In connection with Mr. Burrow’s resignation, we entered into a transition agreement pursuant to which he will provide consulting services for up to eight hours or one day per week, for which he will be paid $2,000 per week. Provided that Mr. Burrow continues to provide the foregoing consulting services through the earlier of (a) the closing of the Merger, or (b) December 21, 2014, he will become entitled to vest in an additional 6,000 shares subject to stock option granted in February 2014, and receive a pro-rata portion of his 2014 cash incentive target bonus per the terms of the Merger Agreement.
