Item 9. Undertakings A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes: (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: (i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act, (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement and (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; (2) that for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933 Act each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Sentient Networks, Inc. 1997 Stock Plan or the Sentient Networks, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan. B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new II-2 4 registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. II-3 5 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8, and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of San Jose, State of California on this 20th day of July, 1999.

ii 4 SENTIENT NETWORKS, INC. 1997 STOCK PLAN SECTION 1. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE. The purpose of the Plan is to offer selected individuals an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the success of the Company, or to increase such interest, by purchasing Shares of the Company's Stock. The Plan provides both for the direct award or sale of Shares and for the grant of Options to purchase Shares. Options granted under the Plan may include Nonstatutory Options as well as ISOs intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code. Capitalized terms are defined in Section 12. SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION. (a) COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Plan may be administered by one or more Committees. Each Committee shall consist of one or more members of the Board of Directors who have been appointed by the Board of Directors. Each Committee shall have such authority and be responsible for such functions as the Board of Directors has assigned to it. If no Committee has been appointed, the entire Board of Directors shall administer the Plan. Any reference to the Board of Directors in the Plan shall be construed as a reference to the Committee (if any) to whom the Board of Directors has assigned a particular function. (b) AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board of Directors shall have full authority and discretion to take any actions it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. All decisions, interpretations and other actions of the Board of Directors shall be final and binding on all Purchasers, all Optionees and all persons deriving their rights from a Purchaser or Optionee. SECTION 3. ELIGIBILITY. (a) GENERAL RULE. Only Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants shall be eligible for the grant of Options or the direct award or sale of Shares. Only Employees shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. (b) TEN-PERCENT STOCKHOLDERS. An individual who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, its Parent or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for designation as an Optionee or Purchaser unless (i) the Exercise Price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, (ii) the Purchase Price (if any) is at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share and (iii) in the case of an ISO, such ISO by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. For purposes of this Subsection (b), in determining stock ownership, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall be applied. 1 5 SECTION 4. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. (a) BASIC LIMITATION. Shares offered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan (upon exercise of Options or other rights to acquire Shares) shall not exceed 3,723,643 Shares, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8. The number of Shares that are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares that then remain available for issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. (b) ADDITIONAL SHARES. In the event that any outstanding Option or other right for any reason expires or is canceled or otherwise terminated, the Shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or other right shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan. In the event that Shares issued under the Plan are reacquired by the Company pursuant to any forfeiture provision, right of repurchase or right of first refusal, such Shares shall again be available for the purposes of the Plan, except that the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs shall in no event exceed 3,723,643 Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8). SECTION 5. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES. (a) STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT. Each award or sale of Shares under the Plan (other than upon exercise of an Option) shall be evidenced by a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Purchaser and the Company. Such award or sale shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Purchase Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Purchase Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. (b) DURATION OF OFFERS AND NONTRANSFERABILITY OF RIGHTS. Any right to acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically expire if not exercised by the Purchaser within 30 days after the grant of such right was communicated to the Purchaser by the Company. Such right shall not be transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Purchaser to whom such right was granted. (c) PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price of Shares to be offered under the Plan shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares, and a higher percentage may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Purchase Price shall be determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion. The Purchase Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 7. (d) WITHHOLDING TAXES. As a condition to the purchase of Shares, the Purchaser shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any 2 6 federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such purchase. (e) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES AND MINIMUM VESTING. Any Shares awarded or sold under the Plan shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally. Any right to repurchase a Purchaser's Shares at the original Purchase Price (if any) upon termination of the Purchaser's Service shall lapse at least as rapidly as the following schedule:
Anniversary of Date Percentage of of Sale or Award Shares Vested ---------------- ------------- First 20% Second 40% Third 60% Fourth 80% Fifth 100%
Any such repurchase right may be exercised only within 90 days after the termination of the Purchaser's Service for cash or for cancellation of indebtedness incurred in purchasing the Shares. (f) ACCELERATED VESTING. Unless the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement provides otherwise, any right to repurchase a Purchaser's Shares at the original Purchase Price (if any) upon termination of the Purchaser's Service shall lapse and all of such Shares shall become vested if (i) the Company is subject to a Change in Control and (ii) the repurchase right is not assigned to the entity that employs the Purchaser immediately after the Change in Control or to its parent or subsidiary. SECTION 6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. (a) STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Board of Directors deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. (b) NUMBER OF SHARES. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 8. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify whether the Option is an ISO or a Nonstatutory Option. 3 7 (c) EXERCISE PRICE. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and a higher percentage may be required by Section 3(b). The Exercise Price of a Nonstatutory Option shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, and a higher percentage may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding two sentences, the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in a form described in Section 7. (d) WITHHOLDING TAXES. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such arrangements as the Board of Directors may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option. (e) EXERCISABILITY. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. An Option shall become exercisable at least as rapidly as set forth in the following schedule:

Unless the applicable Stock Option Agreement provides otherwise, all of an Optionee's Options shall become exercisable in full if (i) the Company is subject to a Change in Control, (ii) such Options do not remain outstanding, (iii) such Options are not assumed by the surviving corporation or its parent and (iv) the surviving corporation or its parent does not substitute options with substantially the same terms for such Options. (g) BASIC TERM. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify the term of the Option. The term shall not exceed 10 years from the date of grant, and a shorter term may be required by Section 3(b). Subject to the preceding sentence, the Board of Directors at its sole discretion shall determine when an Option is to expire. (h) NONTRANSFERABILITY. No Option shall be transferable by the Optionee other than by beneficiary designation, will or the laws of descent and distribution. An Option may be 4 8 exercised during the lifetime of the Optionee only by the Optionee or by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative. No Option or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Optionee during the Optionee's lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. (i) TERMINATION OF SERVICE (EXCEPT BY DEATH).

The Optionee may exercise all or part of the Optionee's Options at any time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee's Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee's Service terminated (or vested as a result of the termination). The balance of such Options shall lapse when the Optionee's Service terminates. In the event that the Optionee dies after the termination of the Optionee's Service but before the expiration of the Optionee's Options, all or part of such Options may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or by any person who has acquired such Options directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that such Options had become exercisable before the Optionee's Service terminated (or became exercisable as a result of the termination) and the underlying Shares had vested before the Optionee's Service terminated (or vested as a result of the termination). (j) LEAVES OF ABSENCE. For purposes of Subsection (i) above, Service shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service for this purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company).

The balance of such Options shall lapse when the Optionee dies. (l) NO RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Optionee's Option until such person becomes entitled to receive such Shares by filing a notice of exercise and paying the Exercise Price pursuant to the terms of such Option. (m) MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND ASSUMPTION OF OPTIONS. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Board of Directors may modify, extend or assume outstanding Options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (whether granted by the Company or another issuer) in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair the Optionee's rights or increase the Optionee's obligations under such Option. (n) RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES AND MINIMUM VESTING. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Board of Directors may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any restrictions that may apply to holders of Shares generally. Any right to repurchase an Optionee's Shares at the original Exercise Price upon termination of the Optionee's Service shall lapse at least as rapidly as the schedule set forth in Subsection (e) above. Any such repurchase right may be exercised only within 90 days after the termination of the Optionee's Service for cash or for cancellation of indebtedness incurred in purchasing the Shares. (o) ACCELERATED VESTING. Unless the applicable Stock Option Agreement provides otherwise, any right to repurchase an Optionee's Shares at the original Exercise Price upon termination of the Optionee's Service shall lapse and all of such Shares shall become vested if (i) the Company is subject to a Change in Control and (ii) the repurchase right is not assigned to the entity that employs the Optionee immediately after the Change in Control or to its parent or subsidiary. SECTION 7. PAYMENT FOR SHARES. (a) GENERAL RULE. The entire Purchase Price or Exercise Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7. 6 10 (b) SURRENDER OF STOCK. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part with Shares owned by the Optionee or the Optionee's representative. Such Shares shall be surrendered to the Company in good form for transfer and shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the Option is exercised. This Subsection (b) shall not apply to the extent that acceptance of Shares in payment of the Exercise Price would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes. (c) SERVICES RENDERED. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary prior to the award. (d) PROMISSORY NOTE. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement so provides, all or a portion of the Exercise Price or Purchase Price (as the case may be) of Shares issued under the Plan may be paid with a full-recourse promissory note. The par value of the Shares, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents. The Shares shall be pledged as security for payment of the principal amount of the promissory note and interest thereon. The interest rate payable under the terms of the promissory note shall not be less than the minimum rate (if any) required to avoid the imputation of additional interest under the Code. Subject to the foregoing, the Board of Directors (at its sole discretion) shall specify the term, interest rate, amortization requirements (if any) and other provisions of such note. (e) EXERCISE/SALE. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, and if Stock is publicly traded, payment may be made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes. (f) EXERCISE/PLEDGE. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, and if Stock is publicly traded, payment may be made all or in part by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to pledge Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of all or part of the Exercise Price and any withholding taxes. SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. (a) GENERAL. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the Fair Market Value of the Stock, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off, a reclassification or a similar occurrence, the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments in one or more of (i) the number of Shares available for future 7 11 grants under Section 4, (ii) the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option or (iii) the Exercise Price under each outstanding Option. (b) MERGERS AND CONSOLIDATIONS. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation, outstanding Options shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation. Such agreement, without the Optionees' consent, may provide for: (i) The continuation of such outstanding Options by the Company (if the Company is the surviving corporation); (ii) The assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Options by the surviving corporation or its parent; (iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of options with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Options; or (iv) The cancellation of such outstanding Options without payment of any consideration.

