RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of Company
and its stockholders to grant the Grantee a deferred stock award with respect to
designated shares of the Company’s Common Stock, pursuant to, and subject to the
terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Grantee’s services to the Company
received prior to the date hereof and for other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto
agree as follows:

1. Grant of Deferred Stock.

Grant of Deferred Stock. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee an award with
respect to [—] shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Deferred Stock”) on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise provided
in the Plan.

2. Restrictions and Deferral Period.

a. Restrictions. Neither the award nor the shares of Deferred Stock subject to
the award granted hereunder may be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of and shall be subject to a risk of
forfeiture as described in Paragraph 4 below until the lapse of the Deferral
Period (as defined below).

b. Deferral Period. Unless the Deferral Period is previously terminated pursuant
to Paragraph 4 of this Agreement, the restrictions set forth above shall lapse
and the Grantee’s right to the shares of Deferred Stock shall become fully
vested and non-forfeitable as set forth on Schedule 1 hereof (the “Deferral
Period”) and such shares of Deferred Stock subject to the award hereunder shall
be issued to the Grantee as soon as practicable following such date.
Notwithstanding anything to the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

contrary, the issuance of the shares of Deferred Stock hereunder shall be
conditioned upon Grantee making adequate provision for federal, state or other
tax withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the issuance of the shares
upon the expiration of the Deferral Period, whether by withholding, direct
payment to the Company, or otherwise.

3. Rights of a Stockholder. Prior to the date of issuance, the Grantee shall
have none of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the
Deferred Stock, including, but not limited to, the right to receive dividends
and the right to vote such shares.

4. Cessation of Employment. If the Grantee’s employment status with the Company
is terminated for any reason, then this award and the Deferred Stock subject
thereto, shall be forfeited to the Company, and neither the Grantee nor any of
his successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives shall thereafter
have any further rights or interests in this award or such shares of Deferred
Stock.

5. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the Date of grant
of certain United States federal tax consequences of the award of the Deferred
Stock.

THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT ADDRESS SPECIFIC STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES
THAT MAY BE APPLICABLE TO GRANTEE. GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS SUMMARY IS
NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH TREASURY DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS, GRANTEE IS ADVISED
THAT, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY INDICATED, ANY FEDERAL TAX ADVICE CONTAINED IN
THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT WAS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND
CANNOT BE USED, FOR THE PURPOSE OF (I) AVOIDING TAX-RELATED PENALTIES UNDER THE
CODE OR (II) PROMOTING, MARKETING OR RECOMMENDING TO ANOTHER PARTY ANY
TAX-RELATED MATTERS ADDRESSED HEREIN.

The Grantee shall recognize ordinary income at the time or times the
restrictions lapse with respect to the shares of Deferred Stock that have been
issued following the expiration of the Deferral Period in an amount equal to the
fair market value of such shares on each such date and the Company shall be
required to collect all the applicable withholding taxes with respect to such
income. The obligations of the Company under the Plan are conditioned on your
making arrangements for the payment of any such taxes.

BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, THE GRANTEE REPRESENTS THAT HE HAS REVIEWED WITH HIS
OWN TAX ADVISORS THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT HE IS RELYING SOLELY ON
SUCH ADVISORS AND NOT ON ANY STATEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY
OF ITS AGENTS. THE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT HE (AND NOT THE COMPANY) SHALL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TAX LIABILITY THAT MAY ARISE AS A RESULT OF THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

6. Termination of this Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, all rights
of the Grantee hereunder shall cease.

7. Miscellaneous.

a. Notices. Any notice required or permitted under this Agreement shall be
deemed given when delivered personally, or when deposited in a United States
Post Office, postage prepaid, addressed, as appropriate, to the Grantee either
at his address herein below set forth or such other address as he may designate
in writing to the Company, or to the Company to the attention of the Chief
Financial Officer, at the Company’s address or such other address as the Company
may designate in writing to the Grantee.

b. Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver. The failure of the Company or the Grantee to
enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall in no way be construed
to be a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.

c. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to
the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the choice of law
principles thereof.

d. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified at any time by an
instrument in writing signed by the Parties.

e. Agreement Not a Contract of Employment. Neither the grant of Deferred Stock,
this Agreement nor any other action taken in connection herewith shall
constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied,
that the Grantee is an employee of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company.

f. Entire Agreement; Plan Controls. This Agreement and the Plan contain the
entire understanding and agreement of the Parties concerning the subject matter
hereof, and supersede all earlier negotiations and understandings, whether
written or oral, between the Parties with respect thereto. This Agreement is
made under and subject to the provisions of the Plan, and all of the provisions
of the Plan are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement. In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the
provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern. By signing this

state securities authorities, the parties agree to cooperate in requesting such
consent. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns
of the Company and, subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, be
binding upon the Grantee, his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
