Mr. Rana holds a B.S.E. in Computer Engineering and M.S.E. in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor, and an M.B.A. from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

In connection with their appointments as members of the Office of the CEO, the Compensation and Leadership Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") approved a $35,000 increase to each of Ms. Layton's and Mr. Rana's monthly base salary payments, representing an increase from the current base salary of $450,000 (at a monthly rate of $37,500) for Ms. Layton and $435,750 (at a monthly rate of $36,313) for Mr. Rana, to be paid for the period of time serving in the joint Office of the CEO until a permanent CEO is appointed or until an earlier date determined by the Board. In addition, Ms. Layton and Mr. Rana will continue to receive compensation in their current roles as the Company's Chief Legal Officer and the Company's Senior Vice President, General Manager, Lending, respectively, which consists of (i) an annual base salary at the current rates described above, (ii) eligibility for an annual incentive bonus award at targets approved by the Board or Compensation Committee (currently, 65% of base salary for Ms. Layton and 50% of base salary for Mr. Rana), (iii) eligibility for discretionary equity awards approved by the Board or Compensation Committee, and (iv) eligibility to receive severance payments and benefits under the Company's Executive Severance and Change in Control Policy (as it may be amended from time to time) upon certain qualifying terminations of employment based on their levels of seniority within the Company.
