In the event an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her 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 as is specified in the Option Agreement (and in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate. In the absence of a provision to the contrary in the individual Optionholder’s Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service.

        6.8         Extension of Termination Date. An Optionholder’s Option Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service (other than upon the Optionholder’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in the Option Agreement and (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3) months after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements or other applicable securities law. The provisions of this Section 6.8 notwithstanding, in the event that a sale of the shares of Common Stock received upon exercise of his or her Option would subject the Optionholder to liability under Section 16(b) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act, then the Option will terminate on the earlier of (1) the fifteenth (15th) day after the last date upon which such sale would result in liability, or (2) two hundred ten (210) days following the date of termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service (and in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option).

        6.9         Disability of Optionholder. In the event that an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s Disability, the Optionholder may exercise his or her 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 as is specified in the Option Agreement (and in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If, after termination, the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate. In the absence of a provision to the contrary in the individual Optionholder’s Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following such termination.

        6.10         Death of Optionholder. In the event (i) an Optionholder’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s death or (ii) the Optionholder dies within the post-termination exercise period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for a reason other than death, then, subject to the terms of the applicable Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Optionholder’s 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 Optionholder’s death pursuant to Section 6.4 or 6.5 of the Plan, but only within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (and in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If, after death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate. In the absence of a provision to the contrary in the individual Optionholder’s Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionholder’s death.



A-11

        6.11         Termination of Unvested Options. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Option Agreement, any Option or portion thereof that is not vested at the time of termination of Continuous Service shall lapse and terminate, and shall not be exercisable by the Optionee or any other person.

        6.12         Early Exercise Generally Not Permitted. The Company’s general policy is not to allow the Optionholder to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Option prior to the vesting of the Option. If, however, an Option Agreement does permit such early exercise, any unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the Company or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate.

VII.         NON-DISCRETIONARY STOCK AWARDS FOR ELIGIBLE DIRECTORS

        In addition to any other Stock Awards that Eligible Directors may be granted on a discretionary basis under the Plan, each Eligible Director of the Company shall be automatically granted without the necessity of action by the Board, the following grants:

        7.1         Initial Award Grant. On the first day following the date that a Director commences service on the Board and satisfies the definition of an Eligible Director, an initial grant of Nonstatutory Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units shall automatically be made to that Eligible Director. The number of shares subject to this Initial Grant and other terms governing this Initial Grant shall be as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. If the Board does not establish the number of shares subject to the initial Nonstatutory Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units for a given newly-elected Eligible Director prior to the date of grant for such Initial Grant, then the number shall be the same as the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Initial Grant provided to the immediately preceding newly-elected Eligible Director. If at the time a Director commences service on the Board, the Director does not satisfy the definition of an Eligible Director, such Director shall not be entitled to an Initial Grant at any time, even if such Director subsequently becomes an Eligible Director.

        7.2 Annual Stock Option Grant. An annual grant of Nonstatutory Stock Options shall automatically be made to each Eligible Director who (1) is re-elected to the Board, (2) is an Eligible Director on the relevant grant date, and (3) has served as a Director for a period of at least six (6) months. The number of shares subject to this Annual Grant and other terms governing this Annual Grant shall be as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. If the Board does not establish the number of shares subject to the Annual Grant prior to the date of grant for such Annual Grant, then the number shall be the same as the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Annual Grant for the immediately preceding year. The date of grant of an Annual Grant is the date on which the Eligible Director is re-elected to serve on the Board. Annual Grants made in connection with the Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders shall be made pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.2.

VIII.         PROVISIONS OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS

        8.1         Restricted Stock Bonus Awards. Each Restricted Stock Bonus agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. Restricted Stock Bonuses shall be paid by the Company in shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock Bonus agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Stock Bonus agreements need not be identical, but each Restricted Stock Bonus agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(i)  

Consideration. At the discretion of the Board, a Restricted Stock Bonus may be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its




A-12

   

benefit; provided, however, that in the case of a Restricted Stock Bonus to be made to a new Employee, Director, or Consultant who has not performed prior services for the Company, the Company will require payment of the par value of the Common Stock by cash or check to the extent required by Delaware General Corporation Law.


    (ii)   Vesting. Vesting shall generally be based on the Participant’s Continuous Service. The Board shall determine the vesting schedule applicable to any Restricted Stock Bonus award. Shares of Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Bonus agreement shall be subject to a share reacquisition right in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.

