                                (a)           Stock Subject to the Plan.  Subject to the provisions of Section 14
of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under
the Plan is 4,500,000 Shares, plus (i) any Shares that, as of the
Registration Date, have been reserved but not issued pursuant to any awards
granted under the XDx, Inc. 1998 Stock Plan (the “Old Plan”) and
are not subject to any awards granted thereunder, and (ii) any Shares
subject to stock options or similar awards granted under the Old Plan that
expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full and Shares
issued pursuant to awards granted under the Old Plan that are forfeited to or
repurchased by the Company.  The Shares
may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.

 

                                (b)           Automatic Share Reserve Increase.  The number of Shares available for issuance
under the Plan shall be increased on the first day of each Fiscal Year
beginning with the 2008 Fiscal Year, in an amount equal to the least of (i) two
million two hundred fifty thousand (2,250,000) Shares, (ii) five percent (5%)
of the outstanding Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal
Year or (iii) such number of Shares determined by the Board.

 

                                (c)           Lapsed Awards.  If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable
without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an Exchange
Program, or, with respect to Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units,
Performance Units or Performance Shares, is forfeited to or repurchased by the
Company due to failure to vest, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other
than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights the forfeited or repurchased Shares)
which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under
the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). 
With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, only Shares actually issued
pursuant to a Stock Appreciation Right will cease to be available under the
Plan; all remaining Shares under Stock Appreciation Rights will remain
available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has
terminated).  Shares that have actually
been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and
will not become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided,
however, that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted
Stock Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units are repurchased by the
Company or are forfeited to the Company, such Shares will become available for
future grant under the Plan.  Shares used
to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the tax withholding
obligations related to an Award will become available for future grant or sale
under the Plan.  To the extent an Award
under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will
not result in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the
Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and,
subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14, the maximum number of
Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall
equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to the
extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for
issuance under the Plan pursuant to Section 3(c).

 

                                (d)           Share Reserve.  The Company, during the term of this Plan,
will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be
sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

                4.             Administration of the Plan.

will be administered by a Committee of two (2) or more “outside directors”
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

                                                (iii)          Rule 16b-3.  To the extent desirable to qualify

for use under the Plan;

 

                                                (v)           to determine the terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted
hereunder.  Such terms and conditions
include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when
Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any
vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction
or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each
case on such factors as the Administrator will determine;

 

                                                (vi)          to determine the terms and conditions

withholding tax obligations in such manner as prescribed in Section 15;

 

                                                (xi)           to authorize any person to execute on
behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award
previously granted by the Administrator;

 

                                                (xii)          to allow a Participant to defer the
receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise
be due to such Participant under an Award

 

                                                (xiii)         to make all other determinations deemed

                6.             Stock Options.

 

                                (a)           Limitations.  Each Option will be designated in the Award
Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock
Option.  However, notwithstanding such
designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first
time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the
Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000),
such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For purposes of this Section 6(a),
Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they
were granted.  The Fair Market Value of
the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such
Shares is granted.

 

                                (b)           Term of Option.  The term of each Option will be stated in the
Award Agreement.  In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, the term will be ten (10) years from the date of
grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.  Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is
granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or
Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years
from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award
Agreement.

                                (c)           Option Exercise Price and
Consideration.

 

                                                (i)            Exercise Price.  The per share exercise price for the Shares
to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be determined by the
Administrator, subject to the following:

 

                                                                (1)           In the case of an Incentive Stock
Option

 

                                                                                a)             granted to an Employee who, at the
time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than
ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or
any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of
grant.

 

                                                                                b)            granted to any Employee other than
an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share
exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair
Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

                                                                (2)           In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock
Option, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

                                                                (3)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options
may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a
transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of
the Code.

 

                                                (ii)           Waiting Period and Exercise Dates.  At the time an Option is granted, the
Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and
will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be
exercised.

 

                                                (iii)          Form of Consideration.  The Administrator will determine the
acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method
of payment.  In the case of an Incentive
Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration
at the time of grant.  Such consideration
may consist entirely of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) promissory
note, (4) other Shares, provided Shares acquired directly or indirectly
from the Company, (A) have been owned by the Participant and not subject
to substantial risk of forfeiture for more than six months on the date of
surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal
to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option will be
exercised; (5) consideration received by the Company under a
broker-assisted (or other) cashless exercise program implemented by the Company
in connection with the Plan; (6) any combination of the foregoing methods
of payment; or (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the
issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

                                (d)           Exercise of Option.

