Explanation of Responses: |
1. The options vest 1/3 on 1/15/2015, and the remaining 2/3 will vest in equal installments on the second and third anniversaries after 1/15/2014. |
2. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock. |
3. The restricted stock units vest in four equal amounts (25% each) as follows: 25% on the date of grant and 25% when the 20 trading day volume weighted average price of the Issuer's common stock equals or exceeds $4.15, $5.15 and $6.15. The unvested restricted stock units expire on June 30, 2016 if a vesting threshold has not been met by that date. |
4. Upon the immediate vesting on April 5, 2013 of 50,000 restricted stock units granted to the reporting person on April 5, 2013, the reporting person elected to defer the receipt of those 50,000 shares of common stock, resulting in the accrual to his phantom stock account of 50,000 shares of phantom stock. |
5. Each share of phantom stock represents the right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock. |
6. The phantom stock becomes payable on the earliest to occur of (a) termination of employment, (b) a change in control of the Issuer, or (c) April 1, 2015. |
