The surrendered shares were issued to Mr. Clevenger in error in excess of an annual individual grant limitation set forth in the Issuer's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Excess Restricted Shares").
(2)	Includes 200,000 shares of restricted common stock granted pursuant to the Issuer's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

(4)	The Units were granted pursuant to the Issuer's 2013 Key Employee Long-Term Incentive Plan ("KELTIP"). Each Unit represents a contingent right to receive on the applicable payment date, a settlement amount measured generally by the price of the Issuer's common stock on the settlement date. Payment of the settlement amount in respect of the reporting person's vested Units is deferred generally until the earlier of a change of control of the Issuer and the date the reporting person ceases to serve as an officer or employee of the Issuer. The settlement amount may be paid in cash or in Issuer stock granted pursuant to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan or another plan that may in the future be approved by the Company's stockholders. 75,833 Units were vested as of the December 13, 2013 grant date (the "Grant Date"). 48,333 Units vest on the first anniversary of the Grant Date and the final 48,334 Units vest on the second anniversary of the Grant Date.
