With the exception of the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, the foregoing plans are expired or the Board of Directors has determined that no additional shares may be issued thereunder.

(4) Excludes stock options to purchase up to 9,748 shares of our common stock. Such stock options, having a weighted average exercise price of $29.16 per share, were issued pursuant to stock plans assumed in connection with our acquisitions of the parent company of aCerno, Inc., Blaze Software, Inc. and Prolexic Technologies, Inc. No future equity awards may be issued under these plans.
