Exhibit 10.1

INDEMNITY AGREEMENT

     This Indemnity Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of ___, 2006, (the
“Effective Date”) is made by and between Asthmatx, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
and ___, an individual who is a director and/or officer of the Company
(“Indemnitee”).

RECITALS

     A. The Company is aware that competent and experienced persons are increasingly reluctant to
serve as directors or officers of corporations unless they are protected by comprehensive liability
insurance and/or indemnification agreements, due to their increased exposure to litigation costs
and risks resulting from their service to such corporations, and because this exposure frequently
bears no reasonable relationship to their compensation as directors and officers.

     B. Section 145 (“Section 145”) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, under which the
Company is organized (the “Law”) empowers the Company to indemnify by agreement its officers,
directors, employees and agents, and persons who serve, at the request of the Company, as
directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations or enterprises, and expressly
provides that the indemnification provided by the Law is not exclusive.

     C. Based on their experience as business managers, the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”) has concluded that, to retain and attract talented and experienced individuals to serve as
officers and directors of the Company, and to encourage such individuals to take the business risks
necessary for the success of the Company, it is necessary for the Company contractually to
indemnify officers and directors and to assume for itself liability for expenses and damages in
connection with claims against such officers and directors in connection with their service to the
Company.

     D. The Company desires and has requested Indemnitee to serve or continue to serve as a
director or officer of the Company. The Company desires that Indemnitee be free from undue concern
regarding claims for damages arising out of or related to such services, which may impair the free
exercise of Indemnitee’s best business judgment on behalf of the Company, its subsidiaries and
other enterprises affiliated with the Company.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises made in this Agreement, the parties
hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

     1. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings defined
below:

          1.1 Affiliate. An “affiliate” of the Company means any foreign or domestic
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, firm, trust, enterprise and/or
other entity (each, an “entity”) that is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule
405 of Regulation C promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

 

          1.2 Agent. An “agent” of the Company means any individual who: (a) is or was a
director or officer of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company; (b) is or was serving at the
request of, for the convenience of, or to represent the interest of the Company or a subsidiary of
the Company as a director or officer (or in a position of comparable authority) of another entity
or of an affiliate of the Company; (c) was a director or officer of a foreign or domestic
corporation which was a predecessor corporation of the Company or a subsidiary of such predecessor
corporation; or (d) was serving as a director or officer (or a person having comparable authority)
of another entity or of an affiliate of the Company at the request of, for the convenience of, or
to represent the interests of, such predecessor corporation or a subsidiary of such predecessor
corporation.

          1.3 Change in Control. A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if,
after the Effective Date:

                (a) any “person” (as defined below) increases such person’s beneficial ownership in the
Company’s Voting Securities (as defined below) by at least twenty (20) percentage points without
the prior approval of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the Incumbent Directors in office immediately
prior to such person attaining such percentage interest;

                (b) any “person” (as defined below) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule
13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or
indirectly, of Voting Securities of the Company representing thirty
percent (30%) or more of the
total combined voting power of all the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities;

                (c) during any period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months that begins on or after the
Effective Date, the Incumbent Directors (as defined below) cease for any reason to constitute at
least two-thirds (2/3) of the members of the Board then in office (where for purposes hereof, with
respect to any particular period of twenty-four (24) consecutive months, the term “Incumbent
Directors” means (i) the individuals who at the beginning of such twenty-four (24) consecutive
month period constituted the Board and (ii) each other individual whose election or nomination for
election to the Board during such twenty-four (24) month period was approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds (2/3) of the directors in office who were either members of the Board at the beginning
of such twenty-four (24) month period or whose election or nomination for election to the Board was
approved as described in this clause (ii));

                (d) the Company is a party to a consummated merger or consolidation as a result of which the
Voting Securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto do not represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity of such
merger or consolidation or of a parent of such surviving entity), at least fifty percent (50%) of
the total combined voting power represented by the voting securities of such surviving entity or a
parent of such surviving entity immediately after consummation of such merger or consolidation; or

                (e) the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of
the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company (in one transaction or a
series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the

2

 

Company’s assets (other than a sale or disposition of all or substantially all
the Company’s assets to another entity that, immediately after such transaction is owned, directly
or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction in
substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the Company’s capital stock immediately
prior to such transaction if the acquiring entity assumes this Agreement).

          For purposes of this Section 1.3: (a) the term “person” will have the meaning given to such
term in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act except that it shall exclude (i) a trustee or
other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or (ii) a
corporation or other entity owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company); and (b) the term
“Voting Securities” of the Company means any securities of the Company that are entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors

          1.4 Company. The “Company” includes, in the event of a merger or consolidation
involving the Company, the corporation or other entity surviving or resulting from such merger or
consolidation.

          1.5 Expenses. The term “expenses” includes all direct and indirect costs of any type
or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and related disbursements
and other out-of-pocket costs) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with
the investigation, defense or appeal of, or being a witness in, a proceeding (as defined below), or
establishing or enforcing a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this
Agreement or Section 145; provided, however, that the term “expenses” shall not include any
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding.

          1.6 Independent Counsel. “Independent Counsel” means a law firm, or an
attorney-at-law, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and that is not at the time in
question, nor has been for the then-past three (3) years, retained to represent: (a) the Company
or Indemnitee in any matter material to the Company or Indemnitee; or (b) any other party to the
proceeding giving rise to a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this
Agreement with respect to which such Independent Counsel is to have involvement under this
Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the term
“Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who, under applicable standards of professional
conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or
Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement (it being
acknowledged that no such conflict of interest will be deemed to exist solely due to such law firm
or attorney-at-law (i) entering into any agreement with the Company relating to its, his or her
retention to act as Independent Counsel for purposes of this Agreement or (ii) taking any actions
contemplated as Independent Counsel under this Agreement).

          1.7 Proceeding. A “proceeding” means any threatened, pending or completed action,
lawsuit, alternative dispute resolution mechanism (including but not limited to an arbitration or
mediation) or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative.

3

 

          1.8 Subsidiary. A “subsidiary” of an entity means any corporation of which more than
fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities is owned, directly or indirectly, by (a)
such entity, (b) such entity and one or more of its other subsidiaries as defined in clause (a) of
this Section or (c) by one or more of such entity’s subsidiaries as defined in clause (a) of this
Section.

     2. Agreement to Serve. Indemnitee agrees to serve and/or to continue to serve as an officer
or director of the Company, at the will of the Company (or under separate written agreement, if any
such written agreement exists), in the capacity in which Indemnitee serves the Company as of the
Effective Date, faithfully and to the best of Indemnitee’s ability, so long as Indemnitee is duly
appointed or elected and qualified in accordance with the applicable provisions of the charter
documents of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that
Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any contractual
obligation that Indemnitee may have assumed apart from this Agreement), and the Company or any
subsidiary shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in any such
position.

     3. Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. The Company shall, to the extent that the Board
determines it to be economically reasonable, maintain a policy of directors’ and officers’
liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”), on such terms and conditions and in such coverage amounts as
may be approved by the Board from time to time.

     4. Mandatory Indemnification.

          4.1 Third Party Actions. If Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the
fact that Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company, or by reason of anything done or not done
by Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s capacity as an agent of the Company, then, subject to the provisions
of Section 8 and the exceptions set forth in Section 9, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee
against any and all expenses and liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to,
judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or
appeal of such proceeding or being a witness in such proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith
and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of
the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, Indemnitee had no reasonable
cause to believe that Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful.

          4.2 Actions by or in Right of the Company. If Indemnitee was or is a party to, or is
threatened to be made a party to, any proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company, or
by reason of anything done or not done by Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s capacity as an agent of the
Company, then, subject to the provisions of Section 8 and the exceptions set forth in Section 9,
the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any amounts paid in settlement of any such
proceeding and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the
investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of such proceeding or being a witness in such
proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee

4

 

reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company;
except that no indemnification under this Section 4.2 shall be made in respect of
any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged to be liable to
the Company by a court of competent jurisdiction due to Indemnitee’s willful misconduct of a
culpable nature in the performance of Indemnitee’s duty to the Company, unless and only to the
extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such proceeding was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the
circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
amounts which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

          4.3 Witness Expenses in Certain Proceedings. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that Indemnitee was or is, by reason of the fact that
Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company, a witness in any proceeding to which Indemnitee is
not made a party or of which Indemnitee is not the subject, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee
against all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf
solely in connection with Indemnitee’s being a witness in such proceeding (including on appeal),
and in preparing to be a witness in such proceeding without the need for any determination with
respect to Indemnitee’s conduct pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement.

          4.4 Exception for Amounts Covered by Insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall not be obligated to indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and
amounts paid in settlement) to the extent such have been paid directly to Indemnitee by D&O
Insurance. To the extent that any payment payable by the carrier of D&O Insurance in respect of
such expenses or liabilities has previously been paid or advanced to Indemnitee by the Company, the
parties agree that the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of Indemnitee to receive such
payments from the D&O Insurance carrier and that Indemnitee will take all actions reasonably
necessary to turn over or otherwise cause the Company to receive any such payment from the D&O
Insurance carrier.

     5. Partial Indemnification and Contribution.

          5.1 Partial Indemnification. If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this
Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of any expenses or liabilities of
any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or
penalties and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by Indemnitee in the investigation, defense,
settlement or appeal of a proceeding or in being a witness in a proceeding but is not entitled,
however, to indemnification for all of the total amount thereof, then the Company shall
nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for such total amount except as to the portion thereof to which
Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

          5.2 Contribution. If Indemnitee is not entitled to the indemnification provided in
Section 4 for any reason other than the statutory limitations set forth in the Law, then in respect
of any threatened, pending or completed proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with
Indemnitee (or would be if joined in such proceeding), the Company shall contribute to the amount
of expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred and paid or payable by

5

 

Indemnitee in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (a) the relative benefits received
by the Company on the one hand and Indemnitee on the other hand from the transaction from which
such proceeding arose and (b) the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of Indemnitee
on the other hand in connection with the events which resulted in such expenses, judgments, fines,
ERISA excise taxes or penalties or settlement amounts, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of Indemnitee on the other
hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent the circumstances resulting
in such expenses, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, penalties or settlement amounts. The
Company agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.2
were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account
of the foregoing equitable considerations.

     6. Mandatory Advancement of Expenses.

          6.1 Advancement. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2 and the exceptions in
Section 9 below and except as prohibited by law, the Company shall advance all expenses incurred by
Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or appeal of any proceeding to
which Indemnitee is a party or is threatened to be made a party or witness by reason of the fact
that Indemnitee is or was an agent of the Company or by reason of anything done or not done by
Indemnitee in Indemnitee’s capacity as an agent of the Company. Indemnitee hereby undertakes and
agrees to promptly repay to the Company such amounts as are so advanced by the Company to
Indemnitee only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified by the Company under the provisions of this Agreement, the
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company, the Law or otherwise with respect to the
proceeding or proceedings for which such expenses were advanced. Subject to the foregoing, the
advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee within thirty (30) days
following delivery of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company which includes
reasonable verification of the expenses incurred by Indemnitee for which an advance is sought.

          6.2 Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6.1, the Company
shall not be obligated to advance any expenses to Indemnitee arising from a lawsuit filed or
brought directly by the Company against Indemnitee or a criminal proceeding resulting from a
complaint made by the Company if an Independent Majority (as defined below) of the Board reasonably
determines in good faith, within thirty (30) days of Indemnitee’s request to be advanced such
expenses, that the facts known to them at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly
and convincingly that Indemnitee acted in bad faith with respect to the subject matter of such
lawsuit or proceeding or the facts, circumstances or events from which such lawsuit or criminal
proceeding arose (a “Section 6.2 Determination”). If such a determination that Indemnitee acted in
bad faith is made, then Indemnitee may have such decision reviewed by another forum, in the manner
set forth in Section 8, with all references therein to “indemnification” being deemed to refer to
“advancement of expenses,” and the burden of proof shall be on the Company to demonstrate clearly
and convincingly that, based on the facts known at the time, Indemnitee acted in bad faith.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company has undergone a Change in Control after the
occurrence of the acts or omissions of Indemnitee that are the primary focus of the lawsuit or
criminal proceeding in question, then the

6

 

Section 6.2 Determination with respect to such lawsuit or criminal proceeding must instead be
made in good faith by Independent Counsel selected by an Independent Majority of the Board. As used
in this Section, an “Independent Majority” of the Board means: (i) a majority of the members of
the Board other than Indemnitee (if Indemnitee is then a member of the Board); or (ii) an absolute
majority of the members of the Board if Indemnitee is not then a member of the Board.

