(the "Issuer") on each such vesting date. Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive 1 share of the Issuer's common stock. This award includes a provision for the withholding of shares by the Issuer to pay the withholding taxes due on each such vesting date.
The vest start date of February 12, 2014 for this award has been determined by the Compensation Committee of the Issuer's Board of Directors (the "Committee") to reflect the fact that such award would have been granted in the first quarter of calendar year 2014, were it not for the Issuer's restatement process and the fact that the Issuer was not current in its filing obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
