(1) This includes 75,000 unvested restricted stock units ("RSU"). Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and Reporting Person's employment and RSU agreements, the RSUs will vest on the six (6) month anniversary of the Grant Date, provided Reporting Person continues to be a Service Provider through that vesting date. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company's common stock.
(2) Reporting Person received an aggregate of 250,000 stock options. Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and Reporting Person's employment and stock option agreements, the stock options will vest on the six (6) month anniversary of the Grant Date, provided Reporting Person continues to be a Service Provider through that vesting date.
(3) Reporting Person will be entitled to exercise any vested stock options until the first to occur of: (i) the date that is two years following the later of the (A) date upon which such stock options vested or (B) the date upon which Reporting Person ceases to be a Service Provider, (ii) the applicable scheduled expiration date of such award (in the absence of any termination of employment) as set forth in the award agreement, or (iii) the ten (10) year anniversary of the award's original date of grant. For purposes of clarity, the term "expiration date" shall be the scheduled expiration of the option agreement and not the period that Reporting Person shall be entitled to exercise such option.
