DELAYED ISSUANCE STOCK ISSUANCE AWARD AGREEMENT

 

Pursuant to the Delayed Issuance
Stock Issuance Award Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Delayed Issuance
Stock Issuance Award Agreement (“Award Agreement”),
Websense, Inc. (the “Corporation”)
has awarded you a Delayed Issuance Stock Issuance right pursuant to Article 4
of the Websense, Inc. 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of shares of Common
Stock (the “Shares”) as indicated in the
Grant Notice (collectively, the “Award”). 
Defined terms not explicitly defined in this Award Agreement but defined
in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

 

The details of your Award are as
follows.

 

1.                                      CONSIDERATION.  
Consideration
for this Award is satisfied by your services to the Corporation.

 

2.                                      VESTING.  Subject to the limitations
contained herein, your Award shall vest as provided in the Grant Notice,
provided that vesting shall cease upon the termination of your Service.  Any Shares covered by this Award
Agreement that have not vested shall be forfeited upon the termination of your Service. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you elect to defer receipt of the
shares pursuant to Section 4 of this Award Agreement, then any shares
subject to this Award that would otherwise vest within the 12-month period
following the date of such election shall instead vest on the date that is 12
months following the date of your election to defer.

 

3.                                      DIVIDENDS. 
You shall be entitled
to receive cash payments equal to any cash dividends and other distributions
paid with respect to a corresponding number of Shares covered by your Award,
provided that if any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the
Fair Market Value of such Shares shall be converted into additional Shares
covered by the Award, and further provided that such additional Shares shall be
subject to the same forfeiture restrictions and restrictions on transferability
as apply to the Awards with respect to which they relate.

 

4.                                      DISTRIBUTION OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.  The
Corporation shall deliver to you a number of Shares of the Corporation’s Stock
equal to the number of vested Shares subject to your Award, including any
additional Shares received pursuant to Section 3 above, on the vesting
date or dates provided in your Grant Notice; provided
however, that if the first vesting date occurs no sooner than 12
months following the Date of Grant specified in your Grant Notice and if, within the 30-day period following the Date of Grant indicated on your
Grant Notice, you elect to defer delivery of such Shares beyond
the vesting date, then the Corporation will deliver the Shares to you on the date or dates that you so elect
(the “Settlement Date”).  If such deferral election is made, the
Board (or appropriate committee thereof) shall, in its sole discretion, establish
the rules and procedures for such payment deferrals, including, without
limitation, rules

 

 

and
procedures as may be required to cause the delivery of Shares to comply with
the distribution requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

 

5.                                      EFFECT
OF CHANGE IN CONTROL.  If (a) within
the eighteen (18) months immediately following a Change in Control your
employment is terminated by the Corporation or any successor or assign without
Cause or you resign your employment for Good Reason or (ii) the Corporation
terminates your employment without Cause during the pendency of a merger
agreement or tender offer which would result in a Change in Control, contingent
upon you providing the Corporation with a fully-effective waiver and release of
claims in a form satisfactory to the Corporation, this Award shall become
immediately and fully vested.  For
purposes of this Award Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

 

(a)                                  “Cause” for termination shall mean a termination of your
employment by the Corporation based upon a good faith determination by the
Board that one or more of the following has occurred: (a) your commission
of a material act of fraud with respect to the Corporation, (b) your
intentional refusal or willful failure to carry out the reasonable instructions
of the Board, (c) your conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, at
any time, a misdemeanor crime of moral turpitude or a felony (even if such has
occurred prior to your employment with the Corporation), (d) your gross
misconduct in connection with the performance of your duties, or (e) your
material breach of your obligations to the Corporation or any agreement between
you and the Corporation.

 

(b)                                  “Change in Control” shall mean shall mean any of the
following:

 

(i)                                    the
acquisition by any individual, entity, or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or
14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than by the Corporation or any
affiliate thereof or any affiliate of a shareholder of the Corporation
immediately prior to such acquisition, of beneficial ownership (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 50% or more
of the combined voting power or economic interests of the then outstanding
voting securities of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors;

 

(ii)                                a
change in the composition of the Board occurring within a twenty-four month
period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors of the
Board are Incumbent Directors;

 

(iii)                            a
reorganization, merger, or consolidation, in each case, with respect to which
all or substantially all of the persons that were the respective beneficial
owners of the voting securities of the Corporation immediately prior to such
reorganization, merger, or consolidation do not, following such reorganization,
merger, or consolidation, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than
50% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Corporation
resulting from such reorganization, merger, or consolidation; or

 

(iv)                               the
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Corporation in one transaction or series of related transactions.

 

 

(v)                                   Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to occur because a
majority or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation is
acquired by (a) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under one
or more employee benefit plans maintained by the Corporation or any of its
affiliates, or (b) any person that, immediately prior to such acquisition,
is owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Corporation in
approximately the same proportion as their ownership of stock in the
Corporation immediately prior to such acquisition.

 

(c)                                  “Good Reason” shall mean your resignation within ninety
(90) days of the occurrence of any one or more of the following events without
your written consent, provided that you comply with a reasonable Good Reason
process providing the Corporation with an opportunity to cure the alleged Good
Reason: (a) a material reduction in your base salary and/or target bonus
other than in connection with a Corporation-wide reduction in executive
compensation, (b) a material reduction in your benefits, other than in
connection with a Corporation-wide reduction in executive benefits, (c) a
material and significant reduction in your authority, title and/or duties
without Sufficient Basis, (d) a requirement that you relocate more than
thirty-five (35) miles from your then-current office location. Notwithstanding
the foregoing sentence, your receipt of less bonus or no bonus as a result of
not meeting the relevant goals for a bonus is not a Good Reason.

