Incentive Plan (see Note 11) as compensation for providing the personal indemnification. In 2009, the Company issued 600,000
stock options to the principal and controlling shareholder under the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan as compensation for providing

During 2010, in connection with the initial public offering (see Note 11), the limited personal indemnification provided by
