Footnotes

This price is the weighted average price of the 50,000 shares of Heartland Payment Systems, Inc.'s (the "Issuer") common stock sold. The prices actually paid for the shares of the Issuer's common stock sold ranged from $19.64 to $20.10. The reporting person will provide to the Issuer, any security holder of the Issuer or the SEC Staff, upon request, information regarding the number of shares sold at each price within the range of prices actually paid.
The reporting person's indirect beneficial ownership consists of 400,000 shares of the Issuer's common stock held by The Robert O. Carr 2001 Charitable Remainder Unitrust and 201,391 shares of the Issuer's common stock held by The Robert O. Carr 2000 Irrevocable Trust for Emily Carr. The reporting person continues to report beneficial ownership of all of the Issuer's common stock held by The Robert O. Carr 2001 Charitable Remainder Unitrust but disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. The reporting person also disclaims beneficial ownership of the Issuer's common stock held by The Robert O. Carr 2000 Irrevocable Trust for Emily Carr. This report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of the shares of the Issuer's common stock for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
On July 22, 2010, the option was granted with vesting in four equal installments over a four year period. As of the date of this filing, 75,000 of the options have vested and 225,000 options remain unvested.
The restricted stock units granted on December 10, 2010 and disclosed in the Form 4 filed on December 14, 2010 are subject to the vesting and performance-criteria set forth in footnotes (6) and (7) below.
Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock.
Each restricted stock unit will vest 50% on March 1, 2013, 25% on March 1, 2014, and 25% on March 1, 2015 only if over the term of these restricted stock units, the following diluted earnings per share targets for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 are achieved.:2012: $1.482013: $1.742014: $2.04Diluted earnings per share will be calculated on a pro forma basis to exclude non-operating gains and losses, if any, and excluding the after-tax impact of stock compensation expense.(Continued in footnote 7)
These performance-based restricted stock units are subject to a "catch-up" provision pursuant to which the restricted stock units will vest from earlier years in which the diluted earnings per share goals were not attained if the diluted earnings per share goals in later years are attained.In addition, in the event of a "change of control" of the Issuer (as defined in its Amended and Restated 2008 Equity Incentive Plan) that was approved by a majority of the Issuer's Board of Directors and its stockholders that represents a 25% premium in the Issuer's common stock price over the average trading price of its common stock over the thirty trading days prior to the offer for the Issuer and the acquisition of the Issuer is completed thereto, then all of these restricted stock units granted will vest and the shares of the Issuer's common stock underlying such restricted stock units will be issued and delivered.