Any issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. SECTION 9. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS. (a) GENERAL. Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares comply with (or are exempt from) all applicable requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations, and the regulations of any stock exchange or other securities market on which the Company's securities may then be traded. (b) FINANCIAL REPORTS. The Company each year shall furnish to Optionees, Purchasers and stockholders who have received Stock under the Plan its balance sheet and income statement, unless such Optionees, Purchasers or stockholders are key Employees whose duties with the Company assure them access to equivalent information. Such balance sheet and income statement need not be audited. 8 12 SECTION 10. NO RETENTION RIGHTS. Nothing in the Plan or in any right or Option granted under the Plan shall confer upon the Purchaser or Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Purchaser or Optionee) or of the Purchaser or Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. SECTION 11. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS. (a) TERM OF THE PLAN. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall become effective on the date of its adoption by the Board of Directors, subject to the approval of the Company's stockholders.

(a) SCOPE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT. All Purchased Shares initially shall be Restricted Shares and shall be subject to a right (but not an obligation) of repurchase by the Company. The Purchaser shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Shares, except as provided in the following sentence. The Purchaser may transfer Restricted Shares (i) by beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) to the Purchaser's spouse, children or grandchildren or to a trust established by the Purchaser for the benefit of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's spouse, children or grandchildren, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Purchaser transfers any Restricted Shares, then this Section 2 shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Purchaser. (b) CONDITION PRECEDENT TO EXERCISE. The Right of Repurchase shall be exercisable only during the 60-day period next following the date when the Purchaser's Service terminates for any reason, with or without cause, including (without limitation) death or disability. (c) LAPSE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to the Purchased Shares in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Summary of Stock Purchase. The Right of Repurchase shall lapse and all of the remaining Restricted 2 Shares shall become vested if (i) the Company is subject to a Change in Control and (ii) the Right of Repurchase is not assigned to the entity that employs the Purchaser immediately after the Change in Control or to its parent or subsidiary. (d) REPURCHASE COST. If the Company exercises the Right of Repurchase, it shall pay the Purchaser an amount equal to the Purchase Price for each of the Restricted Shares being repurchased. (e) EXERCISE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Right of Repurchase shall be exercisable only by written notice delivered to the Purchaser prior to the expiration of the 60-day period specified in Subsection (b) above. The notice shall set forth the date on which the repurchase is to be effected. Such date shall not be more than 30 days after the date of the notice. The certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares to be repurchased shall, prior to the close of business on the date specified for the repurchase, be delivered to the Company properly endorsed for transfer. The Company shall, concurrently with the receipt of such certificate(s), pay to the Purchaser the purchase price determined according to Subsection (d) above. Payment shall be made in cash or cash equivalents or by canceling indebtedness to the Company incurred by the Purchaser in the purchase of the Restricted Shares. The Right of Repurchase shall terminate with respect to any Restricted Shares for which it has not been timely exercised pursuant to this Subsection (e). (f) ADDITIONAL SHARES OR SUBSTITUTED SECURITIES. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Restricted Shares or into which such Restricted Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to the Right of Repurchase. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Shares. Appropriate adjustments shall also, after each such transaction, be made to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase in order to reflect any change in the Company's outstanding securities effected without receipt of consideration therefor; provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price payable for the Restricted Shares shall remain the same. (g) TERMINATION OF RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Restricted Shares to be repurchased in accordance with this Section 2, then after such time the person from whom such Restricted Shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Restricted Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have been repurchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement. 2 3 (h) ESCROW. Upon issuance, the certificates for Restricted Shares shall be deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property described in Subsection (f) above shall immediately be delivered to the Company to be held in escrow, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time Restricted Shares. All regular cash dividends on Restricted Shares (or other securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Purchaser and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Shares, together with any other assets or securities held in escrow hereunder, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase and cancellation upon the Company's exercise of its Right of Repurchase or Right of First Refusal or (ii) released to the Purchaser upon the Purchaser's request to the extent the Purchased Shares are no longer Restricted Shares (but not more frequently than once every six months). In any event, all Purchased Shares which have vested (and any other vested assets and securities attributable thereto) shall be released within 60 days after the earlier of (i) the Purchaser's cessation of Service or (ii) the lapse of the Right of First Refusal. SECTION 3. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. (a) RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. In the event that the Purchaser proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Purchased Shares, or any interest in such Purchased Shares, the Company shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such Purchased Shares. If the Purchaser desires to transfer Purchased Shares, the Purchaser shall give a written Transfer Notice to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Purchased Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and proof satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Purchaser and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Purchased Shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Purchased Shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b) below) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. The Company's rights under this Subsection (a) shall be freely assignable, in whole or in part. (b) TRANSFER OF SHARES. If the Company fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when it received the Transfer Notice, the Purchaser may, not later than 90 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, conclude a transfer of the Purchased Shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided that any such sale is made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and not in violation of any other contractual restrictions to which the Purchaser is bound. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Purchaser, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in Subsection (a) above. If the Company exercises its 3 4 Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the Purchased Shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within 60 days after the date when the Company received the Transfer Notice (or within such longer period as may have been specified in the Transfer Notice); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provided that payment for the Purchased Shares was to be made in a form other than cash or cash equivalents paid at the time of transfer, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Purchased Shares with cash or cash equivalents equal to the present value of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice. (c) ADDITIONAL SHARES OR SUBSTITUTED SECURITIES. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Purchased Shares subject to this Section 3 or into which such Purchased Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 3. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of Purchased Shares subject to this Section 3. (d) TERMINATION OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Any other provision of this Section 3 notwithstanding, in the event that the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Purchaser desires to transfer Purchased Shares, the Company shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Purchaser shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by Subsections (a) and (b) above. (e) PERMITTED TRANSFERS. This Section 3 shall not apply to (i) a transfer by beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) a transfer to the Purchaser's spouse, children or grandchildren or to a trust established by the Purchaser for the benefit of the Purchaser or the Purchaser's spouse, children or grandchildren, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Purchaser transfers any Purchased Shares, either under this Subsection (e) or after the Company has failed to exercise the Right of First Refusal, then this Section 3 shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Purchaser. (f) TERMINATION OF RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Purchased Shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 3, then after such time the person from whom such Purchased Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Purchased Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Purchased Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement. 4 5 SECTION 4. OTHER RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. (a) PURCHASER REPRESENTATIONS. In connection with the issuance and acquisition of Shares under this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company as follows: (i) The Purchaser is acquiring and will hold the Purchased Shares for investment for his or her account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act. (ii) The Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom and that the Purchased Shares must be held indefinitely, unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or the Purchaser obtains an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that such registration is not required. The Purchaser further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Purchased Shares.

The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that the Company has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future. (iv) The Purchaser will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Purchased Shares in violation of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the rules promulgated thereunder, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Purchaser agrees that he or she will not dispose of the Purchased Shares unless and until he or she has complied with all requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of Purchased Shares and he or she has provided the Company with written assurances, in substance and form satisfactory to the Company, that (A) the proposed disposition does not require registration of the Purchased Shares under the Securities Act or all appropriate action necessary for compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or with any exemption from registration available under the Securities Act (including Rule 144) has been taken and (B) the proposed disposition will not result in the contravention of any transfer restrictions applicable to the Purchased Shares under the Rules of the California Corporations Commissioner. (v) The Purchaser has been furnished with, and has had access to, such information as he or she considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to invest 5 6 in the Purchased Shares, and the Purchaser has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the issuance of the Purchased Shares.

The Purchaser is able, without impairing his or her financial condition, to hold the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of his or her investment in the Purchased Shares. (b) SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of the Purchased Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law. (c) MARKET STAND-OFF. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company's initial public offering, the Purchaser shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer for value (including entering into any swap or similar agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Company's securities, whether any such transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise) or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Purchased Shares without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters. Such restriction (the "Market Stand-Off") shall be in effect for such period of time following the date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed 180 days. The Market Stand-Off shall in any event terminate two years after the date of the Company's initial public offering. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Shares thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off. In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Purchased Shares until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company's underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (c). This Subsection (c) shall not apply to Shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act, and the Purchaser shall be subject to 6 7 this Subsection (c) only if the directors and officers of the Company are subject to similar arrangements.

SECTION 6. NO RETENTION RIGHTS. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Purchaser any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Purchaser) or of the Purchaser, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate his or her Service at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.

Shares purchased by exercising this option may be subject to the Right of Repurchase under Section 7. (b) $100,000 LIMITATION. If this Option is designated as an ISO in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, then the Optionee's right to exercise this option shall be deferred to the extent (and only to the extent) that this option otherwise would not be treated as an ISO by reason of the $100,000 annual limitation under Section 422(d) of the Code, except that: (i) The Optionee's right to exercise this option shall not be deferred with respect to that portion of the Shares subject to this option whose Fair Market Value as of the Date of Grant exceeds $500,000; and (ii) The Optionee's right to exercise this option shall no longer be deferred in the event that (A) a Change in Control occurs, (B) this option is not assumed 2 by the surviving corporation or its parent and (C) the surviving corporation or its parent does not substitute its own option for this option.

