These restricted stock units shall vest at the rate of 1/4th of the shares subject to such restricted stock units as of the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and 1/4th of the shares subject to such restricted stock units as of each of the subsequent anniversaries of the vesting commencement date thereafter, assuming continued service with the Company on each vesting date. For the purposes of the restricted stock unit grants, the vesting commencement date is 2/1/2012.
(2) These shares were withheld by the Company as required for related tax liability in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units granted in prior years.
