        <footnote id="F1">The award will vest on October 28, 2017 but acceleration of the vesting will occur if the reported net income of Avatech Solutions, Inc. for the year ended June 30, 2008 is greater than $2 million.  If the net income target is met and the gross margin for the Services business equals or exceeds the budgeted target, there is an additional acceleration of shares.  The amount of accelerated vesting ranges from 20,000 shares if the net income is $2 million to the full 100,000 shares if reported net income is greater than $4 million and all other targets are met.</footnote>
