        <footnote id="F1">The vesting schedule for these options has a time-based component, in which 25% of the options vest in equal increments over four years, and a performance-based component, in which up to 75% of the options could vest in equal increments, with 25% vesting immediately upon the achievement of certain performance criteria related to OCN's stock price and its annualized rate of return and the remaining 75% vesting over the next three years. Two-thirds of the performance-based options would commence vesting if the stock price realizes a compounded annual gain of at least 20% over the exercise price, so long as the stock price is at least double the exercise price. The remaining third of the performance-based options would commence vesting if the stock price realizes a 25% compounded annual gain, so long as it is at least triple the exercise price.</footnote>
