2.             Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

 

(a)           Award.  Pursuant to
the Plan, Participant is hereby awarded (the “Award”) restricted stock
units, subject to the conditions of the Plan and this Agreement (the “Restricted
Stock Units”).  Each Restricted Stock

(a)           Determination of Earned Restricted Stock
Units.  Subject to Section 4 below and Section 7.1
of the Plan, upon expiration of the Performance Period, Participant shall vest
in a number of Restricted Stock Units equal to the product of the number of
Target Restricted Stock Units multiplied by the percentage corresponding to the
Corporation’s TSR Percentile during the

 

2

 

Performance Period in accordance with the following
table (such units, the “Earned Restricted Stock Units”):

 

	
  Corporation’s
  TSR Percentile

  	
   

  	
  % of Target Restricted

  Stock Units

  	
   

  
	
  25th TSR
  Percentile and Below:

  	
   

  	
  0%

  	
   

  
	
  37.5th TSR
  Percentile:

  	
   

  	
  50%

  	
   

  
	
  50th TSR
  Percentile:

  	
   

  	
  100%

  	
   

  
	
  60th TSR
  Percentile:

  	
   

  	
  140%

  	
   

  
	
  70th TSR
  Percentile:

  	
   

  	
  180%

  	
   

  
	
  75th TSR
  Percentile:

  	
   

  	
  200%

  	
   

  
	
  90th TSR and Above:

  	
   

  	
  225%

  	
   

  

 

If the
Corporation’s TSR Percentile during the Performance Period is between two of
the TSR Percentiles in the above table, the corresponding percentage of Target
Restricted Stock Units shall be calculated using linear interpolation (e.g.,
65th TSR Percentile would result in a percentage of Target Restricted Stock
Units of 160%).  Except as set forth in Section 4
below, any Target Restricted Stock Units that do not become Earned Restricted
Stock Units shall be forfeited and cancelled upon expiration of the Performance
Period.  The Administrator will provide
Participant with written notice of the number of Earned Restricted Stock Units
promptly following the end of the Performance Period.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject
to Section 4 below, Participant shall vest in the Earned Restricted Stock
Units only if Participant remains employed by or provides services to the
Corporation from the Date of Grant through the last day of the Performance
Period.  If Participant ceases to be
employed by or ceases to provide services to the Corporation at any time prior
to the last day of the Performance Period, then, except as provided in Section 4
below, all Target Restricted Stock Units shall be canceled immediately on the
Severance Date and Participant shall cease to have any right or entitlement to
receive any shares of Common Stock under such canceled Restricted Stock Units.

 

4.             Accelerated Vesting of Restricted Stock
Units and Restricted Shares.

 

(a)           Accelerated Vesting upon a Change in
Control.  Notwithstanding Section 3(b) above,
if the Corporation undergoes a Change in Control Event prior to the last day of
the Performance Period, then at the date of the Change in Control Event,
Participant shall vest in a number of Earned Restricted Stock Units calculated
as follows:

 

(i)            If the Change in Control Event occurs on
or prior to the six-month anniversary of the Date of Grant, the number of
Earned Restricted Stock Units shall equal the number of Target Restricted Stock
Units and shall not be adjusted based on the Corporation’s TSR Percentile.

 

(ii)           If the Change in Control Event occurs
after the six-month anniversary of the Date of Grant, the number of Earned
Restricted Stock Units will be calculated in the manner set forth in Section 3(a) above
except that (i) the Corporation’s TSR shall be calculated based on the
price per share of Common Stock paid to the Corporation’s holders of Common
Stock in the

 

3

 

Change in Control Event and (ii) for purposes of
calculating the TSR Percentile, the Performance Period shall be deemed to have
ended on the effective date of the Change in Control Event.

 

(b)           Accelerated Vesting upon Participant’s
Death or Total Disability.  Notwithstanding Section 3(b) above,
if Participant’s employment with or provision of services to the Corporation is
terminated prior to the last day of the Performance Period as a result of
Participant’s death or Total Disability, then at the Severance Date,
Participant shall vest in a number of Earned Restricted Stock Units calculated
in the manner set forth in Section 3(a) above except that (i) the
number of Target Restricted Stock Units will be pro-rated based on the number
of days that Participant was employed or provided services to the Corporation
between the Date of Grant and the Severance Date as a percentage of the number
of days in the Performance Period, and (ii) for purposes of calculating
the TSR Percentile, the Performance Period shall be deemed to have ended on the
Severance Date.

 

(c)           Accelerated Vesting upon Participant’s
Retirement.  Notwithstanding Section 3(b) above,
if Participant’s employment with or provision of services to the Corporation is
terminated prior to the last day of the Performance Period as a result of
Participant’s Retirement, then the Restricted Stock Units shall not be
forfeited and Participant shall continue to hold the Award through the end of
the Performance Period.  At the
expiration of the Performance Period, Participant shall vest in a number of
Earned Restricted Stock Units calculated in the manner set forth in Section 3(a) above
except that the number of Earned Restricted Stock Units will be pro-rated based
on the number of days that Participant was employed or provided services to the
Corporation between the Date of Grant and the Severance Date as a percentage of
the number of days in the Performance Period.

 

5.             Limits on Transferability. 
Restricted Stock Units shall not be transferable except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a beneficiary designation, or
as otherwise permitted by Section 5.7 of the Plan.  No right or benefit hereunder shall in any
manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts
of Participant.  Participant agrees that
the Restricted Stock Units will not be sold or otherwise disposed of in any
manner that would constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state
securities laws.  Any purported
assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or other encumbrance
of shares of unvested Restricted Stock Units that does not satisfy the
requirements of this Agreement and the Plan shall, prior to the Vesting Date
(as defined below), be void and unenforceable against the Corporation.

 

6.             Issuance and Certificates.

 

(a)           Unless the Restricted Stock Units are
forfeited prior to the expiration of the Performance Period as provided in Section 3
above, the shares of Common Stock issuable upon vesting of the Restricted Stock
Units shall be deemed issued as of the last day of the Performance Period, or
if the Award vests earlier under Section 4 above, as of the date of such
vesting (the last day of the Performance Period or the earlier vesting date, as
applicable, the “Vesting Date”). 
As soon as administratively practicable following the Vesting Date, but
no later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of
the taxable year in which the Vesting Date falls, the Corporation shall cause (i) a
stock certificate or certificates (which may be in electronic form) to be
delivered to or on behalf of Participant for such number of shares of

 

4

 

Common Stock equal to the number of Earned Restricted
Stock Units, subject to the Corporation’s collection of applicable withholding
taxes in accordance with Section 8 below.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement, the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock may be
postponed for such period as may be required to comply with any requirements
under any law or regulation applicable to the issuance or delivery of such
shares, but in no event shall such shares of Common Stock be delivered any
later than the 15th day of the third month following the end of
the taxable year in which the Vesting Date falls.  The Corporation shall not be obligated to
issue or deliver any shares of Common Stock if the issuance or delivery thereof
shall constitute a violation of any provision of any law or of any regulation
of any governmental authority or any national securities exchange.