SECTION 4. EXERCISE PROCEDURES. (a) NOTICE OF EXERCISE. The Optionee or the Optionee's representative may exercise this option by giving written notice to the Company pursuant to Section 13(c). The notice shall specify the election to exercise this option, the number of Shares for which it is being exercised and the form of payment. The notice shall be signed by the person exercising this option. In the event that this option is being exercised by the representative of the Optionee, the notice shall be accompanied by proof (satisfactory to the Company) of the representative's right to exercise this option.

(b) ISSUANCE OF SHARES. After receiving a proper notice of exercise, the Company shall cause to be issued a certificate or certificates for the Shares as to which this option has been exercised, registered in the name of the person exercising this option (or in the names of such person and his or her spouse as community property or as joint tenants with right of survivorship).

The Optionee shall not surrender Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such surrender would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense with respect to the option for financial reporting purposes. (c) EXERCISE/SALE. If Stock is publicly traded, all or part of the Purchase Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company. (d) EXERCISE/PLEDGE. If Stock is publicly traded, all or part of the Purchase Price and any withholding taxes may be paid by the delivery (on a form prescribed by the Company) of an irrevocable direction to pledge Shares to a securities broker or lender approved by the Company, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company.

(b) TERMINATION OF SERVICE (EXCEPT BY DEATH). If the Optionee's Service terminates for any reason other than death, then this option shall expire on the earliest of the following occasions: (i) The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (a) above; (ii) The date three months after the termination of the Optionee's Service for any reason other than Disability; or (iii) The date six months after the termination of the Optionee's Service by reason of Disability. The Optionee may exercise all or part of this option at any time before its expiration under the preceding sentence, but only to the extent that this option had become exercisable before the Optionee's Service terminated. When the Optionee's Service terminates, this option shall expire immediately with respect to the number of Shares for which this option is not yet exercisable and with respect to any Restricted Shares. In the event that the Optionee dies after termination of Service but before the expiration of this option, all or part of this option may be exercised (prior to expiration) by the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or by any person who has acquired this option directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or 3 4 inheritance, but only to the extent that this option had become exercisable before the Optionee's Service terminated.

If the Optionee dies while in Service, then this option shall expire on the earlier of the following dates: (i) The expiration date determined pursuant to Subsection (a) above; or (ii) The date 12 months after the Optionee's death. All or part of this option may be exercised at any time before its expiration under the preceding sentence by the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or by any person who has acquired this option directly from the Optionee by beneficiary designation, bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that this option had become exercisable before the Optionee's death.

(d) LEAVES OF ABSENCE. For any purpose under this Agreement, Service shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on a bona fide leave of absence, if such leave was approved by the Company in writing and if continued crediting of Service for such purpose is expressly required by the terms of such leave or by applicable law (as determined by the Company). (e) NOTICE CONCERNING ISO TREATMENT. If this option is designated as an ISO in the Notice of Stock Option Grant, it ceases to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an ISO to the extent it is exercised (i) more than three months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or permanent and total disability (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), (ii) more than 12 months after the date the Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of such permanent and total disability or (iii) after the Optionee has been on a leave of absence for more than 90 days, unless the Optionee's reemployment rights are guaranteed by statute or by contract. SECTION 7. RIGHT OF REPURCHASE. (a) SCOPE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT. Unless they have become vested in accordance with the Notice of Stock Option Grant and Subsection (c) below, the Shares acquired under this Agreement initially shall be Restricted Shares and shall be subject to a right (but not an obligation) of repurchase by the Company. The Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any Restricted Shares, except as provided in the following sentence. The Optionee may transfer Restricted Shares (i) by beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) to the Optionee's spouse, children or grandchildren or to a trust established by the Optionee for the benefit of the Optionee or the Optionee's spouse, children or grandchildren, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Optionee transfers any Restricted Shares, then this Section 7 shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee. 4 5 (b) CONDITION PRECEDENT TO EXERCISE. The Right of Repurchase shall be exercisable only during the 60-day period next following the later of: (i) The date when the Optionee's Service terminates for any reason, with or without Cause, including (without limitation) death or disability; or (ii) The date when this option was exercised by the Optionee, the executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or any person who has acquired this option directly from the Optionee by bequest, inheritance or beneficiary designation. (c) LAPSE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Right of Repurchase shall lapse with respect to the Shares subject to this option in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Notice of Stock Option Grant. The Right of Repurchase shall lapse and all of the remaining Restricted Shares shall become vested if (i) the Company is subject to a Change in Control and (ii) the Right of Repurchase is not assigned to the entity that employs the Optionee immediately after the Change in Control or to its parent or subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, effective October 1, 1998, in the event that the Right of Repurchase is assigned to the entity that employs the Optionee immediately after the Change in Control or to its parent or subsidiary and the Optionee experiences an Involuntary Termination within twelve months following a Change in Control, the Right of Repurchase shall lapse and an additional number of Restricted Shares shall become vested as if the Optionee provided an additional eighteen (18) months of Service. (d) REPURCHASE COST. If the Company exercises the Right of Repurchase, it shall pay the Optionee an amount equal to the Exercise Price for each of the Restricted Shares being repurchased. (e) EXERCISE OF REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Right of Repurchase shall be exercisable only by written notice delivered to the Optionee prior to the expiration of the 60-day period specified in Subsection (b) above. The notice shall set forth the date on which the repurchase is to be effected. Such date shall not be more than 30 days after the date of the notice. The certificate(s) representing the Restricted Shares to be repurchased shall, prior to the close of business on the date specified for the repurchase, be delivered to the Company properly endorsed for transfer. The Company shall, concurrently with the receipt of such certificate(s), pay to the Optionee the purchase price determined according to Subsection (d) above. Payment shall be made in cash or cash equivalents or by canceling indebtedness to the Company incurred by the Optionee in the purchase of the Restricted Shares. The Right of Repurchase shall terminate with respect to any Restricted Shares for which it has not been timely exercised pursuant to this Subsection (e). (f) ADDITIONAL SHARES OR SUBSTITUTED SECURITIES. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Restricted Shares or into which such Restricted Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to the Right of Repurchase. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Restricted Shares. Appropriate adjustments shall also, after each such transaction, be made to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Right of Repurchase in order to reflect any change in the Company's outstanding securities effected without receipt of consideration 5 6 therefor; provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price payable for the Restricted Shares shall remain the same. (g) TERMINATION OF RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Restricted Shares to be repurchased in accordance with this Section 7, then after such time the person from whom such Restricted Shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Restricted Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Restricted Shares shall be deemed to have been repurchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement. (h) ESCROW. Upon issuance, the certificates for Restricted Shares shall be deposited in escrow with the Company to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property described in Subsection (f) above shall immediately be delivered to the Company to be held in escrow, but only to the extent the Shares are at the time Restricted Shares. All regular cash dividends on Restricted Shares (or other securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to the Optionee and shall not be held in escrow. Restricted Shares, together with any other assets or securities held in escrow hereunder, shall be (i) surrendered to the Company for repurchase and cancellation upon the Company's exercise of its Right of Repurchase or Right of First Refusal or (ii) released to the Optionee upon the Optionee's request to the extent the Shares are no longer Restricted Shares (but not more frequently than once every six months). In any event, all Shares which have vested (and any other vested assets and securities attributable thereto) shall be released within 60 days after the earlier of (i) the Optionee's cessation of Service or (ii) the lapse of the Right of First Refusal. SECTION 8. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. (a) RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. In the event that the Optionee proposes to sell, pledge or otherwise transfer to a third party any Shares acquired under this Agreement, or any interest in such Shares, the Company shall have the Right of First Refusal with respect to all (and not less than all) of such Shares. If the Optionee desires to transfer Shares acquired under this Agreement, the Optionee shall give a written Transfer Notice to the Company describing fully the proposed transfer, including the number of Shares proposed to be transferred, the proposed transfer price, the name and address of the proposed Transferee and proof satisfactory to the Company that the proposed sale or transfer will not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws. The Transfer Notice shall be signed both by the Optionee and by the proposed Transferee and must constitute a binding commitment of both parties to the transfer of the Shares. The Company shall have the right to purchase all, and not less than all, of the Shares on the terms of the proposal described in the Transfer Notice (subject, however, to any change in such terms permitted under Subsection (b) below) by delivery of a notice of exercise of the Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when the Transfer Notice was received by the Company. The Company's rights under this Subsection (a) shall be freely assignable, in whole or in part. 6 7 (b) TRANSFER OF SHARES. If the Company fails to exercise its Right of First Refusal within 30 days after the date when it received the Transfer Notice, the Optionee may, not later than 90 days following receipt of the Transfer Notice by the Company, conclude a transfer of the Shares subject to the Transfer Notice on the terms and conditions described in the Transfer Notice, provided that any such sale is made in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and not in violation of any other contractual restrictions to which the Optionee is bound. Any proposed transfer on terms and conditions different from those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed transfer by the Optionee, shall again be subject to the Right of First Refusal and shall require compliance with the procedure described in Subsection (a) above. If the Company exercises its Right of First Refusal, the parties shall consummate the sale of the Shares on the terms set forth in the Transfer Notice within 60 days after the date when the Company received the Transfer Notice (or within such longer period as may have been specified in the Transfer Notice); provided, however, that in the event the Transfer Notice provided that payment for the Shares was to be made in a form other than cash or cash equivalents paid at the time of transfer, the Company shall have the option of paying for the Shares with cash or cash equivalents equal to the present value of the consideration described in the Transfer Notice. (c) ADDITIONAL SHARES OR SUBSTITUTED SECURITIES. In the event of the declaration of a stock dividend, the declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than stock, a spin-off, a stock split, an adjustment in conversion ratio, a recapitalization or a similar transaction affecting the Company's outstanding securities without receipt of consideration, any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as an ordinary cash dividend) which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Shares subject to this Section 8 or into which such Shares thereby become convertible shall immediately be subject to this Section 8. Appropriate adjustments to reflect the distribution of such securities or property shall be made to the number and/or class of the Shares subject to this Section 8. (d) TERMINATION OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Any other provision of this Section 8 notwithstanding, in the event that the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market when the Optionee desires to transfer Shares, the Company shall have no Right of First Refusal, and the Optionee shall have no obligation to comply with the procedures prescribed by Subsections (a) and (b) above. (e) PERMITTED TRANSFERS. This Section 8 shall not apply to (i) a transfer by beneficiary designation, will or intestate succession or (ii) a transfer to the Optionee's spouse, children or to a trust established by the Optionee for the benefit of the Optionee or the Optionee's spouse, children or grandchildren, provided in either case that the Transferee agrees in writing on a form prescribed by the Company to be bound by all provisions of this Agreement. If the Optionee transfers any Shares acquired under this Agreement, either under this Subsection (e) or after the Company has failed to exercise the Right of First Refusal, then this Section 8 shall apply to the Transferee to the same extent as to the Optionee. 7 8 (f) TERMINATION OF RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. If the Company makes available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Shares to be purchased in accordance with this Section 8, then after such time the person from whom such Shares are to be purchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such Shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such Shares shall be deemed to have been purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, whether or not the certificate(s) therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement. SECTION 9. LEGALITY OF INITIAL ISSUANCE. No Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this option unless and until the Company has determined that: (a) It and the Optionee have taken any actions required to register the Shares under the Securities Act or to perfect an exemption from the registration requirements thereof; (b) Any applicable listing requirement of any stock exchange on which Stock is listed has been satisfied; and (c) Any other applicable provision of state or federal law has been satisfied. SECTION 10. NO REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify the sale of Shares under the Securities Act or any other applicable law. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale of Shares under this Agreement to comply with any law. SECTION 11. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. (a) SECURITIES LAW RESTRICTIONS. Regardless of whether the offering and sale of Shares under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act or have been registered or qualified under the securities laws of any state, the Company at its discretion may impose restrictions upon the sale, pledge or other transfer of such Shares (including the placement of appropriate legends on stock certificates or the imposition of stop-transfer instructions) if, in the judgment of the Company, such restrictions are necessary or desirable in order to achieve compliance with the Securities Act, the securities laws of any state or any other law. (b) MARKET STAND-OFF. In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, including the Company's initial public offering, the Optionee shall not directly or indirectly sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer for value (including entering into any swap or similar agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Company's securities, 8 9 whether any such transaction described above is to be settled by delivery of Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise) or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters.

