3. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Until such time as the Corporation exercises the Repurchase Right, Participant (or any successor in interest) shall have all the rights of a stockholder (including voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to the Purchased Shares, subject, however, to the transfer restrictions of this Agreement.

4. ESCROW. The Corporation shall have the right to hold the Purchased Shares in escrow until those shares have vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule.

5. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Under no circumstances shall shares of Common Stock or other assets be issued or delivered to Participant pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement unless, in the opinion of counsel for the Corporation or its successors, there shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of applicable securities laws, all applicable listing requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system on which the Common Stock is at the time listed for trading and all other requirements of law or of any regulatory bodies having jurisdiction over such issuance and delivery.

B. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

1. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Except for any Permitted Transfer, Participant shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchased Shares which are subject to the Repurchase Right.

2. RESTRICTIVE LEGEND. The stock certificate for the Purchased Shares shall be endorsed with the following restrictive legend:

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE UNVESTED AND SUBJECT TO CERTAIN REPURCHASE RIGHTS GRANTED TO THE CORPORATION AND ACCORDINGLY MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, ENCUMBERED, OR IN ANY MANNER DISPOSED OF EXCEPT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE TERMS OF A WRITTEN AGREEMENT DATED , BETWEEN THE CORPORATION AND THE REGISTERED HOLDER OF THE SHARES (OR THE PREDECESSOR IN INTEREST TO THE SHARES). A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT IS MAINTAINED AT THE CORPORATION’S PRINCIPAL CORPORATE OFFICES.”

3. TRANSFEREE OBLIGATIONS. Each person (other than the Corporation) to whom the Purchased Shares are transferred by means of a Permitted Transfer must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Corporation that such person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement and that the transferred shares are subject to the Repurchase Right to the same extent such shares would be so subject if retained by Participant.

C. REPURCHASE RIGHT

1. GRANT. The Corporation is hereby granted the right (the “Repurchase Right”), exercisable at any time during the ninety (90)-day period following the date Participant ceases for any reason to remain in Service, to repurchase at the Repurchase Price any or all of the Purchased Shares in which Participant is not, at the time of his or her cessation of Service, vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule set forth in Paragraph C.3 of this Agreement or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph C.5 of this Agreement (such shares to be hereinafter referred to as the “Unvested Shares”).

2. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered to each Owner of the Unvested Shares prior to the expiration of the ninety (90)-day exercise period. The notice shall indicate the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased, the Repurchase Price per share and the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. The certificates representing the Unvested Shares to be repurchased shall be delivered to the Corporation on the closing date specified for the repurchase. Concurrently with the receipt of such stock certificates, the Corporation shall pay to Owner, in cash or cash equivalent (including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness), an amount equal to the Repurchase Price for the Unvested Shares to be repurchased from Owner.

3. TERMINATION OF THE REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Unvested Shares for which it is not timely exercised under Paragraph C.2. In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate and cease to be exercisable with respect to any and all Purchased Shares in which Participant vests in accordance with the following Vesting Schedule:

(i) Upon Participant’s completion of one (1) year of Service measured from , , Participant shall acquire a vested interest in,

and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to, twenty-five percent (25%) of the Purchased Shares.

(ii) Participant shall acquire a vested interest in, and the Repurchase Right shall lapse with respect to, the remaining Purchased Shares in a series of thirty-six (36) successive equal monthly installments upon Participant’s completion of each additional month of Service over the thirty-six (36)-month period measured from the initial vesting date under subparagraph (i) above.

4. RECAPITALIZATION. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including cash paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right and any escrow requirements hereunder, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right or escrow requirements. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such distribution shall be made to the number and/or class of securities subject to this Agreement and to the Repurchase Price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect the effect of any such Recapitalization upon the Corporation’s capital structure; provided, however, that the aggregate Repurchase Price shall remain the same.

5. CHANGE IN CONTROL.

(a) Immediately prior to the consummation of any Change in Control, the Repurchase Right shall automatically lapse in its entirety and the Purchased Shares shall vest in full, except to the extent the Repurchase Right is to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or is otherwise to be continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.

(b) To the extent the Repurchase Right remains in effect following a Change in Control, such right shall apply to the new capital stock or other property (including any cash payments) received in exchange for the Purchased Shares in consummation of the Change in Control, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right. Appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Repurchase Price per share payable upon exercise of the Repurchase Right to reflect the effect (if any) of the Change in Control upon the Corporation’s capital structure; provided, however, that the aggregate Repurchase Price shall remain the same. The new securities or other property (including cash payments) issued or distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares in consummation of the Change in Control shall immediately be deposited in escrow with the Corporation (or the successor entity) and shall not be released from escrow until Participant vests in such securities or other property in accordance with the same Vesting Schedule in effect for the Purchased Shares.

D. SPECIAL TAX ELECTION

1. SECTION 83(B) ELECTION. Under Code Section 83, the excess of the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the Purchase Price paid for such shares will be reportable as ordinary income on the lapse date. For this purpose, the term “forfeiture restrictions” includes the right of

the Corporation to repurchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Right. Participant may elect under Code Section 83(b) to be taxed at the time the Purchased Shares are acquired, rather than when and as such Purchased Shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions. Such election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement. Even if the fair market value of the Purchased Shares on the date of this Agreement equals the Purchase Price paid (and thus no tax is payable), the election must be made to avoid adverse tax consequences in the future. THE FORM FOR MAKING THIS ELECTION IS ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT II HERETO. PARTICIPANT UNDERSTANDS THAT FAILURE TO MAKE THIS FILING WITHIN THE APPLICABLE THIRTY (30)-DAY PERIOD WILL RESULT IN THE RECOGNITION OF ORDINARY INCOME AS THE FORFEITURE RESTRICTIONS LAPSE.

2. FILING RESPONSIBILITY. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PARTICIPANT’S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE CORPORATION’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF PARTICIPANT REQUESTS THE CORPORATION OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS OR HER BEHALF.

E. GENERAL PROVISIONS

1. ASSIGNMENT. The Corporation may assign the Repurchase Right to any person or entity selected by the Board, including (without limitation) one or more stockholders of the Corporation.

2. AT WILL EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) or of Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Participant’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

3. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party entitled to such notice at the address indicated below such party’s signature line on this Agreement or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice under this paragraph to all other parties to this Agreement.

4. NO WAIVER. The failure of the Corporation in any instance to exercise the Repurchase Right shall not constitute a waiver of any other repurchase rights that may subsequently arise under the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Corporation and Participant. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or different nature.

5. CANCELLATION OF SHARES. If the Corporation shall make available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration

4 for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the person from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such shares shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the Corporation shall be deemed the owner and holder of such shares, whether or not the certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement.

6. PARTICIPANT UNDERTAKING. Participant hereby agrees to take whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Corporation may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either Participant or the Purchased Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

7. AGREEMENT IS ENTIRE CONTRACT. This Agreement constitutes the entire contract between the parties hereto with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is made pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and shall in all respects be construed in conformity with the terms of the Plan.

8. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas without resort to that State’s conflict-of-laws rules.

9. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and upon Participant, Participant’s assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Participant’s estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Agreement and have agreed in writing to join herein and be bound by the terms hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the day and year first indicated above.
