exercise, in such form as may be prescribed by the Company from time to time,
specifying the number of Shares to be purchased.


(d)           Payment of Exercise Price.  To be valid, any exercise of the Option must
be accompanied by full payment of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares
being purchased.  Such payment shall be
made (i) in cash or by certified check or bank check or wire transfer of

(f)            No Adjustment for Dividends or

the date as of which the issuance or transfer of Shares to the person entitled
thereto has been evidenced on the books and records of the Company pursuant to
clause (ii) of Section 3(g) hereof following exercise of the Option.


(g)           Issuance and Delivery of Shares.  As soon as practicable (and, in any event,
within 30 days) after the valid exercise of the Option, the Company shall
(i) effect the issuance or transfer of the Shares purchased upon such
exercise, (ii) cause the issuance or transfer of such Shares to be
evidenced on the books and records of the Company, and (iii) cause such
Shares to be delivered to a Company-Sponsored Equity Account in the name of the
person entitled to such Shares (or, with the Company’s consent, such other
brokerage account as may be requested by such person); provided, however,
that, in the event such Shares are subject to a legend as set forth in
Section 11 hereof, the Company shall instead cause a certificate
evidencing such Shares and bearing such legend to be delivered to the person
entitled thereto.


(h)           Partial Exercise.  If the Option shall have been exercised with
respect to less than all of the Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Option,
the Company shall make a notation in its books and records to reflect the partial
exercise of the Option and the number of Shares that thereafter remain
available for purchase upon exercise of the Option.


4.             Termination of Employment.


(a)           Cause.  In the event that the Holder’s employment is
terminated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates for Cause
prior to the vesting in full of the Option, as of the date of such termination
of employment the Option shall (i) cease to vest as of the date of such
termination of employment and (ii) to the extent vested as of the date of such
termination of employment, be exercisable in accordance with these Award Terms
until the earlier of (A) the 30th day after the date of such termination of
employment and (B) the Expiration Date, after which the Option shall no longer
be exercisable and shall be cancelled.


(b)           Without Cause or With Good
Reason.  In the event that the Holder’s
employment is terminated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
affiliates without Cause or by the Holder with Good Reason, in each case during
the Employment Period,
the Option shall (i) continue to vest in accordance with the “Schedule for
Vesting” set forth on the Grant Notice as if the Holder’s employment had
continued for a period of 24 months after the date of such termination and (ii)
to the extent vested on the date which is 24 months after the date of such
termination, be exercisable in accordance with these Award Terms until the
earlier of (A) the 30th day thereafter and (B) the
Expiration Date, after which the Option shall no longer be exercisable and
shall be cancelled.


 


4

















 


(c)           Death or Disability.  In the event that the Holder dies while
employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or the Holder’s
employment with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates is terminated
due to the Holder’s Disability, in each case prior to the vesting in full of
the Option, the Option shall (i) continue to vest in accordance with the “Schedule
for Vesting” set forth on the Grant Notice as if the Holder’s employment had
continued for a period of 24 months after the date of such termination and (ii)
to the extent vested on the date which is 24 months after the date of such
termination, be exercisable in accordance with these Award Terms until the
earlier of (A) the 30th day thereafter and (B) the
Expiration Date, after which the Option shall no longer be exercisable and
shall be cancelled.


(d)           Other.  Unless the Committee decides otherwise, in
the event that the Holder’s employment is terminated for any reason not addressed
by Section 4(a), 4(b) or 4(c) hereof prior to the vesting in full of the Option,
the Option shall (i) cease to vest as of the date of such termination of
employment and (ii) to the extent vested as of the date of such termination of
employment, be exercisable in accordance with these Award Terms until the
earlier of (A) the 30th day after the date of such termination of employment
and (B) the Expiration Date, after which the Option shall no longer be
exercisable and shall be cancelled.


