This excerpt taken from the AAPL DEF 14A filed Jan 12, 2010.

Stock Options

The plan administrator may grant nonstatutory stock options or incentive stock options (which are entitled to potentially favorable tax treatment) under the 2003 Plan. The vesting schedule and number of shares covered by each stock option granted to a participant will be determined by the plan administrator. The plan administrator may grant stock options with time-based vesting or vesting upon satisfaction of performance goals and/or other conditions. The stock option exercise price is determined at grant by the plan administrator and must be at least 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of grant (110% for incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own more than 10% of the total outstanding shares of the Company, its parent or any of its subsidiaries). Consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules, payment of the exercise price of stock options may be made by cashless exercise, or by any other form of payment approved by the Compensation Committee. The term of a stock option shall not exceed seven years from the date of grant.
