Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers. In connection with
the appointment of Mr. Norman L. Miller as Chief Executive Officer
and President of the Company in September 2015, the Board of
Directors (Board) approved Mr. Millers compensation package, which
included an initial grant (the Initial Long-Term Incentive Award)
of $2,000,000 in restricted stock units (RSUs), scheduled to vest
ratably over five years on each anniversary of his commencement
date as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company (the
Commencement Date).
On January 2, 2017, the Board approved a modification to Mr.
Millers Initial Long-Term Incentive Award such that the RSUs are
now scheduled to vest ratably over a 4-year rather than a 5-year
period. With this modification, the remaining unvested RSUs in Mr.
Millers Initial Long-Term Incentive Award are scheduled to vest in
$533,330 increments on each of the next three anniversaries of his
Commencement Date, an annual increase of $133,330 over the original
RSU vesting schedule. The terms of this modification to Mr. Millers
RSU award are set forth in a letter agreement between Mr. Miller
and the Company (the Letter Agreement), dated January 2, 2017.
Further, on January 2, 2017 (the Grant Date), the Board approved an
equity award to Mr. Miller of 100,000 shares of tiered
premium-priced options, with one-third of the options exercisable
at the closing price for the Companys common stock on the Grant
Date (the Grant Date Price), another one-third exercisable at 50%
above the Grant Date Price, and the final one-third exercisable at
50% above the Grant Date Price. These options will ratably vest on
each of the first four anniversaries of the Grant Date. The terms
of this equity award to Mr. Miller are described in the Letter
Agreement.
A copy of the Letter Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1
and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description