     7. Notice and Other Indemnification Procedures.

          7.1 Notice of Proceeding. Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the
commencement of or the threat of commencement of any proceeding, Indemnitee shall, if Indemnitee
believes that indemnification with respect thereto may be sought from the Company under this
Agreement, notify the Company in writing of the commencement or threat of commencement thereof.

          7.2 Notice to D&O Insurance Carrier. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of
the commencement of a proceeding pursuant to Section 7.1, the Company has D&O Insurance in effect,
the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers
providing such D&O Insurance in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable D&O
Insurance policy or policies. The Company shall thereafter use diligent, good faith efforts to
cause such insurers to promptly pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of
such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such D&O Insurance policies.

          7.3 Assumption of Defense by the Company; Settlement. In the event the Company shall
be obligated to advance Indemnitee’s expenses with respect to any proceeding, the Company, if
appropriate, shall be entitled, at its option, to assume Indemnitee’s defense of such proceeding,
with counsel approved by Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such
notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company,
the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any fees of
counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided
that: (a) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s own counsel in any such
proceeding at Indemnitee’s own expense; (b) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ Indemnitee’s
own counsel in connection with any such proceeding if such counsel serves solely in a review,
observer, advice and counseling capacity and does not otherwise materially control or participate
in the defense of such proceeding, and the Company shall advance, and/or indemnify Indemnitee for,
the fees of such counsel to the extent the Company would be required to do so under the terms of
this Agreement (without regard to the provisions of this Section 7.3); and (c) if (i) the
employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, or (ii)
Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the
Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense or (iii) the Company shall not, in fact,
have employed counsel to assume Indemnitee’s defense of such proceeding, then the Company shall
advance, and/or indemnify Indemnitee for, the fees of Indemnitee’s counsel to the extent the
Company would be required to do so under the terms of this Agreement (without regard to the
provisions of this Section 7.3). The Company shall not be required to obtain the consent of
Indemnitee to the settlement of any proceeding as to which the Company has assumed the defense if
the Company assumes the full

7

 

and sole responsibility and liability for such settlement and the settlement grants Indemnitee
a complete and unqualified release in respect of the potential liability arising from such
proceeding.

     8. Determination of Right to Indemnification.

          8.1 Successful Defense. To the extent Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any proceeding referred to in Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement or
in the defense of any claim, issue or matter described therein, then subject to the provisions of
Section 4.4, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the investigation, defense or appeal of such proceeding, or such
claim, issue or matter, as the case may be.

          8.2 Other Circumstances. In the event that Indemnitee seeks indemnification under
Section 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement and Section 8.1 is inapplicable to such claim for
indemnification, or does not apply to the entire proceeding, then subject to the provisions of
Section 4.4, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee as provided in Section 4.1 or 4.2, as
applicable, unless the Company shall claim and prove by clear and convincing evidence to a forum
listed in Section 8.3 that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct required to
entitle Indemnitee to indemnification under Section 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable.

          8.3 Selection of Forum to Determine Entitlement to Indemnification. In the event that
the Company claims that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 4.1 or
4.2, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to select the forum in which the validity of the Company’s
claim under Section 8.2 that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification will be heard by one (1)
forum from among the following, except that Indemnitee can select a forum
consisting of the stockholders of the Company only with the prior written approval of the Company
that is duly authorized by the Board:

                (a) A majority of a quorum of the Board consisting of directors who are not parties to the
proceeding for which indemnification is being sought;

                (b) The stockholders of the Company;

                (c) Independent Counsel mutually agreed upon by Indemnitee and the Board, which Independent
Counsel shall make such determination in a written opinion;

                (d) A panel of three (3) arbitrators, one of whom is selected by the Company, another of whom
is selected by Indemnitee and the last of whom is selected by the first two arbitrators so
selected, who will conduct the arbitration in San Jose, California pursuant to the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association; or

                (e) The Court of Chancery of Delaware or other court having jurisdiction of the subject matter
and the parties.

          8.4 Submission of Claim by Company. As soon as practicable, and in no event later
than thirty (30) days after the forum has been selected pursuant to Section 8.3, the Company shall,
at its own expense, submit to the selected forum its claim that the Indemnitee is

8

 

not entitled to indemnification, and the Company shall act in the utmost good faith to assure
Indemnitee a complete opportunity to defend against such claim.

          8.5 Further Proceedings. If the forum selected in accordance with Section 8.3 is not
a court, then after the final decision of such forum is rendered, the Company or Indemnitee shall
have the right to apply to the Court of Chancery of Delaware, the court in which the proceeding
giving rise to Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification is or was pending or any other court having
jurisdiction of the subject matter and the parties, for the purpose of appealing the decision of
such forum, provided that such right is executed within sixty (60) days after the final
decision of such forum is rendered. If the forum selected in accordance with Section 8.3 is a
court, then the rights of the Company or the Indemnitee to appeal any decision of such court shall
be governed by the applicable laws and rules governing appeals of the decision of such court.

          8.6 Court Proceeding. If the forum selected by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 8.3 to
determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification is not a court described in Section
8.3(e) and such forum shall not have made a determination within 120 days after the date on which
the Company is required by Section 8.3 to submit to such forum its claim that Indemnitee is not
entitled to such indemnification, then Indemnitee shall be entitled to apply to the Court of
Chancery of Delaware or other court described in Section 8.3(e) to have Indemnitee’s request for
indemnification adjudicated by such court in lieu of having the determination made by such forum.
The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication.

          8.7 No Presumption. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any proceeding
by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not
meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has
determined that indemnification is not permitted by this Agreement or applicable law.

          8.8 Section 8 Matters. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all expenses incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with any hearing or proceeding under this Section 8 involving Indemnitee and against all
expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any other proceeding between the Company and
Indemnitee involving the interpretation or enforcement of the rights of Indemnitee under this
Agreement unless a court of competent jurisdiction finds that each of the material claims and/or
defenses of Indemnitee in any such proceeding was frivolous or not made in good faith.

     9. Exceptions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the
Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

          9.1 Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee
with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way
of defense, except with respect to (a) proceedings specifically authorized by the Board or
(b) (subject to the provisions of Section 6.2 and Section 8.8) proceedings brought by

9

 

Indemnitee to establish or enforce a right to indemnification and/or advancement of expenses
arising under this Agreement, the charter documents of the Company or any subsidiary or any statute
or law; or

          9.2 Unauthorized Settlements. To indemnify Indemnitee hereunder for any amounts paid
in settlement of a proceeding unless the Company consents in advance in writing to such settlement,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or

          9.3 Certain Securities Law Actions. To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee on
account of any suit in which judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting of profits
made from the purchase or sale by the Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the
provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or similar provisions of any federal, state or
local statutory law or Section 306(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; or

          9.4 Unlawful Indemnification. To indemnify Indemnitee if a final decision by a court
having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine that such indemnification is not lawful. In this
respect, the Company and Indemnitee have been advised that the Securities and Exchange Commission
takes the position that indemnification for liabilities arising under the federal securities laws
is against public policy and is, therefore, unenforceable and that claims for indemnification
should be submitted to appropriate courts for adjudication.

     10. Non-Exclusivity. The provisions for indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth
in this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights which Indemnitee may have under
any provision of law, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, the vote of the
Company’s stockholders or disinterested directors, other agreements or otherwise, both as to action
in Indemnitee’s official capacity and to action in another capacity while occupying his position as
an agent of the Company, and Indemnitee’s rights hereunder shall continue after Indemnitee has
ceased acting as an agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee’s heirs,

Exhibit 10.2

ASTHMATX, INC.

2003 STOCK OPTION PLAN

As Adopted December 22, 2003

As Amended on March 5, 2004 and December 8, 2005

     1. PURPOSE. The purpose of this Plan is to provide incentives to attract, retain and
motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions are important to the success of
the Company, its Parent and Subsidiaries, by offering them an opportunity to participate in the
Company’s future performance through awards of Options. Capitalized terms not defined in the text
are defined in Section 21. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are defined in Section 21.
Although this Plan is intended to be a written compensatory benefit plan within the meaning of Rule
701 promulgated under the Securities Act, grants may be made pursuant to this plan which do not
qualify for exemption under Rule 701 or Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code. Any
requirement of this Plan which is required in law only because of Section 25102(o) need not apply
if the Committee so provides.

     2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

          2.1 Number of Shares Available. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 16, the total number of
Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to this Plan will be 7,564,261
Shares. Shares that are subject to issuance upon exercise of an Option but cease to be subject to
such Option for any reason other than exercise of such Option will be available for issuance in
connection with future Options. At all times the Company will reserve and keep available a
sufficient number of Shares as will be required to satisfy the requirements of all outstanding
Options granted under this Plan.

          2.2 Adjustment of Shares. In the event that the number of outstanding shares of the
Company’s Common Stock is changed by a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock
split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the
Company without consideration, then (a) the number of Shares reserved for issuance under this Plan
and (b) the Exercise Prices of and number of Shares subject to outstanding Options, will be
proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or the shareholders of the
Company and compliance with applicable securities laws; provided, however, that
fractions of a Share will not be issued but will either be paid in cash at Fair Market Value of
such fraction of a Share or will be rounded down to the nearest whole Share, as determined by the
Committee.

     3. ELIGIBILITY. ISOs (as defined in Section 5 below) may be granted only to employees
(including officers and directors who are also employees) of the Company or of a Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company. Nonqualified Stock Options (as defined in Section 5 below) may be
granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company; provided such consultants render bona fide services not in connection
with the offer and sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. A person may be granted
more than one Option under this Plan.

     4. ADMINISTRATION.

          4.1 Committee Authority. This Plan will be administered by the Committee or the Board
acting as the Committee. Subject to the general purposes, terms and conditions of this Plan, and
to the direction of the Board, the Committee will have full power to implement and carry out this
Plan. Without limitation, the Committee will have the authority to:

	 	(a)	 	construe and interpret this Plan, any Stock Option Agreement
(as defined in Section 5 below) and any other agreement or document executed
pursuant to this Plan;

 

 

	 	(b)	 	prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan;
	 
	 	(c)	 	select persons to receive Options;
	 
	 	(d)	 	determine the form and terms of Options;
	 
	 	(e)	 	determine the number of Shares or other consideration subject to Options;
	 
	 	(f)	 	determine whether Options will be granted singly, in
combination with, in tandem with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, any
other incentive or compensation plan of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary
of the Company;
	 
	 	(g)	 	grant waivers of Plan or Option conditions;
	 
	 	(h)	 	determine the vesting and exercisability of Options;
	 
	 	(i)	 	correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any
inconsistency in this Plan, any Option, any Stock Option Agreement (as defined
in Section 5 below) or any Exercise Agreement (as defined in Section 5 below);
	 
	 	(j)	 	determine whether an Option has been earned; and
	 
	 	(k)	 	make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.

          4.2 Committee Discretion. Any determination made by the Committee with respect to any
Option will be made in its sole discretion at the time of grant of the Option or, unless in
contravention of any express term of this Plan or Option, and subject to Section 5.9, at any later
time, and such determination will be final and binding on the Company and on all persons having an
interest in any Option under this Plan. The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the
Company the authority to grant an Option under this Plan to Participants who are not Insiders of
the Company.

     5. OPTIONS. The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and will determine
whether such Options will be Incentive Stock Options within the meaning of the Code (“ISOs”) or
Nonqualified Stock Options (“NQSOs”), the number of Shares subject to the Option, the Exercise
Price of the Option, the period during which the Option may be exercised, and all other terms and
conditions of the Option, subject to the following:

          5.1 Form of Option Grant. Each Option granted under this Plan will be evidenced by an
Agreement which will expressly identify the Option as an ISO or an NQSO (“Stock Option Agreement”),
and will be in such form and contain such provisions (which need not be the same for each
Participant) as the Committee may from time to time approve, and which will comply with and be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Plan.

          5.2 Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option will be the date on which the
Committee makes the determination to grant such Option, unless otherwise specified by the
Committee. The Stock Option Agreement and a copy of this Plan will be delivered to the Participant
within a reasonable time after the granting of the Option.

