The Underwriting Agreement grants the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock from the Selling Stockholders. On October 13, 2011, the Representatives notified the Company and the Selling Stockholders that they elected to exercise this option in full.
