such fees in connection with services rendered, such Director should not be considered an Outside Director.

 (i) If the Common Stock is listed on any established stock exchange or national market system,
including without limitation the Nasdaq National Market, the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common Stock shall be the closing sale price for such stock (or the closing bid, if no sales were reported), as quoted on such system or exchange (or, if

 (ii) If the Common Stock is quoted on Nasdaq (but not on the National Market) or regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer, but
selling prices are not reported, the Fair Market Value of a Share of Common Stock shall be the mean between the high and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the date of determination, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or such other

or hereafter existing, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code. 
 3. Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of
Section 11 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan is 3,300,284 Shares (the “Pool”) of Common Stock. The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. Effective as
of September 2, 2005, the number of Shares that may be issued hereunder after such date as Restricted Stock shall not exceed 124,300 Shares. 
 If an Option expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). If
Shares are forfeited to the Company pursuant to a Restricted Stock agreement, such Shares shall be returned to the Plan and shall become available for reissuance under the Plan, unless the Plan shall have been terminated. However, such Shares shall
not return to the Plan if the persons to whom they were originally issued receive the benefits of ownership of such Shares (other than voting), as such concept is interpreted from time to time by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the context
of Rule 16b-3. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an Option or to satisfy tax withholding obligations shall not become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. 
 4. Administration of and Grants under the Plan. 
 (a) Administration. Except as otherwise required herein, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. All grants of Options and Restricted Stock to Outside Directors under this Plan shall be automatic and
nondiscretionary and shall be made strictly in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (b) Option Grants.

 (i) No person shall have any discretion to select which Outside Directors shall be granted Options or to determine the
number of Shares to be covered by Options granted to Outside Directors. 
 (ii) Each Outside Director who joins the Board on
or after March 16, 2000 shall be automatically granted an Option to purchase 50,000 Shares (the “Initial Option”) upon the date of the first meeting of the Board at which such person first serves as a Director (which shall be
(i) in the case of a Director elected by the stockholders of the Company, the first meeting of the Board after the meeting of stockholders at which such Director was elected or (ii) in the case of a Director appointed by the Board to fill
a vacancy, the meeting of the Board at which such Director is appointed); provided, however, that no Option shall become exercisable under the Plan until stockholder approval of the Plan has been obtained in accordance with Section 17 hereof.

  

 -3- 







 (iii) On the date of each annual stockholder meeting (an “Annual Meeting”)
during the term of this Plan, each Outside Director shall automatically receive an additional Option to purchase 20,000 Shares (the “Annual Option”), provided that (1) the Annual Option shall be granted only to an Outside Director who
has served on the Board for at least six full months prior to the date of grant and (2) the grant of an Annual Option shall be subject to the person’s continued service as an Outside Director. 
 (iv) The terms of each Option granted hereunder shall be as follows: 
 (1) Each Option shall terminate, if not previously exercised or otherwise terminated, on a date six (6) years after the date of
grant. 
 (2) Each Option shall be exercisable only while the Outside Director remains a Director of the Company, except as
set forth in Section 8 hereof. 
 (3) The exercise price per Share of each Option shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value
per Share on the date of grant of the Option. 
 (4) Each Initial Option shall become exercisable in installments
cumulatively as 34%, 33% and 33%, respectively, of the Optioned Stock, on each of the three (3) succeeding years on the anniversary of such Option’s date of grant, for a total vesting period of approximately three (3) years, provided
that the Director continues to serve on the Board on such dates. 
 (5) Each Annual Option shall become fully exercisable on
the date of the Company’s next Annual Meeting for a total vesting period of approximately one (1) year, provided that the Director continues to serve on the Board on such date. 
 (v) In the event that any Option granted under the Plan would cause the number of Shares subject to outstanding Options plus the number of
Shares previously purchased upon exercise of Options and the number of Shares issued pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards to exceed the Pool, then each such automatic grant shall be for that number of Shares determined by dividing the total number of
Shares remaining available for grant by the number of Outside Directors on the automatic grant date. No further grants shall be made until such time, if any, as additional Shares become available for grant under the Plan through action of the
stockholders to increase the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or through cancellation or expiration of Options previously granted hereunder. 
 (c) Restricted Stock Awards. 
 (i) No person shall have any discretion to select which Outside Directors shall receive Restricted Stock Awards or to determine the number of Shares to be covered by Restricted Stock awarded to Outside Directors;
provided, however, that nothing in this Plan shall be construed to prevent an Outside Director from irrevocably declining to receive a Restricted Stock Award under this Plan. 
 (ii) On the date of each Annual Meeting during the term of this Plan, each Outside Director shall automatically receive a Restricted Stock
Award for that number of Shares determined by dividing (1) the product of (a) fifty percent (50%) of the cash value of his or her annual retainer as a Director multiplied by (b) 1.2, by (2) the Fair Market Value of a Share
on that 

