Explanation of Responses:
1. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of GMCR common stock. The price of a share of the company's common stock on the date of grant was $54.12.
2. Options and restricted stock units vest in four equal and consecutive installments beginning on the first anniversary of the Grant Date. Upon termination of service, all then vested options remain exercisable for the first to occur of four years from the date of termination or the normal expiration date of the option. For the first two years post-termination, all options and restricted stock units continue to vest according to their normal schedule. Any options that vest during this two year period will then be exercisable for the earlier to occur of the normal expiration date of the option or the date which is four years from the date of termination. At the end of the two year period post-retirement, all then unvested options and restricted stock units automatically vest. Options remain exercisable for the first to occur of the date of normal expiration of the option or two years from the date they automatically vested.
