each share subject to a full value stock award reduce the number of shares available for issuance by 1.43

flexibility to utilize the shares remaining available for issuance under the Equity Plan.
Plan Benefits
Except for the automatic stock option and restricted stock unit grants to non-employee directors, the amount and
timing of awards granted under the Equity Plan are determined in the sole discretion of the administrator and
therefore cannot be determined in advance. The future awards that would be received under the Equity Plan by
executive officers and other employees are discretionary and are therefore not determinable at this time.
