The granting of stock options, exercise prices and terms are determined by the Company's Board of Directors. If no vesting schedule is specified by the Board of Directors on the grant of options, then the options shall vest over a 4 -year period with 25% of the options granted vesting each year commencing 1 year from the grant date. For stockholders who have greater than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Company and who have granted options, the exercise price of their options shall not be less than 110% of the fair of the stock on grant date. Otherwise, options granted shall have an exercise price equal to their fair value on grant date.
