RECITALS

 

A.   The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of retaining the services of selected Employees, non-employee members of the Board or of the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary and consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

 

B.   Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Corporation’s grant of an option to Optionee.

 

C.   All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix.

 

NOW, THEREFORE , it is hereby agreed as follows:

 

1.   Grant of Option .  The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in the Grant Notice.  The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 3 at the Exercise Price.

 

2.   Shareholder Approval .  This option shall not become exercisable with respect to any Option Shares unless shareholder approval of the Plan is obtained on or before __________, 2009.  In the event shareholder approval of the Plan is not obtained on or before July 1, 2009, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding.

 

3.   Option Term .  This option shall have a maximum term of five (5) years measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 6 or 7.

 

4.   Limited Transferability .  This option shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution following Optionee’s death and may be exercised, during Optionee’s lifetime, only by Optionee.  However, if this option is designated a Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice, then this option may, in connection with the Optionee’s estate plan, be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee’s lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s immediate family or to a trust established for the exclusive benefit of Optionee and/or one or more such family members.  The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such assignment.  The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this option immediately prior to such assignment.

 

5.   Dates of Exercise .  Subject to Paragraphs 2 and 11, this option shall become exercisable for the Option Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice.  As the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall accumulate, and the option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 6 or 7.

 

6.   Cessation of Service/Termination of Option .  The option term specified in Paragraph 2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable:

 

                 (a)   Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than death, Permanent Disability or Misconduct) while holding this option, then Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

 

                 (b)   Should Optionee die while holding this option, then the personal representative of Optionee’s estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee’s will or in accordance with the laws of inheritance shall have the right to exercise this option.  Such right shall lapse, and this option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death or (ii) the Expiration Date.

 

                 (c)   Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Permanent Disability while holding this option, then Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option.  In no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

 

                 (d)   The applicable post-Service exercise period in effect for this option pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 6 shall automatically be extended by an additional period of time equal in duration to any interval within that otherwise applicable post-Service exercise period during which the exercise of this option or the immediate sale of the Option Shares acquired hereunder cannot be effected in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, but in no event shall such an extension result in the continuation of this option beyond the Expiration Date.

                 (e)   During the limited period of post-Service exercisability, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested Option Shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service.  Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised.  However, this option shall, immediately upon Optionee’s cessation of Service for any reason, terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any Option Shares in which Optionee is not otherwise at that time vested or for which this option is not otherwise at that time exercisable.

 

                 (f)   Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct, or should Optionee engage in Misconduct at any time Optionee holds this option, then this option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.

 

7.   Special Acceleration of Option .

 

                 (a)   This option to the extent outstanding at the time of a Change in Control but not otherwise fully exercisable, shall not become exercisable on an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) this option is, in connection with the Change in Control, to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) this option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time of the Change in Control on the Option Shares for which this option is not otherwise at that time exercisable (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent payout of that spread in accordance with the same option exercise/vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice.  However, if none of the foregoing conditions apply to this option at the time of Change in Control, then this option shall automatically accelerate so that such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of that Change in Control, become exercisable for all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to this option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock.

 

                 (b)   Immediately following the Change in Control, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent this option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with the Change in Control or is otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.

 

                 (c)   If this option is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or is otherwise to continue in full force and effect, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Change in Control had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of this option, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control transaction.

 

                 (d)   This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

 

8.   Adjustment in Option Shares .  Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder.

 

9.   Shareholder Rights . The holder of this option shall not have any shareholder rights by reason of this option.

 

10.   Manner of Exercising Option .

 

                 (a)   In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions:

 

                       (i)   Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of Exercise for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised.

 

                       (ii)   Provide irrevocable instructions (I) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of all the purchased shares and (II) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale transaction.  The broker shall remit to the Corporation sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, contributions, payment on account obligations or other payments (“Taxes”) required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise.  All remaining proceeds shall be paid in cash to Optionee in accordance with the Corporation’s procedures and applicable law and regulations.  The sale of the purchased shares shall be effected in accordance with the procedures established by the Corporation and the brokerage firm.
