     Each Outside Director shall be entitled to the following:

	 	(d)	 	the grant, as of each annual stockholder meeting, of an option that (i) is
exercisable to purchase 14,500 shares of common stock, (ii) has an exercise price equal
to the fair market value on the grant date, (iii) vests in full as of the immediately
succeeding annual stockholder meeting or any earlier change-in-control event (as defined
therein), and (iv) terminates upon the earlier of three months after the final date on
which the Outside Director is a member of the Board and ten years after the grant date;
and
	 
	 	(e)	 	if such Outside Director first joins the Board after the Effective Date, the grant,
as of the date on which such Outside Director first joins the Board, of an option that
(i) is exercisable to purchase 29,000 shares of common stock, (ii) has an exercise price
equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date, (iii) vests in
equal monthly installments over a period of 12 months following the grant date, subject
to earlier vesting in full upon the occurrence of a change-in-control event (as defined
therein), and (iv) terminates upon the earlier of three months after the final date on
which the Outside Director is a member of the Board and ten years after the grant date.




All retainer fees shall be paid quarterly in arrears, with fees earned during a fiscal quarter to
be paid during the first month of the immediately succeeding quarter. In the event an Outside
Director serves as a member of the Board or a committee or as Chair of a committee for less than
all of a fiscal quarter, the amount of the quarterly installment of each applicable retainer fee
under paragraphs (a) and (b) above shall equal one-twelfth of the amount of such retainer fee as
set forth in paragraph (a) or (b) multiplied by the number of full or partial months served in such
quarter.
