II. AGREEMENT
---------
1. Grant of Option. The Plan Administrator of the Company hereby grants
---------------
to the Optionee named in the Notice of Grant (the "Optionee"), an option (the
"Option") to purchase the number of Shares set forth in the Notice of Grant, at
the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the "Exercise
Price"), and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, which is
incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 14(c) of the Plan, in the
event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Option
Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail.
If designated in the Notice of Grant as an Incentive Stock Option
("ISO"), this Option is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as
defined in Section 422 of the Code. Nevertheless, to the extent that it exceeds
the $100,000 rule of Code Section 422(d), this Option shall be treated as a
Nonstatutory Stock Option ("NSO").
2. Exercise of Option. This Option shall be exercisable during its term
------------------
in accordance with the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan as follows:
(a) Right to Exercise.
-----------------
(i) Subject to subsections 2(a)(ii) and 2(a)(iii) below,
this Option shall be exercisable cumulatively according to the vesting schedule
set forth in the Notice of Grant. Alternatively, at the election of the
Optionee, this option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time as to
Shares which have not yet vested. For purposes of this Stock Option Agreement,
Shares subject to the Option shall vest based on continued employment of
Optionee with the Company. Vested Shares shall not be subject to the Company's
repurchase right (as set forth in the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement,
attached hereto as Exhibit C-1).
----------
(ii) As a condition to exercising this Option for unvested
Shares, the Optionee shall execute the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.
(iii) This Option may not be exercised for a fraction of
a Share.
(b) Method of Exercise. This Option shall be exercisable by
------------------
delivery of an exercise notice in the form attached as Exhibit A (the "Exercise
---------
Notice") which shall state the election to exercise the Option, the number of
Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised, and such other
representations and agreements as may be required by the Company. The Exercise
Notice shall be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all
Exercised Shares. This Option shall be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by
the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by the aggregate
Exercise Price.
-2-
No Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option
unless such issuance and such exercise complies with Applicable Laws. Assuming
such compliance, for income tax purposes the Shares shall be considered
transferred to the Optionee on the date on which the Option is exercised with
respect to such Shares for such Exercised Shares.
3. Optionee's Representations. In the event the Shares have not been
--------------------------
registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
at the time this Option is exercised, the Optionee shall, if required by the
Company, concurrently with the exercise of all or any portion of this Option,
deliver to the Company his or her Investment Representation Statement in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
---------
4. Lock-Up Period. Optionee hereby agrees that Optionee shall not offer,
--------------
pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase,
purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to
purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any
Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company or enter into any swap,
hedging or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any
of the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock (or other
securities) of the Company held by Optionee (other than those included in the
registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters
of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed 180 days
following the effective date of any registration statement of the Company filed
under the Securities Act.
Optionee agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be
reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter which are consistent with
the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto. In
addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters
of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, Optionee shall provide,
within ten days of such request, such information as may be required by the
Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public
offering of the Company's securities pursuant to a registration statement filed
under the Securities Act. The obligations described in this Section shall not
apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or
Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a
registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction on Form S-4 or
similar forms that may be promulgated in the future. The Company may impose
stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other
securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of such Market
Standoff Period. Any transferee of the Option or shares acquired pursuant to the
Option shall be bound by this Section.
5. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price shall be
-----------------
by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of the
Optionee:
(a) cash;
(b) check;
(c) consideration received by the Company under a formal
cashless exercise program adopted by the Company in connection with the Plan; or
-3-
(d) surrender of other Shares which, (i) in the case of Shares
acquired upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more
than six months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on
the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised
Shares.
6. Restrictions on Exercise. This Option may not be exercised until
------------------------
such time as the Plan has been approved by the shareholders of the Company, or
if the issuance of such Shares upon such exercise or the method of payment of
consideration for such shares would constitute a violation of any Applicable
Law.
7. Non-Transferability of Option. This Option may not be
-----------------------------
transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or
distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Optionee only by
Optionee. The terms of the Plan and this Option Agreement shall be binding upon
the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns of the Optionee. 8.
