Incentive Stock Option Agreement

Under The

AuthenTec, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan

     1. Terminology. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in the
correlating Stock Option Notice and/or the Glossary at the end of the Agreement or in the Plan.

     2. Exercise of Options.

          (a) Exercisability. The Options will become exercisable in accordance with the
Exercisability Schedule set forth in the Stock Option Notice, so long as you are in the Service of
the Company from the Grant Date through the applicable exercisability dates. None of the Options
will become exercisable after your Service with the Company ceases, unless the Stock Option Notice
provides otherwise with respect to exercisability that arises as a result of your cessation of
Service.

          (b) Right to Exercise. You may exercise the Options, to the extent exercisable, at
any time on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Expiration Date or the earlier termination of
the Options, unless otherwise provided under applicable law. Section 3 below describes certain
limitations on exercise of the Options that apply in the event of your death, Total and Permanent
Disability, or termination of Service. The Options may be exercised only in multiples of whole
Shares and may not be exercised at any one time as to fewer than one hundred Shares (or such lesser
number of Shares as to which the Options are then exercisable). No fractional Shares will be
issued under the Options.

          (c) Exercise Procedure. In order to exercise the Options, you must provide the
following items to the Secretary of the Company or his or her delegate before the expiration or
termination of the Options:

	 	(i)	 	notice, in such manner and form as the
Administrator may require from time to time, specifying the number of
Shares to be purchased under the Options; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	full payment of the Exercise Price for the
Shares or properly executed, irrevocable instructions, in such manner
and form as the Administrator may require from time to time, to
effectuate a broker-assisted cashless exercise, each in accordance
with Section 2(d) of this Agreement.

An exercise will not be effective until the Secretary of the Company or his or her delegate
receives all of the foregoing items, and such exercise otherwise is permitted under and complies
with all applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws.

          (d) Method of Payment. You may pay the Exercise Price by:

	 	(i)	 	delivery of cash, certified or cashier’s
check, money order or other cash equivalent acceptable to the
Administrator in its discretion;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	a broker-assisted cashless exercise in
accordance with Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System through a brokerage firm approved by the
Administrator;

-1-

 

	 	(iii)	 	subject to such limits as the
Administrator may impose from time to time, tender (via actual
delivery or attestation) to the Company of other shares of Common
Stock of the Company which have a Fair Market Value on the date of
tender equal to the Exercise Price, provided that
tender of such shares will not result in the Company having to record
a charge to earnings under United States generally accepted
accounting principles then applicable to the Company;
	 
	 	(iv)	 	any other method approved by the
Administrator; or
	 
	 	(v)	 	any combination of the foregoing.

          (e) Issuance of Shares upon Exercise. As soon as practicable after exercise of the
Options, the Company will deliver a share certificate to you, or deliver Shares electronically or
in certificate form to your designated broker on your behalf, for the Shares issued upon exercise.
Any share certificates delivered will, unless the Shares are registered or an exemption from
registration is available under applicable federal and state law, bear a legend restricting
transferability of such Shares.

     3. Termination of Service.

          (a) Termination of Unexercisable Options. If your Service with the Company ceases for
any reason, the Options that are then unexercisable will terminate immediately upon such cessation.

          (b) Exercise Period Following Termination of Service. If your Service with the
Company ceases for any reason other than discharge for Cause, the Options that are then exercisable
will terminate upon the earliest of:

     (i) the expiration of 90 days following such cessation, if your Service ceases
on account of (1) your termination by the Company other than a discharge for Cause,
or (2) your voluntary termination other than for Total and Permanent Disability or
death;

     (ii) the expiration of 12 months following such cessation, if your Service
ceases on account of your Total and Permanent Disability or death;

     (iii) the expiration of 12 months following your death, if your death occurs
during the periods described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 3(b), as
applicable; or

     (iv) the Expiration Date.

In the event of your death, the exercisable Options may be exercised by your executor, personal
representative, or the person(s) to whom the Options are transferred by will or the laws of descent
and distribution.

          (c) Misconduct. The Options will terminate in their entirety, regardless of whether
the Options are then exercisable, immediately upon your discharge from Service for Cause, or upon
your commission of any of the following acts during the exercise period following your termination
of Service: (i) fraud on or misappropriation of any funds or property of the Company, or (ii) your
breach of any provision of any employment, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation,
assignment of inventions, or other similar agreement executed by you for the benefit of the
Company, as determined by the Administrator, which determination will be conclusive.

