(a)           The Board hereby authorizes a series of Offerings pursuant to the terms of this Offering document.

(b)           Each Offering hereunder shall consist of one 6-month offering period, with the first such period beginning on July 1, 2007 and ending on December 31, 2007, unless terminated earlier as provided below.  Thereafter, a new Offering shall begin on each January 1 and July 1, and shall end on each June 30 (with respect to Offerings beginning January 1) or December 31 (with respect to Offerings beginning July 1), as applicable, unless the Board determines otherwise.  New Offerings shall begin automatically as described in the preceding sentence without any further action on the part of the Board.  Except as provided below, a Purchase Date is the last day of an Offering and an Offering Date is the first day of an Offering.

(c)           Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) if any Offering Date falls on a day that is not a Trading Day, then such Offering Date shall instead fall on the next subsequent Trading Day and (ii) if any Purchase Date falls on a day that is not a Trading Day, then such Purchase Date shall instead fall on the immediately preceding Trading Day.

(d)           Prior to the commencement of any Offering, the Board may change any or all terms of such Offering and any subsequent Offerings.  The granting of Purchase Rights pursuant to each Offering hereunder shall occur on each respective Offering Date unless prior to such date (i) the Board determines that such Offering shall not occur, or (ii) no shares of Common Stock remain available for issuance under the Plan in connection with the Offering.

2.             Eligible Employees.

(a)           All Employees of the Company shall be granted Purchase Rights to purchase shares of Common Stock under each Offering on the Offering Date of such Offering, provided that each such Employee otherwise meets the employment requirements of Section 6(a) of the Plan.

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following Employees shall not be Eligible Employees or be granted Purchase Rights under an Offering: (i) five percent (5%) stockholders (including ownership through unexercised and/or unvested stock options) as described in Section 6(c) of the Plan and (ii) Employees in jurisdictions outside of the United States if, as of the

Offering Date of the Offering, the grant of such Purchase Rights would not be in compliance with the applicable laws of any jurisdiction in which the Employee resides or is employed.

(c)           A person who first becomes an Eligible Employee during any Offering may not participate in such Offering, and instead must wait until the next Offering to participate.

The amount in clause (y) of the previous sentence shall be determined in accordance with regulations applicable under Section 423(b)(8) of the Code based on (i) the number of shares previously purchased with respect to such calendar years pursuant to such Offering or any other Offering under the Plan, or pursuant to any other Company plans intended to qualify as Employee Stock Purchase Plans under Section 423 of the Code, and (ii) the number of shares subject to other Purchase Rights outstanding on the Offering Date for such Offering pursuant to the Plan or any other such Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Offering would exceed the maximum aggregate number of shares available, the Board shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares available in a uniform and equitable manner.

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that an Eligible Employee may purchase during any Offering shall not exceed five thousand (5,000) shares.

4.             Purchase Price.
