- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Common stock acquired represents 18,708 shares of restricted stock granted under the Company's Stock Option and Restricted Stock
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plan. Vesting is based on two criteria: the Company's achievement of a specific trading price per share and the officer's period
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of service after the date of the grant. If the trading price reaches $8.00, $9.00 or $10.00, 50%, 75% or 100%, respectively, of the
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
stock would vest, subject to the officer satisfying the service requirements. After performing six months of service for the Company
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
after the date of grant, the officer will be vested in 50% of the shares available for vesting as a result of a trading price target
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
being met. After one year of service, the officer will be vested in 100% of the shares available for vesting as a result of a
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
trading price target being met. In order for a trading price target to be met, the stock must either stay at or above the target
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
level for 10 consecutive business days, or the average stock price for any 30 consecutive business day period must equal or exceed
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the target level.

***Shares acquired through the Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