 

(d)                                  “Incumbent Directors” shall mean members of the Board
who are (a) members of the Board as of the date hereof, or (b) elected,
or nominated for election, to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least
a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or
nomination.

 

(e)                                  “Sufficient Basis” shall mean a reassignment or
reduction in duties as a result of disciplinary action based upon serious
violation of Corporation policy or violation of an agreement between you and
the Corporation.

 

6.                                      CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.  In the event of any stock split, stock
dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other
event which the Board deems, in its sole discretion, to be similar
circumstances, the Board (or appropriate committee thereof) may make such
adjustments to the number and/or kind of shares of stock or securities subject
to this Award and any other provision of this Award affected by such change, as
the Board may determine in its sole discretion.

 

7.                                      COMPLIANCE WITH LAW.  Under no circumstances shall Shares or other
assets be issued or delivered to you pursuant to the provisions of this Award
Agreement unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation or its
successors, there shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements
of Federal and state securities laws, all applicable listing requirements of
any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the
Common Stock is at the time listed for trading and all other requirements of
law or of any regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such issuance and
delivery.

 

8.                                      RESTRICTIVE
LEGENDS.  The Shares issued under
your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends, if any, determined by
the Corporation.

 

 

9.                                      TRANSFERABILITY.  Your Award is not transferable, except by
will or by the laws of inheritance. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, by delivering written notice to the
Corporation, in a form satisfactory to the Corporation, you may designate a
third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to
receive any distribution of Shares pursuant to Section 4 of this Award
Agreement.

 

10.                               AT WILL EMPLOYMENT.  Nothing in this Award Agreement or in the
Plan shall confer upon you any right to continue in Service for any period of
specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way your
rights, or the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing
or retaining you), which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to
terminate your Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

 

11.                               UNSECURED OBLIGATION.  Your
Award is unfunded, and as a holder of vested Award, you shall be considered an
unsecured creditor of the Corporation with respect to the Corporation’s
obligation, if any, to issue Shares pursuant to this Award Agreement.  You shall not have voting or any other
rights as a stockholder of the Corporation with respect to the Shares purchased
pursuant to this Award Agreement until such Shares are issued to you pursuant
to Section 4 of this Award Agreement.  
Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a
stockholder of the Corporation.  Nothing
contained in this Award Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its
provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a
fiduciary relationship between you and the Corporation or any other person.

 

12.                               WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.

 

(a)                                  On or before the time you receive a distribution
of Shares pursuant to your Award, or at any time thereafter as requested by the
Corporation, you hereby authorize any required withholding from, at the
Corporation’s election, the Shares, 
payroll and any other amounts payable to you and otherwise agree to make
adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local
and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Corporation or a Subsidiary, if
any, which arise in connection with your Award.

 

(b)                                  Unless the tax withholding obligations of the
Corporation and/or any Subsidiary are satisfied, the Corporation shall have no
obligation to issue a certificate for such Shares.

 

13.                               NOTICES.  Any notice required to be
given under this Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed
effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, registered
or certified, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party entitled to
such notice at the address indicated below such party’s signature line on this
Award Agreement or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days
advance written notice under this paragraph to all other parties to this Award
Agreement.

 

14.                               HEADINGS.  The headings of the Sections in this Award
Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to
constitute a part of this Award Agreement or to affect the meaning of this Award
Agreement.

 

 

15.                               AMENDMENT.  This Award Agreement may be amended only
by a writing executed by the Corporation and you which specifically states that
it is amending this Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Award
Agreement may be amended solely by the Board (or appropriate committee thereof)
by a writing which specifically states that it is amending this Award
Agreement, so long as a copy of such amendment is delivered to you, and
provided that no such amendment adversely affecting your rights hereunder may
be made without your written consent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Board
(or appropriate committee thereof) reserves the right to change, by written
notice to you, the provisions of this Award Agreement in any way it may deem necessary
or advisable to carry out the purpose of the grant as a result of any change in
applicable laws or regulations or any future law, regulation, ruling, or
judicial decision, provided that any such change shall be applicable only to
rights relating to that portion of the Delayed Issuance Stock Purchase which is
then subject to restrictions as provided herein.

 

16.                               MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)                                  The
rights and obligations of the Corporation under your Award shall be
transferable by the Corporation to any one or more persons or entities, and all
covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be
enforceable by the Corporation’s successors and assigns.

 

(b)                                  You
agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or
desirable in the sole determination of the Corporation to carry out the
purposes or intent of your Award.

 

(c)                                  You
acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its entirety, have
had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing and
accepting your Award and fully understand all provisions of your Award.

 

(d)                                  This
Award Agreement shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and
regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national
securities exchanges as may be required.

 

(e)                                  All
obligations of the Corporation under the Plan and this Award Agreement shall be
binding on any successor to the Corporation, whether the existence of such
successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation,
or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Corporation.

 

17.                               GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENT.  Your
Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are
hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all
interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to
time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of your Award and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan
shall control; provided, however,
that Section 4 of this Award Agreement shall govern the timing of any
distribution of Shares under your Award; and provided
further, however, that Section 5 of this Award Agreement shall
govern the timing of any such distribution in the event of a Change in

 

 

Control.  The
Board (or appropriate committee thereof) shall have the power to interpret the
Plan and this Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the
administration, interpretation, and application of the Plan as are consistent
therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules. All actions taken and all
interpretations and determinations made by the Board (or appropriate committee
thereof) shall be final and binding upon you, the Corporation, and all other
interested persons. No member of the Board or committee of the Board shall be
personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation made in good
faith with respect to the Plan or this Award Agreement.

 

18.                               EFFECT ON OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS.  The value of the Delayed Issuance
Stock Issuance Award subject to this Award Agreement shall not be included as
compensation, earnings, salaries, or other similar terms used when calculating
the Employee’s benefits under any employee benefit plan sponsored by the
Corporation or any Subsidiary except as such plan otherwise expressly provides.
The Corporation expressly reserves its rights to amend, modify, or terminate
any of the Corporation’s or any Subsidiary’s employee benefit plans.