          5.3 Exercise Period. Options may be exercisable immediately (subject to repurchase
pursuant to Section 10 of this Plan) or may be exercisable within the times or upon the events
determined by the Committee as set forth in the Stock Option Agreement governing such Option;
provided, however, that no Option will be exercisable after the expiration of ten
(10) years from the date the Option is granted; and provided further that no ISO
granted to a person who directly or by attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Parent or Subsidiary of the
Company (“Ten Percent Shareholder”) will be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from
the date the ISO is

 

 

granted. The Committee also may provide for Options to become exercisable at one time or from time
to time, periodically or otherwise, in such number of Shares or percentage of Shares as the
Committee determines. To the extent section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code is
intended to apply to an Option granted hereunder, each Participant who is not an officer, director
or consultant of the Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, shall have the right to
exercise such Option granted at the rate of at least twenty percent (20%) per year over five (5)
years from the date such Option is granted (subject to earlier termination of the Option as
provided herein).

          5.4 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an Option will be determined by the
Committee when the Option is granted; provided that (i) to the extent section
25102(o) of the California Corporations Code is intended to apply to an Option granted hereunder,
(A) the Exercise Price of such Option may not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of grant and (B) the Exercise Price any such Option granted to a Ten Percent
Shareholder will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant,
and (ii) the Exercise Price of an ISO will not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of grant. Payment for the Shares purchased must be made in accordance with
Section 6 of this Plan.

          5.5 Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company of a
written stock option exercise agreement (the “Exercise Agreement”) in a form approved by the
Committee (which need not be the same for each Participant), stating the number of Shares being
purchased, the restrictions imposed on the Shares purchased under such Exercise Agreement, if any,
and such representations and agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to
information and other matters, if any, as may be required or desirable by the Company to comply
with applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of the Exercise Price, and any
applicable taxes, for the number of Shares being purchased.

          5.6 Termination. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to Sections 16 and 17 and
notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Option
will always be subject to the following:

	 	(a)	 	If the Participant is Terminated for any reason
except death, Disability or Cause then the Participant may exercise
such Participant’s Options, only to the extent that such Options are
exercisable upon the Termination Date, no later than three (3) months
after the Termination Date (or such shorter time period, not less than
thirty (30) days, as may be specified in the Stock Option Agreement) or
such longer time period not exceeding five (5) years after the
Termination Date as may be determined by the Committee, with any
exercise beyond three (3) months after the Termination Date deemed to
be an NQSO, but in any event, no later than the expiration date of the
Options.
	 
	 	(b)	 	If the Participant is Terminated because of
Participant’s death or Disability (or the Participant dies within three
(3) months after a Termination other than because of Participant’s
death, Disability or Cause), then Participant’s Options may be
exercised, only to the extent that such Options are exercisable by
Participant on the Termination Date and must be exercised by
Participant (or Participant’s legal representative or authorized
assignee), no later than twelve (12) months after the Termination Date
(or such shorter time period, not less than six (6) months, as may be
specified in the Stock Option Agreement) or such longer time period not
exceeding five (5) years after the Termination Date as may be
determined by the Committee, with any exercise beyond (a) three (3)
months after the Termination Date when the Termination is for any
reason other than the Participant’s death or disability, within the
meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, or (b) twelve (12) months
after the Termination Date when the Termination is for Participant’s
death or disability, within the meaning of

 

 

	 	 	 	Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, deemed to be an NQSO, but in any event no later
than the expiration date of the Options.
	 
	 	(c)	 	If the Participant is terminated for Cause,
then Participant’s Options shall expire on such Participant’s
Termination Date, or at such later time and on such conditions as
determined by the Committee.

          5.7 Limitations on Exercise. The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of
Shares that may be purchased on exercise of an Option, provided that such minimum number will not
prevent Participant from exercising the Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then
exercisable.

          5.8 Limitations on ISOs. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date
of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant
during any calendar year (under this Plan or under any other incentive stock option plan of the
Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) will not exceed $100,000. If the Fair Market
Value of Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time
by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, then the Options for the first $100,000
worth of Shares to become exercisable in such calendar year will be ISOs and the Options for the
amount in excess of $100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year will be NQSOs. In the
event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the Effective Date
(as defined in Section 17 below) to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of
Shares permitted to be subject to ISOs, then such different limit will be automatically
incorporated herein and will apply to any Options granted after the effective date of such
amendment.

          5.9 Modification, Extension or Renewal. The Committee may modify, extend or renew
outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in substitution therefor, provided that
any such action may not, without the written consent of a Participant, impair any of such
Participant’s rights under any Option previously granted. Any outstanding ISO that is modified,
extended, renewed or otherwise altered will be treated in accordance with Section 424(h) of the
Code. The Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options without the consent of
Participants affected by a written notice to them; provided, however, that the
Exercise Price may not be reduced below the minimum Exercise Price that would be permitted under
Section 5.4 of this Plan for Options granted on the date the action is taken to reduce the Exercise
Price.

          5.10 No Disqualification. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, no term
of this Plan relating to ISOs will be interpreted, amended or altered, nor will any discretion or
authority granted under this Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify this Plan under Section 422 of
the Code or, without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any ISO under Section
422 of the Code.

     6. PAYMENT FOR SHARE PURCHASES.

          6.1 Payment. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to this Plan may be made in cash
(by check) or, where expressly approved for the Participant by the Committee and where permitted by
law:

	 	(a)	 	by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Participant;
	 
	 	(b)	 	by surrender of shares that either: (1) have been owned by the
Participant for more than six (6) months and have been paid for within the
meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were purchased from the Company by
use of a promissory note, such note has been fully paid with respect to such
shares); or (2) were obtained by the Participant in the public market;
	 
	 	(c)	 	by tender of a full recourse promissory note having such terms
as may be approved by the Committee and bearing interest at a rate sufficient
to avoid imputation of income under Sections 483 and 1274 of the Code;
provided, however, that Participants who are

 

 

	 	 	 	not employees or directors of the Company will not be entitled to purchase
Shares with a promissory note unless the note is adequately secured by
collateral other than the Shares;
	 
	 	(d)	 	by waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Participant for services rendered;
	 
	 	(e)	 	provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists:

	 	(1)	 	through a “same day sale” commitment from the
Participant and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) whereby the
Participant irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a
portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price, and
whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares
to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or
	 
	 	(2)	 	through a “margin” commitment from the
Participant and an NASD Dealer whereby the Participant irrevocably
elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to
the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the
NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD
Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the
Exercise Price directly to the Company; or

	 	(f)	 	by any combination of the foregoing.

          6.2 Loan Guarantees. The Committee may help the Participant pay for Shares purchased
under this Plan by authorizing a guarantee by the Company of a third-party loan to the Participant.

     7. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

          7.1 Withholding Generally. Whenever Shares are to be issued in satisfaction of
Options granted under this Plan, the Company may require the Participant to remit to the Company an
amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the
delivery of any certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under this Plan, payments
in satisfaction of Options are to be made in cash, such payment will be net of an amount sufficient
to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements.

          7.2 Stock Withholding. When, under applicable tax laws, a Participant incurs tax
liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of any Option that is subject to tax
withholding and the Participant is obligated to pay the Company the amount required to be withheld,
the Committee may in its sole discretion allow the Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding
tax obligation by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of
Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld, determined
on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by a
Participant to have Shares withheld for this purpose will be made in accordance with the
requirements established by the Committee and be in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee.

     8. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP.

          8.1 Voting and Dividends. No Participant will have any of the rights of a shareholder
with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to the Participant. After Shares are issued
to the Participant, the Participant will be a shareholder and have all the rights of a shareholder
with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other
distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; provided, that the Participant will
have no right to retain such stock dividends or stock distributions with respect to Unvested Shares
that are repurchased pursuant to Section 10.

 

 

          8.2 Financial Statements. The Company will provide financial statements to each
Participant prior to such Participant’s purchase of Shares under this Plan, and to each Participant
annually during the period such Participant has Options outstanding, or as otherwise required or
permitted under Section 260.140.46 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to provide such financial
statements to Participants whose services in connection with the Company assure them access to
equivalent information.

     9. TRANSFERABILITY. Options granted under this Plan, and any interest therein, will
not be transferable or assignable by Participant, and may not be made subject to execution,
attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
During the lifetime of the Participant an Option will be exercisable only by the Participant, and
any elections with respect to an Option, may be made only by the Participant.

     10. RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES. At the discretion of the Committee, the Company may
reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Stock Option Agreement (a) a right of first refusal
to purchase all Shares that a Participant (or a subsequent transferee) may propose to transfer to a
third party, unless otherwise not permitted by Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations
Code, provided, that such right of first refusal terminates upon the Company’s initial public
offering of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and/or (b) a right to repurchase Unvested Shares held by a
Participant following such Participant’s Termination at any time within ninety (90) days after
Participant’s Termination Date (or, in the case of securities issued upon exercise of an Option
after the Participant’s Termination Date, within 90 days after the date of such exercise) for cash
and/or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness, at the Participant’s Exercise Price,
provided, that to the extent the Participant is not an officer, director or consultant of
the Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, such right of repurchase lapses at the
rate of at least twenty percent (20%) per year over five (5) years from the date of grant of the
Option.

     11. CERTIFICATES. All certificates for Shares or other securities delivered under
this Plan will be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends and other restrictions as the
Committee may deem necessary or advisable, including restrictions under any applicable federal,
state or foreign securities law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any
stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed or quoted.

     12. ESCROW; PLEDGE OF SHARES. To enforce any restrictions on a Participant’s Shares,
the Committee may require the Participant to deposit all certificates representing Shares, together
with stock powers or other instruments of transfer approved by the Committee, appropriately
endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow until
such restrictions have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends
referencing such restrictions to be placed on the certificates. Any Participant who is permitted
to execute a promissory note as partial or full consideration for the purchase of Shares under this
Plan will be required to pledge and deposit with the Company all or part of the Shares so purchased
as collateral to secure the payment of Participant’s obligation to the Company under the promissory
note; provided, however, that the Committee may require or accept other or
additional forms of collateral to secure the payment of such obligation. In connection with any
pledge of the Shares, Participant will be required to execute and deliver a written pledge
agreement in such form as the Committee will from time to time approve. The Shares purchased with
the promissory note may be released from the pledge on a pro rata basis as the promissory note is
paid.

     13. EXCHANGE AND BUYOUT OF OPTIONS. The Committee may, at any time or from time to
time, authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective Participants, to issue new Options
in exchange for the surrender and cancellation of any or all outstanding Options. The Committee
may at any time buy from a Participant an Option previously granted with payment in cash, shares of
Common Stock of the Company (including restricted stock) or other consideration, based on such
terms and conditions as the Committee and the Participant may agree.

 

 

     14. SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. Although this Plan is intended to
be a written compensatory benefit plan within the meaning of Rule 701 promulgated under the
Securities Act, grants may be made pursuant to this plan which do not qualify for exemption under
Rule 701 or Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code. Any requirement of this Plan
which is required in law only because of Section 25102(o) need not apply if the Committee so
provides. An Option will not be effective unless such Option is in compliance with all applicable
federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the
requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may then be
listed or quoted, as they are in effect on the date of grant of the Option and also on the date of
exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan, the Company will
have no obligation to issue or deliver certificates for Shares under this Plan prior to (a)
obtaining any approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary or
advisable, and/or (b) compliance with any exemption, completion of any registration or other
qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body that
the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company will be under no obligation to
register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance with the exemption, registration,
qualification or listing requirements of any state securities laws, stock exchange or automated
quotation system, and the Company will have no liability for any inability or failure to do so.

     15. NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY. Nothing in this Plan or any Option granted under this
Plan will confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ of,
or to continue any other relationship with, the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company
or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company to
terminate Participant’s employment or other relationship at any time, with or without cause.

     16. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.

          16.1 Assumption or Replacement of Options by Successor. In the event of (a) a
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (b) 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 Options granted under this Plan are assumed, converted or replaced
by the successor corporation, which assumption will be binding on all Participants), (c) a merger
in which the Company is the surviving corporation but after which shareholders of the Company
immediately prior to such merger (other than any shareholder which merges, or which owns or
controls another corporation which merges, with the Company in such merger) cease to own their
shares or other equity interests in the Company, or (d) the sale of substantially all of the assets
of the Company, any or all outstanding Options may be assumed, converted or replaced by the
successor corporation (if any), which assumption, conversion or replacement will be binding on all
Participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation may substitute equivalent Options or
provide substantially similar consideration to Participants as was provided to shareholders (after
taking into account the existing provisions of the Options). The successor corporation may also
issue, in place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Participant, substantially similar
shares or other property subject to repurchase restrictions and other provisions no less favorable
to the Participant than those which applied to such outstanding Shares immediately prior to such
transaction described in this Subsection 16.1. In the event such successor corporation (if any)
does not assume or substitute Options, as provided above, pursuant to a transaction described in
this Subsection 16.1, then notwithstanding any other provision in this Plan to the contrary, such
Options will expire on such transaction at such time and on such conditions as the Board will
determine.

