1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

RECITALS

 

A. The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of retaining the services of
selected Employees, non-employee members of the Board (or the board of directors
of any Parent or Subsidiary) and consultants and other independent advisors who
provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

 

B. Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a Parent or
Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to
carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Corporation’s grant
of an option to Optionee.

 

C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to
them in the attached Appendix A.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

  1. Grant of Option. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of the Grant
Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in the
Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time during
the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

 

  2. Option Term. This option shall have a maximum term of seven (7) years
measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of
business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with
Paragraph 5 or 6.

 

  3. Limited Transferability.

 

  a) This option shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Optionee other
than by will or the laws of inheritance following Optionee’s death and may be
exercised, during Optionee’s lifetime, only by Optionee. However, Optionee may
designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of this
option, and this option shall, in accordance with such designation,
automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon
Optionee’s death while holding this option. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries
shall take the transferred option subject to all the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, including (without limitation) the limited time period during
which this option may, pursuant to Paragraph 5, be exercised following
Optionee’s death.

 

  b) If this option is designated a Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice,
then this option may be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee’s lifetime
to one or more members of Optionee’s family or to a trust established for the
exclusive benefit of one or more such family members, to the extent such
assignment is in connection with Optionee’s estate plan, or to Optionee’s former
spouse pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion shall be
exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in
the option pursuant to such assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned
portion shall be the same as those in effect for this option immediately prior
to such assignment.

 

3

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

  4. Dates of Exercise. This option shall become exercisable for the Option
Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice. As the
option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall
accumulate, and the option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated
installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term
under Paragraph 5 or 6.

 

  5. Cessation of Service. The option term specified in Paragraph 2 shall
terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the
Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:

 

  a) Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than
death, Permanent Disability or Misconduct) while holding this option, then
Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months (commencing with the date of
such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option, but in no event
shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

 

  b) Should Optionee die while holding this option, then the personal
representative of Optionee’s estate or the person or persons to whom the option
is transferred pursuant to Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance shall have
the right to exercise this option. However, if Optionee has designated one or
more beneficiaries of this option, then those persons shall have the exclusive
right to exercise this option following Optionee’s death unless the Corporation
determines that the designation is not valid under applicable law in which case,
the Corporation will allow the estate or other entitled party, under applicable
law, to exercise the option. Any such right to exercise this option shall lapse,
and this option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s
death or (ii) the Expiration Date.

 

  c) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Permanent Disability while
holding this option, then Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months
(commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise
this option. In no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the
Expiration Date.

 

  d) During the limited period of post-Service exercisability, this option may
not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of Option Shares for
which the option is exercisable at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service.
Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the
Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any
exercisable Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised. However,
this option shall, immediately upon Optionee’s cessation of Service for any
reason, terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any Option Shares
for which this option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

 

  e) Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should Optionee
otherwise engage in any Misconduct while this option is outstanding, then this
option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.

 

  f) For the purpose of this Agreement, Service shall not include any notice of
termination period (e.g., garden leave, etc.) during which the Optionee is not
providing active Service to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries. The last
day of Service shall be the last date that the Optionee is providing active
Service to the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries.

 

4

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

  6. Special Acceleration of Option.

 

  a) This option, to the extent outstanding at the time of a Corporate
Transaction but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall automatically accelerate
so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of such
Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all of the Option Shares at the
time subject to this option and may be exercised for any or all of those Option
Shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, this option shall not
become exercisable on such an accelerated basis, if and to the extent: (i) this
option is, in connection with the Corporate Transaction, to be assumed by the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) this option is to be replaced
with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the
spread existing at the time of the Corporate Transaction on any Option Shares
for which this option is not otherwise at that time exercisable (the excess of
the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price
payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with
the same option exercise/vesting schedule for those Option Shares set forth in
the Grant Notice.

 

  b) Immediately following the Corporate Transaction, this option shall
terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with the Corporate
Transaction.

 

  c) If this option is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction, then
this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate
Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have
been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the
option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, and
appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided the
aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.

 

  d) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to
adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all
or any part of its business or assets.

 

  7. Adjustment in Option Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock
by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of
shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common
Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate
adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number and/or class of securities
subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in order to reflect such
change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder.

