below, the right and option (the “Option”), subject to the vesting schedule set forth in paragraph

the laws of descent and distribution of the state or country of the Optionee’s domicile at the time
of death. The option shall be exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only by the Optionee.
(d) In the event the Optionee ceases to serve as an employee of the Company or a parent or
subsidiary corporation of the Company for any reason other than as specifically provided herein,
the Option may be exercised by the Optionee at any time prior to the expiration date of the Option
or the three month anniversary of the date the Optionee’s employment or service with the Company
terminates, whichever is the shorter period, but only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled
to exercise the Option on the date of termination. If the Optionee ceases to serve as an employee
because of physical disability preventing the Optionee from performing regular duties, the Option
may be exercised by the Optionee at any time prior to the expiration date of the Option, but only
to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option on the date of termination. If the
Optionee dies while serving as an employee, the option may be exercised at any time prior to the
