Approval of Amendments to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
At the Annual Meeting, the stockholders of the Company also approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) (i) increasing the aggregate number of shares reserved for purchase under the ESPP by 1,000,000 shares and (ii) extending the Company’s ability to grant new awards under the ESPP until January 31, 2023. The Board of Directors adopted the amendments to the ESPP on February 5, 2013, subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting.

Grant of RSUs
On March 19, 2013, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement with the Company as previously disclosed, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors granted Andrew P. Mooney, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, 1,200,000 restricted stock units (or “RSUs”) pursuant to the 2013 Plan. The RSUs will vest if during any consecutive 30-day period the weighted average per share trading price of the Company’s common stock (as reported on the New York Stock Exchange) equals or exceeds $12.50, however, if such threshold is achieved prior to the first anniversary of the grant date, the RSUs will not become vested until such first anniversary. The RSUs will vest on an accelerated
2
basis in the event of certain corporate transactions or a change in control pursuant to which the holders of the Company’s common stock become entitled to receive per-share consideration having a value equal to or greater than $9.28. In the event of a corporate transaction or change in control resulting in per-share consideration less than such amount, the RSUs will only vest in the sole discretion of the board of directors. Vesting of the RSUs requires Mr. Mooney to remain in the Company’s service through the vesting date, provided, however, that if his service terminates due to death, permanent disability, retirement, termination by the Company other than for misconduct, or termination by Mr. Mooney for Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement), then he will retain the number of RSUs equal to the total number of RSUs granted multiplied by the number of whole months which have passed since the grant date, divided by 43, which RSUs will remain subject to vesting. The RSUs will terminate if they do not vest prior to November 1, 2016. This summary of the RSU grant to Mr. Mooney is not complete and reference should be made to the complete text of the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
