(2)	Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Share was tendered in exchange for $48.00 in cash per Share.
(3)	Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each stock option that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically canceled and terminated and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of (i) the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the applicable exercise price per Share of such option and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares issuable upon exercise of such option or portion thereof, subject to any applicable withholding of taxes.
