The gross number of shares issued was 252,818 shares, with one-half of the shares vested immediately and one-half to vest on August 5, 2009, subject to the individual's continued employment through that date. Approximately 40% of the shares vesting on each date will be surrendered to the Company in payment of withholding taxes, with the exact amount dependent on applicable backup withholding rates. Recipients of the restricted stock included executive officers of the Company who have taken temporary pay cuts as reported by the Company on March 30, 2009.
