(1)   All options were granted under the 1998 Equity Incentive Plan and become exercisable with respect to 25% of the shares covered by the option on the first anniversary of the date of grant and with respect to an additional 6.25% of these shares each quarter thereafter. These options have a term of seven years. Upon certain changes in control, the vesting schedule accelerates as to 50% of any shares that are then unvested for officers at the level of senior vice president and above and as to 100% of any shares that are then unvested for the president and chief executive officer.

 

(2)   Potential realizable values are net of exercise price but before taxes, and are based on the assumption that our common stock appreciates at the annual rate shown, compounded annually, from the date of grant until the expiration of the applicable term. These numbers are calculated based on SEC requirements and do not reflect our projection or estimate of future stock price growth.

 

(3)   We granted options to purchase 9,739,004 shares of common stock to employees during 2004.

 

(4)   Options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value per share of our common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market.

 

(5)   Options were granted at an exercise price equal to five percent (5%) above the fair market value per share of our common stock quoted on the Nasdaq National Market.