  

 -4- 







 
date, rounded to the nearest whole Share, provided that on the date of grant of any such Restricted Stock Award such person is an Outside Director; and
provided further that sufficient Shares are available under the Plan for the grant of such Restricted Stock Award. 
 (iii) On
or before December 31 of the calendar year prior to each Annual Meeting during the term of this Plan, each Outside Director may make an election (the “Election”) to receive any or all of the remaining cash balance of his or her annual
retainer that will be earned for services performed as a Director in calendar years after the calendar year in which the election is made in the form of a Restricted Stock Award. The Election must be in writing and delivered to the Secretary of the
Company on or prior to December 31 of the calendar year prior to such Annual Meeting. Any Election made by an Outside Director pursuant to this subsection 4(c)(iii) shall be irrevocable and shall comply with Section 409A of the Code to the
extent applicable unless otherwise determined by the Board. Effective as of the Annual Meeting, the Outside Director shall receive a Restricted Stock Award for that number of Shares determined by dividing (1) the product of (a) the amount
of his or her annual retainer as a Director covered by the Election, multiplied by (b) 1.2, by (2) the Fair Market Value of a Share on that date, rounded to the nearest whole Share, provided that on the date of grant of any such Restricted
Stock Award such person is an Outside Director; and provided further that sufficient Shares are available under the Plan for the grant of such Restricted Stock Award. 
 (iv) The terms of a Restricted Stock Award granted hereunder shall be as follows: 
 (1) the purchase price shall be $.01 per Share (the par value of the Company’s Common Stock) and shall be deemed paid by services
rendered by the Director (except as otherwise determined by the Board and set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock agreement); and 
 (2) Subject to Sections 9(d) and 11(c), Restricted Stock shall vest on the date of the following year’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, provided that the Participant is an Outside Director on such
date. 
 (d) Powers of the Board. Subject to the provisions and restrictions of the Plan, the Board shall have the
authority, in its discretion: (i) to determine, upon review of relevant information and in accordance with Section 2(h) of the Plan, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock; (ii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and
Options and Restricted Stock Awards granted hereunder; (iii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (iv) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan; (v) to authorize any person to execute
on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Option or Restricted Stock Award previously granted hereunder; (vi) to modify or amend each Option or Restricted Stock Award (not inconsistent with the terms of the
Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Options; and (vii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. 
 (e) Effect of Board’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Board shall be final and binding on
all Participants and any other holders of Options or Restricted Stock Awards and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law. 
  

 -5- 







 5. Eligibility. Options and Restricted Stock Awards may be granted only to Outside Directors. All
Options shall be automatically granted in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 4(b) and all Restricted Stock Awards shall be automatically granted in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 4(c) 
 The Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuation of service as a Director or nomination to serve as a
Director, nor shall it interfere in any way with any rights which the Director or the Company may have to terminate his or her directorship at any time. 
 6. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the stockholders of the Company as described in Section 17 of the Plan. It shall
continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 12 of the Plan. 
 7. Option Exercise
Price and Consideration. 
 (a) Exercise Price. The per Share exercise price for Optioned Stock shall be 100% of
the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant of the Option. 
 (b) Form of Consideration. The consideration to
be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option may consist of (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) other Shares which, in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, either have been owned by the Participant for
more than six (6) months on the date of surrender or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company, and have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option
shall be exercised, (iv) any combination of the foregoing methods; or (vi) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided however, that in no case will loans be
permitted as consideration for exercising an Option hereunder. 
 (c) No Repricing. The per Share exercise price for
Optioned Stock may not be reduced without the consent of the Company’s stockholders. This shall include, without limitation, a repricing of the Optioned Stock as well as an Option exchange program whereby the Participant agrees to cancel an
existing Option in exchange for an Option, a Restricted Stock Award, cash, or a combination thereof. 
 8. Exercise of Option.

