Pursuant to the terms of the SAR Agreement, any remaining unvested Common Stock Appreciation Rights shall be forfeited upon termination of her engagement as a consultant for the Company. As previously reported on Form 4 filed with the SEC on April 26, 2011, the Board granted Ms. Graves, 100,000 shares of Common Stock Appreciation Rights for the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.0001 pursuant to a Cash-Only Stock Appreciation Right Agreement dated April 26, 2011 (the “SAR Agreement”).
