Board may, at any time, appoint additional members to the
Committee, remove and replace members of the Committee with or
without Cause, and fill vacancies on the Committee however

(i) Except for the terms and conditions explicitly
set forth in this Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in
its discretion, to determine all matters relating to each Award to
be granted under the Plan, including selection of the individuals
to be granted Awards, the establishment and modification of
criteria for Awards, and all other terms and conditions of the
Awards. Awards granted under the Plan need not be identical in any
respect, even when made simultaneously. The Committee shall have
the power to adopt, amend and waive such rules and regulations as
it deems necessary or convenient for the administration of the
Plan. Any decision with respect to the Plan, or the interpretation
and construction by the Committee of any terms or provisions of the
Plan or any Award issued under the Plan, or of any rule or
regulation promulgated in connection herewith, shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all persons. The validity of any such
interpretation, construction, decision or finding of fact shall not
be given de novo review if challenged in court, by arbitration, or
in any other forum, and shall be upheld unless clearly made in bad
faith or materially affected by fraud.
(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee
also shall have the authority to require, in its discretion, as a
condition of the granting of any Award, that the Participant agree
(A) not to sell or otherwise dispose of any Shares acquired
pursuant to the Award for a period to be determined by the
Committee and (B) that in the event of termination of employment of
such Participant, other than as a result of dismissal without
Cause, such Participant will not, for a period to be fixed at the
time of the grant of the Award, enter into any employment or
participate directly or indirectly in any business or enterprise
which is competitive with the business of the Company or any
subsidiary or parent of the Company, or enter into any employment
in which such Employee will be called upon to utilize special
knowledge obtained through employment with the Company or any
subsidiary or parent company thereof.

Committee . The
Committee may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents as
it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may

counsel, consultant or agent shall be paid by the
Company.

corporation” within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code,
and may grant all other Awards to any Eligible Person.
6.
Effective
Date . The Plan
shall become effective on the date (the “Effective
Date”) on which it is adopted by the Committee; provided,
however, that no Incentive Stock Option may vest or be exercised
until the Plan is approved by a vote of the stockholders of the
Company. If the stockholders fail to approve the Plan within twelve
(12) months after the Effective Date, any Incentive Stock Options
granted hereunder shall terminate.
(a) Types; Documentation . Subject to Section 5, the Committee may in its
discretion grant Options which shall be designated in the Award
Agreement as an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Stock
Option. At the sole discretion of the Committee, any Option may be
exercisable, in whole or in part, immediately upon the grant
thereof, or only after the occurrence of a specified event, or only
in installments, which installments may vary. Options granted under
the Plan may contain such terms and provisions not inconsistent
with the Plan that the Committee shall deem advisable in its sole
and absolute discretion.
(b) Exercise Price . The exercise price of an Option shall be
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion and shall be set
forth in the Award Agreement, provided that -
(i) if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to an
Employee who on the grant date is a Ten Percent Holder, the per
Share exercise price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market
Value per Share on the Grant Date; and
(ii) for all other Options, such per Share exercise
price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per
Share on the Grant Date.
(c) $100,000 Limitation .
The aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which
Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an
Employee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000,
determined as of the time, and in the order, such Incentive Stock
Options were granted. In the event that Section 422 of the Code is
amended to alter the limitation set forth therein, the limitation
of this Section 7(c) shall be automatically adjusted
accordingly.
(d)
Term of
Options . Each
Award Agreement shall specify a term at the end of which the Option
automatically expires, subject to earlier termination provisions
contained in Section 7(f); provided, that, the term of any Option
may in no event exceed ten (10) years from the Grant Date. In the
case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who is a
Ten Percent Holder on the Grant Date, the term of the Incentive
Stock Option shall in no event exceed five (5) years from the Grant
Date.
