(1) These options and restricted stock awards were granted on November 13, 2007. They vest over a three-year period and become exercisable or receivable as to 1/3 of the shares on November 13, 2008, with quarterly vesting thereafter for a period of 24 months subject to acceleration or termination in certain circumstances. The restricted stock awards have no expiration date.
(2) Amount and exercise price reflect the one for three reverse stock split of the issuer's common stock that took effect November 14, 2007. Without giving effect to the reverse stock split, the stock options have an exercise price of $2.48 and represent the right to acquire 15,000 shares of common stock, and the restricted stock awards represent the right to receive 35,000 shares of common stock.