In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Shares acquired under this Agreement until the end of the applicable stand-off period. The Company's underwriters shall be beneficiaries of the agreement set forth in this Subsection (b).

THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY WILL UPON WRITTEN REQUEST 9 10 FURNISH A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT TO THE HOLDER HEREOF WITHOUT CHARGE." All certificates evidencing Shares purchased under this Agreement in an unregistered transaction shall bear the following legend (and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable under the provisions of any applicable law): "THE SHARES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED." (f) REMOVAL OF LEGENDS. If, in the opinion of the Company and its counsel, any legend placed on a stock certificate representing Shares sold under this Agreement is no longer required, the holder of such certificate shall be entitled to exchange such certificate for a certificate representing the same number of Shares but without such legend. (g) ADMINISTRATION. Any determination by the Company and its counsel in connection with any of the matters set forth in this Section 11 shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and all other persons. SECTION 12.

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN This 1995 Stock Option Plan is intended to promote the interests of CellStream Networks Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to remain in the service of the Corporation. Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix. II. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN A. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. However, any or all administrative functions otherwise exercisable by the Board may be delegated to the Committee. Members of the Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of the Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee. B. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding options as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any option or shares issued thereunder. III. ELIGIBILITY A. The persons eligible to receive option grants under the Plan are as follows: (i) Employees, (ii) non-employee members of the Board or the non-employee members of the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and 1 2 (iii) consultants who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). B. The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine which eligible persons are to receive option grants under the Plan, the time or times when such option grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or times at which each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding. IV. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 1,518,245 shares. B. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two. All shares issued under the Plan, whether or not those shares are subsequently repurchased by the Corporation pursuant to its repurchase rights under the Plan, shall reduce on a share-for-share basis the number of shares of Common Stock available for subsequent issuance under the Plan. C. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. In no event shall any such adjustments be made in connection with the conversion of one or more outstanding shares of the Corporation's preferred stock into shares of Common Stock. ARTICLE TWO OPTION GRANT PROGRAM I. OPTION TERMS Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall comply with the terms 2 3 specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options. A. EXERCISE PRICE. 1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the following provisions: (i) The exercise price per share shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. (ii) If the person to whom the option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 2. The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Three and the documents evidencing the option, be payable in cash or check made payable to the Corporation. Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then the exercise price may also be paid as follows: (i) in shares of Common Stock held for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or (ii) to the extent the option is exercised for vested shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable written instructions (a) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale. Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date. B. EXERCISE AND TERM OF OPTIONS. Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan 3 4 Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date. C. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death: (i) Should the Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason other than Disability or death, then the Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee. (ii) Should such Service terminate by reason of Disability, then the Optionee shall have a period of six (6) months following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee. However, should such Disability be deemed to constitute Permanent Disability, then the period during which each outstanding option held by the Optionee is to remain exercisable shall be extended by an additional six (6) months so that the exercise period shall be the twelve (12)-month period following the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service by reason of such Permanent Disability. (iii) Should the Optionee die while holding one or more outstanding options, then the personal representative of the Optionee's estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution shall have a period of twelve (12) months following the date of the Optionee's death during which to exercise each such option. (iv) Under no circumstances, however, shall any such option be exercisable after the specified expiration of the option term. (v) During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee's cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee's cessation of Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding to the extent it is not exercisable for vested shares on the date of such cessation of Service. D. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares. 4 5 E. UNVESTED SHARES. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock under the Plan. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, all or (at the discretion of the Corporation and with the consent of the Optionee) any of those unvested shares. The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right. The Plan Administrator may not impose a vesting schedule upon any option grant or any shares of Common Stock subject to the option which is more restrictive than twenty percent (20%) per year vesting, with the initial vesting to occur one (1) year after the option grant date. However, this minimum vesting requirement shall not be applicable with respect to any option granted to a Highly-Compensated Person. F. FIRST REFUSAL RIGHTS. Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Optionee (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right. G. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution following the Optionee's death. However, a Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee's lifetime in accordance with the terms of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. H. WITHHOLDING. The Corporation's obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements. II. INCENTIVE OPTIONS The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of the Plan shall be applicable to Incentive Options.

EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. C. DOLLAR LIMITATION.

To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted. D. 10% STOCKHOLDER. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date. III. CORPORATE TRANSACTION A. In the event of any Corporate Transaction, each outstanding option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction. In addition, all outstanding repurchase rights shall terminate automatically in the event of any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent the repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction. B. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in the consummation of such Corporate Transaction, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. C. The grant of options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. IV. CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefor new options covering the same or 6 7 different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date. ARTICLE THREE MISCELLANEOUS I. FINANCING The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee to pay the option exercise price by delivering a promissory note payable in one or more installments. The terms of any such promissory note (including the interest rate and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. Promissory notes may be authorized with or without security or collateral. In all events, the maximum credit available to the Optionee may not exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of such shares) plus (ii) any Federal, state and local income and employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee in connection with the option exercise. II. ADDITIONAL AUTHORITY A. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following the Optionee's cessation of Service or death from the limited period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term. III. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN A. The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the Board, but no option granted under the Plan may be exercised until the Plan is approved by the Corporation's stockholders.

B. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE 1. RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The Purchased Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act and are being issued to Optionee in reliance upon the exemption from such registration provided by SEC Rule 701 for stock issuances under compensatory benefit plans such as the Plan. Optionee hereby confirms that Optionee has been informed that the Purchased Shares are restricted securities under the 1933 Act and may not be resold or transferred unless the Purchased Shares are first registered under the Federal securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available. Accordingly, Optionee hereby acknowledges that Optionee is prepared to hold the Purchased Shares for an indefinite period and that Optionee is aware that SEC 1 2 Rule 144 issued under the 1933 Act which exempts certain resales of unrestricted securities is not presently available to exempt the resale of the Purchased Shares from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. 2. RESTRICTIONS ON DISPOSITION OF PURCHASED SHARES. Optionee shall make no disposition of the Purchased Shares (other than a Permitted Transfer) unless and until there is compliance with all of the following requirements: (i) Optionee shall have provided the Corporation with a written summary of the terms and conditions of the proposed disposition. (ii) Optionee shall have complied with all requirements of this Agreement applicable to the disposition of the Purchased Shares. (iii) Optionee shall have provided the Corporation with written assurances, in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation, that (a) the proposed disposition does not require registration of the Purchased Shares under the 1933 Act or (b) all appropriate action necessary for compliance with the registration requirements of the 1933 Act or any exemption from registration available under the 1933 Act (including Rule 144) has been taken. (iv) Optionee shall have provided the Corporation with written assurances, in form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation, that the proposed disposition will not result in the contravention of any transfer restrictions applicable to the Purchased Shares pursuant to the provisions of the Rules of the California Corporations Commissioner identified in Paragraph B.4. The Corporation shall not be required (i) to transfer on its books any Purchased Shares which have been sold or transferred in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) to treat as the owner of the Purchased Shares, or otherwise to accord voting, dividend or liquidation rights to, any transferee to whom the Purchased Shares have been transferred in contravention of this Agreement. 3. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The stock certificates for the Purchased Shares shall be endorsed with one or more of the following restrictive legends: (i) "The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The shares may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement for the shares under such Act, (b) a `no action' letter of the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to such sale or offer or (c) satisfactory assurances to the Corporation that registration under such Act is not required with respect to such sale or offer." (ii) "It is unlawful to consummate a sale or transfer of this security, or any interest therein, or to receive any consideration therefor, without the 2 3 prior written consent of the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of California, except as permitted in the Commissioner's Rules." (iii) "The shares represented by this certificate are subject to certain repurchase rights and rights of first refusal granted to the Corporation and accordingly may not be sold, assigned, transferred, encumbered, or in any manner disposed of except in conformity with the terms of a written agreement dated , 199 between the Corporation and the registered holder of the shares (or the predecessor in interest to the shares). A copy of such agreement is maintained at the Corporation's principal corporate offices." 4. RECEIPT OF COMMISSIONER RULES. Optionee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of Section 260.141.11 of the Rules of the California Corporations Commissioner, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit II to this Agreement. C. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS 1. RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. Except for any Permitted Transfer, Optionee shall not transfer, assign, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchased Shares which are subject to the Repurchase Right. In addition, Purchased Shares which are released from the Repurchase Right shall not be transferred, assigned, encumbered or otherwise disposed of in contravention of the First Refusal Right, the Market Stand-Off or the Special Purchase Right. 2. TRANSFEREE OBLIGATIONS. Each person (other than the Corporation) to whom the Purchased Shares are transferred by means of a Permitted Transfer must, as a condition precedent to the validity of such transfer, acknowledge in writing to the Corporation that such person is bound by the provisions of this Agreement and that the transferred shares are subject to (i) the Repurchase Right, (ii) the First Refusal Right and (iii) the Market Stand-Off, to the same extent such shares would be so subject if retained by Optionee. 3. MARKET STAND-OFF. (a) In connection with any underwritten public offering by the Corporation of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act, including the Corporation's initial public offering, Owner shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Purchased Shares without the prior written consent of the Corporation or its underwriters. Such restriction (the "Market Stand-Off") shall be in effect for such period of time from and after the effective date of the final prospectus for the offering as may be requested by the Corporation or such underwriters. In no event, however, shall such period exceed one hundred eighty (180) days and the Market Stand-Off shall in all events terminate two (2) years after the effective date of the Corporation's initial public offering. (b) Owner shall be subject to the Market Stand-Off provided and only if the officers and directors of the Corporation are also subject to similar restrictions. 3 4 (c) Any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of any Recapitalization or Reorganization distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the Market Stand-Off, to the same extent the Purchased Shares are at such time covered by such provisions. (d) In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Corporation may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Purchased Shares until the end of the applicable stand-off period. D. REPURCHASE RIGHT 1. GRANT. The Corporation is hereby granted the right (the "Repurchase Right"), exercisable at any time during the sixty (60)-day period following the date Optionee ceases for any reason to remain in Service or (if later) during the sixty (60)-day period following the execution date of this Agreement, to repurchase at the Exercise Price all or (at the discretion of the Corporation and with the consent of Optionee) any portion of the Purchased Shares in which Optionee is not, at the time of his or her cessation of Service, vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule (such shares to be hereinafter referred to as the "Unvested Shares"). 2. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Repurchase Right shall be exercisable by written notice delivered to each Owner of the Unvested Shares prior to the expiration of the sixty (60)-day exercise period. The notice shall indicate the number of Unvested Shares to be repurchased and the date on which the repurchase is to be effected, such date to be not more than thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. The certificates representing the Unvested Shares to be repurchased shall be delivered to the Corporation prior to the close of business on the date specified for the repurchase. Concurrently with the receipt of such stock certificates, the Corporation shall pay to Owner, in cash or cash equivalents (including the cancellation of any purchase-money indebtedness), an amount equal to the Exercise Price previously paid for the Unvested Shares which are to be repurchased from Owner. 3. TERMINATION OF THE REPURCHASE RIGHT. The Repurchase Right shall terminate with respect to any Unvested Shares for which it is not timely exercised under Paragraph D.2. In addition, the Repurchase Right shall terminate and cease to be exercisable with respect to any and all Purchased Shares in which Optionee vests in accordance with the Vesting Schedule. All Purchased Shares as to which the Repurchase Right lapses shall, however, remain subject to (i) the First Refusal Right, (ii) the Market Stand-Off and (iii) the Special Purchase Right. 4. AGGREGATE VESTING LIMITATION. If the Option is exercised in more than one increment so that Optionee is a party to one or more other Stock Purchase Agreements (the "Prior Purchase Agreements") which are executed prior to the date of this Agreement, then the total number of Purchased Shares as to which Optionee shall be deemed to have a fully-vested interest under this Agreement and all Prior Purchase Agreements shall not exceed in the aggregate the number of Purchased Shares in which Optionee would otherwise at the time be vested, in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, had all the Purchased Shares (including those acquired under the Prior Purchase Agreements) been acquired exclusively under this Agreement. 4 5 5. RECAPITALIZATION. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including cash paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the Repurchase Right, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right. Appropriate adjustments to reflect such distribution shall be made to the number and/or class of Purchased Shares subject to this Agreement and to the price per share to be paid upon the exercise of the Repurchase Right in order to reflect the effect of any such Recapitalization upon the Corporation's capital structure; provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. 6. CORPORATE TRANSACTION. (a) Immediately prior to the consummation of any Corporate Transaction, the Repurchase Right shall automatically lapse in its entirety, except to the extent the Repurchase Right is to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with the Corporate Transaction. (b) To the extent the Repurchase Right remains in effect following a Corporate Transaction, such right shall apply to the new capital stock or other property (including any cash payment) received in exchange for the Purchased Shares in consummation of the Corporate Transaction, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right. Appropriate adjustments shall be made to the price per share payable upon exercise of the Repurchase Right to reflect the effect of the Corporate Transaction upon the Corporation's capital structure; provided, however, that the aggregate purchase price shall remain the same. E. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL 1. GRANT. The Corporation is hereby granted the right of first refusal (the "First Refusal Right"), exercisable in connection with any proposed transfer of the Purchased Shares in which Optionee has vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule. For purposes of this Article E, the term "transfer" shall include any sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of the Purchased Shares intended to be made by Owner, but shall not include any Permitted Transfer. 2. NOTICE OF INTENDED DISPOSITION. In the event any Owner of Purchased Shares in which Optionee has vested desires to accept a bona fide third-party offer for the transfer of any or all of such shares (the Purchased Shares subject to such offer to be hereinafter referred to as the "Target Shares"), Owner shall promptly (i) deliver to the Corporation written notice (the "Disposition Notice") of the terms of the offer, including the purchase price and the identity of the third-party offeror, and (ii) provide satisfactory proof that the disposition of the Target Shares to such third-party offeror would not be in contravention of the provisions set forth in Articles B and C. 3. EXERCISE OF THE FIRST REFUSAL RIGHT. The Corporation shall, for a period of twenty-five (25) days following receipt of the Disposition Notice, have the right to repurchase any 5 6 or all of the Target Shares subject to the Disposition Notice upon the same terms as those specified therein or upon such other terms (not materially different from those specified in the Disposition Notice) to which Owner consents. Such right shall be exercisable by delivery of written notice (the "Exercise Notice") to Owner prior to the expiration of the twenty-five (25)-day exercise period. If such right is exercised with respect to all the Target Shares, then the Corporation shall effect the repurchase of such shares, including payment of the purchase price, not more than five (5) business days after delivery of the Exercise Notice; and at such time the certificates representing the Target Shares shall be delivered to the Corporation. Should the purchase price specified in the Disposition Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Corporation shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the value of such property. If Owner and the Corporation cannot agree on such cash value within ten (10) days after the Corporation's receipt of the Disposition Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by Owner and the Corporation or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) days after the Corporation's receipt of the Disposition Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two (2) appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by Owner and the Corporation. The closing shall then be held on the later of (i) the fifth (5th) business day following delivery of the Exercise Notice or (ii) the fifth (5th) business day after such valuation shall have been made. 4. NON-EXERCISE OF THE FIRST REFUSAL RIGHT. In the event the Exercise Notice is not given to Owner prior to the expiration of the twenty-five (25)-day exercise period, Owner shall have a period of thirty (30) days thereafter in which to sell or otherwise dispose of the Target Shares to the third-party offeror identified in the Disposition Notice upon terms (including the purchase price) no more favorable to such third-party offeror than those specified in the Disposition Notice; provided, however, that any such sale or disposition must not be effected in contravention of the provisions of Articles B and C. The third-party offeror shall acquire the Target Shares free and clear of the Repurchase Right and the First Refusal Right, but the acquired shares shall remain subject to the provisions of Article B and Paragraph C.3. In the event Owner does not effect such sale or disposition of the Target Shares within the specified thirty (30)-day period, the First Refusal Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the Target Shares by Owner until such right lapses. 5. PARTIAL EXERCISE OF THE FIRST REFUSAL RIGHT. In the event the Corporation makes a timely exercise of the First Refusal Right with respect to a portion, but not all, of the Target Shares specified in the Disposition Notice, Owner shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to the Corporation delivered within five (5) business days after Owner's receipt of the Exercise Notice, to effect the sale of the Target Shares pursuant to either of the following alternatives: (i) sale or other disposition of all the Target Shares to the third-party offeror identified in the Disposition Notice, but in full compliance with the requirements of Paragraph E.4, as if the Corporation did not exercise the First Refusal Right; or 6 7 (ii) sale to the Corporation of the portion of the Target Shares which the Corporation has elected to purchase, such sale to be effected in substantial conformity with the provisions of Paragraph E.3. The First Refusal Right shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent disposition of the remaining Target Shares until such right lapses. Failure of Owner to deliver timely notification to the Corporation shall be deemed to be an election by Owner to sell the Target Shares pursuant to alternative (i) above. 6. RECAPITALIZATION/REORGANIZATION. (a) Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of any Recapitalization distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares shall be immediately subject to the First Refusal Right, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right. (b) In the event of a Reorganization, the First Refusal Right shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to the new capital stock or other property received in exchange for the Purchased Shares in consummation of the Reorganization, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time covered by such right. 7. LAPSE. The First Refusal Right shall lapse upon the earliest to occur of (i) the first date on which shares of the Common Stock are held of record by more than five hundred (500) persons, (ii) a determination is made by the Board that a public market exists for the outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iii) a firm commitment underwritten public offering, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, covering the offer and sale of the Common Stock in the aggregate amount of at least ten million dollars ($10,000,000). However, the Market Stand-Off shall continue to remain in full force and effect following the lapse of the First Refusal Right. F. G. ESCROW 1. DEPOSIT. Upon issuance, the certificates for the Purchased Shares which are subject to the Repurchase Right shall be deposited in escrow with the Corporation to be held in accordance with the provisions of this Article F. Each deposited certificate shall be accompanied by a duly-executed Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form of Exhibit I. The deposited certificates, together with any other assets or securities from time to time deposited with the Corporation pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, shall remain in escrow until such time or times as the certificates (or other assets and securities) are to be released or otherwise surrendered for cancellation in accordance with Paragraph F.3. Upon delivery of the certificates (or other assets and securities) to the Corporation, Owner shall be issued a receipt acknowledging the number of Purchased Shares (or other assets and securities) delivered in escrow. 7 8 2. RECAPITALIZATION/REORGANIZATION. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property which is by reason of any Recapitalization or Reorganization distributed with respect to the Purchased Shares shall be immediately delivered to the Corporation to be held in escrow under this Article F, but only to the extent the Purchased Shares are at the time subject to the escrow requirements hereunder. However, all regular cash dividends on the Purchased Shares (or other securities at the time held in escrow) shall be paid directly to Owner and shall not be held in escrow. 3. RELEASE/SURRENDER. The Purchased Shares, together with any other assets or securities held in escrow hereunder, shall be subject to the following terms relating to their release from escrow or their surrender to the Corporation for repurchase and cancellation: (i) Should the Corporation elect to exercise the Repurchase Right with respect to any Unvested Shares, then the escrowed certificates for those Unvested Shares (together with any other assets or securities attributable thereto) shall be surrendered to the Corporation concurrently with the payment to Owner of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for such Unvested Shares, and Owner shall cease to have any further rights or claims with respect to such Unvested Shares (or other assets or securities attributable thereto). (ii) Should the Corporation elect to exercise the First Refusal Right with respect to any Target Shares held at the time in escrow hereunder, then the escrowed certificates for those Target Shares (together with any other assets or securities attributable thereto) shall be surrendered to the Corporation concurrently with the payment of the Paragraph E.3 purchase price for such Target Shares to Owner, and Owner shall cease to have any further rights or claims with respect to such Target Shares (or other assets or securities attributable thereto). (iii) Should the Corporation elect not to exercise the Repurchase Right with respect to any Unvested Shares or the First Refusal Right with respect to any Target Shares held at the time in escrow hereunder, then the escrowed certificates for those shares (together with any other assets or securities attributable thereto) shall be immediately released to Owner. (iv) As the Purchased Shares (or any other assets or securities attributable thereto) vest in accordance with the Vesting Schedule, the certificates for those vested shares (as well as all other vested assets and securities) shall be released from escrow upon Owner's request, but not more frequently than once every six (6) months. (v) All Purchased Shares which vest (and any other vested assets and securities attributable thereto) shall be released within thirty (30) days after the earlier to occur of (a) Optionee's cessation of Service or (b) the lapse of the First Refusal Right. 8 9 (vi) All Purchased Shares (or other assets or securities) released from escrow shall nevertheless remain subject to (a) the First Refusal Right, to the extent such right has not otherwise lapsed, (b) the Market Stand-Off, until such restriction terminates, and (c) the Special Purchase Right, to the extent such right has not otherwise lapsed. H. SPECIAL TAX ELECTION The acquisition of the Purchased Shares may result in adverse tax consequences which may be avoided or mitigated by filing an election under Code Section 83(b). Such election must be filed within thirty (30) days after the date of this Agreement. A description of the tax consequences applicable to the acquisition of the Purchased Shares and the form for making the Code Section 83(b) election are set forth in Exhibit II. OPTIONEE SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF ACQUIRING THE PURCHASED SHARES AND THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF FILING THE CODE SECTION 83(b) ELECTION. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS OPTIONEE'S SOLE RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE CORPORATION'S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(b), EVEN IF OPTIONEE REQUESTS THE CORPORATION OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES TO MAKE THIS FILING ON HIS OR HER BEHALF. I. GENERAL PROVISIONS 1. ASSIGNMENT. The Corporation may assign the Repurchase Right and/or the First Refusal Right to any person or entity selected by the Board, including (without limitation) one or more stockholders of the Corporation. 2. NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE CONTRACT. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon Optionee any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) or of Optionee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate Optionee's Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause. 3. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, registered or certified, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party entitled to such notice at the address indicated below such party's signature line on this Agreement or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice under this paragraph to all other parties to this Agreement. 4. NO WAIVER. The failure of the Corporation in any instance to exercise the Repurchase Right or the First Refusal Right shall not constitute a waiver of any other repurchase rights and/or rights of first refusal that may subsequently arise under the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement between the Corporation and Optionee or Optionee's spouse. No waiver of any breach or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or condition, whether of like or different nature. 9 10 5. CANCELLATION OF SHARES. If the Corporation shall make available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in this Agreement, the consideration for the Purchased Shares to be repurchased in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then from and after such time, the person from whom such shares are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights as a holder of such shares (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with this Agreement). Such shares shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof, and the Corporation shall be deemed the owner and holder of such shares, whether or not the certificates therefor have been delivered as required by this Agreement. J. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 1. OPTIONEE UNDERTAKING. Optionee hereby agrees to take whatever additional action and execute whatever additional documents the Corporation may deem necessary or advisable in order to carry out or effect one or more of the obligations or restrictions imposed on either Optionee or the Purchased Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. 2.

