The option will be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to options granted under the Company’s 2002 Stock Plan, as described in that Plan and the applicable stock option agreement. The option will be immediately exercisable, but the purchased shares will be subject to repurchase by the Company at the exercise price in the event that your service terminates before you vest in the shares.
