5

---



Options
at such times and on such terms as it may determine in its sole discretion, subject however, to the applicable provisions of Section 7.

7.     OPTION PROVISIONS.

Each
Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate and as required by the Plan. Each Option shall include (through
incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(a)   Term.Options granted automatically under Section 6(a) shall expire ten (10) years after the date of grant. Options granted at
the
discretion of the Board under Section 6(b) shall not expire more than ten (10) years after the date of grant as specified by the Board in its discretion.

(b)   Exercise Price.The exercise price of each Option shall be equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted.

(c)   Consideration.The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable
statutes
and regulations, in any combination of (i) in cash or check at the time the Option is exercised, (ii) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock, (iii) pursuant to a program
developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the
receipt of irrevocable instruction to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds, (iv) in the discretion of the Board, (1) according to a deferred payment or
other similar arrangement with the Optionholder or (2) by a "net exercise" of the Option (as further described below) or (v) in any other form of legal consideration that may be
acceptable to the Board. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common
Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or
shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes). At any time that the Company is incorporated in Delaware, payment of the Common Stock's "par value,"
as defined in the Delaware General Corporation Law, shall not be made by deferred payment.

In
the case of any deferred payment arrangement, interest shall be compounded at least annually and shall be charged at the minimum rate of interest necessary to avoid (1) the
treatment as interest, under any applicable provisions of the Code, of any amounts other than amounts stated to be interest under the deferred payment arrangement and (2) the treatment of the
Option as a variable award for financial accounting purposes.

In
the case of a "net exercise" of an Option, the Company will not require a payment of the exercise price of the Option from the Participant but will reduce the number of shares of
Common Stock issued upon the exercise by the largest number of whole shares that has a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price. With respect to any remaining balance of the
aggregate exercise price, the Company shall accept a cash payment from the Participant. The shares of Common Stock so used to pay the exercise price of an Option under a "net exercise" will be
considered to have resulted from the exercise of the Option, and accordingly, the Option will not again be exercisable with respect to such shares, the shares actually delivered to the Participant,
and any shares withheld for purposes of tax withholding.

(d)   Transferability of an Option.An Option shall be transferable to the extent provided in the Option Agreement. If the Option does not
provide for
transferability, then the Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable during the

6

---



lifetime
of the Optionholder only by the Optionholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company,
designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

(e)   Vesting Generally.Options granted pursuant to Section 6(a) shall become exercisable in full on the first anniversary following the
date
of grant;provided, however,that an Option granted pursuant to Section 6(a) to an Eligible Director who is first appointed by the Board (rather
than elected by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders) will become exercisable in full on the first business day immediately following the later of the Company's annual meeting of
stockholders next following the date of grant or six months following the date of grant. For Options granted pursuant to Section 6(b), (1) the total number of shares of Common Stock
subject to an Option may, but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need not, be equal as determined by the Board, and (2) the Option may be
subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions
of individual Options granted pursuant to Section 6(b) may vary. The Board may accelerate vesting of any Option granted pursuant to Section 6(b), but not those granted pursuant to
Section 6(a), whose vesting will be governed by the Plan.

(f)    Termination of Continuous Service.In the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the
Optionholder's removal
for cause), the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination or with respect to such greater
number of shares as determined by the Board) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) years following the termination of the Optionholder's
Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement) or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after
termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate. In the event that an Optionholder's Continuous Service
terminates upon his or her removal for cause, all Options held by that Optionholder shall immediately terminate.

(g)   Extension of Termination Date.An Optionholder's Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the
termination
of the Optionholder's Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder's removal for cause) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the
registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Section 7(a) or
(ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) years after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of
such registration requirements.

(h)   Death of Optionholder.In the event that (i) an Optionholder's Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder's death
or
(ii) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder's Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then the
Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder's estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the
Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated by the Optionholder to exercise the option upon the Optionholder's death. If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time
specified in Section 7(f), the Option shall terminate.

(i)    Early Exercise.The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time before the
Optionholder's
Continuous Service terminates to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of

7

---



the
Option. Any unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate. The
Company will not exercise its repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes)
have elapsed following exercise of the Option unless the Board otherwise specifically provides in the Option.

