          (e)      On May 12, 2010, Zygo Corporation (“Zygo”) implemented changes to the temporary salary reductions for its employees, including executive officers, all retroactive to May 1, 2010. Prior to May 12, 2010, Zygo had instituted a series of salary reductions that reduced the salaries of its executive officers by 20%. In light of improving business conditions, the salary reductions for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers of Zygo were decreased from 20% to 12%.

          (e)      Pursuant to his previously disclosed employment agreement with Zygo, Dr. Chris L. Koliopoulos, Zygo’s Chief Executive Officer, was entitled to a target bonus opportunity equal to up to 50% of his base salary for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2010, based upon the attainment of performance objectives. On May 12, 2010, Dr. Koliopoulos offered and voluntarily agreed that he would forego any compensation payable to him pursuant to this target bonus opportunity for Zygo’s 2010 fiscal year.
