AMENDED & RESTATED
2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

     1.  Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of the Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of substantial responsibility, to provide additional incentive to Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to promote the success of the Company’s business. Options granted under the Plan may be Incentive Stock Options (as defined under Section 422 of the Code) or Nonstatutory Stock Options, as determined by the Administrator at the time of grant of the Option. Stock Appreciation Rights may also be granted under the Plan.

     2.  Definitions. As used herein, the following definitions shall apply:

     (a)  “Administrator” means the Board or any of its Committees, acting pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Plan at the time in question.

     (k)  “Employee” means any person, including officers and directors, employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company.

If there is no trading in the Common Stock on the applicable date, then Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall mean the closing sale price for such stock on the next preceding date on which there was trading in the Common Stock. If the Common Stock ceases to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange, then the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall mean the value determined in good faith by the Administrator based upon reference to other established markets or market systems on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted, or if the Common Stock is not traded on any market or quoted on any market system, then on such valuation method as is deemed appropriate by the Administrator.

     (a)  Plan Limit. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan is 15,000,000, provided, however, that (i) the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under Incentive Stock Options may not exceed 2,500,000, and (ii) the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan shall be reduced by one Share for each Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan. In computing the foregoing limits to the extent any Options or Stock Appreciation Rights expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised in full, the Common Stock subject to such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall again be available for issuance under the Plan.

     (b)  Individual Limit. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 of the Plan, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued to any individual under the Plan, whether issued under Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, shall not exceed 750,000 Shares in any fiscal year.

     4.  Administration of the Plan.

     (a)  Procedure.

     (i)  Administration with Respect to Officers and Directors. With respect to Awards to Employees who are also officers or directors of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee designated by the Board to administer the Plan, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to permit the Plan to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan. With respect to Awards to Non-Employee Directors, the Plan shall be administered by the Board in accordance with Rule 16b-3, provided that no Non-Employee Director shall vote on any decision affecting his individual benefits under the Plan. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time, the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies however caused and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by Rule 16b-3 with respect to a plan intended to qualify thereunder as a discretionary plan.

     (ii)  Multiple Administrative Bodies. If permitted by Rule 16b-3, the Plan may be administered by different bodies with respect to directors, non-director officers and Employees who are neither directors nor officers.

     (iii)  Administration with Respect to Consultants and Other Employees. With respect to Awards to Employees or Consultants who are neither directors nor officers of the Company, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a Committee designated by the Board, which Committee shall be constituted in such a manner as to satisfy the legal requirements relating to the administration of incentive stock option plans, if any, and of Delaware corporate law, the Code and federal securities laws. Once appointed, such Committee shall continue to serve in its designated capacity until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time, the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members thereof, remove members (with or without cause) and appoint new members in substitution therefor, fill vacancies however caused and remove all members of the Committee and thereafter directly administer the Plan, all to the extent permitted by applicable laws.

     (b)  Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to the Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its sole discretion:

     (i) to determine the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock in accordance with Section 2(m) of the Plan;

     (ii) to select the Employees, Non-Employee Directors and Consultants to whom Awards may from time to time be granted under the Plan;

     (iii) to determine whether and to what extent Incentive Stock Options, Nonstatutory Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, or any combination thereof, are granted under the Plan;

     (iv) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted under the Plan;

     (v) to approve forms of Grant Agreements for use under the Plan;

     (vi) to determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted under the Plan (including, but not limited to, the exercise price and method, form of settlement, vesting period and acceleration of vesting and forfeiture restrictions and waiver of forfeiture restrictions, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator shall in its sole discretion determine), which terms and conditions shall be set forth in a Grant Agreement approved by the Administrator;

     (vii) to amend any of the terms and conditions of any Award granted under the Plan and its associated Grant Agreement during the period of 12 months following the date of the grant of such Award; provided , however , that no such amendment shall (a) change the exercise price of such Award, (b) change the number of Shares covered by such Award, (c) change the initial vesting schedule of such Award or (d) change the term of such Award; and

     (viii) with respect to any Employee or Consultant who is resident outside the United States, to amend or vary the terms of the Plan in order to conform such terms with the requirements of local law, to take advantage of preferential provisions under local law, or to meet the objectives

of the Plan, establish administrative rules and procedures to facilitate the operation of the Plan in any non-U.S. jurisdiction and establish one or more sub-plans for these purposes.

The Administrator shall not have the authority under the preceding clauses (vi) or (vii) to make any determination or to take any action with respect to an Award that (A) if such determination or action were implemented through an amendment to the Plan, would constitute a “material revision” of the Plan under the Rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or (B) would otherwise require approval of the stockholders of the Company.

     (c)  No Repricing Without Stockholder Approval. Other than in connection with a change provided in Section 14, the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock Option, or Stock Appreciation Right shall not be reduced without stockholder approval. Further, no Incentive Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock Option, or Stock Appreciation Right shall be cancelled and then replaced with an Incentive Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock Option, or Stock Appreciation Right that has a lower exercise price. The standard for determining whether any Incentive Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock Option, or Stock Appreciation Right is cancelled and replaced with an Incentive Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock Option, or Stock Appreciation Right that has a lower exercise price shall be same standard as that applied under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)” (as may be amended or modified and any subsequent accounting pronouncement replacing SFAS 123(R)), such that if an Incentive Stock Option, Nonstatutory Stock Option, or Stock Appreciation Right would be considered to have been cancelled and replaced under SFAS 123(R), then such cancellation and replacement shall not be permitted under the Plan.

     5.  Eligibility.

     (a) Nonstatutory Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Employees, Consultants or Non-Employee Directors. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. An Employee, Consultant or Non-Employee Director who has been granted Awards under the Plan may, if such individual is otherwise eligible, be granted additional Awards under the Plan.

     (b) Each Option shall be designated in the Grant Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000 (whether due to acceleration of exercisability, miscalculation or error), such excess shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. In the event that only a portion of the Options granted at the same time can be applied to the $100,000 limit, the Company shall issue separate share certificates (or book entry shares) for such number of Shares as does not exceed the $100,000 limit and shall designate such Shares as Incentive Stock Option Shares in its Share transfer records.

     (c) For purposes of Section 5(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they are granted, and the Fair Market Value of Shares shall be determined as of the time the Options with respect to such Shares are granted.

     6.  Term of Plan. Subject to any applicable law, the Plan shall continue in effect until terminated pursuant to Section 17, provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Options or other Awards shall be granted under the Plan following the expiration of 10 years from the date the Plan is adopted, or the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders, whichever is earlier.

     7.  Term of Options. The term of each Option shall be the term stated in the Grant Agreement, provided, however, that no Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date such Option is granted or such shorter period as may be provided in the Grant Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Option is granted or such shorter period
