The issuance and transfer of the Shares alsomust comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing such Award,and the Company shall not issue the Shares if the Company determines that suchissuance and transfer would not be in material compliance with such laws andregulations.

*7.             **Right of Reacquisition***

In the event of the Termination of Participant’s service as an Employeeor Director of, or a Consultant to, the Company, the Company shall have a rightto reacquire (the “Reacquisition Rights”) the Shares that have not yet vestedin accordance with the Vesting Schedule in the Grant Notice (the “UnvestedShares”).  The Company shall,simultaneously with Participant’s Termination of service, as an Employee,Director or Consultant, automatically reacquire all of the Unvested Shares,without payment by the Company of any amount with respect thereto, unless theCompany agrees to waive its Reacquisition Rights to any or all of the UnvestedShares.

*9.             **Escrow of Unvested Shares***

Typically the Company expects that the Shares will be registered on abookkeeping entry basis with a broker selected by the Company.  Although Participant will be the beneficialowner of the Shares,

----

thebroker will be instructed not to permit transfer of the Shares by Participantprior to the time the Shares vest in accordance with the Grant Notice.  If the Company should at any time utilize adifferent method of share transfer, the Company may require Participant, andParticipant hereby agrees, to execute an escrow agreement or similar documents(including an assignment separate from certificate) to secure the Company’sReacquisition Rights with respect to any Unvested.

*10.          **Rights asStockholder***

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement (most specifically thatParticipant may not dispose of, encumber, or otherwise convert to gain anyUnvested Shares), Participant shall exercise all rights and privileges of astockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares, regardless of whethervested or unvested.  Participant shall bedeemed to be the holder of the Shares for purposes of receiving any dividendsthat may be paid with respect to such Shares and for purposes of exercising anyvoting rights relating to such Shares, even if some or all of the Shares havenot yet vested and been released from the Company’s Reacquisition Rights.

*11.          **Limitationson Transfer***

In addition to any other limitation on transfer created by applicablesecurities laws, Participant agrees not to sell, assign, hypothecate, donate,encumber or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Shares, except by will orby the laws of descent and distribution, while the Shares are subject to theReacquisition Rights.

*12.          **RestrictiveLegends***

The stock certificates evidencing the Shares issued under the AwardAgreement shall bear appropriate legends determined by the Company.

*13.          **Award not aService Contract***

The Award Agreement is not an employment or service contract, andnothing in the Award Agreement shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoeverany obligation on the Company or an Affiliate to continue Participant’semployment or service.  In addition,nothing in the Award Agreement shall obligate the Company or an Affiliate,their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, officers or Employees tocontinue any relationship that Participant may have as an Employee or Directorof, or a Consultant to, the Company or an Affiliate.

*14.          **WithholdingObligations***

*14.1.      *Participantunderstands and agrees that Participant is solely responsible for any and allfederal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations in connectionwith the Award.  Participant furtheragrees to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal,state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or anAffiliate, if any, which arise in connection with the Award and any lapse ofReacquisition Rights relating to the Shares subject to the Award.

*14.2.      *IfParticipant does not deliver to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer at leastfive (5) days prior to any date on which any Reacquisition Rights relating tothe Shares will lapse (each, a “Vesting Date”) a written notice of Participant’selection to satisfy by cash, check or other manner agreeable to the Company,all federal, state, local or foreign tax withholding obligations related tosuch Shares, Participant and the Company agree that the Company shall retainthat number of the Shares, based on the fair market value of the Company’scommon stock on such Vesting Date, with an aggregate value

----

equal to the amount of all federal, state, local or foreign tax withholdingobligations that Participant, the Company, or an Affiliate would incur as aresult of the lapse of Reacquisition Rights relating to such Shares.

*14.3.      *Unlessand until the tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate aresatisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for, orpermit the transfer, alienation, etc. of, any of the Shares.

*15.          **Section83(b) Election***

Participant understands that Section 83(a) of the Code taxes asordinary income the difference between the amount paid for the Shares and thefair market value of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shareslapse.  In this context, “restriction”means the Reacquisition Rights of the Company pursuant to Section 7 of thisAgreement.  Despite the fact that itmight be unusual to make the following election in the circumstances of thisAgreement (because of the significant taxes potentially due in the year of theelection as described below), Participant understands that Participant may electto be taxed at the time the Shares are granted, rather than when and as theReacquisition Rights expire, by filing an election under Section 83(b) (an “83(b)Election”) of the Code with the Internal Revenue Service within 30 days fromthe date the Shares were granted.  A formof such election is attached hereto as Attachment III.  The difference between the fair market valueof the Shares at the time of the execution of this Agreement and the amountParticipant is paying for the Shares, if any, makes it unlikely thatParticipant will choose to make an 83(b) Election, as such election wouldrequire that Participant pay taxes on that difference at the time the Sharesare purchased.  However, the 83(b)Election must be made if Participant wishes to avoid additional income underSection 83(a) in the future. Accordingly, Participant understands the decision to file or not filesuch an election has potentially dramatic tax consequences, and if the decisionis made to file such an election it must be filed in a timely.  Elections which are filed late can never beeffective.  Participant furtherunderstands that an additional copy of such election form should be filed withhis or her federal income tax return for the calendar year in which the date ofthis Agreement falls.  Participantacknowledges that the foregoing is only a summary of the effect of UnitedStates federal income taxation with respect to purchase of the Shareshereunder, and does not purport to be complete. Participant further acknowledges that the Company has directedParticipant to seek independent advice regarding the applicable provisions ofthe Code, the income tax laws of any municipality, state or foreign country inwhich Participant may reside, the tax consequences of Participant’s death and thedecision as to whether or not to file an 83(b) Election in connection with theacquisition of the Shares.

PARTICIPANTACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS THE PURCHASER’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT THE COMPANY’STO TIMELY FILE THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b) OF THE CODE, EVEN IFPARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ONPARTICIPANT’S BEHALF.

*16.          **Representations***

Participant has reviewed with his or her own tax advisors thefederal, state, local and foreign tax consequences relating to the Award andthe transactions contemplated by the Award Agreement.  Participant is relying solely on suchadvisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any ofits agents.  Participant understands thathe or she (and not the Company) shall be responsible for any tax liability thatmay arise as a result of the Award or the transactions contemplated by theAward Agreement.

----

*17.          **Data Privacy Consent***

Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to thecollection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’spersonal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, theCompany and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing,administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.
