 (each, a vesting date) and are subject to payment within 75 days following each such vesting date.  Each unit represents a
 right to receive one share of Common Stock or an amount equal to the market value of the Common Stock underlying the vested
 award on the applicable vesting date.  Payment may be made in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof.  On May
 6, 2008, the first vesting of this restricted stock award was paid in shares.  On April 27, 2009, the second vesting of this