The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and upon Optionee, Optionee's permitted assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionee's estate, whether or not any such person shall have become a party to this Agreement and have agreed in writing to join herein and be bound by the terms hereof. 6. POWER OF ATTORNEY. Optionee's spouse hereby appoints Optionee his or her true and lawful attorney in fact, for him or her and in his or her name, place and stead, and for his or her use and benefit, to agree to any amendment or modification of this Agreement and to execute such further instruments and take such further actions as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES AND SECTION 83(b) ELECTION FOR EXERCISE OF NON-STATUTORY OPTION. If the Purchased Shares are acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Non-Statutory Option, as specified in the Grant Notice, then under Code Section 83, the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares lapse over the Exercise Price paid for such shares will be reportable as ordinary income on the lapse date. For this purpose, the term "forfeiture restrictions" includes the right of the Corporation to repurchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Right. However, Optionee may elect under Code Section 83(b) to be taxed at the time the Purchased Shares are acquired, rather than when and as such Purchased Shares cease to be subject to such forfeiture restrictions. Such election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service within thirty (30) days after the date of the Agreement. Even if the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on the date of the Agreement equals the Exercise Price paid (and thus no tax is payable), the election must be made to avoid adverse tax consequences in the future. The form for making this election is attached as part of this exhibit. FAILURE TO MAKE THIS FILING WITHIN THE APPLICABLE THIRTY (30)-DAY PERIOD WILL RESULT IN THE RECOGNITION OF ORDINARY INCOME BY OPTIONEE AS THE FORFEITURE RESTRICTIONS LAPSE. II. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES AND CONDITIONAL SECTION 83(b) ELECTION FOR EXERCISE OF INCENTIVE OPTION. If the Purchased Shares are acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Option, as specified in the Grant Notice, then the following tax principles shall be applicable to the Purchased Shares: (i) For regular tax purposes, no taxable income will be recognized at the time the Option is exercised. (ii) The excess of (a) the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on the date the Option is exercised or (if later) on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Purchased Shares lapse over (b) the Exercise Price paid for the Purchased Shares will be includible in Optionee's taxable income for alternative minimum tax purposes. (iii) If Optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of the Purchased Shares, then Optionee will recognize ordinary income in the year of such disposition equal in amount to the excess of (a) the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on the date the Option is exercised or (if later) on the date any forfeiture restrictions applicable to the Purchased Shares lapse over (b) the Exercise Price paid for the Purchased Shares. Any additional gain recognized upon the disqualifying disposition will be either short-term or long-term capital gain depending upon the period for which the Purchased Shares are held prior to the disposition. 14 (iv) For purposes of the foregoing, the term "forfeiture restrictions" will include the right of the Corporation to repurchase the Purchased Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Right. The term "disqualifying disposition" means any sale or other disposition(1) of the Purchased Shares within two (2) years after the Grant Date or within one (1) year after the exercise date of the Option. (v) In the absence of final Treasury Regulations relating to Incentive Options, it is not certain whether Optionee may, in connection with the exercise of the Option for any Purchased Shares at the time subject to forfeiture restrictions, file a protective election under Code Section 83(b) which would limit (a) Optionee's alternative minimum taxable income upon exercise and (b) Optionee's ordinary income upon a disqualifying disposition to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Purchased Shares on the date the Option is exercised over the Exercise Price paid for the Purchased Shares. Accordingly, such election if properly filed will only be allowed to the extent the final Treasury Regulations permit such a protective election. Page 2 of the attached form for making the election should be filed with any election made in connection with the exercise of an Incentive Option. - -------- (1) Generally, a disposition of shares purchased under an Incentive Option includes any transfer of legal title, including a transfer by sale, exchange or gift, but does not include a transfer to the Optionee's spouse, a transfer into joint ownership with right of survivorship if Optionee remains one of the joint owners, a pledge, a transfer by bequest or inheritance or certain tax free exchanges permitted under the Code. 15 SECTION 83(b) ELECTION This statement is being made under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to Treas. Reg. Section 1.83-2. (1) The taxpayer who performed the services is: Name: Address: Taxpayer Ident. No.: (2) The property with respect to which the election is being made is _______ shares of the common stock of Cellstream Networks Inc. (3) The property was issued on _________, 199__. (4) The taxable year in which the election is being made is the calendar year 199__. (5) The property is subject to a repurchase right pursuant to which the issuer has the right to acquire the property at the original purchase price if for any reason taxpayer's employment with the issuer is terminated. The issuer's repurchase right lapses in a series of annual and monthly installments over a five (5)-year period ending on __________, 199__. (6) The fair market value at the time of transfer (determined without regard to any restriction other than a restriction which by its terms will never lapse) is $_______ per share. (7) The amount paid for such property is $ _________ per share. (8) A copy of this statement was furnished to Cellstream Networks Inc. for whom taxpayer rendered the services underlying the transfer of property. (9) This statement is executed on__________________, 199__. - ------------------------------ ---------------------------------- Spouse (if any) Taxpayer This election must be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Center with which taxpayer files his or her Federal income tax returns and must be made within thirty (30) days after the execution date of the Stock Purchase Agreement. This filing should be made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested. Optionee must retain two (2) copies of the completed form for filing with his or her Federal and state tax returns for the current tax year and an additional copy for his or her records. 16 The property described in the above Section 83(b) election is comprised of shares of common stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Accordingly, it is the intent of the Taxpayer to utilize this election to achieve the following tax results: 1. The purpose of this election is to have the alternative minimum taxable income attributable to the purchased shares measured by the amount by which the fair market value of such shares at the time of their transfer to the Taxpayer exceeds the purchase price paid for the shares. In the absence of this election, such alternative minimum taxable income would be measured by the spread between the fair market value of the purchased shares and the purchase price which exists on the various lapse dates in effect for the forfeiture restrictions applicable to such shares. The election is to be effective to the full extent permitted under the Code. 2. Section 421(a)(1) of the Code expressly excludes from income any excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares over the amount paid for such shares. Accordingly, this election is also intended to be effective in the event there is a "disqualifying disposition" of the shares, within the meaning of Section 421(b) of the Code, which would otherwise render the provisions of Section 83(a) of the Code applicable at that time. Consequently, the Taxpayer hereby elects to have the amount of disqualifying disposition income measured by the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares on the date of transfer to the Taxpayer over the amount paid for such shares. Since Section 421(a) presently applies to the shares which are the subject of this Section 83(b) election, no taxable income is actually recognized for regular tax purposes at this time, and no income taxes are payable, by the Taxpayer as a result of this election.

