The option and stock award will vest on the one year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to Ms. Beraud’s continued service as a director through the vesting date.

The Company also entered into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement with Ms. Beraud. The indemnification agreement provides, among other things, that the Company will indemnify Ms. Beraud for certain expenses which she may be required to pay in connection with certain claims to which she may be made a party by reason of her position as a director of the Company, and otherwise to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws.
