Auction rate securities are debt instruments with long-term nominal maturity dates for which the interest rates are reset through a dutch auction process, typically every 7, 28 or 35 days. Interest is paid at the end of each auction period, and the auction normally serves as the mechanism for securities holders to sell their existing positions to interested buyers. As at February 27, 2010, the Company held $40.5 million in face value of investment grade auction rate securities which are experiencing failed auctions as a result of more sell orders than buy orders, and these auctions have not yet returned to normal operations. The interest rate for these securities has been set at the maximum rate specified in the program documents and interest continues to be paid every 28 days as scheduled. The Company has adjusted the reported value to reflect an unrealized loss of $7.7 million in fiscal 2009, which the Company considers temporary and is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In valuing these securities, the Company used a multi-year investment horizon and considered the underlying risk of the securities and the current market interest rate environment. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until such time that market liquidity returns to normal levels, and does not consider the principal or interest amounts on these securities to be materially at risk at this time. As there is uncertainty as to when market liquidity for auction rate securities will return to normal, the Company has classified the failing auction rate securities as long-term investments on the balance sheet. As at February 27, 2010, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired.</td> </tr> </table> </div> </div>

Pricing inputs by the service provider are generally received from two primary vendors. The pricing inputs are reviewed for completeness, tolerance and accuracy on a daily basis by the service provider. The Company also reviews and understands the inputs used in the valuation process and assesses the pricing of the securities for reasonableness. To do this, the Company utilizes internally developed models to estimate fair value. Inputs into the internally developed models may include benchmark yields, reported trades, quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark curves (including Treasury benchmarks, LIBOR and swap curves), discount rates, derivative indices, recovery and default rates, prepayment rates, trustee reports, bids/offers and other reference data. In the event the Company disagrees with the pricing from the service provider, the Company will challenge the pricing and work with the service provider to determine the most reasonable fair value.</td> </tr> </table> </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"> <tr valign="top" style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background: transparent"> <td width="3%" nowrap="nowrap" align="left"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td>The fair value of currency forward contracts has been estimated using market quoted currency spot rates and interest rates.

As the repricing of stock options reflects an increase in the exercise price of the option, there is no incremental stock compensation expense related to these repricing events.</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font-size: 6pt"> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top" style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background: transparent"> <td width="3%" nowrap="nowrap" align="left"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td>As previously disclosed, the Company’s Co-Chief Executive Officers voluntarily offered to assist the Company in defraying costs incurred in connection with the Review and the Restatement by contributing CAD $10.0 million (CAD $5.0 million by each Co-CEO) of those costs. As part of a settlement agreement reached with a pension fund, an additional CAD $5.0 million (CAD $2.5 million by each Co-CEO) was received in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The Company received these voluntary payments in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2008 and were recorded net of income taxes as an increase to additional paid-in capital. Furthermore, as part of a settlement agreement reached with the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”), on February 5, 2009, Messrs. Balsillie, Lazaridis and Kavelman also agreed to contribute, in aggregate, a total of approximately CAD $83.1 million to RIM, consisting of (i) a total of CAD $38.3 million to RIM in respect of the outstanding benefit arising from incorrectly priced stock options granted to all RIM employees from 1996 to 2006, and (ii) a total of CAD $44.8 million to RIM (CAD $15.0 million of which had previously been paid) to defray costs incurred by RIM in the investigation and remediation of stock options, granting practices and related governance practices at RIM. These contributions are being made through Messrs. Balsillie, Lazaridis and Kavelman undertaking not to exercise certain vested RIM options to acquire an aggregate of 1,160,129 common shares of RIM. These options have a fair value equal to the aggregate contribution amounts determined using a BSM calculation based on the last trading day prior to the day the OSC issued a notice of hearing in respect of the matters giving rise to the settlement. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, options to acquire an aggregate of 758,837 common shares of RIM expired in satisfaction of the undertakings not to exercise options. These options are included in the disclosure of forfeitures during the period in the table below. The remaining options subject to the undertakings are shown as outstanding, vested and exercisable as at February 27, 2010 in the table below and expire at specified dates between February 28, 2010 and October 2013. Messrs. Balsillie, Lazaridis, Kavelman and Angelo Loberto, previously Vice-President of Finance (currently with the Company in another role), also paid a total of CAD $9.1 million to the OSC as an administrative penalty and towards the costs of the OSC’s investigation.</td> </tr> </table> </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"> <tr valign="top" style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background: transparent"> <td width="3%" nowrap="nowrap" align="left"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td>In June 2007, the Board amended the Stock Option Plan to provide that options held by directors of the Company will not terminate upon a director ceasing to be a director of the Company if such person is appointed as a Director Emeritus of the Board.

The Company may be subject to claims (including claims related to patent infringement, purported class actions and derivative actions) either directly or through indemnities against these claims that it provides to certain of it partners. In particular, the industry in which the Company competes has many participants that own, or claim to own, intellectual property, including participants that have been issued patents and may have filed patent applications or may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights for technologies similar to those used by the Company in its products. The Company has received, and may receive in the future, assertions and claims from third parties that the Company’s products infringe on their patents or other intellectual property rights. Litigation has been and will likely continue to be necessary to determine the scope, enforceability and validity of third-party proprietary rights or to establish the Company’s proprietary rights. Regardless of whether claims that the Company is infringing patents or other intellectual property rights have any merit, those claims could be time-consuming to evaluate and defend, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, subject the Company to significant liabilities and could have other effects. Additional lawsuits and claims, including purported class actions and derivative actions, may also be filed or made based upon the Company’s historical stock option granting practices.</td> </tr> </table> </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> <div style="margin-top: 6pt"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-size: 10pt; text-align: left"> <tr valign="top" style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background: transparent"> <td width="1%" nowrap="nowrap" align="left"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font-size: 6pt"> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top" style="font-size: 10pt; color: #000000; background: transparent"> <td width="1%" nowrap="nowrap" align="left"> </td> <td width="1%"> </td> <td>Management reviews all of the relevant facts for each claim and applies judgment in evaluating the likelihood and, if applicable, the amount of any potential loss.

March 1, 2008 – loss of $5.3 million). For the year ended February 27, 2010, the Company recorded a $54.3 million charge primarily relating to the reversal of foreign exchange gains previously recorded in fiscal 2009 on the revaluation of Canadian dollar denominated tax liability balances. Throughout fiscal 2009, foreign exchange gains were offset by foreign exchange losses incurred as a part of the Company’s risk management foreign currency hedging program. With the enactment of changes to the functional currency tax legislation by the Government of Canada in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company changed the basis for calculating its income tax provision for its Canadian operations from Canadian dollars, to the U.S. dollar, its reporting currency with an effective date being the beginning of fiscal 2009. The gains realized on the revaluation of these tax liabilities previously denominated in Canadian dollars throughout fiscal 2009 were reversed upon enactment of the changes to the rules in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.</td> </tr> </table> </div>   </div>  <div style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif"> <div align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0pt"> <b> </b> </div> </div>