5.             Tax Withholding.  The Company shall have the right to require
the Holder to satisfy any Withholding Taxes resulting from the exercise (in
whole or in part) of the Option, the issuance or transfer of any Shares upon
exercise of the Option or otherwise in connection with the Award at the time
such Withholding Taxes become due.  The
Holder shall be entitled to satisfy any Withholding Taxes contemplated by this
Section 5 (a) by delivery to the Company of  a certified check or bank check or wire
transfer of immediately available funds; (b) if securities of the Company of
the same class as the Shares are then traded or quoted on a national securities
exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or a national quotation system
sponsored by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and with the
Company’s consent, through the delivery of irrevocable written instructions, in
form acceptable to the Company, to the Equity Account Administrator (or, with
the Company’s consent, such other brokerage firm as may be requested by the
person exercising the Option) to sell some or all of the Shares being purchased
upon such exercise and to thereafter deliver promptly to the Company from the
proceeds of such sale an amount in cash equal to the aggregate amount of such
Withholding Taxes; or (c) with the Company’s consent, by any combination
of (a) and (b) above.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates shall have the right to withhold from the Holder’s
compensation any Withholding Taxes contemplated by this Section 5 and (ii)
the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any Shares upon exercise of the
Option unless and until all Withholding Taxes contemplated by this
Section 5 have been satisfied.


6.             Reservation of Shares.  The Company shall at all times reserve for
issuance or delivery upon exercise of the Option such number of shares of
Common Stock or other securities as shall be required for issuance or delivery
upon exercise thereof.


7.             Committee Discretion.  Except as may otherwise be provided in the
Plan, the Committee shall have sole discretion to (a) interpret any provision
of the Plan, the Grant Notice and these Award Terms, (b) make any
determinations necessary or advisable for the 


 


5

















 


administration of the Plan and the Award, and (c)
waive any conditions or rights of the Company under the Award, the Grant Notice
or these Award Terms, or amend, alter, accelerate, suspend, discontinue or
terminate the Award, the Grant Notice or these Award Terms; provided, however,
that, except as provided in Section 8 or 9  hereof,
without the consent of the Holder, no such amendment, alteration, suspension,
discontinuation or termination of the Award, the Grant Notice or these Award
Terms may materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of the
Holder in respect of the Award, taken as a whole.  Without intending to limit the generality or
effect of the foregoing, any decision or determination to be made by the
Committee pursuant to these Award Terms, including whether to grant or withhold
any consent, shall be made by the Committee in its sole and absolute
discretion, subject only to the terms of the Plan.  By accepting and agreeing to the Award, the
Holder consents to any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation
or termination of the Award, the Grant Notice or these Award Terms that
(i) is effected in accordance with Section 8 or 9  hereof or (ii) does not materially
and adversely affect the rights or obligations of the Holder in respect of the
Award, taken as a whole.


8.             Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits or
potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, in the event
of any corporate transaction or event such as a stock dividend, extraordinary
dividend or other similar distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of
Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock
split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up,
spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of Common Stock or
other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares
of Common Stock or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or
event affecting shares of Common Stock, then the Award shall be adjusted in
accordance with Section 7.6 of the Plan. 
In addition, the Committee is authorized to make such adjustments as it
deems appropriate in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in,
the Award in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without
limitation, events described in the preceding sentence) affecting the Company
or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or the financial statements of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or in response to changes in
applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.  It is intended that the Award will not be
subject to any adverse consequences under Section 409A of the Code; however,
the Committee is authorized to make such adjustments as it deems appropriate to
the terms and conditions of the Award in order to prevent the Award from
becoming subject to any adverse consequences under Section 409A of the Code.


9.             Registration and Listing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Option may not be exercised, and the Option and Shares
purchasable upon exercise of the Option may not be purchased, sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of or encumbered in any
way, unless such transaction is in compliance with (a) the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, or any comparable federal securities law, and all applicable
state securities laws, (b) the requirements of any securities exchange,
securities association, market system or quotation system on which securities
of the Company of the same class as the Shares are then traded or quoted, (c)
any restrictions on transfer imposed by the Company’s certificate of
incorporation or bylaws, and (d) any policy or procedure the Company has
adopted with respect to the trading of its securities, in each case as in
effect on the date of the intended transaction. 
The Company is under no obligation to register, qualify or list, or
maintain the registration, qualification or listing of, the Option or Shares
with the SEC, any state securities 


 


6

















 


commission or any
securities exchange, securities association, market system or quotation system
to effect such compliance.  The Holder
shall make such representations and furnish such information as may be
appropriate to permit the Company, in light of the then existence or
non-existence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, relating to the Option or Shares, to issue or transfer the
Option or Shares in compliance with the provisions of that or any comparable
federal securities law and all applicable state securities laws.  The Company shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to register the issuance or resale of the Option or Shares under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any comparable federal securities
law or applicable state securities law.


