This option may not be exercised at any time after the tenth anniversary date.

(c) Except as provided in Section 3(f) below, if the Participant’s [director of] [employment with] with the Company [or one of its subsidiaries] terminates for any reason, other than retirement, change of control, total disability or death, this option shall immediately terminate; provided, however, that any portion of this option which was otherwise exercisable on the date of such termination of [directorship] [employment] may be exercised within the three-month period following the date of termination, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such three-month period, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of his or her death shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees for the remainder of such three-month period. (d) If the Participant dies while [a director] [an employee or otherwise in the service of the Company or any subsidiary] of the Company, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of death shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees until the tenth anniversary date. (e) In the event the Participant’s [services as a director of] [employment with] the Company [or one of its subsidiaries] terminates by reason of the Participant’s (i) retirement or (ii) total disability, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of such termination shall be exercisable by the Participant at any time prior to the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies before the tenth anniversary date, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees until the tenth anniversary date, to the same extent that the Participant could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death.

(f) In the event of the Participant’s voluntary termination of [membership on the Board of Directors] [employment with the Company or any subsidiary] of the Company, other than as a result of retirement or total disability, the Board of Directors may, by giving written notice to the Participant, provide that any portion of this option that was otherwise exercisable on the date of termination of the Participant’s [directorship] [employment] may be exercised within a one year period following the date on which the Participant ceased to be [a director] [so employed] as set forth in written notice to the Participant, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such period, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees, to the same extent that the Participant could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. This option or any unexercised portion hereof shall terminate unless so exercised prior to the expiration of ten years from the date of its grant. [Employees only — In the event that a Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or a Company subsidiary, incurring a termination of employment, and immediately is engaged by the Company or a Company subsidiary as a consultant, any portion of this option that was not exercisable by the Participant on the date of such termination shall immediately terminate on the date of the termination of employment and any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of such termination shall remain exercisable until the date determined under Section 3(c), (d), (e) or (g) hereof, as if the Participant did not incur a termination of employment until the Participant ceases to be a consultant.] (g) [Employee only — In the event the Participant’s employment with the Company or one of the Company’s subsidiaries terminates by reason of a change of control, any portion of this option that was exercisable by the Participant on the date of such change of control shall be exercisable by the Participant at any time until the date one year after such change of control, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such one-year period, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees for the remainder of the one-year period, to the same extent that the Participant could have exercised this option on the date of his or her death. The Participant’s employment will have terminated by reason of the change of control if (i) the Participant continues to be engaged as an employee or consultant with a Company subsidiary after the Company ceases to have effective voting control of such subsidiary, or (ii) the Participant ceases to be employed or engaged as a consultant by the Company or a Company subsidiary in connection with the sale or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the assets of a component of the Company or a Company subsidiary, whether such component is a subsidiary, unit, work location, line of business or otherwise. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether a Participant’s termination of employment is by reason of a change of control.] [Director only — In the event of a change in control of the Company, and the Participant is removed as a director of the Company in connection with the change in control, any portion of this option that was otherwise exercisable on the date of the Participant’s removal shall be exercisable by the Participant at any time until the first anniversary of such change in control, but in no event after the tenth anniversary date. If the Participant dies during such one-year period, this option shall be exercisable by the Participant’s personal representatives, heirs or legatees for the remainder of the one-year period or the tenth anniversary date, if earlier. For purposes of this Section 3(g), a “change in control” of the Company shall be deemed to have taken place if: (i) a third person, including a “person” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of the directors of the Company; or (ii) as the result of, or in connection with, any tender or exchange offer, merger, consolidation or other business combination, sale of assets or one or more contested elections, or any combination of the foregoing transactions (a “Transaction”) the persons who were directors of the Company immediately prior to the Transaction shall cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company or of any successor to the Company.] (h) For purposes of this Agreement, the Participant shall be deemed to have a terminated employment or incurred a termination of employment upon (i) the date the Participant ceases to be employed by, or to provide consulting services for, the Company, any Company subsidiary, or any corporation (or any of its subsidiaries) which assumes the Participant’s award in a transaction to which section 424(a) of the Code applies; or (ii) the date the Participant ceases to be a Board member, provided, however, that if the Participant (x), at the time of reference, is both an employee or consultant and a Board member, or (y) ceases to be engaged as an employee, consultant or Board member and immediately is engaged in another of such relationships with the Company or any Company subsidiary (other than an employee who becomes a consultant), the Participant shall not be deemed to have a “termination of employment” until the last of the dates determined pursuant to subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above. The Committee, in its discretion, may determine whether any leave of absence constitutes a termination of employment for purposes of this Agreement and the impact, if any, of any such leave of absence on this option.
Exercise of Nonqualified Stock Option If the Option does not ------------------------------------- qualify as an ISO, there may be a regular federal and California income tax liability upon the exercise of the Option. Participant 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 Participant is a current or former employee of the Company, the Company may be required to withhold from Participant's compensation or collect from Participant and pay to the applicable taxing authorities an amount equal to a percentage of this compensation income at the time of exercise.