          16.2 Other Treatment of Options. Subject to any greater rights granted to
Participants under the foregoing provisions of this Section 16, in the event of the occurrence of
any transaction described in Section 16.1, any outstanding Options will be treated as provided in
the applicable agreement or plan of merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation or sale of
assets.

          16.3 Assumption of Options by the Company. The Company, from time to time, also may
substitute or assume outstanding options granted by another company, whether in connection with an
acquisition of

 

 

such other company or otherwise, by either (a) granting an Option under this Plan in substitution
of such other company’s option, or (b) assuming such option as if it had been granted under this
Plan if the terms of such assumed option could be applied to an Option granted under this Plan.
Such substitution or assumption will be permissible if the holder of the substituted or assumed
option would have been eligible to be granted an Option under this Plan if the other company had
applied the rules of this Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an option granted
by another company, the terms and conditions of such option will remain unchanged (except
that the exercise price and the number and nature of shares issuable upon exercise of any such
option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the
Company elects to grant a new Option rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may
be granted with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.

     17. ADOPTION AND SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL. This Plan will become effective on the date
that it is adopted by the Board (the “Effective Date”). This Plan will be approved by the
shareholders of the Company (excluding Shares issued pursuant to this Plan), consistent with
applicable laws, within twelve (12) months before or after the Effective Date. Upon the Effective
Date, the Board may grant Options pursuant to this Plan; provided, however, that no
Option may be exercised prior to shareholder approval of this Plan. In the event that shareholder
approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months before or after the date this Plan is adopted by
the Board, all Options granted hereunder will be canceled.

     18. TERM OF PLAN/GOVERNING LAW. Unless earlier terminated as provided herein, this
Plan will terminate ten (10) years from the Effective Date or, if earlier, the date of shareholder
approval. This Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California.

     19. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. Subject to Section 5.9, the Board may at any
time terminate or amend this Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any
form of Stock Option Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to this Plan;
provided, however, that the Board will not, without the approval of the
shareholders of the Company, amend this Plan in any manner that requires such shareholder approval
pursuant to the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder as such provisions apply to ISO
plans.

     20. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN. Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board, the
submission of this Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of this
Plan will be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such
additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the
granting of stock options otherwise than under this Plan, and such arrangements may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

	 	o  Incentive Stock Option
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	o  Nonqualified Stock Option

     1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to Participant an option (this
“Option”) to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth above in
Total Option Shares (the “Shares”) at the Exercise Price Per Share set forth above (the “Exercise
Price”), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. If designated
as an Incentive Stock Option above, this Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock
option” (“ISO”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”).

     2. Exercise Period.

          2.1 Exercise Period of Option. Provided Participant continues to provide services to
the Company or to any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, (a) this Option shall not vest or be
exercisable until the one year anniversary of the Vesting Start Date set forth on the first page
of this Agreement (the “First Vesting Date”), (b) on the First Vesting Date, this Option will
become vested and exercisable with respect to 25% of the Shares, and (c) thereafter at the end of
each full succeeding month after the First Vesting Date this Option will become vested and
exercisable with respect to an additional 2.0833% of the Shares until such time as the Option is
vested with respect to 100% of the Shares, provided that if application of the vesting percentage
causes a fractional share, such share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.
Notwithstanding any provision in the
Plan or

 

 

this Agreement to the contrary, this Option may not be exercised with respect to the
Shares that are Unvested Shares (as defined in Section 2.2 of this Agreement).

[IF FULLY VESTED AT GRANT, USE THIS PARAGRAPH INSTEAD:]

          2.1 Exercise Period of Option. This Option shall be vested and exercisable with
respect to 100% of the Shares immediately upon the Date of Grant set forth on the first page of
this Agreement.

[FOR GRANTS THAT ARE FULLY VESTED SIX MONTHS FROM GRANT (FOR NON-EXEMPT EMPLOYEES) USE THIS
PARAGRAPH INSTEAD:]

          2.1 Exercise Period of Option. Provided Participant continues to provide services to
the Company or to any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, (a) this Option shall not vest or be
exercisable until the six month anniversary of the Vesting Start Date set forth on the first page
of this Agreement (the “First Vesting Date”) and (b) on the First Vesting Date this Option shall
become vested and exercisable with respect to 100% of the Shares. Notwithstanding any provision
in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, this Option may not be exercised with respect to
the Shares that are Unvested Shares (as defined in Section 2.2 of this Agreement).

          2.2 Vesting of Options. Shares that are vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in
Section 2.1 are “Vested Shares.” Shares that are not vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in
Section 2.1 are “Unvested Shares.” Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred by
Participant without the Company’s prior written consent.

          2.3 Expiration. This Option shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth above or
earlier as provided in Section 3 below.

     3. Termination.

          3.1 Termination for Any Reason Except Death, Disability or Cause. If Participant is
Terminated for any reason, except death, Disability or Cause, this Option, to the extent (and only
to the extent) that it would have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination Date, may be
exercised by Participant no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date, but in any
event no later than the Expiration Date.

          3.2 Termination Because of Death or Disability. If Participant is Terminated because
of death or Disability of Participant (or Participant dies within three (3) months after
Termination other than for Cause or because of Participant’s death or Disability), this Option, to
the extent that it is exercisable by Participant on the Termination Date, may be exercised by
Participant (or Participant’s legal representative) no later than twelve (12) months after the
Termination Date, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date. Any exercise beyond (a)
three (3) months after the Termination Date when the Termination is for any reason other than the
Participant’s death or disability, within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code; or (b)
twelve (12) months after the Termination Date when the termination is for Participant’s death or
disability, within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, is deemed to be an NQSO.

          3.3 Termination for Cause. If Participant is terminated for Cause, then this Option
will expire on Participant’s Termination Date, or at such later time and on such conditions as
determined by the Committee.

          3.4 No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on
Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company to terminate Participant’s employment or other relationship at any time,
with or without Cause.

     4. Manner of Exercise.

          4.1 Stock Option Exercise Agreement. To exercise this Option, Participant (or in the
case of exercise after Participant’s death or incapacity, Participant’s executor, administrator,
heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed stock option exercise
agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or in such other form as may be
approved by the Company from time to time (the “Exercise Agreement”), which shall set forth,
inter alia, Participant’s election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares
being purchased, any restrictions imposed on the Shares and any representations, warranties and
agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information as may be required
by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws. If someone other than Participant
exercises this Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the
Company that such person has the right to exercise this Option.

          4.2 Limitations on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is
in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, as they are in effect on the
date of exercise. This Option may not be exercised as to fewer than one hundred (100) Shares
unless it is exercised as to all Shares as to which this Option is then exercisable.

          4.3 Payment. The Exercise Agreement shall be accompanied by full payment of the
Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased in cash (by check), or where permitted by law:

	 	(a)	 	by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the
Participant;
	 
	 	(b)	 	by surrender of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that: (1)
either (A) have been owned by Participant for more than six (6) months and have
been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were
purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note has been
fully paid with respect to such shares); or (B) were obtained by Participant in
the open public market; and (2) are clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances or
security interests;
	 
	 	(c)	 	by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant for
services rendered;
	 
	 	(d)	 	provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists,
(1) through a “same day sale” commitment from Participant and a broker-dealer
that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD
Dealer”) whereby Participant irrevocably elects to exercise this Option and to
sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and
whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to
forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company, or (2) through a
“margin” commitment from Participant and an NASD Dealer whereby Participant
irrevocably elects to exercise this Option and to pledge the Shares so
purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from
the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD
Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise
Price directly to the Company; or
	 
	 	(e)	 	by any combination of the foregoing.

          4.4 Tax Withholding. Prior to the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this
Option, Participant must pay or provide for any applicable federal, state and local withholding
obligations of the Company. If the Committee permits, Participant may provide for payment of
withholding taxes upon exercise of this Option by requesting that the Company retain Shares with a
Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld. In such case, the
Company shall issue the net number of Shares to the Participant by deducting the Shares retained
from the Shares issuable upon exercise.

          4.5 Issuance of Shares. Provided that the Exercise Agreement and payment are in form
and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company shall issue the Shares
registered in
the name of Participant, Participant’s authorized assignee, or Participant’s legal representative,
and shall deliver certificates representing the Shares with the appropriate legends affixed
thereto.

-3-

 

     5. Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If this Option is an ISO, and
if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or
before the later of (a) the date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, and (b) the date one (1)
year after transfer of such Shares to Participant upon exercise of this Option, Participant shall
immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Participant agrees that
Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the compensation income
recognized by Participant from the early disposition by payment in cash or out of the current
wages or other compensation payable to Participant.

     6. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Unless otherwise noted in the agreement, the
Plan and this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 25102(o) of the California
Corporations Code and any provision of this Agreement which is inconsistent with Section 25102(o)
shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the Board, be reformed to comply with
the requirements of Section 25102(o). The exercise of this Option and the issuance and transfer
of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all applicable
requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any
stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or
transfer. Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify
the Shares with the SEC, any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such
compliance.

     7. Nontransferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of Participant only by Participant. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Participant.

     8. Company’s Right of First Refusal. Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise
transferred by Participant without the Company’s prior written consent. Before any Vested Shares
held by Participant or any transferee of such Vested Shares (either being sometimes referred to
herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including without limitation a
transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company and/or its assignee(s) shall have an assignable
right of first refusal to purchase the Vested Shares to be sold or transferred (the “Offered
Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Exercise Agreement (the “Right of
First Refusal”). The Company’s Right of First Refusal will terminate upon the Company’s
initial public offering of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     9 Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the Effective Date of
the Plan of some of the federal and California tax consequences of the exercise of this Option and
disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND
REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PARTICIPANT SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING
THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

          10.1 Exercise of ISO. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, there will be no regular
federal or California income tax liability upon the exercise of this Option, although the excess,
if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price
will be treated as a tax preference item for federal alternative minimum tax purposes and may
subject the Participant to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

          10.2 Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Option. If this Option does not qualify as an
ISO, there may be a regular federal and California income tax liability upon the exercise of this
Option. Participant will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary
income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Participant is or was an employee of the Company, the
Company will be required to withhold from Participant’s
compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount
equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

-4-

 

          10.3 Disposition of Shares. The following tax consequences may apply upon disposition
of Shares.

               a. ISOs. If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months after the date of the
transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of an ISO and are disposed of more than two years
after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as capital
gain for federal and California income tax purposes. If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed
of within the applicable one year or two year period, any gain realized on such disposition will be
treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the excess, if
any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price.

               b. Nonqualified Stock Options. If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months
after the date of the transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock
Option, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as Long-Term Capital Gain .

               c. Withholding. The Company may be required to withhold from Participant’s
compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount
equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

          10.4 Section 409A. Participant acknowledges that, under Section 409A of the Code,
receipt of a stock option with an exercise price per share that is less than the fair market value
of the stock subject to the option at the time of grant can result in significant adverse tax
consequences to the Participant, including without limitation the imputation of taxable income to
the Participant on the difference between the exercise price and fair market value as the option
vests and the imposition of an additional excise tax on the Participant. The Company does not
make any representation to Participant that the Exercise Price of this Option was equal to the
fair market value per share of the Shares as of the Date of Grant. Participant acknowledges and
agrees that neither the Company, nor its officers, directors, stockholders, employees, attorneys,
agents, successors or assigns, shall have any liability to Participant should it be determined
hereafter that the Exercise Price of this Option is less than the fair market value per share of
the Shares as of the Date of Grant. If Participant desires advice regarding Section 409A of the
Code with respect to this Option, Participant should consult with Participant’s own tax and/or
financial advisors. Participant acknowledges that Participant is under no obligation to accept
this Option.

     10 Privileges of Stock Ownership. Participant shall not have any of the rights of a
shareholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to Participant.

     11 Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall
be submitted by Participant or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such a
dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and Participant.

     12 Entire Agreement. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement
and the Plan constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior undertakings
and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.

     13 Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the
terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the
Company at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to
Participant shall be in writing and addressed to Participant at the address indicated above or to
such other address as such party may designate in writing from time to time to the Company. All
notices shall be deemed to have been given or delivered upon: personal delivery; three (3) days
after deposit in the United States mail by certified or registered mail (return receipt
requested); one (1)
business day after deposit with any return receipt express courier (prepaid); or one (1) business
day after transmission by facsimile, rapifax or telecopier.

     14 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement, including its rights to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Option and the Right of
First Refusal.

