The amount due to the Participant upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be paid in such form of consideration as determined by the Administrator and may be in cash, Shares or a combination thereof, over the period or periods specified in the Stock Award Agreement. A Stock Award Agreement may place limits on the amount that may be paid over any specified period or periods upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, on an aggregate basis or as to any Participant.

(b) Performance Criteria. The Administrator shall establish the Qualifying Performance Criteria and level of achievement versus these criteria which shall determine the target and the minimum and maximum amount payable under a Cash Award. The Administrator may specify the percentage of the target Cash Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the performance criteria for any portion of a Cash Award that is intended to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code shall |
12
be a measure established by the Administrator based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by the Administrator and specified in writing not later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance goals relates, provided that the outcome is substantially uncertain at that time (or in such other manner that complies with Section 162(m)). | |
(c) Timing and Form of Payment. The Administrator shall determine the timing of payment of any Cash Award. The Administrator may provide for or, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may specify and Applicable Laws, may permit a Participant to elect for the payment of any Cash Award to be deferred to a specified date or event. The Administrator may specify the form of payment of Cash Awards, which may be cash or other property, or may provide for a Participant to have the option for his or her Cash Award, or such portion thereof as the Administrator may specify, to be paid in whole or in part in cash or other property. | |

For the purposes of this paragraph, the Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Corporate Transaction, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share or amount of cash covered by the Award immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Corporate Transaction by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the Corporate 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 Corporate Transaction 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 the Award, for each Share covered by the 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 Shares in the Corporate Transaction. | |
(ii) Each Option or Stock Award which is assumed pursuant to this Section 17(c) shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Participant in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the Option or Stock Award been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such Corporate Transaction shall also be made to (A) the exercise or purchase price payable per share under each outstanding Option or Stock Award, provided the aggregate exercise or purchase price payable for such securities shall remain the same, (B) the maximum number and/or class of securities available for issuance over the remaining term of the Plan, (C) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted Options or Stock Awards under the Plan per year, (D) the maximum number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve is to increase automatically each year and (E) the number and/or class of securities subject to the Options granted under Section 11. |

(ii) Post-Service Exercisability.

(iii) Special Acceleration of Option.
a. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, this Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for this Option, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise this Option as to all of the Optioned Shares, including Optioned Shares for which this Option is not otherwise exercisable. If an Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Corporate Transaction, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee in writing or electronically that this Option shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and this Option shall terminate upon the expiration of such period.
(A) This Option, to the extent it is assumed pursuant to this Paragraph 3(a), shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after the Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had this Option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such transaction shall also be made to the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option, provided the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such securities shall remain the same.
(B) This Option Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
(iv) Method of Exercise. This Option is exercisable through E*Trade Optionslink. The Optionee will receive a welcome kit from E*Trade explaining this service. No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless such issuance and exercise complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the purchased Shares shall be considered transferred to the Optionee on the date this Option is exercised with respect to such purchased Shares.
(v) Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall made through E*Trade and may be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the Optionee:
b. cash;
(A) check;
(B) consideration received through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the Option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (i) to E*Trade to effect the immediate sale of the purchased Optioned Shares and remit to the Company, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased Optioned Shares plus all applicable Federal,
18
state and local income and employment or other taxes required to be withheld by the Company by reason of such exercise and (ii) to the Company to deliver the certificates for the purchased Optioned Shares directly to E*Trade in order to complete the sale; or
(C) other Shares which, in the case of Shares acquired directly or indirectly from the Company, (i) have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Optioned Shares for which this Option is exercised.
(c) Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by the Optionee. However, Optionee may designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of this Option, and this Option shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionees death with holding this Option. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred option subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which this Option may be exercised following Optionees death. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, beneficiaries, successors and assigns of the Optionee.
(d) Term of Option. This Option shall have a maximum term of ten (10) years measured from the Grant Date and shall expire at the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated. This Option may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Option Agreement.
(e) Adjustment in Optioned Shares. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Companys receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (1) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this Option and (2) the Exercise Price in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder; provided that the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same.
(f) Successors and Assigns. Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Option Agreement, the provisions of this Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and its successors and assigns and Optionee, the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionees estate and any beneficiaries of this Option designated by Optionee.
(g) Notices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Company under the terms of this Option Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Company at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at the address indicated below Optionees signature line. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified.

(h) Entire Agreement; Construction; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Optionees interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. Subject to Section 4(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Option Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. This agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California.

(i) The Optionee is hereby granted an Option to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant at the per share Exercise Price set forth in the Notice of Grant, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.
(ii) If this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option in the Notice of Grant section of this Agreement, then no installment of Optioned Shares for which this Option becomes exercisable shall qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Stock Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Optioned Shares for which such installment first becomes exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Optioned Shares or other securities for which this Option or any other Incentive Stock Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this Option shall nevertheless become exercisable for the excess Optioned Shares in such calendar year as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
(b) Exercise of Option.

In no event may this Option be exercised for any fractional shares.
(ii) Post-Service Exercisability.

(B) Should Optionee die while holding this Option, then the personal representative of Optionees estate or the person or persons to whom this Option is transferred pursuant to Optionees will or the laws of inheritance shall have the right to exercise this Option. However, if Optionee has designated one or more beneficiaries of this Option in a form acceptable to the Administrator, then those persons shall have the exclusive right to exercise this Option following Optionees death. Any such right to exercise this Option shall lapse, and this Option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionees death.
(C) Should Optionee cease to be a Service Provider by reason of Disability while holding this Option, then Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of service) during which to exercise this Option.
