unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate in full.]


 


[following for senior management] [(b)    Termination by the Company without
Cause; Termination for Good Reason. 
In the event Optionee’s employment or service with the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Optionee
for Good Reason, the Option shall become immediately vested and exercisable

total Option Shares and (ii) the ratio equal to the number of whole months that
have elapsed from the later of (x) the Date of Grant and (y) the last
anniversary of the Date of Grant to the termination date by 12, and the then

unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate in full.


 


(c)           Termination without Good Reason.  In the event Optionee terminates employment
or service with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary without Good Reason,

such 30-day period, any unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate in
full.


 


(d)           Termination as a Result of Death
or Disability.  In the event Optionee’s
employment or service with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary is
terminated as a result of Optionee’s death or Disability, any portion of the
Option that has vested as of the Termination Date shall be exercisable in whole

unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate in full.


 


(e)           During a Change in Control Period.  If, during a Change in Control Period, the

the Optionee for Good Reason, then immediately upon such termination the Option
shall be vested and exercisable with respect to the greater of (i) that portion
of the Option that has vested as of the Termination Date, or (ii) 50% of the
total Option Shares. The then vested and exercisable portion of the Option
shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days following the Termination Date,
and that portion of the Option that remains unvested shall terminate in full as
of the Termination Date.  Upon expiration
of such 90-day period, any unexercised portion of the Option shall terminate in
full.]

9.             Securities Laws Requirements.  The Option shall not be exercisable to any extent,
and the Company shall not be obligated to transfer any Option Shares to the
Optionee upon exercise of such Option, if such exercise, in the opinion of
counsel for the Company, would violate the Securities Act (or any other federal
or state statutes having similar requirements as may be in effect at that
time).


 


10.           Protections Against
Violations of Agreement.  No
purported sale, assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, transfer, pledge,
encumbrance, gift, transfer in trust (voting or other) or other disposition of,
or creation of a security interest in or lien on, any of the Option Shares by
any holder thereof in violation of the provisions of this Option Agreement or
the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company, will be valid,
and the Company will not transfer any of said Option Shares on its books nor
will any of said Option Shares be entitled to vote, nor will any dividends be
paid thereon, unless and until there has been full compliance with said
provisions to the satisfaction of the Company. 
The foregoing restrictions are in addition to, and not in lieu of any
other, remedies, legal or equitable, available to enforce said provisions.


 


11.           Withholding Requirements.  The Company’s obligations under this Option
Agreement shall be subject to all applicable tax and other withholding
requirements, and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the
right to deduct any withholding amounts from any payment or transfer of any
kind otherwise due to the Optionee.


 


12.           Successors and Assigns.  All the terms and provisions of this Option
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto, including the
Optionee’s estate, successors and beneficiaries; provided, however, that,
except as otherwise set forth herein, this Option Agreement may not be assigned
by the Optionee without the prior written consent of the Company.


 


13.           Failure to Enforce Not a Waiver.  The failure of either party to enforce at any
time any provision of this Option Agreement shall in no way be construed to be
a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof.


 


5

















 


14.           Governing Law.  This Option Agreement shall be governed by
and construed according to the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to
its principles of conflict of laws.


 


15.           Incorporation of Plan.  The Plan is hereby incorporated by reference
and made a part hereof, and the Option and this Option Agreement shall be
subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan.


 


16.           Amendments.  This Option Agreement may be amended or
modified at any time only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the
parties hereto.


 


17.           Rights as a Stockholder.  Neither the Optionee nor any of the Optionee’s
successors in interest shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company
with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to the Option until the date
of issuance of a stock certificate for such shares of Common Stock.


 


18.           Agreement Not a Contract of
Employment.  Neither the Plan, the
granting of the Option, this Option Agreement nor any other action taken
pursuant to the Plan shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or
understanding, express or implied, that the Optionee has a right to continue to
provide services as an officer, Board member, employee, consultant or advisor
of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or affiliate of the Company for any
period of time or at any specific rate of compensation.


 


19.           Authority of the Board.  The Board shall have full authority to
interpret and construe the terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement.  The determination of the Board as to any such
matter of interpretation or construction shall be final, binding and
conclusive.


 


20.           Dispute Resolution.  The parties agree to use their reasonable
best efforts to resolve any dispute regarding this Option Agreement through
good faith negotiations.  A party hereto
must give written notice of the substance of any dispute regarding this Option
Agreement to any other party to whom such dispute pertains.  Any such dispute that cannot be resolved
within 30 calendar days of receipt of the required notice (or such other time
period to which the parties may agree) will be submitted to an arbitrator
selected by mutual agreement of the parties. 
In the event that, within 50 days of the receipt of the required written
notice, a single arbitrator has not been selected by mutual agreement of the
parties, a panel of three arbitrators will be selected.  Each party to the dispute will select one
arbitrator and the two selected arbitrators will select one additional
arbitrator.  Except as the parties to the
dispute may otherwise agree, such arbitration will be conducted in accordance
with the then-existing rules for Commercial Arbitration of the American
Arbitration Association.  The decision of
the arbitrator or arbitrators, or of a majority thereof, as the case may be,
shall be made in writing and will be final and binding upon the parties hereto
as to the questions submitted.  The
parties will abide by and comply with such decision, which may be entered as an
enforceable judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however,
the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, shall not be empowered to
award punitive damages.  Unless the
decision of the arbitrator or arbitrators, as the case may be, provides for a
different allocation of costs and expenses determined by the arbitrators to be
equitable under the circumstances, the parties in any


 


6

















 


arbitration under this Option Agreement will bear their
own costs and expenses and will each be responsible for one half of the
arbitrator(s) fees.


 


IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Option
Agreement on the day and year first above written.
