Explanation of Responses:
1. As previously reported on a Form 4 filed on April 4, 2011 by the reporting person, the reporting person reported acquiring stock options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock vesting over five years pursuant to the Company's 2008 Stock Incentive Plan. However, the Company subsequently determined that stock options to purchase 700,000 shares of common stock were not validly granted pursuant to the Company's 2008 Stock Incentive Plan because they exceeded the limit on the number of stock options that may be granted to any individual participant in any one calendar year. Accordingly, the attempted grant of these excess stock options was ineffective, and they were never granted to the reporting person. The reporting person is filing this amendment to report the correct amount of stock options acquired.
2. The shares underlying the option vest at the rate of 20% per year, commencing March 31, 2012.
