013, at the Company's 2013 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company's shareholders approved various amendments to 2011 Incentive Plan including increasing the number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to stock-based awards made under the 2011 Incentive Plan by 1,543,000 shares to a total of 6,043,000 shares. No further shares were available for grant under any other stock incentive plan.

Note 9 — Retirement Plans
Pension Plans
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 we contributed $0.3 million and $0.7 million , respectively, to our worldwide pension plans. We presently anticipate contributing approximately $0.5 million to $2.0 million to fund our worldwide pension plans during the remainder of 2013.
In connection with actions taken under our announced restructuring programs, the number of employees accumulating benefits under our pension plan in the United States continues to decline. Participants in our U.S. defined benefit pension plan have the option of receiving cash lump sum payments when exiting the plan, which a number of participants exiting the plan have elected to receive. Lump sum payments for the six months ended June 30, 2013 have exceeded our expected 2013 service and interest costs. As a result, a partial settlement event occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and we recognized a loss of $1.5 million . A settlement loss of $1.5 million was also recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2012. These settlement losses are included in restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, in connection with the settlement and as required by pension accounting, we remeasured the funded status of our U.S. defined benefit plan as of June 30, 2013 and have adjusted the funded status on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30 2013, accordingly.

Note 10 — Income Taxes
For interim income tax reporting, we are required to estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to year-to-date pre-tax ordinary income/loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items. Tax jurisdictions with losses for which tax benefits cannot be realized are excluded.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 we recorded income tax expense of $1.1 million and $1.5 million , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million and $1.5 million , respectively. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to a large discrete tax benefit

14

related to the settlement of two tax audits recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2012, changes in withholding tax expense and the mix of taxable income (loss) by country. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to the full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets and the effects of foreign tax rate differential.
We conduct business globally. As a result, we file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and are subject to review by various U.S and foreign taxing authorities. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2010 and 2011 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to examination by foreign tax jurisdictions or state and city tax jurisdictions for years before 2006. In the event that we have determined not to file tax returns with a particular state or city, all years remain subject to examination by the tax jurisdiction.
We accrue for the effects of uncertain tax positions and the related potential penalties and interest. Our liability related to uncertain tax positions, which is presented within the other liabilities line on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and which includes interest and penalties, was $4.6 million and $4.7 million as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized tax benefit with respect to certain of our unrecognized tax positions will increase or decrease during the next twelve months; however it is not possible to reasonably estimate the effect upon the unrecognized tax benefits at this time.
Note 11 — Debt
Our Credit Agreement and its terms are described in Note 11 - Debt of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2013 , our borrowing capacity under this arrangement, after consideration of amounts outstanding, was $78.4 million , consisting of $66.3 million in the United States and $12.1 million in Europe.
As of June 30, 2013 , we had $20.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, all of which was borrowed in the United States and bears an interest rate of 2.2 percent . We are in compliance with all covenant requirements as of June 30, 2013 .
Subsequent Event
On July 16, 2013, we entered into an additional credit agreement for a revolving credit facility with a lender in Japan with Imation Corporation Japan as the borrower and Imation Corp. as the guarantor. We intend to use the credit facility for general operating purposes. The credit agreement is a three year asset-based revolving credit facility with a borrowing base consistent with our existing Credit Agreement that allows for the borrowing of amounts up to 2.0 billion Japanese Yen, or approximately $20.0 million . Borrowings under the credit facility will bear interest at an interest rate equal to the base rate based of LIBOR or TIBOR plus the applicable margins provided for in the credit agreement. The credit agreement contains financial covenants applicable to Imation Corporation Japan including a fixed charge coverage ratio requirement.
Note 12 — Fair Value Measurements
Derivative Financial Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges
We attempt to substantially mitigate the risk that forecasted cash flows denominated in foreign currencies may be adversely affected by changes in the currency exchange rates through the use of option, forward and combination option contracts. Gains and losses related to cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss with a corresponding asset or liability. When the hedged transaction occurs, the gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the same line as the item being hedged. The following table sets forth our cash flow hedges which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Other Derivative Instruments
We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage the foreign currency exposure related to our monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. We record the estimated fair value of these forward contracts within other current assets or other current liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and because we do not receive hedge accounting for these derivatives, changes in their value are recognized every reporting period in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , we recorded foreign currency gains of $0.1 million and losses of $0.7 million , respectively, in other expense (income) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These gains and losses reflect changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities and are net of gains of $0.8 million and losses of $0.5 million from the related foreign currency forward contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , we recorded foreign currency gains of $0.6 million and losses of $1.7 million , respectively, in other expense (income) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These gains and losses reflect changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities and are net of gains of $1.1 million and losses of $0.1 million from the related foreign currency forward contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively.

Contingent Consideration
Contingent consideration recorded for earn-out payments related to our acquisitions is immaterial as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and is recorded at fair value and remeasured on a recurring basis. We use the income approach in calculating the fair value of our contingent consideration. Changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration are recognized as a fair value adjustment within restructuring and other in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These fair value measurements are calculated using the income approach with cash flow projections based on significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 measurements. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for further discussion of the fair value calculation of our contingent consideration as of June 30, 2013.

Note 14 — Segment Information
As of January 1, 2013, we revised our segment reporting to reflect changes in how we manage our business, review operating performance and allocate resources. We now manage our business through two reporting segments, Consumer Storage and Accessories (CSA) and Tiered Storage and Security Solutions (TSS). Our new reporting segments are aligned with our key commercial and consumer channels.
We have two major product categories under our CSA segment: Consumer storage media and Audio and accessories. Consumer storage media products include primarily optical products such as DVDs, CDs and Blu-ray disc recordable media as well as flash media. Audio and accessories include primarily headphones, audio electronics and accessories. We have two major product categories under our TSS segment: Commercial storage media and Storage and security solutions. Commercial storage media products consist mainly of magnetic data storage tape media and RDX media. Storage and security solutions includes storage hardware products, services and software for primary storage as well as backup and archiving; encrypted and biometric flash drives and hard disk drives; secure portable desktop solutions; and software solutions, including products which contain various security features such as password authentication, encryption and remote manageability.
We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income (loss). The operating income (loss) reported in our segments excludes corporate and other unallocated amounts. Although such amounts are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated results. Corporate and unallocated amounts include depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment, intangible impairments, intangible asset abandonment, corporate expense, contingent consideration adjustments, inventory write-offs related to our restructuring programs and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.
On February 13, 2013, we announced our plans to divest our XtremeMac and Memorex consumer electronics businesses. The operating results for these businesses are presented in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as discontinued operations and are not included in segment results for any periods presented. The consumer storage business under the Memorex and TDK Life on Record brands will be retained. See Note 4 - Acquisitions and Divestitures for further information.

