WHEREAS, the Optionee takes no position with respect to the effective date of grant and instead defers to the Company’s determination; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereby reform each Agreement to reflect the applicable Corrected Exercise Price, which equals the fair market value of the common stock of the Company on the corrected date of grant set forth above.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

A.            The terms of each Option and Agreement are hereby reformed, effective on the original date of grant of the Option, to reflect that the exercise price per share is the Corrected Exercise Price as set forth above.

B.            Upon execution of this Reformation of Stock Option Agreements on or before December 31, 2006, with respect to the portion of the Option that was exercised in 2006, the Optionee shall pay to the Company the aggregate amount by which the Corrected Exercise Price exceeds the amount the Optionee paid for the shares, or $254,641.

C.            Upon execution of this Reformation of Stock Option Agreements on or before December 31, 2006, with respect to the Options (or portions thereof) that were exercised prior to 2006, the Optionee shall pay to the Company the aggregate amount by which the Corrected Exercise Price exceeds the amount the Optionee paid for the shares, or $361,032.

D.            The terms of the Agreement not specifically reformed hereby remain in full force and effect.

E.             All defined terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Agreements.

F.             This Reformation of Stock Option Agreements shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

G.            The Optionee has had an opportunity to consult with the Optionee’s personal tax, legal and investment advisors with regard to this Reformation of Stock Option Agreements, and is not relying on the Company or its agents for such advice.  The Optionee agrees that the Company shall not be liable for any costs, taxes, loss or damage that the Optionee may incur by entering into the Agreement or this Reformation of Stock Option Agreements; it being understood that the Optionee will not pursue a claim, whether by way of indemnification or otherwise (i) with respect to such costs, taxes, loss or damage, (ii) with respect to amounts paid to the Company pursuant to paragraphs B and C of this Reformation of Stock Option Agreements or (iii) with respect to costs incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of this Reformation of Stock Option Agreements; provided, however, that nothing herein shall otherwise affect any rights of the Optionee to indemnification pursuant to the Company’s bye-laws or any other agreements or instruments of or with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The parties hereto have duly executed this Reformation of Stock Option Agreements on the dates set forth below.