-5-

 

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors
and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this
Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators,
legal representatives, successors and assigns.

     15 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between California
residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California. If any provision of this
Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will
be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective
and enforceable.

     16 Acceptance. Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and this
Agreement. Participant has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and accepts
this Option subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement. Participant
acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon exercise of this Option or
disposition of the Shares and that Participant should consult a tax adviser prior to such exercise
or disposition.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be executed in triplicate by its

shares), or obtained by Purchaser in the open public market, and owned free and clear
of all liens, claims, encumbrances or security interests, valued at the current Fair
Market Value of $                     per share;
	 
	 	o	 	by the waiver hereby of compensation due or accrued for services rendered in

     2. Delivery.

          2.1 Deliveries by Purchaser. Purchaser hereby delivers to the Company (i) this
Exercise Agreement, (ii) two (2) copies of a blank Stock Power and Assignment Separate from Stock
Certificate in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto (the “Stock Powers”), both
executed by Purchaser (and Purchaser’s spouse, if any), (iii) if Purchaser is married, a Consent of
Spouse in the form of Exhibit 2 attached hereto (the “Spouse Consent”) executed by
Purchaser’s spouse, and (iv) the Exercise Price.

          2.2 Deliveries by the Company. Upon its receipt of the Exercise Price and all the
documents to be executed and delivered by Purchaser to the Company under Section
2.1, the Company will issue a duly executed stock certificate evidencing the Shares in the
name of Purchaser, to be placed in escrow as provided in Section 10 until expiration or termination
of the Company’s Right of First Refusal described in Section 8.

 

 

     3. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to
the Company that:

          3.1 Agrees to Terms of the Plan. Purchaser has received a copy of the Plan and the
Stock Option Agreement, has read and understands the terms of the Plan, the Stock Option Agreement
and this Exercise Agreement, and agrees to be bound by their terms and conditions. Purchaser
acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon exercise of the Option or disposition
of the Shares, and that Purchaser should consult a tax adviser prior to such exercise or
disposition.

          3.2 Purchase for Own Account for Investment. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for
Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in
connection with, a distribution of the Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”). Purchaser has no present intention of selling or otherwise
disposing of all or any portion of the Shares and no one other than Purchaser has any beneficial
ownership of any of the Shares.

          3.3 Access to Information. Purchaser has had access to all information regarding the
Company and its present and prospective business, assets, liabilities and financial condition that
Purchaser reasonably considers important in making the decision to purchase the Shares, and
Purchaser has had ample opportunity to ask questions of the Company’s representatives concerning
such matters and this investment.

          3.4 Understanding of Risks. Purchaser is fully aware of: (i) the highly speculative
nature of the investment in the Shares; (ii) the financial hazards involved; (iii) the lack of
liquidity of the Shares and the restrictions on transferability of the Shares (e.g., that
Purchaser may not be able to sell or dispose of the Shares or use them as collateral for loans);
(iv) the qualifications and backgrounds of the management of the Company; and (v) the tax
consequences of investment in the Shares. Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of this investment, has the ability to protect Purchaser’s own interests in this transaction and is
financially capable of bearing a total loss of this investment.

          3.5 No General Solicitation. At no time was Purchaser presented with or solicited by
any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general
advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Shares.

     4. Compliance with Securities Laws.

          4.1 Compliance with Federal Securities Laws. Purchaser understands and acknowledges
that the Shares have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
under the Securities Act and that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Stock Option
Agreement to the contrary, the exercise of any rights to purchase any Shares is expressly
conditioned upon compliance with the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws.
Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Company to ensure compliance with such laws. The Shares are
being issued under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided by SEC Rule 701.

          4.2 Compliance with California Securities Laws. Unless otherwise noted in the stock
option agreement, the Plan, the stock option agreement, and this Agreement are intended to comply
with Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code and any provision of this Agreement which
is inconsistent with Section 25102(o) shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the
Board, be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 25102(o). THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES
THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS EXERCISE AGREEMENT, IF NOT YET

 

 

QUALIFIED WITH THE CALIFORNIA
COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS AND NOT EXEMPT FROM SUCH QUALIFICATION, IS SUBJECT TO SUCH
QUALIFICATION, AND THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH SECURITIES, AND THE RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE
CONSIDERATION THEREFOR PRIOR TO SUCH QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL UNLESS THE SALE IS EXEMPT. THE
RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS EXERCISE AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON SUCH QUALIFICATION
BEING OBTAINED OR AN EXEMPTION BEING AVAILABLE.

     5. Restricted Securities.

          5.1 No Transfer Unless Registered or Exempt. Purchaser understands that Purchaser may
not transfer any Shares unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or qualified
under applicable state securities laws or unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
exemptions from such registration and qualification requirements are available. Purchaser
understands that only the Company may file a registration statement with the SEC and that the
Company is under no obligation to do so with respect to the Shares. Purchaser has also been
advised that exemptions from registration and qualification may not be available or may not permit
Purchaser to transfer all or any of the Shares in the amounts or at the times proposed by
Purchaser.

          5.2 SEC Rule 144. In addition, Purchaser has been advised that SEC Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits certain limited sales of unregistered
securities, is not presently available with respect to the Shares and, in any event, requires that
the Shares be held for a minimum holding period, after they have been purchased and paid for
(within the meaning of Rule 144). Purchaser understands that Rule 144 may indefinitely restrict
transfer of the Shares so long as Purchaser remains an “affiliate” of the Company or if “current
public information” about the Company (as defined in Rule 144) is not publicly available.
Effective April 29, 1997, the Rule 144 holding period will be one year and in certain cases two
years.

          5.3 SEC Rule 701. The Shares are issued pursuant to SEC Rule 701 promulgated under the
Securities Act and may become freely tradeable by non-affiliates (under limited conditions
regarding the method of sale) 90 days after the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the
general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the SEC,
subject to the lengthier market standoff agreement contained in Section 7 of this Exercise
Agreement or any other agreement entered into by Purchaser. Affiliates must comply with the
provisions (other than the holding period requirements) of Rule 144.

     6. Restrictions on Transfers.

          6.1 Disposition of Shares. Purchaser hereby agrees that Purchaser shall make no
disposition of the Shares (other than as permitted by this Agreement) unless and until:

               (a) Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and provided a
written summary of the terms and conditions of the proposed disposition;

               (b) Purchaser shall have complied with all requirements of this Exercise Agreement applicable
to the disposition of the Shares;

               (c) Purchaser shall have provided the Company with written assurances, in form and substance
satisfactory to counsel for the Company, that (i) the proposed disposition does not require
registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or (ii) all appropriate

 

 

action necessary for
compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or of any exemption from
registration available under the Securities Act (including Rule 144) has been taken; and

               (d) Purchaser shall have provided the Company with written assurances, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, that the proposed disposition will not result in the contravention of
any transfer restrictions applicable to the Shares pursuant to the provisions of the Commissioner
Rules identified in Section 4.2.

          6.2 Restriction on Transfer. Purchaser shall not transfer, assign, grant a lien or
security interest in, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares which
are subject to the Company’s Right of First Refusal, except as permitted by this Exercise
Agreement.

          6.3 Transferee Obligations. Each person (other than the Company) to whom the Shares
are transferred by means of one of the permitted transfers specified in this Exercise Agreement
must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the
Company that such person is bound by the provisions of this Exercise Agreement and that the
transferred Shares are subject to (i) the Company’s Right of First Refusal granted hereunder and
(ii) the market stand-off provisions of Section 7, to the same extent such Shares would be so
subject if retained by the Purchaser.

     7. Market Standoff Agreement. Purchaser agrees in connection with any registration of
the Company’s securities that, upon the request of the Company or the underwriters managing any
public offering of the Company’s securities, Purchaser will not sell or otherwise dispose of any
Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be,
for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) after the effective date of such registration
requested by such managing underwriters and subject to all restrictions as the Company or the
underwriters may specify. Purchaser will enter into any agreement reasonably required by the
underwriters to implement the foregoing.

     8. Company’s Right of First Refusal. Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise
transferred by Purchaser without the Company’s prior written consent. Before any Vested Shares
held by Purchaser or any transferee of such Vested Shares (either being sometimes referred to
herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including without limitation a
transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company and/or its assignee(s) shall have an assignable
right of first refusal to purchase the Vested Shares to be sold or transferred (the “Offered
Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the “Right of First
Refusal”).

          8.1 Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Offered Shares shall deliver to the
Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to
sell or otherwise transfer the Offered Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed bona fide purchaser
or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Offered Shares to be
transferred to each Proposed Transferee; (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for
which the Holder proposes to transfer the Offered Shares (the “Offered Price”); and (v) that
the Holder
will offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Company and/or its assignee(s) at the Offered
Price as provided in this Section.

          8.2 Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after the
date of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder,
elect to purchase the Offered Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed
Transferees named in the Notice, at the purchase price determined as specified below.

          8.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Offered Shares purchased under this
Section will be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash,

 

 

then the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall conclusively be deemed to be the
value of such non-cash consideration as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of
Directors.

          8.4 Payment. Payment of the purchase price for the Offered Shares will be payable, at
the option of the Company and/or its assignee(s) (as applicable), by check or by cancellation of
all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or to such assignee,
in the case of a purchase of Offered Shares by such assignee) or by any combination thereof. The
purchase price will be paid without interest within sixty (60) days after the Company’s receipt of
the Notice, or, at the option of the Company and/or its assignee(s), in the manner and at the
time(s) set forth in the Notice.

          8.5 Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Offered Shares proposed in the Notice to
be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its
assignee(s) as provided in this Section, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such
Offered Shares to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price,
provided that such sale or other transfer is consummated within 120 days after the date of
the Notice, and provided further, that (i) any such sale or other transfer is
effected in compliance with all applicable securities laws and (ii) the Proposed Transferee agrees
in writing that the provisions of this Section will continue to apply to the Offered Shares in the
hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Offered Shares described in the Notice are not
transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such 120 day period, then a new Notice must be given
to the Company, and the Company will again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares
held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.

          8.6 Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the
following transfers of Vested Shares will be exempt from the Right of First Refusal: (i) the
transfer of any or all of the Vested Shares during Purchaser’s lifetime by gift or on Purchaser’s
death by will or intestacy to Purchaser’s “immediate family” (as defined below) or to a trust for
the benefit of Purchaser or Purchaser’s immediate family, provided that each transferee or other
recipient agrees in a writing satisfactory to the Company that the provisions of this Section will
continue to apply to the transferred Vested Shares in the hands of such transferee or other
recipient; (ii) any transfer of Vested Shares made pursuant to a statutory merger or statutory
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or corporations (except that the
Right of First Refusal will continue to apply thereafter to such Vested Shares, in which case the
surviving corporation of such merger or consolidation shall succeed to the rights of the Company
under this Section unless the agreement of merger or consolidation expressly otherwise provides);
or (iii) any transfer of Vested Shares pursuant to the winding up and dissolution of the Company.
As used herein, the term “immediate family” will mean Purchaser’s spouse, the lineal
descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister, child,
adopted child, grandchild or adopted grandchild of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s spouse, or
the spouse of any child, adopted child, grandchild or adopted grandchild of Purchaser or the
Purchaser’s spouse.

          8.7 Termination of Right of First Refusal. The Company’s Right of First Refusal will
terminate upon the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock pursuant to an effective
registration statement filed under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     9. Rights as Shareholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Exercise
Agreement, Purchaser will have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to
the Shares from and after the date that Shares are issued to Purchaser until such time as Purchaser
disposes of the Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s) exercise(s) the Right of First
Refusal. Upon an exercise of the Right of First Refusal, Purchaser will have no further rights as
a holder of the Shares so purchased upon such exercise, except the right to receive payment for the
Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions of this Exercise Agreement, and Purchaser
will promptly surrender the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares so purchased to the Company
for transfer or cancellation.

 

 

     10. Escrow. As security for Purchaser’s faithful performance of this Agreement,
Purchaser agrees, immediately upon receipt of the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, to
deliver such certificate(s), together with the Stock Powers executed by Purchaser and by
Purchaser’s spouse, if any (with the date and number of Shares left blank), to the Secretary of the
Company or other designee of the Company (“Escrow Holder”), who is hereby appointed to hold
such certificate(s) and Stock Powers in escrow and to take all such actions and to effectuate all
such transfers and/or releases of such Shares as are in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Purchaser and the Company agree that Escrow Holder will not be liable to any party to
this Exercise Agreement (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless Escrow Holder
is grossly negligent or intentionally fraudulent in carrying out the duties of Escrow Holder under
this Exercise Agreement. Escrow Holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed
by any signature purported to be genuine and may rely on the advice of counsel and obey any order
of any court with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Shares will be
released from escrow upon termination of both the Right of First Refusal.

