You will also be granted an additional stock option to purchase 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on your first day of employment, subject to the same terms as the option described above, with the exception of vesting, which shall be performance-based rather than time-based.  The additional option shall vest upon the later of the one year anniversary of the date of grant and the launch of the Company's first internally developed product; provided that any determination as to whether or not such vesting event has been met shall be made in the sole discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee and such date of vesting shall be the date so determined by the Committee.