 

                                                (i)            Procedure for Exercise; Rights as
a Stockholder.  Any Option granted
hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such
times and under such

 

8

 

conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the
Award Agreement.  An Option may not be
exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

                                                An
Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) notice of
exercise (in such form as the Administrator specify from time to time) from the
person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with applicable
withholding taxes).  Full payment may
consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the
Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan.  Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will
be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant,
in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse.  Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by
the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any
other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to
an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  The Company will issue (or cause to be
issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or
other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are
issued, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan.

 

                                                Exercising
an Option in any manner will decrease the number of Shares thereafter
available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the
number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 

                                                (ii)           Termination of Relationship as a
Service Provider.  If a Participant
ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s death or
Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period
of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is
vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of
the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the
Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for three (3) months
following the Participant’s termination. 
Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of
termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the
Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the
Plan.  If after termination the
Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by
the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option will revert to the Plan.

 

                                                (iii)          Disability of Participant.  If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider
as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his
or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement
to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event
later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award
Agreement).  In the absence of a
specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for
twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination.  Unless otherwise provided by the
Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as
to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the
Option will revert to the Plan.  If after
termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time
specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such
Option will revert to the Plan.

 

                                                (iv)          Death of Participant.  If a Participant dies while a Service
Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant’s death within
such period of time as is specified

 

9

 

in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the
date of death (but in no event may the option be exercised later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by
the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been
designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the
Administrator.  If no such beneficiary
has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by
the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to
whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance
with the laws of descent and distribution. 
In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option
will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant’s
death.  Unless otherwise provided by the
Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or
her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option
will immediately revert to the Plan.  If
the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option
will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

 

                                7.             Restricted Stock.

 

                                                (a)           Grant of Restricted Stock.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the
Plan, the Administrator, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of
Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Administrator, in
its sole discretion, will determine.

 

                                                (b)           Restricted Stock Agreement.  Each Award of Restricted Stock will be
evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction,
the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.  Unless the Administrator determines
otherwise, the Company as escrow agent will hold Shares of Restricted Stock
until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.

 

                                                (c)           Transferability.  Except as provided in this Section 7,
Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of
Restriction.

 

                                                (d)           Other Restrictions.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion,
may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem
advisable or appropriate.

 

                                                (e)           Removal of Restrictions.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7,
Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under
the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day
of the Period of Restriction or at such other time as the Administrator may
determine.  The Administrator, in its
discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be
removed.

 

                                                (f)            Voting Rights.  During the Period of Restriction, Service
Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise
full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Administrator
determines otherwise.

 

                                                (g)           Dividends and Other Distributions.  During the Period of Restriction, Service
Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all
dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares, unless the
Administrator provides otherwise.  If any
such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject
to the same restrictions

 

10

 

on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock
with respect to which they were paid.

 

                                (h)           Return of Restricted Stock to
Company.  On the date set forth in
the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not
lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant
under the Plan.

 

                8.             Restricted Stock Units.

 

                                (a)           Grant.  Restricted Stock Units may be granted at any
time and from time to time as determined by the Administrator.  After the Administrator determines that it
will grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, it shall advise the
Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms, conditions, and restrictions
related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.

 

                                (b)           Vesting Criteria and Other Terms.  The Administrator shall set vesting criteria
in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are
met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out
to the Participant.  The Administrator
may set vesting criteria based upon the achievement of Company-wide, business
unit, or individual goals (including, but not limited to, continued
employment), or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its
discretion.

 

                                (c)           Earning Restricted Stock Units.  Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria,
the Participant shall be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the
Administrator.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria
that must be met to receive a payout.

 

                                (d)           Form and Timing of Payment.  Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units
shall be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined by the
Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion,
may only settle earned Restricted Stock Units in cash, Shares, or a combination
of both.

 

                                (e)           Cancellation.  On the date set forth in the Award Agreement,
all unearned Restricted Stock Units shall be forfeited to the Company.

 

                9.             Stock Appreciation Rights.

 

                                (a)           Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to Service Providers at any
time and from time to time as will be determined by the Administrator, in its
sole discretion.

 

                                (b)           Number of Shares.  The Administrator will have complete
discretion to determine the number of Stock Appreciation Rights granted to any
Service Provider.

 

                (c)           Exercise Price and Other Terms.  The per share exercise price for the Shares
to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Stock Appreciation Right shall be
determined by the Administrator and shall be no less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per

 

11

 

share on the date of grant. 
Otherwise, subject to Section 6(a) of the Plan, the
Administrator, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete
discretion to determine the terms and conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights
granted under the Plan.

