        <footnote id="F1">The original Form 3 reported vesting and exercisability for the Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) award issued to Mr. Ludwig on April 29, 2011. The form did not report vesting and exercisability for the Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) award issued to Mr. Ludwig on April 29, 2010. The correct reporting is as follows: (a) Restricted Stock Units issued April 29, 2010 vest and are exercisable in four equal annual installments on each April 29 of 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. (b) Restricted Stock Units issued April 29, 2011 vest and are exercisable in four equal annual installments on each April 29 of 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.
If the applicable vest date is not on a market trading day during an open trading window the units will be released thereafter on the first market trading day during an open trading window under the Issuer's insider trading policy.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">If the reporting person's employment is terminated for any reason before an applicable Vesting Date, all options and/or restricted stock units that have not yet vested shall be forfeited without consideration, except as provided in the change of control severance agreement and any other agreements regarding award vesting and exercisability between the reporting person and Issuer, which agreements or form agreements are filed with the SEC.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">This amended Form 3 is being filed in conjunction with the vesting and exercisability restatement found in Footnote (1), to correct the total number of securities underlying the Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) awards issued to Mr. Ludwig. The total underlying securities were originally reported as 33,000 units. The correct number of underlying securities was 32,250 units due to an RSU release processed prior to Mr. Ludwig becoming a Section 16 reporting person.
As a result of the incorrect number of securities being reported on the Form 3, the subsequent Form 4 filed on May 4, 2012 also reflected an incorrect number of securities beneficially owned following the reported transactions.</footnote>
