As previously disclosed, Master Fund has previously entered into certain cash-settled total return swap agreements with several unaffiliated third party financial institutions as the respective counterparties, which provided economic exposure to an aggregate of 144,621 notional shares of Common Stock, (the "Swap Agreements").
