Item 4. Description of Securities

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Not Applicable.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Certificate of Incorporation of the Registrant limits the liability of its directors to the Registrant and its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the directors’ fiduciary duty. This provision is intended to afford the Registrant’s directors the benefit of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Delaware Law”), which provides that directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for liability for (i) any breach of their duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware Law, or (iv) any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

The Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Registrant require indemnification of the Registrant’s directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware Law. Section 145 of the Delaware Law authorizes indemnification by a Delaware corporation when a person is made a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, at the request of the corporation, and if such person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by him or her to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation. With respect to any criminal proceeding, such person must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. If it is determined that the conduct of such person meets these standards, he or she may be indemnified for expenses incurred and amounts paid in such proceeding (including attorneys’ fees) if actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith. If such a proceeding is brought by or on behalf of the Registrant, such person may be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by him or her to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Registrant. Where such person is adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, he or she is not entitled to indemnification unless and to the extent that the court allows such indemnification to such person for such expenses as the court deems proper. Where such person is successful in any such proceeding, he or she is entitled to be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her. In all other cases, indemnification is made by the Registrant upon determination by it that indemnification of such person is proper because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct.

The Registrant has also entered into contractual arrangements with its directors and officers pursuant to which such persons may be entitled to indemnity from the Registrant against certain liabilities arising from the discharge of their duties in such capacities.

The Registrant maintains an insurance policy for the benefit of its officers and directors, which may cover certain liabilities of such individuals to the Registrant and its stockholders.

Item 9. Undertakings

The 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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective 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, paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities 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.

(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 offering.

The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

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 Santa Ana, State of California on March 2, 2017.

Re: Iteris, Inc. - Registration Statement for Offering of 6,773,802 Shares of Common Stock

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Iteris, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation of a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the registration by the Company of 6,773,802 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Shares”), issuable under the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

In connection with this opinion letter, we have examined the Registration Statement and originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Plan and such other documents, records and other instruments as we have deemed appropriate for the purposes of the opinion set forth herein.

We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of the documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as certified, facsimile or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.

Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by the Company and, when issued and sold by the Company (and the consideration therefore received) in the manner and on the terms described in the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

The opinion expressed herein is limited to Delaware General Corporation Law.

We hereby consent to the use of this opinion letter as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not hereby admit that we are acting within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act, or the rules or regulations of the Commission thereunder.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP

Exhibit 99.2

ITERIS, INC.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT ISSUANCE AGREEMENT

RECITALS

A. The Board has adopted the Plan for the purpose of retaining the services of selected Employees, non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary and consultants and other independent advisors in the service of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

B. The Participant 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 issuance of an equity incentive award under the Plan to the Participant.

C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in Paragraph 15.

NOW, THEREFORE , it is hereby agreed as follows:

1. Grant of RSUs . The Corporation hereby grants to the Participant, as of the Grant Date, an award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Plan (the “Award”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of Common Stock (the “Share”) on the specified issuance date following the vesting of that RSU. The number of RSUs subject to the Award, the applicable vesting schedule for those RSUs, the date on which Shares underlying those vested RSUs shall become issuable to the Participant and the remaining terms and conditions governing the Award shall be as set forth in this Agreement.

AWARD SUMMARY

Grant Date:

Number of RSUs
Subject to Award:

Vesting Schedule:		[ For employees: The RSUs shall vest in a series of four (4) equal, successive, annual installments upon the Participant’s completion of each year of Service over the four (4)-year period measured from the Grant Date.] [ For Board members: The RSUs shall vest upon the Participant’s completion of one (1) year of Service measured from the Grant Date.]

Issuance Schedule:

The Shares underlying the RSUs in which the Participant vests in accordance with the vesting schedule above shall be issued, subject to the Corporation’s collection of all applicable Withholding Taxes, on the date those particular RSUs vest or as soon after that scheduled vesting date as administratively practicable, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such vesting date occurs or (ii) the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following such vesting date (the “Issue Date”). The issuance of the Shares shall be subject to the Corporation’s collection of all applicable Withholding Taxes. The procedures pursuant to which the applicable Withholding Taxes are to be collected are set forth in Paragraph 7 of this Agreement.

