Accordingly, the reporting person disclaims any beneficial ownership of the Additional Options.
(3) This option was granted on April 14, 2005 and is fully exercisable.
(4) This option was granted on June 18, 2004 and is fully exercisable.
(5) This option was granted on February 7, 2008 and is exercisable as the option vests. This option vests over a five year period, with 20% of the shares subject to the option vesting on each anniversary of the grant date.
(6) This option was granted on January 11, 2009 and is exercisable as the option vests. This option vests over a five year period, with 20% of the shares subject to the option vesting on each anniversary of the grant date.