Term of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the
Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with
the Plan and the terms of this Option.
9. Tax Consequences. Set forth below is a brief summary as of the
----------------
date of this Option of some of the federal tax consequences of exercise of this
Option and disposition of the Shares. THIS SUMMARY IS NECESSARILY INCOMPLETE,
AND THE TAX LAWS AND REGULATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. THE OPTIONEE SHOULD
CONSULT A TAX ADVISER BEFORE EXERCISING THIS OPTION OR DISPOSING OF THE SHARES.
(a) Exercise of ISO. If this Option qualifies as an ISO, there
---------------
will be no regular federal income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option,
although the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date
of exercise over the Exercise Price will be treated as an adjustment to the
alternative minimum tax for federal tax purposes and may subject the Optionee to
the alternative minimum tax in the year of exercise.
(b) Exercise of ISO Following Disability. If the Optionee
------------------------------------
ceases to be an Employee as a result of a disability that is not a total and
permanent disability as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, to the extent
permitted on the date of termination, the Optionee must exercise an ISO within
three months of such termination for the ISO to be qualified as an ISO.
(c) Exercise of Nonstatutory Stock Option. There may be a
-------------------------------------
regular federal inco me tax liability upon the exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock
Option. The Optionee will be treated as having received compensation income
(taxable at ordinary income tax rates) equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the date of exercise over the Exercise Price. If
Optionee is an Employee or a former Employee, the Company will be required to
withhold from Optionee's compensation or collect from Optionee and pay to the
applicable taxing authorities an amount in cash equal to a percentage of this
compensation income at the time of exercise, and may refuse to honor the
exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not
delivered at the time of exercise.
-4-
(d) Disposition of Shares. In the case of an NSO, if Shares are
---------------------
held for at least one year, any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will
be treated as long-term capital gain for federal income tax purposes. In the
case of an ISO, if Shares transferred pursuant to the Option are held for at
least one year after exercise and at least two years after the Date of Grant,
any gain realized on disposition of the Shares will also be treated as long-term
capital gain for federal income tax purposes. If Shares purchased under an ISO
are disposed of within one year after exercise or two years after the Date of
Grant, any gain realized on such disposition will be treated as compensation
income (taxable at ordinary income rates) to the extent of the difference
between the Exercise Price and the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of exercise, or (ii) the sale price of the Shares. Different
rules may apply if the Shares are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture
(within the meaning of Section 83) at the time of purchase. Any additional gain
will be taxed as capital gain, short-term depending on the period that the ISO
Shares were held.
(e) Notice of Disqualifying Disposition of ISO Shares. If the
-------------------------------------------------
Option granted to Optionee herein is an ISO, and if Optionee sells or otherwise
disposes of any of the Shares acquired pursuant to the ISO on or before the
later of (i) the date two years after the Date of Grant, or (ii) the date one
year after the date of exercise, the Optionee shall immediately notify the
Company in writing of such disposition. Optionee may be subject to income tax
withholding by the Company on the compensation income recognized by the
Optionee. _Optionee agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Company (or
the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction
of all Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding
requirements applicable to the Option exercise. Optionee acknowledges and agrees
that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares
if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise.
(f) Section 83(b) Election for Unvested Shares Purchased
----------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Options. With respect to the exercise of an Option for unvested
-------------------
Shares, an election may be filed by the Optionee with the Internal Revenue
Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to
--------------
Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference between the
purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of
purchase. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, this will result in a
recognition of taxable income to the Optionee on the date of exercise, measured
by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the time the
Option is exercised over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent such an
election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Optionee at the time
or times on which the Company's Repurchase Option lapses. In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, such an election will result in a recognition of income
to the Optionee for alternative minimum tax purposes on the date of exercise,
measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the
time the option is exercised, over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent
such an election, alternative minimum taxable income will be measured and
recognized by Optionee at the time or times on which the Company's Repurchase
Option lapses. Optionee is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her
own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the
advisability of filing of the Election under Section 83(b) of the Code. A form
of Election under Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference.
