No one's going to give you the same number of shares that would have heretofore been a 48 month term, that'd you get with 12. You'd instead get 10K for the first year. Then in 12 months, maybe get 10K more, but you'd be losing out on having 20K that could have potentially appreciated in value while you wait for the vesting. Repeat for the next few years, and in year four with your 10K grant, you'd have lost out on apprieciation of the prior 3.
