thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.
(f) Transferability of a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
A Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be

but need not, vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may, but need
not, be equal. The Option may be subject to such other terms and conditions on

the time or times when it may be exercised (which may be based on performance or other
criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options may
vary. The provisions of this subsection 6(g) are subject to any Option provisions governing the
minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which an Option may be exercised.

the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the

after the termination of the Optionholders Continuous Service during which the exercise of the

Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of
termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date six (6)
months following such termination (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option
Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.
If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time
specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

In the event (i) an Optionholders Continuous Service terminates
as a result of the Optionholders death or (ii) the Optionholder dies within the period (if any)
specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholders Continuous Service
for a reason other than death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was
entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholders estate, by a person
who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated
to exercise the Option upon the Optionholders death pursuant to subsection 6(e) or 6(f), but only
within the period ending on the earlier of (1) the date six (6) months following the date of death
(or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement),or (2) the expiration of the

Common Stock under the Stock Award has been registered under a then currently effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) as to any particular requirement, a
determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the
circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel
to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems
necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not
limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.
(f) Withholding Obligations.
The Companys obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock
pursuant to any Stock Award shall be subject to satisfaction of all applicable income and

merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend
in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of
shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of
consideration by the Company), the Plan will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum
number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to subsection 4(a), and the outstanding Stock
Awards will be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities and price per share
of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Stock Awards. The Board shall make such adjustments,
and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive. (The conversion of any convertible
securities of the Company shall not be treated as a transaction without receipt of consideration
by the Company.)
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation
. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
then all outstanding Stock Awards shall terminate immediately prior to such event.
(c) Asset Sale, Merger, Consolidation or Reverse Merger
. In the event of (i) a sale, lease or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation or entity or person, or any other
corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than 50% of the Companys outstanding voting
power of the surviving entity (or its parent) following the consolidation, merger, or
reorganization or (iii) any transaction (or series of related transactions involving a person or
entity, or a group of affiliated persons or entities) in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of
the Companys outstanding voting power is transferred (individually, a Corporate Transaction),
then any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation shall assume any Stock Awards outstanding
under the Plan or shall substitute similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same
consideration paid to the stockholders in the Corporate Transaction for those outstanding under the
Plan). In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation refuses to assume such
Stock Awards or to substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding
11
under the Plan, then all Stock Awards outstanding shall terminate upon the consummation of the
Corporation Transaction.