Note 15 — Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
We are the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. All such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Additionally, our businesses are subject to allegations of patent infringement by our competitors as well as by non-practicing entities (NPEs), sometimes referred to as “patent trolls,” who may seek monetary settlements from us, our competitors, suppliers and resellers, including the One-Blue litigation described below. Consequently, as of June 30, 2013 , we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate aggregate amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with respect to these matters. It is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
On May 22, 2013, Imation was sued in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware by five entities: One-Blue, LLC (One-Blue), which is an entity with licensing authority for a pool of patents relating to Blu-ray discs, and four members of One-Blue, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Panasonic Corporation, Pioneer Corporation and Sony Corporation. The plaintiffs allege that Imation's sales of certain Blu-ray discs infringe one or more of those patents and seek unspecified damages, treble damages and attorney's fees. On June 13, 2013, Imation filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims, naming various defenses including that plaintiffs are barred, in whole or in part, from any recovery or relief by their refusal to license the patents-in-suit under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms. Imation intends to vigorously defend the case. Discovery in this matter has not yet commenced. In addition, Imation has a dispute with One-Blue regarding One-Blue's refusal to license its Japanese Blu-ray patents under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms and Imation Corporation Japan, Imation's Japanese subsidiary, has sued One-Blue in Japan regarding its unlawful interference with certain of our customer relationships. Imation has notified its manufacturers of indemnity obligations that it believes cover a portion of its liability, if any, to One-Blue and the other associated patent holders.
Copyright Levies

19

In many European Union (EU) member countries, the sale of recordable optical media is subject to a private copyright levy. The levies are intended to compensate copyright holders with "fair compensation" for the harm caused by private copies made by natural persons of protected works under the European Copyright Directive, which became effective in 2002 (Directive). Levies are generally charged directly to the importer of the product upon the sale of the products. Payers of levies remit levy payments to collecting societies which, in turn, are expected to distribute funds to copyright holders. Levy systems of EU member countries must comply with the Directive, but individual member countries are responsible for administering their own systems. Since implementation, the levy systems have been the subject of numerous litigation and law making activities. On October 21, 2010, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that fair compensation is an autonomous European law concept that was introduced by the Directive and must be uniformly applied in all EU member states. The ECJ stated that fair compensation must be calculated based on the harm caused to the authors of protected works by private copying. The ECJ also stated that the indiscriminate application of the private copying levy to devices not made available to private users and clearly reserved for uses other than private copying is incompatible with the Directive. The ECJ ruling made clear that copyright holders are only entitled to fair compensation payments (funded by levy payments made by importers of applicable products, including the Company) when sales of optical media are made to natural persons presumed to be making private copies. Within this disclosure, we use the term "commercial channel sales" when referring to products intended for uses other than private copying and "consumer channel sales" when referring to products intended for uses including private copying.
Since the Directive was implemented in 2002, we estimate that we have paid in excess of $100 million in levies to various ongoing collecting societies related to commercial channel sales. Based on the ECJ's October 2010 ruling and subsequent litigation and law making activities, we believe that these payments were not consistent with the Directive and should not have been paid to the various collecting societies. Accordingly, subsequent to the October 21, 2010 ECJ ruling, we began withholding levy payments to the various collecting societies and, in 2011, we released our existing accruals (totaling $7.8 million ) for unpaid levies related to commercial channel sales. However, we continue to accrue, but not pay, a liability for levies arising from consumer channel sales. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , we had accrued liabilities of $29.1 million and $27.7 million , respectively, associated with levies related to consumer channel sales for which we are withholding payment.
Since the October 2010 ECJ ruling, we evaluate quarterly on a country-by-country basis whether: (i) levies should be accrued on current period commercial and/or consumer channel sales; and, (ii) accrued, but unpaid, copyright levies on prior period consumer channel sales should be reversed. Our evaluation is made on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis and considers ongoing and cumulative developments related to levy litigation and law making activities within each jurisdiction as well as throughout the EU. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 we did not reverse any amounts associated with prior period copyright levies. To the extent any reversals were to occur, they would be recorded as a reduction to costs of sales, which is the same income statement account in which our levy expense is initially recorded.
During the second quarter of 2013, an Italian court rendered a decision associated with a copyright levy matter to which Imation was not a party. This decision (i) confirmed and provided further specificity to the October 21, 2010 ruling of the ECJ that levies should not be paid on commercial channel sales and (ii) evaluated, via audit, the plaintiff's documentation and evidence for distinguishing between levies paid on commercial and consumer channel sales. Based on the ruling of this Italian court, in combination with other applicable levy and law-making activities within the EU, including Italy, we believe there is sufficient evidence that we may offset with the Italian collecting society the estimated $39 million we have overpaid for copyright levies in Italy (due to us paying levies on commercial channel sales prior to the October 21, 2010 ECJ ruling) against the amounts owed to the Italian collecting society for unpaid levies on consumer channel sales. As such, our liability for Italian copyright levies in the amount of $13.6 million (existing at the time of the of the second quarter 2013 Italian court decision) that arose from consumer channel sales that had been accrued but not paid was reversed and recorded as a reduction of cost of sales. We did not record a receivable for the remaining estimated $25.4 million that we believe is owed to us by the Italian collection society for our historical over payment on levies associated with commercial channel sales as we are not assured of its collectability. Rather, going forward, such amount will be realized as a reduction to cost of sales upon the incurrence of (and for the same amount of) valid levies for consumer channel sales. Our annual expense for copyright levies in Italy was $5.1 million and $7.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Italian court decision placed the burden of proof on the payer of levies to provide sufficient documentation and evidence to support the determination of levies between those paid on commercial versus consumer channel sales. We believe that we have utilized a methodology, and have sufficient documentation and evidence, to fully support our estimates that we have overpaid $39 million to the Italian collection society of levies on commercial channel sales and that we have incurred (but not paid) $13.6 million of levies on consumer channel sales in Italy. However, such amounts could be subject to challenge in court and there is no certainty that our estimates would be upheld and supported. Additionally, due to the expected continued decline in our sales associated with optical media products, we cannot be assured that we will ever be able to fully realize the estimated amounts owed to us by the Italian collection society through offsetting such amounts against levies incurred on future consumer channel sales.

