On May 6, 2016, the performance vesting criteria was determined to have been met such that 4,934 shares of restricted stock became earned and reportable on such date.  The remaining shares of restricted stock have been forfeited.  The restrictions on the shares will lapse ratably on May 11, 2016 and March 31 of 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.</footnote>
