U.S. The Company's U.S. sales were solely derived from its direct sales force, divided among three major sales areas.

Europe. From January 1, 2011 through August 31, 2011 (and all prior periods), the Company's European sales were derived from independent distributors. From September 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, the Company's European sales were derived from (i) its direct European sales force serving the markets of Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom (excluding Northern Ireland), and (ii) four independent distributors serving the markets in Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Ireland.

Upon mutual agreement, the Company terminated a European distribution agreement, effective September 1, 2011.
In connection therewith, the Company was contractually required to pay this distributor $1.3 million in order to start
directly marketing and selling its products within the above listed European countries. Additionally, upon mutual agreement,
the Company early terminated a distribution agreement with a separate Italian distributor, effective March 31, 2011. The Company was contractually required to pay this former distributor $0.4 million as part of the transfer of distribution rights to another Italian distributor.

ROW. The Company's ROW sales were solely derived from independent distributors.
