Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Committee”) has determined that the Optionee is to be awarded, on
the terms and conditions set forth herein, and on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Plan, an option (an “Option”) to purchase shares of common
stock of the Company as specified below, and hereby grants such Option.
Capitalized terms used herein which are not defined in this Stock Option
Agreement will have the meanings set forth in the Plan. The Optionee
acknowledges that he or she has received a copy of the Plan Prospectus.

Option has been granted as of the Grant Date and shall terminate on the

provided herein and in the Plan. Upon the termination or expiration of the
Option, all rights of the Optionee in respect of such Option hereunder shall
cease.
(b) Subject
to the provisions of the Plan and this Stock Option Agreement, except as may
otherwise be provided by the Committee, the Option shall vest in accordance
with the schedule set forth on Exhibit A, so long as the Optionee

provided, however, that the Option shall become fully vested and exercisable
