3. At the direction of the issuer's Compensation Committee, the RSUs may be paid in shares of HOFT common stock, cash (based on the fair market value of a share of HOFT common stock on the date payment is made) or both.

4. On April 7, 2020, the reporting person was granted 2,371 restricted stock units, vesting 100% on April 7, 2020 as the reporting person remained continuously employed with the issuer through that date.
