contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or

the economic consequences of ownership of any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company
held by Participant (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 one hundred and eighty (180) days following the effective date of any registration statement
of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such other period as may be requested by the
Company or the
-7-
underwriters to accommodate regulatory restrictions on (i) the publication or other
distribution of research reports and (ii) analyst recommendations and opinions, including, but not
limited to, the restrictions contained in NASD Rule 2711(f)(4) or NYSE Rule 472(f)(4), or any
successor provisions or amendments thereto).
Participant 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, Participant shall provide,
within ten (10) 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 13 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
said one hundred and eighty (180) day (or other) period. Participant agrees that any transferee of
the Option or shares acquired pursuant to the Option shall be bound by this Section 13.
14. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority
from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s 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. Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company hereunder shall be in writing and
shall be addressed to the Company at its then current principal executive office or to such other
address as the Company may hereafter designate to Participant by notice as provided in this
Section. Any notice to be given to Participant hereunder shall be addressed to Participant at the
address set forth beneath his signature hereto, or at such other address as Participant may
hereafter designate to the Company by notice as provided herein. A notice shall be deemed to have
been duly given when personally delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail to the party
entitled to receive it.
16. Tax Obligations.
(a) Tax Withholding. Participant agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the
Company (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Participant) for the satisfaction of
all Federal, state, local and foreign income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable
to the Option exercise. Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor
the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the
time of exercise. The Board, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may
specify from time to time, may allow Participant to satisfy such withholding tax obligations by
electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of the Option that
number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount statutorily required to be
withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that
the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by Participant to have Shares
withheld for
-8-
this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Board may
deem necessary or advisable.
(b) Code Section 409A. Under Code Section 409A, an Option that vests after
December 31, 2004 (or that vested on or prior to such date but which was materially modified after
October 3, 2004) that was granted with a per Share exercise price that is determined by the
Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) to be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date
of grant (a “discount option”) may be considered “deferred compensation.” An Option that is a
“discount option” may result in (i) income recognition by Participant prior to the exercise of the
Option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and
interest charges. The “discount option” may also result in additional state income, penalty and
interest tax to the Participant. Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not
guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this Option equals or
exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant in a later examination. Participant
agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that
was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, Participant shall be solely
responsible for Participant’s costs related to such a determination.
17. Severability. In the event that any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect.
18. Entire Agreement; Governing Law. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in their entirety all prior
undertakings and agreements of the Company and Participant with respect to the subject matter
hereof, and may not be modified adversely to Participant’s interest except by means of a writing
signed by the Company and Participant. This Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws
but not the choice of law rules of Texas.
19. No Guarantee of Continued Service. PARTICIPANT 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 (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING
PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES
HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT 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 PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE
COMPANY (OR THE PARENT OR SUBSIDIARY EMPLOYING OR RETAINING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S
RELATIONSHIP AS A SERVICE PROVIDER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.

with respect to the Shares subject to the Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The

exercised in accordance with the Option Agreement. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or
other right for which the record date is prior to the date of issuance except as provided in

5. Company’s Right of First Refusal. Before any Shares held by Participant or any
transferee (either being sometimes referred to herein as the “Holder”) may be sold or otherwise
transferred (including transfer by gift or operation of law), the Company or its assignee(s) shall
have a right of first refusal to purchase the Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 5 (the “Right of First Refusal”).
(a) Notice of Proposed Transfer. The Holder of the Shares shall deliver to the
Company a written notice (the “Notice”) stating: (i) the Holder’s bona fide intention to sell or
otherwise transfer such Shares; (ii) the name of each proposed purchaser or other transferee
(“Proposed Transferee”); (iii) the number of Shares to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee;
and (iv) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer
the Shares (the “Offered Price”), and the Holder shall offer the Shares at the Offered Price to the

(b) Exercise of Right of First Refusal. At any time within thirty (30) days after
receipt of the Notice, the Company and/or its assignee(s) may, by giving written notice to the
Holder, elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares proposed to be transferred to
any one or more of the Proposed Transferees, at the purchase price determined in accordance with
subsection 5(c) below.
(c) Purchase Price. The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Shares purchased by

Company or its assignee(s), in cash (by check), by cancellation of all or a portion of any
outstanding indebtedness of the Holder to the Company (or, in the case of repurchase by an
assignee, to the assignee), or by any combination thereof within thirty (30) days after receipt of
the Notice or in the manner and at the times set forth in the Notice.
(e) Holder’s Right to Transfer. If all of the Shares proposed in the Notice to be

Proposed Transferee at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other
transfer is consummated within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of the Notice, that
any such sale or other transfer is effected in accordance with any applicable securities laws and
that the Proposed Transferee agrees in writing that the provisions of this Section 5 shall continue
to apply to the Shares in the hands of such Proposed Transferee. If the Shares described in the
Notice are not transferred to the Proposed Transferee within such period, a new Notice shall be
given to the Company, and the Company and/or its assignees shall again be offered the Right of
First Refusal before any Shares held by the Holder may be sold or otherwise transferred.

this Section 5 notwithstanding, the transfer of any or all of the Shares during Participant’s
lifetime or on Participant’s death by will or intestacy to Participant’s immediate family or a
trust for the benefit of Participant’s immediate family shall be exempt from the provisions of this
Section 5. “Immediate Family” as used herein shall mean spouse, lineal descendant or antecedent,
father, mother, brother or sister. In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall receive
and hold the Shares so transferred subject to the provisions of this Section 5, and there shall be

In connection with the purchase of the above-listed Securities, the undersigned Participant
represents to the Company the following:
1. Participant 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. Participant is acquiring these Securities for investment for
Participant’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”).
2. Participant 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 Participant’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection,
Participant understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the statutory
basis for such exemption may be unavailable if Participant’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 (1) year or any other fixed period in the future.
Participant 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. Participant further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no
obligation to register the Securities. Participant understands that the certificate evidencing the
Securities shall be imprinted with any legend required under applicable state securities laws.
3. Participant 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 Participant, the exercise shall 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, ninety (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 the applicable
conditions specified by Rule 144, including in the case of affiliates (1) the availability of
certain public information about the Company, (2) the amount of Securities being sold during any
three (3) month period not exceeding specified limitations, (3) the resale being made in an
unsolicited “broker’s transaction”, transactions directly with a “market maker” or “riskless
principal transactions” (as those terms are defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 may require (i) the availability of current public information about
the Company; (ii) the resale to occur more than a specified period after the purchase and full
payment (within the meaning of Rule 144) for the Securities; and (iii) in the case of the sale of
Securities by an affiliate, the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in sections (2), (3) and
(4) of the paragraph immediately above.
4. Participant 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 shall 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 shall 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. Participant understands that no assurances can be given that any such other
registration exemption shall be available in such event.