(Incentive Stock Option or Nonstatutory Stock Option)
Pursuant to your Stock Option Grant Notice (Grant Notice) and this Stock Option Agreement
(Agreement), MX LOGIC, Inc. (the Company) has granted you an option under its 2002 Equity
Incentive Plan (the Plan) to purchase the number of shares of the Companys Common Stock
indicated in your Grant Notice at the exercise price indicated in your Grant Notice. Defined terms
not explicitly defined in this Stock Option Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same
definitions as in the Plan.
The details of your option are as follows:
1.
Vesting
. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your option will vest as
provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting will cease upon the termination of your
Continuous Service.
2.
Number of Shares and Exercise Price
. The number of shares of Common Stock subject
to your option and your exercise price per share referenced in your Grant Notice may be adjusted
from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments, as provided in the Plan.
3.
Method of Payment
. Payment of the exercise price is due in full upon exercise of
all or any part of your option. You may elect to make payment of the exercise price in cash or by
check or in any other manner
permitted by your Grant Notice
.
4.
Whole Shares
. You may exercise your option only for whole shares of Common Stock,
and any exercise shall be for not less than the lesser of (a) 1,000 shares or (b) 50% of Optionees
then-vested shares.
5.
Securities Law Compliance
. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, you may not exercise your option unless the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares of Common Stock are not
then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance would be exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exercise of your option must also comply
with other applicable laws and regulations governing your option, and you may not exercise your
option if the Company determines that such exercise would not be in material compliance with such
laws and regulations.
6.
Term
. You may not exercise your option before the commencement of its term or
after its term expires. The term of your option commences on the Date of Grant and expires upon
the
earliest
of the following:
(a)
one (1) month after the termination of your Continuous Service for any reason other than
your Disability or death, provided that if during any part of such one (1) month
1.
period your option is not exercisable solely because of the condition set forth in the
preceding paragraph relating to Securities Law Compliance, your option shall not expire until the
earlier of the Expiration Date or until it shall have been exercisable for an aggregate period of
one (1) month after the termination of your Continuous Service;
(b)
six (6) months after the termination of your Continuous Service due to your Disability;
(c)
six (6) months after your death if you die either during your Continuous Service or within
one (1) month after your Continuous Service terminates;
(d)
the Expiration Date indicated in your Grant Notice; or
(e)
the day before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Date of Grant.
If your option is an incentive stock option, note that, to obtain the federal income tax
advantages associated with an incentive stock option, the Code requires that at all times
beginning on the date of grant of your option and ending on the day three (3) months before the
date of your options exercise, you must be an employee of the Company or an Affiliate, except in
the event of your death or Disability. The Company has provided for extended exercisability of
your option under certain circumstances for your benefit but cannot guarantee that your option will
necessarily be treated as an incentive stock option if you continue to provide services to the
Company or an Affiliate as a Consultant or Director after your employment terminates or if you
otherwise exercise your option more than three (3) months after the date your employment
terminates.
7.
Exercise.
(a)
You may exercise the vested portion of your option during its term by delivering a Notice
of Exercise (in a form designated by the Company) together with the exercise price to the Secretary
of the Company, or to such other person as the Company may designate, during regular business
hours, together with such additional documents as the Company may then require.
(b)
By exercising your option you agree that, as a condition to any exercise of your option,
and if you are an employee of the Company, the Company may require you to enter into an arrangement
providing for the payment by you to the Company of any tax withholding obligation of the Company
arising by reason of (1) the exercise of your option, (2) the lapse of any substantial risk of
forfeiture to which the shares of Common Stock are subject at the time of exercise, or (3) the
disposition of shares of Common Stock acquired upon such exercise.
(c)
If your option is an incentive stock option, by exercising your option you agree that you
will notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date of any disposition of
any of the shares of the Common Stock issued upon exercise of your option that occurs within two
(2) years after the date of your option grant or within one (1) year after such shares of Common
Stock are transferred upon exercise of your option.
2.
(d)
By exercising your option you agree that the Company (or a representative of the
underwriter(s)) may, in connection with the first underwritten registration of the offering of any
securities of the Company under the Securities Act, require that you not sell, dispose of,
transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging
or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any shares of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company held by you, for a period of time specified by the underwriter(s)
following the effective date of the registration statement of the Company filed under the
Securities Act. You further agree to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be
reasonably requested by the Company and/or the underwriter(s) that are consistent with the
foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In order to enforce the foregoing
covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to your shares of Common
Stock until the end of such period. The underwriters of the Companys stock are intended third
party beneficiaries of this Section 7(d) and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce
the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.
8.
Transferability
. Your option is not transferable, except by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during your life only by you. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, you
may designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to
exercise your option.
9.
Right of First Refusal
.
(a)
Shares of Common Stock that you acquire upon exercise of your option are subject to a
right of first refusal in favor of the Company. Before you may transfer any shares of the Common
Stock that you acquire upon exercise of your option, you must deliver to the Company a written
notice (the Transfer Notice) in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit A
, stating: (i) your
bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer your Common Stock; (ii) the name, address and
phone number of each proposed purchaser or other transferee (Proposed Transferee); (iii) the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be transferred to each Proposed Transferee
