Messrs.

Eberwein's and Gillman's trading plans, a broker-dealer is authorized to purchase up to a specified number of shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the trading plans, including minimum purchase price thresholds, unless the plan is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. The transactions under this plan are expected to occur between August 17, 2012 and August 6, 2013.

All purchases under Messrs. Eberwein's and Gillman's trading plans will be disclosed publicly as required through Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other Company directors and executives may also from time to time adopt 10b5-1 plans.
