4. Mr. Riley was elected to the Issuer's Board of Directors on September 18, 2008, on which date the Issuer granted him this standard initial stock option in accordance with the Issuer's 2000 Equity Incentive Plan and policies regarding compensation of its non-employee directors. The option vests over three years at a rate of one-third of the total shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant, and 2.77778% of the total shares each month thereafter, so long as the non-employee director continues to provide services to the Issuer as a director or consultant. In the event of the Issuer's dissolution, liquidation or change in control, each of these options will vest and be exercisable in full.