2. Limited Transferability . Prior to the actual issuance of the Shares pursuant to RSUs which vest hereunder, the Participant may not transfer any interest in the Award or the underlying Shares; provided, however, any Shares issuable pursuant to vested RSUs hereunder but which otherwise remain unissued at the time of the Participant’s death may be transferred pursuant to the provisions of the Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance or to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of this Award. The Participant may also direct the Corporation to issue stock certificates for any Shares which become issuable hereunder to one or more designated Family Members or a trust established for the Participant and/or his or her Family Members. The Participant may make a beneficiary designation or certificate directive for this Award at any time by filing the appropriate form with the Plan Administrator or its designee.

3. Cessation of Service . Should the Participant cease Service for any reason prior to vesting in one or more RSUs subject to this Award, then the Award will be immediately cancelled with respect to those unvested RSUs, and the number of RSUs will be reduced accordingly. The Participant shall thereupon cease to have any right or entitlement to receive any Shares under those cancelled RSUs.

4. Stockholder Rights . The Participant shall not have any stockholder rights, including voting or dividend rights, with respect to the Shares underlying the RSUs subject to the Award until the Participant becomes the record holder of those Shares following their actual issuance upon the Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes.

5. Change in Control .

(a) Any RSUs subject to this Award at the time of a Change in Control may, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, be (i) assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (ii) canceled and substituted with an award granted by the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (iii) otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (iv) replaced with a cash retention program of the Corporation or any successor corporation (or parent thereof) which preserves the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares at the time of the Change in Control and provides for subsequent payout of that value in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in Paragraph 1.

(b) To the extent the Award is not assumed, substituted, continued or replaced in accordance with Paragraph 5(a), the RSUs then subject to this Award shall automatically vest in full upon the closing of the Change in Control. The Shares subject to those vested RSUs will be issued immediately at that time or as soon as administratively practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) business days after such closing.

(c) The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to provide that any escrow, holdback, earn-out or similar provisions in the definitive agreement effecting the Change in Control shall apply to any cash payment made under any cash retention program described in subsection (a) above to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions apply to a holder of a Share.

(d) Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, this Award shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.

(e) If the Award is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect, then the RSUs subject to the Award shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which the Shares subject to those RSUs immediately prior to the Change in Control would have been converted in consummation of such Change in Control had those Shares actually been issued and outstanding at that time. To the extent that the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation (or parent thereof) may in connection with the assumption or continuation of this Award and subject to the Plan Administrator’s approval, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control, provided such common stock is readily traded on an established U.S. securities market.

(f) 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.

6. Adjustment in Shares . Should any change be made to the outstanding Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, or should the value of outstanding shares of Common Stock be substantially reduced as a result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, or should there occur any merger, consolidation, reincorporation or other reorganization, then equitable adjustments shall be made to the total number and/or class of securities issuable pursuant to this Award in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate in order to reflect such change , and those adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive.

7. Withholding of Taxes .

(a) Upon the applicable Issue Date, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of the Participant a certificate (which may be in electronic form) for the applicable number of Shares, subject, however, to the Corporation’s collection of the applicable Withholding Taxes. The Corporation shall have the right to require the Participant to pay to the Corporation the amount of any Withholding Taxes in respect of the Shares or to take whatever action it deems necessary to protect the interests of the Corporation in respect of such Withholding Tax liabilities, in accordance with this Paragraph 7.

(b) If the Participant is not a Section 16 Officer at the time such obligation for Withholding Taxes arises, the Participant may elect to satisfy all or a portion of the Corporation’s obligation for Withholding Taxes in one or more of the following forms:

(i) in cash or check made payable to the Corporation;

(ii) by requesting that the Corporation withhold from the Shares otherwise deliverable to the Participant a number of whole Shares having a Fair Market Value as of the Issue Date, not in excess of the amount of such Withholding Taxes determined by using the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates, or such other amount or rate determined by the Corporation (the “Share Withholding Method”); or

(iii) subject to compliance with applicable law and the Corporation’s insider trading policies, from proceeds of a same day or next-day sale of a portion of the Shares effected by the Corporation’s designated broker; the Participant’s acceptance of the Award shall constitute the Participant’s authorization to the broker to effect such sale.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation’s obligations for Withholding Taxes are not satisfied by the Participant prior to the date on which the obligation for Withholding Taxes arises, and the Participant is not a Section 16 Officer at such time, the Corporation may satisfy the Corporation’s obligation for Withholding Taxes using the Share Withholding Method without further action by the Participant.

