addition thereto, if in any such Transaction as described in Section 7.1 of
the Plan, the Successor Company (or parent or subsidiary of the Successor
Company) does not agree to assume or substitute the Options, the Vesting
Dates shall be accelerated so that any unvested Option shall be immediately
vested in full as of the date which is ten (10) days prior to the effective
date of the Transaction, and the Committee shall notify the Optionee that
the unexercised Options are fully exercisable for a period of ten (10) days
from the date of such notice, and that any unexercised Options shall
terminate upon the expiration of such period.
If the Successor Company (or parent or subsidiary of the Successor Company)
agrees to assume or substitute the Options and Optionee's employment with
the Successor Company is terminated by the Successor Company without
"Cause" within one year of the closing of such Transaction, the Vesting
Dates shall be accelerated so that any unvested portion of the substituted
Option shall be immediately vested in full as of the date of such
termination without Cause.
5. VESTING; PERIOD OF EXERCISE
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, Options shall vest and become
exercisable according to the Vesting Dates set forth IN EXHIBIT B hereto,
provided that the Optionee is an Employee of, or providing services to, the

of an Option in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Plan.
6.2 In order for the Company to issue Shares upon the exercise of any of
the Options, the Optionee hereby agrees to sign any and all documents
required by any applicable law and/or by the Company's incorporation
documents. The Optionee further agrees that in the event that the

discretion, the issuance of Shares may be conditioned upon certain
representations, warranties, and acknowledgments by the Optionee.
