     Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Plan, the definition of Change in Control (or any analogous term) in an individual written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Participant shall supersede the foregoing definition with respect to Stock Awards subject to such agreement where such agreement provides for acceleration of vesting of such Stock Awards in the event of a Change in Control; provided, however, that if no definition of Change in Control or any analogous term is set forth in such an individual written agreement, the foregoing definition shall apply.

To the extent permitted by law, the Board or the chief executive officer of the Company, in that party’s sole discretion, may determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leave of absence shall be treated as Continuous Service for purposes of vesting in an Option only to such extent as may be provided in the Company’s leave of absence policy, in the written terms of any leave of absence agreement or policy applicable to the Optionholder, or as otherwise required by law.

Unless otherwise provided by the Board, if there is no closing sales price (or closing bid if no sales were reported) for the Common Stock on the date in question, then the Fair Market Value shall be the closing selling price (or closing bid if no sales were reported) on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists.

          (ii) To construe and interpret the Plan and Options granted under it, and to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations for its administration.

     (d) Effect of Board’s Decision. All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith shall not be subject to review by any person and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.
4. Shares Subject to the Plan.
     (a) Share Reserve. Subject to the provisions of Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Options shall not exceed in the aggregate seventy-five thousand (75,000) shares of Common Stock plus an annual increase to be added on January 1st of each year commencing in 2007 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2015, equal to the lesser of: (i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to options granted under the Plan as Initial Grants and Annual Grants during the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) an amount determined by the Board or a Committee.
     (b) Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve. If any Option shall for any reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been exercised in full, the shares of Common Stock not acquired under such Option shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. If any shares subject to an Option are not delivered to an Optionholder because such shares are withheld for the payment of taxes or the Option is exercised through a reduction of shares subject to the Option (i.e., “net exercised”), the number of shares that are not delivered to the Optionholder as a result thereof shall remain available for issuance under the Plan. If the exercise price of an Option is satisfied by tendering shares of Common Stock held by the Optionholder (either by actual delivery or attestation), then the number of shares so tendered shall remain available for issuance under the Plan.
     (c) Source of Shares. The shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired shares, bought on the market or otherwise.
5. Eligibility.
     The Options, as set forth in Section 6, automatically shall be granted under the Plan to all Non-Employee Directors who meet the criteria specified in Section 6.
6. Non-Discretionary Grants.
     (a) Initial Grants. Without any further action of the Board, each person who after the IPO Date is elected or appointed for the first time to be a Non-Employee Director automatically shall, upon the date of his or her initial election or appointment to be a Non-Employee Director, be granted an Initial Grant to purchase twelve thousand five hundred (12,500) shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
     (b) Annual Grants. Without any further action of the Board, on the date of each Annual Meeting, commencing with the Annual Meeting in 2007, each person who is then a Non-Employee Director automatically shall be granted an Annual Grant to purchase ten thousand (10,000) shares of Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided, however, that if a person who is first elected as a Non-Employee Director after the IPO Date has not been serving as a Non-Employee Director for the entire period since the preceding Annual Meeting, then the number of shares subject to such Annual Grant shall be reduced pro rata for

7


 

each full quarter prior to the date of grant during such period for which such person did not serve as a Non- Employee Director.
7. Option Provisions.
     Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as required by the Plan. Each Option shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Board shall deem appropriate. Each Option shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:
     (a) Term. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date on which it was granted.
     (b) Exercise Price. The exercise price of each Option shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on the date the Option is granted.
     (c) Consideration. The purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law, either (i) in cash at the time the Option is exercised or (ii) at the discretion of the Board either at the time of the grant of the Option or subsequent thereto (1) by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock at the time the Option is exercised, (2) by a “net exercise” of the Option (as further described below), (3) pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds or (4) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board. Unless otherwise specifically provided in the Option, the purchase price of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option that is paid by delivery to the Company of other Common Stock acquired, directly or indirectly from the Company, shall be paid only by shares of the Common Stock of the Company that have been held for more than six (6) months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes).
     In the case of a “net exercise” of an Option, the Company will not require a payment of the exercise price of the Option from the Optionholder but will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise by the largest number of whole shares that has a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price. With respect to any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price, the Company shall accept a cash payment from the Optionholder. Shares of Common Stock will no longer be outstanding under an Option (and will therefore not thereafter be exercisable) following the exercise of such Option to the extent of (i) shares used to pay the exercise price of an Option under a “net exercise”, (ii) shares actually delivered to the Optionholder as a result of such exercise and (iii) shares withheld for purposes of tax withholding.
     (d) Transferability. An Option is transferable by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. An Option also may be transferable upon written consent of the Company if, at the time of transfer, a Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act is available for the exercise of the Option and the subsequent resale of the underlying securities. In addition, an

