In connection with the resignations, the Board of Directors of the Company agreed to extend the termination date of all of such resigning directors’ vested options to the end of the stated term of such options (previously, such vested options would have expired three months after their resignation dates as directors of the Company).  All of the unvested options held by such resigning directors expired immediately upon such resignations.
