The actual number of SARs and RSUs granted to Mr. Angel is based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the next business day following the date of the grant.

RSUs represents the right to receive payment of an amount equal to all or a portion of the fair market value of a specified number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon vesting and are valued on the date of grant based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the next business day following such date of grant. SARs will be paid in shares of the Company’s Common Stock with a value equal to the amount by which the market value of all shares of the Company’s Common Stock in respect of which the SAR is exercised exceeds the grant price of such SAR. RSUs and SARs are subject to clawback under certain circumstances.
