(the “Company”), based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board and in accordance with the provisions of the 2007 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), approved grants to employees and directors of an aggregate of 2,729,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company, including the following to the directors of the Company:

The grants fully vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant, subject to the grantee’s continued status as an employee or director, as the case may be, on the vesting date. The restricted shares of common stock are deemed to be issued and outstanding and the grantee may exercise full rights with respect to such shares; provided, that, prior to the vesting date, the shares cannot be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, assigned or otherwise disposed of. Upon the grantee’s termination of employment or service as a director, as the case may be, prior to the vesting date for any reason the unvested shares will be forfeited.

The shares granted to the directors were granted under the Plan pursuant to a grant agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