 

19.                               GOVERNING LAW.  This Award Agreement shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without
resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.

 

20.                               SEVERABILITY.  If all or any part of this Award Agreement or
the Plan is declared by any court or governmental authority to be unlawful or
invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity shall not invalidate any portion of
this Award Agreement or the Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid. Any Section of
this Award Agreement (or part of such a Section) so declared to be unlawful or
invalid shall, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to
the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent
possible while remaining lawful and valid.

•                  If no Settlement
Date is elected, then the issuance of vested Shares will occur upon the vesting
date(s) indicated on your Grant Notice.

•                  Notwithstanding
any provision in this Election Form or your Grant Notice, Award Agreement
or the Plan to the contrary, the issuance of the vested Shares shall be made in
a manner that complies with the requirements of Code Section 409A, which
may include, without limitation, deferring the payment of such benefit for six (6) months
after your termination of Service, provided however, that nothing in this
paragraph shall require the payment of benefits to you earlier than they
would otherwise be payable under the Award.

•                  If a calendar
year only is elected, but not a specific day or month, then the issuance of the
vested Shares will occur upon the earliest date in the calendar year when you
may sell the shares on the open market without violating the Corporation’s
insider trading policy or the Corporation’s window trading policy.

 

Manner of Transfer

 

All
of the Shares you are entitled to receive on the Settlement Date specified in
this Election Agreement will be transferred to you on or as soon as practicable
after such Settlement Date.

 

 

Terms and
Conditions

 

By signing this form, you hereby acknowledge your understanding and
acceptance of the following:

 

l.                            Corporation Right to Early Transfer.  Notwithstanding any election made herein, the
Corporation or any Subsidiary reserves the right to transfer to you all of the
vested and then unissued Shares associated with the Delayed Issuance Stock
Issuance Award subject to this Election Agreement at any time following the
termination of your employment with the Corporation or any Subsidiary.

 

2.                         Withholding.  The Corporation shall have the right to
deduct from all deferrals or payments hereunder, any federal, state, or local
tax required by law to be withheld.

 

3.                         Nonassignable.  Your rights and interests under this Election
Agreement may not be assigned, pledged, or transferred by you other than as
provided in the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan of Websense, Inc.

 

4.                         Bookkeeping Account.  The Corporation will establish a bookkeeping
account to reflect the number of Shares that you acquired pursuant to your
Delayed Issuance Stock Issuance Award and the Fair Market Value of such Shares
that are subject to this Election Agreement.

 

5.                         Stock Certificates.  Share certificates (each, a “Certificate”)
evidencing the issuance of the Shares pursuant to your Delayed Issuance Stock
Issuance Award shall be issued to you as of the applicable Settlement Dates (or
such earlier date payment is to be made pursuant to this Election Agreement)
and shall be registered in your name. Subject to the withholding requirements
outlined above, Certificates representing the unrestricted Shares will be
delivered to you as soon as practicable after the Settlement Date.

 

6.                           Change in Control.  As
used in this Election Agreement, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning
contained in the Award Agreement; provided
however, that a distribution upon a Change in Control shall only
occur if such distribution complies with the distribution requirements of Code Section 409A
and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

 

7.                         Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and
administered according to the laws of the State of California.

of and agreement with all the terms and provisions set forth in this Election
Agreement.

Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate
Optionee’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 

RECITALS

 

A.                                   Optionee has not previously been an employee
or a non-employee member of the Corporation’s Board.

 

B.                                     Consistent with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv),
the Corporation has  made the promise of
a stock option to Optionee as an inducement material to Optionee’s entering
into Service with the Corporation.

 

C.                                     Optionee
is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a Parent or Subsidiary),
and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the
purposes of, the Corporation’s grant of an option to Optionee.

 

D.                                    All
capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in
the attached Appendix.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

1.                                       Grant of Option. The Corporation
hereby grants to Optionee, as of the Grant Date, a Non-Statutory Option to
purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in the Grant Notice. The
Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time during the option term
specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price.

 

2.                                       Option Term. This option shall
expire at the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner
terminated in accordance with Paragraph 5 or 6.

 

3.                                       Limited Transferability.

 

(a)                                  This option shall be neither
transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or the laws of
inheritance following Optionee’s death and may be exercised, during
Optionee’s lifetime, only by Optionee. However, Optionee may  designate
one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of this option, and
this option shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be
transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death
while holding this option. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the
transferred option subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including (without limitation) the limited time period during which this option
may, pursuant to Paragraph 5, be exercised following Optionee’s death.

 

(b)                                 In addition, to the extent that such
action is permitted by the Board and is consistent with applicable securities
laws, this option may be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee’s
lifetime to one or more members of Optionee’s family or to a trust established

 

 

for the
exclusive benefit of one or more such family members or to Optionee’s former
spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s
estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion
shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary
interest in the option pursuant to such assignment. The terms applicable to the
assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this option
immediately prior to such assignment.

 

4.                                       Dates of Exercise. This option
shall become exercisable for the Option Shares in one or more installments as
specified in the Grant Notice. As the option becomes exercisable for such
installments, those installments shall accumulate, and the option shall remain
exercisable for the accumulated installments until the Expiration Date or
sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 5 or 6.

 

5.                                       Cessation of Service. The option
term specified in Paragraph 2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to
be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following
provisions become applicable:

 

(a)                                  Should Optionee cease to remain in
Service for any reason (other than death, Permanent Disability or Misconduct)
while holding this option, then Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months
(commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to
exercise this option, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any
time after the Expiration Date.