 (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times
as are set forth in Section 4(b) hereof. 
 An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
 An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of such exercise (in accordance
with the Option agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment 

  

 -6- 







 
allowable under Section 7(b) of the Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. A
share certificate for the number of Shares so acquired shall be issued to the Participant as soon as practicable after exercise of the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date
the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan. 
 Except as otherwise provided in
Section 3, exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is
exercised. 
 (b) Rule 16b-3. Options granted to Outside Directors must comply with the applicable provisions of Rule
16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act or any successor thereto and shall contain such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect
to Plan transactions. 
 (c) Termination of Status as a Director. If an Outside Director ceases to serve as a Director,
he may, but only within seven (7) months after the date he ceases to be a Director of the Company, exercise his Option to the extent that he was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination; provided, however, that if
an Outside Director ceases to serve as a Director upon a Qualified Retirement, then he may, but only within three (3) years after the date he ceases to be a Director of the Company, exercise his Option to the extent he was entitled to exercise
it at the date of such Qualified Retirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after its term has expired. To the extent that the Director was not entitled to exercise an Option at the date of such termination,
or if he does not exercise such Option (which he was entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
 (d) Disability of Participant. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8(c) above, in the event a Participant is unable to
continue his service as a Director as a result of his total and permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), he may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of termination, exercise his Option to the extent
he was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after its term has expired. To the extent that he was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
termination, or if he does not exercise such Option (which he was entitled to exercise) within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
 (e) Death of Participant. In the event of the death of a Participant during the term of an Option, the Option shall become fully
exercisable, including as to Shares for which it would not otherwise be exercisable and may be exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death, by the Participant’s estate or by a person who acquired the right
to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after its term has expired. To the extent the Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  

 -7- 







 9. Restricted Stock. 
 (a) Restricted Stock Agreement. Following the grant of a Restricted Stock Award in accordance with Section 4(c), the Board
shall provide the Participant with a Restricted Stock agreement, in such form as the Board shall approve, specifying the number of Shares granted, the Period of Restriction, and such other terms, conditions and restrictions relating to the
Restricted Stock Award. Unless the Board determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed. 
 (b) Rights as a Stockholder. Until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing Restricted Stock, no right to vote or to receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock. A share certificate
for the number of Shares of Restricted Stock granted shall be issued to the Participant as soon as practicable after the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Award. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date
is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 11 of the Plan. 
 (c) Removal of
Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock Award made under the Plan shall be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The Board, in its discretion, may
accelerate the time at which any restrictions shall lapse or be removed. After the restrictions have lapsed, the Participant shall be entitled to have any legends removed from his or her Share certificate, and the Shares shall be freely transferable
by the Participant. The Board (in its discretion) may establish procedures regarding the release of Shares from escrow and the removal of legends, as necessary or appropriate to minimize administrative burdens on the Company. 
 (d) Termination of Status as a Director. In the event a Participant ceases to be a Director prior to vesting (other than by reason
of the Participant’s death), any unvested Shares of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited by the Participant without any consideration therefor. 
 (e) Death. In the event a Participant ceases to be a Director by reason of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s Restricted Stock shall become fully vested as of the date of death. 
 (f) Shares Available Under the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3 hereof, the grant of a Restricted Stock Award
as provided hereunder shall result in a decrease in the number of Shares that thereafter shall be available under the Plan, by the number of Shares of Restricted Stock subject thereto. On the date set forth in the Restricted Stock agreement, the
Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed shall revert to the Company and again shall become available for grant under the Plan. 
  

