(i) The perquisites and other personal benefits received by Mr. Hesse in 2013 consisted of: non-business use of our corporate aircraft by Mr. Hesse and his family, which
had an incremental cost to us of $6,686; costs for security services for Mr. Hesse's residence, which had an incremental cost to us of $8,687; and $226,794 in legal
fees relating to the negotiation of Mr. Hesse's employment contract.
The incremental cost of use of our aircraft is calculated by dividing the total variable costs (such as fuel, aircraft maintenance, engine warranty expense,
contract labor expense and other trip expenses) by the total flight hours for the past twelve months and multiplying such amount by the individual's total number of flight
hours for non-business use for the year.
The Compensation Committee has established an overall security program for Mr. Hesse. Under the security program, we provided Mr. Hesse with
residential security systems and equipment and he was required to use our aircraft for business travel as well as non-business travel. Mr. Hesse was permitted to have
his family accompany him on the corporate aircraft for business and non-business travel.
The amount disclosed for Mr. Elfman consists of relocation costs of $143,549 in connection with relocation of Mr. Elfman's principal place of work to Seattle,
Washington and $29,173 in related tax gross-ups. For more information regarding Mr. Elfman's relocation, see "—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—
