Reporting Person elected to participate in this program and receive payment of 50% of his base salary in shares of the Company's common stock. The number of shares issued was determined by (i) dividing 1/12 of Reporting Person's enrolled salary by (ii) the trailing 30-day closing average of the Company's common stock ($1.71 / share), rounded up to the nearest whole share.
(2)	This includes 284,506 unvested restricted stock units.