20

At June 30, 2013, the recovery of some or all of the copyright levies previously paid on commercial sales in EU jurisdictions other than Italy represents a gain contingency that has not yet met the required criteria for recognition in our financial statements. There is no assurance that we will realize any of this gain contingency. We also have an estimated $17.6 million of accrued but unpaid levies associated with consumer sales in EU jurisdictions other than Italy that we continue to carry on our books.
We are subject to several pending or threatened legal actions by the individual European national levy collecting societies in relation to private copyright levies under the Directive. Those actions generally seek payment of the commercial and consumer optical levies withheld by Imation. Imation has corresponding claims in those actions seeking reimbursement of levies improperly collected by those collecting societies. Although these actions are subject to the uncertainties inherent in the litigation process, based on the information presently available to us, management does not expect that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Our worldwide revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased compared with the same periods last year, driven primarily by declines of 29.0 percent and 27.1 percent, respectively, in our consumer storage media products in our CSA segment. Revenue in our TSS segment increased 6.9 percent and 3.9 percent in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2012, driven by an increase in revenue primarily from the addition of Nexsan Corp (Nexsan), which was acquired on December 31, 2012. See Segment Results for further discussion of our reporting segments including the revision of our segments as of January 1, 2013.
From a product perspective for the three months ended June 30, 2013, the decrease in revenue included the expected secular declines in our consumer storage media products and our commercial storage media products of $43.8 million and $13.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the decrease in revenue included declines in our consumer storage media products and our commercial storage media products of $82.3 million and $32.6 million, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in storage and security solutions products of $19.4 million and $40.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to the addition of Nexsan. Revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods last year was negatively impacted by foreign currency translation of 3.3 percent and 2.8 percent, respectively.

Gross profit increased for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period last year due to a $13.6 million reversal of an accrual for Italian copyright levies partially offset by lower overall revenue. See Note 15 - Litigation, Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the levy reversal during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Gross profit in the CSA segment increased $3.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year and included the levy reversal. Gross profit in the TSS segment increased $3.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior year primarily due to the acquisition of Nexsan. See Segment Results for further discussion of our reporting segments including the revision of our segments as of January 1, 2013. From a product perspective, higher gross profit in consumer storage media products from the levy reversal and higher gross profit in storage and security solutions products driven by the addition of hardware solutions products from the Nexsan acquisition, were partially offset by lower gross profit on our commercial storage media products. Gross profit during the three months ended June 30, 2013 included inventory write-offs of $0.7 million related to our restructuring programs which was driven by the rationalization of certain product lines.
Gross profit decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period last year primarily due to lower overall revenue partially offset by the reversal of an accrual for Italian copyright levies discussed above. Gross profit in the CSA segment decreased $9.3 million and was partially offset by a $6.2 million increase in gross profit in the TSS segment. From a product perspective, lower gross profit in consumer and commercial storage media products was partially offset by the levy reversal and higher gross profit in storage and security solutions products, driven primarily by the addition of hardware solutions products from the Nexsan acquisition. Gross profit during the six months ended June 30, 2013 included inventory write-offs of $2.8 million related to our restructuring programs which was driven by the rationalization of certain product lines.
Gross margin increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods last year. Gross margin in the CSA reporting segment increased 10.1 points to 30.2 percent and 3.3 points to 23.8 percent, for the three and six

22

months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, driven by the reversal of an accrual for Italian copyright levies discussed above. Gross margin in the TSS reporting segment increased 2.1 points to 21.7 percent and 2.4 points to 21.9 percent, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as higher revenue and gross margin on our storage and security solutions products from the addition of Nexsan were partially offset by lower revenue and gross margin on our commercial storage media products.

SG&A expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods last year primarily due to our cost reduction efforts and prior intangible write-offs, which reduced these costs by approximately $8.8 million and $19.6 million, respectively. Reductions specifically related to lower advertising and sales costs, lower intangible amortization expense as a result of write-offs at the end of 2012, lower costs due to general staff reductions as well as lower professional fees. These reductions were partially offset by incremental SG&A from the Nexsan acquisition.

Restructuring expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 is related to our 2012 Global Process Improvement Restructuring Program. For these periods, we incurred severance and related costs of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, lease termination costs of $0.5 million and $0.6 million and other restructuring charges of $0.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Other charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 included acquisition and integration related costs of $0.8 million and $1.2 million, other costs of $0.8 million and $1.1 million and a contingent consideration benefit of $0.3 and $0.4 million, respectively. Additionally, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 we recorded a $1.5 million pension settlement.
Restructuring expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily related to our 2011 Corporate Strategy Restructuring Program. For these periods, we incurred severance related costs of $2.4 million and $2.8 million, lease termination costs of $0.5 million and $0.5 million and other restructuring charges of $0.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 we recorded a gain on the sale of fixed assets held for sale of $0.7 million. Other charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 included acquisition and integration related costs of $0.8 million and $1.2 million and other costs of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. We also recorded a contingent consideration benefit of $2.8 million, pension settlement charges of $1.5 million and accelerated amortization related to abandoned intangible assets of $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Other net expense decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods last year. Other, net primarily includes foreign currency (gains) losses from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities. Foreign currency gains of $0.1 million and $0.6 million were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and losses of $0.7 million and $1.7 million were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. We attempt to mitigate the exposure to foreign currency volatility through our hedging program; however, our program is not designed to fully hedge our risk and, as a result, we experience some volatility in other income, especially in periods of significant foreign currency fluctuation.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 we recorded income tax expense of $1.1 million and $1.5 million , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded income tax expense of $0.2 million and $1.5 million , respectively. The increase for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to a large discrete tax benefit related to the settlement of two tax audits recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2012, changes in withholding tax expense and the mix of taxable income (loss) by country. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35 percent primarily due to the full valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets and the effects of foreign tax rate differential.