(c) If the Participant is a Section 16 Officer at the time such obligation for Withholding Taxes arises, the Corporation shall satisfy the Corporation’s obligation for Withholding Taxes using the Share Withholding Method.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Paragraph 7, the employee portion of the federal, state and local employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation in connection with the vesting of the RSUs (the “Employment Taxes”) shall in all events be collected from the Participant no later than the last business day of the calendar year in which the RSUs vest hereunder. Accordingly, to the extent the Issue Date for one or more vested RSUs is to occur in a year subsequent to the calendar year in which those RSUs vest, the Participant shall, on or before the last business day of the calendar year in which the RSUs

vest, deliver to the Corporation a check payable to its order in the dollar amount equal to the Employment Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those RSUs. The provisions of this Paragraph 7(d) shall be applicable only to the extent necessary to comply with the applicable tax withholding requirements of Code Section 3121(v).

(e) Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 5, the settlement of all RSUs which vest under the Award shall be made solely in shares of Common Stock. In no event, however, shall any fractional Shares be issued. Accordingly, the total number of Shares to be issued pursuant to the Award shall, to the extent necessary, be rounded down to the next whole Share in order to avoid the issuance of a fractional Share.

8. Compliance with Laws and Regulations .

(a) The issuance of Shares pursuant to the Award shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and the Participant with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any Stock Exchange on which the Common Stock may be listed for trading at the time of such 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 Award 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.

9. Successors and Assigns . Except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation and its successors and assigns and the Participant, the Participant’s assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Participant’s estate and any beneficiaries of the Award designated by the Participant.

10. 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 the Participant shall be in writing and addressed to the Participant at the address indicated below the Participant’s signature line on this Agreement. 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.

11. Construction . This Agreement and the Award 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 Award. To the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether any provision of this Agreement would otherwise contravene one or more applicable requirements or limitations of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, such provision shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that complies with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury

Regulations thereunder. For purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment distribution of Shares (or other installment distribution hereunder) shall be treated as a separate payment, and the Participant’s right to receive each such installment of shares (or other installment distribution hereunder) shall accordingly be treated as a right to receive a series of separate payments.

12. 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.

13. Stockholder Approval . If the Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan as last approved by the stockholders, then this Award 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.

14. Employment at Will . Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant 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 the Participant) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

RECITALS

C. All capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to them in Paragraph 18.

NOW, THEREFORE , it is hereby agreed as follows:

1. Grant of Option . The Corporation hereby grants to the Participant, 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 or 6.

3. Limited Transferability . This option, together with the Option Shares during the period prior to exercise, shall be neither transferable nor assignable by the Participant other than by will or the laws of inheritance following the Participant’s death and may be exercised, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant.

4. Dates of Exercise . This option shall become exercisable for the Option Shares in one or more installments in accordance with the Exercise Schedule set forth 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 or 6.

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:

(a) Should the Participant cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than death, Permanent Disability or Misconduct) while this option is outstanding, then the Participant 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.

(b) Should the Participant die while this option is outstanding, then the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of inheritance following the Participant’s death shall have the right to exercise this option. Any such right to exercise this option 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 the Participant’s death or (ii) the Expiration Date.

(c) Should the Participant cease Service by reason of Permanent Disability while this option is outstanding, then the Participant shall have a period of twelve (12) months (commencing with the date of such cessation of Service) during which to exercise this option. In no event shall this option be exercisable at any time after the Expiration Date.

(d) During the limited period of post-Service exercisability, this option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of Option Shares for which this option is, at the time of the Participant’s cessation of Service, exercisable pursuant to the Exercise Schedule specified in the Grant Notice or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6. This option shall not become exercisable for any additional Option Shares, whether pursuant to the normal Exercise Schedule specified in the Grant Notice or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Paragraph 6, following the Participant’s cessation of Service, except to the extent (if any) specifically authorized by the Plan Administrator pursuant to an express written agreement with the Participant. 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 Option Shares for which the option has not been exercised.

(e) Should the Participant’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should the Participant otherwise engage in Misconduct while this option is outstanding, then this option shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.

