options have a term of ten years, will vest in equal annual installments over
three years, commencing January 1, 2012, or earlier in certain  circumstances

or pursuant to the "Rule of 85" (that is, age plus years of service equal  to

year  thereafter.  The  foregoing  description  of the stock option awards is
