STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT


Tax Treatment		This option is intended to be a nonstatutory stock option, as provided in the Notice of Stock Option Grant.

Vesting		This option becomes exercisable in installments, as shown in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. This option may become exercisable on an accelerated basis pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Plan. In addition, this option shall become exercisable in full if: • The Company is subject to a Change in Control before your Service terminates. • Your Service terminates due to your death. This option will in no event become exercisable for additional shares after your Service has terminated for any reason except as set forth above.

Term		This option expires in any event at the close of business at Company headquarters on the day before the 10^th anniversary of the Date of Grant, as shown in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. (It will expire earlier if your Service terminates, as described below.)

Termination of Service		If your Service terminates for any reason, then this option will expire at the close of business at Company headquarters on the date 12 months after your termination date. The Company determines when your Service terminates for this purpose.

Restrictions on Exercise		The Company will not permit you to exercise this option if the issuance of shares at that time would violate any law or regulation.

Notice of Exercise		When you wish to exercise this option, you must notify the Company by filing the proper “Notice of Exercise” form at the address given on the form. Your notice must specify how many shares you wish to purchase. Your notice must also specify how your shares should be registered. The notice will be effective when the Company receives it. If someone else wants to exercise this option after your death, that person must prove to the Company’s satisfaction that he or she is entitled to do so.


Form of Payment		When you submit your notice of exercise, you must include payment of the option exercise price for the shares that you are purchasing. To the extent permitted by applicable law, payment may be made in one (or a combination of two or more) of the following forms: • Your personal check, a cashier’s check or a money order. • Certificates for shares of Company stock that you own, along with any forms needed to effect a transfer of those shares to the Company. The value of the shares, determined as of the effective date of the option exercise, will be applied to the option exercise price. Instead of surrendering shares of Company stock, you may attest to the ownership of those shares on a form provided by the Company and have the same number of shares subtracted from the option shares issued to you. • Irrevocable directions to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of your option shares and to deliver to the Company from the sale proceeds an amount sufficient to pay the option exercise price and any withholding taxes. (The balance of the sale proceeds, if any, will be delivered to you.) The directions must be given by signing a special “Notice of Exercise” form provided by the Company.
Withholding Taxes and Stock Withholding		You will not be allowed to exercise this option unless you make arrangements acceptable to the Company to pay any withholding taxes that may be due as a result of the option exercise. With the Company’s consent, these arrangements may include withholding shares of Company stock that otherwise would be issued to you when you exercise this option. The value of these shares, determined as of the effective date of the option exercise, will be applied to the withholding taxes.

Restrictions on Resale		You agree not to sell any option shares at a time when applicable laws, Company policies or an agreement between the Company and its underwriters prohibit a sale. This restriction will apply as long as your Service continues and for such period of time after the termination of your Service as the Company may specify.


Transfer of Option		Prior to your death, only you may exercise this option. You cannot transfer or assign this option. For instance, you may not sell this option or use it as security for a loan. If you attempt to do any of these things, this option will immediately become invalid. You may, however, dispose of this option in your will or a beneficiary designation. Regardless of any marital property settlement agreement, the Company is not obligated to honor a notice of exercise from your former spouse, nor is the Company obligated to recognize your former spouse’s interest in your option in any other way.

Retention Rights		Your option or this Agreement does not give you the right to be retained by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company in any capacity. The Company and its subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate your Service at any time, with or without cause. Nor shall this Agreement in any way be construed or interpreted so as to affect adversely or otherwise impair the right of the Company or the stockholders to remove you from the Board of Directors at any time in accordance with the provisions of applicable law.

Stockholder Rights		You, or your estate or heirs, have no rights as a stockholder of the Company until you have exercised this option by giving the required notice to the Company and paying the exercise price. No adjustments are made for dividends or other rights if the applicable record date occurs before you exercise this option, except as described in the Plan.

Adjustments		In the event of a stock split, a stock dividend or a similar change in Company stock, the number of shares covered by this option and the exercise price per share will be adjusted pursuant to the Plan.

Applicable Law		This Agreement will be interpreted and enforced under the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to their choice-of-law provisions).

The Plan and Other Agreements		The text of the Plan is incorporated in this Agreement by reference. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan. This Agreement and the Plan constitute the entire understanding between you and the Company regarding this option. Any prior agreements, commitments or negotiations concerning this option are superseded. This Agreement may be amended only by another written agreement between the parties.

BY SIGNING THE COVER SHEET OF THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO ALL OF THE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND IN THE PLAN.