 

7.             Stockholder Rights. 
The Participant shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting
or dividend rights, with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the
Restricted Stock Units until such shares are issued on the Vesting Date.

 

8.             Withholding.  In order to
comply with all applicable federal or state income tax laws or regulations, the
Corporation may take such action as it deems appropriate to ensure that all
applicable federal or state payroll, withholding, income or other taxes, which
are the sole and absolute responsibility of Participant, are withheld or
collected from Participant.  In
accordance with the terms of the Plan, and such rules as may be adopted by
the Administrator under the Plan, to satisfy Participant’s federal and state tax
withholding obligations arising from the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units,
the Corporation will withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise to be delivered
to Participant having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such taxes.  The Corporation will not deliver any fractional shares
of Common Stock.  Any additional withholding amounts owed by Participant
due to the inability to deliver fractional shares will be deducted from such
Participant’s next paycheck.

 

9.             Tax Consideration.  The Corporation
has advised Participant to seek Participant’s own tax and financial advice with
regard to the federal and state tax considerations resulting from Participant’s
receipt of Restricted Stock Units pursuant to this Agreement.  Participant understands that the Corporation
will report to appropriate taxing authorities the payment to Participant of
compensation income upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units.  Participant understands that he or she is
solely responsible for the payment of all federal and state taxes resulting
from this grant of Restricted Stock Units. 
With respect to tax withholding amounts, the Corporation has all of the
rights specified in Section 8 of this Agreement and has no obligations to
Participant except as expressly stated in Section 8 of this Agreement.

 

10.           Binding Effect.  This
Agreement shall bind Participant and the Corporation and their beneficiaries,
survivors, executors, administrators and transferees.

 

11.           No Guarantee of Continued Position. 
This Agreement is not a contract for employment and nothing herein shall
supersede or amend the terms of any employment agreement between the
Corporation and Participant or imply that Participant has a right to continued
employment with the Corporation.

 

5

 

12.           Applicable Law.  This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles
thereunder.

 

13.           Conflicts and Interpretation. 
In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, this
Agreement shall control.  In the event of
any ambiguity in this Agreement, or any matters as to which this Agreement is
silent, the Plan shall govern including, without limitation, the provisions
thereof pursuant to which the Administrator has the power, among others, to (i) interpret
the Plan, (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations
relating to the Plan and (iii) make all other determinations deemed
necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

 

14.           Amendment.  The
Corporation may modify, amend or waive the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit
award, prospectively or retroactively, but no such modification, amendment or
waiver shall impair the rights of Participant without his or her consent,
except as required by applicable law, NASDAQ or stock exchange rules, tax rules or
accounting rules.  Prior to the
effectiveness of any modification, amendment or waiver required by tax or
accounting rules, the Corporation will provide notice to Participant and the
opportunity for Participant to consult with the Corporation regarding such
modification, amendment or waiver.  The
waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall
not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this
Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party of a provision of this
Agreement.

 

15.           Compliance with Code section 409A. 
The Restricted Stock Units granted under this Agreement are intended to
fit within the “short-term deferral” exemption from section 409A of the
Internal Revenue Code.  In administering
this Agreement, the Corporation shall interpret this Agreement in a manner
consistent with such exemption.

otherwise indicated by the context, the singular includes the plural and vice
versa.  Any reference to a statute is
also a reference to the applicable rules and regulations adopted under
that statute.  Any reference to a
statute, rule or regulation, or to a section of a statute, rule or
regulation, is a reference to that statute, rule, regulation, or section as
amended from time to time, both before and after the effective date of this
Plan and including any successor provisions.

 

3.             Shares
Subject to this Plan; Term of this Plan

 

3.1          Number of Award Shares.  The Shares
issuable under this Plan
shall be authorized but unissued or reacquired Shares, including but not
limited to Shares  repurchased by the Company on
the open market.  Subject to adjustment
under Section 10, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued under
this Plan is 9,250,000.  When an Award is granted, the maximum number
of Shares that may be issued under this Plan shall be reduced by the number of
Shares covered by that Award.  However,
if an Award

 

4

 

later terminates or expires without having been
exercised in full, the maximum number of shares that may be issued under this
Plan shall be increased by the number of Shares that were covered by, but not
purchased under, that Award.  By
contrast, the repurchase of Shares by the Company shall not increase the
maximum number of Shares that may be issued under this Plan.

 

3.2          Term of this
Plan.

 

(a)           This Plan shall be effective on, and Awards may be granted
under this Plan after, the date it has been both adopted by the Board and
approved by the Company’s shareholders (the “Effective Date”).

 

(b)           Subject to the provisions of Section 14, Awards may be
granted under this Plan for a period of ten years from the earlier of the date
on which the Board approves this Plan and the date the Company’s shareholders
approve this Plan.  Accordingly, Awards may
not be granted under this Plan after ten years from the earlier of those dates.

 

4.             Administration

 

4.1          General.

 

(a)           The Board shall have ultimate responsibility for
administering this Plan.  The Board may
delegate certain of its responsibilities to a Committee, which shall consist of
at least two members of the Board.  The
Board or the Committee may further delegate its responsibilities to any
Employee of the Company or any Affiliate. 
Where this Plan specifies that an action is to be taken or a determination
made by the Board, only the Board may take that action or make that
determination.  Where this Plan specifies
that an action is to be taken or a determination made by the Committee, only
the Committee may take that action or make that determination.  Where this Plan references the “Administrator,”
the action may be taken or determination made by the Board, the Committee, or
other Administrator.  However, only the
Board or the Committee may approve grants of Awards to Executives and such
other participants as may be specifically designated by the Board, and an
Administrator other than the Board or the Committee may grant Awards only
within guidelines established by the Board or Committee.  Moreover, all actions and determinations by
any Administrator are subject to the provisions of this Plan.

 

(b)           So long as the Company has registered and outstanding a
class of equity securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the
Committee shall consist of Company Directors who are “Non-Employee Directors”
as defined in Rule 16b-3 and, after the expiration of any transition
period permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.162-27(h)(3), who are “outside
directors” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

4.2          Authority of the Administrator.  Subject to the other provisions of this
Plan, the Administrator shall have the authority to:

 

(a)           grant Awards, including Substitute Awards;

 

(b)           determine the Fair Market Value of Shares;

 

(c)           determine the Option Price and the Purchase Price of
Awards;

 

(d)           select the Awardees;

 

(e)           determine the times Awards are granted;

 

(f)            determine the number of Shares subject to each Award;

 

5

 

(g)           determine the methods of payment that may be used to
purchase Award Shares;

 

(h)           determine the methods of payment that may be used to
satisfy withholding tax obligations;

 

(i)            determine the other terms of each Award, including but not
limited to the time or times at which Awards may be exercised, whether and
under what conditions an Award is assignable, and whether an Option is a
Nonstatutory Option or an Incentive Stock Option;

 

(j)            modify or amend any Award;

 

(k)           authorize any person to sign any Award Agreement or other
document related to this Plan on behalf of the Company;

 

