Most stock options vest ratably over a period between two and five years, so long as the optionee continues to provide services to the Company. Stock options are exercisable into shares of Class V Common Stock. In addition to the time-based units, the Company granted 100,000 performance-based option units to an employee during the period with a strike price of $5.02. The vesting criteria for these units has not yet been achieved, therefore no expense has been recorded in relation to these units.
