of Iconix common stock after the first anniversary of the
merger if Iconix's common stock does not close at or above
$18.71 for at least 20 consecutive trading days during the
year following the merger. Based upon the three day average
price of Iconix stock prior to the closing, the maximum
additional shares of common stock that Iconix potentially
