its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the &#147;Registered Securities&#148;), which have been
reserved for issuance and are issuable pursuant to (i)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan,
as amended from time to time (the &#147;LTIP Plan&#148;) and (ii)&nbsp;the individual awards of stock appreciation
rights awarded to certain of the Company&#146;s employees, officers and directors (the &#147;SAR Awards&#148; and
together with the LTIP Plan, the &#147;Plans&#148;).
