Additionally, members of our board of directors who are not our employees receive non-statutory stock options under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. Each non-employee director


joining our board of directors after January 1, 2013 will automatically be granted a non-statutory stock option to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price equal to the then fair market value of our common stock. On the date of each annual meeting of our stockholders after January 1, 2013, each non-employee director will also automatically be granted a non-statutory stock option to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock on that date (provided that grants to non-employee directors that have served for less than 12 months will be reduced pro rata for each quarter the director did not serve as a non-employee director in the 12 months preceding the grant date) and the non-employee director who is then serving as the chairman of the board (if any) will automatically be granted an additional non-statutory stock option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock on that date, in each case with an exercise price equal to the then fair market value of our common stock. Initial grants will vest monthly over three years. Automatic annual grants (including the grant to the chairman of the board of directors) will vest over 12 months. All stock options granted under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan may have a term of up to ten years.