Loss from discontinued operations represents operations from our XtremeMac and Memorex consumer electronics businesses which we plan to divest. The increase in operating loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared

with the same periods last year reflects lower revenues and lower gross margins in these businesses in addition to restructuring expense of $0.3 million and $1.4 million recorded in three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
Segment Results
As of January 1, 2013, we revised our segment reporting to reflect changes in how we manage our business, review operating performance and allocate resources. We now manage our business through two reporting segments, Consumer Storage and Accessories (CSA) and Tiered Storage and Security Solutions (TSS). Our new reporting segments are aligned with our key commercial and consumer channels.
We have two major product categories under our CSA segment: Consumer storage media and Audio and accessories. Consumer storage media products include primarily optical products such as DVDs, CDs and Blu-ray disc recordable media as well as flash media. Audio and accessories include primarily headphones, audio electronics and accessories. We have two major product categories under our TSS segment: Commercial storage media and Storage and security solutions. Commercial storage media products consist mainly of magnetic data storage tape media and RDX media. Storage and security solutions includes storage hardware products, services and software for primary storage as well as backup and archiving; encrypted and biometric flash drives and hard disk drives; secure portable desktop solutions; and software solutions, including products which contain various security features such as password authentication, encryption and remote manageability.
We evaluate segment performance based on revenue and operating income (loss). The operating income (loss) reported in our segments excludes corporate and other unallocated amounts. Although such amounts are excluded from the business segment results, they are included in reported consolidated results. Corporate and unallocated amounts include depreciation and amortization, litigation settlement expense, goodwill impairment, intangible impairments, intangible asset abandonment, corporate expense, contingent consideration adjustments, inventory write-offs related to our restructuring programs and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to the segments.
Information related to our segments is as follows:

The decrease in CSA segment revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods last year was driven primarily by a revenue decline in consumer storage media products of 29.0 percent and 27.1 percent, respectively. From a product perspective, revenue declines were primarily due to the expected secular declines of $37.6 million and $67.5 million in optical media products for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
Operating income increased for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by higher gross profit in consumer storage media products and lower SG&A and R&D compared with the same period last year. The higher gross profit is due to the reversal of an accrual for Italian copyright levies of $13.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Operating income decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period last year driven primarily by lower gross profit in consumer storage media products partially offset by lower SG&A and R&D compared with the same period last year. We plan to continue our operating expense reduction efforts in this segment.

The increase in TSS segment revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods last year was primarily driven by the addition of Nexsan, which was acquired on December 31, 2012. Partially offsetting this

25

addition was a decline in commercial storage media product revenue of $13.3 million and $32.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. From a product perspective, the decrease in commercial storage media product revenue was primarily composed of lower revenue from the expected secular decline associated with our magnetic tape products of $12.3 million and $28.9 million, respectively.
Operating loss decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods last year driven primarily by higher gross profit from the addition of Nexsan and lower SG&A and R&D, partially offset by lower gross profit primarily on commercial storage media products.

The corporate and unallocated operating loss increased slightly for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods last year driven primarily by higher restructuring costs and other expense.

Impact of Changes in Foreign Currency Rates
We have a market presence in more than 100 countries and we sell products on a local currency basis through a variety of distribution channels. We source optical, flash and other finished goods from manufacturers located primarily in Asia, although much of this sourcing is on a U.S. dollar basis. Additionally, comparisons of revenue and gross profit from foreign countries are subject to various fluctuations due to the impact of translating results at differing exchange rates in different periods.
Changes in foreign currency translation rates negatively impacted worldwide revenue by 3.3 percent and 2.8 percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 while changes in foreign currency translation rates impacted worldwide revenue by two and one percent for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The impact on profit is more difficult to determine due to the influence of other factors that we believe are also impacted by currency rate changes.
Our foreign currency hedging program attempts to manage some of the foreign currency risks over near term periods; however, these risk management activities cannot ensure that the program will offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from unfavorable movements in foreign exchange rates or that medium and longer term effects of exchange rates will not be significant (see Part 1, Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in this Form 10-Q).

Financial Position
Our cash and cash equivalents balance as of June 30, 2013 was $ 94.4 million , a decrease of $14.3 million from $ 108.7 million  as of December 31, 2012 . The decrease was primarily attributable to restructuring payments of $11.2 million, capital expenditures of $3.5 million and purchases of treasury stock of $2.5 million.
Our accounts receivable balance as of June 30, 2013 was $158.0 million , a decrease of $62.8 million from $220.8 million as of December 31, 2012 as a result of lower sales during the period. Days sales outstanding was 60 days as of June 30, 2013 , up 1 day from December 31, 2012 . Days sales outstanding is calculated using the count-back method, which calculates the number of days of most recent revenue that is reflected in the net accounts receivable balance.
Our inventory balance as of June 30, 2013 was $124.9 million , a decrease of $41.1 million from $166.0 million as of December 31, 2012 . Days of inventory supply was 72 days as of June 30, 2013 , down 17 days from December 31, 2012 primarily due to the impact of the reclassification of inventory to discontinued operations. Days of inventory supply is calculated using the current period inventory balance divided by an estimate of the inventoriable portion of cost of goods sold expressed in days. The declines in inventory and days of inventory supply were partially due to the reclassification of inventory to assets held for sale related to our divestitures of XtremeMac and Memorex consumer electronics businesses which hold higher than average inventory balances.
Our accounts payable balance as of June 30, 2013 was $120.5 million , a decrease of $42.2 million from $162.7 million as of December 31, 2012 . The decrease in accounts payable was mainly due to reduced purchases compared to the previous quarter, as well as the timing of payments.

