Company; provided, however, that if any such leave exceeds ninety (90) days, on
the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave the Optionee’s Service shall be deemed

or election.
  4.  Exercise
of the Option.
  4.1  Right to
Exercise.  Except as otherwise provided herein, the Option
shall be exercisable on and after the Initial Exercise Date and prior to the
termination of the Option (as provided in Section 6) in an amount not to
exceed the Number of Vested Shares (determined in accordance with the Notice)
less the number of shares previously acquired upon exercise of the
Option.
  4.2  Method of
Exercise.  Exercise of the Option shall be by written notice to
the Company in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto (the “Exercise
Notice”) which must state the election to exercise the Option, the number
of whole shares of Stock for which the Option is being exercised and such other
representations and agreements as to the Optionee’s investment intent with
respect to such shares as may be required pursuant to the provisions of this
Option Agreement.  The written notice must be signed by the Optionee
and must be delivered in person, by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, by confirmed facsimile transmission, or by such other means as the
Company may permit, to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, or other
authorized representative of the Participating Company Group, prior to the
termination of the Option as set forth in Section 6, accompanied by full
payment of the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of Stock being
purchased.  The Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by
the Company of such written notice, the aggregate Exercise Price, and, if
required by the Company, such executed agreement.
  4.3  Payment of Exercise
Price.  Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price for the number of shares of Stock for which the Option
is being exercised shall be made (i) in cash, by check, or cash equivalent,
(ii) by means of a Cashless Exercise, as defined below, or (iii) by
any combination of the foregoing.  Optionee shall be responsible for
filing any reports of remittance or other foreign exchange filings required in
order to pay the exercise price.  A “Cashless
Exercise” means the delivery of a properly executed notice together with
irrevocable instructions to a broker in a form acceptable to the Company
providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan
with respect to some or all of the shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of
the Option pursuant to a program or procedure approved by the Company
(including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the
provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System).  The Company reserves, at
any and all times, the right, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, to
decline to approve or terminate any such program or procedure.
  -4-
  4.4  Tax Withholding.  At
the time the Option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter
as requested by the Company, the Optionee hereby authorizes withholding from
payroll and any other amounts payable to the Optionee, and otherwise agrees to
make adequate provision for (including by means of a Cashless Exercise to the
extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to satisfy the federal,
state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Participating
Company Group, if any, which arise in connection with the Option, including,
without limitation, obligations arising upon (i) the exercise, in whole or
in part, of the Option, (ii) the transfer, in whole or in part, of any
shares acquired upon exercise of the Option, or (iii) the operation of any
law or regulation providing for the imputation of interest.  The
Option is not exercisable unless the tax withholding obligations of the
Participating Company Group are satisfied.  Accordingly, the Company
shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock until the tax withholding
obligations of the Participating Company Group have been satisfied by the
Optionee.
  4.5  Certificate
Registration.  Except in the event the Exercise Price is paid
by means of a Cashless Exercise, the certificate for the shares as to which the
Option is exercised shall be registered in the name of the Optionee, or, if
applicable, in the names of the heirs of the Optionee.
  4.6  Restrictions on Grant of the Option
and Issuance of Shares.  The grant of the Option and the
issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to
compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state or foreign law
with respect to such securities.  The Option may not be exercised if
the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would constitute a violation of
any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or
regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon
which the Stock may then be listed.  In addition, the Option may not
be exercised unless (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act
shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the
shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (ii) in the opinion of legal
counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be
issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act.  THE OPTIONEE IS
CAUTIONED THAT THE OPTION MAY NOT BE EXERCISED UNLESS THE FOREGOING CONDITIONS
ARE SATISFIED.  ACCORDINGLY, THE OPTIONEE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXERCISE
THE OPTION WHEN DESIRED EVEN THOUGH THE OPTION IS VESTED.  The
inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction
the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary to
the lawful issuance and sale of any shares subject to the Option 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.  As a condition to the exercise of the Option, the Company
may require the Optionee to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or
appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to
make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by
the Company.  Any shares which are issued will be “restricted
securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as
further described in Section 7 of the Exercise Notice, unless they are
registered under the Securities Act.  The Company is under no
obligation to register the shares of Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Option.
