granted to Outside Directors.
(ii) Each
Outside Director shall be automatically granted an Initial Option to purchase
eight thousand (8,000) Shares (the First Option) on the date on which the
later of the following events occurs: (A) the effective date of the Companys
initial underwritten public offering of its Common Stock pursuant to a
registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
(B) the date on which such person first becomes a Director, whether through
election by the stockholders of the Company or appointment by the Board to fill
a vacancy.
(iii) Commencing
on September 30, 1994, each Outside Director shall be automatically granted a
subsequent Option to purchase thirty five hundred (3,500) Shares (a Subsequent
Option) on September 30 of each year after the date of the First Option grant,
provided such Outside Director shall have served on the Board for at least six
months prior to the date of the Subsequent Option grant and remains an Outside
Director on such date.
(iv) Notwithstanding
the provisions of subsections (ii) and (iii) hereof, any exercise of an Option
made before the Company has obtained stockholder approval of the Plan in

maintained his Continuous Status as a Director.
3
(vii) In
the event that any Option granted under the Plan would cause the number of
Shares subject to outstanding Options plus the number of Shares previously
purchased under Options to exceed the Pool, then the remaining Shares available
for Option grant shall be granted under Options to the Outside Directors on a
pro rata basis. No further grants shall
be made until such time, if any, as additional Shares become available for
grant under the Plan through action of the stockholders to increase the number
of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or through cancellation or
expiration of Options previously granted hereunder.
(c) Powers of
the Board. Subject to the
provisions and restrictions of the Plan, the Board shall have the authority, in

decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Board shall be final.

Directors. All Options shall be
automatically granted in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 5(b)
hereof. An Outside Director who has
been granted an Option may, if he is otherwise eligible, be granted an
additional Option or Options in accordance with such provisions.
The Plan shall not confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to
continuation of service as a Director or nomination to serve as a Director, nor
shall it interfere in any way with any rights which the Director or the Company
may have to terminate his or her directorship at any time.
7. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the
earlier to occur of its adoption by the Board or its approval by the
stockholders of the Company as described in Section 17 of the Plan. It shall continue in effect for a term of
ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 12 of the Plan.

Consideration. The
consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an
Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Board and
may consist entirely of (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) promissory note, (iv) other
shares which (x) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option,
have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of
surrender, and (y) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to
the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be
exercised, (v) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with
such other documentation as the Board and the broker, if applicable, shall
require to effect an exercise of the Option and delivery to the Company of the
sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, (vi) any combination
of the foregoing methods of payment, or (vii) such other consideration and
method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under
applicable law.