     11. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

          11.1 Legends. Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company will place the legends
set forth below or similar legends on any stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, together with
any other legends that may be required by state or federal securities laws, the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation or Bylaws, any other agreement between Purchaser and the Company or any agreement
between Purchaser and any third party:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF
CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND
RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION
THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL
RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE
SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE
ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON
PUBLIC RESALE AND TRANSFER AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTIONS HELD BY THE ISSUER
AND/OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN A STOCK OPTION EXERCISE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE
PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH PUBLIC SALE AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS AND THE
RIGHT FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING ON TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

          11.2 Stop-Transfer Instructions. Purchaser agrees that, to ensure compliance with
the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate “stop-transfer”
instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company transfers its own securities, it may
make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

          11.3 Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its
books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions
of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay
dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares have been so transferred.

 

 

     12. Tax Consequences. PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS THAT PURCHASER MAY SUFFER ADVERSE TAX
CONSEQUENCES AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S PURCHASE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES. PURCHASER
REPRESENTS THAT PURCHASER HAS CONSULTED WITH ANY TAX ADVISER PURCHASER DEEMS ADVISABLE IN
CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES AND THAT PURCHASER IS NOT RELYING ON THE
COMPANY FOR ANY TAX ADVICE. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the date the Plan was adopted
by the Board of some of the federal and California tax consequences of exercise of the Option and
disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND
REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PURCHASER SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXECUTING THIS
OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

          12.1 Exercise of Incentive Stock Option. If the Option qualifies as an incentive stock
option, there will be no regular federal income tax liability or California income tax liability
upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as a tax preference item for
federal alternative minimum tax purposes and may subject Purchaser to the alternative minimum tax
in the year of exercise.

          12.2 Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Option. If the Option does not qualify as an
incentive stock option, there may be a regular federal income tax liability and a California income
tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Purchaser will be treated as having received
compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Purchaser is or was
an employee of the Company, the Company will be required to withhold from Purchaser’s compensation
or collect from Purchaser and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a
percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

          12.3 Disposition of Shares. The following tax consequences may apply upon disposition
of Shares.

               a. ISOs. If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months after the date of the
transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of an ISO and are disposed of
more than two years after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares
will be treated as capital gain for federal and California income tax purposes. If Shares
purchased under an ISO are disposed of within the applicable one year or two year period, any gain
realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income
rates) to the extent of the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of
exercise over the Exercise Price.

               b. Nonqualified Stock Options. If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months
after the date of the transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock
Option, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as Long-Term Capital Gain.

               c. Withholding. The Company may be required to withhold from Participant’s
compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount
equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

     13. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of the Shares will
be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Purchaser with all applicable
state and federal laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock

 

 

exchange
or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the
time of such issuance or transfer.

     14. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement, including its right to repurchase Shares under the Right of First Refusal. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the
Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement will be binding
upon Purchaser and Purchaser’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors
and assigns.

     15. Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements
between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California. If any
provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then
such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain
fully effective and enforceable.

     16. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company shall be in
writing and addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at its principal corporate offices.
Any notice required to be given or delivered to Purchaser shall be in writing and addressed to
Purchaser at the address indicated above or to such other address as Purchaser may designate in
writing from time to time to the Company. All notices shall be deemed effectively given upon
personal delivery, three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail by certified or
registered mail (return receipt requested), one (1) business day after its deposit with any return
receipt express courier (prepaid), or one (1) business day after transmission by rapifax or
telecopier.

     17. Further Instruments. The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to
take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of
this Agreement.

     18. Headings. The captions and headings of this Agreement are included for ease of
reference only and will be disregarded in interpreting or construing this Agreement. All
references herein to Sections will refer to Sections of this Agreement.

     19. Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Stock Option Agreement and this Exercise
Agreement, together with all its Exhibits, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the
parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior
understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to
the specific subject matter hereof.

     This Stock Option Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the date of grant
set forth below (the “Date of Grant”) by and between Asthmatx, Inc., a California corporation (the

Type of Stock Option

	 	 	 
	(Check one):

	 	o  Incentive Stock Option
	 
	 	 
	 

	 	o  Nonqualified Stock Option

     1. Grant of Option. The Company hereby grants to Participant an option (this
“Option”) to purchase the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company set forth above in
Total Option Shares (the “Shares”) at the Exercise Price Per Share set forth above (the “Exercise
Price”), subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Plan. If designated
as an Incentive Stock Option above, this Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock
option” (“ISO”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the “Code”).

     2. Exercise Period.

          2.1 Exercise Period of Option. This Option is immediately exercisable although the
Shares issued upon exercise of the Option will be subject to the restrictions on transfer and
Repurchase Options set forth in Sections 8 and 9 below. Provided Participant continues to provide
services to the Company or to any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, the Shares issuable upon
exercise of this Option will become vested with respect to [CLIFF VESTING:][25% of the Shares on
the one year anniversary of the Vesting Start Date set forth on the first page of this Agreement
(the “First Vesting Date”) and thereafter at the end of each full succeeding month after the First
Vesting Date an additional 2.0833% of the Shares will become vested until the Option is vested
with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares, provided that if application of the
vesting percentage causes a fractional share, such share shall be rounded down to the nearest
whole

 

 

share.][MONTHLY VESTING:][2.0833% of the Shares on the one month anniversary of the Vesting Start
Date set forth on the first page of this Agreement (the “First Vesting Date”) and thereafter at
the end of each full succeeding month after the First Vesting Date an additional 2.0833% of the
Shares will become vested until the Option is vested with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of
the Shares, provided that if application of the vesting percentage causes a fractional share, such
share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share.] Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan
or this Agreement to the contrary, Options for Unvested Shares (as defined in Section 2.2 of this
Agreement) will not be exercisable after Participant’s Termination Date.

          2.2 Vesting of Options. Shares that are vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in
Section 2.1 are “Vested Shares.” Shares that are not vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in
Section 2.1 are “Unvested Shares.” Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred by
Participant without the Company’s prior written consent.

          2.3 Expiration. This Option shall expire on the Expiration Date set forth above or
earlier as provided in Section 3 below.

     3. Termination.

          3.1 Termination for Any Reason Except Death, Disability or Cause. If Participant is
Terminated for any reason, except death, Disability or Cause, this Option, to the extent (and only
to the extent) that it would have been exercisable by Participant on the Termination Date, may be
exercised by Participant no later than three (3) months after the Termination Date, but in any
event no later than the Expiration Date.

          3.2 Termination Because of Death or Disability. If Participant is Terminated because
of death or Disability of Participant (or Participant dies within three (3) months after
Termination other than for Cause or because of Participant’s death or Disability), this Option, to
the extent that it is exercisable by Participant on the Termination Date, may be exercised by
Participant (or Participant’s legal representative) no later than twelve (12) months after the
Termination Date, but in any event no later than the Expiration Date. Any exercise beyond (a)
three (3) months after the Termination Date when the Termination is for any reason other than the
Participant’s death or disability, within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code; or (b)
twelve (12) months after the Termination Date when the termination is for Participant’s death or
disability, within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, is deemed to be an NQSO.

          3.3 Termination for Cause. If Participant is terminated for Cause, then this Option
will expire on Participant’s Termination Date, or at such later time and on such conditions as
determined by the Committee.

          3.4 No Obligation to Employ. Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer on
Participant any right to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company, or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary of the Company to terminate Participant’s employment or other relationship at any time,
with or without Cause.

     4. Manner of Exercise.

          4.1 Stock Option Exercise Agreement. To exercise this Option, Participant (or in the
case of exercise after Participant’s death or incapacity, Participant’s executor, administrator,
heir or legatee, as the case may be) must deliver to the Company an executed stock option exercise
agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, or in such other form as may be
approved by the Company from time to time (the “Exercise Agreement”), which shall set forth,
inter alia, Participant’s election to exercise this Option, the number of Shares
being purchased, any restrictions imposed on the Shares and any representations, warranties and
agreements regarding Participant’s investment intent and access to information as may be required
by the Company to comply with applicable securities laws. If someone other than Participant
exercises this Option, then such person must submit documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company that such person
has the right to exercise this Option.

 

 

          4.2 Limitations on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is
in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, as they are in effect on the
date of exercise. This Option may not be exercised as to fewer than one hundred (100) Shares
unless it is exercised as to all Shares as to which this Option is then exercisable.

          4.3 Payment. The Exercise Agreement shall be accompanied by full payment of the
Exercise Price for the Shares being purchased in cash (by check), or where permitted by law:

	 	(a)	 	by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the
Participant;
	 
	 	(b)	 	by surrender of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that: (1)
either (A) have been owned by Participant for more than six (6) months and have
been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were
purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note has been
fully paid with respect to such shares); or (B) were obtained by Participant in
the open public market; and (2) are clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances or
security interests;
	 
	 	(c)	 	by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant for
services rendered;
	 
	 	(d)	 	provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists,
(1) through a “same day sale” commitment from Participant and a broker-dealer
that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD
Dealer”) whereby Participant irrevocably elects to exercise this Option and to
sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and
whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to
forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company, or (2) through a
“margin” commitment from Participant and an NASD Dealer whereby Participant
irrevocably elects to exercise this Option and to pledge the Shares so
purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from
the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD
Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise
Price directly to the Company; or
	 
	 	(e)	 	by any combination of the foregoing.

          4.4 Tax Withholding. Prior to the issuance of the Shares upon exercise of this
Option, Participant must pay or provide for any applicable federal, state and local withholding
obligations of the Company. If the Committee permits, Participant may provide for payment of
withholding taxes upon exercise of this Option by requesting that the Company retain Shares with a
Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld. In such case, the
Company shall issue the net number of Shares to the Participant by deducting the Shares retained
from the Shares issuable upon exercise.

          4.5 Issuance of Shares. Provided that the Exercise Agreement and payment are in form
and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, the Company shall issue the Shares
registered in the name of Participant, Participant’s authorized assignee, or Participant’s legal
representative, and shall deliver certificates representing the Shares with the appropriate
legends affixed thereto.

     5. Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If this Option is an ISO, and
if Participant sells or otherwise disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or
before the later of (a) the date two (2) years after the Date of Grant, and (b) the date one (1)
year after transfer of such Shares to Participant upon exercise of this Option, Participant shall
immediately notify the Company in writing of such disposition. Participant agrees that
Participant may be subject to income tax withholding by the Company on the
compensation income recognized by Participant from the early disposition by payment in cash or out
of the current wages or other compensation payable to Participant.

 

 

     6. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. Unless otherwise noted in this Agreement,
the Plan and this Agreement are intended to comply with Section 25102(o) of the California
Corporations Code and any provision of this Agreement which is inconsistent with Section 25102(o)
shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the Board, be reformed to comply with
the requirements of Section 25102(o). The exercise of this Option and the issuance and transfer
of Shares shall be subject to compliance by the Company and Participant with all applicable
requirements of federal and state securities laws and with all applicable requirements of any
stock exchange on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed at the time of such issuance or
transfer. Participant understands that the Company is under no obligation to register or qualify
the Shares with the SEC, any state securities commission or any stock exchange to effect such
compliance.

     7. Nontransferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner
other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of Participant only by Participant. The terms of this Option shall be binding upon the
executors, administrators, successors and assigns of Participant.

     8. Company’s Repurchase Option for Unvested Shares. The Company, or its assignee,
shall have the option to repurchase Participant’s Unvested Shares (as defined in Section 2.2 of
this Agreement) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Exercise Agreement (the
“Repurchase Option”) if Participant is Terminated (as defined in the Plan) for any reason,
or no reason, including without limitation Participant’s death, Disability (as defined in the
Plan), voluntary resignation or termination by the Company with or without Cause.

     9. Company’s Right of First Refusal. Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise
transferred by Participant without the Company’s prior written consent. Before any Vested Shares
held by Participant or any transferee of such Vested Shares (either being sometimes referred to
herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including without limitation a
transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company and/or its assignee(s) shall have an assignable
right of first refusal to purchase the Vested Shares to be sold or transferred (the “Offered
Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Exercise Agreement (the “Right of
First Refusal”). The Company’s Right of First Refusal will terminate upon the Company’s
initial public offering of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under
the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     10. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the Effective Date of
the Plan of some of the federal and California tax consequences of the exercise of this Option and
disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND
REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PARTICIPANT SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING
THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

          10.1 Exercise of ISO. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, there will be no regular
federal or California income tax liability upon the exercise of this Option, although the excess,
if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price
will be treated as a tax preference item for federal alternative minimum tax purposes and may
subject the Participant to the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.