(the Offered Shares); and (iv) the bona fide cash price or, in reasonable detail, other
consideration for which you propose to transfer the Offered Shares (Offered Price). For a period
of ten (10) days (the Initial Exercise Period) after the last date on which the Transfer Notice
is deemed to have been delivered to the Company, the Company shall have the right to purchase all
or any part of the Offered Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 9(b) and (c).
In order to exercise its right hereunder, the Company must deliver written notice to you within the
Initial Exercise Period stating its intent to exercise its rights hereunder and the number of
Offered Shares it desires to purchase pursuant to such right.
(b)
The purchase price for the Offered Shares to be purchased by the Company exercising its
Right of First Refusal under this Agreement shall be the Offered Price, and shall be payable as set
forth in Section 9(c). If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash
equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company in good faith, which determination shall be binding upon you and the Company, absent fraud
or error.
3.
(c)
Subject to compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws, the Company
exercising its Right of First Refusal must effect the purchase of all or any portion of the Offered
Shares, including the payment of the purchase price, within ten (10) days after the last date on
which the Transfer Notice is deemed to have been delivered to the Company (the Right of First
Refusal Closing). Payment of the purchase price shall be made, at the option of the Company, (i)
in cash (by check), (ii) by wire transfer or (iii) by cancellation of all or a portion of any
outstanding indebtedness you owe to the Company or (iv) by any combination of the foregoing. As
such Right of First Refusal Closing, you must deliver to the Company one or more certificates,
properly endorsed for transfer, representing such Offered Shares so purchased.
(d)
The term transfer includes any sale, assignment, encumbrance, hypothecation, pledge,
conveyance in trust, gift, transfer by bequest, devise or descent, or other transfer or disposition
of any kind, including but not limited to transfers to receivers, levying creditors, trustees or
receivers in bankruptcy proceedings or general assignees for the benefit of creditors, whether
voluntary or by operation of law, directly or indirectly, except:
(i) any transfers of your Common Stock to your spouse, ex-spouse, domestic partner,
lineal descendant or antecedent, brother or sister, your adopted child or adopted
grandchild, or the spouse or domestic partner of any child, adopted child, grandchild or
adopted grandchild, or to a trust or trusts for your exclusive benefit or those members of
your family specified above or transfers of Common Stock from you by devise of descent;
provided, that, in all cases, the transferee or other recipient executes a counterpart copy
of this Agreement and becomes bound thereby;
(ii) any transfer to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; and
(iii) any repurchase of your Common Stock by the Company pursuant to agreements under
which the Company has the option to repurchase your Common Stock upon the occurrence of
certain events, such as termination of employment, or in connection with the exercise by the
Company of any rights of first refusal.
(e)
The Transfer Notice must be sent by certified airmail, return receipt requested, or by
telex or telecopy (facsimile) with confirmation of receipt, and shall be deemed to be given when
receipt is so confirmed.
10.
Option not a Service Contract
. Your option is not an employment or service
contract, and nothing in your option shall be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation
on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or an Affiliate, or of the Company or an
Affiliate to continue your employment. In addition, nothing in your option shall obligate the
Company or an Affiliate, their respective stockholders, Boards of Directors, Officers or Employees
to continue any relationship that you might have as a Director or Consultant for the Company or an
Affiliate.
11.
Withholding Obligations.
(a)
At the time you exercise your option, in whole or in part, or at any time thereafter as
requested by the Company, and if you are an employee of the Company, you hereby authorize
withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree
4.
to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and
foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an Affiliate, if any, which arise in
connection with your option.
(b)
Upon your request and subject to approval by the Company, in its sole discretion, and
compliance with any applicable conditions or restrictions of law, the Company may withhold from
fully vested shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to you upon the exercise of your option a
number of whole shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value, determined by the Company as of
the date of exercise, not in excess of the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law.
Any adverse consequences to you arising in connection with such share withholding procedure shall
be your sole responsibility.
(c)
You may not exercise your option unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company
and/or any Affiliate are satisfied. Accordingly, you may not be able to exercise your option when
desired even though your option is vested, and the Company shall have no obligation to issue a
certificate for such shares of Common Stock or release such shares of Common Stock from any escrow
provided for herein.
12.
Notices
. Any notices provided for in your option or the Plan shall be given in
writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by
mail by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid,
addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.
13.
Governing Plan Document
. Your option is subject to all the provisions of the
Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your option, and is further subject to all
interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and
adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your option
and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
14.
Change of Control.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in
the event of (i) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into any other corporation or
entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Company
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, own less than 50% of the
Companys outstanding voting power of the surviving entity (or its parent) following the
consolidation, merger, or reorganization or (iii) any transaction (or series of related
transactions involving a person or entity, or a group of affiliated persons or entities) in which
in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Companys outstanding voting power is transferred
(individually, a Corporate Transaction), then any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation
shall assume the Stock Awards subject to the Grant Notice and this Agreement or shall substitute
similar stock awards (including an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the stockholders
in the Corporate Transaction). In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation
refuses to assume such Stock Awards or to substitute similar stock awards for those outstanding
under the Plan, then all Stock Awards outstanding shall terminate upon the consummation of the
Corporate Transaction.
