However, the Company subsequently determined that stock options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock were not validly granted pursuant to the Company's 2009 Incentive Plan because they exceeded the limit on the number of stock options that may be granted to any individual participant within any 36-month period. Accordingly, the attempted grant of these excess stock options was ineffective, and they were never granted to the reporting person. The reporting person is filing this amendment to report the correct amount of stock options acquired. Grant of the stock option, with 25% vesting on December 9, 2013, 25% vesting on December 9, 2014 and the remaining 50% vesting on December 9, 2015. /s/ Eugene V.