 

  8. Shareholder Rights. The holder of this option shall not have any
shareholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall
have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record
of the purchased shares.

 

5

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

  9. Manner of Exercising Option.

 

  a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the
Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any
other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions:

 

  i. Execute and deliver to the Corporation a notice of exercise in a form
acceptable to the Plan Administrator for the Option Shares for which the option
is exercised, or complete such other process or procedure as the Plan
Administrator may determine from time to time.

 

  ii. Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in one or more
of the following forms (unless forms of exercise are limited by country specific
terms set forth in Appendix B):

 

  A. cash or check made payable to the Corporation (in U.S. dollars);

 

  B. shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any other person or persons
exercising the option) for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to
the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair
Market Value on the Exercise Date; or

 

  C. through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee
(or any other person or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently
provide irrevocable instructions (i) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm
to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the
Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date,
sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased
shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes
required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and
(ii) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares
directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale.

Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in connection
with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must accompany the
notice of exercise delivered to the Corporation or completion of such procedure,
as the Plan Administrator may determine in its sole discretion, in connection
with the option exercise.

 

  iii. Provide any representations and agreements as may be required by the
Corporation pursuant to the Plan at the time of exercise.

 

  iv. Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person or
persons exercising the option (if other than the Optionee) have the right to
exercise this option.

 

  v. Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary
employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all federal, state,
foreign and local income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable
to the option exercise.

 

  vi. The option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Corporation
of a fully executed Notice of Exercise or completion of such exercise procedure
as the Plan Administrator may determine in its sole discretion, accompanied by
such aggregate Exercise Price and any application withholding taxes.

 

6

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

  b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue
to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising this
option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the appropriate
legends affixed thereto.

 

  c) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares.

 

  10. Compliance with Laws and Regulations.

 

  a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of the Option Shares upon such
exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and Optionee with all
applicable requirements of law relating thereto (including federal, state,
foreign and local) and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or
the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be
listed for trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.

 

  b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory
body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful
issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall relieve the
Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the
Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The
Corporation, however, shall use reasonable efforts to obtain all such approvals.

 

  11. Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in
Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and
Optionee, Optionee’s assigns, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of
Optionee’s estate and any beneficiaries of this option designated by Optionee.

 

  12. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Corporation
under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the
Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given
or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at the
last address for the Optionee known to the Corporation. All notices shall be
deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail,
postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

 

  13. Construction. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are made and
granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to
the terms of the Plan. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with respect to
any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

 

  14. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without
resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.

 

  15. Excess Shares. If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as
of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without
shareholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option shall be void
with respect to those excess shares, unless shareholder approval of an amendment
sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the
Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

 

7

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

  16. Additional Terms Applicable to a U.S. Incentive Option. In the event this
option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice (Incentive Options
are only applicable to U.S. taxpayers), the following terms and conditions shall
also apply to the grant:

 

  a) This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an
Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is exercised for one or more
Option Shares: (A) more than three (3) months after the date Optionee ceases to
be an Employee for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability or
(B) more than twelve (12) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an
Employee by reason of Permanent Disability.

 

  b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax treatment
as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which such installment
first becomes exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value
(determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or
other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Options granted to
Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option
plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable
during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in
the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be
exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall nevertheless become exercisable
for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.

 

  c) Should the exercisability of this option be accelerated upon a Corporate
Transaction, then this option shall qualify for favorable tax treatment as an
Incentive Option only to the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined
at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option first becomes
exercisable in the calendar year in which the Corporate Transaction occurs does
not, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or
dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this option or
one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date
(whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any
Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year,
exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should the
applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in the
calendar year of such Corporate Transaction, the option may nevertheless be
exercised for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.

 

  d) Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or more other options
to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the first time in the same
calendar year as this option, then the foregoing limitations on the
exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the
basis of the order in which such options are granted.

 

  17. Leave of Absence. The following provisions shall apply upon Optionee’s
commencement of an authorized leave of absence:

 

  a) The vesting of the option will not be suspended and will continue in
accordance with the vesting schedule under the Grant Notice during Optionee’s
authorized leave of absence from the Corporation, or the Parent or Subsidiary
employing Optionee, subject to the remaining terms of this Agreement and the
Plan.