(l)            determine the form of any Award Agreement or other document
related to this Plan, and whether that document, including signatures, may be
in electronic form;

 

(m)          interpret this Plan and any Award Agreement or document
related to this Plan;

 

(n)           correct any defect, remedy any omission, or reconcile any
inconsistency in this Plan, any Award Agreement or any other document related
to this Plan;

 

(o)           adopt, amend, and revoke rules and regulations under
this Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans and Plan
addenda;

 

(p)           adopt, amend, and revoke special rules and procedures
which may be inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, set forth (if the
Administrator so chooses) in sub-plans regarding (for example) the operation
and administration of this Plan and the terms of Awards, if and to the extent
necessary or useful to accommodate non-U.S. Applicable Laws and practices as
they apply to Awards and Award Shares held by, or granted or issued to, persons
working or resident outside of the United States or employed by Affiliates
incorporated outside the United States;

 

(q)           in the case of the Board, determine whether a transaction
or event should be treated as a Change in Control, a Divestiture or neither;

 

(r)            determine the effect of a Fundamental Transaction and, if
the Board determines that a transaction or event should be treated as a Change
in Control or a Divestiture, then the effect of that Change in Control or
Divestiture; and

 

(s)           make all other determinations the Administrator deems
necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

 

6

 

4.3          Scope of
Discretion.  Subject to the last
sentence of this Section 4.3, on all matters for which this Plan confers
the authority, right or power on the Board, the Committee, or other
Administrator to make decisions, that body may make those decisions.  Those decisions will be final, binding and
conclusive.  Moreover, but again subject to
the last sentence of this Section 4.3, in making those decisions, the
Board, Committee or other Administrator need not treat all persons eligible to
receive Awards, all Awardees, all Awards or all Award Shares the same way.  However, except as provided in Section 14.3,
the discretion of the Board, Committee or other Administrator is subject to the
specific provisions and specific limitations of this Plan, as well as all
rights conferred on specific Awardees by Award Agreements and other agreements.

 

5.             Participants
Eligible to Receive Awards

 

5.1          Eligible Participants.  Awards (including
Substitute Awards) may be granted to, and only to, Employees, Directors and
Consultants, including to prospective Employees, Directors and Consultants
conditioned on the beginning of their service for the Company or an Affiliate.  However, Incentive Stock Options may only be
granted to Employees, as provided in Section 7(g).

 

5.2          Section 162(m) Limitation.

 

(a)           Options.   So long as the Company is a “publicly held
corporation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code: (i) no
Employee may be granted one or more Options within any fiscal year of the
Company under this Plan to purchase more than 500,000 Shares under Options,
subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 10, (ii) Options may be
granted to an Executive only by the Committee (and, notwithstanding Section 4.1(a),
not by the Board).  If an Option is
cancelled without being exercised or if the Option Price of an Option is
reduced, that cancelled or repriced Option shall continue to be counted against
the limit on Awards that may be granted to any participant under this Section 5.2.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in connection with his or her initial employment with the Company or
an Affiliate, a new Employee or prospective Employee shall be eligible to
receive up to a maximum of 750,000 Shares under Options (subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 10), which Shares shall not be counted toward the
500,000 limitation set forth in this Section 5.2(a).

 

(b)           Stock Awards.  Any Stock Award intended as “qualified
performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of
the Code must vest or become exercisable contingent on the achievement of one
or more Objectively Determinable Performance Conditions.  The Committee shall have the discretion to
determine the time and manner of compliance with Section 162(m) of
the Code.

 

6.             Terms
and Conditions of Options

 

The following rules apply to all Options:

 

6.1          Price.  No Option intended as “qualified incentive-based
compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code may
have an Option Price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on
the Grant Date.  In no event will the
Option Price of any Option be less than the par value of the Shares issuable
under the Option if that is required by Applicable Law.  The Option Price of an Incentive Stock Option
shall be subject to Section 7(f).

 

6.2          Term.  No Option shall be exercisable after its
Expiration Date.  No Option may have an
Expiration Date that is more than ten years after its Grant Date.  Additional provisions regarding the term of
Incentive Stock Options are provided in Sections 7(a) and 7(e).

 

6.3          Vesting.  Options shall be exercisable: (a) on the
Grant Date, or (b) in accordance with a schedule related to the Grant
Date, the date the Awardee’s directorship, employment or consultancy begins, or
a different date specified in the Award Agreement.  If so provided in the Award Agreement, an
Option may be exercisable subject to the application of Reverse Vesting to the
Option Shares.  Additional

 

7

 

provisions regarding the
vesting of Incentive Stock Options are provided in Section 7(c).  No Option granted to an individual who is
subject to the overtime pay provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act may be
exercised before the expiration of six months after the Grant Date.

 

6.4          Form and
Method of Payment.

 

(a)           The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form and
method of payment for exercising an Option.

 

(b)           Acceptable forms of payment for all Option Shares are cash,
check or wire transfer, denominated in U.S. dollars except as specified by the
Administrator for non-U.S. Employees or non-U.S. sub-plans.

 

(c)           In addition, the Administrator may permit payment to be
made by any of the following methods:

 

(i)            other Shares, or the designation of
other Shares, which (A) are “mature” shares for purposes of avoiding
variable accounting treatment under generally accepted accounting principles
(generally mature shares are those that have been owned by the Awardee for more
than six months on the date of surrender), and (B) have a Fair Market
Value on the date of surrender equal to the Option Price of the Shares as to
which the Option is being exercised;

 

(ii)           provided that a public market
exists for the Shares, consideration received by the Company under a procedure
under which a licensed broker-dealer advances funds on behalf of an Awardee or
sells Option Shares on behalf of an Awardee (a “Cashless Exercise Procedure”), provided that if the Company
extends or arranges for the extension of credit to an Awardee under any
Cashless Exercise Procedure, no Officer or Director may participate in that
Cashless Exercise Procedure;

 

(iii)          subject to Section 6.4(e), one or more promissory notes meeting the
requirements of Section 6.4(e) provided, however, that promissory
notes may not be used for any portion of an Award which is not vested at the
time of exercise;

 

(iv)          cancellation of any debt owed by the Company or any
Affiliate to the Awardee including without limitation waiver of compensation
due or accrued for services previously rendered to the Company or an Affiliate;
and

 

(v)           any combination of the methods of payment permitted by any
paragraph of this Section 6.4.

 

(d)           The Administrator may also permit any other form or method
of payment for Option Shares permitted by Applicable Law.

 

(e)           The promissory notes referred to in Section 6.4(c)(iii) shall
be full recourse.  Unless the
Administrator specifies otherwise after taking into account any relevant
accounting issues, the promissory notes shall bear interest at a fair market
value rate when the Option is exercised. 
Interest on the promissory notes shall also be at least sufficient to
avoid imputation of interest under Sections 483, 1274, and 7872 of the
Code.  The promissory notes and their
administration shall at all times comply with any applicable margin rules of
the Federal Reserve.  The promissory
notes may also include such other terms as the Administrator specifies.  Payment may not be made by promissory note by
Officers or Directors if Shares are registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act.

