irrevocably grants to the Optionee the Option to purchase any part or all of an aggregate of the

Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Optionee any right to (a) continue in
the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the
rights of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge the
Optionee, if the Optionee is an Employee, or (b) continue to provide services to the Company or any
Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or its
Subsidiaries, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the services of Optionee, if the

ARTICLE II

(a) Subject to Sections 2.3 and 4.8, the Option shall become exercisable in such amounts and
at such times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.

defined below) shall thereafter become exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by the
Committee or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the Optionee.
2.2 Duration of Exercisability. The installments provided for in the vesting schedule

anyone after the first to occur of the following events:

the Company or any Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, with or without cause, including, but

excluding a termination where there is a simultaneous reemployment or continuing employment or
consultancy of the Optionee by the Company or any Subsidiary or a “parent corporation” of the
Company (within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code). The Committee, in its absolute
discretion, shall determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to Termination of
Service for the purposes of this Agreement, and all questions of whether particular leaves of
absence for Optionees who are Employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries constitute
Terminations of Service.
ARTICLE III
EXERCISE OF OPTION
EXERCISE OF OPTION
3.1 Person Eligible to Exercise. Except as provided in Sections 4.2(b) and 4.2(c),
during the lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee may exercise the Option or any portion
thereof. After the death of the Optionee, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the
time when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 2.3, be exercised by the Optionee’s
beneficiary designated in accordance with Section 10.4 of the Plan. If no beneficiary has been
designated or survives the Optionee, the Option may be exercised by the person entitled to such
exercise pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.
3.2 Partial Exercise. Any exercisable portion of the Option or the entire Option, if
then wholly exercisable, may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when
the Option or portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 2.3.
3.3 Manner of Exercise. The Option, or any exercisable portion thereof, may be
exercised solely by delivery to the Secretary of the Company or the Secretary’s office of all of
the following prior to the time when the Option or such portion thereof becomes unexercisable under
Section 2.3:
(a) An exercise notice in writing signed by the Optionee or the other person then entitled to
exercise the Option or portion thereof, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby
exercised, such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Committee. Such
notice shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A (or such other form as is
prescribed by the Committee) (the “Exercise Notice”); and
(b) (i) Full payment (in cash or by check) for the shares with respect to which the
Option or portion thereof is exercised, to the extent permitted under applicable laws; or
(ii) With the consent of the Committee, such payment may be made, in whole or in part,
through the delivery of shares of Stock which have been owned by the Optionee for at least
six months, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company with a Fair Market Value on the date
of delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised portion
thereof; or
(iii) To the extent permitted under applicable laws, through the delivery of a notice
that the Optionee has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of
Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to
pay a sufficient portion of the net
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT PAGE 2
proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price,
provided, that payment of such proceeds is made to the Company upon settlement of such sale;
or
(iv) With the consent of the Committee, any combination of the consideration provided
in the foregoing subparagraphs (i), (ii) and (iii); and
(c) A bona fide written representation and agreement, in such form as is prescribed by the
Committee, signed by the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion
thereof, stating that the shares of Stock are being acquired for the Optionee’s own account, for
investment and without any present intention of distributing or reselling said shares or any of
them except as may be permitted under the Securities Act and then applicable rules and regulations
thereunder, and that the Optionee or other person then entitled to exercise such Option or portion
thereof will indemnify the Company against and hold it free and harmless from any loss, damage,
expense or liability resulting to the Company if any sale or distribution of the shares by such
person is contrary to the representation and agreement referred to above. The Committee may, in
its absolute discretion, take whatever additional actions it deems appropriate to ensure the
observance and performance of such representation and agreement and to effect compliance with the
Securities Act and any other federal or state securities laws or regulations. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Committee may require an opinion of counsel acceptable to it to
the effect that any subsequent transfer of shares acquired on an Option exercise does not violate
the Securities Act, and may issue stop-transfer orders covering such shares. Share certificates
evidencing Stock issued on exercise of the Option shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the
provisions of this subsection (c) and the agreements herein. The written representation and
agreement referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (c) shall, however, not be required
if the shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise have been registered under the Securities Act,
and such registration is then effective in respect of such shares; and
(d) Full payment to the Company (or other employer corporation) of all amounts which, under
federal, state or local tax law, it is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option. With the
consent of the Committee, (i) shares of Stock owned by the Optionee for at least six months duly
endorsed for transfer or (ii) shares of Stock issuable to the Optionee upon exercise of the Option,
having a Fair Market Value at the date of Option exercise equal to the statutory minimum sums
required to be withheld, may be used to make all or part of such payment; and
(e) In the event the Option or portion thereof shall be exercised pursuant to Section 3.1 by
any person or persons other than the Optionee, appropriate proof of the right of such person or
persons to exercise the Option.
3.4 Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates. The shares of Stock deliverable
upon the exercise of the Option, or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but
unissued shares or issued shares which have then been reacquired by the Company. Such shares shall
be fully paid and nonassessable. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any shares
of Stock purchased upon the exercise of the Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all
of the following conditions:
(a) The admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such Stock is then
listed; and
(b) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state
or federal law or under rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or of any
other governmental regulatory body which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem
necessary or advisable; and
(c) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental
agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or
advisable; and
(d) The receipt by the Company of full payment for such shares, including payment of all
amounts which, under federal, state or local tax law, the Company (or other employer corporation)
is required to withhold upon exercise of the Option; and
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT PAGE 3
(e) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the Option as the
Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.
3.5 Rights as Stockholder. The holder of the Option shall not be, nor have any of the
rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of any shares purchasable upon the
exercise of any part of the Option unless and until such shares shall have been issued by the
Company to such holder. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, unless
otherwise determined by the Committee or required by applicable law, rule or regulation, the
Company shall not deliver to the Optionee certificates evidencing shares of Stock issued in
connection with the exercise of this Option and instead such shares of Stock will be recorded in
the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).
ARTICLE IV
OTHER PROVISIONS
OTHER PROVISIONS
4.1 Administration. The Committee shall have the power to interpret the Plan and this
Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the
Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. All actions
taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith shall be final
and binding upon the Optionee, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the
Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good
faith with respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Option.
4.2 Option Not Transferable.
(a) Subject to Section 4.2(b), the Option may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in
any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution unless and until the Option
has been exercised, or the shares underlying such Option have been issued, and all restrictions
applicable to such shares have lapsed. Neither the Option nor any interest or right therein shall
be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Optionee or his or her successors in
interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge,
encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or
by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable
proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void
and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding
sentence.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, with the consent of the Committee,
the Option may be transferred to, exercised by and paid to certain persons or entities related to
the Optionee, including but not limited to members of the Optionee’s family, charitable institutes
or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of the Optionee’s
family or to such other persons or entities as may be expressly approved by the Committee (each a
“Permitted Transferee”), pursuant to such conditions and procedures as the Committee may require.
Any permitted transfer will be subject to the condition that the Committee receive evidence
satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax planning purposes (or to a
“blind trust” in connection with the Optionee’s Termination of Service with the Company or a
Subsidiary to assume a position with a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit
institution) and on a basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of securities.
(c) Unless transferred to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 4.2(b), during the
lifetime of the Optionee, only the Optionee may exercise the Option or any portion thereof.
Subject to such conditions and procedures as the Committee may require, a Permitted Transferee may
exercise the Option or any portion thereof during the Optionee’s lifetime. After the death of the
Optionee, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time when the Option becomes
unexercisable under Section 2.3, be exercised by the Optionee’s beneficiary designated in
accordance with Section 10.4 of the Plan. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the
Optionee, the Option may be exercised by the person entitled to such exercise pursuant to the
Optionee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.
STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT PAGE 4
4.3 Restrictive Legends and Stop-Transfer Orders.
(a) The share certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Stock purchased hereunder
shall be endorsed with any legends that may be required by state or federal securities laws.
(b) The Optionee agrees that, in order to ensure compliance with the restrictions referred to
herein, the Company may issue appropriate “stop transfer” instructions to its transfer agent, if
any, and that, if the Company transfers its own securities, it may make appropriate notations to
the same effect in its own records.
(c) The Company shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any shares of Stock that
have been sold or otherwise transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, or
(ii) to treat as owner of such shares of Stock or to accord the right to vote or pay dividends to
any purchaser or other transferee to whom such shares shall have been so transferred.
4.4 Shares to Be Reserved. The Company shall at all times during the term of the
Option reserve and keep available such number of shares of Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy
the requirements of this Agreement.