 

                                (d)           Stock Appreciation Right Agreement.  Each Stock Appreciation Right grant will be
evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term
of the Stock Appreciation Right, the conditions of exercise, and such other
terms and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, will
determine.

 

                                (e)           Expiration of Stock Appreciation
Rights.  An Stock Appreciation Right
granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the rules of Section 6(d) also will apply to Stock Appreciation
Rights.

 

                                (f)            Payment of Stock Appreciation
Right Amount.  Upon exercise of an Stock
Appreciation Right, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the
Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

 

                                                (i)            The difference between the Fair
Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise over the exercise price; times

 

                                                (ii)           The number of Shares with respect to
which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

 

At the discretion of the Administrator, the payment upon Stock
Appreciation Right exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or
in some combination thereof.

 

                10.           Performance Units and Performance
Shares.

 

                                (a)           Grant of Performance Units/Shares.  Performance Units and Performance Shares may
be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as will be
determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion.  The Administrator will have complete
discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance
Shares granted to each Participant.

 

                                (b)           Value of Performance Units/Shares.  Each Performance Unit will have an initial
value that is established by the Administrator on or before the date of
grant.  Each Performance Share will have
an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
grant.

 

                                (c)           Performance Objectives and Other
Terms.  The Administrator will set
performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including, without
limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which,
depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or
value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Service
Providers.  The time period during which
the performance objectives or other vesting provisions must be met will be
called the “Performance Period.”  Each
Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that
will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, will determine.  The Administrator may set performance
objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or

 

12

 

individual goals, applicable federal or state securities laws, or any
other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.

 

                                d)            Earning of Performance
Units/Shares.  After the applicable
Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares will be
entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned
by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function
of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other
vesting provisions have been achieved. 
After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other
vesting provisions for such Performance Unit/Share.

 

                                (e)           Form and Timing of Payment of
Performance Units/Shares.  Payment of
earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as soon as practicable after the
expiration of the applicable Performance Period.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion,
may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which
have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned
Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or
in a combination thereof.

 

                                (f)            Cancellation of Performance
Units/Shares.  On the date set forth
in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares will
be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the
Plan.

 

                11.           Formula Awards to Outside
Directors.

 

                                (a)           General.  Outside Directors will be entitled to receive
all types of Awards (except Incentive Stock Options) under this Plan, including
discretionary Awards not covered under this Section 11.  All grants of Awards to Outside Directors
pursuant to this Section will be automatic and nondiscretionary, except as
otherwise provided herein, and will be made in accordance with the following
provisions:

 

                                (b)           Type of Option.  If Options are granted pursuant to this Section they
will be Nonstatutory Stock Options and, except as otherwise provided herein,
will be subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan.

 

                                (c)           No Discretion.  No person will have any discretion to select
which Outside Directors will be granted Awards under this Section or to
determine the number of Shares to be covered by such Awards (except as provided
in Sections 11(g) and 14).

 

                                (d)           Initial Award.  Each (i) Outside Director and (ii) person
who first becomes an Outside Director following the Registration Date will be
automatically granted an Option to purchase twenty thousand (20,000) Shares
(the “Initial Award”) on the Registration Date or on or about the date
on which such person first becomes an Outside Director, respectively, whether
through election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board
to fill a vacancy; provided, however, that an Inside Director who ceases to be
an Inside Director, but who remains a Director, will not receive an Initial
Award.

 

                                (e)           Annual Award.  Each Outside Director will be automatically
granted an Option to purchase ten thousand (10,000) Shares (an “Annual Award”)
on each date of the annual meeting of the

 

13

 

stockholders of the Company beginning in 2008, if as of such date, he
or she will have served on the Board for at least the preceding six (6) months.

 

                                (f)            Terms.  The terms of each Award granted pursuant to
this Section will be as follows:

 

                                                (i)            The term of the Award will be ten (10) years.

 

                                                (ii)           The exercise price for Shares subject
to Awards will be 100% of the Fair Market Value on the grant date.

 

                                                (iii)          Subject to Section 14, the Initial
Award will vest and become exercisable as to one forty-eighth (1/48th) of the
Shares subject to the Initial Option on each monthly anniversary of its grant
date, provided that the Participant continues to serve as a Director through
each such date.

 

                                                (iv)          Subject to Section 14, the Annual
Award will vest and become exercisable as to one twelfth (1/12th) of the Shares
subject to the Initial Option on each monthly anniversary of its grant date,
provided that the Participant continues to serve as a Director through such
date.

