$673,344   $91.84

 

* Estimated solely for purposes of calculating the amount of the filing fee.

These options covered an aggregate of 1,066,430 shares of the issuer’s common stock, and had an aggregate value of $673,344 as of August 7, 2013, calculated based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

** The amount of the filing fee, calculated in accordance with Rule 0-11(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, equals $136.40 per $1,000,000 of the aggregate amount of the Transaction Valuation (or 0.0001364 of the aggregate Transaction Valuation). The Transaction Valuation set forth above was calculated for the sole purpose of determining the filing fee and should not be used for any other purpose.
