The SARs represent the right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to the SARs being exercised by the Reporting Person, multiplied by the a mount by which the fair market value of the Common Stock on the exercise date exceeds the base price of the SARs, by (ii) the fair market value of the Common Stock on the exercise date; provided that fractional shares will not be issued and will instead be paid in cash. The SARs will be settled by the issuance of shares of Common Stock or, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, in cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Person is not reporting beneficial ownership of the shares subject to the SARs because they cannot be settled within 60 days of this Amendment.