 

                                (g)           Adjustments.  The Administrator in its discretion may
change and otherwise revise the terms of Awards granted under this Section 11,
including, without limitation, the number of Shares and exercise prices
thereof, for Awards granted on or after the date the Administrator determines
to make any such change or revision.

 

                12.           Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between
Locations.  Unless the Administrator
provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended
during any unpaid leave of absence.  A
Service Provider will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any
leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between
locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any
Subsidiary.  For purposes of Incentive
Stock Options, no such leave may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment
upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract.  If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of
absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then three (3) months
following the ninety-first (91st) day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option
held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option
and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

 

                13.           Transferability of Awards.  Unless determined otherwise by the
Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated,
transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of
descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Participant, only by the Participant.  If
the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such
additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 

                14.           Adjustments; Dissolution or
Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

 

                                (a)           Adjustments.  In the event that any dividend or other
distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other
property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange
of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate
structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in
order to prevent diminution or

 

14

 

enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made
available under the Plan, shall adjust the number and class of Shares that may
be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares
covered by each outstanding Award, and the numerical Share limits in Sections 3
and 11 of the Plan.

 

                                (b)           Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as
soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed
transaction.  To the extent it has not
been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such proposed action.

 

                                (c)           Change in Control.  In the event of a merger or Change in
Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator
determines, including, without limitation, that each Award be assumed or an
equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent
or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. 
The Administrator shall not be required to treat all Awards similarly in
the transaction.

 

                                In
the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the
Award, the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of
his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares
as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all
restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and,
with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or
other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of
target levels and all other terms and conditions met.  In addition, if an Option or Stock
Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in
Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or
electronically that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable
for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion,
and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration
of such period.

 

                                For
the purposes of this subsection (c), an Award will be considered assumed
if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or
receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in
Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)
received in the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share
held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a
choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a
majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such
consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of
the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the
consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be
received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the
payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Unit or Performance Share, for
each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor
corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share
consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.

 

                                Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 14(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests,
is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals
will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of
such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a
modification to such performance goals only to reflect

 

15

 

the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure
will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

 

                                (d)           Outside Director Awards.  With respect to Awards granted to an Outside
Director that are assumed or substituted for, if on the date of or following
such assumption or substitution the Participant’s status as a Director or a
director of the successor corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than
upon a voluntary resignation by the Participant (unless such resignation is at
the request of the acquirer), then the Participant will fully vest in and have
the right to exercise Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights as to all of the
Shares underlying such Award, including those Shares which would not otherwise
be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted
Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Performance Units and Performance
Shares, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved
at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and
conditions met.

 

                15.           Tax Withholding.

 

                                (a)           Withholding Requirements.  Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash
pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and
the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the
Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or
other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be
withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

 

                                (b)           Withholding Arrangements.  The Administrator, in its sole discretion and
pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a
Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without
limitation) (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company
withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares having a Fair Market Value equal
to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld, or (c) delivering
to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the
minimum statutory amount required to be withheld.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be
withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are
required to be withheld.

 

                16.           No Effect on Employment or Service.  Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer
upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s
relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor will they interfere in
any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such
relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by
Applicable Laws.

 

                17.           Date of Grant.  The date of grant of an Award will be, for
all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination
granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the
Administrator.  Notice of the
determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time
after the date of such grant.

 

                                18.           Term of Plan.  Subject to Section 22 of the Plan, the
Plan will become effective upon its adoption by the Board.  It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years
from the date adopted by the Board, unless terminated earlier under Section 19
of the Plan.

 

19.           Amendment and
Termination of the Plan.

 

16

 

                                (a)           Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend, alter,
suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

                                (b)           Stockholder Approval.  The Company will obtain stockholder approval
of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with
Applicable Laws.

 

                                (c)           Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment, alteration, suspension or
termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless
mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which
agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the
Company.  Termination of the Plan will
not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it
hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of
such termination.

 

                20.           Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

 

                                (a)           Legal Compliance.  Shares will not be issued pursuant to the
exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and
delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such
compliance.

 

                                (b)           Investment Representations.  As a condition to the exercise of an Award,
the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and
warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased
only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute
such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a
representation is required.

 

                                21.           Inability to Obtain Authority.  The inability of the Company to obtain
authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is
deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale
of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect
of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority will not have been obtained.

 

                                22.           Stockholder Approval.  The Plan will be subject to approval by the
stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan
is adopted by the Board.  Such
stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required
under Applicable Laws.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of                
by and between Expression Diagnostics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”)
and                  
(“Indemnitee”).