          10.2 Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Option. If this Option does not qualify as an
ISO, there may be a regular federal and California income tax liability upon the exercise of this
Option. Participant will be treated as having received compensation income (taxable at ordinary
income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Participant is or was an employee of the Company, the
Company will be required to withhold from Participant’s compensation or collect from Participant
and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation
income at the time of exercise.

          10.3 Disposition of Shares. The following tax consequences may apply upon disposition
of Shares.

 

 

               a. ISOs. If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months after the date of the
transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of an ISO and are disposed of more than two years
after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as capital
gain for federal and California income tax purposes. If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed
of within the applicable one year or two year period, any gain realized on such disposition will be
treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the excess, if
any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price.

               b. Nonqualified Stock Options. If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months
after the date of the transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock
Option, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as Long-Term Capital Gain .

               c. Withholding. The Company may be required to withhold from Participant’s
compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount
equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

          10.4. Section 83(b) Election for Unvested Shares. With respect to Unvested Shares,
which are subject to the Repurchase Option, unless an election is filed by the Participant with
the Internal Revenue Service (and, if necessary, the proper state taxing authorities), within
30 days of the purchase of the Unvested Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code
(and similar state tax provisions, if applicable) to be taxed currently on any difference between
the Exercise Price of the Unvested Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase,
there may be a recognition of taxable income (including, where applicable, alternative minimum
taxable income) to the Participant, measured by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of
the Unvested Shares at the time they cease to be Unvested Shares, over the Exercise Price of the
Unvested Shares.

          10.5 Section 409A. Participant acknowledges that, under Section 409A of the Code,
receipt of a stock option with an exercise price per share that is less than the fair market value
of the stock subject to the option at the time of grant can result in significant adverse tax
consequences to the Participant, including without limitation the imputation of taxable income to
the Participant on the difference between the exercise price and fair market value as the option
vests and the imposition of an additional excise tax on the Participant. The Company does not
make any representation to Participant that the Exercise Price of this Option was equal to the
fair market value per share of the Shares as of the Date of Grant. Participant acknowledges and
agrees that neither the Company, nor its officers, directors, stockholders, employees, attorneys,
agents, successors or assigns, shall have any liability to Participant should it be determined
hereafter that the Exercise Price of this Option is less than the fair market value per share of
the Shares as of the Date of Grant. If Participant desires advice regarding Section 409A of the
Code with respect to this Option, Participant should consult with Participant’s own tax and/or
financial advisors. Participant acknowledges that Participant is under no obligation to accept
this Option.

     11. Privileges of Stock Ownership. Participant shall not have any of the rights of a
shareholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued to Participant.

     12. Interpretation. Any dispute regarding the interpretation of this Agreement shall
be submitted by Participant or the Company to the Committee for review. The resolution of such a
dispute by the Committee shall be final and binding on the Company and Participant.

     13. Entire Agreement. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. This Agreement
and the Plan constitute the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior undertakings
and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.

     14. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the
terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the
Company at its principal
corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Participant shall be in
writing and addressed to Participant at the address indicated above or to such other address as
such party may designate in writing from time to time to the Company. All notices shall be deemed
to have been given or delivered upon: personal delivery; three

 

 

(3) days after deposit in the
United States mail by certified or registered mail (return receipt requested); one (1) business
day after deposit with any return receipt express courier (prepaid); or one (1) business day after
transmission by facsimile, rapifax or telecopier.

     15. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement, including its rights to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Option and the Right of
First Refusal. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors
and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein, this
Agreement shall be binding upon Participant and Participant’s heirs, executors, administrators,
legal representatives, successors and assigns.

     16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements between California
residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California. If any provision of this
Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then such provision will
be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain fully effective
and enforceable.

     17. Acceptance. Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and
this Agreement. Participant has read and understands the terms and provisions thereof, and
accepts this Option subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement.
Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon exercise of this Option
or disposition of the Shares and that Participant should consult a tax adviser prior to such
exercise or disposition.

          2.2 Deliveries by the Company. Upon its receipt of the Exercise Price and all the
documents to be executed and delivered by Purchaser to the Company under Section
2.1, the Company will issue a duly executed stock certificate evidencing the Shares in the
name of Purchaser, to be placed in escrow as provided in Section 11 until expiration or termination
of the Company’s Repurchase Option and Right of First Refusal described in Sections 8 and 9.

 

 

     3. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to
the Company that:

          3.1 Agrees to Terms of the Plan. Purchaser has received a copy of the Plan and the
Stock Option Agreement, has read and understands the terms of the Plan, the Stock Option Agreement
and this Exercise Agreement, and agrees to be bound by their terms and conditions. Purchaser
acknowledges that there may be adverse tax consequences upon exercise of the Option or disposition
of the Shares, and that Purchaser should consult a tax adviser prior to such exercise or
disposition.

          3.2 Purchase for Own Account for Investment. Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for
Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in
connection with, a distribution of the Shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”). Purchaser has no present intention of selling or otherwise
disposing of all or any portion of the Shares and no one other than Purchaser has any beneficial
ownership of any of the Shares.

          3.3 Access to Information. Purchaser has had access to all information regarding the
Company and its present and prospective business, assets, liabilities and financial condition that
Purchaser reasonably considers important in making the decision to purchase the Shares, and
Purchaser has had ample opportunity to ask questions of the Company’s representatives concerning
such matters and this investment.

          3.4 Understanding of Risks. Purchaser is fully aware of: (i) the highly speculative
nature of the investment in the Shares; (ii) the financial hazards involved; (iii) the lack of
liquidity of the Shares and the restrictions on transferability of the Shares (e.g., that
Purchaser may not be able to sell or dispose of the Shares or use them as collateral for loans);
(iv) the qualifications and backgrounds of the management of the Company; and (v) the tax
consequences of investment in the Shares. Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks
of this investment, has the ability to protect Purchaser’s own interests in this transaction and is
financially capable of bearing a total loss of this investment.

          3.5 No General Solicitation. At no time was Purchaser presented with or solicited by
any publicly issued or circulated newspaper, mail, radio, television or other form of general
advertising or solicitation in connection with the offer, sale and purchase of the Shares.

     4. Compliance with Securities Laws.

          4.1 Compliance with Federal Securities Laws. Purchaser understands and acknowledges
that the Shares have not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
under the Securities Act and that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Stock Option
Agreement to the contrary, the exercise of any rights to purchase any Shares is expressly
conditioned upon compliance with the Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws.
Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Company to ensure compliance with such laws. The Shares are
being issued under the Securities Act pursuant to the exemption provided by SEC Rule 701.

          4.2 Compliance with California Securities Laws. Unless otherwise noted in the stock
option agreement, the Plan, the stock option agreement, and this Agreement are intended to comply
with Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code and any provision of this Agreement which
is inconsistent with Section 25102(o) shall, without further act or amendment by the Company or the
Board, be reformed to comply with the requirements of Section 25102(o). THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES
THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS EXERCISE AGREEMENT, IF NOT YET

 

 

QUALIFIED WITH THE CALIFORNIA
COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS AND NOT EXEMPT FROM SUCH QUALIFICATION, IS SUBJECT TO SUCH
QUALIFICATION, AND THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH SECURITIES, AND THE RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE
CONSIDERATION THEREFOR PRIOR TO SUCH QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL UNLESS THE SALE IS EXEMPT. THE
RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES TO THIS EXERCISE AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON SUCH QUALIFICATION
BEING OBTAINED OR AN EXEMPTION BEING AVAILABLE.

     5. Restricted Securities.

          5.1 No Transfer Unless Registered or Exempt. Purchaser understands that Purchaser may
not transfer any Shares unless such Shares are registered under the Securities Act or qualified
under applicable state securities laws or unless, in the opinion of counsel to the Company,
exemptions from such registration and qualification requirements are available. Purchaser
understands that only the Company may file a registration statement with the SEC and that the
Company is under no obligation to do so with respect to the Shares. Purchaser has also been
advised that exemptions from registration and qualification may not be available or may not permit
Purchaser to transfer all or any of the Shares in the amounts or at the times proposed by
Purchaser.

          5.2 SEC Rule 144. In addition, Purchaser has been advised that SEC Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits certain limited sales of unregistered
securities, is not presently available with respect to the Shares and, in any event, requires that
the Shares be held for a minimum holding period, after they have been purchased and paid for
(within the meaning of Rule 144). Purchaser understands that Rule 144 may indefinitely restrict
transfer of the Shares so long as Purchaser remains an “affiliate” of the Company or if “current
public information” about the Company (as defined in Rule 144) is not publicly available.
Effective April 29, 1997, the Rule 144 holding period will be one year and in certain cases two
years.

          5.3 SEC Rule 701. The Shares are issued pursuant to SEC Rule 701 promulgated under the
Securities Act and may become freely tradeable by non-affiliates (under limited conditions
regarding the method of sale) 90 days after the first sale of Common Stock of the Company to the
general public pursuant to a registration statement filed with and declared effective by the SEC,
subject to the lengthier market standoff agreement contained in Section 7 of this Exercise
Agreement or any other agreement entered into by Purchaser. Affiliates must comply with the
provisions (other than the holding period requirements) of Rule 144.

     6. Restrictions on Transfers.

          6.1 Disposition of Shares. Purchaser hereby agrees that Purchaser shall make no
disposition of the Shares (other than as permitted by this Agreement) unless and until:

               (a) Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and provided a
written summary of the terms and conditions of the proposed disposition;

               (b) Purchaser shall have complied with all requirements of this Exercise Agreement applicable
to the disposition of the Shares;

               (c) Purchaser shall have provided the Company with written assurances, in form and substance
satisfactory to counsel for the Company, that (i) the proposed disposition does not require
registration of the Shares under the Securities Act or (ii) all appropriate

 

 

action necessary for
compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or of any exemption from
registration available under the Securities Act (including Rule 144) has been taken; and

               (d) Purchaser shall have provided the Company with written assurances, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company, that the proposed disposition will not result in the contravention of
any transfer restrictions applicable to the Shares pursuant to the provisions of the Commissioner
Rules identified in Section 4.2.

          6.2 Restriction on Transfer. Purchaser shall not transfer, assign, grant a lien or
security interest in, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares which
are subject to the Company’s Repurchase Option or the Company’s Right of First Refusal, except as
permitted by this Exercise Agreement.

          6.3 Transferee Obligations. Each person (other than the Company) to whom the Shares
are transferred by means of one of the permitted transfers specified in this Exercise Agreement
must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the
Company that such person is bound by the provisions of this Exercise Agreement and that the
transferred Shares are subject to (i) both the Company’s Repurchase Option and the Company’s Right
of First Refusal granted hereunder and (ii) the market stand-off provisions of Section 7, to the
same extent such Shares would be so subject if retained by the Purchaser.

     7. Market Standoff Agreement. Purchaser agrees in connection with any registration of
the Company’s securities that, upon the request of the Company or the underwriters managing any
public offering of the Company’s securities, Purchaser will not sell or otherwise dispose of any
Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or such underwriters, as the case may be,
for such period of time (not to exceed 180 days) after the effective date of such registration
requested by such managing underwriters and subject to all restrictions as the Company or the
underwriters may specify. Purchaser will enter into any agreement reasonably required by the
underwriters to implement the foregoing.

     8. Company’s Repurchase Option for Unvested Shares. The Company, or its assignee,
shall have the option to repurchase Purchaser’s Unvested Shares (as defined in Section 2.2 of the
Stock Option Agreement) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the “Repurchase
Option”) if Purchaser is Terminated (as defined in the Plan) for any reason, or no reason,
including without limitation Purchaser’s death, Disability (as defined in the Plan), voluntary
resignation or termination by the Company with or without cause.

          8.1 Termination and Termination Date. In case of any dispute as to whether Purchaser
is Terminated, the Committee shall have discretion to determine whether Purchaser has been
Terminated and the effective date of such Termination (the “Termination Date”).

          8.2 Exercise of Repurchase Option. At any time within ninety (90) days after the
Purchaser’s Termination Date (or, in the case of securities issued upon exercise after the
Purchaser’s Termination Date, within ninety (90) days after the date of such exercise), the
Company, or
its assignee, may elect to repurchase the Purchaser’s Unvested Shares by giving Purchaser
written notice of exercise of the Repurchase Option.