 

(b)                                 Should Optionee die while holding
this option, then the personal representative of Optionee’s estate or the
person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee’s will
or the laws of inheritance shall have the right to exercise this option.
However, if Optionee has designated one or more beneficiaries of this option,
then those persons shall have the exclusive right to exercise this option
following Optionee’s death. Any such right to exercise this option shall lapse,
and this option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (i) the
expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s
death or (ii) the Expiration Date.

 

(c)                                  Should Optionee cease Service by
reason of Permanent Disability while holding this option, then Optionee shall
have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation
of Service) during which to exercise this option. In no event shall this option
be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

 

(d)                                 During the limited period of
post-Service exercisability, this option may not be exercised in the
aggregate for more than the number of Option Shares for which the option is
exercisable at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service. Upon the expiration
of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this
option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any exercisable Option
Shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, this option shall,
immediately upon Optionee’s cessation of Service for any reason, terminate and
cease to be outstanding with respect to any Option Shares for which this option
is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

 

2

 

 

(e)                                  Should Optionee’s Service be
terminated for Misconduct or should Optionee otherwise engage in any Misconduct
while this option is outstanding, then this option shall terminate immediately
and cease to remain outstanding.

 

6.                                       Special
Acceleration of Option. If (a) within the
eighteen (18) months immediately following a Change in Control your employment
is terminated by the Corporation or any successor or assign without Cause or
you resign your employment for Good Reason or (ii) the Corporation
terminates your employment without Cause during the pendency of a merger
agreement or tender offer which would result in a Change in Control, contingent
upon you providing the Corporation with a fully-effective waiver and release of
claims in a form satisfactory to the Corporation, this option, to the
extent outstanding at the time of a Change in Control but not otherwise fully
exercisable, shall automatically accelerate so that this option shall,
immediately prior to the Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the
Option Shares at the time subject to this option and may be exercised for
any or all of those Option Shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. This
Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation 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.

 

7.                                       Adjustment
in Option Shares. Should any change be made to the
Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of
consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the total
number and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the
Exercise Price in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution
or enlargement of benefits hereunder.

 

8.                                       Stockholder Rights. The holder of
this option shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the Option
Shares until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the Exercise
Price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares.

 

9.                                       Manner of Exercising Option.

 

(a)                                  In order to exercise this option
with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this option
is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising
the option) must take the following actions:

 

(i)                                     Execute and deliver to the
Corporation a Notice of Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is
exercised.

 

(ii)                                  Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for
the purchased shares in one or more of the following forms:

 

(A)                              cash
or check made payable to the Corporation;

 

3

 

 

(B)                                shares
of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the
option) for the requisite period necessary to avoid an additional charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial
reporting purposes over that recognized
at the date of grant and
valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date; or

 

(C)                                if
previously authorized by the Board, in its sole discretion, through a special
sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person
or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable
instructions (i) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the
immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the
sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the
aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable
Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by
the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (ii) to the Corporation to
deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage
firm in order to complete the sale.

 

Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure
is utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise
Price must accompany the Notice of Exercise delivered to the Corporation in
connection with the option exercise.

 

(iii)                               Furnish to the Corporation
appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the option (if
other than Optionee) have the right to exercise this option.

 

(iv)                              Make appropriate arrangements with
the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for
the satisfaction of all Federal, state and local income and employment tax
withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise.

 

(b)                                 As soon as practical after the
Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any
other person or persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased
Option Shares, with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

 

(c)                                  In no event may this option be
exercised for any fractional shares.

 

10.                                 Compliance
with Laws and Regulations.

 

(a)                                  The exercise of this option and the
issuance of the Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance
by the Corporation and Optionee with all applicable requirements of law
relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or
the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be
listed for trading at the time of such exercise and issuance.

 

4

 

 

(b)                                 The inability of the Corporation to
obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the
Corporation to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock
pursuant to this option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with
respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such
approval shall not have been obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its
best efforts to obtain all such approvals.

 

11.                                 Successors and Assigns. Except to
the extent otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation
and its successors and assigns and Optionee, Optionee’s assigns, the legal
representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionee’s estate and any beneficiaries
of this option designated by Optionee.

 

12.                                 Notices. Any notice required to be
given or delivered to the Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall
be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal corporate
offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in
writing and addressed to Optionee at the address indicated below Optionee’s
signature line on the Grant Notice. All notices shall be deemed effective upon
personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and
properly addressed to the party to be notified.

 

13.                                 Construction. All decisions of the
Board with respect to any question or issue arising under this Agreement shall
be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option.

 

14.                                 Governing Law. The interpretation,
performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.

NOTICE OF EXERCISE

 

I hereby notify Websense, Inc.

shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”) at the option
exercise price of $                          per
share (the “Exercise Price”) pursuant to that certain option (the “Option”)
granted to me on                                     ,
              .

 

Concurrently with the
delivery of this Exercise Notice to the Corporation, I shall hereby pay to the
Corporation the Exercise Price for the Purchased Shares in accordance with the
provisions of my agreement with the Corporation (or other documents) evidencing
the Option and shall deliver whatever additional documents may be required
by such agreement as a condition for exercise. Alternatively, if previously
authorized by the Board, in its sole discretion, I may utilize the special
broker-dealer sale and remittance procedure specified in my agreement to effect
payment of the Exercise Price.

THIS DOCUMENT CONSTITUTES PART OF THE
OFFICIAL PROSPECTUS COVERING SECURITIES THAT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.

 

Websense, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”), is offering shares of its common
stock (the “Common Stock”) to eligible individuals pursuant to special
inducement non-statutory stock option grants. The purpose of the grants is to
offer persons who have not previously been employees or directors of the
Corporation, or following a bona fide period of non-employment (“New Hires”)
the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in the Corporation as an
inducement material to such persons entering into employment with the
Corporation. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to the
Corporation in this Summary and Prospectus include Websense, Inc. and its
parent and subsidiary corporations, whether now existing or subsequently
established.