10.           Employment Violation.


(a)           In the event of an Employment
Violation, the Company shall have the right to require (i) the termination and
cancellation of the Option, whether vested or unvested, and (ii) payment
by the Holder to the Company of the Recapture Amount with respect to such
Employment Violation; provided, however, that, in lieu of payment
by the Holder to the Company of the Recapture Amount, the Holder, in his or her
discretion, may tender to the Company the Shares acquired upon exercise of the
Option during the Look-back Period with respect to such Employment Violation
and the Holder shall not be entitled to receive any consideration from the
Company in exchange therefor.  Any such
termination of the Option and payment of the Recapture Amount, as the case may
be, shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy
available to the Company arising out of or in connection with such Employment
Violation, including, without limitation, the right to terminate the Holder’s
employment if not already terminated and to seek injunctive relief and
additional monetary damages.


(b)           Without limiting the generality of
Section 10(a) hereof and Section 7.8 of the Plan and notwithstanding anything
to contrary contained herein, to the extent the Option would otherwise continue
to vest or be exercisable following the termination of the Holder’s employment,
if the Holder becomes employed by a corporation or other entity engaged in a
Competitive Business or otherwise engages directly or indirectly in a
Competitive Business, as of the date on which such employment or other
engagement commences, this Option shall (i) cease to vest and (ii) to the
extent the vested, be exercisable in accordance with this Option Agreement
until the earlier of (A) the 30th day thereafter and (B) the
Expiration Date.


11.           Legend.  The Company may, if determined by it based on
the advice of counsel to be appropriate, cause any certificate evidencing
Shares to bear a legend substantially as follows:


“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
HEREBY MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION
UNDER THE ACT.”


12.           No Right to Continued Employment.  Nothing contained in the Grant Notice or
these Award Terms shall be construed to confer upon the Holder any right to be
continued in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
or derogate from any right of the 


 


7

















 


Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates to retire, request the resignation of, or discharge
the Holder at any time, with or without Cause.


13.           No Rights as Stockholder.  No holder of the Option shall, by virtue of
the Grant Notice or these Award Terms, be entitled to any right of a
stockholder of the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of any
such holder are limited to those expressed, and are not enforceable against the
Company except to the extent set forth, in the Plan, the Grant Notice and these
Award Terms.


14.           Severability.  In the event that one or more of the
provisions of these Award Terms shall be invalidated for any reason by a court
of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be
separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof
shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.


15.           Governing Law.  To the extent that federal law does not
otherwise control, the validity, interpretation, performance and enforcement of
the Grant Notice and these Award Terms shall be governed by the laws of the
State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws
thereof.


16.           Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of the Grant Notice and these
Award Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, its
successors and assigns, and the Holder and, to the extent applicable, the
Holder’s permitted assigns under Section 3(b) hereof and the Holder’s
estate or beneficiary(ies) as determined by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.


17.           Notices.  Any notice or other document which the Holder
or the Company may be required or permitted to deliver to the other pursuant to
or in connection with the Grant Notice or these Award Terms shall be in
writing, and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, or
overnight courier, addressed as follows: (a) if to the Company, at its office
at 3100 Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90405, Attn: Stock Plan
Administration, or such other address as the Company by notice to the Holder
may designate in writing from time to time; and (b) if to the Holder, at the
address shown in the Employment Agreement or such other address as the Holder
by notice to the Company may designate in writing from time to time.  Notices shall be effective upon receipt.


18.           Conflict with Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the
terms of the Grant Notice or these Award Terms and the terms of the Plan, the
terms of the Plan shall control.  Nothing
in the Grant Notice, these Award Terms or the Plan is intended to, or does,
deprive the Holder of the benefit of any term or provision for which the Holder
specifically bargained with the Company, as such term or provision is expressly
set forth in the Holder’s Employment Agreement.
