1. Grant; Offering Date.




     (a) The Board hereby authorizes a series of Offerings pursuant to the terms of this Offering
document.



     (b) The first Offering hereunder (the “Initial Offering”) shall begin on the date the Common
Stock is first offered to the public under a registration statement declared effective under the
Securities Act and shall end on March 31, 2007, unless terminated earlier as provided below. The
Initial Offering shall consist of one (1) Purchase Period, with the first Purchase Period ending on

     (c) After the Initial Offering commences, an Offering shall begin on April 1 and October 1
each year over the term of the Plan and shall be approximately six (6) months in duration. Each
Offering shall consist of one (1) Purchase Period which shall be approximately (6) months in length
ending on March 31 and September 30 each year. Except as provided below, a Purchase Date is the
last day of a Purchase Period and an Offering.



     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) if any Offering Date falls on a day that is not a
Trading Day, then such Offering Date shall instead fall on the next subsequent Trading Day, and
(ii) if any Purchase Date falls on a day that is not a Trading Day, then such Purchase Date shall
instead fall on the immediately preceding Trading Day.



     (e) Prior to the commencement of any Offering, the Board may change any or all terms of such
Offering and any subsequent Offerings. The granting of Purchase Rights pursuant to each Offering
hereunder shall occur on each respective Offering Date unless prior to such date (i) the Board
determines that such Offering shall not occur, or (ii) no shares of Common Stock remain available
for issuance under the Plan in connection with the Offering.



2. Eligible Employees.




     (a) Each Eligible Employee who is an Employee on the Offering Date of an Offering hereunder
and is either (i) an employee of the Company; (ii) an employee of a Related Corporation
incorporated in the United States; or (iii) an employee of a Related Corporation that is not
incorporated in the United States, provided that the Board has designated the employees of



 1.









 




such Related Corporation as eligible to participate in the Offering, shall be granted a
Purchase Right on the Offering Date of such Offering.




     (b) Each person who first becomes an Eligible Employee during an Offering shall not be able to

     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Employees shall not be Eligible
Employees or be granted Purchase Rights under an Offering:



          (i) Employees whose customary employment is twenty (20) hours per week or less or five (5)
months per calendar year or less;




          (ii) five percent (5%) stockholders (including ownership through unexercised and/or unvested
stock options) as described in Section 5(c) of the Plan; or




          (iii) Employees in jurisdictions outside of the United States if, as of the Offering Date of
the Offering, the grant of such Purchase Rights would not be in compliance with the applicable laws
of any jurisdiction in which the Employee resides or is employed.




3. Purchase Rights.




     (a) Subject to the limitations herein and in the Plan, a Participant’s Purchase Right shall
permit the purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable with up to fifteen percent
(15%) of such Participant’s Earnings paid during the period of such Offering beginning immediately
after such Participant first commences participation; provided, however, that no Participant may
have more than fifteen percent (15%) of such Participant’s Earnings applied to purchase shares of
Common Stock under all ongoing Offerings under the Plan and all other plans of the Company and
Related Corporations that are intended to qualify as Employee Stock Purchase Plans.



     (b) For Offerings hereunder, “Earnings” means the base compensation paid to a Participant,
including all salary, wages (including amounts elected to be deferred by such Participant, that
would otherwise have been paid, under any cash or deferred arrangement or other deferred
compensation program established by the Company or a Related Corporation), overtime pay,
commissions and bonuses; but excluding all other remuneration paid directly to such Participant,
profit sharing, the cost of employee benefits paid for by the Company or a Related Corporation,
education or tuition reimbursements, imputed income arising under any Company or Related
Corporation group insurance or benefit program, traveling expenses, business and moving expense
reimbursements, income received in connection with stock options, contributions made by the Company
or a Related Corporation under any employee benefit plan, and similar items of compensation.



     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that a
Participant may purchase on any Purchase Date in an Offering shall be such number of shares as has
a Fair Market Value (determined as of the Offering Date for such Offering) equal to (x) $25,000
multiplied by the number of calendar years in which the Purchase Right under such Offering has been
outstanding at any time, minus (y) the Fair Market Value of any other shares of Common Stock
(determined as of the relevant Offering Date with respect to such



 2.









 




shares) that, for purposes of the limitation of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, are attributed
to any of such calendar years in which the Purchase Right is outstanding. The amount in clause (y)
of the previous sentence shall be determined in accordance with regulations applicable under
Section 423(b)(8) of the Code based on (i) the number of shares previously purchased with respect
to such calendar years pursuant to such Offering or any other Offering under the Plan, or pursuant
to any other Company or Related Corporation plans intended to qualify as Employee Stock Purchase
Plans, and (ii) the number of shares subject to other Purchase Rights outstanding on the Offering
Date for such Offering pursuant to the Plan or any other such Company or Related Corporation
Employee Stock Purchase Plan.




     (d) The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available to be purchased by all
Participants on a Purchase Date shall be the number of shares of Common Stock then remaining
available under the Plan. If the aggregate purchase of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of
Purchase Rights granted under the Offering would exceed the maximum aggregate number of shares
available, the Board shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available in a uniform and
equitable manner.



     (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that an
Eligible Employee may purchase during any Offering shall not exceed one thousand five hundred
(1,500) shares.



4. Purchase Price.




     The purchase price of shares of Common Stock under the Offering shall be the lesser of: (i)
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock on the Offering
Date, or (ii) eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value of such shares of Common Stock on
the Purchase Date. For the Initial Offering, the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock
at the time when the Offering commences shall be the price per share at which shares are first sold
to the public in the Company’s initial public offering as specified in the final prospectus for
that initial public offering.



