	 	(v)	 	An additional [•] of the Shares on and after [•].

     (b) Change in Control. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2,
all unvested Options shall vest upon the occurrence of a Change in Control prior to a
vesting date specified above, provided that on such date, the Optionee remains, and has
continuously been, an Employee.

     (c) Termination of Employment. Automatically and immediately upon the cessation
of Employment, all outstanding and unvested Options shall cease to be exercisable and will
terminate, except that upon a termination due to the death of the Optionee any and all
unvested Options will vest and become fully exercisable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject to any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other
written agreement between the Company and the Optionee with respect to vesting and termination of
Shares granted under the Plan), no Options shall vest or shall become eligible to

1

 

vest on any date specified above unless the Optionee is then, and since the Grant Date has
continuously been, employed by the Company or its Affiliates.

     3. Exercise of Options. Each election to exercise the Options shall be subject to the
terms and conditions of the Plan and shall be in writing, signed by the Optionee or by his or her
executor or administrator or by the person or persons to whom the Options are transferred by will
or the applicable laws of descent and distribution (the “Legal Representative”), and made
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan. The latest date
on which the Options may be exercised (the “Final Exercise Date”) is the date which is the
tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms
and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the
provisions of Sections 2(b) and 2(c) above, the following rules will apply if an Optionee’s
Employment ceases in all circumstances: automatically and immediately upon the cessation of
Employment, the Options will cease to be exercisable and will terminate, except that:

     (a) any portion of the Options held by the Optionee or the Optionee’s permitted
transferees, if any, immediately prior to the termination of the Optionee’s Employment by
reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or for Cause, to the extent then vested and
exercisable, will remain exercisable for the shorter of (i) a period of 90 days or (ii) the
period ending on the Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate;

     (b) any portion of the Options held by the Optionee or the Optionee’s permitted
transferees, if any, immediately prior to the termination of the Optionee’s Employment by
reason of death or Disability, to the extent then vested and exercisable, will remain
exercisable for the shorter of (i) the one year period ending with the first anniversary of
the Optionee’s death or Disability, as the case may be, or (ii) the period ending on the
Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate;

     (c) any portion of the Options held by the Optionee or the Optionee’s permitted
transferees, if any, immediately prior to the Optionee’s Retirement, to the extent then
exercisable will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of two years or (ii) the
period ending on the Final Exercise Date, and will thereupon terminate; provided that the
Options will terminate immediately in the event the Board determines that the Optionee is
not in compliance with any non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, or
confidentiality agreement with the Company or its Affiliates; and

     (d) any portion of the Options held by the Optionee or the Optionee’s permitted
transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the Optionee’s Employment will
immediately terminate upon such cessation if such cessation of Employment has resulted in
connection with an act or failure to act constituting Cause.

     4. Covered Transaction. In the event of a Covered Transaction, the Administrator may
require that any amounts delivered, exchanged, or otherwise paid in respect of outstanding and then
unvested Options be placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the
Administrator deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan.

2

 

     5. Withholding. No Shares will be transferred pursuant to the exercise of the Options
unless and until the person exercising the Options shall have remitted to the Company in cash or by
check an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, or local withholding tax requirements or
tax payments, or shall have made other arrangements satisfactory to the Company with respect to
such taxes. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, hold back Shares from an award or
permit an Optionee to tender previously owned shares of Stock in satisfaction of tax withholding or
tax payment requirements (but not in excess of the applicable minimum statutory withholding rate).

     6. Nontransferability of Options. The Options are not transferable by the Optionee
other than by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution and are exercisable during
the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee.

     7. Status Change. Upon the termination of the Optionee’s Employment, the Options
shall continue or terminate, as and to the extent provided in the Plan.

     8. Effect on Employment. Neither the grant of the Options, nor the issuance of Shares
upon exercise of the Options, shall give the Optionee any right to be retained in the employ of the
Company or its Affiliates, affect the right of the Company or its Affiliates to discharge or
discipline such Optionee at any time, or affect any right of such Optionee to terminate his or her
Employment at any time.

     9. Repurchase by Company. If the Optionee’s employment is terminated by reason of
Cause or in the event the Board determines that the Optionee is not in compliance with any
non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, or confidentiality agreement with the Company or
its Affiliates, the Company may repurchase from the Optionee the Shares received by the Optionee
upon exercise of the Options and then held by the Optionee for a purchase price equal to the lower
of fair market value or the aggregate exercise price of the Options. If the Optionee no longer
holds the Shares, the Board may require that the Optionee remit or deliver to the Company (1) the
amount of any gain realized upon the sale of any Shares received pursuant to the Options, and (2)
any consideration received upon the exchange of any Shares received pursuant to the Options (or the
extent that such consideration was not received in the form of cash, the cash equivalent thereof
valued at the time of the exchange) and (3) to the extent that the Shares were transferred by gift
or without consideration, the value of the Shares determined at the time of gift or transfer.

     10. Provisions of the Plan. This Agreement is subject in its entirety to the
provisions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Plan as in
effect on the date of the grant of the Options has been furnished to the Optionee. By exercising
all or any part of the Options, the Optionee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this
Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

     Definitions. The initially capitalized terms Optionee and Grant Date shall have the
meanings set forth on the first page of this Agreement; initially capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the Plan, and, as used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set

3

transaction or series of related transactions, whether or not the Company is party thereto,

outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the
Company immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or
indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the

substantially all of the Optionee’s duties and responsibilities, notwithstanding the
provision of any reasonable accommodation.

     11. General. For purposes of this Agreement and any determinations to be made by the
Administrator, the determinations by the Administrator shall be binding upon the Optionee and any
transferee.
