</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Plan shall have the same defined
meanings in this Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS the Purchaser named in the Notice of Grant, (the &#147;Purchaser&#148;) is a Service Provider,
and the Purchaser&#146;s continued participation is considered by the Company to be important for the
Company&#146;s continued growth; and
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WHEREAS in order to give the Purchaser an opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the
Company as an incentive for the Purchaser to participate in the affairs of the Company, the
Administrator has granted to the Purchaser a Stock Purchase Right subject to the terms and
conditions of the Plan and the Notice of Grant, which are incorporated herein by reference, and
pursuant to this Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement (the &#147;Agreement&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.&nbsp;<U>Sale of Stock</U>. The Company hereby agrees to sell to the Purchaser and the
Purchaser hereby agrees to purchase shares of the Company&#146;s Common Stock (the &#147;Shares&#148;), at the per
Share purchase price and as otherwise described in the Notice of Grant.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.&nbsp;<U>Payment of Purchase Price</U>. The purchase price for the Shares may be paid by
delivery to the Company at the time of execution of this Agreement of cash, a check, or some
combination thereof.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;<U>Repurchase Option</U>.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;In the event the Purchaser ceases to be a Service Provider for any or no reason (including
death or disability) before all of the Shares are released from the Company&#146;s Repurchase Option
(see Section&nbsp;4), the Company shall, upon the date of such termination (as reasonably fixed and
determined by the Company) have an irrevocable, exclusive option (the &#147;Repurchase Option&#148;) for a
period of sixty (60)&nbsp;days from such date to repurchase up to that number of shares which constitute
the Unreleased Shares (as defined in Section&nbsp;4) at the original purchase price per share (the
&#147;Repurchase Price&#148;). The Repurchase Option shall be exercised by the Company by delivering written
notice to the Purchaser or the Purchaser&#146;s executor (with a copy to the Escrow Holder) AND, at the
Company&#146;s option, (i)&nbsp;by delivering to the Purchaser or the Purchaser&#146;s executor a check in the
amount of the aggregate Repurchase Price, or (ii)&nbsp;by canceling an amount of the Purchaser&#146;s
indebtedness to the Company equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price, or (iii)&nbsp;by a combination of
(i)&nbsp;and (ii)&nbsp;so that the combined payment and cancellation of indebtedness equals the aggregate
Repurchase Price. Upon delivery of such notice and the payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price,
the Company shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares being repurchased and all
rights and interests therein or relating thereto, and the Company shall have the right to retain
and transfer to its own name the number of Shares being repurchased by the Company.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;Whenever the Company shall have the right to repurchase Shares hereunder, the Company may
designate and assign one or more employees, officers, directors or shareholders of the Company or
other persons or organizations to exercise all or a part of the Company&#146;s purchase rights under
this Agreement and purchase all or a part of such Shares.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;Subject to any conditions set forth in the Notice of Grant, all Shares that have not yet
been released from the Repurchase Option shall be released from the Company&#146;s Repurchase Option on
the date on which a Change of Control occurs, provided that the Purchaser does not cease to be a
Service Provider prior to the date of such release. For purposes of this Agreement, &#147;Change of
Control&#148; is defined as: (i)&nbsp;any &#147;person&#148; (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) is or becomes the &#147;beneficial owner&#148; (as defined in
Rule&nbsp;13d-3 under said Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50%
or more of the total voting power represented by the Company&#146;s then outstanding voting securities;
or (ii)&nbsp;a change in the composition of the Board occurring within a two-year period, as a result of
which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors; (iii)&nbsp;the date of the
consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation that has been
approved by the stockholders of the Company, other than a merger or consolidation which would
result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to
represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power represented by the
voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger
or consolidation, or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the
Company; or (iv)&nbsp;the date of the consummation of the sale or disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all the Company&#146;s assets. &#147;Incumbent Directors&#148; will mean directors who either (A)
are directors of the Company as of the date hereof, or (B)&nbsp;are elected, or nominated for election,
to the Board with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the
time of such election or nomination (but will not include an individual whose election or
nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of
directors to the Company).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.&nbsp;<U>Restriction on Transfer</U>. Except for the escrow described in Section&nbsp;6 or the
transfer of the Shares to the Company or its assignees contemplated by this Agreement, none of the
Shares or any beneficial interest therein shall be transferred, encumbered or otherwise disposed of
in any way until such Shares are released from the Company&#146;s Repurchase Option in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;To ensure the availability for delivery of the Purchaser&#146;s Unreleased Shares upon
repurchase by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Option, the Purchaser shall, upon execution of
this Agreement, deliver and deposit with an escrow holder designated by the Company (the &#147;Escrow
Holder&#148;) the share certificates representing the Unreleased Shares, together with the stock
assignment duly endorsed in blank, attached hereto as <U>Exhibit&nbsp;A-2</U>. The Unreleased Shares

vote the Shares and to receive any cash dividends declared thereon. If, from time to time during
the term of the Repurchase Option, there is (i)&nbsp;any stock dividend, stock split or other change in
the Shares, or (ii)&nbsp;any merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets or other
acquisition of the Company, any and all new, substituted or additional securities to which the
Purchaser is entitled by reason of the Purchaser&#146;s ownership of the Shares shall be immediately

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.&nbsp;<U>Tax Consequences</U>. The Purchaser has reviewed with the Purchaser&#146;s own tax advisors
the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of this investment and the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser is relying solely on such advisors and not on any
statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Purchaser understands that
the Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Purchaser&#146;s own tax liability that
may arise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser
understands that Section&nbsp;83 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the &#147;Code&#148;), taxes as
ordinary income the difference between the purchase price for the Shares and the Fair Market Value
of the Shares as of the date any restrictions on the Shares lapse. In this context, &#147;restriction&#148;
includes the right of the Company to buy back the Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Option. The
Purchaser understands that the Purchaser may elect to be taxed at the time the Shares are purchased
rather than when and as the Repurchase Option expires by filing an election under Section 83(b) of
the Code with the IRS within 30&nbsp;days from the date of purchase. The form for making this election
is attached as <U>Exhibit&nbsp;A-4</U> hereto.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws, but not the choice of

Notice of Grant, represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the purchase
of the Shares by the Purchaser. Subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan, in the event of a conflict
between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
terms and conditions of the Plan shall prevail. Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined
in the Plan shall have the same defined meanings in this Agreement.

Purchaser under this Agreement may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;Either party&#146;s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way be
construed as a waiver of any such provision, nor prevent that party from thereafter enforcing any
other provision of this Agreement. The rights granted both parties hereunder are cumulative and
shall not constitute a waiver of either party&#146;s right to assert any other legal remedy available to
it.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)&nbsp;The Purchaser agrees upon request to execute any further documents or instruments
