| (c) | All Employees who participate in the Plan shall have the same rights and privileges under the Plan, except for differences that may be mandated by local law and that are consistent with Code section 423(b)(5); provided, however, that Employees participating in a sub-plan adopted pursuant to Section 13(c) that is not designated to qualify under Section 423 of the Code need not have the same rights and privileges as Employees participating in the Code Section 423 Plan. In addition, the Board may impose restrictions on eligibility and participation of Employees who are officers and directors to facilitate compliance with federal or State securities laws or foreign laws.

4. | Offering Periods. The Plan shall be implemented by consecutive Offering Periods until the Plan is terminated in accordance with Section 19 hereof. Subject to the requirements of Section 19, the Board shall have the power to change the duration of Offering Periods with respect to future offerings without stockholder approval if such change is announced at 15 days prior to the scheduled beginning of the first Offering Period to be affected.

5. | Participation.

| (a) | An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by completing a subscription agreement authorizing payroll deductions in the form (including by electronic communication) provided by the Company and filing it with the Company’s payroll office in accordance with procedures established by the Company prior to fifteenth of the month preceding the applicable Enrollment Date, unless a different time for filing the subscription agreement is set by the Company for all eligible Employees with respect to a given Offering Period.

| (b) | Payroll deductions for a participant shall commence on the first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period to which such authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.

6. | Payroll Deductions.

| (a) | At the time a participant files his or her subscription agreement, he or she shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each pay day during the Offering Period in an amount not exceeding 10 percent of the Compensation which he or she receives on each pay day during the Offering Period, and the aggregate of such payroll deductions during the Offering Period shall not exceed 10 percent of the participant’s Compensation during said Offering Period.

| (b) | All payroll deductions made for a participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan and will be withheld in whole percentages only. A participant may not make any additional payments into such account.

| (c) | A participant may discontinue his or her payroll deductions during the Offering Period as provided in Section 10 hereof, or may increase or decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions during an Offering Period by completing and filing (including by electronic communication) with the Company in accordance with procedures established by the Company a new subscription agreement authorizing a change in payroll reduction rate at any time prior to the thirtieth day preceding the Exercise Date (or such other deadline as the Company may determine from time to time); provided, however that a participant may not change his or her rate of payroll deductions more than once in a given Offering Period. The change in rate shall be effective as soon as administratively possible following the Company’s receipt of the new subscription agreement. A participant’s subscription agreement shall remain in effect for successive Offering Periods unless terminated as provided in Section 10.

| (d) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 3(b) herein, a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased to zero percent at such time during any Offering Period which is scheduled to end during the current calendar year (the “Current Offering Period”) that the aggregate of all payroll deductions which were previously used to purchase stock under the Plan in a prior Offering Period which ended during that calendar year plus all payroll deductions accumulated with respect to the Current Offering Period equal $25,000. Payroll deductions shall recommence at the rate provided in such participant’s subscription agreement at the beginning of the first Offering Period which is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10.

| (e) | At the time the option is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Company’s Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, the participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s federal, state, foreign or other tax or social insurance withholding obligations, if any, which arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefit attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Employee.

7. | Grant of Option.

| (a) | On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on each Exercise Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price) up to a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock determined by dividing such Employee’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Exercise Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Exercise Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided that in no event shall an Employee be permitted to purchase during each Offering Period more than a number of shares determined by dividing $12,500 by the fair market value of a share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Enrollment Date, and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(b) and 12 hereof. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8 and shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

| (b) | Options may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for stock options held by employees of another corporation who become, or who became prior to the effective date of the Plan, Employees of the Company or a Designated Subsidiary as a result of a merger or consolidation of such other corporation with the Company, or the acquisition by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary of all or a portion of the assets of such other corporation, or the acquisition by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary of stock of such other corporation with the result that such other corporation becomes a Designated Subsidiary.