(e)
Methods of
exercise . Prior to
its expiration pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award
Agreement, each Option may be exercised in whole or in part
(provided that the Company shall not be required to issue
fractional shares), by delivery of written notice of exercise to
the Company or its designee accompanied by the full exercise price
of the Shares being purchased. In the case of an Incentive Stock
Option, the Committee shall determine the acceptable methods of
payment on the Grant Date and it shall be included in the
applicable Award Agreement. The methods of payment that the
Committee may in its discretion accept or commit to accept
include:
(i) cash or check payable to the Company;
(ii) other Shares that (A) are owned by the
Participant who is purchasing Shares pursuant to an Option,
(B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to
the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which the Option
is being exercised, (C) are all, at the time of such
surrender, free and clear of any and all claims, pledges, liens and
encumbrances, or any restrictions which would in any manner
restrict the transfer of such shares to or by the Company (other
than such restrictions as may have existed prior to an issuance of
such Shares by the Company to such Participant), and (D) are
duly endorsed for transfer to the Company;
(iii) by having the Company retain from the Shares
otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option, a number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal, as of the date of exercise, to
the aggregate exercise price for the number of Shares as to which
the Option is being exercised; or
(iv) a cashless exercise program that the Committee
may approve, from time to time in its discretion, pursuant to which
a Participant may concurrently provide irrevocable instructions
(A) to such Participant’s broker or dealer to effect the
immediate sale of the purchased Shares and remit to the Company,
out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date,
sufficient funds to cover the exercise price of the Option plus all
applicable taxes required to be withheld by the Company by reason
of such exercise, and (B) to the Company to deliver the
certificates for the purchased Shares directly to such broker or
dealer in order to complete the sale; or
(v) any combination of the foregoing methods of
payment.
The Company
shall not be required to deliver Shares pursuant to an exercise of
an Option until payment of the full exercise price therefore is
received by the Company.
(f)
Termination of Continuous
Service . The Committee may establish and set forth in the
applicable Award Agreement the terms and conditions on which an
Option shall remain exercisable, if at all, following termination
of a Participant’s Continuous Service. The Committee may
waive or modify these provisions at any time. To the extent that a
Participant is not entitled to exercise an Option at the date of
his or her termination of Continuous Service, or if the Participant
(or other person entitled to exercise the Option) does not exercise
the Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified in
the Award Agreement or below (as applicable), the Option shall
terminate and the Shares underlying the unexercised portion of the
Option shall revert to the Plan and become available for future
Awards. In no event may any Option be exercised after the
expiration of the Option term as set forth in the Award
Agreement.
The following
provisions shall apply to the extent an Award Agreement does not
specify the terms and conditions upon which an Option shall
terminate when there is a termination of a Participant’s
Continuous Service:
(i) Termination other than Upon Disability or Death
or for Cause . In the
event of termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service
(other than as a result of Participant’s death, disability or
termination for Cause), the Participant shall have the right to
exercise an Option at any time within 90 days following such
termination to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise
such Option at the date of such termination.
(ii) Disability . In the event of termination of a
Participant’s Continuous Service as a result of his or her
being Disabled, the Participant shall have the right to exercise an
Option at any time within one year following such termination to
the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option at
the date of such termination.
(iii) Death . In the event of the death of a Participant
during the period of Continuous Service since the date of grant of
an Option, or within thirty days following termination of the
Participant’s Continuous Service, the Option may be
exercised, at any time within one year following the date of the
Participant’s death, by the Participant’s estate or by
a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest
or inheritance, but only to the extent the right to exercise the
Option had vested at the date of death or, if earlier, the date the
Participant’s Continuous Service terminated.
8.
Stock Appreciation
Rights .
(a)
Grant
. The Committee may in its
discretion grant Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to
any Eligible Person pursuant to Award Agreements in any of the
following forms:
(i) SARs related to Options . The Committee may grant SARs either
concurrently with the grant of an Option or with respect to an
outstanding Option, in which case the SAR shall extend to all or a
portion of the Shares covered by the related Option. A SAR shall
entitle the Participant who holds the related Option, upon exercise
of the SAR and surrender of the related Option, or portion thereof,
to the extent the SAR and related Option each were previously
unexercised, to receive payment of an amount determined pursuant to
Section 8(e) below. Any SAR granted in connection with an Incentive
Stock Option will contain such terms as may be required to comply
with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.