9. Exercise of
Option.
(a) Procedure
for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times
as are set forth in Section 5(b) hereof; provided, however, that no Options
shall be exercisable until stockholder approval of the Plan in accordance with
Section 17 hereof has been obtained.
An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed to be exercised when written notice of such
exercise has been given to the Company in accordance with the terms of the
Option by the person entitled to exercise the Option and full payment for the
Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised has been received by the
Company. Full payment may consist of
any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 8 of the
Plan. Until the issuance (as evidenced
by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company) of the stock certificate evidencing such Shares,
no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder
shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of
the Option. A share certificate for the
number of Shares so acquired shall be issued to the Optionee as soon as
practicable after exercise of the Option.
No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the
record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as
provided in Section 11 of the Plan.
Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the
number of Shares which thereafter may be available, both for purposes of the
Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the
Option is exercised.
(b) Rule 16b-3. Options granted to Outside Directors must
comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act or any successor thereto and shall contain such additional
conditions or restrictions as may be required thereunder to qualify for the
maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan
transactions.
(c) Termination
of Continuous Status as a Director.
In the event an Optionees Continuous Status as a Director terminates
(other than upon the Optionees death, total and permanent disability (as
defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or Retirement), the Optionee may
exercise his or her Option, but only within three (3) months from the date of
such termination, and only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to
exercise it at the date of such termination (but in no event later than the
expiration of its ten (10) year term).
To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise an Option
at the date of such termination, and to the extent that the Optionee does not
exercise such Option (to the extent otherwise so entitled) within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.
(d) Disability of
Optionee. In the event
Optionees Continuous Status as a Director terminates as a result of total and
permanent disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the Option
granted hereunder to such Optionee shall become vested and exercisable for the
full number of Shares covered by the Option.
The Optionee may exercise his or her Option, at any time within twelve
(12) months from the date of such termination (but in no event later than the
expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of
Grant). If, after termination, the
Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein,
the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert
to the Plan.
(e) Death of
Optionee. In the event of
the death of an Optionee, the Option shall become vested and exercisable for
the full number of Shares covered by the Option. The Option held by the Optionee
5
at the
time of death may be exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following
the date of death by the Optionees estate or by a person who acquired the
right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance. In no event shall an Option be exercised
later than the expiration of the term of the Option, as set forth in the Option
agreement. If, after death, the
Optionees estate or a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by
bequest or inheritance does not exercise the Option within the time specified
herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall
revert to the Plan.
(f) Retirement of Optionee. In the event of an Optionees Retirement
while a Director, the Option shall become vested and exercisable for the full
number of Shares covered by the Option.
The Option held by the Optionee at the time of Retirement may be
exercised at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of
Retirement. In no event shall an Option
be exercised later than the expiration of the term of the Option, as set forth
in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that (i) this subsection (f) shall
not apply to grants made on or before May 16, 2002, and (ii) this subsection
(f) shall apply to grants made on or after May 17, 2002. If the Option is not so exercised within the
time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by
such Option shall revert to the Plan.
10. Non-Transferability
of Options. The Option may
not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in
any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may
be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee.
11. 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 number of Shares
covered by each outstanding Option and the number of Shares which have been
authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options have yet been
granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration
of an Option, as well as the price per Share covered by each such outstanding
Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the
number of issued Shares 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 issued Shares 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 issuance 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 subject to an Option. In
addition, 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 issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the
Company shall not result in an adjustment to the number of shares granted to
Outside Directors pursuant to Section 5(b)(ii) and Section 5(b)(iii) of the
Plan subsequent to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend,
combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or other increase or
decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company.
(b) Dissolution
or Liquidation. In the event
of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to the extent that
an Option has not been previously exercised, it will terminate immediately
prior to the consummation of such proposed action. The Board may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such
instances, declare that any Option shall terminate as of a date fixed by the
Board and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option as to all
or any part of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option
would not otherwise be exercisable.
6
(c) Merger or
Asset Sale. In the event of
a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option shall
be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by the successor
corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation
does not agree to assume the Option or to substitute an equivalent option, the
Board shall, in lieu of such assumption or substitution, provide for the
Optionee to have the right to exercise the Option as to all of the Optioned
Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Board makes an Option fully
exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or
sale of assets, the Board shall notify the Optionee that the Option shall be
fully exercisable for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such
notice, and the Option will terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the
Option shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets,
the option or right confers the right to purchase, for each Share of Optioned
Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets,
the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property)
received in the merger or sale of assets by holders of Common Stock for each
Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were
offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if
such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was not solely
common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Board may, with
the consent of the successor corporation and the participant, provide for the
consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share of
Optioned Stock subject to 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 in the merger or sale of
assets.
12. Amendment
and Termination of the Plan.
(a) Amendment
and Termination. Except as
set forth in Section 5, the Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend, or
discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension, or
discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of any Optionee
under any grant theretofore made, without his or her consent. In addition, to the extent necessary and
desirable to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act (or any other
applicable law or regulation), the Company shall obtain stockholder approval of
any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree as required.
(b) Effect of
Amendment or Termination.
Any such amendment or termination of the Plan shall not affect Options
already granted and such Options shall remain in full force and effect as if
this Plan had not been amended or terminated.
13. Time of
Granting Options. The date
of grant of an Option shall, for all purposes, be the date determined in
accordance with Section 5(b) hereof.
Notice of the determination shall be given to each Outside Director to
whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such
grant.
14. Conditions
Upon Issuance of Shares.
Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option unless
the exercise of such Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares
pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including,
without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act,
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws, 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 relevant provisions of law.
7
Inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body
having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Companys counsel to be
necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall
relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell
such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
15. Reservation
of Shares. The Company,
during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such
number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the
Plan.
16. Option
Agreement. Options shall be
evidenced by written option agreements in such form as the Board shall approve.
17. Stockholder
Approval. Continuance of the
Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company at or
prior to the first annual meeting of stockholders held subsequent to the
granting of an Option hereunder. Such
stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under
applicable state and federal law.
