COMPANY'S REPURCHASE OPTION FOR UNVESTED SHARES. The Company, or its assignee, shall have the option to repurchase all or a portion of the Participant's Unvested Shares (as defined in Section 3.2 below) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (the "REPURCHASE OPTION") if Participant is terminated for any reason, or no reason, including without limitation Participant's death, Disability (as defined in the Plan), voluntary resignation or termination by the Company with or without cause. 3.1 Termination and Termination Date. In case of any dispute as to whether Participant has been terminated, the Compensation Committee shall have sole discretion to determine whether Participant has been terminated and the effective date of such termination (the "TERMINATION DATE"). 3.2 Unvested and Vested Shares. Shares that are vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in this Section 3.2 are "VESTED SHARES." Shares that are not vested pursuant to the schedule set forth in this Section 3.2 are "UNVESTED SHARES." Unvested Shares may not be sold or otherwise transferred by Participant without the Company's prior written consent. On the Effective Date all of the Shares will be Unvested Shares. If Participant has continuously been employed at all times from the Effective Date until the first anniversary of the Effective Date (the "FIRST VESTING DATE"), then on the First Vesting Date [_______] of the Shares will become Vested Shares; and thereafter, if Participant has continuously been employed at all times from the First Vesting Date until the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the "SECOND VESTING DATE"), then on the Second Vesting Date [_______] of the Shares will become Vested Shares. If the application of the vesting percentage causes a fractional share, such share shall be rounded 2 down to the nearest whole share except for the last installment in such vesting period, at the end of which the balance of Unvested Shares shall become Vested Shares. No Shares will become Vested Shares after the Termination Date. The number of Shares that are Vested Shares or Unvested Shares will be proportionally adjusted for any stock split or similar change in the capital structure of the Company as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Plan. Any new, additional or different securities the Participant may become entitled to receive with respect to Unvested Shares by virtue of a stock dividend, stock split or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company will be subject to the same restrictions as such Unvested Shares; and Participant will have no right to retain such stock dividends or stock distributions with respect to Unvested Shares that are repurchased at the Repurchase Price (defined below). 3.3 Exercise of Repurchase Option. At any time within ninety (90) days after the Termination Date, the Company, or its assignee(s), may elect to repurchase any or all of the Participant's Unvested Shares by giving Participant written notice of exercise of the Repurchase Option. 3.4 Calculation of Repurchase Price. The Company or its assignee(s) shall have the option to repurchase from Participant (or from Participant's personal representative as the case may be) the Participant's Unvested Shares at the Participant's original Purchase Price Per Share (as adjusted to reflect any stock split or similar change in the capital structure of the Company as set forth in Section 2.2 of the Plan) (the "REPURCHASE PRICE"). 3.5 Payment of Repurchase Price. The Repurchase Price shall be payable, at the option of the Company or its assignee(s), by check or by cancellation of all or a portion of any outstanding purchase money indebtedness owed by Participant to the Company, or such assignee, or by any combination thereof. The Repurchase Price shall be paid without interest within sixty (60) days after exercise of the Repurchase Option. 3.6 Right of Termination Unaffected. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit or otherwise affect in any manner whatsoever the right or power of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) to terminate Participant at any time for any reason or no reason, with or without cause. 4. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS. Purchaser shall not transfer, assign, grant a lien or security interest in, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares that are subject to the Repurchase Option. 5. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Participant will have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Shares from and after the date that Participant delivers payment of the Purchase Price until such time as Participant disposes of the Shares or the Company and/or its assignee(s) exercise(s) the Repurchase Option. Upon an exercise of the Repurchase Option, Participant will have no further rights as a holder of the Shares so purchased upon such exercise, other than the right to receive payment for the Shares so purchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and Participant will promptly surrender the stock certificate(s) evidencing the Shares so purchased to the Company for transfer or cancellation. 3 6. ESCROW.

Escrow Holder will act solely for the Company as its agent and not as a fiduciary. Participant and the Company agree that Escrow Holder will not be liable to any party to this Agreement (or to any other party) for any actions or omissions unless Escrow Holder is grossly negligent or intentionally fraudulent in carrying out the duties of Escrow Holder under this Agreement.