  4.7  Fractional
Shares.  The Company shall not be required to issue fractional
shares upon the exercise of the Option.
  5.  Nontransferability
of the Option.
  The
Option may be exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee
or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative and may not be assigned or
transferred in any manner except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  Following the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the
extent provided in Section 7, may be exercised by the Optionee’s legal
representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Optionee’s
will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.
  -5-
  6.  Termination
of the Option.
  The
Option shall terminate and may no longer be exercised on the first to occur of
(a) the Option Expiration Date, (b) the last date for exercising the
Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service as described in
Section 7, or (c) a Change in Control to the extent provided in
Section 8.
  7.  Effect of
Termination of Service.
  7.1  Option
Exercisability.
  (a)  Disability.  If
the Optionee’s Service with the Participating Company Group terminates because
of the Disability of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and
exercisable on the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, may be
exercised by the Optionee (or the Optionee’s guardian or legal representative)
at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months after the date on
which the Optionee’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the
Option Expiration Date.
  (b)  Death.  If
the Optionee’s Service with the Participating Company Group terminates because
of the death of the Optionee, the Option, to the extent unexercised and
exercisable on the date on which the Optionee’s Service terminated, may be
exercised by the Optionee’s legal representative or other person who acquired
the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Optionee’s death at any time
prior to the expiration of six (6) months after the date on which the
Optionee’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option
Expiration Date.  The Optionee’s Service shall be deemed to have
terminated on account of death if the Optionee dies within three (3) months
after the Optionee’s termination of Service.
  (c)  Other Termination
of Service.  If the Optionee’s Service with the Participating
Company Group terminates for any reason, except Disability or death, the Option,
to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Optionee on the date on which
the Optionee’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Optionee at any time
prior to the expiration of six (6) months (or such other longer period of
time as determined by the Board, in its discretion) after the date on which the
Optionee’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option
Expiration Date.
  7.2  Extension if Exercise Prevented by
Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of the
Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 7.1 is
prevented by the provisions of Section 4.6, the Option shall remain
exercisable until three (3) months after the date the Optionee is notified
by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than
the Option Expiration Date.
  7.3  Extension if Optionee Subject to
Section 16(b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale
within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 7.1 of shares
acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Optionee to suit
tinder Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain
exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day
following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Optionee would no
longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th)
day after the Optionee’s termination of Service, or (iii) the Option
Expiration Date.
  -6-
  8.  Change In
Control.
  8.1  Definitions.
  (a)  An “Ownership Change
Event” shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs
with respect to the Company: (i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange in
a single or series of related transactions by the stockholders of the Company of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Company: (ii) a
merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party; (iii) the sale,
exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company;
or (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
  (b)  A “Change in
Control” shall mean an Ownership Change Event or a series of related
Ownership Change Events (collectively, a “Transaction”)
wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do
not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially the same
proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company’s voting stock
immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of
more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the
outstanding voting stock of the Company or the corporation or corporations to
which the assets of tile Company were transferred (the “Transferee
Corporation(s)”), as the case may be.  For purposes of the
preceding sentence, indirect beneficial ownership shall include, without
limitation, an interest resulting from ownership of the voting stock of one or
more corporations which, as a result of the Transaction, own the Company or the
Transferee Corporation(s), as the case may be, either directly or through one or
more subsidiary corporations.
