     4. Administration of the Plan.



          (a) Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by the Board or a Committee
appointed by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted to comply with Applicable Laws.




          (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the
case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to
the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its
discretion:




               (i) to determine the Fair Market Value;



               (ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Options and Stock Purchase Rights may from time
to time be granted hereunder;

               (v) to determine the terms and conditions of any Option or Stock Purchase Right granted
hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time
or times when Options or Stock Purchase Rights 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 Option or Stock Purchase Right or the Common Stock relating thereto, based

Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right
that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum 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 Optionees 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; and



               (viii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Options granted pursuant to the
Plan.



          (c) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Optionees.

     5. Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights may be granted
to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.



     6. Limitations.



          (a) Incentive Stock Option Limit. 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) At-Will Employment. Neither the Plan nor any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall
confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee’s relationship as a
Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the
Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, and with or
without notice.




     7. Term of Plan. Subject to stockholder approval in accordance with Section 19, the
Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. Unless sooner terminated under
Section 15, it shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the later of (i) the
effective date of the Plan, or (ii) the earlier of the most recent Board or stockholder approval of
an increase in the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan.



     8. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement;
provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant
thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the
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 term of the Option shall be five
(5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.



     9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.



          (a) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon
exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator, but shall be
subject to the following:




               (i) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option



                    (A) granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, 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 exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the date of grant.



-5-









 





                    (B) granted to any other Employee, 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.



               (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price
other than as required above pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction.



          (b) Forms of Consideration. The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued
upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the
Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of
grant). Such consideration may consist of, without limitation, (1) cash, (2) check,
(3) promissory note, (4) other Shares, provided Shares acquired directly from the Company (x) have
been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair
Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to
which such Option shall be exercised, (5) consideration received by the Company under a cashless
exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan, or (6) any combination of
the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to
accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably
expected to benefit the Company.




     10. Exercise of Option.



          (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder
shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as
determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. 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 Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall
be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the name of the Optionee
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 Shares,
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 13 of the Plan.



               Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in 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.



-6-









 





          (b) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If an Optionee ceases to be a
Service Provider, such Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is
specified in the Option Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in
the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option
shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on the
date of termination, the Optionee 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
Optionee 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 an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a
result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period
of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of
termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in
the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option
shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on the
date of termination, the Optionee 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
Optionee 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 an Optionee dies while a Service Provider, the Option may
be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no event
later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the
Optionee’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to
Optionee’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been
designated by the Optionee, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the
Optionee’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s
will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified
time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following
the Optionee’s termination. If, at the time of death, the Optionee 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. 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) Leaves of Absence.




               (i) Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be
suspended during any unpaid leave of absence.



               (ii) A Service Provider shall not cease to be an Employee in the case of (A) any leave of
absence approved by the Company or (B) transfers between locations of the Company or between the
Company, its Parent, any Subsidiary, or any successor.



-7-









 





               (iii) For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed ninety (90) days,
unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If
reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed,
then three (3) months following the 91st day of such leave, any Incentive Stock Option
held by the Optionee shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated
for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.



     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 offeree in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions
related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to
purchase, the price to be paid, and the time within which such person must accept such offer. The
offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement in the form
determined by the Administrator.




          (b) Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Restricted
Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable within 90 days of
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
Restricted Stock Purchase 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 such rate as the Administrator may determine.




          (c) Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Purchase 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 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 shall 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 13 of the
Plan.




     12. Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. Unless determined otherwise
by the Administrator, Options and Stock Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned,
hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent
and distribution, and may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.



     13. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.



          (a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the
form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse
stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,



-8-









 






repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the
corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to
prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made
available under the Plan, may (in its sole discretion) adjust the number and class of Shares that
may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each
outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right




          (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable
prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously
exercised, an Option or Stock Purchase Right will terminate immediately prior to the consummation
of such proposed action.




          (c) Merger or Change in Control. In the event of a merger of the Company with or into
another corporation, or a Change in Control, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall
be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or
Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation in a merger
or Change in Control refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or Stock Purchase Right, then
the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right
as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or
exercisable. If an Option or Stock Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of
assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or Change in Control, the Administrator shall
notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that this Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be
fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or
Stock Purchase Right shall terminate upon expiration of such period. For the purposes of this
paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger
or Change in Control, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share
of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the merger or
Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)
received in the merger or Change in Control 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 or Change in Control 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 Option
or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase
Right, 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 or Change in
Control.




     14. Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights. The date of grant of an
Option or Stock Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator
makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such later date as is
determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service
Provider to whom an Option or Stock Purchase Right is so granted within a reasonable time after the
date of such grant.

     15. 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 Board 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 Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise
between the Optionee 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.




     16. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.



          (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an
Option unless the exercise of such Option 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 Option, the
Administrator may require the person exercising such Option 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.




     17. 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.



     18. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all
times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.



     19. 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 degree and manner required under Applicable Laws.
