        <footnote id="F1">Amount reflects the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock received after exercise of an option to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock.  The exercise was a &quot;cashless exercise&quot; that covered the cost required for the exercise of the option and the tax withholdings associated with such exercise.  The difference between the aggregate number of 75,000 shares underlying the option and the 19,692 shares ultimately acquired by the reporting person represents 55,308 shares withheld by the issuer at a market price of $7.36 per share to cover such costs.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Option was granted in connection with a Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement by and between the Company and Mr. De Heer, effective as of June 23, 2011.</footnote>
