  • [F4]Option exercised is originally derived from an option to purchase 875,000 shares granted 8/12/2004 (the "Original Option"), which vested as follows: (i) as to 300,000 underlying shares on the date of grant; and (ii) and with respect to the remainder, 25,000 underlying shares vested monthly thereafter commencing on August 31, 2004 until fully vested. On 2/8/2006 the Original Option was bifurcated into two options to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code; one with respect to 425,000 shares that had vested on or prior to 12/31/2004 (the "Pre-409A Option") and one with respect to 450,000 shares (the "Post-409A Option"), which continued to vest on the same schedule as in the Original Option. The Pre-409A Option being exercised herewith, was fully exercisable upon vesting. The Post-409A Option, as amended on 2/8/2006 and 12/2007, is exercisable (absent a change of control) in four equal installments commencing on January 1 of each of 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.
