SOS are designed to provide tax advantages to executives by offering preferential tax treatment upon exercise and sale of the options. These options are subject to certain requirements, such as a maximum exercise price and a holding period of at least two years from the grant date and one year from the exercise date. Executives can enjoy potential long-term capital gains if they meet these requirements. On the other hand, Nests do not offer the same tax advantages as SOS but provide more flexibility in terms of exercise price and holding periods. These options can be granted with an exercise price below the fair market value of the stock on the grant date and can be exercised at any time, subject to certain limitations set by the company.

The plan also specifies the maximum number of options that can be granted to each executive and the various vesting schedules.