B. Optionee is to render valuable services to the Corporation (or a Parent or Subsidiary), and this Agreement is executed pursuant to, and is intended to carry out the purposes of, the Plan in connection with the Corporation's grant of an option to Optionee. C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the attached Appendix. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows: 1. GRANT OF OPTION. The Corporation hereby grants to Optionee, as of the Grant Date, an option to purchase up to the number of Option Shares specified in the Grant Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time during the option term specified in Paragraph 2 at the Exercise Price. 2. OPTION TERM. This option shall have a term of ten (10) years measured from the Grant Date and shall accordingly expire at the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with Paragraph 5, 6 or 17. 3. LIMITED TRANSFERABILITY. This option shall be neither transferable nor assignable by Optionee other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution following Optionee's death and may be exercised, during Optionee's lifetime, only by Optionee. However, if this option is designated a Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice, then this option may also be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee's lifetime in accordance with the terms of a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the option pursuant to such Qualified Domestic Relations Order. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for this option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. 4. DATES OF EXERCISE. This option shall become exercisable for the Option Shares in one or more installments as specified in the Grant Notice. As the option becomes exercisable for such installments, those installments shall accumulate and the option shall remain exercisable for the accumulated installments until the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the option term under Paragraph 5, 6 or 17. 1 2 5. CESSATION OF SERVICE. The option term specified in Paragraph 2 shall terminate (and this option shall cease to be outstanding) prior to the Expiration Date should any of the following provisions become applicable: (i) Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than death or Disability) while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option, but in no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date. (ii) Should Optionee die while this option is outstanding, then the personal representative of Optionee's estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee's will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution shall have the right to exercise this option. Such right shall lapse and this option shall cease to be outstanding upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee's death or (ii) the Expiration Date. (iii) Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Disability while this option is outstanding, then Optionee shall have a period of six (6) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option. However, should such Disability be deemed to constitute Permanent Disability, then the period during which this option is to remain exercisable shall be extended by an additional six (6) months so that the exercise period shall be the twelve (12)-month period following the date of Optionee's cessation of Service by reason of such Permanent Disability. In no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date. Note: Exercise of this option on a date later than three (3) months following cessation of Service due to Disability will result in loss of favorable Incentive Option treatment, unless such Disability constitutes Permanent Disability. In the event that Incentive Option treatment is not available, this option will be taxed as a Non-Statutory Option upon exercise. (iv) During the limited period of post-Service exercisability, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested Option Shares for which the option is exercisable at the time of Optionee's cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the Expiration Date, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised. To the extent Optionee is not vested in the Option Shares at the time of Optionee's cessation of Service, this option shall immediately terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to those shares. 2 3 6. SPECIAL TERMINATION OF OPTION. (a) In the event of a Corporate Transaction, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation or parent thereof in connection with such Corporate Transaction. (b) If this option is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. (c) This Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 7. ADJUSTMENT IN OPTION SHARES. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation's receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder. 8. STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. The holder of this option shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the Option Shares until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the Exercise Price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares. 9.