On May 2, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program that allowed for the repurchase of 5.0 million shares of common stock which replaced our previous authorization. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 , we have repurchased 0.6 million shares of common stock for $2.5 million . Since the authorization of this program, we have repurchased 1.8 million shares of common stock for $9.0 million , and as of June 30, 2013 we had remaining authorization to repurchase up to 3.2 million additional shares.
Our Credit Agreement and its terms are described in Note 11 - Debt of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2013, our borrowing capacity under this arrangement, after consideration of amounts outstanding, was $78.4 million , consisting of $66.3 million in the United States and $12.1 million in Europe.
As of June 30, 2013, we had $20.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, all of which was borrowed in the United States and bears an interest rate of 2.2 percent . We are in compliance with all covenant requirements as of June 30, 2013.

27

On July 16, 2013, we entered into an additional credit agreement for a revolving credit facility with a lender in Japan with Imation Corporation Japan as the borrower and Imation Corp. as the guarantor. We intend to use the credit facility for general operating purposes. The credit agreement is a three year asset-based revolving credit facility with a borrowing base consistent with our existing Credit Agreement that allows for the borrowing of amounts up to 2.0 billion Japanese Yen, or approximately $20.0 million . Borrowings under the credit facility will bear interest at an interest rate equal to the base rate based of LIBOR or TIBOR plus the applicable margins provided for in the credit agreement. The credit agreement contains financial covenants applicable to Imation Corporation Japan including a fixed charge coverage ratio requirement.
Our liquidity needs for the remaining six months of 2013 include the following: capital expenditures of $4 million to $8 million, payments related to our previously announced restructuring programs of $15 million to $20 million, $20 million to repay borrowings under our credit facility, operating lease payments of approximately $4 million, pension funding of $0.5 million to $2 million, any amounts associated with strategic acquisitions, any amounts associated with organic investment opportunities and any amounts associated with the repurchase of common stock under the authorization discussed above. We expect that cash and cash equivalents, together with cash flow from operations and availability of borrowings under our current sources of financing, will provide liquidity sufficient to meet these needs and for our operations.
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2013 , there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2012 as presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

A discussion of the Company’s critical accounting policies was provided in Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 . There were no significant changes to these accounting policies for the first six months of 2013 .

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors
We may from time to time make written or oral forward-looking statements with respect to our future goals, including statements contained in this Form 10-Q, in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in our reports to shareholders.
Certain information which does not relate to historical financial information may be deemed to constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words or phrases "is targeting," "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project," "believe," or similar expressions identify "forward looking statements." Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results in the future to differ materially from our historical results and those presently anticipated or projected. We wish to caution investors not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances arising after such date. Risk factors include our ability to successfully implement our strategy including our global restructuring plan; our ability to grow our business in new products with profitable margins and the rate of revenue decline for certain existing products; the ability to quickly develop, source, introduce and deliver differentiated and innovative products; our potential dependence on third parties for new product introductions or technologies in order to introduce our own new products; foreign currency fluctuations; the ready availability and price of energy and key raw materials or critical components including the effects of natural disasters and our ability to pass along raw materials price increases to our customers; continuing uncertainty in global and regional economic conditions; our ability to identify, value, integrate and realize the expected benefits from any acquisition which has occurred or may occur in connection with our strategy; the possibility that our goodwill and intangible assets or any goodwill or intangible assets that we acquire may become impaired;

28

the ability of our security products to withstand cyber-attacks; the seasonality and volatility of the markets in which we operate; changes in European law or practice related to the imposition or collectability of optical levies; significant changes in discount rates and other assumptions used in the valuation of our pension plans; changes in tax laws, regulations and results of inspections by various tax authorities; our ability to successfully defend our intellectual property rights and the ability or willingness of our suppliers to provide adequate protection against third party intellectual property or product liability claims; the outcome of any pending or future litigation; ability to access financing to achieve strategic objectives and growth due to changes in the capital and credit markets; limitations in our operations that could arise from compliance with the debt covenants in our credit facility; our ability to retain key employees; increased compliance with changing laws and regulations potentially affecting our operating results; failure to adequately protect our information systems from cyber-attacks; our ability to meet our revenue growth, gross margin and earnings targets and the volatility of our stock price due to our results or market trends, as well as various factors set forth in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and in our filings with the SEC.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Except for the paragraph noted below, there has been no material change since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 . For further information, see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 .
As of June 30, 2013 we had $170.9 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and option contracts of which $51.1 million hedged recorded balance sheet exposures. This compares to $295.1 million notional amount of foreign currency forward and option contracts as of December 31, 2012 , of which $46.5 million hedged recorded balance sheet exposures. An immediate adverse change of 10 percent in quarter-end foreign currency exchange rates with all other variables (including interest rates) held constant would reduce the fair value of foreign currency contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2013 by $1.1 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures .
Based on an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2013 , the end of the period covered by this report, the President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark E. Lucas, and the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Paul R. Zeller, have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2013 , there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings .
In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate general indemnification language. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by a breach of terms of the contract or by a third-party claim. There has historically been no material losses related to such indemnifications. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, we record a liability in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
We are the subject of various pending or threatened legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. All such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. Additionally, our businesses are subject to allegations of patent infringement by our competitors as well as by non-practicing entities (NPEs), sometimes referred to as “patent trolls,” who may seek monetary settlements from us, our competitors, suppliers and resellers, including the One-Blue litigation described below. Consequently, as of June 30, 2013 , we are unable to reasonably estimate the ultimate aggregate amount of any monetary liability or financial impact that we may incur with respect to these matters. It is reasonably possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
On May 22, 2013, Imation was sued in U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware by five entities: One-Blue, LLC (One-Blue), which is an entity with licensing authority for a pool of patents relating to Blu-ray discs, and four members of One-Blue, Koninklijke Philips N.V., Panasonic Corporation, Pioneer Corporation and Sony Corporation. The plaintiffs allege that Imation's sales of certain Blu-ray discs infringe one or more of those patents and seek unspecified damages, treble damages and attorney's fees. On June 13, 2013, Imation filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses, and Counterclaims, naming various defenses including that plaintiffs are barred, in whole or in part, from any recovery or relief by their refusal to license the patents-in-suit

under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms. Imation intends to vigorously defend the case. Discovery in this matter has not yet commenced. In addition, Imation has a dispute with One-Blue regarding One-Blue's refusal to license its Japanese Blu-ray patents under fair, reasonable, and nondiscriminatory terms and Imation Corporation Japan, Imation's Japanese subsidiary, has sued One-Blue in Japan regarding its unlawful interference with certain of our customer relationships. Imation has notified its manufacturers of indemnity obligations that it believes cover a portion of its liability, if any, to One-Blue and the other associated patent holders.
Item 1A. Risk Factors .
There has been no material change in the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 . For further information, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 .