6. Change in Control .

(a) Should a Change in Control occur during the Participant’s period of Service, then this option may, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion, be (i) assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (ii) canceled and substituted with an award granted by the successor corporation (or parent thereof), (iii) otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (iv) replaced with a cash retention program of the Corporation or any successor corporation (or parent thereof) which preserves the spread existing on the Option Shares for which this option is not exercisable at the time of the Change in Control (the excess of the Fair Market Value of those shares over the aggregate Exercise Price payable for such shares) and provides for subsequent payout of that spread in accordance with the same Exercise Schedule applicable to those Option Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such cash retention program shall be established for this option (or any other option granted to the Participant under the Plan) to the extent such program would otherwise be deemed to constitute a deferred compensation arrangement subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(b) To the extent this option is not assumed, substituted, continued or replaced in accordance with Paragraph 6(a), this option shall automatically vest in full so that this option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control, become exercisable for all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to this option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully-vested shares of Common Stock, unless such accelerated vesting is otherwise precluded pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 5(d) above. The Plan Administrator in its sole discretion shall have the authority to provide that to the extent this option, as so accelerated, remains unexercised and outstanding on the effective date of the Change in Control, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and in consideration thereof the Participant shall become entitled to receive, upon consummation of the Change in Control and subject to subsection (c), a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to the product of (i) number of shares of Common Stock subject to this option and (ii) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of the Change in Control over (B) the per share Exercise Price. However, this option shall be subject to cancellation and termination, without cash payment or other consideration due the Participant, if the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of such Change in Control is less than the per share Exercise Price.

(c) The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to provide that any escrow, holdback, earn-out or similar provisions in the definitive agreement effecting the Change in Control shall apply to any cash payment made under subsection (a) or (b) above to the same extent and in the same manner as such provisions apply to a holder of a share of Common Stock.

(d) Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, this option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.

(e) If this option is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect, then this option shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Participant in consummation of such Change in Control, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Change in Control, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the Exercise Price, provided the aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same. To the extent that the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation (or parent thereof) may in connection with the assumption or continuation of this option and subject to the Plan Administrator’s approval, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control, provided such common stock is readily traded on an established U.S. securities market.

7. Adjustment to Option Shares . Should any change be made to the outstanding Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, or should the value of outstanding shares of Common Stock be substantially reduced as a result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, or should there occur any merger, consolidation, reincorporation or other reorganization, then equitable adjustments shall be made to (i) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this option and (ii) the Exercise Price. The adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate in order to reflect such change, and those adjustments shall be final, binding and conclusive.

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 the record holder of the purchased shares.

9. Manner of Exercising Option .

(a) In order to exercise this option with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares, the Participant (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the following actions:

(i) Execute and deliver to the Corporation a Notice of Exercise, or comply with such procedures as the Corporation may establish for notifying the Corporation of the exercise of the option, 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;

(B) in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date and held for the period (if any) necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes; or

(C) through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Participant shall concurrently provide instructions (A) to a brokerage firm (with such brokerage firm reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for purposes of administering such procedure in compliance with the Corporation’s pre-clearance or pre-notification policies) 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 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 on the settlement date 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 Notice of Exercise 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 the Participant) have the right to exercise this option.

(iv) Make appropriate arrangements with the Corporation (or Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining the Participant) for the satisfaction of all applicable tax withholding requirements applicable to the option exercise.

(v) As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Corporation shall issue to or on behalf of the Participant (or any other person or persons exercising this option) a certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the appropriate legends affixed thereto.

(b) In no event may this option be exercised for any fractional shares.

10. 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 the Participant with all applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable regulations of any Stock Exchange 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.

11. 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 the Participant, the Participant’s assigns and the legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Participant’s estate.

12. 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 the Participant shall be in writing and addressed to the Participant at the address indicated below the Participant’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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Stockholder Approval . If the Option Shares covered by this Agreement exceed, as of the Grant Date, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under the Plan as last approved by the stockholders, 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.

16. 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 the Participant ceases to be an Employee for any reason other than death or Permanent Disability or (ii) more than twelve (12) months after the date the Participant ceases to be an Employee by reason of Permanent Disability.

(b) No installment under this option shall qualify for favorable tax treatment as an Incentive Option if (and to the extent) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the Grant Date) of the Common Stock for which such installment first becomes exercisable hereunder would, when added to the aggregate value (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) of the Common Stock or other securities for which this option or any other Incentive Options granted to the Participant 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. Should such One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation be exceeded in any calendar year, this option shall nevertheless become exercisable for the excess shares in such calendar year as a Non-Statutory Option.

(c) Should the Participant 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 for purposes of the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Options, this option and each of those other options shall be deemed to become first exercisable in that calendar year on the basis of the chronological order in which they were granted, except to the extent otherwise provided under applicable law or regulation.

17. Employment at Will . Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant 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 the Participant) or of the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly

reserved by each, to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.