  8.2  Effect of Change in Control on
Option.  In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving,
continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or parent corporation thereof
as the case may be (the “Acquiring
Corporation”), may either assume the Company’s rights and obligations
under the Option or substitute for the Option a substantially equivalent option
for the Acquiring Corporation’s stock.  In the event the Acquiring
Corporation elects not to assume the Company’s rights and obligations under the
Option or substitute for the Option in connection with the Change in Control,
and provided that the Optionee’s Service has not terminated prior to such date,
the Option shall become one hundred percent (100%) vested as of the date ten
(10) days prior to the date of the Change in Control.  Any vesting of
the Option that was permissible solely by reason of this Section 8.2 shall
be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control.  The
Option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of
the Change in Control to the extent that the Option is neither assumed or
substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Change in
Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change in
Control.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon exercise
of the Option prior to the Change in Control and any consideration received
pursuant to the Change in Control with respect to such shares shall continue to
be subject to all applicable provisions of this Option Agreement except as
otherwise provided herein.  Furthermore, notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the corporation the stock of which is subject to the Option
immediately prior to an Ownership Change Event described in Section 8.1
(a)(i) constituting a Change in Control is the surviving or continuing
corporation and immediately after such Ownership Change Event less than fifty
percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of its voting stock is held by
another corporation or by other corporations that are members of an affiliated
group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard
to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, the Option shall not
terminate.  In the event the Acquiring Corporation does assume the
Company’s rights and obligations under the Option or substitutes for the Option
a substantially equivalent option for the Acquiring Corporation’s stock, the
vesting of the Option in the Optionee, as described in the Notice, shall be
accelerated and made fully exercisable.  The Company shall provide the
Optionee with 10 business days written notice prior to the closing of a Change
in Control event so that the Optionee may exercise his Option
hereunder.
  9.  Adjustments
For Changes In Capital Structure.
  In the
event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization,
combination, reclassification, or similar change in the capital structure of the
Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number, Exercise Price and
class of shares of stock subject to the Option.  If a majority of the
shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to the Option
are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant
to an Ownership Change Event) shares of another corporation (the “New
Shares”), the Board may unilaterally amend the Option to provide that the
Option is exercisable for New Shares.  In the event of any such
amendment, the Number of Option Shares and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted
in a fair and equitable manner, as determined by the Board, in its
discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share
resulting from all adjustment pursuant to this Section 9 shall be rounded
down to the nearest whole number, and in no event may the Exercise Price be
decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to
the Option.  The adjustments determined by the Board pursuant to this
Section 9 shall be final, binding and conclusive.
  -7-
  10.  Rights as
a Stockholder, Employee or Consultant.
  The
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares
covered by the Option until the date of the issuance of a certificate for the
shares for which the Option has been exercised (as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company).  No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or
other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is
issued, except as provided in Section 9.  If the Optionee is an
Employee, the Optionee understands and acknowledges that, except as otherwise
provided in a separate, written employment agreement between a Participating
Company and the Optionee, the Optionee’s employment is “at will” and is for no
specified term.  Nothing in this Option Agreement shall confer upon
the Optionee any right to continue in the Service of a Participating Company or
interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to
terminate the Optionee’s Service as an Employee or Consultant, as the case may
be, at any time.
  11.  Lock-Up
Agreement.
  The
Optionee hereby agrees that in the event of any underwritten public offering of
stock, including but not limited to an initial public offering of stock, made by
the Company pursuant to au effective registration statement filed under the
Securities Act, the Optionee shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge,
hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or
otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire
stock of the Company for such period of time from and after the effective date
of such registration statement as may be established by the underwriter for such
public offering; provided, however, that such period of time shall not exceed
one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration
statement to be filed in connection with such public offering.  The
foregoing limitation shall not apply to shares registered in the public offering
under the Securities Act.
  12.  Legends.
  The
Company may at any time place legends referencing and any applicable federal,
state or foreign securities law restrictions on all certificates representing
shares of stock subject to the provisions of this Option
Agreement.  The Optionee shall, at the request of the Company,
promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares
acquired pursuant to the Option in the possession of the Optionee in order to
carry out the provisions of this Section.  Unless otherwise specified
by the Company, legends placed on such certificates may include, but shall not
be limited to, the following:
  “THE
SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED
OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH
ACT COVERING SUCH SECURITIES, THE SALE IS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER
THE ACT, OR THE COMPANY RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY
TO THE COMPANY, STATING THAT SUCH SALE, TRANSFER, ASSIGNMENT OR HYPOTHECATION IS