8. | Exercise of Option. A participant’s option for the purchase of shares will be exercised automatically on the Exercise Date, and the maximum number of full shares subject to option shall be purchased for such participant at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated payroll deductions in his or her account. No fractional shares will be purchased; any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account which are not sufficient to purchase a full share shall be retained in the participant’s account for the subsequent Offering Period. Any other monies left over in a participant’s account after the Exercise Date shall be returned to the participant. During a participant’s lifetime, a participant’s option to purchase shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

9. | Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Exercise Date on which a purchase of shares occurs, the

| Company shall arrange the transfer of the shares purchased upon exercise of each participant’s option in electronic form to a broker designated by the participant, or, in the discretion of the Company, the delivery to the participant of a certificate representing such shares.

10. | Discontinuance of Payroll Deductions; Termination of Employment.

| (a) | A participant may discontinue his or her payroll deductions during an Offering Period by giving written or electronic notice to the Company in the form provided by the Company at any time prior to the thirtieth day preceding the Exercise Date (or such other deadline as the Company may determine from time to time). The discontinuance shall be effective as soon as administratively possible following the Company’s receipt of the notice of discontinuance. Although no further payroll deductions for the purchase of shares will be made during the Offering Period, all of the participant’s payroll deductions credited to his or her account prior to the discontinuance will be applied to the purchase of shares in accordance with Section 8. If a participant discontinues his or her payroll deductions during an Offering Period, payroll deductions will not resume at the beginning of the succeeding Offering Period unless the participant delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.

| (b) | Upon a participant’s ceasing to be an Employee for any reason or upon termination of a participant’s employment relationship (as described in Section 2(i)), the payroll deductions credited to such participant’s account during the Offering Period but not yet used to exercise the option will be returned to such participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the participant’s estate, and such participant’s option will be automatically terminated.

| (c) | In the event an Employee fails to remain an Employee for at least 20 hours per week during an Offering Period in which the Employee is a participant, he or she will be deemed to have elected to discontinue payroll deductions.

| (d) | A participant’s discontinuance of payroll deductions during an Offering Period will not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company or in succeeding Offering Periods which commence after the termination of the Offering Period during which the participant discontinues payroll deductions.

11. | Interest. No interest shall accrue on the payroll deductions of a participant in the Plan.

12. | Stock.

| (a) | The maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that may be made available for sale under the Plan is 12,000,000, subject to adjustment upon changes in capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 17. If on a given Exercise Date, the number of shares with respect to which options are to be exercised exceeds the number of shares then available under the Plan, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares remaining available for purchase in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be equitable.

| (b) | The participant will have no interest or voting right in shares covered by his option until such option has been exercised.

| (c) | Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the participant.

13. | Administration.

| (a) | The Plan shall be administered by the Board or the Committee. The Board or the Committee shall have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility and to adjudicate all disputed claims filed under the Plan, and to provide or permit any notice or other communication required or authorized by the Plan in either written or electronic form. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Committee may delegate such of its administrative responsibilities as it deems appropriate provided such delegation is in writing. Every finding, decision and determination made by the Board or the Committee shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and binding upon all parties. Members of the Board who are eligible Employees are permitted to participate in the Plan, provided that:

| (i) | Members of the Board who are eligible to participate in the Plan may not vote on any matter affecting the administration of the Plan or the grant of any option pursuant to the Plan.

| (ii) | No member of the Board who is eligible to participate in the Plan may be a member of the Committee.

| (b) | Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section 13, in the event that Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any successor provision (“Rule 16b-3”) provides specific requirements for the administrators of plans of this type, the Plan shall be only administered by such a body and in such a manner as shall comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3.

| (c) | Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan other than Section 12(a), the Company may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Non-423 Component to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures for jurisdictions outside of the United States. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company is specifically authorized to adopt rules, procedures and sub-plans, which, for purposes of the Non-423 Component, may be outside the scope of Section 423 of the Code, regarding, without limitation, the definition of Compensation, handling of payroll deductions, making of contributions to the Plan (including, without limitation, in forms other than payroll deductions), establishment of bank or trust accounts to hold payroll deductions and shares of Common Stock, payment of interest, conversion of local currency, obligations to pay payroll tax, determination of beneficiary designation requirements, withholding procedures and handling of delivery of shares of Common Stock, which may vary according to local requirements. Further, the Company is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding the eligibility of employees to participate in the Non-423 Component and to identify and designate Affiliates from time to time as eligible to participate in the Non-423 Component.

