This excerpt taken from the OVTI DEF 14A filed Aug 10, 2009.
Stock Options.  Each stock option represents the right to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock at a set exercise price subject to the terms and conditions of an option agreement.  The exercise price is the closing stock price of OmniVision stock on the day the compensation committee grants the option.  As a result, any value that an executive receives from a stock option is solely the result of increases in the value of OmniVision stock.  An increase in the value of OmniVision stock benefits all of our stockholders, thus aligning executive and stockholder interests.  In general, options become exercisable over four years: 25% of the shares subject to the option vest one year from the date of grant and the remaining shares vest at a rate of 1/48 of the shares per month.  They have a term of 10 years.