 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE OPTION GRANTS

 

This Summary and
Prospectus sets forth in question and answer format the principal terms of the
option grants which may be made from time to time to New Hires as an
inducement material to such individuals entering into employment with the
Corporation, including individuals who will commence providing services to the
Corporation as executive officers of the Corporation or Board members subject
to the short-swing profit restrictions of Section 16(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”). Such individuals will be referred to in
this document as “Section 16 Insiders.”

 

GRANT OF OPTIONS

 

1.                                      How are options granted?

 

The Board has complete
discretion to determine when and to whom options will be granted and the terms
of each such grant. Your option grant will be evidenced by one or more option
documents (collectively, the “Option Agreement”) executed by the Corporation
and you.

 

2.                                      How is the exercise price
determined?

 

The exercise price of
your option will be determined by the Board.

 

3.                                      How is the fair market value of
the Common Stock determined?

 

The fair market value per
share of Common Stock on any relevant date will be the closing selling price
per share on that date, as reported on the Nasdaq National Market and published
in The Wall Street Journal. If the Common Stock is not traded on that
day, the fair market value will be the closing selling price per share on the
last preceding date for which such quotation exists.

 

4.                                      What type of option have I been
granted?

 

You have been granted a
non-statutory stock option that is not
intended to satisfy the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 422
to be an “Incentive Stock Option.”  For
information about the tax consequences of your option transactions, see the “Questions
and Answers on Federal Tax Consequences” section below.

 

5.                                      Can the Corporation cancel my
option and grant me a new option?

 

Yes. The Board has the
authority to cancel outstanding options and to issue new options in replacement,
but your consent will be required in connection with your participation in any
such cancellation/regrant program. The new options can cover the same or a
different number of shares of Common Stock and will have an

 

 

exercise price per
share not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the new grant
date. In addition, it is likely that the new options will have a vesting schedule based
on the new grant date, without any credit provided for the period the cancelled
options were outstanding.

 

6.                                      Can I assign or transfer my
option?

 

Generally, no. Your
option generally cannot be assigned or transferred, except by the provisions of
your will or the laws of inheritance following your death or pursuant to any
beneficiary designation you have in effect for your option at the time of your
death. However, to the extent permitted by the Board, your option will be assignable in
whole or in part during your lifetime to one or more members of your
immediate family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such
family members or to your former spouse. The assigned portion may only be
exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the
option pursuant to the assignment. No such assignment will be permitted,
however, unless it is effected in connection with your estate plan or pursuant
to a domestic relations order.

 

7.                                      When do I acquire the rights of a
stockholder?

 

You will not have any
stockholder rights with respect to the option shares. You will not acquire
stockholder rights until you exercise the option, pay the exercise price and
become a holder of record of the purchased shares.

 

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

 

8.                                      When may I exercise my
option?

 

Your option will become
exercisable for the option shares in a series of installments over the
period that you remain in the Corporation’s service. The exercise schedule applicable
to your option will be determined by the Board at the time of grant and will be
set forth in the Option Agreement. You may exercise your option at any
time for the shares for which your option is exercisable, provided you do so
before the option terminates.

 

9.                                      When will my option terminate?

 

The actual expiration
date of your option will be set forth in the Option Agreement. Your option may,
however, terminate prior to its designated expiration date in the event of your
termination of service or upon the occurrence of certain other events. See the “Early
Termination of Options” section below.

 

10.                               How do I exercise my option?

 

To exercise your option,
you must provide the Corporation with written notice of the exercise in which
you indicate the number of shares to be purchased under your option. The notice
must be accompanied by payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares,
together with appropriate proof that the person exercising the option (if other
than yourself) has the right to effect such exercise. You will be required to
satisfy all applicable income and employment tax withholding requirements at
that time. For information about such tax withholding, see the “Questions and
Answers on Federal Tax Consequences” section below.

 

11.                               How do I pay the exercise price?

 

The exercise price may be
paid in cash or check payable to the Corporation or in shares of Common Stock.
Any shares delivered in payment of the exercise price will be valued at fair
market value on the exercise date and must have been held for the requisite
period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial
reporting purposes (generally a six (6)-month period).

The Board may, in its
sole discretion, elect to allow you to use a cashless exercise procedure to
exercise your option. To use this procedure, you must provide irrevocable
instructions to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate
sale of the vested shares of Common Stock purchased under your option and to
pay over to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the
settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable
for the purchased shares plus all applicable withholding taxes. Concurrently
with such instructions, you must also direct the Corporation to deliver the
certificates for the purchased shares to the brokerage firm in order to complete
the sale.

 

12.                               Can my tax withholding
obligations upon exercise of my option be satisfied from the shares of Common
Stock purchased under my option?

 

The Board may, in its
sole discretion, elect to allow you to have the Corporation withhold, from the
shares of Common Stock purchased under your option, a portion of those shares
with a fair market value equal to a designated percentage (not to exceed one
hundred percent (100%)) of the federal, state and local income and employment
withholding taxes to which you may become subject in connection with the
exercise of your option. In lieu of such direct withholding, the Board may allow
you to deliver previously acquired shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of
the withholding tax liability. However, no shares of Common Stock will actually
be withheld or accepted in satisfaction of such withholding tax liability
except to the extent approved by the Board, and any such withheld or delivered
shares will be valued at fair market value on the date of the option exercise.

