2. The restricted stock units vest in three equal annual installments beginning on August 22, 2012. Vested shares of Emcore common stock, an amount in cash equal to their fair market value or a combination of both will be delivered to the reporting person not later than 30 days after vesting occurs.
3. On August 24, 2011, the reporting person filed a Form 4 reporting an annual grant of 90,000 restricted stock units to the reporting person under the Company's 2010 Equity Incentive Plan in Table I instead of Table II.
4. Subsequent to the filing of the reporting person's original Form 4, 40,000 of the 90,000 restricted stock units originally granted were canceled for no value.
5. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Emcore common stock. Restricted stock units are payable, at the election of the issuer, in cash, Emcore common stock, or a combination of the two.