 

RECITALS

 

                WHEREAS, the
Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified
individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve the Company;

 

                WHEREAS, in order
to induce Indemnitee to continue to provide services to the Company, the
Company wishes to provide for the indemnification of, and advancement of
expenses to, Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law;

 

                WHEREAS, the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Charter”) requires
indemnification of the officers and directors of the Company, and Indemnitee
may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the General Corporation Law
of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”);

 

                WHEREAS, the DGCL
expressly provides that the indemnification provisions set forth therein are
not exclusive, and thereby contemplates that contracts may be entered into
between the Company and members of the board of directors, officers and other
persons with respect to indemnification;

 

                WHEREAS, the
Company and Indemnitee recognize the continued difficulty in obtaining liability
insurance for the Company’s directors, officers, employees, agents and
fiduciaries, the significant and continual increases in the cost of such
insurance and the general trend of insurance companies to reduce the scope of
coverage of such insurance;

 

                WHEREAS, the
Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate
litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, agents and
fiduciaries to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability
and scope of coverage of liability insurance provide increasing challenges for
the Company;

 

                WHEREAS,
Indemnitee does not regard the protection currently provided by applicable law,
the Company’s governing documents and available insurance as adequate under the
present circumstances, and the Indemnitee and certain other directors,
officers, employees, agents and fiduciaries of the Company may not be willing
to continue to serve in such capacities without additional protection;

 

                WHEREAS, the Board
of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the
increased difficulty in attracting and retaining highly qualified persons such
as Indemnitee is detrimental to the best interests of the Company’s
stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there
will be increased certainty of such protection in the future;

 

 

 

                WHEREAS, it is
reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate
itself to indemnify, and to advance expenses on behalf of, such persons to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law so that they will serve or continue
to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so
indemnified; and

 

                WHEREAS, this
Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the indemnification provided
in the Charter and any resolutions adopted pursuant thereto, and shall not be
deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of
Indemnitee thereunder.

 

                NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and the covenants contained herein, the Company
and Indemnitee do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  Services to the Company.  Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director of
the Company.  Indemnitee may at any time
and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual
obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the
Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in
such position.  This Agreement shall not
be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its
subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. 
The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall continue in force
after Indemnitee has ceased to serve as a director of the Company.

 

Section 2.  Definitions.

 

                As used in this
Agreement:

 

(a)           “Corporate Status”
describes the status of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee or
agent of the Company or of any other corporation, partnership or joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise which such person is or was
serving at the request of the Company.

 

(b)           “Enterprise”
shall mean the Company and any other corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which Indemnitee is or was
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent
or fiduciary.

 

(c)           “Expenses”
shall include all reasonable attorneys’ fees, retainers, court costs,
transcript costs, fees of experts, witness fees, travel expenses, duplicating
costs, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, postage, delivery service
fees, and all other disbursements or expenses of the types customarily incurred
in connection with prosecuting, defending, preparing to prosecute or defend,
investigating, being or preparing to be a witness in, or otherwise
participating in, a Proceeding.  Expenses
also shall include Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting
from any Proceeding, including without limitation the premium, security for,
and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedes bond, or other appeal
bond or its equivalent.  Expenses, however,
shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of
judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

 

(d)           “Independent
Counsel” means a law firm, or a partner (or, if applicable, member) of such
a law firm, that is experienced in matters of corporation law and neither
presently is, nor in the past five years has been, retained to represent: (i) the
Company or Indemnitee in any

 

2

 

matter material to
either such party (other than with respect to matters concerning the Indemnitee
under this Agreement, or of other indemnitees under similar indemnification
agreements), or (ii) any other party to the Proceeding giving rise to a
claim for indemnification hereunder.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the term “Independent Counsel” shall not include any person who,
under the 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.  The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully
indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and
damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant
hereto.

 

(e)           The term “Proceeding”
shall include any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, arbitration, alternate
dispute resolution mechanism, investigation, inquiry, administrative hearing or
any other actual, threatened or completed proceeding, whether brought in the
right of the Company or otherwise and whether of a civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative nature, in which Indemnitee was, is or will be
involved as a party or otherwise by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or
was a director of the Company, by reason of any action taken by him or of any
action on his part while acting as director of the Company, or by reason of the
fact that he is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, in each case whether or not
serving in such capacity at the time any liability or expense is incurred for
which indemnification, reimbursement, or advancement of expenses can be
provided under this Agreement; provided, however, that the term “Proceeding”
shall not include any action, suit or arbitration initiated by Indemnitee to
enforce Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.