(ii) SARs independent of Options
. The Committee may grant SARs which are
independent of any Option subject to such conditions as the
Committee may in its discretion determine, which conditions will be
set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
(iii) Limited SARs . The Committee may grant SARs exercisable only
upon or in respect of a Change in Control or any other specified
event, and such limited SARs may relate to or operate in tandem or
combination with or substitution for Options or other SARs, or on a
stand-alone basis, and may be payable in cash or Shares based on
the spread between the exercise price of the SAR, and (A) a
price based upon or equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares
during a specified period, at a specified time within a specified
period before, after or including the date of such event, or
(B) a price related to consideration payable to the
Company’s shareholders generally in connection with the
event.
(b)
Exercise
Price . The
per Share exercise price of a SAR shall be determined in the sole
discretion of the Committee, shall be set forth in the applicable
Award Agreement, and shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market
Value of one Share. The exercise price of a SAR related to an
Option shall be the same as the exercise price of the related
Option.
(c)
Exercise of
SARs . Unless the Award Agreement otherwise provides, a
SAR related to an Option will be exercisable at such time or times,
and to the extent, that the related Option will be exercisable. A
SAR may not have a term exceeding ten years from its Grant Date. A
SAR granted independently of any other Award will be exercisable
pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement. Whether a SAR is
related to an Option or is granted independently, the SAR may only
be exercised when the Fair Market Value of the Shares underlying
the SAR exceeds the exercise price of the SAR.
(d)
Effect on Available
Shares .
All SARs that may be settled in Shares of the
Company’s stock shall be counted in full against the number
of Shares available for award under the Plan, regardless of the
number of shares actually issued upon settlement of the
SARs.
(e)
Payment
. Upon exercise of a SAR related to
an Option and the attendant surrender of an exercisable portion of
any related Award, the Participant will be entitled to receive
payment of an amount determined by multiplying —
(i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share
on the date of exercise of the SAR over the exercise price per
Share of the SAR, by
(ii) the number of Shares with respect to which
the SAR has been exercised.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a SAR granted independently of an Option
(i) may limit the amount payable to the Participant to a
percentage, specified in the Award Agreement but not exceeding
one-hundred percent (100%), of the amount determined pursuant to
the preceding sentence, and (ii) shall be subject to any
payment or other restrictions that the Committee may at any time
impose in its discretion, including restrictions intended to
conform the SARs with Section 409A of the Code.
(f)
Form and Terms of
Payment . Subject to Applicable Law, the Committee may, in
its sole discretion, settle the amount determined under Section
8(e) above solely in cash, solely in Shares (valued at their Fair
Market Value on the date of exercise of the SAR), or partly in cash
and partly in Shares, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.
Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, all SARs shall be
settled in Shares as soon as practicable after exercise.
(g)
Termination of employment or
consulting relationship . The
Committee shall establish and set forth in the applicable Award
Agreement the terms and conditions on which a SAR shall remain
exercisable, if at all, following termination of a
Participant’s Continuous Service. The provisions of Section
7(f) above shall apply to the extent an Award Agreement does not
specify the terms and conditions upon which a SAR shall terminate
when there is a termination of a Participant’s Continuous
Service.
9.
Restricted Shares, Restricted
Share Units and Unrestricted Shares
.
(a)
Grants
. The Committee may in its sole discretion grant
restricted shares (“ Restricted Shares ”) to
any Eligible Person and shall evidence such grant in an Award
Agreement that sets forth the number of Restricted Shares, the
purchase price for such Restricted Shares (if any), and the terms
upon which the Restricted Shares may become vested. In addition,
the Company may in its discretion grant to any Eligible Person the
right to receive Shares after certain vesting requirements are met
(“ Restricted Share Units ”), and shall
evidence such grant in an Award Agreement that sets forth the
number of Shares (or formula, that may be based on future
performance or conditions, for determining the number of Shares)
that the Participant shall be entitled to receive upon vesting and
the terms upon which the Shares subject to a Restricted Share Unit
may become vested. The Committee may condition any Award of
Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units to a Participant on
receiving from the Participant such further assurances and
documents as the Committee may require to enforce the restrictions.
In addition, the Committee may grant Awards hereunder in the form
of unrestricted shares (“ Unrestricted Shares
”), which shall vest in full upon the Grant Date or such
other date as the Committee may determine or which the Committee
may issue pursuant to any program under which one or more Eligible
Persons (selected by the Committee in its sole discretion) elect to
pay for such Shares or to receive Unrestricted Shares in
lieu of cash bonuses that would otherwise be paid.
