Footnotes

This transaction was part of an authorized exercise of 20,000 options expiring in November 2011, and sale of the 20,000 exercised shares under a 10b5-1 selling plan executed by Mr. Palagiano on May 31, 2011. The transaction called for an exercise and sale only in the event a sale price of $14.50 could be met for the common stock. A portion of this transaction was completed on June 24, 2011, however, since the full 20,000 share exercise and sale was not completed until June 30, 2011, the shares sold on June 24, 2011 were temporarily funded from existing DCOM shares held in Mr. Palagiano's brokerage account, and his broker requested funding for the full 20,000 shares upon completing the authorized 20,000 share transaction on June 30, 2011. Since the instructions provided by Mr. Palagiano in his 10b5-1 plan clearly linked the exercise and sale, the full 20,000 share transaction is being reported as having occured on June 30, 2011.
