Qualified Stock Options. During 1998, and in conjunction with the acquisition of Neutrino, the Company granted Non-Qualified Stock Options exercisable for 550,000 shares of Common Stock under individual agreements with key members of Neutrino management. The issuance of these Non-Qualified Stock Options was administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, which generally has authority to establish who receives options and the terms and conditions thereof, including vesting and exercise price. The exercise price of each non-qualified option granted in 1998 was at the market price for the Company's Common Stock on the date of the grant. However, in conjunction with repricing of options pursuant to the 1996 and 1997 SOPs, as described above, the option price of Non-Qualified options issued in 1998 were also repriced, to $1.00, on December 21, 1998. 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Pursuant to the SPP, the Company may grant options to purchase up to 300,000 shares (subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments) of its Common Stock to employees of the Company.

The number of options granted to each participant equals the quotient of (i) the total payroll deductions authorized by the participant during the applicable option period, divided by (ii) 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant of such option. The exercise price of options under SPP is 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant or the date of exercise of such option, whichever is less, determined by reference to the most recent closing price reported on the Nasdaq Systems.