8.     COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

(a)   Availability of Shares.During the term of any Options, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common
Stock
required to satisfy such Options.

(b)   Securities Law Compliance.The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan
such
authority as may be required to grant Options and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Options;provided, however,that this
undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Option or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Option. If, after reasonable efforts,
the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the
Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Options unless and until such authority is obtained.

9.     USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.

Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Option shall constitute general funds of the Company.

10.   MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)   Stockholder Rights.No Optionholder shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any
shares
subject to such Option unless and until such Optionholder has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Option pursuant to its terms.

(b)   No Service Rights.Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Option granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Optionholder
any right
to continue to serve the Company as a Non-Employee Director or on any committee of the Board or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment
of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant's agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or
(iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is
incorporated, as the case may be.

(c)   Investment Assurances.The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Option,
(i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant's knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative
reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser
representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Option; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to
the Option for the Participant's own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to
such requirements, shall be inoperative if (1) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Option has been registered under a then
currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be

met
in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel
deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.

(d)   Withholding Obligations.The Optionholder may satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or
acquisition of stock under an Option by any of the following means (in addition to the Company's right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Optionholder by the Company) or by a combination of
such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold shares from the shares of the Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Optionholder as a result of the
exercise or acquisition of stock under the Option, provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or
(iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of the Common Stock.

11.   ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.

(a)   Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in, or other event occurs with respect to, the Common Stock subject to the Plan or
subject to
any Option without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash,
stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company (each a
"Capitalization Adjustment"), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Sections 4(a) and 4(b), and the outstanding
Options will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Options. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its
determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction "without receipt of consideration" by the
Company.)

(b)   Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Options shall terminate
immediately
prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and shares of Common Stock subject to the Company's repurchase option may be repurchased by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the
holder of such stock is still in Continuous Service.

(c)   Corporate Transaction. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue
any or
all Options outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock awards for Options outstanding under the Plan (it being understood that similar stock awards include, but are not limited to,
awards to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders or the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to the Corporate Transaction), and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the
Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant to Options may be assigned by the Company to the successor of the Company (or the successor's parent company), if any, in connection with such
Corporate Transaction. In the event that any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not assume or continue any or all such outstanding Options or substitute similar stock awards for such
outstanding Options, then with respect to Options that have been not assumed, continued or substituted and that are held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the
effective time of the Corporate Transaction, the vesting of such Options (and, if applicable, the time at which such Options may be exercised) shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate
Transaction) be accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board shall determine (or, if the Board shall not determine such a date, to the date that
is five (5) days prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction), the Options shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such effective time, and any

9

---



reacquisition
or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to such Options held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the
Corporate Transaction) lapse. With respect to any other Options outstanding under the Plan that have not been assumed, continued or substituted, the vesting of such Options (and, if applicable, the
time at which such Options may be exercised) shall not be accelerated, unless otherwise provided in a written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the holder of such Option, and such
Option shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction.

(d)   Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs and an Optionholder's Continuous Service with the Company has not terminated immediately
prior
to the effective time of the Change in Control, then, immediately prior to the effective time of such Change in Control (and contingent upon the effectiveness of the Change in Control), the vesting
and exercisability of an Optionholder's Options shall be accelerated in full. In the event that an Optionholder is required to resign his or her position as a Non-Employee Director as a
condition of a Change in Control, the outstanding Options of such Optionholder shall become fully vested and exercisable immediately prior to the effectiveness of such resignation (and contingent upon
the effectiveness of the Change in Control).

12.   AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN AND OPTIONS.

(a)   Amendment of Plan.The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 11(a)

to Capitalization Adjustments, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of
applicable laws and listing requirements applicable to the Company.

(b)   Stockholder Approval.The Board, in its sole discretion, may submit any other amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval.

unless
(i) the Company requests the consent of the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing.

(d)   Amendment of Options.The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Options; provided, however,that the rights under any Option shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of
the Participant and (ii) the Participant consents in writing; andprovided further, however,that no previously granted Option may be repriced,
replaced or regranted through cancellation, or by lowering the exercise price of a previously granted Option without the prior approval of the Company's stockholders.

(a)   Plan Term.The Plan has no set termination date; however, the Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Options may be
granted
under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.
