Terms of Stock Options
 
The plan administrator determines the exercise price for a stock option, within the terms and conditions of the 2005 Plan and applicable law, provided that the exercise price of an incentive or nonstatutory stock option cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the 2005 Plan vest at the rate specified by the plan administrator.
 
Generally, the plan administrator determines the term of stock options granted under the 2005 Plan, up to a maximum of ten years (except in the case of some incentive stock options, as described below). Unless the terms of an optionee’s stock option agreement provide otherwise, if an optionee’s service relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases for any reason other than disability, death or following a change in control, the optionee may exercise any vested options for a period of three months following the cessation of service. If an optionee’s service relationship with us, or any of our affiliates, ceases due to disability or death (or an optionee dies within a specified period following cessation of service), the optionee or a beneficiary may exercise any vested options for a period of 12 months, in the event of disability, and 18 months, in the event of death. In no event, however, may an option be exercised beyond the expiration of its term.

Acceptable consideration for the purchase of common stock issued upon the exercise of a stock option will be determined by the plan administrator and may include (i) cash or check, (ii) a broker-assisted cashless exercise, (iii) the tender of common stock previously owned by the optionee, (iv) a net exercise of the option, (v) a deferred payment arrangement, and (vi) other legal consideration approved by the plan administrator.
 
Unless the plan administrator provides otherwise, options generally are not transferable except by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a domestic relations order. An optionee may designate a beneficiary, however, who may exercise the option following the optionee’s death.
 
Tax Limitations on Incentive Stock Option Grants.  Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees. The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of shares of our common stock with respect to incentive stock options that are exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year under all of our stock plans may not exceed $100,000. No incentive stock option may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own stock possessing more than 10% of our total combined voting power or that of any of our affiliates unless the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of grant and the term of the incentive stock option does not exceed five years from the date of grant.