 

EARLY TERMINATION OF OPTIONS

 

13.                               What happens to my options if my
service terminates?

 

After your termination of
service for any reason other than death, disability or Misconduct (as defined
below in Question 14), you will have a limited period of time in which to
exercise your outstanding options for any shares of Common Stock in which you
are vested on the date your service terminates. The length of this period will
be set forth in your Option Agreement and will generally not be in excess of
three (3) months. However, your option will in all events terminate on the
specified expiration date of the option term. To the extent your options are
not exercisable for one or more vested shares at the time of your termination
of service, your options will immediately terminate and cease to be outstanding
with respect to those unvested shares.

 

Unless your Option
Agreement specifically provides otherwise, you will be deemed to continue in
service for so long as you render services to the Corporation, whether as (i) an
employee, subject to the control and direction of the employer entity as to
both the work to be performed and the manner and method of performance, (ii) a
non-employee Board member or (iii) a consultant or other independent
advisor.

 

The Board has the
discretion to extend the period during which you may exercise one or more
of your options following your termination of service and/or to permit such
options to be exercised not only with respect to the number of shares of Common
Stock in which you are at the time vested but also with respect to one or more
additional installments in which you would have vested had you continued in
service. You will be notified in writing in the event the Board decides to
provide you with any of those additional benefits.

 

14.                               What happens to my options if I
am discharged from service for Misconduct?

 

Should you be discharged
from service for Misconduct or otherwise engage in Misconduct while your
options are outstanding, then all of your outstanding options will immediately
terminate. Misconduct includes (i) any
act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty, (ii) any unauthorized use or
disclosure of confidential information or trade secrets of the Corporation, or (iii) any
other intentional misconduct adversely affecting the business or affairs of the
Corporation in a material manner. However, the foregoing list is not inclusive
of all the acts or omissions which may be considered as grounds for
dismissal or discharge of any individual in the Corporation’s service.

 

3

 

15.                               What happens to my options if I
die or become disabled?

 

If you die while any of
your options are outstanding, the personal representative of your estate or the
person or persons to whom the options are transferred by the provisions of your
will or the laws of inheritance or pursuant to the beneficiary designation you
have in effect for those options may exercise each of those options for
any or all vested shares of Common Stock for which the option was exercisable
on the date your service with the Corporation terminated, less any shares you may have
subsequently purchased prior to your death. The right to exercise each such
option will lapse upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the
option term or (ii) the first anniversary of the date of your death.

 

If you terminate your
service with the Corporation because you become permanently disabled, you will
normally have a period of twelve (12) months from such termination date during
which to exercise your options for any or all of the vested shares for which
those options were exercisable at the time of such termination. In no event,
however, may you exercise any option after the specified expiration of the
option term. For purposes of your option grant, you will be deemed to be permanently disabled if you are unable to perform any
substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically-determinable physical
or mental impairment expected to result in death or to be of continuous
duration of twelve (12) consecutive months or more.

 

16.                               What happens to my options if the
Corporation is acquired or merged?

 

In the event of a
Corporate Transaction, your option will automatically vest on an accelerated
basis so that your option will, immediately prior to the effective date of the
Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at
the time subject to that option and may be exercised for any or all of
those shares as fully-vested shares. However, your option will not vest and become exercisable on such an accelerated
basis, if and to the extent: (i) the option is assumed by the successor
corporation, (ii) such option is replaced with a cash incentive program
which preserves the option spread existing on the unvested shares subject to
the option at the time of the Corporate Transaction and provides for subsequent
payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those
option shares or (iii) the acceleration of the option is subject to other
limitations imposed by the Board in the Option Agreement.

 

Your option will, to the
extent not assumed by the successor corporation, terminate and cease to be
outstanding immediately following the completion of the Corporate Transaction.

 

A Corporate
Transaction will be deemed to occur upon (i) a merger or
consolidation in which securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of
the total combined voting power of the Corporation’s outstanding securities are
transferred to a person or persons different from the persons holding those
securities immediately prior to such transaction or (ii) a sale, transfer
or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Corporation
in liquidation or dissolution of the Corporation.

 

17.                               What happens to my options that
are assumed upon a Corporate Transaction?

 

If your option is assumed
by a successor corporation in a Corporation Transaction, then your option will,
immediately after the Corporate Transaction, be appropriately adjusted to apply
to the number and class of securities which would have been issued to you
in consummation of the Corporate Transaction had your option been exercised
immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments will
also be made to the exercise price payable per share under your assumed option,
provided the aggregate exercise price for the option shares will remain
the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding
Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation
of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with
the assumption of your option, substitute one or more shares of its own common
stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per
share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction.

 

The Board may structure one or more options so that
those options will immediately vest and become exercisable for all the option
shares as fully vested shares upon an Involuntary Termination of the

 

4

 

optionee’s
service within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months)
following the effective date of a Corporate Transaction in which the options
are assumed or are otherwise continued in effect. You should review your Option
Agreement to determine whether the options you hold will in fact accelerate
upon such an Involuntary Termination.

 

An Involuntary Termination will be deemed to occur upon (i) the
optionee’s involuntary dismissal or discharge by the Corporation for reasons
other than Misconduct or (ii) such individual’s voluntary resignation
following (A) a change in his or her position with the Corporation which
materially reduces his or her duties and responsibilities or the level of
management to which he or she reports, (B) a reduction in his or her level
of compensation (including base salary, fringe benefits and target bonus under
any corporate performance-based bonus or incentive programs) by more than
fifteen percent (15%) or (C) a relocation of such individual’s place of
employment by more than fifty (50) miles, provided and only if such change,
reduction or relocation is effected by the Corporation without the optionee’s
consent.

 

18.                               What happens to my options if
there is a change in control of the Corporation?

 

The Board may structure one or more options so that
those options will immediately vest and become exercisable for all the option
shares as fully vested shares either upon the occurrence of a Change in Control
or upon an Involuntary Termination of the optionee’s service within a
designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective
date of that Change in Control. You should review your Option Agreement to
determine whether the options you hold will in fact accelerate upon a Change in
Control or your subsequent Involuntary Termination.

