Agreement with Board Member and Former AIA Executive

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the former CEO of AIA, who is also a current Board member, entered into a consulting agreement and mutual general release, which was subsequently amended (as so amended, the “Consulting Agreement”). The Consulting Agreement provides that, amongst other things, the former executive is entitled to certain remuneration, at the former executive’s option, in exchange for certain releases and subject to the Company closing an equity offering by January 1, 2014, in the form of (i) $3.0 million in cash or (ii) $1.0 million in cash and $2,000,000 in fully vested common shares (subject to certain limitations). If the equity offering does not occur by January 1, 2014, the Company would be required to issue the former executive 300,000 in fully vested common shares at no cost to the former executive (collectively, the “Remuneration Payment”). In addition the former executive (i) entered into a consulting arrangement at a rate of $41,666 per month, commencing September 2013 and ending on the date the Remuneration Payment is made and (ii) received a new stock option grant of 25,000 in September 2013 for his service as a Board member, which vests monthly over two years beginning on the date of grant. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded an expense of approximately $2.8 million associated with its Remuneration Payment obligation.

Upon the repurchase, the shares were cancelled.