 

8

 

6.5          Assignability of Options.  Except as
determined by the Administrator, no Option shall be assignable or otherwise
transferable by the Awardee except by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution.  However, Options may be
transferred and exercised in accordance with a Domestic Relations Order and may
be exercised by a guardian or conservator appointed to act for the Awardee.  Incentive Stock Options may only be assigned
in compliance with Section 7(h).

 

6.6          Substitute Options.  The Board may cause the Company to grant Substitute
Options in connection with the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of
equity securities of any entity (including by merger, tender offer, or other
similar transaction) or of all or a portion of the assets of any entity.  Any such substitution shall be effective on
the effective date of the acquisition. 
Substitute Options may be Nonstatutory Options or Incentive Stock
Options.  Unless and to the extent
specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute Options shall have the same terms
and conditions as the options they replace, except that (subject to the provisions
of Section 10) Substitute Options shall be Options to purchase Shares
rather than equity securities of the granting entity and shall have an Option
Price determined by the Board.

 

7.             Incentive
Stock Options

 

The following rules apply only to Incentive Stock
Options and only to the extent these rules are more restrictive than the rules that
would otherwise apply under this Plan. 
With the consent of the Awardee, or where this Plan provides that an
action may be taken notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the
Administrator may deviate from the requirements of this Section,
notwithstanding that any Incentive Stock Option modified by the Administrator
will thereafter be treated as a Nonstatutory Option.

 

(a)           The Expiration Date of an Incentive Stock Option shall not
be later than ten years from its Grant Date, with the result that no Incentive
Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of ten years from its Grant
Date.

 

(b)           No Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than ten
years from the date this Plan was approved by the Board.

 

(c)           Options intended to be incentive stock options under Section 422
of the Code that are granted to any single Awardee under all incentive stock
option plans of the Company and its Affiliates, including incentive stock
options granted under this Plan, may not vest at a rate of more than $100,000
(or such other amount that may be hereafter specified in the applicable section
of the Code) in Fair Market Value of stock (measured on the grant dates of the
options) during any calendar year.  For
this purpose, an option vests with respect to a given share of stock the first
time its holder may purchase that share, notwithstanding any right of the
Company to repurchase that share.  Unless
the administrator of that option plan specifies otherwise in the related
agreement governing the option, this vesting limitation shall be applied by, to
the extent necessary to satisfy this $100,000 (or other amount) rule, by
treating certain stock options that were intended to be incentive stock options
under Section 422 of the Code as Nonstatutory Options.  The stock options or portions of stock
options to be reclassified as Nonstatutory Options are those with the highest
option prices, whether granted under this Plan or any other equity compensation
plan of the Company or any Affiliate that permits that treatment.  This Section 7(c) shall not cause
an Incentive Stock Option to vest before its original vesting date or cause an
Incentive Stock Option that has already vested to cease to be vested.

 

(d)           In order for an Incentive Stock Option to be exercised for
any form of payment other than those described in Section 6.4(b), that
form of payment must be stated at the time of grant in the Award Agreement
relating to that Incentive Stock Option.

 

(e)           Any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent
Shareholder must have an Expiration Date that is not later than five years from
its Grant Date, with the result that no such Option may be exercised after the
expiration of five years from the Grant Date.

 

(f)            The Option Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall never
be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the Grant Date.  The Option Price for the Shares covered by an
Incentive Stock

 

9

 

Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder shall never be
less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the Grant Date.

 

(g)           Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
Employees.  If an Awardee changes status
from an Employee to a Consultant, that Awardee’s Incentive Stock Options become
Nonstatutory Options if not exercised within the time period described in Section 7(i) (determined
by treating that change in status as a Termination solely for purposes of this Section 7(g)).

 

(h)           No rights under an Incentive Stock Option may be
transferred by the Awardee, other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.  During the life of the
Awardee, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Awardee.  The Company’s compliance with a Domestic
Relations Order, or the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option by a guardian or
conservator appointed to act for the Awardee, shall not violate this Section 7(h).

 

(i)            An Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a
Nonstatutory Option if it remains exercisable after, and is not exercised
within, the three-month period beginning with the Awardee’s Termination for any
reason other than the Awardee’s death or disability (as defined in Section 22(e) of
the Code).  In the case of Termination
due to death, an Incentive Stock Option shall continue to be treated as an
Incentive Stock Option if it remains exercisable after, and is not exercised
within, the three-month period after the Awardee’s Termination provided it is
exercised before the Expiration Date.  In
the case of Termination due to disability, an Incentive Stock Option shall be
treated as a Nonstatutory Option if it remains exercisable after, and is not
exercised within, one year after the Awardee’s Termination.

 

(j)            An Incentive Stock Option may only be modified by the Board
or the Committee.

 

8.             Stock
Awards

 

8.1          General.  The specific terms and conditions of a Stock
Award applicable to the Awardee shall be provided for in the Award Agreement.
The Award Agreement shall state the number of Shares that the Awardee shall be
entitled to receive or purchase, the terms and conditions on which the Shares
shall vest, the price to be paid and, if applicable, the time within which the
Awardee must accept such offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of the
Award Agreement.  The Administrator may
require that all Shares subject to a right of repurchase or risk of forfeiture
be held in escrow until such repurchase right or risk of forfeiture
lapses.  The grant or vesting of a Stock
Award may be made contingent on the achievement of Objectively Determinable
Performance Conditions.

 

8.2          Right of Repurchase.  If so provided
in the Award Agreement, Award Shares acquired pursuant to a Stock Award may be
subject to repurchase by the Company or an Affiliate if not vested in
accordance with the Award Agreement.

 

8.3          Form of Payment for Stock Awards.  The
Administrator shall determine the acceptable form and method of payment for
exercising a Stock Award.  Acceptable
forms of payment for all Award Shares are cash, check or wire transfer, denominated
in U.S. dollars except as specified by the Administrator for non-U.S. Employees
or non-U.S. sub-plans.  In addition, the
Administrator may permit payment to be made by any of the methods permitted
with respect to the exercise of Options pursuant to Section 6.4.

 

8.4          Nonassignability of Stock Awards.  Except as
determined by the Administrator, no Stock Award shall be assignable or
otherwise transferable by the Awardee except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution (including without limitation Section 17).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, Stock Awards may be transferred and exercised in accordance with a
Domestic Relations Order.

 

8.5          Substitute Stock Award.  The Board may
cause the Company to grant Substitute Stock Awards in connection with the
acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of equity securities of any entity
(including by merger, tender offer, or other similar transaction) or of all or
a portion of the assets of any

 

10

 

entity.  Any such substitution shall be effective on
the effective date of the acquisition. 
Unless and to the extent specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute
Stock Awards shall have the same terms and conditions as the stock awards they
replace, except that (subject to the provisions of Section 10) Substitute
Stock Awards shall be Stock Awards to purchase Shares rather than equity
securities of the granting entity and shall have a Purchase Price that, as
determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, properly reflects
the substitution.

 

8.6                               Maximum Number of Stock
Awards. 
The maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to
Stock Awards under this Plan shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the number
of Shares that may be issued pursuant to this Plan under Section 3.1.