SECTION 7. ELECTIONS TO RECEIVE COMMON STOCK OR RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

(a)      Elections .

(i)      Common Stock . Each Eligible Director who is not covered by clause (iii) below, may elect to receive, in lieu of a cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee and/or Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director), a number of shares of Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)), which is calculated by dividing his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee and/or Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof), by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable. To be effective, any such election shall be made by submitting a completed and executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the relevant Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable.

(ii)      Restricted Stock Units . Each Eligible Director who is not covered by clause (iii) below, may elect to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee and/or Meeting Fees, Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) calculated by dividing his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee and/or Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director) for services to be performed in the following the calendar year by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Accounting Date or Quarterly Payment Date, as applicable. To be effective, any such election relating to the Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee or Meeting Fees shall be made by submitting a completed and executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the calendar year in which the Eligible Director wishes the election to be in effect and such election shall be irrevocable for such calendar year.
 
(iii)      New Directors . Each Eligible Director who during the preceding twenty-four (24) months has not participated in any deferred compensation arrangement of the Company or any Affiliate that would be treated as a single plan with this Plan under Treas. Reg. Sec. 1.409A-1(c)(2)(i) and who joins the Board between annual meetings of stockholders may elect prior to first becoming an Eligible Director to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee and/or Non-Executive Chairman Fee, a number of shares of Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)) and/or Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) up to the number which is calculated by (A) multiplying the sum of his or her Basic Fee, Chairperson Fee, Non-Executive Chairman Fee (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director) payable with respect to the time prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders which the Eligible Director is first elected to the Board by the Proration Fraction and (B) dividing the product resulting from clause (A) by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date that the Eligible Director becomes an Eligible Director. Each Eligible




Director may also elect to receive, in lieu of cash payment for his or her Meeting Fees (or a portion thereof, as elected by the Eligible Director), Common Stock (excluding fractional shares, which shall be paid in cash (or carried over to the next payment if an Eligible Director elects to be paid all in Common Stock)) Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) calculated by dividing his or her Meeting Fees (or portion thereof) by the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the Quarterly Payment Date. To be effective, any such election shall be made by submitting a completed and executed Election Form to the Secretary of the Company prior to the date that the Eligible Director becomes a Director, and such Election Form shall be irrevocable on the date he or she first becomes an Eligible Director for that calendar year with respect to any election (or lack of election) to receive Restricted Stock Units.

(b)      Restricted Stock Units .

(i)      Account . Upon the grant of Restricted Stock Units to an Eligible Director, such units shall be credited to an account established for such Eligible Director. A Restricted Stock Unit shall be treated as granted on the corresponding Accounting Date or last day of the calendar quarter relating to the fees for which the Restricted Stock Units are determined. Each Eligible Director shall receive an annual statement showing the number of Restricted Stock Units that have been credited to the Eligible Director's account under the Program.

(ii) Dividend Equivalent Credits . An Eligible Director's account shall be credited with Dividend Equivalent Credits equivalent to the amount of dividends paid by the Company to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock based on the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Eligible Director's account on the dividend record date for shares of Common Stock. Such Dividend Equivalent Credit shall be converted into an equivalent number of Restricted Stock Units (including fractional Restricted Stock Units) based on the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the related dividend payment date and such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same distribution timing as the underlying Restricted Stock Units to which the Dividend Equivalent Credits related. If a dividend is paid in cash, each Eligible Director shall be credited, as of each applicable dividend payment date, in accordance with the following formula:
(A X B) / C

in which “A” equals the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Eligible Director on the dividend record date, “B” equals the cash dividend per share and “C” equals the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the dividend payment date. If a dividend is paid in property other than cash, Dividend Equivalent Credits shall be credited, as of the applicable dividend payment date, in accordance with the formula set forth above, except that “B” shall equal the fair market value per share of the property that the Eligible Director would have received in respect of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units held by the Eligible Director as of the dividend record date, had such shares been owned by the Eligible Director as of the record date for such dividend.

(iii)      Time of Payment . All payments in respect of an Eligible Director's Restricted Stock Units shall be made as soon as practicable but not more than ninety (90) days following the earlier of (A) the Eligible Director's death (B) the occurrence of a Change in Control, and (C) the specific date (including upon the Eligible Director's Separation from Service) the Eligible Director has elected to receive payment pursuant to the applicable Election Form pursuant to which such Eligible Director elected to receive such Restricted Stock Units in lieu of cash. If distribution is to be made upon a Separation from Service and the individual is a “specified employee,” as defined




under Code section 409A, on the date of such Separation from Service, then no distribution will be made before the date that is six (6) months after the date of the individual's Separation from Services, or if earlier, upon his or her death.

(iv)      Form of Payment . Payment in respect of Restricted Stock Units shall be made in one lump sum payment in the form of shares of Common Stock. For purposes of the preceding sentence, any payment made upon the occurrence of a Change in Control in full or partial payment of Restricted Stock Units shall be made in cash in an amount equal the Change in Control Price multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units (including fractional units).

(c)      Stock Plan .

All shares of Common Stock and all Restricted Stock Units awarded pursuant to this Section 7 shall be awarded under, and in accordance with, the terms of the Stock Plan. Restricted Stock Units awarded hereunder shall be considered Other Stock-Based Awards under the Plan.