    (iii)   Termination of Participant’s Continuous Service. In the event a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, the Company shall automatically reacquire without cost any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant that have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the Restricted Stock Bonus agreement.

    (iv)   Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Restricted Stock Bonus agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Restricted Stock Bonus agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Bonus agreement remains subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock Bonus agreement.

        8.2         Stock Appreciation Rights. Two types of Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") shall be authorized for issuance under the Plan: (1) stand-alone SARs and (2) stapled SARs.

    (i)   Stand-Alone SARs. The following terms and conditions shall govern the grant and redeemability of stand-alone SARs:

      (A)   The stand-alone SAR shall cover a specified number of underlying shares of Common Stock and shall be exercisable and redeemable upon such terms and conditions as the Board may establish. Upon the exercise and redemption of the stand-alone SAR, the holder shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the Company in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the exercise and redemption date) of the shares of Common Stock underlying the redeemed right over (ii) the aggregate exercise price in effect for those shares.

      (B)   The number of shares of Common Stock underlying each stand-alone SAR and the exercise price in effect for those shares shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion at the time the stand-alone SAR is granted. In no event, however, may the exercise price per share be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per underlying share of Common Stock on the grant date.

      (C)   No SAR shall be exerciseable or redeemable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the date it was granted. In the absence of a provision to the contrary in the individual’s Stock Award Agreement, the term of the SAR shall be seven (7) years from the date of grant.

      (D)   The distribution with respect to any exercised and redeemed stand-alone SAR may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise and redemption date, in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash, as the Board shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.



A-13

    (ii)   Stapled SARs. The following terms and conditions shall govern the grant and redemption of stapled SARs:

      (A)   Stapled SARs may only be granted concurrently with an Option to acquire the same number of shares of Common Stock as the number of such shares underlying the stapled SARs.

      (B)   Stapled SARs shall be exercisable and redeemable upon such terms and conditions as the Board may establish and shall grant a holder the right to elect among (i) the exercise of the concurrently granted Option for shares of Common Stock, whereupon the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the stapled SARs shall be reduced by an equivalent number, (ii) the exercise and redemption of such stapled SARs in exchange for a distribution from the Company in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value (on the exercise and redemption date) of the number of vested shares which the holder redeems over the aggregate exercise price for such vested shares, whereupon the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the concurrently granted Option shall be reduced by any equivalent number, or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii).

      (C)   The distribution to which the holder of stapled SARs shall become entitled under this Section 8 upon the redemption of stapled SARs as described in Section 8.3(ii)(B) above may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise and redemption date, in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash, as the Board shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.

        8.3          Phantom Stock Units. The following terms and conditions shall govern the grant and redeemability of Phantom Stock Units:

    (i)   Phantom Stock Unit awards shall be exercisable and redeemable by the Participant to the Company upon such terms and conditions as the Board may establish. The value of a single Phantom Stock Unit shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, unless the Board otherwise provides in the terms of the Stock Award Agreement.

    (ii)   The distribution with respect to any exercised Phantom Stock Unit award may be made in shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise and redemption date, in cash, or partly in shares and partly in cash, as the Board shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.

        8.4          Restricted Stock Units. The following terms and conditions shall govern the grant and redeemability of Restricted Stock Units:

        A Restricted Stock Unit is the right to receive one (1) share of the Company’s Common Stock at the time the Restricted Stock Unit vests. Restricted Stock Units shall be settled as soon as administratively practicable following the vesting of the Restricted Stock Unit.

        Each Restricted Stock Unit agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock Unit agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Stock Unit agreements need not be identical, but each Restricted Stock Unit agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:



A-14

    (i)   Vesting. Vesting shall generally be based on the Participant’s Continuous Service. The Board shall determine the vesting schedule applicable to any such Restricted Stock Unit award. Shares of Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Unit agreement may be subject to a share reacquisition right in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.

    (ii)   Termination of Participant’s Continuous Service. In the event a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, the Participant shall automatically forfeit any or all of the shares of Common Stock that have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit agreement.

Rights to acquire the shares of Common Stock under the Restricted Stock Unit agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as any Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Unit agreement remains subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock Unit agreement.