 

8

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

  b) If the option is designated as an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice,
then the following additional provision shall apply:

If the leave of absence continues for more than three (3) months, then this
option shall automatically convert to a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal
tax laws at the end of the six (6)-month period measured from the first
(1st) day of such leave, unless Optionee’s reemployment rights are guaranteed by
statute or by written agreement. Following any such conversion of the option,
all subsequent exercises of such option, whether effected before or after
Optionee’s return to active Employee status, shall result in an immediate
taxable event, and the Corporation shall be required to collect from Optionee
the Federal, state and local income and employment withholding taxes applicable
to such exercise.

 

  18.

Tax Responsibility/Withholding. Regardless of any action the Corporation or
Optionee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax
(including foreign, federal, state and local tax), social insurance, payroll
tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Optionee’s
participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Optionee (“Withholding
Taxes”), Optionee acknowledges that the ultimate liability for all Withholding
Taxes legally due by him or her is and remains his or her responsibility and may
exceed the amount actually withheld by the Corporation and/or the Employer.
Optionee further acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employer (i) make
no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding
Taxes in connection with any aspect of the options, including but not limited
to, the grant, vesting, exercise of the options, the issuance of shares of
Common Stock upon exercise, the subsequent sale of shares of Common Stock
acquired pursuant to the exercise of the option and the receipt of any
dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure
the terms of the grant or any aspect of the option to reduce or eliminate
Optionee’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result.
Further, if Optionee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction,
Optionee acknowledges that the Corporation and/or the Employer (or former
employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Withholding
Taxes in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax
withholding event (“Tax Date”), as applicable, Optionee will pay or make
adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation and/or the Employer to
satisfy all Withholding Taxes. In this regard, Optionee authorizes the
Corporation and/or the Employer or their respective agents, at their discretion,
to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Withholding Taxes by one or a
combination of the following: (A) accept a cash payment in U.S. dollars in the
amount of Withholding Taxes, (B) withhold whole shares of Common Stock which
would otherwise be delivered to Optionee having an aggregate Fair Market Value,
determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash from Optionee’s
wages or other cash compensation which would otherwise be payable to Optionee by
the Corporation and/or the Employer, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy
any such obligations, (C) withhold from proceeds of the sale of shares of Common
Stock acquired upon exercise of the option either through a voluntary sale or
through a mandatory sale arranged by the Corporation (on Optionee’s behalf
pursuant to this authorization), or (D) a cash payment to the Corporation by a
broker-dealer acceptable to the Corporation to whom Optionee has submitted an
irrevocable notice of exercise. To avoid negative accounting treatment, the
Corporation may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering
applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for
Withholding Taxes is satisfied by withholding in shares of Common Stock, for tax
purposes, Optionee is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of
Common Stock subject to the option, notwithstanding that a number of

 

9

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

  shares of Common Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the
Withholding Taxes. Finally, Optionee shall pay to the Corporation or the
Employer any amount of Withholding Taxes that the Corporation or the Employer
may be required to withhold as a result of Optionee’s participation in the Plan
that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Corporation
shall have sole discretion to deliver the shares of Common Stock if Optionee
fails to comply with his or her obligations in connection with the Withholding
Taxes as described in this section and Optionee unconditionally consents to and
approves any such action taken by the Corporation. Optionee (or any beneficiary
or person entitled to act on Optionee’s behalf) shall provide the Corporation
with any forms, documents or other information reasonably required by the
Corporation.

 