 

Section 3.  Indemnity in Third-Party Proceedings.  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 if Indemnitee is, or is
threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in any Proceeding, other
than a Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in
its favor.  Pursuant to this Section 3,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses, judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee or on
his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any claim, issue or matter
therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, in
the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.  Indemnitee shall
not enter into any settlement in connection with a Proceeding without ten (10) days
prior notice to the Company.

 

Section 4.  Indemnity in Proceedings by or in the
Right of the Company.  The Company
shall indemnify Indemnitee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4
if Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be made, a party to or a participant in
any Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its
favor.  Pursuant to this Section 4,
Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably
incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with such Proceeding or any
claim, issue or matter therein, if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company.  No indemnification for
Expenses shall be made under this Section 4 in respect of any claim, issue
or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been finally adjudged by a court to
be

 

3

 

liable to the Company, unless and only to the
extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Delaware Court”) or any
court in which the 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
indemnification for such expenses as the Delaware Court or such other court
shall deem proper.

 

Section 5.  Indemnification for Expenses of a Party
Who is Wholly or Partly Successful.  Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is a
party to or a participant in and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in
any Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, in whole or
in part, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.  If Indemnitee is not wholly successful in
such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or
more but less than all claims, issues or matters in such Proceeding, the
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against (a) all Expenses actually and
reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection with each
successfully resolved claim, issue or matter and (b) any claim, issue or
matter related to any such successfully resolved claim, issue or matter.  For purposes of this Section and without
limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter in such a Proceeding
by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful
result as to such claim, issue or matter.

 

Section 6.  Indemnification For Expenses of a Witness.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee is, by reason of his Corporate Status,
a witness in any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is not a party, he shall be
indemnified against all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or on
his behalf in connection therewith.

 

Section 7.  Additional Indemnification.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding any
limitation in Sections 3, 4, or 5, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to
the fullest extent permitted by law if Indemnitee is a party to or is
threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding (including a Proceeding by or
in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor) against all
Expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and
reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the Proceeding.

 

(b)           For purposes of Section 7(a),
the meaning of the phrase “to the fullest extent permitted by law” shall include,
but not be limited to:

 

(i)            to the fullest
extent permitted by the provision of the DGCL that authorizes or contemplates
additional indemnification by agreement, or the corresponding provision of any
amendment to or replacement of the DGCL or such provision thereof; and

 

(ii)           to the fullest
extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of the DGCL
adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which a
corporation may indemnify its officers and directors.

 

4

 

Section 8.  Exclusions.  Notwithstanding any provision in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated under this
Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against
Indemnitee:

 

(a)           for which payment
has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy
or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the
amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision;

 

(b)           for an accounting of
profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by Indemnitee of
securities of the Company within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state
statutory law or common law;

 

(c)           to indemnify or
advance Expenses to Indemnitee with respect to claims initiated or brought
voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except (i) with
respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to
receive Expenses or indemnification under this Agreement or any other agreement
or insurance policy or under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or
bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to indemnification, (ii) in
specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or
bringing of such claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Delaware law;
or

 

(d)           for which payment is
prohibited by applicable law.

 

Section 9.  Advances of Expenses.  The Company shall advance, to the extent not
prohibited by law, the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any
Proceeding, and such advancement shall be made within thirty (30) days after
the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such
advances (which shall include invoices received by Indemnitee in connection
with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal
services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditures made that
would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall
not be included with the invoice) from time to time, whether prior to or after
final disposition of any Proceeding.  Advances
shall be unsecured and interest free.  Advances
shall be made without regard to Indemnitee’s ability to repay the expenses and
without regard to Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification under
the other provisions of this Agreement.  Advances
shall include any and all reasonable Expenses incurred pursuing an action to
enforce this right of advancement, including Expenses incurred preparing and
forwarding statements to the Company to support the advances claimed.  The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances
upon the execution and delivery to the Company of this Agreement which shall
constitute an undertaking providing that the Indemnitee undertakes to the
fullest extent permitted by law to repay the advance if and to the extent that
it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company.  This Section 9
shall not apply to any claim made by Indemnitee for which indemnity is excluded
pursuant to Section 8.  The right to
advances under this paragraph shall in all events continue until final
disposition of any Proceeding, including any appeal therein.

 

5

 

Section 10.  Procedure for Notification and Defense of
Claim.

 

(a)           To obtain
indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a
written request therefor.

 

(b)           The Company will be
entitled to participate in the Proceeding at its own expense.

 

Section 11.  Procedure Upon Application for
Indemnification.