-2-

 

          (d) Changes in Status. If you cease to be a “common law employee” of the Company but
you continue to provide bona fide services to the Company following such cessation in a different
capacity, including without limitation as a director, consultant or independent contractor, then a
termination of Service shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 3 upon
such change in capacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Options shall not be treated as
incentive stock options within the meaning of Code section 422 with respect to any exercise that
occurs more than three months after such cessation of the common law employee relationship (except
as otherwise permitted under Code section 421 or 422). In the event that your Service is with a
business, trade or entity that, after the Grant Date, ceases for any reason to be part or an
Affiliate of the Company, your Service will be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this
Section 3 upon such cessation if your Service does not continue uninterrupted immediately
thereafter with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

     4. Market Stand-Off Agreement. You agree that following the effective date of a
registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act of 1933, you, for the duration
specified by and to the extent requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company, shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of,
directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, enter into a transaction which would have the same
effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any
of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such aforementioned
transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities or other securities, in cash or
otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition,
or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, in each case during the
seven days prior to and the 180 days after the effectiveness of any underwritten offering of the
Company’s equity securities (or such longer or shorter period as may be requested in writing by the
managing underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the “Market Stand-Off Period”),
except as part of such underwritten registration if otherwise permitted. In addition, you agree to
execute any further letters, agreements and/or other documents requested by the Company or its
underwriters that are consistent with the terms of this Section 4. The Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until
the end of such Market Stand-Off Period.

     5. Nontransferability of Options. These Options are nontransferable otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and during your lifetime, the Options may be exercised
only by you or, during the period you are under a legal disability, by your guardian or legal
representative. Except as provided above, the Options may not be assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be
subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

     6. Qualified Nature of the Options.

          (a) General Status. The Options are intended to qualify as incentive stock option
within the meaning of Code section 422 (“Incentive Stock Option”), to the fullest extent permitted
by Code section 422, and this Agreement shall be so construed. The Company, however, does not
warrant any particular tax consequences of the Options. Code section 422 provides limitations, not
set forth in this Agreement, respecting the treatment of the Options as Incentive Stock Options.
You should consult with your personal tax advisors in this regard.

          (b) Code Section 422(d) Limitation. Pursuant to Code section 422(d), the aggregate
fair market value (determined as of the Grant Date) of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
all Incentive Stock Options first become exercisable by you in any calendar year under the Plan or
any other plan of the Company (and its parent and subsidiary corporations, within the meaning of
Code section 424(e) and (f), as may exist from time to time) may not exceed $100,000 or such other
amount as may be permitted from time to time under Code section 422. To the extent that such
aggregate fair market value exceeds $100,000 or other

-3-

 

applicable amount in any calendar year, such stock options will be treated as nonstatutory
stock options with respect to the amount of aggregate fair market value thereof that exceeds the
Code section 422(d) limit. For this purpose, the Incentive Stock Options will be taken into
account in the order in which they were granted. In such case, the Company may designate the
shares of Common Stock that are to be treated as stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of
Incentive Stock Options and the shares of Common Stock that are to be treated as stock acquired
pursuant to nonstatutory stock options by issuing separate certificates for such shares and
identifying the certificates as such in the stock transfer records of the Company.

          (c) Significant Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Stock
Option Notice to the contrary, if you own, directly or indirectly through attribution, stock
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company
or of any of its subsidiaries (within the meaning of Code section 424(f)) on the Grant Date, then
the Exercise Price is the greater of (a) the Exercise Price stated on the Stock Option Notice or
(b) 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the Grant Date, and the Expiration Date is
the last business day prior to the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date.

     7. Withholding of Taxes. At the time the Options are exercised, in whole or in part,
or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from
payroll or any other payment of any kind due to you and otherwise agree to make adequate provision
for foreign, federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld, if any, which arise in
connection with the Options (including upon a disqualifying disposition within the meaning of Code
section 421(b)). The Company may require you to make a cash payment to cover any withholding tax
obligation as a condition of exercise of the Options or issuance of share certificates representing
Shares.

     The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit you to satisfy, in whole or in part, any
withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the Options either by electing to
have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise that number of Shares, or by
electing to deliver to the Company already-owned shares, in either case having a Fair Market Value
not in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy the statutory minimum withholding amount due.