SECTION 8. CHANGE IN CONTROL

(a)      For purposes of this Section 8, “Act” shall mean the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

(b)      For purposes of the Program, a “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred if any one of the following events shall occur:

(i)      the consummation of a transaction or series of related transactions during a 12-month period in which a person, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Act) that owns (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) less than 35% of the combined voting power of the Company's outstanding voting stock prior to such transaction or the first of such series of related transactions), other than the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, or any employee benefit plan of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, acquires ownership (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) of 35% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding voting stock (other than in connection with a Business Combination in which clauses (1) and (2) of Section 8(b) (iii) apply); or

(ii)      a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors is replaced during any 12-month period by directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Company's Board of Directors prior to the date of the election or appointment; or

(iii)      the consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company, a sale or other disposition in a transaction or series of related transactions within a 12-month period of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or the issuance by the Company of its stock in connection with the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity (each, a “Business Combination”) in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the owners of the Company's outstanding voting stock immediately prior to such Business Combination own (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) immediately after the transaction or transactions more than 50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting stock (or comparable equity interests) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company




or all or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through one of more subsidiaries), and (2) no person, entity or group (other than a direct or indirect parent entity of the Company that, after giving effect to the Business Combination, beneficially owns 100% of the outstanding voting securities (or comparable equity interests) of the entity resulting from the Business Combination) has acquired, during a 12-month period, ownership (after application of the attribution rules of Section 318 of the Code) of 35% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting stock (or comparable equity interests) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination.

Notwithstanding anything herein stated, no Change in Control shall be deemed to occur unless such event constitutes a change in ownership or effective control, or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets, of a business under Code section 409A.

SECTION 9. AMENDMENT; TERMINATION

The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Program in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment which requires stockholder approval in order for the exemptions available under Rule 16b-3 to be applicable to the Program and the Eligible Directors shall be effective unless the same shall be approved by the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote thereon.

SECTION 10. RIGHTS OF ELIGIBLE DIRECTORS

Nothing contained in the Program or with respect to any grant shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the stockholders of the Company to remove any Eligible Director from the Board pursuant to the bylaws of the Company, nor confer upon any Eligible Director any right to continue in the service of the Company as a director.

SECTION 11. GENERAL RESTRICTIONS

(a)      Investment Representations . The Company may require any Eligible Director to whom Common Stock is issued, as a condition of receiving such Common Stock, to give written assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that such person is acquiring the Common Stock for his or her own account for investment and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to such other effects as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws.

(b)      Compliance with Securities Laws . Each issuance shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time counsel to the Company shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental or regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of shares thereunder, such issuance may not be accepted or exercised in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Committee. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Company to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification.

(c)      Nontransferability . Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, Restricted Stock Units under this Program shall not be transferable by an Eligible Director other than by the laws of descent and distribution.





(d)      No Acceleration of Distribution of Restricted Stock Units . The distribution of Restricted Stock Units may not be accelerated, including upon termination of the Program, if such acceleration would cause the distribution to become subject to tax under Code Section 409A.

SECTION 12. WITHHOLDING

The Company may defer making payments or delivering shares of Common Stock under the Program for up to 30 days to ensure that satisfactory arrangements have been made for the payment of any federal, state or local income or employment taxes that the Company reasonably determines in its sole discretion are required to be withheld with respect to such payment or delivery.

SECTION 13. GOVERNING LAW

The Program and all rights hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal law, and not the law of conflicts, of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 14. UNFUNDED PROGRAM

The Program shall be unfunded and shall not create (or be construed to create) a trust or a separate fund or funds. The Program shall not establish any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Eligible Director or other person. To the extent any person holds any rights by virtue of a grant under the Program, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

SECTION 15. HEADINGS

The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Program.

The purpose of this Agreement is to evidence the terms and conditions of an award of performance-based restricted stock granted to the Participant under the Plan.
Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Participant hereby agree as follows:
Section 1.      Award of Performance-Based Restricted Stock . Effective «GrantDt» (the “Effective Date”), the Company granted to the Participant a restricted stock award of «GrantDt»(«GrantDt») shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with the terms of the Plan (the “Restricted Stock Award”).
Section 2.      Rights with Respect to the Shares .
(a)      Stockholder Rights . With respect to the Shares, the Participant shall be entitled at all times on and after the date of issuance of the Shares to exercise the rights of a stockholder of Common Stock of the Company, including the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive dividends on the Shares as provided in Section 2(b) hereof, unless and until the Shares are forfeited pursuant to Section 3 hereof. However, the Shares shall be nontransferable and subject to a risk of forfeiture to the Company at all times prior to the dates on which such Shares become vested, and the restrictions with respect to the Shares lapse, in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.
(b)      Dividends . As a condition to receiving the Shares under the Plan, the Participant hereby agrees to defer the receipt of dividends paid on the Shares. Cash dividends or other cash distributions paid with respect to the Shares prior to the date or dates the Shares vest shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as the Shares to which they relate, shall be promptly deposited with the Secretary of the Company or a custodian designated by the Secretary, and shall be forfeited in the event that the Shares with respect to which the dividends were paid are forfeited.
(c)      Issuance of Shares . The Company shall cause the Shares to be issued in the Participant's name or in a nominee name on the Participant's behalf, either by book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Shares, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Secretary of the Company or the stock transfer agent or brokerage service selected by the Secretary of the Company to provide such services for the Plan. The Shares shall be restricted from transfer and shall be subject to an appropriate stop-transfer order. If any certificate is issued, the certificate shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to the Shares. The Participant hereby agrees to the retention by the Company of the Shares and, if a stock certificate is issued, the