 

9.                                      Exercise of
Awards

 

9.1                               In General.  An Award shall be exercisable in accordance
with this Plan and the Award Agreement under which it is granted.

 

9.2                               Time of Exercise.  Options and Stock Awards shall be considered exercised
when the Company receives: (a) written notice of exercise from the person
entitled to exercise the Option or Stock Award, (b) full payment, or
provision for payment, in a form and method approved by the Administrator, for
the Shares for which the Option or Stock Award is being exercised, and (c) with
respect to Nonstatutory Options, payment, or provision for payment, in a form
approved by the Administrator, of all applicable withholding taxes due upon
exercise.  An Award may not be exercised
for a fraction of a Share.

 

9.3                               Issuance of Award Shares.  The Company shall issue Award Shares in the name of
the person properly exercising the Award. 
If the Awardee is that person and so requests, the Award Shares shall be
issued in the name of the Awardee and the Awardee’s spouse.  The Company shall endeavor to issue Award
Shares promptly after an Award is exercised. 
Until Award Shares are actually issued, as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the stock register of the Company or its transfer agent, the Awardee
will not have the rights of a shareholder with respect to those Award Shares,
even though the Awardee has completed all the steps necessary to exercise the
Award.  No adjustment shall be made for
any dividend, distribution, or other right for which the record date precedes
the date the Award Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 10.

 

9.4                               Termination.

 

(a)                                  In General. 
Except as provided in an Award Agreement or in writing by the
Administrator, and as otherwise provided in Sections 9.4(b), (c), (d) and
(e) after an Awardee’s Termination, the Awardee’s Awards shall be
exercisable to the extent (but only to the extent) they are vested on the date
of that Termination and only during the three months after the Termination, but
in no event after the Expiration Date. 
To the extent the Awardee does not exercise an Award within the time
specified for exercise, the Award shall automatically terminate.

 

(b)                                 Leaves of
Absence.  Unless otherwise provided in the Award
Agreement or in writing by the Administrator, no Award may be exercised more
than three months after the beginning of a leave of absence, other than a
personal or medical leave approved by an authorized representative of the
Company with employment guaranteed upon return. 
Awards shall not continue to vest during a leave of absence, unless
otherwise determined in writing by the Administrator with respect to an
approved personal or medical leave with employment guaranteed upon return.

 

(c)                                  Death or
Disability.  Unless otherwise provided in
the Award Agreement or in writing by the Administrator, if an Awardee’s
Termination is due to death or disability (as determined by the Administrator
with respect to all Awards other than Incentive Stock Options and as defined by
Section 22(e) of the Code with respect to Incentive Stock Options),
all Awards of that Awardee to the extent exercisable at the date of that
Termination may be exercised for one year after that Termination, but in no
event after the Expiration Date.  In the
case of Termination

 

11

 

due to death, an Award may be
exercised as provided in Section 17. 
In the case of Termination due to disability, if a guardian or
conservator has been appointed to act for the Awardee and been granted this
authority as part of that appointment, that guardian or conservator may
exercise the Award on behalf of the Awardee. 
Death or disability occurring after an Awardee’s Termination shall not
cause the Termination to be treated as having occurred due to death or
disability.  To the extent an Award is
not so exercised within the time specified for its exercise, the Award shall
automatically terminate.

 

(d)                                 Divestiture. 
If an Awardee’s Termination is due to a Divestiture, the Board may take
any one or more of the actions described in Section 10.3 or 10.4 with
respect to the Awardee’s Awards.

 

(e)                                  Termination
for Cause.  In the discretion of the Administrator, which
may be exercised on the date of grant, or at a date later in time, if an
Awardee’s Termination is due to Cause, all of the Awardee’s Awards shall
automatically terminate and cease to be exercisable at the time of
Termination.  “Cause”
means employment-related dishonesty, fraud, misconduct or disclosure or misuse
of confidential information, or other employment-related conduct that is likely
to cause significant injury to the Company, an Affiliate, or any of their
respective employees, officers or directors (including, without limitation,
commission of a felony or similar offense whether or not employment-related),
in each case as determined by the Administrator.  “Cause” shall not require that a civil
judgment or criminal conviction have been entered against or guilty plea shall
have been made by the Awardee regarding any of the matters referred to in the
previous sentence.  Accordingly, the
Administrator shall be entitled to determine “Cause” based on the Administrator’s
good faith belief.  If the Awardee is
criminally charged with a felony or similar offense, that shall be a
sufficient, but not a necessary, basis for such a belief.

 

(f)                                    Administrator
Discretion.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.4
(a)-(e), the Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable either
at the time an Award is granted or at any time while the Award remains
outstanding, to:

 

(i)                                     Extend the period of time for which
the Award is to remain exercisable, following the Awardee’s Termination, from
the limited exercise period otherwise in effect for that Award to such greater
period of time as the Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event
beyond the Expiration Date; and/or

 

(ii)                                  Permit the Award to be exercised,
during the applicable post-Termination exercise period, not only with respect
to the number of vested Shares for which such Award may be exercisable at the
time of the Awardee’s Termination but also with respect to one or more
additional installments in which the Awardee would have vested had the Awardee
not been subject to Termination.

 

(g)                                 Consulting or
Employment Relationship. Nothing in this Plan
or in any Award Agreement, and no Award or the fact that Award Shares remain
subject to repurchase rights, shall:  (A) interfere
with or limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the
employment or consultancy of any Awardee at any time, whether with or without
cause or reason, and with or without the payment of severance or any other
compensation or payment, (B) interfere with the application of any
provision in any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s charter documents or
Applicable Law relating to the election, appointment, term of office, or
removal of a Director or (C) interfere with the Company’s right to
terminate any consultancy.

 

10.                               Certain Transactions and Events

 

10.1                        In General.  Except as provided in this Section 10,
no change in the capital structure of the Company, merger, sale or other
disposition of assets or a subsidiary, change in control, issuance by the
Company of shares of any class of securities or securities convertible into
shares of any class of securities, exchange or conversion of securities, or
other transaction or event shall require or be the occasion for any

 

12

 

adjustments of the type
described in this Section 10. 
Additional provisions with respect to the foregoing transactions are set
forth in Section 14.3.

 

10.2                        Changes in Capital Structure.  In the event
of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination or
reclassification of stock, stock dividend, spin-off, or similar change to the
capital structure of the Company (not including a Fundamental Transaction or
Change in Control), the Board shall make whatever adjustments it concludes are
appropriate to: (a) the number and type of Awards that may be granted
under this Plan, (b) the number and type of Options that may be granted to
any participant under this Plan, (c) the Purchase Price and number and
class of securities issuable under each outstanding Stock Award, (d) the
Option Price and number and class of securities issuable under each outstanding
Option, and (e) the repurchase price of any securities substituted for
Award Shares that are subject to repurchase rights.  The specific adjustments shall be determined
by the Board.  Unless the Board specifies
otherwise, any securities issuable as a result of any such adjustment shall be
rounded down to the next lower whole security. 
The Board need not adopt the same rules for each Award or each
Awardee.