5. Participation.




     (a) An Eligible Employee may elect to participate in an Offering on the Offering Date. An
Eligible Employee shall elect his or her payroll deduction percentage on such enrollment form as
the Company provides. The completed enrollment form must be delivered to the Company prior to the
date participation is to be effective, unless a later time for filing the enrollment form is set by
the Company for all Eligible Employees with respect to a given Offering. Payroll deduction
percentages must be expressed in whole percentages of Earnings, with a minimum percentage of one
percent (1%) and a maximum percentage of fifteen percent (15%). Except as provided in Section
5(e), a Participant may participate only by way of payroll deductions.



     (b) A Participant may not increase his or her participation level during an Offering. Subject
to Section 5(e), a Participant may decrease his or her participation level during an Offering,
provided that such decrease is to zero percent (0%). Any such decrease in participation level
shall be made by delivering a notice to the Company or a designated Related Corporation in



 3.









 




such form as the Company provides prior to the ten (10) day period (or such shorter period of
time as determined by the Company and communicated to Participants) immediately preceding the
payroll date for which it is to be effective.




     (c) A Participant may withdraw from an Offering and receive a refund of his or her
Contributions (reduced to the extent, if any, such Contributions have been used to acquire shares
of Common Stock for the Participant on any prior Purchase Date, if applicable) without interest, at
any time prior to the end of the Offering, excluding only each ten (10) day period immediately
preceding a Purchase Date (or such shorter period of time determined by the Company and
communicated to Participants), by delivering a withdrawal notice to the Company or a designated
Related Corporation in such form as the Company provides. A Participant who has withdrawn from an
Offering shall not again participate in such Offering, but may participate in subsequent Offerings
under the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the terms of such subsequent Offerings.



     (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Offering document or of the
Plan to the contrary, neither the enrollment of any Eligible Employee in the Plan nor any forms
relating to participation in the Plan shall be given effect until such time as a registration
statement covering the shares reserved under the Plan that are subject to the Offering has been
filed by the Company and has become effective.



     (e) If the provisions of Section 5(d) are applicable, the Company shall establish such
procedures as will enable the purposes of the Plan to be satisfied while complying with applicable
securities laws. Such procedures may include, for example, allowing Participants to participate
other than by means of payroll deduction and/or allowing Participants to decrease their level of
participation during an Offering to a level other than zero percent (0%).



     Except as otherwise provided by the Company pursuant to the preceding sentence, for the
Initial Offering ending March 31, 2007, no payroll deductions shall be required from the Eligible
Employee until such time as the Eligible Employee affirmatively elects to commence such payroll
deductions (which may be for a percentage that is less than fifteen percent (15%) of the Eligible
Employee’s Earnings) following the Eligible Employee’s receipt of the Securities Act prospectus for
the Plan. Each Eligible Employee shall automatically be enrolled in the Initial Offering with a
contribution rate equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the Eligible Employee’s Earnings, subject to
the limitations set forth in Sections 3(c)-(e). If an Eligible Employee elects not to authorize
payroll deductions for the purchase of shares during the Initial Offering, the Eligible Employee
instead may purchase shares of Common Stock under the Plan by delivering a single cash payment for
the purchase of such shares to the Company or a designated Related Corporation prior to the ten
(10) day period immediately preceding the Purchase Date under the Initial Offering (or such shorter
period of time determined by the Company and communicated to Participants). To the extent that the
Eligible Employee’s payroll deductions for the Initial Offering are less than fifteen percent (15%)
of Earnings paid to the Eligible Employee during the Initial Offering, the Eligible Employee may
make an additional cash payment at any time to the Company or a designated Related Corporation
prior to the ten (10) day period immediately preceding the Purchase Date under the Initial Offering
(or such shorter period of time determined by the Company and communicated to Participants) in
order to fund the purchase of shares of Common Stock purchased on behalf of the Eligible Employee
on the Purchase Date under the



 4.









 




Initial Offering. If an Eligible Employee neither elects to authorize payroll deductions nor
chooses to make a cash payment in accordance with the foregoing, then no shares shall be purchased
on behalf of the Eligible Employee on the Purchase Date under the Initial Offering.




     After the end of the Initial Offering, in order to participate in any subsequent Offerings, an
Eligible Employee must enroll and authorize payroll deductions prior to the commencement of the
Offering, in accordance with Section 5(a); provided, however, that once an Eligible Employee
enrolls in an Offering and authorizes payroll deductions (including in connection with the Initial
Offering), the Eligible Employee automatically shall be enrolled for all subsequent Offerings until
he or she elects to withdraw from an Offering pursuant to Section 5(c) above or terminates his or
her participation in the Plan.



6. Purchases.




     Subject to the limitations contained herein, on each Purchase Date, each Participant’s
Contributions (without any increase for interest) shall be applied to the purchase of whole shares,
up to the maximum number of shares permitted under the Plan and the Offering.



7. Notices and Agreements.




     Any notices or agreements provided for in an Offering or the Plan shall be given in writing,
in a form provided by the Company (including documents delivered in electronic form, if authorized
by the Committee), and unless specifically provided for in the Plan or this Offering, shall be
deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices and agreements delivered by the
Company, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid.



8. Exercise Contingent on Stockholder Approval.




     The Purchase Rights granted under an Offering are subject to the approval of the Plan by the
stockholders of the Company as required for the Plan to obtain treatment as an Employee Stock
Purchase Plan.



9. Offering Subject to Plan.




     Each Offering is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, and the provisions of the Plan are
hereby made a part of the Offering. The Offering is further subject to all interpretations,
amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant
to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of an Offering and those of the
Plan (including interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be
promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan), the provisions of the Plan shall control.