Participant agrees to execute and deliver to the Company a blank stock power with respect to the Shares as a condition to the receipt of this Restricted Stock Award. After any Shares vest pursuant to Section 3 hereof, and following payment of the applicable withholding taxes pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued a certificate or certificates, registered in the Participant's name, evidencing such vested whole Shares (less any Shares withheld to pay withholding taxes) and shall cause such certificate or certificates to be delivered to the Participant free of the legend and the stop-transfer order referenced above. The Company will not deliver any fractional Share but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share at the time certificates evidencing the Shares are delivered to the Participant.
Section 3.      Vesting; Forfeiture .
(a)      Vesting . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and except as otherwise provided in Section 3(c) hereof, the Shares shall vest, and the restrictions with respect to the Shares shall lapse, in accordance with the performance criteria and vesting schedule set forth on Exhibit A if the Participant remains continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company until such respective vesting dates. The Committee shall validate whether the performance criteria described in Exhibit A were achieved. Such validation shall be made at a meeting of the Committee next following the end of the performance period, shall be based on the Company's audited financial statements and shall be final and conclusive with respect to the achievement of the performance criteria.
(b)      Forfeiture . Except as otherwise provided in Section 3(c) hereof, if the Participant ceases to be employed by the Company and all Affiliates of the Company for any reason prior to the vesting of the Shares pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof, Participant's rights to all of the unvested Shares shall be immediately and irrevocably forfeited, including the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive dividends on such Shares.     
(c)      Change in Control; Job Elimination Due to Restructuring: Death Disability . Notwithstanding the vesting and forfeiture provisions contained in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) hereof, but subject to the other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement:
(i)      in the event the Company or an Affiliate terminates the Participant's employment with the Company and all Affiliates of the Company for any reason other than death, Disability or Termination for Cause within two (2) years following a Change in Control and , if (and only if) the required performance criteria described in Exhibit A have been met such that the only remaining criteria for vesting is the passage of time, then the Participant shall become immediately vested in all of the Shares, and the restrictions with respect to the Shares shall lapse, as of the date of such termination of employment.
(ii) in the event the Company or an Affiliate terminates the Participant's employment with the Company by eliminating the Participant's position as part of a restructuring program (other than Termination for Cause or under subparagraph 3(c)(i) above) or a Participant dies or is deemed to have suffered a Disability, then the Participant shall be vested in a portion of the Shares based on the achievement of the relevant performance standard for the Performance Period occurring during the year of termination, as if the Participant had remained employed until the end of the calendar year, but only to the extent such performance standard has been achieved. Vesting shall occur in accordance with Section 3(a). Participant shall not be entitled to any other payments under this Performance Award for Performance Periods ending after the year of termination.
(d)      Early Vesting . Except as provided in Section 3(c) hereof or unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, and notwithstanding any provisions contained in the




Severance Agreement, in no event will any of the Shares vest prior to their respective vesting dates set forth in Section 3(a) hereof.
(e)      Clawback . In the event that after the grant of the Restricted Stock Award but prior to a Change in Control (1) the Company issues a material restatement of an initial financial statement, and (2) the Participant engaged in intentional misconduct that caused or contributed to the need for such a restatement because of material noncompliance by the Company with applicable financial reporting requirements (a “Forfeiture Event”), the Participant, at the request of the Committee made within 90 days after the restatement, shall forfeit those Shares, if any, owned by the Participant at the time of the initial financial statement that is subsequently restated, regardless of whether those Shares are subject to restrictions at such time or whether the restrictions on such Shares shall have lapsed (the “Forfeitable Shares”). In addition, if a Forfeiture Event occurs, the Participant, at the Committee's request (which request must be made within 90 days after the restatement), shall forfeit all dividends deferred pursuant to Section 2(b) with respect to the Forfeitable Shares that then remain subject to restrictions prior to the Committee's request and promptly remit to the Company cash equal to the Net Dividends (as hereinafter defined) received by the Participant at any time on the Forfeitable Shares. If the Forfeitable Shares are not owned by the Participant at the time of the Committee's request, the Participant shall promptly remit to the Company the “Net Proceeds” (as hereinafter defined) from any sale, after the issuance of an initial financial statement that is subsequently restated, of Forfeitable Shares in lieu of the Forfeitable Shares. “Net Dividends” or “Net Proceeds” shall mean dividends or proceeds, as the case may be net of taxes paid or payable by the Participant as a result of the receipt of such dividends and the sale of such Shares in an amount reasonably determined by the Committee but including interest on the amount of cash repaid from the date of the receipt by Participant of such dividends or sale proceeds to the date of payment of such amount to the Company at a rate reasonably determined by the Committee. The Committee may, but shall not be required by Participant to, reduce the forfeiture, return and/or payment obligations hereunder to the extent that the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem appropriate. Nothing herein shall limit any other rights the Company shall have by law for misconduct of the Participant that caused or contributed to the need for such restatement.
Section 4.      Restrictions on Transfer . Until the Shares vest pursuant to Section 3 hereof, neither the Shares, nor any right with respect to the Shares under this Agreement, may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, hypothecated (by operation of law or otherwise) or otherwise conveyed or encumbered and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other conveyance or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.
Section 5.      Distributions and Adjustments .
(a)      If any Shares vest subsequent to any change in the number or character of the Common Stock of the Company through any stock dividend or other distribution, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or other similar corporate transaction or event such that an adjustment is necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under this Agreement, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of the number and type of such Shares.
(b)      Any additional shares of Common Stock of the Company, any other securities of the Company and any other property distributed with respect to the Shares prior to the date or dates the Shares vest shall be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as the Shares to which they relate and shall be promptly deposited with the Secretary of the Company or a custodian designated by the Secretary.




Section 6.      Taxes .
(a)      The Participant acknowledges that the Participant will consult with the Participant's personal tax adviser regarding the income tax consequences of the grant of the Shares, payment of dividends on the Shares, the vesting of the Shares and any other matters related to this Agreement. In order to comply with all applicable federal, state, local or foreign income tax laws or regulations, the Company may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all applicable federal, state, local or foreign payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which are the Participant's sole and absolute responsibility, are withheld or collected from the Participant.
(b)      In accordance with the terms of the Plan, and such rules as may be adopted by the Committee administering the Plan, the Participant may elect to satisfy tax withholding obligations arising from the receipt of, or the lapse of restrictions relating to, the Shares by (i) delivering cash, check, bank draft, money order or wire transfer payable to the order of the Company, (ii) having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be delivered having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes, or (iii) delivering to the Company shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes. The Company will not deliver any fractional Share but will pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional Share. The Participant's election must be made on or before the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. If the Participant does not make an election, the Company will withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise to be delivered having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes.