     8. Adjustments. The Administrator may make various adjustments to your Options,
including adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to the Options and the Exercise
Price, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In the event of any transaction resulting in a
Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company, the outstanding Options will terminate
upon the effective time of such Change in Control unless provision is made in connection with the
transaction for the continuation or assumption of such Options by, or for the substitution of the
equivalent awards of, the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof. In the event of such
termination, you will be permitted, immediately before the Change in Control, to exercise or
convert all portions of such Options that are then exercisable or which become exercisable upon or
prior to the effective time of the Change in Control.

     9. Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service Relationship. Nothing in the Plan or this
Agreement will alter your at-will or other employment status or other service relationship with the
Company, nor be construed as a contract of employment or service relationship between you and the
Company, or as a contractual right for you to continue in the employ of, or in a service
relationship with, the Company for any period of time, or as a limitation of the right of the
Company to discharge you at any time with or without Cause or notice and whether or not such
discharge results in the failure of any of the Options to become exercisable or any other adverse
effect on your interests under the Plan.

     10. No Rights as a Stockholder. You shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder
with respect to the Shares until such Shares have been issued to you upon the due exercise of
the Options. No adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for
which the record date is prior to the date such Shares are issued.

-4-

 

     11. The Company’s Rights. The existence of the Options shall not affect in any way
the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its
business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures,
preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the
Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale
or transfer of all or any part of the Company’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the correlating Stock Option
Notice and the Plan, contain the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the
Option. Any oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other
communications made prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Options shall be
void and ineffective for all purposes.

     13. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Administrator
in its discretion; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be modified in a
manner that would have a materially adverse effect on the Options or Shares as determined in the
discretion of the Administrator, except as provided in the Plan or in a written document signed by
you and the Company.

     14. Conformity with Plan. This Agreement is intended to conform in all respects with,
and is subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan. Any conflict between the terms of this
Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In the event of
any ambiguity in this Agreement or any matters as to which this Agreement is silent, the Plan shall
govern. A copy of the Plan is available upon request to the Administrator.

GLOSSARY

     (a) “Affiliate” means any entity, whether now or hereafter existing, which controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, AuthenTec, Inc. For this purpose, “control” means
ownership of 50% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock or
interests of the entity.

     (b) “Cause” has the meaning ascribed to such term or words of similar import in your written
employment or service contract with the Company as in effect at the time at issue and, in the
absence of such agreement or definition, means your (i) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere
to, a felony or crime involving moral turpitude; (ii) fraud on or misappropriation of any funds or
property of the Company, any affiliate, customer or vendor; (iii) personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than
minor traffic violations or similar offenses) or breach of fiduciary duty which involves personal
profit; (iv) willful misconduct in connection with your duties or willful failure to perform your
responsibilities in the best interests of the Company; (v) illegal use or distribution of drugs;
(vi) violation of any Company rule, regulation, procedure or policy; or (vii) breach of any
provision of any employment, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation or other similar
agreement executed by you for the benefit of the Company, all as determined by the Administrator,
which determination will be conclusive.

     (c) “Company” includes AuthenTec, Inc. and its Affiliates, except where the context otherwise
requires. For purposes of determining whether a Change in Control has occurred, Company shall mean
only AuthenTec, Inc.

     (d) “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock generally means either the closing price or
the average of the high and low sale price per share of Common Stock on the relevant date, as
determined in the Administrator’s discretion, as reported by the principal market or exchange upon
which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trade. Refer to the Plan for a detailed
definition of Fair Market Value, including how Fair Market Value is determined in the event that no
sale of Common Stock is reported on the relevant date.

     (e) “Service” means your employment or other service relationship with the Company.

     (f) “Shares” mean the shares of Common Stock underlying the Options.

     (g) “Stock Option Notice” means the written notice evidencing the award of the Options that
correlates with and makes up a part of this Agreement.

     (h) “Total and Permanent Disability” means the inability to engage in any substantial gainful
activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be
expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period
of not less than twelve months. The Administrator may require such proof of Total and Permanent
Disability as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems appropriate and the Administrator’s
good faith determination as to whether you are totally and permanently disabled will be final and
binding on all parties concerned.