 

(a)           Upon written request
by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a), a
determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to Indemnitee’s
entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by Independent Counsel
in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to
Indemnitee and, if it is so determined that Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within ten (10) days
after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the Independent
Counsel making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to
indemnification, including providing to such counsel upon reasonable advance
request any documentation or information which is not privileged or otherwise
protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to such determination. 
Any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements)
incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the Independent Counsel shall be
borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s
entitlement to indemnification) and the Company hereby indemnifies and agrees
to hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.

 

(b)           The Independent
Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee.  The Company may, within ten (10) days
after written notice of such selection, deliver to the Indemnitee a written
objection to such selection; provided, however, that such
objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so
selected does not meet the requirements of “Independent Counsel” as defined in Section 2
of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the
factual basis of such assertion.  Absent
a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent
Counsel.  If such written objection is so
made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as
Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has
determined that such objection is without merit.  If, within twenty (20) days after the later
of submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant
to Section 10(a) hereof, and the final disposition of the Proceeding,
including any appeal therein, no Independent Counsel shall have been selected
and not objected to, the Indemnitee may petition a court of competent
jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the
Company to the selection of Independent Counsel and/or for the appointment as
Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person
as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all
objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent
Counsel under Section 11(a) hereof. 
Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration
pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement, Independent Counsel
shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity
(subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing).

Section 12.  Presumptions and Effect of Certain
Proceedings.

 

(a)           In making a
determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the
Independent Counsel making such determination shall presume that Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a
request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this
Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption
in connection with the making by the Independent Counsel of any determination
contrary to that presumption. Neither the failure of the Company or of
Independent Counsel to have made a determination prior to the commencement of
any action pursuant to this Agreement that indemnification is proper in the
circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct,
nor an actual determination by the Company or by Independent Counsel that
Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense
to the action or create a presumption that Indenmitee has not met the
applicable standard of conduct.

 

(b)           The termination of
any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order,
settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of guilty, nolo  contendere
or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement) of itself adversely affect the right of Indemnitee to
indemnification or create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good
faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding,
that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

(c)           For purposes of any
determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good
faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the
Enterprise, including financial statements, or on information supplied to
Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, or
on the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or the Board or counsel
selected by any committee of the Board or on information or records given or
reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant or
by an appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with reasonable
care by the Company or the Board or any committee of the Board.  The provisions of this Section 12(c) shall
not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in
which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of
conduct set forth in this Agreement.

 

(d)           The knowledge and/or
actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the
Enterprise shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the
right to indemnification under this Agreement.

 

Section 13.  Remedies of Indemnitee.

 

(a)           Subject to Section 13(e),
in the event that (i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 11
of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this
Agreement, (ii) advancement of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Section 9
of this Agreement, (iii) no determination of entitlement to
indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of
this Agreement within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the
request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made
pursuant to Section 5 or 6 or the last sentence of Section 11(a) of
this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of a
written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification pursuant to Section 3,
4 or 7 of this 

 

7

 

Agreement is not
made within ten (10) days after a determination has been made that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an
adjudication by a court of his entitlement to such indemnification or
advancement of Expenses.  Alternatively,
Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by
a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
American Arbitration Association.  Indemnitee
shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in
arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has
the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 13(a); provided,
however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a
proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his rights under Section 5 of
this Agreement.  The Company shall not
oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in
arbitration.

 

(b)           In the event that a
determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this
Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial
proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 13 shall be
conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits and
Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination.  In any judicial proceeding or arbitration
commenced pursuant to this Section 13 the Company shall have the burden of
proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of
Expenses, as the case may be.

 

(c)           If a determination
shall have been made pursuant to Section 11(a) of this Agreement that
Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such
determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to
this Section 13, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a
material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for
indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under
applicable law.

 

(d)           The Company shall be
precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced
pursuant to this Section 13 that the procedures and presumptions of this
Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any
such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the
provisions of this Agreement.  The
Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses and, if
requested by Indemnitee, shall (within ten (10) days after receipt by the
Company of a written request therefor) advance, to the extent not prohibited by
law, such Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in
connection with any action brought by Indemnitee for indemnification or advance
of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company, regardless of
whether Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification,
advancement of Expenses or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement
to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the
final disposition of the Proceeding, including any appeal therein.

Section 14.  Non-exclusivity, Survival of Rights;
Insurance Subrogation.

