Pursuant to the amendment, Mr. Headley's retention period is extended for an additional three months to September 30, 2013, and in addition to his base salary for the additional three months, Mr. Headley will be entitled to the vesting of up to one-third the number of performance-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to him under the Company's Fiscal Year 2013 Executive Equity Incentive Plan based on the Company's achievement of certain financial metrics for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2013. The actual number of RSUs achieved will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company after the completion of the current fiscal year and the vesting shall occur on such date.
