The option vests over a two-year period, with 50% of the option vesting on November 2, 2013 and the remaining 50% of such option vesting in equal monthly installments over the next 12 months, provided (i) that the option shall vest in full on the date of the Annual Meeting held two years after the date of grant and (ii) that at the relevant vesting dates the Reporting Person's continuous service to the Issuer has not been terminated as defined in or as determined under the Plan. The option expires ten years after the date of grant.
  • [F4]Grant to the Reporting Person of a stock option under the Issuer's 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

The option expires ten years after the date of grant.
  • [F5]Option grant was reported as one grant totaling 16,666 with three year vesting on the Reporting Person's original Form 3. One less share resulted from post-split rounding applied to the two new grants.
