However, if the person to whom the Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Option grant date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Incentive
Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another Option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Code § 424(a) (involving a corporate reorganization).

ARTICLE 8


CORPORATE TRANSACTION







8.1           Automatic Vesting of Shares Subject to Options.  The shares subject to each Option outstanding under the Plan at the time of a Corporate Transaction shall automatically vest in full so that each such Option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to that Option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock.  However, the
shares subject to an outstanding Option shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such Option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the Corporate Transaction and any repurchase rights of the Corporation with respect to the unvested Option shares are concurrently to be assigned to such successor corporation (or parent thereof), or (ii) such Option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested Option shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those unvested Option shares, or (iii) the acceleration of such Option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the Option grant.







8.2           Automatic Termination of Outstanding Repurchase Rights.  In the event of any Corporate Transaction, all outstanding repurchase rights shall terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction, or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed
by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.







8.3           Termination of Outstanding Options Following Corporate Transaction.  Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding Options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof).







8.4           Adjustment of Options Assumed in Corporate Transaction.  Each Option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction, had the Option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction.  Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to: (i) the number
and class of securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction, and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding Option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same.











  





10











  








8.5           Plan Administrator’s Discretion to Automatically Accelerate or Fully Vest Options.  The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time the Option is granted or at any time while the Option remains outstanding, to structure one or more Options so that those Options shall automatically accelerate and vest in full (and any repurchase rights of the Corporation with respect to the unvested shares subject to those Options shall immediately terminate) upon the
occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether or not those Options are to be assumed in the Corporate Transaction.







The Plan Administrator shall also have full power and authority, exercisable either at the time the Option is granted or at any time while the Option remains outstanding, to structure such Option so that the shares subject to that Option will automatically vest on an accelerated basis should the Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed 18 months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which the Option is assumed and the repurchase rights applicable to those shares do not otherwise terminate.  Any Option so accelerated shall remain exercisable for the fully-vested Option shares until the expiration or sooner
termination of the Option term.  In addition, the Plan Administrator may provide that one or more of the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights with respect to shares held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary Termination shall immediately terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall accordingly vest at that time.







8.6           Impact of $100,000 Limitation.  The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable $100,000 limitation is not exceeded.  To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such Option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws.







8.7           No Impact on Corporation’s Rights.  The grant of Options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.







ARTICLE 9


CANCELLATION AND RE-GRANT OF OPTIONS







The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected Option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding Options under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefore new Options covering the same or different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new Option grant date.
