6. All of these options were vested and exercisable as of December 22, 2014.
7. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, these restricted stock units became fully vested and were cancelled and converted into the right to receive $12.00 in cash per share of the Issuer's common stock subject to such restricted stock units, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.
