Correct an error in stock option description
OK, I'll do my best to explain why by "$10,000 worth of stock options" you likely mean "options for $10,000 worth of stock". Let's say a share is valued (409a valuation) at $1.00 today. 10,000 shares of stock is worth $10,000. 10,000 stock options, on the other hand is worth $0 at the time of grant, because the strike price at fair market value is $1.00. If you granted $10,000 worth of options (by setting the strike price of the grant at $0, for example), the employee would need to pay tax on the $10,000 of income, and the company would probably need to pay payroll tax. This is a bit oversimplified, but I hope it makes sense! Also I fixed some `its` vs `it's` mistakes, and clarified a sentence I felt was a little roundabout ;) Feel free to pick out those changes if you don't like them!