          8.3 Calculation of Repurchase Price for Unvested Shares. The Company or its assignee
shall have the option to repurchase from Purchaser (or from Purchaser’s personal representative as
the case may be) the Unvested Shares at the Purchaser’s Exercise Price, proportionately

 

 

adjusted
for any stock split or similar change in the capital structure of the Company as set forth in
Section 2.2 of the Plan.

          8.4 Payment of Repurchase Price. The repurchase price shall be payable, at the option
of the Company or its assignee, by check or by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding
indebtedness of Purchaser to the Company or such assignee, or by any combination thereof. The
repurchase price shall be paid without interest within sixty (60) days after exercise of the
Repurchase Option.

          8.5 Right of Termination Unaffected. Nothing in this Exercise Agreement shall be construed to
limit or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company (or any Parent
or Subsidiary of the Company) to terminate Purchaser’s employment or other relationship with
Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) at any time, for any reason or no reason, with
or without cause.

     9. Company’s Right of First Refusal. Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise
transferred by Purchaser without the Company’s prior written consent. Before any Vested Shares
held by Purchaser or any transferee of such Vested Shares (either being sometimes referred to
herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise transferred (including without limitation a
transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company and/or its assignee(s) shall have an assignable
right of first refusal to purchase the Vested Shares to be sold or transferred (the “Offered
Shares”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the “Right of First
Refusal”).

          9.1 Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Offered Shares shall deliver to the
Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to
sell or otherwise transfer the Offered Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed bona fide purchaser
or other transferee (“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Offered Shares to be
transferred to each Proposed Transferee; (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for
which the Holder proposes to transfer the Offered Shares (the “Offered Price”); and (v) that
the Holder will offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Company and/or its assignee(s) at the
Offered Price as provided in this Section.

          9.2 Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after the
date of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the Holder,
elect to purchase the Offered Shares proposed to be transferred to any one or more of the Proposed
Transferees named in the Notice, at the purchase price determined as specified below.

          9.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Offered Shares purchased under this
Section will be the Offered Price. If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash,
then the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall conclusively be deemed to be the
value of such non-cash consideration as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of
Directors.

          9.4 Payment. Payment of the purchase price for the Offered Shares will be payable, at
the option of the Company and/or its assignee(s) (as applicable), by check or by cancellation of
all or a portion of any outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or to such assignee,
in the case of a purchase of Offered Shares by such assignee) or by any combination thereof. The
purchase price will be paid without interest within sixty (60) days after the Company’s receipt of
the Notice, or, at the option of the Company and/or its assignee(s), in the manner and at the
time(s) set forth in the Notice.

          9.5 Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Offered Shares proposed in the Notice to
be transferred to a given Proposed Transferee are not purchased by the Company and/or its
assignee(s) as provided in this Section, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer such
Offered Shares

 

 

to that Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price,
provided that such sale or other transfer is consummated within 120 days after the date of
the Notice, and provided further, that (i) any such sale or other transfer is
effected in compliance with all applicable securities laws and (ii) the Proposed Transferee agrees
in writing that the provisions of this Section will continue to apply to the Offered Shares in the
hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Offered Shares described in the Notice are not
transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such 120 day period, then a new Notice must be given
to the Company, and the Company will again be offered the Right of First Refusal before any Shares
held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.

          9.6 Exempt Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the
following transfers of Vested Shares will be exempt from the Right of First Refusal: (i) the
transfer of any or all of the Vested Shares during Purchaser’s lifetime by gift or on Purchaser’s
death by will or intestacy to Purchaser’s “immediate family” (as defined below) or to a trust for
the benefit of Purchaser or Purchaser’s immediate family, provided that each transferee or other
recipient agrees in a writing satisfactory to the Company that the provisions of this Section will
continue to apply to the transferred Vested Shares in the hands of such transferee or other
recipient; (ii) any transfer of Vested Shares made pursuant to a statutory merger or statutory
consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or corporations (except that the
Right of First Refusal will continue to apply thereafter to such Vested Shares, in which case the
surviving corporation of such merger or consolidation shall succeed to the rights of the Company
under this Section unless the agreement of merger or consolidation expressly otherwise provides);
or (iii) any transfer of Vested Shares pursuant to the winding up and dissolution of the Company.
As used herein, the term “immediate family” will mean Purchaser’s spouse, the lineal
descendant or antecedent, father, mother, brother or sister, child, adopted child, grandchild or
adopted grandchild of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s spouse, or the spouse of any child, adopted
child, grandchild or adopted grandchild of Purchaser or the Purchaser’s spouse.

          9.7 Termination of Right of First Refusal. The Company’s Right of First Refusal will
terminate upon the Company’s initial public offering of Common Stock pursuant to an effective
registration statement filed under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

     10. Rights as Shareholder. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Exercise
Agreement, Purchaser will have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company with respect to
the Shares from and after the date that Shares are issued to Purchaser until such time as Purchaser
disposes of the Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s) exercise(s) the Repurchase Option or
Right of First Refusal. Upon an exercise of the Repurchase Option or the Right of First Refusal,
Purchaser will have no further rights as a holder of the Shares so purchased upon such exercise,
except the right to receive payment for the Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions
of this Exercise
Agreement, and Purchaser will promptly surrender the stock certificate(s) evidencing the
Shares so purchased to the Company for transfer or cancellation.

     11. Escrow. As security for Purchaser’s faithful performance of this Agreement,
Purchaser agrees, immediately upon receipt of the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, to
deliver such certificate(s), together with the Stock Powers executed by Purchaser and by
Purchaser’s spouse, if any (with the date and number of Shares left blank), to the Secretary of the
Company or other designee of the Company (“Escrow Holder”), who is hereby appointed to hold
such certificate(s) and Stock Powers in escrow and to take all such actions and to effectuate all
such transfers and/or releases of such Shares as are in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Purchaser and the Company agree that Escrow Holder will not be liable to any party to
this Exercise Agreement (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless Escrow Holder
is grossly negligent or intentionally fraudulent in carrying out the duties of Escrow Holder under
this Exercise Agreement. Escrow Holder may rely upon any letter, notice or other document executed
by any signature purported to be genuine and may rely on the advice of counsel

 

 

and obey any order
of any court with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Shares will be
released from escrow upon termination of both the Repurchase Option and the Right of First Refusal.

     12. Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.

          12.1 Legends. Purchaser understands and agrees that the Company will place the legends
set forth below or similar legends on any stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares, together with
any other legends that may be required by state or federal securities laws, the Company’s Articles
of Incorporation or Bylaws, any other agreement between Purchaser and the Company or any agreement
between Purchaser and any third party:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF
CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND
RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION
THEREFROM. INVESTORS SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THEY MAY BE REQUIRED TO BEAR THE FINANCIAL
RISKS OF THIS INVESTMENT FOR AN INDEFINITE PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUER OF THESE
SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE
ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY PROPOSED TRANSFER OR RESALE IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
SECURITIES ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON
PUBLIC RESALE AND TRANSFER, RIGHT OF REPURCHASE AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL OPTIONS
HELD BY THE ISSUER AND/OR ITS ASSIGNEE(S) AS SET FORTH IN A STOCK OPTION EXERCISE
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE ORIGINAL HOLDER OF THESE SHARES, A COPY OF WHICH
MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE ISSUER. SUCH PUBLIC SALE AND TRANSFER
RESTRICTIONS AND THE RIGHT OF REPURCHASE AND RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ARE BINDING ON
TRANSFEREES OF THESE SHARES.

          12.2 Stop-Transfer Instructions. Purchaser agrees that, to ensure compliance with
the restrictions imposed by this Agreement, the Company may issue appropriate “stop-transfer”
instructions to its transfer agent, if any, and if the Company transfers its own securities, it may
make appropriate notations to the same effect in its own records.

          12.3 Refusal to Transfer. The Company will not be required (i) to transfer on its
books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions
of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares, or to accord the right to vote or pay
dividends to any purchaser or other transferee to whom such Shares have been so transferred.

     13. Tax Consequences. PURCHASER UNDERSTANDS THAT PURCHASER MAY SUFFER ADVERSE TAX
CONSEQUENCES AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S PURCHASE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES. PURCHASER
REPRESENTS THAT PURCHASER HAS CONSULTED WITH ANY TAX ADVISER PURCHASER DEEMS ADVISABLE IN
CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OR DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES AND THAT PURCHASER IS NOT RELYING ON THE
COMPANY FOR ANY TAX ADVICE. IN PARTICULAR, IF THE UNVESTED SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO REPURCHASE BY THE
COMPANY, PURCHASER REPRESENTS THAT PURCHASER HAS CONSULTED WITH PURCHASER’S TAX ADVISER CONCERNING
THE ADVISABILITY OF FILING AN 83(b) ELECTION WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. Set forth below is
a brief summary as of the date the Plan was adopted by the Board of some

 

 

of the federal and
California tax consequences of exercise of the Option and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY
IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE, AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. PURCHASER
SHOULD CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXECUTING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.

          13.1 Exercise of Incentive Stock Option. If the Option qualifies as an incentive stock
option, there will be no regular federal income tax liability or California income tax liability
upon the exercise of the Option, although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as a tax preference item for
federal alternative minimum tax purposes and may subject Purchaser to the alternative minimum tax
in the year of exercise.

          13.2 Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Option. If the Option does not qualify as an
incentive stock option, there may be a regular federal income tax liability and a California income
tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Purchaser will be treated as having received
compensation income (taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If Purchaser is or was
an employee of the Company, the Company will be required to withhold from Purchaser’s compensation
or collect from Purchaser and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a
percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

          13.3 Disposition of Shares. The following tax consequences may apply upon disposition
of Shares.

               a. ISOs. If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months after the date of the
transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of an ISO and are disposed of more than two years
after the Date of Grant, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as capital
gain for federal and California income tax purposes. If Shares purchased under an ISO are disposed
of within the applicable one year or two year period, any gain realized on such disposition will be
treated as compensation income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the excess, if
any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price.

               b. Nonqualified Stock Options. If the Shares are held for more than twelve (12) months
after the date of the transfer of the Shares pursuant to the exercise of a
Nonqualified Stock Option, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will be treated as
Long-Term Capital Gain.

               c. Withholding. The Company may be required to withhold from Participant’s
compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount
equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.

          13.4. Section 83(b) Election for Unvested Shares. With respect to Unvested Shares,
which are subject to the Repurchase Option, unless an election is filed by the Purchaser with the
Internal Revenue Service (and, if necessary, the proper state taxing authorities), within 30
days of the purchase of the Unvested Shares, electing pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code
(and similar state tax provisions, if applicable) to be taxed currently on any difference between
the Exercise Price of the Unvested Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of purchase,
there may be a recognition of taxable income (including, where applicable, alternative minimum
taxable income) to the Purchaser, measured by the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the
Unvested Shares at the time they cease to be Unvested Shares, over the Exercise Price of the
Unvested Shares.

 

 

     14. Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The issuance and transfer of the Shares will
be subject to and conditioned upon compliance by the Company and Purchaser with all applicable
state and federal laws and regulations and with all applicable requirements of any stock exchange
or automated quotation system on which the Company’s Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the
time of such issuance or transfer.

     15. Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement, including its rights to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Option and the Right of
First Refusal. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and
assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth, this Agreement
will be binding upon Purchaser and Purchaser’s heirs, executors, administrators, legal
representatives, successors and assigns.

     16. Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of California as such laws are applied to agreements
between California residents entered into and to be performed entirely within California. If any
provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable, then
such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent possible and the other provisions will remain
fully effective and enforceable.

     17. Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company shall be in
writing and addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at its principal corporate offices.
Any notice required to be given or delivered to Purchaser shall be in writing and addressed to
Purchaser at the address indicated above or to such other address as Purchaser may designate in
writing from time to time to the Company. All notices shall be deemed effectively given upon
personal delivery, three (3) days after deposit in the United States mail by certified or
registered mail (return receipt requested), one (1) business day after its deposit with any return
receipt express courier (prepaid), or one (1) business day after transmission by rapifax or
telecopier.

     18. Further Instruments. The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to
take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of
this Agreement.

     19. Headings. The captions and headings of this Agreement are included for ease of
reference only and will be disregarded in interpreting or construing this Agreement. All
references herein to Sections will refer to Sections of this Agreement.

     20. Entire Agreement. The Plan, the Stock Option Agreement and this Exercise
Agreement, together with all its Exhibits, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the
parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all prior
understandings and agreements, whether oral or written, between the parties hereto with respect to
the specific subject matter hereof.
