			(a) Vesting Schedule.  The Option Shares as to which the Option shall have vested at any time in accordance with the terms of the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant are referred to as “Vested Shares,” and the Option Shares that shall not have vested are referred to as “Unvested Shares.”  All of the Option Shares are Unvested Shares as of the date of this Option Agreement.
		

		
			(b) Termination of Unvested Shares Upon Early Termination of Employment.  If the Optionee ceases to remain employed by the Company for any reason, (i) the Option shall immediately and automatically cease to be exercisable for any Unvested Shares as of the date of termination of employment and (ii) the Optionee shall immediately and automatically cease to have any right under the Option with respect to Unvested Shares as of the date of termination of employment.  In such event, this Option Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any Vested Shares.
		

		
			C.Acceleration of Vesting.
		

			
	
			
				 (a)
			In the event that of Optionee’s death or Disability (as defined in the Plan), all Unvested Options shall immediately vest as of the date of death or Disability.  




			
	
			
				 (b)
			In the event that, within twenty-four months after a Change in Control, Optionee is Terminated Without Cause by the Company or any successor Person, or Resigns For Good Reason, and the Optionee is not a Participant in such Change in Control, the vesting of all Unvested Options which are not otherwise fully vested shall automatically accelerate so that all such Unvested Options shall, immediately when the Optionee is Terminated Without Cause or Resigns for Good Reason, become fully vested, free of all restrictions.  




			
	
			
				 (c)
			In the event of a Corporate Transaction in which the Unvested Options are not to be Appropriately Replaced at or prior to the effective time of such 
		

		 


		

			2

		


		

			 

		






 

			Corporate Transaction, the vesting of all Unvested Options which are not otherwise fully vested shall automatically accelerate so that all such Unvested Options shall, immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, become fully vested, free of all restrictions.




			
	
			
				 (d)
			In the event that, within twenty-four months after a Corporate Transaction at or prior to which the Unvested Options have been Appropriately Replaced,  Optionee is Terminated Without Cause by the Company or any successor Person, or Resigns For Good Reason, and the Optionee is not a Participant in such Corporate Transaction, the vesting of all Unvested Options (or the substitute awards by which the Unvested Options are Appropriately Replaced) which are not otherwise fully vested shall automatically accelerate so that all such Unvested Options (or such substitute awards) shall, immediately when the Optionee is Terminated Without Cause or Resigns For Good Reason, become fully vested, free of all restrictions.




			
	
			
				 (e)
			For purposes of this Section II.C.:




			
	
			
				 (i)
			Unvested Options shall be considered “Appropriately Replaced” if, in addition to providing for acceleration as provided in clause (d) of this Section II.C., at or prior to the Corporate Transaction, in the judgment of the Committee as constituted at the time the Corporate Transaction is proposed or announced to the Company (the “Evaluating Committee”), the Unvested Options or a substituted award will confer the right to receive, for each share of Common Stock that may be received pursuant to the Unvested Options existing immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, on substantially the same vesting and other terms and conditions (including acceleration if the Optionee is Terminated Without Cause or Resigns For Good Reason) as were applicable to the Unvested Options immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) to be received in the Corporate Transaction by holders of Common Stock for each such share held on the effective date of such 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 of Common Stock); provided,  however, that if such consideration to be received in the transaction constituting a Corporate Transaction is not solely cash and/or common stock of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary, the Evaluating Committee may, if the obligations are to be assumed by the successor company, or its parent or subsidiary, approve that the consideration to be received upon the exercise or vesting of the Unvested Options (or the substituted award) will be common stock of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary substantially equal in fair market value to the per-share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the transaction constituting a Corporate Transaction.  The determination of such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Evaluating Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding.




			
	
			
				 (ii)
