retain and reward key employees of Adobe Systems Incorporated and
any successor corporation thereto (collectively referred to as the

(a)
Administration by

Plan shall be administered by one or more committees (individually,

individuals who are subject to the provisions of Section 16 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act” ), or who are divisional officers of the
Participating Company Group, the Plan shall be administered by a
Committee consisting of not less than two directors each of whom is
both (i) a “Non-Employee Director” within the meaning
of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or any successor rule (
“Rule 16b-3” ) and (ii) an “outside
director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code and the
regulations promulgated thereunder. The Committee shall have
all of the powers vested in it by the terms of the Plan, subject to
the limitations described herein, including the full and final
authority in its sole discretion to:
(i)
select the eligible persons to whom
(a “Participant” ), and the time at which,
awards shall be granted under the Plan;
(ii)
determine type of award granted and
the number of shares of stock, units or other consideration subject
to awards (which need not be identical);
(iii)
determine the terms and conditions
of each award granted, including, without limitation, the terms of
vesting, if any, the effect of a Participant’s
termination
1
of employment with the Participating
Company Group, the method for satisfaction of any tax withholding
obligation arising in connection with any award, and all other
terms and conditions of the award not inconsistent with the terms
of the Plan;
(iv)
determine the performance goals and
other conditions, if any, for the settlement of any award and
whether such goals and conditions have been satisfied;
(v)
determine whether an award shall be
paid in cash, in shares of stock or in any combination
thereof;
(vi)
determine whether payment of an
award should be reduced or eliminated;
(vii)
modify or amend any award, or waive
any restrictions or conditions applicable to any award;
(viii)
accelerate, continue, extend or
defer the payment or vesting of any award, including with respect
to the period following a Participant’s termination of
employment with the Participating Company Group;
(ix)
determine the fair market value of
the common stock of the Company;
(x)
authorize any person to execute on
behalf of the Company any instrument required to effectuate the
grant of an award;
(xi)
prescribe, amend or rescind rules,
regulations and policies relating to the Plan;
(xii)
approve one or more forms of
agreement for use under the Plan;
(xiii)
construe and interpret the Plan and
any agreement used under the Plan and define the terms employed
herein and therein;
(xiv)
make all other determinations and
take such other action with respect to the Plan and any award
granted hereunder as the Committee may deem advisable, to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding upon
all persons having an interest in the Plan or any award granted
under the Plan.
(b)
Authority of Officers
. Any officer of a
Participating Company shall have the authority to act on behalf of
the Company with respect to any matter, right, obligation, or
election which is the responsibility of or which is allocated to
the Company herein, provided the officer has apparent authority
with respect to such matter, right, obligation, or
election.