 

10.3                        Fundamental Transactions.  Except for
grants to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 11, in the event of (a) a
merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation
(other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a
reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or other
transaction in which there is no substantial change in the shareholders of the
Company or their relative stock holdings and the Awards granted under this Plan
are assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation, which
assumption shall be binding on all participants under this Plan), (b) a
merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which the
shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger (other than any
shareholder that merges, or which owns or controls another corporation that
merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their shares or other
equity interest in the Company, (c) the sale of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company, or (d) the acquisition, sale, or transfer of
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Company by tender offer or
similar transaction (each, a “Fundamental Transaction”), any or all outstanding Awards
may be assumed, converted or replaced by the successor corporation (if any),
which assumption, conversion or replacement shall be binding on all
participants under this Plan.  In the
alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent Awards or
provide substantially similar consideration to participants as was provided to
the Company’s shareholders (after taking into account the existing provisions
of the Awards).  The successor
corporation may also issue, in place of outstanding Shares held by
participants, substantially similar shares or other property subject to
repurchase restrictions no less favorable to the participants. In the event
such successor corporation (if any) does not assume or substitute Awards, as
provided above, pursuant to a transaction described in this Section 10.3,
the vesting with respect to such Awards shall fully and immediately accelerate
or the repurchase rights of the Company shall fully and immediately terminate,
as the case may be, so that the Awards may be exercised or the repurchase
rights shall terminate before, or otherwise in connection with the closing or
completion of the Fundamental Transaction or event, but then terminate.  Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the
contrary, the Board may, in its sole discretion, provide that the vesting of
any or all Award Shares subject to vesting or a right of repurchase shall
accelerate or lapse, as the case may be, upon a transaction described in this Section 10.3.
If the Board exercises such discretion with respect to Options, such Options
shall become exercisable in full prior to the consummation of such event at
such time and on such conditions as the Board determines, and if such Options
are not exercised prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction,
they shall terminate at such time as determined by the Board.  The Board need not adopt the same rules for
each Award or each Awardee.  Subject to
any greater rights granted to participants under the foregoing provisions of
this Section 10.3, in the event of the occurrence of any Fundamental
Transaction, any outstanding Awards shall be treated as provided in the
applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution,
liquidation, or sale of assets.

 

10.4                        Changes in Control.  The Board may
also, but need not, specify that other transactions or events constitute a “Change in Control”.  The Board may do that either before or after
the transaction or event occurs. 
Examples of transactions or events that the Board may treat as Changes
in Control are: (a) any person or entity, including a “group” as
contemplated by Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, acquires
securities holding 50% or more of the total combined voting power or value of
the Company, or (b) as a result of or in connection with a contested
election of Company Directors, the persons who were

 

13

 

Company Directors
immediately before the election cease to constitute a majority of the
Board.  In connection with a Change in
Control, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board may, but
need not, take any one or more of the actions described in Section 10.3.  In addition, the Board may extend the date
for the exercise of Awards (but not beyond their original Expiration
Date).  The Board need not adopt the same
rules for each Award or each Awardee.

 

10.5                        Divestiture.  If the Company or an Affiliate sells or
otherwise transfers equity securities of an Affiliate to a person or entity
other than the Company or an Affiliate, or leases, exchanges or transfers all
or any portion of its assets to such a person or entity, then the Board may
specify that such transaction or event constitutes a “Divestiture”.  In connection with a Divestiture,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board may, but need not,  take one or more of the actions described in Section 10.3
or 10.4 with respect to Awards or Award Shares held by, for example, Employees,
Directors or Consultants for whom that transaction or event results in a
Termination.  The Board need not adopt
the same rules for each Award or each Awardee.

 

10.6                        Dissolution.  If the Company adopts a plan of dissolution,
the Board may cause Awards to be fully vested and exercisable (but not after
their Expiration Date) before the dissolution is completed but contingent on
its completion and may cause the Company’s repurchase rights on Award Shares to
lapse upon completion of the dissolution. 
The Board need not adopt the same rules for each Award or each
Awardee.  However, to the extent not
exercised before the earlier of the completion of the dissolution, Awards shall
terminate immediately prior to the dissolution.

 

11.                               Automatic
Option Grants to Non-Employee Directors.

 

11.1                        Automatic
Option Grants to Non-Employee Directors.

 

(a)                                  Annual Grant. 
On the date of the last regular meeting of directors during each
calendar year each individual who is serving as a Non-Employee Director shall
automatically be granted a Nonstatutory Option to purchase 15,000 Shares (the “Annual Grant”), provided, however, that such
individual has served as a Non-Employee Director for at least six months.

 

(b)                                 Initial Grant. 
Upon the first appointment or election of an individual as a
Non-Employee Director, such individual shall automatically be granted a
Nonstatutory Option to purchase 25,000 Shares (the “Initial Grant”).

 

(c)                                  Exercise Price.

 

(i)                                     The Option Price shall be equal to
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Option
grant date.

 

(ii)                                  The Option Price shall be payable
in one or more of the alternative forms authorized pursuant to Section 6.4.  Except to the extent the sale and remittance
procedure specified thereunder is utilized, payment of the Option Price must be
made on the date of exercise.

 

(d)                                 Option Term. 
Each Option shall have a term of ten (10) years measured from the
Option grant date.

 

(e)                                  Exercise and
Vesting of Options.  The Shares underlying each Option issued
pursuant to each Initial Grant shall vest and be exercisable in a series of
forty-eight (48) successive equal monthly installments at the end of each full
month from the date of grant, for so long as the Non-Employee Director
continuously remains a Director. The Shares underlying each Option issued
pursuant to each Annual Grant shall vest and be exercisable in a series of
twelve (12) successive equal monthly installments at the end of each full month
from the date of grant, for so long as the Non-Employee Director continuously
remains a Director.

 

14

 

(f)                                    Termination of
Board Service.  The following provisions shall govern the
exercise of any Options held by the Awardee at the time the Awardee ceases to
serve as a Non-Employee Director:

 

(i)                                     In General. 
Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.3, after cessation of
service as a Director (the “Cessation Date”), the Awardee’s Options shall be
exercisable to the extent (but only to the extent) they are vested on the
Cessation Date and only during the three months after such Cessation Date, but
in no event after the Expiration Date. 
To the extent the Awardee does not exercise an Option within the time
specified for exercise, the Option shall automatically terminate.

 

(ii)                                  Death or Disability.  If an
Awardee’s cessation of service on the Board is due to death or disability (as
determined by the Board), all Non-Employee Director Options of that Awardee,
whether or not exercisable upon such Cessation Date, may be exercised at any
time on or prior to the Expiration Date. 
In the case of a cessation of service due to death, an Option may be
exercised as provided in Section 17. 
In the case of a cessation of service due to disability, if a guardian
or conservator has been appointed to act for the Awardee and been granted this
authority as part of that appointment, that guardian or conservator may
exercise the Option on behalf of the Awardee. 
Death or disability occurring after an Awardee’s cessation of service
shall not cause the cessation of service to be treated as having occurred due
to death or disability.  To the extent an
Option is not so exercised within the time specified for its exercise, the
Option shall automatically terminate.

