(b)           On December 14, 2011, Jeffrey Jordan tendered his resignation as the Company’s Executive Chairman, such resignation to be effective immediately.  Mr. Jordan will continue to serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).

 

(e)                                  On December 14, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) approved the following adjustments to Mr. Jordan’s compensation commensurate with his continuing role as a director.  Pursuant to the terms of a letter agreement, dated December 19, 2011, by and between the Company and Mr. Jordan, Mr. Jordan’s unvested options with respect to 32,100 shares of the Company’s common stock terminated as of December 14, 2011.  Mr. Jordan’s vested options remain outstanding and exercisable in accordance with their terms based on his continued service as a member of the Board.

 

In connection with Mr. Jordan’s continued Board service, on December 14, 2011, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Jordan an option to purchase 5,207 shares of the Company’s common stock, which represents the pro-rated portion of the 2011 annual non-employee director’s stock option grant pursuant to the Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”).  This option will fully vest and become exercisable on the date of the 2012 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company (the “2012 Annual Meeting”), subject to Mr. Jordan’s continued service as a member of the Board.  Beginning on the date of the 2012 Annual Meeting, Mr. Jordan will be eligible to receive the full number of shares under the annual stock option grant made to non-employee members of the Board pursuant to the Plan.

 

The foregoing description of Mr. Jordan’s letter agreement is qualified in its entirety by the text of the agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