 

A Change in Control will be deemed to occur in the event (i) any
person directly or indirectly acquires securities possessing more than fifty
percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Corporation’s
outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made directly to
the Corporation’s stockholders or (ii) there is a change in the
composition of the Board over a period of thirty-six (36) consecutive months or
less such that a majority of the Board ceases, by reason of one or more
contested elections for Board membership, to be comprised of individuals who
either (A) have been Board members continuously since the beginning of
such period or (B) have been elected or nominated for election as Board
members during such period by at least a majority of the Board members
described in clause (A) who were still in office at the time such election
or nomination was approved by the Board.

 

DISPOSITION OF SHARES

 

19.                               When can I sell my shares
acquired pursuant to the exercise of my option?

 

If you are a Section 16
Insider, you will be subject to certain restrictions in connection with your
option grant. These restrictions are described in detail in the “Restrictions
on Resale” section below.

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

20.                               Is financing available?

 

As
a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Company may no longer
allow Section 16 Insiders to finance their acquisition of shares of Common
Stock through the use of promissory notes. However, if you are not a Section 16
Insider, the Board may assist you in the acquisition of shares of
Common Stock by permitting you to pay the purchase price for the shares through
a promissory note payable in one or more installments. The terms of any such
promissory note, including the interest rate and terms of repayment, will be
established in the sole discretion of the Board. Promissory notes will be made
on a full-recourse basis, and the maximum credit available to you may not
exceed the purchase price payable for the acquired shares plus any withholding
tax liability incurred by you in connection with such acquisition. In addition,
the Corporation will comply with all applicable requirements of Regulation U of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System in connection with any
financing extended to you.

21.                               Do I have the right to remain
employed until my options vest?

 

No. Nothing in any
option grant is intended to provide any person with the right to remain in the
Corporation’s service for any specific period, and both you and the Corporation
will each have the right to terminate your service at any time and for any
reason, with or without cause.

 

22.                               Are there any circumstances which
would cause me to lose my rights with respect to an option grant?

 

Yes. The grant of options
and the issuance of Common Stock under such options are subject to the
Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory
authorities having jurisdiction over the Corporation’s grant of options. It is
possible that the Corporation could be prevented from granting options or from
issuing shares of Common Stock in the event one or more required approvals or
permits were not obtained.

 

23.                               Does the grant of an option
affect my eligibility to participate in stock plans or other compensatory plans
of the Corporation?

 

No. Option grants do
not in any way affect, limit or restrict your eligibility to participate in any
other stock plan or other compensation or benefit plan or program maintained by
the Corporation.

 

24.                               What is a parent corporation?

 

A corporation is a parent
corporation if such corporation owns, directly or indirectly, stock possessing
fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of the
Corporation’s outstanding securities.

 

25.                               What is a subsidiary corporation?

 

A corporation is a
subsidiary corporation if the Corporation owns, directly or indirectly, stock
possessing fifty percent (50%) or more of the total combined voting power of
the outstanding securities of that corporation.

 

26.                               What shares of Common Stock will
be issued to me upon exercise of my option?

 

The Common Stock will be
made available either from authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or
from shares of Common Stock reacquired by the Corporation, including shares
repurchased on the open market.

 

27.                               What happens if there is a change
in the Corporation’s capital structure?

 

In the event of a
Recapitalization, appropriate adjustments will automatically be made to the
number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in
effect under your outstanding options. The adjustments to your outstanding
options will preclude the dilution or enlargement of your rights and benefits
available under those options.

 

A Recapitalization will
include any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination of
shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common
Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration.

 

28.                               Can my option be amended or
terminated?

 

Yes. However, no
amendment or modification may, without your consent, adversely affect your
rights and obligations under your outstanding stock options.

RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE

 

29.                               What restrictions apply if I am a
Section 16 Insider?

 

Section 16(b) of
the 1934 Act requires the Corporation to recover any profit realized by any
officer, director or beneficial owner of more than ten percent (10%) of the
outstanding Common Stock (a “Section 16 Insider”) from any purchase and
sale, or sale and purchase, of such Common Stock made within a period of less
than six (6) months.

 

The Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has issued a series of revised rules under
Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act which govern the short-swing liability
treatment of certain transactions effected by a Section 16 Insider under
equity incentive plans. The application of those rules to option
transactions may be summarized as follows.

 

Option Grant.
The receipt of an option grant will not be treated as an exempt “purchase” of
the underlying option shares for short-swing liability purposes.

 

Option Exercise.
The exercise of an option will be an exempt purchase so that it will not be
treated as a “purchase” of the acquired shares for short-swing liability
purposes.

 

Delivery of Shares.
The delivery of shares of Common Stock in payment of the exercise price will be
treated as an exempt sale for short-swing liability purposes.

 

Stock Withholding.
The withholding of a portion of the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable
to the Section 16 Insider by the Corporation in satisfaction of the
withholding taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of his or her
outstanding option will be treated as an exempt sale for short-swing liability purposes
if such withholding is approved by the Board at the time of the option exercise
or at any earlier time. The delivery of shares of Common Stock out of the Section 16
Insider’s existing investment portfolio in satisfaction of the applicable tax
withholding liability similarly will be treated as an exempt sale for
short-swing liability purposes if approved by the Board.

 

Sale of Shares.
The sale of any shares acquired will be treated as a “sale” for short-swing
liability purposes and will be matched with any non-exempt purchases of Common
Stock (e.g. open-market purchases) made within six (6) months before or
after the date of such sale.