8


 

Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.
     (e) Vesting. Options shall vest as follows:
          (i) Initial Grants: 1/36th of the shares of Common Stock subject to an Initial Grant shall vest monthly over three (3) years.
          (ii) Annual Grants: 1/12th of the shares of Common Stock subject to an Annual Grant shall vest monthly over one (1) year.
     (f) Termination of Continuous Service. In the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason, the Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination of Continuous Service) but only within such period of time ending on the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement. If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate.
8. Securities Law Compliance.
     The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Options and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Options; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Option or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Option. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such Options unless and until such authority is obtained.
9. Use of Proceeds from Stock.
     Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Options shall constitute general funds of the Company.
10. Miscellaneous.
     (a) Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Board shall have the power to accelerate the time at which an Option may first be exercised or the time during which an Option or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Plan or the Option stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.
     (b) Stockholder Rights. No Optionholder shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to such Option unless and until such Optionholder has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Option pursuant to its terms.

9


 

     (c) No Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan, any Option Agreement or other instrument executed thereunder or any Option granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Optionholder any right to continue to serve the Company as a Non-Employee Director or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state in which the Company or the Affiliate is incorporated, as the case may be.
     (d) Investment Assurances. The Company may require an Optionholder, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any Option, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Optionholder’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Option; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Optionholder is acquiring the Common Stock subject to the Option for the Optionholder’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (1) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Option has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.
     (e) Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of an Option Agreement, the Company may in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to an Option by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Optionholder by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) causing the Optionholder to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Optionholder in connection with the Option; or (iii) via such other method as may be set forth in the Option Agreement.
11. Adjustments upon Changes in Common Stock.
     (a) Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in, or other event occurs with respect to, the Common Stock subject to the Plan, or subject to any Option, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of consideration by the Company (each a “Capitalization Adjustment”)), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and

10


 

maximum number of securities subject both to the Plan pursuant to Section 4 and to the nondiscretionary Options specified in Section 6, and the outstanding Options will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Options. The Board shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction “without receipt of consideration” by the Company.)
     (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then all outstanding Options shall terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation.
     (c) Corporate Transaction. The following provisions shall apply to Options in the event of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the Option or any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the holder of the Option or unless otherwise expressly provided by the Board at the time of grant of a Option. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue any or all Options outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar stock options for Options outstanding under the Plan (including options to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company, as the case may be, pursuant to the Corporate Transaction). In the event that any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation does not assume or continue all such outstanding Options or substitute similar stock options for all such outstanding Options, then with respect to Options that have been not assumed, continued or substituted and that are held by Optionholders whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, the vesting of such Options (and, if applicable, the time at which such Options may be exercised) shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate Transaction) be accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board shall determine (or, if the Board shall not determine such a date, to the date that is five (5) days prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction), and such Options shall terminate on the effective time of the Corporate Transaction if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such effective time. With respect to any other Options outstanding under the Plan that have not been assumed, continued or substituted, the vesting of such Options (and, if applicable, the time at which such Options may be exercised) shall not be accelerated, unless otherwise provided in a written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Optionholder, and such Options shall terminate if not exercised (if applicable) prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction.
     (d) Change in Control. An Option may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Option Agreement for such Option or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate and the Optionholder, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration shall occur.
12. Amendment of the Plan and Options.
     (a) Amendment of Plan. Subject to the limitations, if any, of applicable law, the Board, at any time and from time to time, may amend the Plan. However, except as provided in Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, no amendment shall be effective unless

11


 

approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy applicable law.
     (b) Stockholder Approval. The Board, in its sole discretion, may submit any other amendment to the Plan for stockholder approval.
     (c) No Impairment of Rights. Rights under any Option granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be impaired by any amendment of the Plan unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Optionholder and (ii) the Optionholder consents in writing.
     (d) Amendment of Options. The Board, at any time, and from time to time, may amend the terms of any one or more Options, including, but not limited to, amendments to provide terms more favorable than previously provided in the agreement evidencing an Option, subject to any specified limits in the Plan that are not subject to Board discretion; provided, however, that the rights under any Option shall not be impaired by any such amendment unless (i) the Company requests the consent of the Optionholder and (ii) the Optionholder consents in writing.
13. Termination or Suspension of the Plan.
     (a) Plan Term. The Board may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No Options may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.
