(a)	Reflects the grant date fair value of stock option awards as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year.

(b)

These amounts represent the sum of the fair value of all stock option awards granted during the covered fiscal year, measured at the end of the year plus the change in the fair value of unvested stock option awards granted in prior fiscal years, measured at the end of the covered fiscal year (or, for stock option awards that vested in the covered fiscal year, as of the vesting date). Fair value is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718. For performance-contingent stock options, we have assumed achievement of performance goals at maximum.

The Company and the

Compensation Committee consider the below metrics to have the greatest influence on executive pay for our PEO and other NEOs: bookings, revenue,

non-GAAP

gross margin and

non-GAAP

operating income.