3.
Eligibility
. Key employees of the
Participating Company Group are eligible to participate in the
Plan. The Committee shall, in the Committee’s sole
discretion, determine which individuals shall be granted awards
under the Plan.
4.
Shares Subject to Plan
. Shares issued pursuant to
the Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares of the common
stock of the Company (the “Stock” ).
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 5, the maximum number
of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan is 16,000,000
(reflecting Stock splits on October 26, 1999, October 24,
2000 and May 23, 2005). In the event that any award
granted under the Plan denominated in shares for any reason expires
or is canceled, terminated or paid in cash, or shares of Stock
subject to forfeiture are forfeited to the Company, the shares
allocable to such award or such forfeited shares shall again be
available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such shares shall be made subject to a new award
only if the grant of such new award and the issuance of such shares
pursuant to such new award would not cause the Plan or any award
granted under the Plan to contravene Rule 16b-3.
5.
Adjustments for Changes in
Capital Structure .
Appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of
shares of Stock subject to the Plan, in the maximum number of
shares set forth in Section 7(f), and to any awards outstanding
under the Plan, other than Performance Units (as defined below), in
the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split,
recapitalization, combination, reclassification or like change in
the capital structure of the Company. In the event a majority
of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are
subject to outstanding awards under the Plan are exchanged for,
converted into, or otherwise become shares of another corporation
(the “New Shares” ), the Company may
unilaterally amend outstanding awards to provide that such awards
may be settled in New Shares. In the event of any such
amendment, the number of shares shall be adjusted in a fair and
equitable manner. Any and all new, substituted or additional
shares or Performance Shares (as defined below) received by a
Participant pursuant to this Section 5 will be subject to the
applicable restrictions set forth in the agreement evidencing an
award as if such shares or Performance Shares were part of the
original award.
6.
Term of Plan
. The Plan shall continue in
effect until terminated by the Board or Committee or until all of
the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan have been
issued and all restrictions on such shares under the terms of the
Plan and the agreements evidencing such awards have
lapsed.
7.
Performance Awards
.
(a)
Types of Performance
Awards . The
Committee may from time to time grant awards under this Section 7 (
“Performance Awards” ) which are
Performance-Based Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, or
Performance Units. Performance Awards shall be evidenced by
written agreements, in such form as the Committee shall from time
to time establish (each an “Award Agreement” ),
specifying the number of shares of Stock or the dollar amount
covered thereby, the performance goals established by the
Committee, the period in which such goals are to be met and the
other terms, conditions and restrictions of the award, which Award
Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by
reference. The
3
Committee shall not require a
Participant to make any monetary payment (other than applicable tax
withholding) as a condition of receiving a Performance
Award.
(i)
“Performance-Based Restricted Stock”
shall mean shares of Stock awarded
to a Participant which, in accordance with rules established by the
Committee prior to the grant of such award, are subject to
forfeiture in full or in part or with respect to which additional
shares of Stock may be granted on the basis of the degree of
attainment of Performance Goals (as defined below) within a
Performance Period (as defined below). Shares of
Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in such
manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including by
book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock
certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of shares of
Performance-Based Restricted Stock shall be registered in the name
of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring
to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such
award. The Committee may require that such certificates be
held in the custody of the Company or other escrow agent until the
restrictions thereon lapse.
(ii)
“Performance Shares” shall mean bookkeeping units, denominated in
shares of Stock, awarded to a Participant which, in accordance with
rules established by the Committee prior to the grant of such
award, are subject to forfeiture in full or in part or with respect
to which additional shares of Stock may be granted on the basis of
the degree of attainment of Performance Goals (as defined below)
within a Performance Period (as defined below).
(iii)
“Performance Units” shall mean bookkeeping units, denominated in
dollar amounts, awarded to a Participant which, in accordance with
rules established by the Committee prior to the grant of such
award, are subject to forfeiture in full or in part or with respect
to which additional such units may be granted on the basis of the
degree of attainment of Performance Goals (as defined below) within
a Performance Period (as defined below).
(b)
Performance Goals and Performance
Period . Unless
otherwise permitted in compliance with the requirements of Section
162(m) of the Code with respect to “performance-based
compensation,” the Committee shall establish with respect to
one or more of the Performance Factors set forth below the target
levels of attainment of such Performance Factors (collectively,
“Performance Goals” ) which, when measured at
the end of the Performance Period (as defined below), in accordance
with the Performance Award Formula (as defined below), shall
determine the number of shares of Stock, if any, which shall become
nonforfeitable and/or issuable with respect to such Performance
Award or the dollar amount, if any, payable with respect to such
Performance Award, and such Committee actions shall occur no later
than the earlier of (i) the date ninety (90) days after the
commencement of the applicable Performance Period or (ii) the date
on which 25% of the Performance Period has elapsed, and, in any
event, at a time when the outcome of the Performance Goals remains
substantially uncertain. Once established, the Performance
Goals and the Performance Award Formula (as defined below) shall
not be changed during the Performance Period. The Award
Agreement shall set forth the applicable Performance Goals,
Performance Award Formula, Performance Period, and the number of
shares of Stock or dollar amount, as the case may be, which may be
earned by the Participant upon the attainment of the Performance
Goals at the end of the Performance Period.

(i)
“Performance
Factors” shall have
the same meanings as used in the Company’s financial
statements, or, if such terms are not used in the Company’s
financial statements, they shall have the meanings applied pursuant
to generally accepted accounting principles, or as used generally
in the Company’s industry. Performance Factors shall be
calculated with