14. | Transferability. Neither payroll deductions credited to a participant’s account nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect.

15. | Use of Funds. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

16. | Reports. Individual accounts will be maintained for each participant in the Plan. Statements of account will be given to participating Employees at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of payroll deductions, the Purchase Price, and the number of shares purchased.

17. | Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger, Asset Sale or Change of Control.

| (a) | Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, the Reserves as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each option under the Plan which has not yet been exercised, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration”. Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an option.

| (b) | Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Offering Period will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board.

| (c) | Merger or Asset Sale. In the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, each option under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation, unless the Board deter mines, in the exercise of its sole discretion and in lieu of such assumption or substitution, to shorten the Offering Period then in progress by setting a new Exercise Date (the “New Exercise Date”) or to cancel each outstanding right to purchase and refund all sums collected from participants during the Offering Period then in progress. If the Board shortens the Offering Period then in progress in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Board shall notify each participant in writing, at least 10 business days prior to the New Exercise Date, that the Exercise Date for his option has been changed to the New Exercise Date and that his option will be exercised automatically on the New Exercise Date. For purposes of this Section, an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be assumed if, following the sale of assets or merger, the option confers the right to purchase, for each share of option stock subject to the option immediately prior to the sale of assets or merger, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received in the sale of assets or merger by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held on the effective date of the transaction (and if such holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the sale of assets or merger was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the Board may, with the consent of the successor corporation and the participant, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock and the sale of assets or merger.

18. | The Board may, if it so determines in the exercise of its sole discretion, also make provision for adjusting the Reserves, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each outstanding option, in the event the Company effects one or more reorganizations, recapitalization, rights offerings or other increases or reductions of shares of its outstanding Common Stock, and in the event of the Company being consolidated with or merged into any other corporation.

19. | Amendment or Termination.

| (a) | The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time and for any reason terminate or amend the Plan. The Committee may at any time and for any reason amend the Plan so long as such action complies with applicable law, except that any Plan amendment to be presented to the stockholders for approval shall first be approved by the Board. In addition, the principal human resources officer of the Company may amend the Plan (i) to maintain qualification of the Plan (or any component thereof) under Code Section 423 or (ii) to make technical, administrative or editorial Plan amendments provided that such technical, administrative or editorial changes do not materially increase the cost to the Company of maintaining the Plan. Except as provided in Section 17, no such termination can affect options previously granted, provided that an Offering Period may be terminated by the Board of Directors on any Exercise Date if the Board determines that the termination of the Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Except as provided in Section 17, no amendment may make any change in any option theretofore granted which adversely affects the rights of any participant. To the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or under Section 423 of the Code (or any successor rule or provision or any other applicable law or regulation), the Company shall obtain stockholder approval in such a manner and to such a degree as required.

| (b) | Without stockholder consent and without regard to whether any participant rights may be considered to have been “adversely affected,” the Board (or the Committee) shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Stock for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the participant’s Compensation, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Board (or the Committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable which are consistent with the Plan.

20. | Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof.

21. | Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the shares may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.

22. | Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the approval by the stockholders of the Company. It shall continue in effect until it is terminated under Section 19.

23. | Additional Restrictions of Rule 16b-3. The terms and conditions of options granted hereunder to, and the purchase of shares by, persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3. This Plan shall be deemed to contain, and such options shall contain, and the shares issued upon exercise thereof shall be subject to, such additional conditions and restrictions as may be required by Rule 16b-3 to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions.
