In addition, it provides for the accelerated vesting of 247,650 of the 2,455,601 unvested stock options held by Mr. Chung as of the separation date and the extension of the exercise period of his options until the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of the Separation Agreement or the date on which such options would otherwise expire and terminate in accordance with their terms if Mr. Chung had not resigned.
