election of the Newly Elected Directors.

The Board has not yet determined Board committee assignments for
the Newly Elected Directors.

In connection with his election to the Board, each of the Newly
Elected Directors received a nonstatutory stock option under the
Companys Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Option Plan, as amended,
to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of
$6.45 per share, which was the closing price of the Common Stock

a term of five years and vests in three equal annual
installments.

The disclosure in Item5.07 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is
incorporated herein by reference.

Effective as of February16, 2017, stockholders of the Company
holding a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and
acting by written consent of stockholders under Section228 of the
DGCL, consented to two amendments to the Companys Amended and
Restated By-Laws (the By-Laws).

The stockholders amended Article II, Section1 of the By-Laws to
fix the size of the Board at eight members (the Board Size
Amendment). Prior to the adoption of the Board Size Amendment, a
majority of the Board, acting from time to time by resolution,
could fix the number of directors constituting the Board.

The stockholders also amended Article II, Section2 of the By-Laws
to provide that any vacancies on the Board resulting from removal
of directors by the stockholders of the Company would be filled
exclusively by the stockholders of the Company (the Vacancy
Amendment). Prior to the adoption of the Vacancy Amendment, all
vacancies on the Board could be filled by the affirmative vote of
a majority of directors then in office, although less than a
quorum.

The descriptions of the Board Size Amendment and the Vacancy
Amendment are qualified in their entirety by reference to Exhibit
3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated
herein by reference. The disclosure in Item5.07 of this Current