shall be addressed to the Company in care of the Secretary of the Company, and any notice to be
given to the Optionee shall be addressed to the Optionee at the address given beneath the
Optionee’s signature on the Grant Notice. By a notice given pursuant to this Section 4.5, either
party may hereafter designate a different address for notices to be given to that party. Any
notice which is required to be given to the Optionee shall, if the Optionee is then deceased, be
given to the Optionee’s designated beneficiary if any, or the person otherwise entitled to exercise
his or her Option pursuant to Section 3.1 by written notice under this Section 4.5. Any notice
shall be deemed duly given when sent via email or when sent by certified mail (return receipt
requested) and deposited in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United
States Postal Service.
4.6 Titles. Titles are provided herein for convenience only and are not to serve as a
basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement.
4.7 Governing Law; Severability. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware excluding that body of law pertaining to
conflicts of law. Should any provision of this Agreement be determined by a court of law to be
illegal or unenforceable, the other provisions shall nevertheless remain effective and shall remain
enforceable.
4.8 Conformity to Securities Laws. The Optionee acknowledges that the Plan is
intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder, and state securities laws and regulations. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the Option is granted and may be exercised,
only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to
conform to such laws, rules and regulations.
4.9 Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated except by
an instrument in writing, signed by the Optionee or such other person as may be permitted to
exercise the Option pursuant to Section 3.1 and by a duly authorized representative of the Company.
4.10 Successors and Assigns. The Company may assign any of its rights under this
Agreement to single or multiple assignees, and this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of the Company. Subject to the restrictions on transfer herein set forth,
