2. On the date in column 3, in connection with the Reporting Person's service as an officer and director of the Corporation, the Reporting Person was granted an award as stated in the rows denoted as "A" in column 4, which shall vest over a three-year period, with (i) 25% of the grant vesting immediately and (ii) the balance vesting ratably over the next 12 consecutive calendar quarters (6.25% per calendar quarter). The Reporting Person has indicated that he will have 36% of the shares vested on each vesting date for tax purposes.

3. Represents the total direct and indirect beneficial ownership of the security held by the Reporting Person immediately following the issuance reported by this Form 4. Amount is gross of shares to be sold upon vesting for tax purposes. Upon each vesting date, the number of shares vested shall be deducted from the amount of shares listed in Column 9, and the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned shall be increased by the number of shares deducted from Column 9, less the number of shares sold for income tax purposes on behalf of the Reporting Person.
