this option may be for any fractional share.
(b) Continuous Relationship with the Company Required. Except as otherwise provided

of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or any parent or subsidiary of the Company as defined
in Section 424(e) or (f) of the Code (an “Eligible Participant”).

Eligible Participant for any reason, then, except as provided in paragraphs (d) and (e) below, the
right to exercise this option shall terminate three months after such cessation (but in no event
after the Final Exercise Date), provided that this option shall be exercisable only

one year following the date of death or disability of the Participant, by the Participant (or in

his or her death or disability, and further provided that this option shall not be exercisable
after the Final Exercise Date.
(e) Termination for Cause. If, prior to the Final Exercise Date, the Participant’s
employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, the right to exercise this option shall
terminate immediately upon the effective date of such termination of employment. If, prior to the
Final Exercise Date, the Participant is given notice by the Company of the termination of his or
her employment by the Company for Cause, and the effective date of such employment termination is
subsequent to the date of delivery of such notice, the right to exercise this option shall be
suspended from the time of the delivery of such notice until the earlier of (i) such time as it is
determined or otherwise agreed that the Participant’s employment shall not be terminated for Cause
as provided in such notice or (ii) the effective date of such termination of employment (in which
case the right to exercise this option shall, pursuant to the preceding sentence, terminate upon
the effective date of such termination of employment).

the Participant.

amendments to the Plan), a copy of which is furnished to the Participant with this option.
