(1)	Represents restricted stock units ("RSUs"), convertible into common stock of the issuer on a one-for-one basis. The restricted stock units vest annually in three equal installments of 5,000 shares annually on August 22, 2017, August 22, 2018 and August 22, 2019, subject to accelerated vesting under certain conditions.
(2)	On November 16, 2015, the reporting person received a grant, subject to stockholder approval, of 20,000 RSUs, convertible into common stock of the issuer on a one-for-one basis. Stockholder approval was obtained on June 1, 2016. The RSUs vest in three equal annual installments beginning November 16, 2016 (the "Time Conditions") provided, however, that no tranche of RSUs will vest until it is determined that IDI has exceeded certain revenue targets and achieved positive EBITDA in any one fiscal year during the vesting period (the "Performance Conditions"). Upon a determination that IDI has exceeded the Performance Conditions, any RSUs that would have otherwise vested in accordance with the Time Conditions will vest at the time of such determination. Any subsequent tranches will vest in accordance with the Time Conditions.