 

Reporting Requirements

 

As
a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, each of the following transactions
involving the Section 16 Insider must be reported on a Form 4 filed
by such individual no later than the close of
the second business day following the date on which such transaction occurs:

 

•                                          Receipt of
option grant

•                                          Exercise of
option grant, whether or not the acquired
shares are sold immediately

•                                          Sale of
Common Stock acquired upon option exercise

 

If the exercise price is
paid with shares of Common Stock, then the disposition of those shares should
also be reported on the same Form 4 for the option exercise.

 

When shares of Common
Stock are withheld in satisfaction of applicable withholding taxes, the Section 16
Insider should report the gross number of shares acquired upon the exercise of
the option (including the withheld shares) on the Form 4 reporting the option
exercise and should also report the disposition of the withheld shares on that
same Form 4 on which the option exercise is reported.

 

7

 

30.                               What restrictions apply if I am
an affiliate?

 

In general, persons with
power to manage and direct the policies of the Corporation, their relatives and
trusts, estates, corporations or other entities controlled by any of those
persons may be deemed to be affiliates of the Corporation. Affiliates of
the Corporation are obligated to resell their shares of Common Stock in
compliance with SEC Rule 144. This rule requires such sales to be
effected in “brokers’ transactions,” as defined in the rule, and a written
notice of each sale must be filed with the SEC at the time of such sale. The rule also
limits the number of shares which may be sold in any three (3)-month
period to the greater of (i) one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock or (ii) the average weekly reported volume of trading in such
shares on all securities exchanges during the four (4) calendar weeks
preceding the filing of the required notice of proposed sale. However, there
will be no Rule 144 holding period requirements applicable to the shares
of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of your option.

 

As an officer or director of the
Corporation, you should consult with counsel before offering for sale any
shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an option in order
to assure your compliance with Rule 144, Section 16 and all other
applicable provisions of federal and state securities laws.

 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES

 

CIRCULAR
230 DISCLAIMER. THE FOLLOWING DISCLAIMER IS PROVIDED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE’S CIRCULAR 230 (21 C.F.R. PART 10).
THIS ADVICE IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE USED, AND IT CANNOT BE USED BY YOU
FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING ANY PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON YOU. THIS
ADVICE WAS WRITTEN TO SUPPORT THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF PARTICIPATION IN
THE COMPANY’S EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS. YOU SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON YOUR
PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM AN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISOR.

 

The following is a
general description of the United States federal income tax consequences of
certain option transactions. You should
understand, however, that this tax information is not complete. For example, it
does not address state or local tax laws or the application of laws if you are
subject to tax laws in other countries. Furthermore, because tax
laws and regulations may change, and interpretations of these laws and
regulations can change the way the laws and regulations apply to you, this
information may need to be updated after the delivery of this prospectus. Therefore, you should consult with a tax advisor if
you have questions relating to the tax consequences of participation in, and
the sale of shares received under the Plan.

 

T1.                              Will
the grant of a non-statutory option result in federal income tax liability to
me?

 

No.

 

T2.                              Will
the exercise of a non-statutory option result in federal income tax liability
to me?

 

You will recognize
ordinary income in the year in which your non-statutory option is exercised in
an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the
purchased shares on the exercise date over (ii) the exercise price paid
for those shares. This income will be reported by the Corporation on your W-2
wage statement for the year of exercise (or on a Form 1099 if you are not
an employee), and you will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements
applicable to this income.

 

T3.                              Will
I recognize additional income when I sell shares acquired under a non-statutory
option?

 

Yes. You will recognize a
capital gain to the extent the amount realized upon the sale of such shares
exceeds their fair market value at the time you recognized the ordinary income
with respect to their acquisition. A capital loss will result to the extent the
amount realized upon the sale is less than such fair market value. The gain or
loss will be long-term if the shares are held for more than one (1) year
prior to the disposition.

 

8

 

(Please see
Question T6 below for the tax rates applicable to capital gain.)  The holding period normally starts at the
time the non-statutory option is exercised.

 

T4.                              What
are the consequences of paying the exercise price of a non-statutory option in
the form of shares of Common Stock previously acquired upon the exercise
of employee options or through open-market purchases?

 

You will not recognize
any taxable income to the extent the shares of Common Stock received upon the
exercise of the non-statutory option equal in number the shares of Common Stock
delivered in payment of the exercise price. For Federal income tax purposes,
these newly-acquired shares will have the same basis and capital gain holding
period as the delivered shares. To the extent the delivered shares were
acquired under an Incentive Option, the new shares received upon the exercise
of the non-statutory option will continue to be subject to taxation as
Incentive Option shares.

 

The additional shares of
Common Stock received upon the exercise of the non-statutory option will, in
general, have to be reported as ordinary income for the year of exercise in an
amount equal to their fair market value on the exercise date. These additional
shares will have a tax basis equal to such fair market value and a capital gain
holding period measured (in general) from the exercise date.

 

T5.                              What
are the federal tax consequences to the Corporation?

 

The Corporation will be
entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income you
recognize in connection with the exercise of the non-statutory option. The
deduction will, in general, be allowed for the taxable year of the Corporation
in which you recognize such ordinary income.

 

FEDERAL TAX RATES

 

T6.                              What
are the applicable federal tax rates?

 

Currently, the maximum
marginal federal income tax rate applicable to ordinary income and short-term
capital gain is 35% for 2005. Currently, the maximum marginal federal income
tax rate for long-term capital gain is 15%. Even lower long-term capital gain
rates may apply to taxpayers in the 15% and 10% marginal income tax
brackets.

 

Additionally, capital
gains and losses are subject to certain other provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) not
applicable to ordinary income. For example, capital gains and losses are netted
against other capital gains and losses, but only $3,000 of net capital losses may be
deducted against ordinary income in any calendar year by any individual
taxpayer. Consult your tax advisor for more
information regarding the rates and provisions that apply to you.
