4.    Administration of the Plan. 
 
(a)    Procedure. 
 
(i)    Multiple Administrative Bodies.    The Plan may be administered by different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers.

 
(ii)    Section
162(m).    To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Awards granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall
be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. 
 
(iii)    Rule 16b-3.    To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as
exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3. 
 
(iv)    Other Administration.    Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be
administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws. 
 
(b)    Powers of the Administrator.    Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the
case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion: 
 
(i)    to determine the Fair Market Value; 
 
(ii)    to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

 
(iii)    to determine the
number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award granted hereunder; 
 
(iv)    to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan; 
 
(v)    to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted
hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and
any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine; 







 
(vi)    to reduce the exercise price of any Award to the then current Fair Market Value if the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock covered by such Award shall have declined since the date the Award was granted;

 
(vii)    to institute an
Option Exchange Program; 
 
(viii)    to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan; 
 
(ix)    to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations
relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws; 
 
(x)    to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 17(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to
extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan; 
 
(xi)    to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from
the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax
to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; 
 
(xii)    to authorize any person to
execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator; 
 
(xiii)    to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan. 
 
(c)    Effect of Administrator’s
Decision.    The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Participants. 
 
5.    Eligibility.    Nonstatutory Stock Options, Stock Purchase Rights and Stock
Appreciation Rights may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. 
 
6.    Limitations. 
 
(a)    Each Option shall be designated in the Option Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory
Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Optionee during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be 








taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option
with respect to such Shares is granted. 
 
(b)    Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall they interfere in
any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without Cause. 
 
(c)    The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options: 
 
(i)    No Service Provider shall be
granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options to purchase more than 1,000,000 Shares. 
 
(ii)    In connection with his or her initial service, a Service Provider may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 2,000,000 Shares, which shall not count against the
limit, set forth in subsection (i) above. 
 
(iii)    The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 14. 
 
(iv)    In applying the limits of
subsections (i) and (ii), the Administrator, to the extent required to qualify Options as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, shall apply the rules of Section 162(m) as necessary or
appropriate to reflect an Option that is cancelled or the exercise price of which is reduced. 
 
7.    Term of Plan.    Subject to Section 21 of the Plan, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for
a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 17 of the Plan. 
 
8.    Term of Option.    The term of each Option shall be stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be ten
(10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock
representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter
term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. 
 
9.    Option Exercise Price and Consideration. 
 
(a)    Exercise Price.    The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the
Administrator, subject to the following: 
 
(i)    In the case of an Incentive Stock Option 







 
(A)    granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
 
(B)    granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share
exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
 
(ii)    In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be determined by the
Administrator. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the date of grant. 
 
(iii)    Notwithstanding the preceding, in the event that the Company or a Subsidiary consummates a transaction described in section 424(a) of the Code (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from an unrelated
corporation), persons who become Employees, Directors or Consultants on account of such transaction may be granted Options in substitution for options granted by their former employer. If such substitute Options are granted, the Administrator, in
its sole discretion and consistent with section 424(a) of the Code, shall determine the exercise price of such substitute Options. 
 
(b)    Waiting Period and Exercise Dates.    At the time an Option is granted, the
Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. 
 
(c)    Form of Consideration.    The Administrator shall
determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such
consideration may consist entirely of: 
 
(i)    cash; 
 
(ii)    check; 
 
(iii)    promissory note; 
 
(iv)    other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Participant for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (B) 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; 
 
(v)    consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in
connection with the Plan; 







 
(vi)    a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Participant, including any liability attributable to the Participant’s participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or
arrangement; 
 
(vii)    any
combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or 
 
(viii)    such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws. 
 
10.    Exercise of Option. 
 
(a)    Procedure for Exercise; Rights
as a Stockholder.    Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement.
Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
 
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives:
(i) written or electronic notice of 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 authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant,
in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), 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. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made
for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan. 
 
Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter 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)    Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.    Subject to Section 14, if a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider (but not in the event
of a Participant’s change of status from Employee to Consultant (in which case an Employee’s Incentive Stock Option shall automatically convert to a Nonstatutory Stock Option on the ninety-first (91st) day following such change of status) or from Consultant to Employee), such Participant may, but only within such period of time as is specified in
the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), exercise his or her Option to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise it at the date of such
termination. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as









to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the
Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
 
(c)    Disability of Optionee.    If a Participant ceases to
be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may, but only within twelve (12) months from the date of such termination (and in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth
in the Award Agreement), exercise his or her Option to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination. If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested
portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 
(d)    Death of
Optionee.    If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option
as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death. If, at the time of
death, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the
Participant’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Participant’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall
terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
 
(e)    Buyout Provisions.    The Administrator may at any time offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Option previously granted based on such
terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Participant at the time that such offer is made. 
 
11.    Stock Purchase Rights. 
 
(a)    Rights to Purchase.    Stock Purchase Rights may be
issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the
Participant in writing or electronically, of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the offeree shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which the offeree must
accept such offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of an Award Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. 
 
(b)    Repurchase Option.    Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Award
Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for Shares
repurchased pursuant to the Award Agreement shall be the original price paid by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the 








purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at a rate determined by the Administrator. 
 
(c)    Other
Provisions.    The Award Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 
 
(d)    Rights as a
Stockholder.    Once the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a Stockholder, and shall be a Stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan. 
 
12.    Non-Transferability of
Awards.    Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award 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
and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 
13.    Formula Option
Grants to Outside Directors.    Outside Directors shall be granted Options in accordance with the following provisions: 
 
(a)    All Options granted pursuant to this Section shall be Nonstatutory Stock Options and, except as otherwise
provided herein, shall be subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan.

stockholders of the Company occurring after the end of the Company’s fiscal year 2002, if immediately after such meeting, he or she shall continue to serve on the Board and shall have served on the Board for at least the preceding six (6)
months. 
 
(d)    Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) hereof, any exercise of an Option granted before the Company has obtained stockholder approval of the Plan in accordance with Section 21 hereof
shall be conditioned upon obtaining such stockholder approval of the Plan in accordance with Section 21 hereof. 







 
(e)    The terms of each First Option granted pursuant to this Section shall be as follows: 
 
(i)    the term of the Option shall be ten (10) years. 
 
(ii)    the exercise price per Share shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on
the date of grant of the Option.

(a)    Grant of SARs.    Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, SARs may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as

subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan. However, the exercise price of an SAR shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market
Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

(f)    Payment Upon Exercise of
SAR.    At the discretion of the Administrator, payment for a SAR may be in cash, Shares or a combination thereof. 
 
15.    Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale. 
 
(a)    Changes in
Capitalization.    Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized
for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Award,
shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt
of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. 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 of Common Stock subject to an Award. 
 
(b)    Dissolution or
Liquidation.    In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The
Administrator in its discretion may provide for a Participant to have the right to exercise his or her Award for a number of days (determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion) prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock
covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Award shall lapse as to
all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such
proposed action.  
 
(c)    Merger or Asset Sale.    In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a
“Merger”), each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation (the “Successor Corporation”). In the event that the
Successor Corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Award as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or
exercisable. If an Award becomes fully 








vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Merger, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing
or electronically that the Award shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of time (determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion) from the date of such notice, and the Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For
the purposes of this Section 14(c), the Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Merger, the award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the Merger, the
consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Merger 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); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Merger is not solely common stock of the Successor Corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the
consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the Successor Corporation or its Parent equal in
fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Merger. 
 
16.    Change of Control.    In the event of a Change of Control, each outstanding Option
held by an Outside Director shall vest and become exercisable in full as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Outside Director would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. If an Option becomes fully vested and exercisable
as provided in this paragraph, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that the Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of time (determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion) from the date
of such notice, and the Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. 
 
17.    Date of Grant.    The date of grant of an Award shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting
such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
 
18.    Amendment and Termination of the
Plan. 
 
(a)    Amendment and Termination.    The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 
 
(b)    Stockholder Approval.    The Company shall obtain
Stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. 
 
(c)    Effect of Amendment or Termination.    No amendment, alteration, suspension or
termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. Termination of the
Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination. 







 
19.    Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
 
(a)    Legal Compliance.    Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 
(b)    Investment Representations.    As a condition to the
exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise 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. 
 
20.    Inability to Obtain Authority.    The 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. 
 
21.    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. 
 
22.    Stockholder Approval.    The Plan shall be subject to approval by the Stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted. Such Stockholder
approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.