 

(a)           The rights of
indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this
Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee
may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Charter, the Company’s
Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or
otherwise.  No amendment, alteration or
repeal of this Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any
right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or
omitted by such Indemnitee in his Corporate Status prior to such amendment,
alteration or repeal.  To the extent that
a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits
greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded
currently under the Charter, Bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the
parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater
benefits so afforded by such change.  No
right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right
or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition
to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or otherwise.  The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not
prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy.

 

(b)           To the extent that
the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability
insurance for directors, officers, employees, or agents of the Company or of any
other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies in
accordance with its or their terms to the maximum extent of the coverage
available for any such director, officer, employee or agent under such policy
or policies.  If, at the time of the
receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has
director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give
prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies.  The Company shall thereafter take all
necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the
Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance
with the terms of such policies.

 

(c)           In the event of any
payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of
such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute
all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights,
including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to
bring suit to enforce such rights.

 

(d)           The Company shall
not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise
indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and
to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment
under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.

 

(e)           The Company’s
obligation to indemnify or advance Expenses hereunder to Indemnitee who is or
was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or
agent of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount Indemnitee has
actually received as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise.

 

Section 15.  Duration of Agreement.  This Agreement shall continue until and
terminate upon the later of (a) ten (10) years after the date that
Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director

 

9

 

of the Company or (b) one (1) year after
the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal, then pending in
respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement
of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to
Section 13 of this Agreement relating thereto.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the
Company and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
Indemnitee and his heirs, executors and administrators.  The Company shall require and cause any
successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or
otherwise) to all, substantially all or a substantial part, of the business
and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform if no such succession had taken place.

 

Section 16.  Severability.  If any provision or provisions of this
Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason
whatsoever: (a) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any
Section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or
unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall
remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (b) such
provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to
conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the
parties hereto; and (c) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of
this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any Section of
this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be
construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby.

 

Section 17.  Enforcement.

 

(a)           The Company
expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and
assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to
serve as a director of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that
Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director of the
Company.

 

(b)           This Agreement
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings,
oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the
subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is
a supplement to and in furtherance of the Charter of the Company, the Bylaws of
the Company and applicable law, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor,
nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder.

 

Section 18.  Modification and Waiver.  No supplement, modification or amendment of
this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties
thereto.  No waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of
any other provisions of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a
continuing waiver.

 

Section 19.  Noticed Indemnitee.  Indemnitee agrees promptly to notify the
Company in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena,
complaint, indictment,

 

10

 

information or other document relating to any
Proceeding or matter which may be subject to indemnification or advancement of
Expenses covered hereunder.  The failure
of Indemnitee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of any
obligation which it may have to the Indemnitee under this Agreement or
otherwise.

 

Section 20.  Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other
communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to
have been duly given if (a) delivered by hand and receipted for by the
party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, (b) mailed
by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day
after the date on which it is so mailed, (c) mailed by reputable overnight
courier and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other
communication shall have been directed or (d) sent by facsimile
transmission, with receipt of oral confirmation that such transmission has been
received:

 

(a)           If to Indemnitee, at
such address as Indemnitee shall provide to the Company;

 

(b)           If to the Company, to
its principal place of business or to any other address as may have been
furnished to Indemnitee by the Company.

 

Section 21.  Contribution.  To the fullest extent permissible under
applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable
to Indemnitee for any reason whatsoever, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying
Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount incurred by Indemnitee, whether for
judgments, fines, penalties, excise taxes, amounts paid or to be paid in
settlement and/or for Expenses, in connection with any claim relating to an
indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair
and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order
to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and
Indemnitee as a result of the event(s) and/or transaction(s) giving cause to
such Proceeding; and/or (ii) the relative fault of the Company (and its
directors, officers, employees and agents) and Indemnitee in connection with
such event(s) and/or transaction(s).

 

Section 22.  Applicable Law and Consent to Jurisdiction.  This Agreement and the legal relations among
the parties shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance
with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws
rules.  Except with respect to any
arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 13(a) of this
Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree
that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement shall be brought only in the Delaware Court, and not in any other
state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any
other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the
Delaware Court for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is
not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, The
Corporation Trust Company, Wilmington, Delaware as its agent in the State of
Delaware as such party’s agent for acceptance of legal process in connection
with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force
and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of
Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such
action or proceeding in the Delaware Court, and (v) waive, and agree not
to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in
the Delaware Court has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

 

11

 

Section 23.  Miscellaneous.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.  Only one such counterpart signed by the party
against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the
existence of this Agreement. The headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement
are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute part of
this Agreement or to affect the construction thereof.

 

12

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Indemnification Agreement
to be signed as of the day and year first above written.