  19. Labor Law. By accepting this option grant, the Optionee acknowledges that:
(a) the grant of this option is a one-time benefit which does not create any
contractual or other right to receive future grants of options, or benefits in
lieu of options; (b) all determinations with respect to any future grants,
including, but not limited to, the times when the options shall be granted, the
number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to each award of options, the
time or times when options shall vest, will be at the sole discretion of the
Corporation; (c) the Optionee’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; (d) this
award of options is an extraordinary item of compensation which is outside the
scope of the Optionee’s employment contract, if any; (e) this award of options
is not part of the Optionee’s normal or expected compensation for purposes of
calculating any severance, resignation, redundancy, end-of-service payments,
bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar
payments; (f) the vesting of this award of options ceases upon termination of
Service for any reason except as may otherwise be explicitly provided in the
Plan or this Agreement; (g) the future value of the underlying shares of Common
Stock is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty and may decrease even
lower than the Exercise Price; (h) this award of options has been granted to the
Optionee in the Optionee’s status as an Employee, a non-employee member of the
Board or a consultant or independent advisor of the Corporation or its Parent or
Subsidiary; (i) any claims resulting from this award of options shall be
enforceable, if at all, against the Corporation; (j) in consideration of the
grant of this award, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall
arise from termination of the award or diminution in value of the award or any
of the shares issuable under the award from termination of Optionee’s Service by
the Corporation or Employer, as applicable (and for any reason whatsoever and
whether or not in breach of contract or local labor laws), and Optionee
irrevocably releases his or her Employer, the Corporation and its Subsidiaries,
as applicable, from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
arisen, then, by signing this Agreement, Optionee shall be deemed to have
irrevocably waived his or her entitlement to pursue such claim; and (k) in the
event that Employer is not the Corporation, the grant of the options will not be
interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Corporation
and, furthermore, the grant of the options will not be interpreted to form an
employment contract with the Employer or any Subsidiary.

 

  20. Disclosure of Optionee Information.

 

  a) Optionee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection,
use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Optionee’s personal data as
described in this Agreement by and among, as applicable, Optionee’s employer,
the Corporation and its Subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing,
administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan.

 

10

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

  b) For Optionees outside the U.S., Optionee understands that Optionee’s
employer, the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, hold certain
personal information about Optionee regarding Optionee’s employment, the nature
and amount of Optionee’s compensation and the fact and conditions of Optionee’s
participation in the Plan, including, but not limited to, Optionee’s name, home
address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other
identification number, salary, nationality, health, job title, any shares of
stock or directorships held in the Corporation and its Subsidiaries, details of
all options, awards or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded,
canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor, for
the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (the “Data”).
Optionee understands that the Data may be transferred to any third parties
assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that
these recipients may be located in Optionee’s country, or elsewhere, and that
the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections
than Optionee’s country. Optionee understands that Optionee may request a list
with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by
contacting Optionee’s local human resources representative. Optionee authorizes
the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in
electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and
managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer
of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party. Optionee
understands that the Data will be held only as long as is necessary to
implement, administer and manage Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Optionee
understands that Optionee may, at any time, view the Data, request additional
information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary
amendments to the Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case
without cost, by contacting in writing Optionee’s local human resources
representative. Optionee understands, however, that refusing or withdrawing
Optionee’s consent may affect Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For
more information on the consequences of Optionee’s refusal to consent or
withdrawal of consent, Optionee understands that Optionee may contact his or her
local human resources representative.

 

  21. Governing Law. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without
resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.

 

11

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

  22. Imposition of Other Requirements. The Corporation reserves the right to
impose other requirements on Optionee’s participation in the Plan, on the award
and on any shares of Common Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent the
Corporation determines it is necessary or advisable in order to comply with any
applicable law or facilitate the administration of the Plan. Optionee agrees to
sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to
accomplish the foregoing. Furthermore, Optionee acknowledges that the laws of
the country in which Optionee is working at the time of grant, vesting or the
sale of shares of Common Stock received pursuant to this award (including any
rules or regulations governing securities, foreign exchange, tax, labor, or
other matters) may subject Optionee to additional procedural or regulatory
requirements that Optionee is and will be solely responsible for and must
fulfill.

 

  23. Translations. If Optionee has received this Agreement or any other
document or communication related to the Plan or this grant in a language other
than English and the meaning in the translation is different than in the English

decided to make awards of options under the Plan to individuals who may be

benefit, salary for any purpose (including severance compensation) or any other

any liability for secondary Class 1 NICs which may be payable by the Corporation
and/or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining you in connection with

NICs”). Without limitation to the foregoing, you agree to enter into a joint
election with the Corporation (the “Joint Election”), the form of such Joint
Election being formally approved by HMRC, and to execute any other consents or
elections required to accomplish the transfer of the Employer’s NICs to you. You

Event”) within 90 days after the Taxable Event, or such other period specified

due and repayable by you, and the Corporation and/or the Employer may recover it

Taxable Event, the amount of any uncollected Withholding Taxes may constitute a

contributions at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in
Paragraph 18 of the Agreement.
