These shares, along with all of the other shares in Option Grant #21004543, were accelerated by the VeriSign Board of Directors on December 29, 2005. However, at the time these shares were accelerated they remained subject to a no sale restriction. The no sale restriction will be removed from these 1,562 shares because such restriction would have been removed from 1,562 shares of this option grant between December 2, 2007 and March 1, 2008 if the employee had remained employed by VeriSign through March 1, 2008.

Although these options are vested, 6,250 of these options will continue to be subject to a no sale restriction as of the Acceleration Date. The no sale restriction was imposed by the VeriSign Board of Directors on December 29, 2005 at the time it accelerated the vesting of these options. Accordingly, the employee may purchase these options in accordance with the applicable stock option plan and stock option agreement, but he will be restricted from selling 6,250 of these options as of the Acceleration Date. Provided the employee purchases these vested options within the permissible period stated in the applicable option plan or option agreement, the no sale restriction on these options will be removed incrementally on the dates that these options would have vested if their vesting had not been accelerated.
