On March 21, 2013, the Compensation Committee awarded 20,000 shares of restricted common stock to two of our three named executive officers. The restricted shares issued to Messrs. Hazlett and Lawrence vest one year from the grant date. We also awarded and issued 10,000 shares of restricted stock to each member of our Board of Directors as partial payment for 2013 Directors' fees. The restricted stock vests in quarterly installments beginning March 31, 2014. In accordance with Mr. Taylor's employment agreement, the Compensation Committee reviewed his performance in determining the issuance of restricted common stock. Based on this review which included consideration of the Company's 2012 performance, Mr. Taylor, our Chief Executive Officer, was awarded 56,950 restricted shares on April 30, 2013, which vest one year from the date of grant. Total compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $1,011,727 and $727,658 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, there was a total of $1,188,685 of unrecognized compensation expenses related to these shares which is expected to be recognized in 0.9 years.