        8.5         Performance Share Bonus Awards. Each Performance Share Bonus agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. Performance Share Bonuses shall be paid by the Company in shares of the Common Stock of the Company. The terms and conditions of Performance Share Bonus agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Performance Share Bonus agreements need not be identical, but each Performance Share Bonus agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

    (i)   Consideration. At the discretion of the Board, a Performance Share Bonus may be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit. In the event that a Performance Share Bonus is granted to a new Employee, Director, or Consultant who has not performed prior services for the Company, the Company will require payment of the par value of the Common Stock by cash or check to the extent required by Delaware General Corporation Law.

    (ii)   Vesting. Vesting shall be based on the achievement of certain performance criteria, whether financial, transactional or otherwise, as determined by the Board. Vesting shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Performance Share Bonus agreement.

A-15

        8.6         Performance Share Units. The following terms and conditions shall govern the grant and redeemability of Performance Share Units:

        Each Performance Share Unit agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of Performance Share Unit agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Performance Share Unit agreements need not be identical, but each Performance Share Unit agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

    (i)   Vesting. Vesting shall be based on the achievement of certain performance criteria, whether financial, transactional or otherwise, as determined by the Board. Vesting shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Performance Share Unit agreement. Upon failure to meet performance criteria, shares of Common Stock awarded under the Performance Share Unit agreement may be subject to a share reacquisition right in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.

    (ii)   Termination of Participant’s Continuous Service. In the event a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, the Participant shall automatically forfeit any or all of the shares of Common Stock that have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the Performance Share Unit agreement.

    (iii)   Transferability. Rights to acquire the shares of Common Stock under the Performance Share Unit agreement shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Performance Share Unit agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the Performance Share Unit agreement remains subject to the terms of the Performance Share Unit agreement.

        8.7         Performance-Based Awards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Stock Awards granted under this Plan may be granted in a manner which may be deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Code (or any successor section thereto) and/or compliant with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code for performance-based compensation (“Performance-Based Awards”). To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, a Participant’s Performance-Based Award shall be determined based on the attainment of written performance goals approved by the Board for a performance period established by the Board (i) while the outcome for that performance period is substantially uncertain and (ii) no more than ninety (90) days after the commencement of the performance period to which the performance goal relates or, if less, the number of days which is equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the relevant performance period.

    (i)   Performance Goals. The performance goals for any performance period shall be based on the following objective business criteria and measured against past Company performance, as the Committee determines: (a) pre-tax income; (b) revenue or sales; (c) operating income; (d) operating profit; (e) net earnings; (f) net income; (g) cash flow; (h) earnings per share or book value per share; (i) return on equity; (j) return on invested capital or assets; (k) cost reductions or savings or expense management; (l) funds from operations; (m) improvements in capital structure; (n) maintenance or improvement of profit margins; (o) market share; (p) working capital; (q) stock price; (r) consolidated earnings before any one or more of the



A-16

        following items: interest, taxes, depreciation or amortization; (s) implementation of the Company’s targets, critical processes and/or projects; (t) gross margins, (u) specified product sales, (v) inventory turns; (w) distributor, executive distributor, and/or preferred customer numbers, (x) product subscription numbers; or (y) distributor and customer retention rates.

  The foregoing criteria may relate to the Company, one or more of its Affiliates, or one or more of its markets, divisions, units or product lines, or any combination of the foregoing, and may be applied on an absolute basis and/or be relative to one or more peer group companies or indices, or any combination thereof, all as the Committee shall determine. In addition, to the degree consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code and/or Section 409A of the Code, the performance goals may be calculated without regard to extraordinary items. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a performance target to exclude any of the following events that occurs during an Incentive Period: (A) the effects of currency fluctuations, (B) any or all items that are excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP earnings, (C) asset write-downs, (D) litigation or claim judgments or settlements, (D) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results, (F) accruals for recapitalization, reorganization and restructuring programs, (G) the discontinuation, disposal or acquisition of a business or division, and (H) any other extraordinary, infrequent or non-operational items or events thereof, all as the Board shall determine.