-----------
OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS OPTIONEE'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND
NOT THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b),
-5-
EVEN IF OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING
ON OPTIONEE'S BEHALF.
10. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. The Plan is incorporated herein
-------------------------------
by reference. The Plan and this Option Agreement constitute the entire agreement
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their
entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the
Optionee's interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and
Optionee. This Option Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws but
not the choice of law rules of California. In the event that any provision
hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
illegal, unenforceable or void, this Option Agreement will continue in full
force and effect.
11. No Guarantee of Continued Service. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND
---------------------------------
AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS
EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (NOT
THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES
HEREUNDER). OPTIONEE FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO
NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED ENGAGEMENT AS A
SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND SHALL
NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH OPTIONEE'S RIGHT OR THE COMPANY'S RIGHT TO
TERMINATE OPTIONEE'S RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR
WITHOUT CAUSE.
Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and represents that
he or she is familiar with the terms and provisions thereof, and hereby accepts
this Option subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof. Optionee has
reviewed the Plan and this Option in their entirety, has had an opportunity to
obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Option and fully
understands all provisions of the Option. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as
binding, conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the
Administrator upon any questions arising under the Plan or this Option. Optionee
further agrees to notify the Company upon any change in the residence address
indicated below.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT
OPTIONEE : ((Name))
COMPANY : OCCAM NETWORKS INC.
SECURITY : COMMON STOCK
AMOUNT :
DATE :
In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned
Optionee represents to the Company the following:
(a) Optionee is aware of the Company's business affairs and financial
condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an
informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. Optionee is
acquiring these Securities for investment for Optionee's own account only and
not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof
within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act").
(b) Optionee acknowledges and understands that the Securities constitute
"restricted securities" under the Securities Act and have not been registered
under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which
exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Optionee's
investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, Optionee understands
that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory basis
for such exemption may be unavailable if Optionee's representation was
predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the
minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale,
for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or
for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future. Optionee
further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless they
are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. Optionee further acknowledges and understands that
the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities. Optionee
understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted
with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless they are
registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel
satisfactory to the Company, a legend prohibiting their transfer without the
consent of the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California and any
other legend required under applicable state securities laws.
(c) Optionee is familiar with the provisions of Rule 701 and Rule 144,
each promulgated under the Securities Act, which, in substance, permit limited
public resale of "restricted securities"
acquired, directly or indirectly from the issuer thereof, in a non-public
offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Rule 701 provides
that if the issuer qualifies under Rule 701 at the time of the grant of the
Option to the Optionee, the exercise will be exempt from registration under the
Securities Act. In the event the Company becomes subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 90
days thereafter (or such longer period as any market stand-off agreement may
require) the Securities exempt under Rule 701 may be resold, subject to the
satisfaction of certain of the conditions specified by Rule 144, including: (1)
the resale being made through a broker in an unsolicited "broker's transaction"
or in transactions directly with a market maker (as said term is defined under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934); and, in the case of an affiliate, (2) the
availability of certain public information about the Company, (3) the amount of
Securities being sold during any three month period not exceeding the
limitations specified in Rule 144(e), and (4) the timely filing of a Form 144,
if applicable.
In the event that the Company does not qualify under Rule 701 at the time
of grant of the Option, then the Securities may be resold in certain limited
circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires the resale
to occur not less than one year after the later of the date the Securities were
sold by the Company or the date the Securities were sold by an affiliate of the
Company, within the meaning of Rule 144; and, in the case of acquisition of the
Securities by an affiliate, or by a non-affiliate who subsequently holds the
Securities less than one year, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
sections (1), (2), (3) and (4) of the paragraph immediately above.
