At December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, warrants, options and other rights to purchase 1,391,456, 947,465 and 1,114,681 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted loss per common share because doing so would have had an antidilutive effect. Additionally, the 523,321 of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards which are contingent upon the Company meeting an undefined cumulative three year earnings target and continued employment are also excluded from the computation of diluted loss per common share.