 -8- 







 (g) Rule 16b-3. Restricted Stock Awards to Outside Directors must comply with the
applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act and shall contain such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify Plan transactions, and other transactions by Outside Directors that could be matched with
Plan transactions, for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions. 
 10.
Non-Transferability of Options and Restricted Stock Awards. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, Options and Restricted Stock Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than
by will or by the laws of descent or distribution. Options may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Board makes an Option or Restricted Stock Award transferable, such award shall contain such
additional terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate; provided, however, that such award shall in no event be transferable for value. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may, if the Board (in its discretion) so permits, transfer
an Option or Restricted Stock Award granted on or after March 13, 2008 to an individual or entity other than the Company. Any such transfer shall be made in accordance with such procedures as the Board may specify from time to time. 

11. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger, Asset Sale or Change of Control. 
 (a) Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of Shares covered by
each outstanding Option and Restricted Stock Award, the number of Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or Restricted Stock Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon
cancellation or expiration of an Option or forfeiture of Restricted Stock, as well as the price per Share covered by each such outstanding Option, as applicable, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
Shares resulting from a stock split, spin off, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by
the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of
shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Option or Restricted Stock Award.

 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, Options and
Restricted Stock (other than Restricted Stock granted in accordance with Section 4(c)(iii) on or after March 13, 2008) shall become fully vested and, in the case of Options, fully exercisable, including as to Shares as to which it would
not otherwise be exercisable. To the extent an Option remains unexercised at the time of the dissolution or liquidation, the Option shall terminate. 
 (c) Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of (i) a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, other than a merger which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding
immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or its parent) at least fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the
voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity or its parent outstanding immediately after such merger or (ii) the sale of substantially all of 

  

 -9- 







 
the assets of the Company, Restricted Stock shall fully vest and outstanding Options may be assumed or equivalent options may be substituted by the successor
corporation or a parent or subsidiary thereof (the “Successor Corporation”). If an Option is assumed or substituted for, the Option or equivalent option shall continue to be exercisable as provided in Section 4 hereof for so long as
the Participant serves as a Director or a director of the Successor Corporation. Following such assumption or substitution, if the Participant’s status as a Director or director of the Successor Corporation, as applicable, is terminated other
than upon a voluntary resignation by the Participant, the Option or option shall become fully exercisable, including as to Shares for which it would not otherwise be exercisable. Thereafter, the Option or option shall remain exercisable in
accordance with Sections 8(c) through (e) above. 
 If the Successor Corporation does not assume an outstanding Option or
substitute for it an equivalent option, the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable, including as to Shares for which it would not otherwise be exercisable. In such event the Board shall notify the Participant that the Option shall be fully
exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and upon the expiration of such period the Option shall terminate. 
 For the purposes of this Section 11(c), an Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock
subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the
effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares). 
 12. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 
 (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension, or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights
of any Participant under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent. In addition, to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law or regulation, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment
in such a manner and to such a degree as required. 
 (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or
termination of the Plan shall not impair the rights of any Participant under Options or Restricted Stock already granted without his or her consent and, in the absence of such consent, such Options and Restricted Stock shall remain in full force and
effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated. 
 13. Time of Granting Options or Restricted Stock Awards. The date of
grant of an Option or Restricted Stock Award shall, for all purposes, be the date determined in accordance with Section 4 hereof. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Outside Director to whom an Option or Restricted Stock Award is
so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
 14. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be
issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or grant of a Restricted Stock Award unless the exercise of such Option or grant of such Restricted Stock Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto 

  

 -10- 







 
shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and
regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 As a condition to the exercise of an Option or receipt of Shares under a Restricted Stock Award, the Company may require
the person exercising such Option or receiving Shares of Restricted Stock to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or receipt that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or
distribute such Shares, if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned relevant provisions of law. 
 Inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s
counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 15. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of
Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
 16. Agreements. Options and Restricted Stock Awards shall be
evidenced by written agreements in such form as the Board shall approve. 
 17. Stockholder Approval. Continuance of the Plan shall be
subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company at or prior to the first annual meeting of stockholders held subsequent to the adoption of the Plan. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under
applicable state and federal law. 
 18. Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Options and
Restricted Stock Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of
the business or assets of the Company. 
 19. Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term
used herein also shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
 20.
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. 
 21. Governing Law. The Plan and all award agreements shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of California (with the exception of its conflict of laws provisions). 
 22.
Captions. Captions are provided herein for convenience only, and shall not serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of the Plan.