(d) Optionee further understands that in the event all of the applicable
requirements of Rule 701 or 144 are not satisfied, registration under the
Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration
exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rules 144
and 701 are not exclusive, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission
has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement
securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to
Rules 144 or 701 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an
exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such
persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so
at their own risk. Optionee understands that no assurances can be given that any
such other registration exemption will be available in such event.

OCCAM NETWORKS INC.
1999 STOCK PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made between ((Name)) (the "Purchaser") and Occam
Networks Inc. (the "Company") as of __________________, _____.
RECITALS
--------
(1) Pursuant to the exercise of the stock option ((Grant_No)) granted to
Purchaser under the Company's 1999 Stock Plan (the "Plan") and pursuant to the
Stock Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") dated ((Grant_Date)) by and
between the Company and Purchaser with respect to such grant, which Plan and
Option Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference, Purchaser has elected to
purchase _________ of those shares which have not become vested under the
vesting schedule set forth in the Option Agreement ("Unvested Shares"). The
Unvested Shares and the shares subject to the Option Agreement which have become
vested are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Shares".
(2) As required by the Option Agreement, as a condition to Purchaser's
election to exercise the option, Purchaser must execute this Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement, which sets forth the rights and obligations of the parties
with respect to Shares acquired upon exercise of the Option.
1. Repurchase Option.
-----------------
(a) If Purchaser's status as a Service Provider is terminated for any
reason, including for cause, death, and disability, the Company shall have the
right and option to purchase from Purchaser, or Purchaser's personal
representative, as the case may be, all of the Purchaser's Unvested Shares as of
the date of such termination at the price paid by the Purchaser for such Shares
(the "Repurchase Option").
(b) Upon the occurrence of a termination, the Company may exercise
its Repurchase Option by delivering personally or by registered mail, to
Purchaser (or his transferee or legal representative, as the case may be),
within 90 days of the termination, a notice in writing indicating the Company's
intention to exercise the Repurchase Option and setting forth a date for closing
not later than 30 days from the mailing of such notice. The closing shall take
place at the Company's office. At the closing, the holder of the certificates
for the Unvested Shares being transferred shall deliver the stock certificate or
certificates evidencing the Unvested Shares, and the Company shall deliver the
purchase price therefor.
(c) At its option, the Company may elect to make payment for the
Unvested Shares to a bank selected by the Company. The Company shall avail
itself of this option by a notice in writing to Purchaser stating the name and
address of the bank, date of closing, and waiving the closing at the Company's
office.
(d) If the Company does not elect to exercise the Repurchase Option
conferred above by giving the requisite notice within 90 days following the
termination, the Repurchase Option shall terminate.
(e) The Repurchase Option shall terminate in accordance with the
Vesting Schedule in Optionee's Option Agreement.
2. Transferability of the Shares; Escrow.
-------------------------------------
(a) Purchaser hereby authorizes and directs the secretary of the
Company, or such other person designated by the Company, to transfer the
Unvested Shares as to which the Repurchase Option has been exercised from
Purchaser to the Company.
(b) To insure the availability for delivery of Purchaser's Unvested
Shares upon repurchase by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option under
Section 1, Purchaser hereby appoints the secretary, or any other person
designated by the Company as escrow agent, as its attorney-in-fact to sell,
assign and transfer unto the Company, such Unvested Shares, if any, repurchased
by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option and shall, upon execution of
this Agreement, deliver and deposit with the secretary of the Company, or such
other person designated by the Company, the share certificates representing the
Unvested Shares, together with the stock assignment duly endorsed in blank,
attached hereto as Exhibit C-2. The Unvested Shares and stock assignment shall
-----------
be held by the secretary in escrow, pursuant to the Joint Escrow Instructions of
the Company and Purchaser attached as Exhibit C-3 hereto, until the Company
-----------
exercises its purchase right as provided in Section 1, until such Unvested
Shares are vested, or until such time as this Agreement no longer is in effect.
