resulted in the principal shareholders holding less than 10% of their original ownership, or other changes in control, as defined, were to
have occurred. The number of options that would have become ultimately exercisable also depended upon the extent to which the price per
share obtained in the sale of the Company would exceed a minimum selling price of $22.59 per share. The initial public offering did not
trigger exercisability of these options.
In February 2007, all the options outstanding under the 1998 Plan were cancelled, except the 47,373 options with a $36.94 exercise
price. This cancellation was triggered by certain events noted in the 1998 Plan.
These stock options were granted by the Company prior to becoming a public company and therefore the Company is accounting
for these options under the prospective method under SFAS 123(R). As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, options to purchase
47,373 shares of common stock were outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $36.94. These remaining options outstanding
are time-based vesting only and are fully vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2007.
Stock option activity under the 1998 Plan is summarized as follows:
