Vesting of New RSUs
 
New RSUs granted in the option exchange will not be vested on their date of grant regardless of whether the surrendered option was fully vested. Instead, the new RSUs will vest in equal installments on each anniversary of the date of grant of the new RSUs with the number of installments determined using the date the new RSUs granted in the option exchange are issued and the date the surrendered option would have otherwise become fully vested.

Table of Contents

For illustrative purposes, the table below provides the vesting schedule with respect to the new RSUs (unless local regulations or restrictions require that the vesting occur later than the first anniversary of the date of grant), assuming that the new RSUs are issued on September 1, 2009:
 
         
    Number of Vesting
 
Final Vesting Date of Surrendered Option Grant
  Installments  
 
Prior to September 1, 2009
    1  
On or after September 1, 2009 and before September 1, 2010
    2  
On or after September 1, 2010 and before September 1, 2011
    3  
On or after September 1, 2012
    4  
 
For example, if an eligible option was granted on March 1, 2007 and would vest with respect to 25% of the shares subject to the eligible option on the first anniversary of the date of grant and then with respect to 2.08% of the shares over the subsequent 36 months, the eligible option would become fully vested on March 1, 2011. Using the table above, new RSUs granted in exchange for the surrender of this eligible option would vest in three equal installments on the first three anniversaries of the date the new RSUs are granted.
 
New RSUs will only vest if the award holder remains an employee with us or one of our majority-owned subsidiaries. Any portion of the new RSUs that are not vested at termination of employment will be forfeited. As described above, the new RSUs will be completely unvested on the date of grant, regardless of whether the surrendered options were partially or completely vested.
