compensation committee shall otherwise specify at the time of grant, any option granted under the 2000 Plan shall be a non-statutory stock
option. Effective in February 2005, the Company may no longer grant awards under the 2000 Plan.
Under the 2000 Plan, unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee at the time of grant, participating employees are
granted options to purchase common stock at exercise prices not less than the market value of the Company’s common stock at the date
of grant. Options have a term of 10 years from date of grant. Options vest in increments of 10% on the first anniversary, 15% on the
second anniversary, and 25% on the third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of an individual grant. Stock units vest in increments of 33%
on each of the third, fourth, and fifth anniversaries of the award. Subject to certain provisions, the Company can cancel each option in
exchange for a payment in cash of an amount equal to the excess of the fair value of the shares over the exercise price for such option. The
Company has not previously exercised this right and does not currently intend to exercise this right in the future.
The 2000 Plan stock options and stock units were granted by the Company prior to becoming a public company and therefore the
Company is accounting for these awards under the prospective method under SFAS 123(R).
Stock option activity under the 2000 Plan is summarized as follows:
