(i) Each non-employee director receives an annual fee of $37,500, plus $1,000 for attendance at each Board and Board Committee meeting, except that the fee for attendance at Board and Board Committee meetings held telephonically and of not more than one hour in duration is $500.00. In addition, the chairperson of the Human Resources Committee and of the Nominating and Governance Committee each receive an additional annual fee of $8,000, and the chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual fee of $15,000.

(ii) Each non-employee director is eligible to participate in the Company’s 2011 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “2011 Stock Plan”). The 2011 Stock Plan provides for the automatic grant to each non-employee director, on the last day on which our common stock is traded in each November through the year 2015, of nonqualified stock options to purchase 4,000 shares of CSS common stock at an exercise price per share equal to the closing price per share of CSS common stock on the date the stock options are granted. Each option granted under the 2011 Stock Plan expires five years after the date the option was granted. Twenty-five percent of the shares underlying each stock option grant become exercisable on each of the first four anniversaries of the date of grant. These installments are cumulative and exercisable during the remainder of the term of the option.
