following terms and conditions:

purchase price of $  per Share. The date of grant of this option is ___
(hereinafter referred to as the “Option Date”).



     2. Exercise Term of Option. Unless earlier terminated as described in Section 7, the option
will vest and may be exercised for the purchase of Shares as described in the following schedule:



	 	 	 	 	 
	Number of Shares	 	Vesting Schedule

     4. Other Conditions and Limitations.




(a) Any Shares issued upon exercise of this option shall not be issued unless the
issuance and delivery of Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant
provisions of law including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, any applicable state securities or “Blue Sky” law or laws (or an exemption
from such provision is available), and the requirements of any stock exchange or
national market system of a national securities association 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.




(b) No transfer of any Shares issued upon the exercise of the option will be permitted
by the Company, unless any request for transfer is accompanied by evidence satisfactory
to the Company that the proposed transfer will not result in a violation of any
applicable law, rule or regulation, whether federal or state, including in the
discretion of the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company.




(c) Inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having
jurisdictional authority 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 to the nonissuance or sale of such Shares as to which such requisite authority
shall not have been obtained.




(d) Unless the Shares are subject to a then effective registration statement under the
Securities Act of 1933, upon exercise of this option (in whole or in part) and the
issuance of the Shares, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to enter stop
transfer orders with respect to Shares, and all certificates representing the Shares
shall bear on the face thereof substantially the following legend:




“The shares of common stock represented by this certificate have not been registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be sold, offered for sale,
assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless registered pursuant to the
provisions of that Act or an opinion of counsel to the Company is obtained stating
that such disposition is in compliance with an available exemption from such
registration.”

statement of valuation of the Shares issued. The Company shall be entitled to withhold amounts
from your compensation or otherwise to receive an amount adequate to provide for any applicable
federal, state and local income taxes (or require you to remit such amount as a condition of

option can become exercisable, and shall not be exercisable after the earliest of (i) the tenth

retirement or cause, (iii) three years after the date you cease to perform services for the
Company, if such termination of services is by reason of death, permanent disability or retirement,
or (iv) the date you cease to perform services for the Company, if such termination is for cause,
as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 7, if you are a non-employee director of the Company and you have served
as a director of the Company for at least five years at the time you cease to serve in such
capacity, your options will be fully exercisable until the expiration of such options.
