(subject to applicable securities laws and Section 7), the shares may not be
transferred to another broker or to any other person (including the Participant)
until 24 months after the Grant Date of the option with which the shares were

such shares to an account at another brokerage firm of the Participant’s
choosing or request that a certificate that represents the shares be issued and
delivered to the Participant.

6.3 Exhaustion of Shares. If at any time the shares available under the Plan are
over-enrolled, enrollments shall be reduced proportionately to eliminate the

anticipated as a result of the disposition; and (ii) and Participant has first
obtained all distributions (other than hardship distributions from the Company’s

for the submission of enrollment forms. When a withdrawal becomes effective, the
Participant’s payroll contributions shall cease and all amounts then credited to
the Participant’s account shall be distributed to him or her (without interest).
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, a Participant who has
withdrawn from the Plan pursuant to this Section 8 may not re-enroll in the Plan
until the next Enrollment Date after the date of his or her withdrawal. A
Participant’s withdrawal from the Plan shall not affect any shares held in the

9.1 Termination Of Status As Eligible Employee. A Participant shall cease to be
a Participant immediately upon the cessation of his or her status as an Eligible

Employers for any reason). As soon as practicable after such cessation, the
Participant’s payroll contributions shall cease and all amounts then credited to
the Participant’s account shall be distributed to him or her (without interest).

9.2 Leave of Absence. Unless a Participant voluntarily withdraws from the Plan,
shares will be purchased for that Participant’s account on the Purchase Date
next following commencement of a leave of absence by such Participant. However,

a prior Beneficiary designation) at any time by delivering a new designation (or
revocation of a prior designation) in like manner. Any designation or revocation
shall be effective only if it is received by the Committee. However, when so
received, the designation or revocation shall be effective as of the date the
notice is executed (whether or not the Participant still is living), but without
prejudice to the Committee on account of any payment made before the change is
recorded. The last effective designation received by the Committee shall
supersede all prior designations.

10.3 Failed Designations. If a Participant dies without having effectively

SECTION 13

GENERAL PROVISIONS

13.1 Participation by Subsidiaries. One or more Subsidiaries of the Company may
become participating Employers by adopting the Plan and obtaining approval for
such adoption from the Board of Directors. By adopting the Plan, a Subsidiary
shall be deemed to agree to all of its terms, including (but not limited to) the
provisions granting exclusive authority (a) to the Board of Directors to amend
the Plan, and (b) to the Committee to administer and interpret the Plan. Any
Subsidiary may terminate its participation in the Plan at any time. The
liabilities incurred under the Plan to the Participants employed by each
Employer shall be solely the liabilities of that Employer, and no other Employer
shall be liable for benefits accrued by a Participant during any period when he
or she was not employed by such Employer.

13.2 Inalienability. In no event may either a Participant, a former Participant
or his or her Beneficiary, spouse or estate sell, transfer, anticipate, assign,
hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any right or interest under the Plan; and
such rights and interests shall not at any time be subject to the claims of
creditors nor be liable to attachment, execution or other legal process.
Accordingly, for example, a Participant’s interest in the Plan is not
transferable pursuant to a domestic relations order. The preceding shall not
affect the Participant’s right to direct the sale or transfer of shares that
have been allocated to the Participant’s account at the broker designated by the
Participant (subject to the provisions of the Plan).

13.3 Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal
or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the
remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if
the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.

13.4 Requirements of Law. The granting of options and the issuance of shares
shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such
approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as the
Committee may determine are necessary or appropriate.

13.5 No Enlargement of Employment Rights. Neither the establishment or
maintenance of the Plan, the granting of any options, the purchase or any
shares, not any action of any Employer or the Committee, shall be held or
construed to confer upon any individual any right to be continued as an employee
of the Employer nor, upon dismissal, any right or interest in any specific
assets of the Employers other than as provided in the Plan. Each Employer
expressly reserves the right to discharge any employee at any time, with or
without cause.

13.6 Apportionment of Costs and Duties. All acts required of the Employers under
the Plan may be performed by the Company for itself and its Subsidiary, and the
costs of the Plan may be equitably apportioned by the Committee among the
Company and the other Employers. Whenever an Employer is permitted or required
under the terms of the Plan to do or perform any act, matter or thing, it shall
be done and performed by any officer or employee of the Employer who is
thereunto duly authorized by the board of directors of the Employer.

13.7 Construction and Applicable Law. The Plan is intended to qualify as an
“employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code.
Any provision of the Plan which is inconsistent with Section 423 of the Code
shall without further act or amendment by the Company or the Board be reformed
to comply with the requirements of Section 423. The provisions of the Plan shall
be construed, administered and enforced in accordance with such Section and with
the laws of the State of California (excluding California’s conflict of laws
provisions).

13.8 Captions. The captions contained in and the table of contents prefixed to
the Plan are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in
no way define, limit, enlarge or describe the scope or intent of the Plan nor in
any way shall affect the construction of any provision of the Plan.