     (i) “You”; “Your”. “You” or “your” means the recipient of the award of Options as reflected
on the Stock Option Notice. Whenever the Agreement refers to “you” under circumstances where the
provision should logically be construed, as determined by the Administrator, to apply to your
estate, personal representative, or beneficiary to whom the Options may be transferred by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution, the word “you” shall be deemed to include such person.

ceases on account of your Total and Permanent Disability or death;

     (iii) the expiration of 12 months following your death, if your death occurs
during the periods described in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 3(b), as
applicable; or

     (iv) the Expiration Date.

In the event of your death, the exercisable Options may be exercised by your executor, personal
representative, or the person(s) to whom the Options are transferred by will or the laws of descent
and distribution.

          (c) Misconduct. The Options will terminate in their entirety, regardless of whether
the Options are then exercisable, immediately upon your discharge from Service for Cause, or upon
your commission of any of the following acts during the exercise period following your termination
of Service: (i) fraud on or misappropriation of any funds or property of the Company, or (ii) your
breach of any provision of any employment, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation,
assignment of inventions, or other similar agreement executed by you for the benefit of the
Company, as determined by the Administrator, which determination will be conclusive.

          (d) Change in Status. In the event that your Service is with a business, trade or
entity that, after the Grant Date, ceases for any reason to be part or an Affiliate of the Company,
your Service will be deemed to have terminated for purposes of this Section 3 upon such cessation
if your Service does not continue uninterrupted immediately thereafter with the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company.

     4. Market Stand-Off Agreement. You agree that following the effective date of a
registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act of 1933, you, for the duration
specified by and to the extent requested by the Company and an underwriter of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company, shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of,
directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, enter into a transaction which would have the same
effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any
of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such aforementioned
transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities or other securities, in cash or
otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition,
or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, in each case during the
seven days prior to and the 180 days after the effectiveness of any underwritten offering of the
Company’s equity securities (or such longer or shorter period as may be requested in writing by the
managing underwriter and agreed to in writing by the Company) (the “Market Stand-Off Period”),
except as part of such underwritten registration if otherwise permitted. In addition, you agree to
execute any further letters, agreements and/or other documents requested by the Company or its
underwriters that are consistent with the terms of this Section 4. The Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to securities subject to the foregoing restrictions until
the end of such Market Stand-Off Period.

     5. Nontransferability of Options. These Options are nontransferable otherwise than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution and during your lifetime, the Options may be exercised
only by you or, during the period you are under a legal disability, by your guardian or legal
representative. Except as provided above, the Options may not be assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be
subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

     6. Nonqualified Nature of the Options. The Options are not intended to
qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Code section 422, and this Agreement shall
be so construed. You hereby acknowledge that, upon exercise of the Options, you will recognize
compensation income in an amount equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of the Shares
over the Exercise Price and must comply with the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement with
respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise as a result of such exercise.

     7. Withholding of Taxes. At the time the Options are exercised, in whole or in part,
or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from
payroll or any other payment of any kind due to you and otherwise agree to make adequate provision
for foreign, federal, state and local taxes required by law to be withheld, if any, which arise in
connection with the Options. The Company may require you to make a cash payment to cover any
withholding tax obligation as a condition of exercise of the Options or issuance of share
certificates representing Shares.

     The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit you to satisfy, in whole or in part, any
withholding tax obligation which may arise in connection with the Options either by electing to
have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise that number of Shares, or by
electing to deliver to the Company already-owned shares, in either case having a Fair Market Value
not in excess of the amount necessary to satisfy the statutory minimum withholding amount due.

     8. Adjustments. The Administrator may make various adjustments to your Options,
including adjustments to the number and type of securities subject to the Options and the Exercise
Price, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In the event of any transaction resulting in a
Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) of the Company, the outstanding Options will terminate
upon the effective time of such Change in Control unless provision is made in connection with the
transaction for the continuation or assumption of such Options by, or for the substitution of the
equivalent awards of, the surviving or successor entity or a parent thereof. In the event of such
termination, you will be permitted, immediately before the Change in Control, to exercise or
convert all portions of such Options that are then exercisable or which become exercisable upon or
prior to the effective time of the Change in Control.