(a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares for which this option is at the time exercisable, Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions: (i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Purchase Agreement for the Option Shares for which the option is exercised. (ii) Pay the aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in one or more of the following forms: (A) cash or check made payable to the Corporation; or (B) a promissory note payable to the Corporation, but only to the extent authorized by the Plan Administrator in accordance with Paragraph 14. 3 4 Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then the Exercise Price may also be paid as follows: (C) in shares of Common Stock held by Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation's earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date; or (D) to the extent the option is exercised for vested Option Shares, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) shall concurrently provide irrevocable written instructions (a) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate Exercise Price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and (b) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale. Except to the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in connection with the option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price must accompany the Purchase Agreement delivered to the Corporation in connection with the option exercise. (iii) Furnish to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person or persons exercising the option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise this option. (iv) Execute and deliver to the Corporation such written representations as may be requested by the Corporation in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of Federal and state securities laws. (v) Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining Optionee) for the satisfaction of all Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise. (b) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the appropriate legends affixed thereto. (c) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares. 4 5 10. REPURCHASE RIGHTS. ALL OPTION SHARES ACQUIRED UPON THE EXERCISE OF THIS OPTION SHALL BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE CORPORATION AND ITS ASSIGNS TO REPURCHASE THOSE SHARES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS SPECIFIED IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT. 11. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. (a) The exercise of this option and the issuance of the Option Shares upon such exercise shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and Optionee with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any stock exchange (or the Nasdaq National Market, if applicable) on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such exercise and issuance. (b) The inability of the Corporation to obtain approval from any regulatory body having authority deemed by the Corporation to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Common Stock pursuant to this option shall relieve the Corporation of any liability with respect to the non-issuance or sale of the Common Stock as to which such approval shall not have been obtained. The Corporation, however, shall use its best efforts to obtain all such approvals. 12. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Paragraphs 3 and 6, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and Optionee, Optionee's assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of Optionee's estate. 13. NOTICES. Any notice required to be given or delivered to the Corporation under the terms of this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its principal corporate offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to Optionee at the address indicated below Optionee's signature line on the Grant Notice. All notices shall be deemed effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage prepaid and properly addressed to the party to be notified. 14. FINANCING. The Plan Administrator may, in its absolute discretion and without any obligation to do so, permit Optionee to pay the Exercise Price for the purchased Option Shares by delivering a promissory note. The terms of any such promissory note (including the interest rate, the requirements for collateral and the terms of repayment) shall be established by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.(1) - -------- (1) Authorization of payment of the Exercise Price by a promissory note may, under currently proposed Treasury Regulations, result in the loss of incentive stock option treatment under the Federal tax laws. 5 6 15. CONSTRUCTION. This Agreement and the option evidenced hereby are made and granted pursuant to the Plan and are in all respects limited by and subject to the terms of the Plan. All decisions of the Plan Administrator with respect to any question or issue arising under the Plan or this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on all persons having an interest in this option. 16. GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without resort to that State's conflict-of-laws rules. 17. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. (a) The grant of this option is subject to approval of the Plan by the Corporation's stockholders within twelve (12) months after the adoption of the Plan by the Board. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this option may not be exercised in whole or in part until such stockholder approval is obtained. In the event that such stockholder approval is not obtained, then this option shall terminate in its entirety and Optionee shall have no further rights to acquire any Option Shares hereunder. (b) If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may without stockholder approval be issued under the Plan, then this option shall be void with respect to such excess shares, unless stockholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan is obtained in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. 18. ADDITIONAL TERMS APPLICABLE TO AN INCENTIVE OPTION. In the event this option is designated an Incentive Option in the Grant Notice, the following terms and conditions shall also apply to the grant: (a) This option shall cease to qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) this option is exercised for one or more Option Shares: (i) more than three (3) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability or (ii) more than twelve (12) months after the date Optionee ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent Disability. (b) This option shall not become exercisable in the calendar year in which granted if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which this option would otherwise first become exercisable in such calendar year would, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock and any other securities for which one or more other Incentive Options granted to Optionee prior to the Grant Date (whether under the Plan or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) first become exercisable during the same calendar year, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate. To the extent the exercisability of this option is deferred by reason of the foregoing limitation, the deferred portion shall become exercisable in the first calendar year or years thereafter in which the One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation of this Paragraph 18(b) would not be contravened, 6 7 but such deferral shall in all events end immediately prior to the effective date of a Corporate Transaction in which this option is not to be assumed, whereupon the option shall become immediately exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option for the deferred portion of the Option Shares. (c) Should Optionee hold, in addition to this option, one or more other options to purchase Common Stock which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year as this option, then the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted. 7 8 APPENDIX The following definitions shall be in effect under the Agreement: A.

STOCK OPTION ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT SENTIENT NETWORKS, INC. 1997 STOCK PLAN 1995 STOCK OPTION PLAN OPTIONEE: [A] STOCK OPTION ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT effective as of the 18th day of June, 1999 by Cisco Systems, Inc., a California corporation ("Cisco"). WHEREAS, the undersigned individual ("Optionee") holds one or more outstanding options to purchase shares of the common stock of Sentient Networks, Inc. (formerly Cellstream Networks, Inc.), a Delaware corporation ("Sentient"), which were granted to Optionee under the Sentient 1997 Stock Plan or 1995 Stock Option Plan (the "Plans") and are each evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement"). WHEREAS, Sentient has been acquired by Cisco through the merger of Sentient with and into Cisco (the "Merger") pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, by and between Cisco and Sentient (the "Merger Agreement"). WHEREAS, the provisions of the Merger Agreement require Cisco to assume all obligations of Sentient under all outstanding options under the Plans at the consummation of the Merger and to issue to the holder of each outstanding option an agreement evidencing the assumption of such option. WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, the exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio") in effect for the Merger is 0.06555 shares of Cisco common stock ("Cisco Stock") for each outstanding share of Sentient common stock ("Sentient Stock"). WHEREAS, this Agreement became effective immediately upon the consummation of the Merger (the "Effective Time") in order to reflect certain adjustments to Optionee's outstanding options which have become necessary by reason of the assumption of those options by Cisco in connection with the Merger. NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows: 1. The number of shares of Sentient Stock subject to the options held by Optionee immediately prior to the Effective Time (the "Sentient Options") and the exercise price payable per share are set forth in Exhibit(s) A hereto. Cisco hereby assumes, as of the Effective Time, all the duties and obligations of Sentient under each of the Sentient Options. In connection with such assumption, the number of shares of Cisco Stock purchasable under each Sentient 2 Option hereby assumed and the exercise price payable thereunder have been adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio. Accordingly, the number of shares of Cisco Stock subject to each Sentient Option hereby assumed shall be as specified for that option in attached Exhibit(s) A, and the adjusted exercise price payable per share of Cisco Stock under the assumed Sentient Option shall also be as indicated for that option in attached Exhibit(s) A. 2. The intent of the foregoing adjustments to each assumed Sentient Option is to assure that the spread between the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Cisco Stock purchasable under each such option and the aggregate exercise price as adjusted pursuant to this Agreement will, immediately after the consummation of the Merger, be not less than the spread which existed, immediately prior to the Merger, between the then aggregate fair market value of the Sentient Stock subject to the Sentient Option and the aggregate exercise price in effect at such time under the Option Agreement. Such adjustments are also intended to preserve, immediately after the Merger, on a per share basis, the same ratio of exercise price per option share to fair market value per share which existed under the Sentient Option immediately prior to the Merger. 3. The following provisions shall govern each Sentient Option hereby assumed by Cisco: (a) Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in each Option Agreement and in the Plans (i) to the "Company" or the "Corporation" shall mean Cisco, (ii) to "Shares," "Stock" or "Common Stock" shall mean shares of Cisco Stock, (iii) to the "Board of Directors" or "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of Cisco and (iv) to the "Committee" shall mean the Compensation Committee of the Cisco Board of Directors. (b) The grant date and the expiration date of each assumed Sentient Option and all other provisions which govern either the exercise or the termination of the assumed Sentient Option shall remain the same as set forth in the Option Agreement and the Plan, applicable to that option, and the provisions of the Option Agreement and the Plan shall accordingly govern and control Optionee's rights under this Agreement to purchase Cisco Stock. (c) Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, none of your options assumed by Cisco in connection with the transaction will vest and become exercisable on an accelerated basis upon the consummation of the Merger. Each Sentient Option shall be assumed by Cisco as of the Effective Time. Each such assumed Sentient Option shall thereafter continue to vest for any remaining unvested shares of Cisco Stock subject to that option in accordance with the same installment vesting schedule in effect under the applicable Option Agreement immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to each such installment shall be adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio. 2 3 (d) For purposes of applying any and all provisions of the Option Agreement and/or the Plan relating to Optionee's status as an employee or a consultant of Sentient, Optionee shall be deemed to continue in such status as an employee or a consultant for so long as Optionee renders services as an employee or a consultant to Cisco or any present or future Cisco subsidiary. Accordingly, the provisions of the Option Agreement governing the termination of the assumed Sentient Options upon Optionee's cessation of service as an employee or a consultant of Sentient shall hereafter be applied on the basis of Optionee's cessation of employee or consultant status with Cisco and its subsidiaries, and each assumed Sentient Option shall accordingly terminate, within the designated time period in effect under the Option Agreement for that option, following such cessation of service as an employee or a consultant of Cisco and its subsidiaries. (e) The adjusted exercise price payable for the Cisco Stock subject to each assumed Sentient Option shall be payable in any of the forms authorized under the Option Agreement applicable to that option. For purposes of determining the holding period of any shares of Cisco Stock delivered in payment of such adjusted exercise price, the period for which such shares were held as Sentient Stock prior to the Merger shall be taken into account. (f) In order to exercise each assumed Sentient Option, Optionee must deliver to Cisco a written notice of exercise in which the number of shares of Cisco Stock to be purchased thereunder must be indicated. The exercise notice must be accompanied by payment of the adjusted exercise price payable for the purchased shares of Cisco Stock and should be delivered to Cisco at the following address: Cisco Systems, Inc. 255 West Tasman Drive, Building J San Jose, CA 95134 Attention: Option Plan Administrator 4. Except to the extent specifically modified by this Option Assumption Agreement, all of the terms and conditions of each Option Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Merger shall continue in full force and effect and shall not in any way be amended, revised or otherwise affected by this Stock Option Assumption Agreement. 3 4 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Cisco Systems, Inc. has caused this Stock Option Assumption Agreement to be executed on its behalf by its duly-authorized officer effective as of the 18th day of June, 1999.