 

11.2                        Certain
Transactions and Events.

 

(a)                                  In the event of a
Fundamental Transaction while the Awardee remains a Non-Employee Director, the
Shares at the time subject to each outstanding Option held by such Awardee
pursuant to Section 11, but not otherwise vested, shall automatically vest
in full so that each such Option shall, immediately prior to the effective date
of the Fundamental Transaction, become exercisable for all the Shares as fully
vested Shares and may be exercised for any or all of those vested Shares.
Immediately following the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, each
Option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent
assumed by the successor corporation (or Affiliate thereof).

 

(b)                                 In the event of a
Change in Control while the Awardee remains a Non-Employee Director, the Shares
at the time subject to each outstanding Option held by such Awardee pursuant to
Section 11, but not otherwise vested, shall automatically vest in full so
that each such Option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the
Change in Control, become exercisable for all the Shares as fully vested Shares
and may be exercised for any or all of those vested Shares. Each such Option
shall remain exercisable for such fully vested Shares until the expiration or
sooner termination of the Option term in connection with a Change in Control.

 

(c)                                  Each Option which is
assumed in connection with a Fundamental Transaction shall be appropriately
adjusted, immediately after such Fundamental Transaction, to apply to the
number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Awardee in
consummation of such Fundamental Transaction had the Option been exercised
immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. Appropriate adjustments
shall also be made to the Option Price payable per share under each outstanding
Option, provided the aggregate Option Price payable for such securities shall
remain the same.

 

(d)                                 The grant of Options
pursuant to Section 11 shall in no way affect the right of the Company to
adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business
structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all
or any part of its business or assets.

 

15

 

(e)                                  The remaining terms of
each Option granted pursuant to Section 11 shall, as applicable, be the
same as terms in effect for Awards granted under this Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions
of Section 9.4 and Section 10 shall not apply to Options granted
pursuant to Section 11.

 

11.3                        Limited Transferability of Options.  Each Option
granted pursuant to Section 11 may be assigned in whole or in part during
the Awardee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Awardee’s family or to a
trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to an
entity in which the Awardee is majority owner or to the Awardee’s former
spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Awardee’s
estate or financial plan or pursuant to a Domestic Relations Order. The
assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a
proprietary interest in the Option pursuant to the assignment. The terms
applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the
Option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such
documents issued to the assignee as the Administrator may deem appropriate. The
Awardee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries
of his or her outstanding Options under Section 11, and those Options
shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to
such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Awardee’s death while holding those
Options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred Options
subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable Award Agreement
evidencing each such transferred Option, including without limitation, the
limited time period during which the Option may be exercised following the
Awardee’s death.

 

12.                               Withholding and Tax Reporting

 

12.1                        Tax Withholding
Alternatives.

 

(a)                                  General. 
Whenever Award Shares are issued or become free of restrictions, the
Company may require the Awardee to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to
satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirement, whether the related tax is
imposed on the Awardee or the Company. 
The Company shall have no obligation to deliver Award Shares or release
Award Shares from an escrow or permit a transfer of Award Shares until the
Awardee has satisfied those tax withholding obligations.

 

(b)                                 Method of
Payment.  The Awardee shall pay any required
withholding using the forms of consideration described in Section 6.4(b),
except that, in the discretion of the Administrator, the Company may also
permit the Awardee to use any of the forms of payment described in Section 6.4(c).  The Administrator, in its sole discretion,
may also permit Award Shares to be withheld to pay required withholding.  If the Administrator permits Award Shares to
be withheld, the Fair Market Value of the Award Shares withheld, as determined
as of the date of withholding, shall not exceed the amount determined by the
applicable minimum statutory withholding rates.

 

12.2                        Reporting of Dispositions.  Any holder of Option Shares acquired under an
Incentive Stock Option shall promptly notify the Administrator, following such
procedures as the Administrator may require, of the sale or other disposition
of any of those Option Shares if the disposition occurs during:  (a) the longer of two years after the
Grant Date of the Incentive Stock Option and one year after the date the
Incentive Stock Option was exercised, or (b) such other period as the
Administrator has established.

 

13.                               Compliance with Law

 

The grant of Awards and the issuance and subsequent
transfer of Award Shares shall be subject to compliance with all Applicable
Law, including all applicable securities laws. 
Awards may not be exercised, and Award Shares may not be transferred, in
violation of Applicable Law.  Thus, for
example, Awards may not be exercised unless: 
(a) a registration statement under the Securities Act is then in
effect with respect to the related Award Shares, or (b) in the opinion of
legal counsel to the Company, those Award Shares may be issued in accordance
with an applicable exemption from the registration

 

16

 

requirements of the Securities Act and any other
applicable securities laws.  The failure
or inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body the authority
considered by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary or useful for the
lawful issuance of any Award Shares or their subsequent transfer shall relieve
the Company of any liability for failing to issue those Award Shares or
permitting their transfer.  As a
condition to the exercise of any Award or the transfer of any Award Shares, the
Company may require the Awardee to satisfy any requirements or qualifications
that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with or evidence compliance with
any Applicable Law.

 

14.                               Amendment or Termination of this Plan or
Outstanding Awards

 

14.1                        Amendment and Termination.  Subject to Section 14.2
and 14.3, the Board may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate this Plan.

 

14.2                        Shareholder Approval.  The Company
shall obtain the approval of the Company’s shareholders for any amendment to
this Plan if shareholder approval is necessary or desirable to comply with any
Applicable Law or with the requirements applicable to the grant of Awards
intended to be Incentive Stock Options. 
The Board may also, but need not, require that the Company’s
shareholders approve any other amendments to this Plan.

 

14.3                        Effect.  No amendment, suspension, or termination
of this Plan, and no modification of any Award even in the absence of an
amendment, suspension, or termination of this Plan, shall impair any existing
contractual rights of any Awardee unless the affected Awardee consents to the
amendment, suspension, termination, or modification.  However, no such consent shall be required if
the Board determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the amendment,
suspension, termination, or modification: 
(a) is required or advisable in order for the Company, this Plan or
the Award to satisfy Applicable Law, to meet the requirements of any accounting
standard or to avoid any adverse accounting treatment, or (b) in
connection with any transaction or event described in Section 10, is in
the best interests of the Company or its shareholders.  The Board may, but need not, take the tax or
accounting consequences to affected Awardees into consideration in acting under
the preceding sentence.  Those decisions
shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
Termination of this Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to
exercise the powers granted to it under this Plan with respect to (i) Awards
granted before the termination of this Plan or (ii) Award Shares issued
under such Awards even if those Award Shares are issued after the termination
of this Plan.

 

15.                               Reserved Rights

 

15.1                        Nonexclusivity of this Plan.  This Plan shall not limit the power of the Company or
any Affiliate to adopt other incentive arrangements including, for example, the
grant or issuance of stock options, stock, or other equity-based rights under
other plans.

