Sellers, instead of delivering $5,000,000 of cash to the Sellers. We agreed that the number of shares of common stock to be issued by us would be determined by dividing $5,000,000 by the closing price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select
Market on the business day prior to the issuance of such common stock. We also agreed in the Merger Agreement Amendment to file a registration statement on Form S-3 to permit the Trust to sell the shares described in this paragraph as well as any
additional earn-out shares described below that we are obligated to issue under the Merger Agreement Amendment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The earn-out target
described above was satisfied with respect to the twelve months ended August&nbsp;31, 2013, and we thereafter issued 827,000 shares of common stock to the Sellers in reliance upon the securities registration exemption contained in Section&nbsp;4(2)
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;<B>Securities Act</B>&#148;), for a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. Those 827,000 shares are not covered by this prospectus. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;11, 2013, we issued 172,117 shares of common stock to the Trust, based upon a closing price of $29.05 per share for our common
stock on The NASDAQ Global Select Market on October&nbsp;10, 2013, in conjunction with our obligation under the Merger Agreement Amendment to deliver $5,000,000 of common stock to the Trust. Those 172,117 shares are being offered by the Trust
pursuant to this prospectus and were issued by us in reliance upon the Section&nbsp;4(2) securities registration exemption described in the preceding paragraph. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We agreed in the Merger Agreement Amendment to provide the Trust with the following payment if the Trust sells any of those 172,117 shares on
The NASDAQ Global Select Market during the 30-day period starting on the date that the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC for a price that is less per share than the closing price of $29.05 that was used to determine the number
of shares to be issued by us to the Trust: We will issue to the Trust additional shares of common stock with a value equal to the difference between the sales price that the Trust would have received had it been able to sell such shares for $29.05
per share and the sales price that was, in fact, received by the Trust for such shares. Based upon a comparison between the $29.05 closing price that we used in valuing the $5,000,000 of stock that we issued to the Trust on October&nbsp;11, 2013 and
the lowest closing price, equal to $24.76 per share, for our common stock since July&nbsp;1, 2013, we estimate that the maximum number of additional shares of our common stock that we may be obligated to issue to the Trust if it sells all of such
172,117 shares during the 30-day period after the effective date of the registration statement is 29,822 shares, although the exact number of shares (if any) that we will be obligated to issue depends upon the actual price of our common stock during
such 30-day period and upon the number of shares (if any) that the Trust sells during such period. Those additional 29,822 estimated shares are also covered by this prospectus, in accordance with our agreement in the Merger Agreement Amendment to
provide registration rights for those shares. Any shares that we may become obligated to issue beyond those 29,822 shares are not covered by this prospectus. </P>
