3. Represents performance rights granted pursuant to the Plan.

4. Each performance right represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock.

The performance shares will vest on April 1, 2020, subject to the reporting person's continuous employment through April 1, 2020 and subject to certain conditions as detailed in the Plan. Performance rights granted represents the target shares and actual performance rights earned could be anywhere from 0 to 200% of the number of performance rights granted. The performance rights expire upon payout, if any, of the award.