 

15.2                        Unfunded Plan.  This Plan shall be unfunded.  Although bookkeeping accounts may be
established with respect to Awardees, any such accounts will be used merely as
a convenience.  The Company shall not be
required to segregate any assets on account of this Plan, the grant of Awards,
or the issuance of Award Shares.  The
Company and the Administrator shall not be deemed to be a trustee of stock or
cash to be awarded under this Plan.  Any
obligations of the Company to any Awardee shall be based solely upon contracts
entered into under this Plan, such as Award Agreements.  No such obligations shall be deemed to be
secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any assets of the Company.  Neither the Company nor the Administrator
shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any such
obligations.

 

16.                               Special Arrangements Regarding Award Shares

 

16.1                        Escrow of Stock Certificates.  To enforce any
restrictions on Award Shares, the Administrator may require their holder to
deposit the certificates representing Award Shares, with stock powers or other
transfer instruments approved by the Administrator endorsed in blank, with the
Company or an agent of the Company to hold in escrow until the restrictions
have lapsed or terminated.  The

 

17

 

Administrator may also
cause a legend or legends referencing the restrictions to be placed on the
certificates.  Any Awardee who delivers a
promissory note as partial or full consideration for the purchase of Award
Shares will be required to pledge and deposit with the Company some or all of
the Award Shares as collateral to secure the payment of the note.  However, the Administrator may require or
accept other or additional forms of collateral to secure the note and, in any
event, the Company will have full recourse against the maker of the note,
notwithstanding any pledge or other collateral.

 

16.2                        Repurchase
Rights.

 

(a)                                  General. 
If an Option is subject to Reverse Vesting or a Stock Award is subject
to vesting conditions, the Company shall have the right, during the seven
months after the Awardee’s Termination, to repurchase any or all of the Award
Shares that were unvested as of the date of that Termination.  If the Award Shares were purchased with a
promissory note, the repurchase price shall be the lower of:  (a) the Purchase Price for the Award
Shares (minus the amount of any cash dividends paid or payable with respect to
the Award Shares for which the record date precedes the repurchase) and (b) the
Fair Market Value at the date of Termination. 
In all other cases, the repurchase price shall be determined by the
Administrator in accordance with this Section 16.2 which shall be either (i) the
Purchase Price for the Award Shares (minus the amount of any cash dividends
paid or payable with respect to the Award Shares for which the record date
precedes the repurchase) or (ii) the lower of (A) the Option Price or
Purchase Price for the Award Shares or (B) the Fair Market Value of those
Award Shares as of the date of the Termination. 
The repurchase price shall be paid in cash or if the Award Shares were
purchased in whole or in part with a promissory note, cancellation in whole or in
part of indebtedness under that note, or a combination of those means.  The Company may assign this right of
repurchase.

 

(b)                                 Procedure. 
The Company or its assignee may choose to give the Awardee a written
notice of exercise of its repurchase rights under this Section 16.2.  However, the Company’s failure to give such a
notice shall not affect its rights to repurchase Award Shares.  The Company must, however, tender the
repurchase price during the period specified in this Section 16.2 for
exercising its repurchase rights in order to exercise such rights.

 

16.3                        Market Standoff.  If requested
by the Company or a representative of its underwriters in connection with a
registration of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act,
Awardees or certain Awardees shall be prohibited from selling some or all of
their Award Shares during a period not to exceed 180 days after the effective
date of the Company’s registration statement. 
This restriction shall not apply to any registration statement on Form S-8,
Form S-4 or an equivalent registration statement.

 

17.                               Beneficiaries

 

An Awardee may file a written designation of one or
more beneficiaries who are to receive the Awardee’s rights under the Awardee’s
Awards after the Awardee’s death.  Such
designation shall be accompanied by a signed acknowledgment from the Awardee’s
spouse, if any, consenting to such designation. 
An Awardee may change such a designation at any time by written
notice.  If an Awardee designates a
beneficiary, the beneficiary may exercise the Awardee’s Awards after the Awardee’s
death.  If an Awardee dies when the
Awardee has no living beneficiary designated under this Plan, the Company shall
allow the executor or administrator of the Awardee’s estate to exercise the
Award or, if there is none, the person entitled to exercise the Option under
the Awardee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.  In any case, no Award may be exercised after
its Expiration Date.

 

18.                               Miscellaneous

 

18.1                        Governing Law.  This Plan, the Award Agreements and all other
agreements entered into under this Plan, and all actions taken under this Plan
or in connection with Awards or Award Shares, shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California.

 

18.2                        Determination of Value.  Fair Market
Value shall be determined as follows:

 

18

 

(a)                                  Listed Stock. 
If the Shares are traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on
a national market system, Fair Market Value shall be the closing sales price
for the Shares as quoted on that stock exchange or system for the date the
value is to be determined (the “Value Date”) as
reported by such stock exchange or national market system, or, if not reported
by such stock exchange or national market system, as reported in The  Wall Street Journal
or a similar publication.  If no sales
are reported as having occurred on the Value Date, Fair Market Value shall be
that closing sales price for the last preceding trading day on which sales of
Shares are reported as having occurred. 
If no sales are reported as having occurred during the five trading days
before the Value Date, Fair Market Value shall be the closing bid for Shares on
the Value Date.  If Shares are listed on
multiple exchanges or systems, Fair Market Value shall be based on sales or bid
prices on the primary exchange or system on which Shares are traded or quoted.

 

(b)                                 Stock Quoted
by Securities Dealer.  If Shares are regularly quoted by a
recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported on any
established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, Fair Market
Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the Value
Date.  If no prices are quoted for the
Value Date, Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low
asked prices on the last preceding trading day on which any bid and asked
prices were quoted.

 

(c)                                  No Established
Market.  If Shares are not traded on any established
stock exchange or quoted on a national market system and are not quoted by a
recognized securities dealer, the Board or Committee will determine Fair Market
Value in good faith.  The Board or
Committee will consider the following factors, and any others it considers
significant, in determining Fair Market Value: (i) the price at which
other securities of the Company have been issued to purchasers other than
Employees, Directors, or Consultants, (ii) the Company’s shareholder’s
equity, prospective earning power, dividend-paying capacity, and non-operating
assets, if any, and (iii) any other relevant factors, including the economic
outlook for the Company and the Company’s industry, the Company’s position in
that industry, the Company’s goodwill and other intellectual property, and the
values of securities of other businesses in the same industry.

 

18.3                        Reservation of Shares.  During the term of this Plan, the Company shall at all
times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as are still issuable
under this Plan.

 

18.4                        Electronic Communications.  Any Award Agreement, notice of exercise of an Award,
or other document required or permitted by this Plan may be delivered in
writing or, to the extent determined by the Administrator, electronically.  Signatures may also be electronic if
permitted by the Administrator.

 

18.5                        Notices.  Unless the Administrator specifies otherwise,
any notice to the Company under any Award Agreement or with respect to any
Awards or Award Shares shall be in writing (or, if so authorized by Section 18.4,
communicated electronically), shall be addressed to the Company, and shall only
be effective when received by the Company.