     9. Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service Relationship. Nothing in the Plan or this
Agreement will alter your at-will or other employment status or other service relationship with the
Company, nor be construed as a contract of employment or service relationship between you and the
Company, or as a contractual right for you to continue in the employ of, or in a service
relationship with, the Company for any period of time, or as a limitation of the right of the
Company to discharge you at any time with or without Cause or notice and whether or not such
discharge results in the failure of any of the Options to become exercisable or any other adverse
effect on your interests under the Plan.

     10. No Rights as a Stockholder. You shall not have any of the rights of a stockholder
with respect to the Shares until such Shares have been issued to you upon the due exercise of the
Options. No adjustment will be made for dividends or distributions or other rights for which the
record date is prior to the date such Shares are issued.

     11. The Company’s Rights. The existence of the Options shall not affect in any way
the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments,
recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the Company’s capital structure or its
business, or any merger or consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures,
preferred or other stocks with preference ahead of or convertible into, or otherwise affecting the
Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale
or transfer of all or any part of the Company’s assets or business, or any other corporate act or
proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

     12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the correlating Stock Option
Notice and the Plan, contain the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the
Option. Any oral or written agreements, representations, warranties, written inducements, or other
communications made prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to the Options shall be
void and ineffective for all purposes.

     13. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Administrator
in its discretion; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be modified in a
manner that would have a materially adverse effect on the Options or Shares as determined in the
discretion of the Administrator, except as provided in the Plan or in a written document signed by
you and the Company.

     14. Conformity with Plan. This Agreement is intended to conform in all respects with,
and is subject to all applicable provisions of, the Plan. Any conflict between the terms of this
Agreement and the Plan shall be resolved in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In the event of
any ambiguity in this Agreement or any matters as to which this Agreement is silent, the Plan shall
govern. A copy of the Plan is available upon request to the Administrator.

GLOSSARY

     (a) “Affiliate” means any entity, whether now or hereafter existing, which controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, AuthenTec, Inc. For this purpose, “control” means
ownership of 50% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock or
interests of the entity.

     (b) “Cause” has the meaning ascribed to such term or words of similar import in your written
employment or service contract with the Company as in effect at the time at issue and, in the
absence of such agreement or definition, means your (i) conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere
to, a felony or crime involving moral turpitude; (ii) fraud on or misappropriation of any funds or
property of the Company, any affiliate, customer or vendor; (iii) personal dishonesty,
incompetence, willful misconduct, willful violation of any law, rule or regulation (other than
minor traffic violations or similar offenses) or breach of fiduciary duty which involves personal
profit; (iv) willful misconduct in connection with your duties or willful failure to perform your
responsibilities in the best interests of the Company; (v) illegal use or distribution of drugs;
(vi) violation of any Company rule, regulation, procedure or policy; or (vii) breach of any
provision of any employment, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation or other similar
agreement executed by you for the benefit of the Company, all as determined by the Administrator,
which determination will be conclusive.

     (c) “Company” includes AuthenTec, Inc. and its Affiliates, except where the context otherwise
requires. For purposes of determining whether a Change in Control has occurred, Company shall mean
only AuthenTec, Inc.

     (d) “Fair Market Value” of a share of Common Stock generally means either the closing price or
the average of the high and low sale price per share of Common Stock on the relevant date, as
determined in the Administrator’s discretion, as reported by the principal market or exchange upon
which the Common Stock is listed or admitted for trade. Refer to the Plan for a detailed
definition of Fair Market Value, including how Fair Market Value is determined in the event that no
sale of Common Stock is reported on the relevant date.

     (e) “Service” means your employment or other service relationship with the Company.

     (f) “Shares” mean the shares of Common Stock underlying the Options.

     (g) “Stock Option Notice” means the written notice evidencing the award of the Options that
correlates with and makes up a part of this Agreement.

     (h) “Total and Permanent Disability” means the inability to engage in any substantial gainful
activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be
expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period
of not less than twelve months. The Administrator may require such proof of Total and Permanent
Disability as the Administrator in its sole discretion deems appropriate and the Administrator’s
good faith determination as to whether you are totally and permanently disabled will be final and
binding on all parties concerned.

     (i) “You”; “Your”. “You” or “your” means the recipient of the award of Options as reflected
on the Stock Option Notice. Whenever the Agreement refers to “you” under circumstances where the
provision should logically be construed, as determined by the Administrator, to apply to your
estate, personal representative, or beneficiary to whom the Options may be transferred by will or
by the laws of descent and distribution, the word “you” shall be deemed to include such person.
