The DSUs will vest on the day immediately preceding the date of the Issuer's annual meeting of stockholders that occurs in the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the date of grant occurs, so long as the Reporting Person continuously provides services to the Issuer through such vesting date. Pursuant to the Reporting Person's election under the award agreement, settlement of the vested DSUs has been deferred until the date that is the third anniversary of the date of grant.</footnote>