As a further condition to the Company's obligations under this Agreement, the
spouse of the Purchaser, if any, shall execute and deliver to the Company the
Consent of Spouse attached hereto as Exhibit C-4. Upon vesting of the Unvested
-----------
Shares, the escrow agent shall promptly deliver to the Purchaser the certificate
or certificates representing such Shares in the escrow agent's possession
belonging to the Purchaser, and the escrow agent shall be discharged of all
further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the escrow agent shall
nevertheless retain such certificate or certificates as escrow agent if so
required pursuant to other restrictions imposed pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) The Company, or its designee, shall not be liable for any act it
may do or omit to do with respect to holding the Shares in escrow and while
acting in good faith and in the exercise of its judgment.
(d) Transfer or sale of the Shares is subject to restrictions on
transfer imposed by any applicable state and federal securities laws. Any
transferee shall hold such Shares subject to all the provisions hereof and the
Exercise Notice executed by the Purchaser with respect to any
-2-
Unvested Shares purchased by Purchaser and shall acknowledge the same by signing
a copy of this Agreement.
3. Ownership, Voting Rights, Duties. This Agreement shall not affect in
--------------------------------
any way the ownership, voting rights or other rights or duties of Purchaser,
except as specifically provided herein.
4. Legends. The share certificate evidencing the Shares issued hereunder
-------
shall be endorsed with the following legend (in addition to any legend required
under applicable state securities laws):
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER AND RIGHTS OF REPURCHASE AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE STOCKHOLDER, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE
SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.
5. Adjustment for Stock Split. All references to the number of Shares and
--------------------------
the purchase price of the Shares in this Agreement shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect any stock split, stock dividend or other change in the
Shares which may be made by the Company after the date of this Agreement.
6. Notices. Notices required hereunder shall be given in person or by
-------
registered mail to the address of Purchaser shown on the records of the Company,
and to the Company at their respective principal executive offices.
7. Survival of Terms. This Agreement shall apply to and bind Purchaser
-----------------
and the Company and their respective permitted assignees and transferees, heirs,
legatees, executors, administrators and legal successors.
8. Section 83(b) Election. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that he or she
----------------------
has been informed that, with respect to the exercise of an Option for unvested
Shares, an election may be filed by the Purchaser with the Internal Revenue
Service, within 30 days of the purchase of the Shares, electing pursuant to
--------------
Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed currently on any difference between the
purchase price of the Shares and their Fair Market Value on the date of
purchase. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, this will result in a
recognition of taxable income to the Purchaser on the date of exercise, measured
by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the time the
Option is exercised over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent such an
election, taxable income will be measured and recognized by Purchaser at the
time or times on which the Company's Repurchase Option lapses. In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, such an election will result in a recognition of income
to the Purchaser for alternative minimum tax purposes on the date of exercise,
measured by the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Shares, at the
time the option is exercised, over the purchase price for the Shares. Absent
such an election, alternative minimum taxable income will be measured and
recognized by Purchaser at the time or times on which the Company's Repurchase
Option lapses. Purchaser is strongly encouraged to seek the advice of his or her
own tax consultants in connection with the purchase of the Shares and the
advisability of filing
-3-
of the Election under Section 83(b) of the Code. A form of Election under
Section 83(b) is attached hereto as Exhibit C-5 for reference.
-----------
PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS PURCHASER'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY AND NOT
THE COMPANY'S TO FILE TIMELY THE ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF PURCHASER
REQUESTS THE COMPANY OR ITS REPRESENTATIVE TO MAKE THIS FILING ON PURCHASER'S
BEHALF.
9. Representations. Purchaser has reviewed with his own tax advisors the
---------------
federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser is relying solely on such
advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of
its agents. Purchaser understands that he (and not the Company) shall be
responsible for his own tax liability that may arise as a result of this
investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the internal
-------------
substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of California.
Purchaser represents that he has read this Agreement and is familiar with
its terms and provisions. Purchaser hereby agrees to accept as binding,
conclusive and final all decisions or interpretations of the Board upon any
questions arising under this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is deemed made as of the date first set
forth above.