    (ii)   Award Limits and Requirements for Performance-Based Awards. The maximum amount of a Performance-Based Award payable during a fiscal year to any Participant is set forth in Section 5.3 of the Plan. To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Board shall determine whether, with respect to a performance period, the applicable performance goals have been met with respect to a given Participant and, if they have, to so certify and ascertain the amount of the applicable Performance-Based Award. No Performance-Based Awards will be paid for such performance period until such certification is made by the Board. The amount of the Performance-Based Award actually paid to a given Participant may be less than the amount determined by the applicable performance goal formula, at the discretion of the Board. The amount of the Performance-Based Award determined by the Board for a performance period shall be paid to the Participant at such time as determined by the Board in its sole discretion after the end of such performance period; provided, however, that such payment or delivery shall be made in compliance with Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

    (iii)   Other. The grant of a Performance-Based Award may be made solely under this Plan or may be made pursuant to such other plan or program as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion, including the Company’s 2006 Senior Executive Incentive Plan.

IX.        COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

        9.1         Availability of Shares. During the terms of the Stock Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Stock Awards.

        9.2         Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise, redemption or satisfaction of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to register under the Securities Act, or under any foreign law of similar effect, the Plan, any Stock Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award nor shall it require the Company to comply with any applicable securities laws or regulations if such compliance would be unduly burdensome



A-17

or costly, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock related to such Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

X.         USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK

        Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.

XI.         CANCELLATION AND RE-GRANT OF OPTIONS AND SARS

        The Board shall not have the authority to effect, at any time, (i) the repricing of any outstanding Options or SARs under the Plan, which includes reduction in exercise price, base price, or replacement of underwater options with any other form of equity award or with cash, (ii) the cancellation of any outstanding Options or SARs under the Plan that are underwater and the grant in substitution therefor of new Options or SARs under the Plan covering the same or different number of shares of Common Stock, and/or (iii) cancellation of underwater Options or SARs and replacement with Full Value Awards or cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may grant an Option or SARs with an exercise or redemption price lower than that set forth above if such Option or SARs is granted as part of a transaction to which Section 424 or Section 409A of the Code applies.

XII.         MISCELLANEOUS

        12.1         Acceleration of Exercisability and Vesting. The Board (or Committee, if so authorized by the Board) shall have the power to accelerate exercisability and/or vesting when it deems fit, such as upon a Change of Control. The Board or Committee shall have the power to accelerate the time at which a Stock Award may first be exercised or the time during which a Stock Award or any part thereof will vest in accordance with the Plan, notwithstanding the provisions in the Stock Award stating the time at which it may first be exercised or the time during which it will vest.

        12.2         Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Award except to the extent that the Company has issued the shares of Common Stock relating to such Stock Award.

        12.3         No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or Stock Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Stock Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Company or an Affiliate; or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the Bylaws of the Company, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state or other jurisdiction in which the Company is domiciled, as the case may be.

        12.4         Incentive Stock Option $100,000 Limitation. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Affiliates) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), or such other limit as may be set by law, the Options or portions thereof which exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.



A-18

        12.5         Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or redeeming a Stock Award or acquiring Common Stock under any Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of acquiring the Common Stock; (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock; and (iii) to give such other written assurances as the Company may determine are reasonable in order to comply with applicable law. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (1) the issuance of the shares of 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, and in either case otherwise complies with applicable law. 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 laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.

        12.6         Withholding Obligations. To the extent provided by the terms of a Stock Award Agreement, the Participant may satisfy any federal, state, local, or foreign tax withholding obligation relating to the exercise or redemption of a Stock Award or the acquisition, vesting, distribution or transfer of Common Stock under a Stock Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s right to withhold from any compensation paid to the Participant by the Company) or by a combination of such means: (i) tendering a cash payment; (ii) authorizing the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the Participant, provided, however, that no shares of Common Stock are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law; or (iii) delivering to the Company owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock, provided, however, that in the case of the tender of shares, any such shares have been held by the Participant for not less than six (6) months (or such other period as established by the Board to avoid a supplemental change to earnings for financial accounting purposes).

        12.7         Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, it is the intent of the Company that the administration of the Plan, and the granting of all Stock Awards under this Plan, shall be done in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and the Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including any guidance or regulations that may be issued after the effective date of this Plan, and shall not cause the acceleration of, or the imposition of the additional, taxes provided for in Section 409A of the Code. Any Stock Award shall be granted, deferred, paid out or modified under this Plan in a manner that shall be intended to avoid resulting in the acceleration of taxation, or the imposition of penalty taxation, under Section 409A upon a Participant. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Board that any amounts payable in respect of any Stock Award under the Plan will be taxable to a Participant under Section 409A of the Code prior to the payment and/or delivery to such Participant of such amounts or will be subject to the acceleration of taxation or the imposition of penalty taxation under Section 409A of the Code, the Company may either (i) adopt such amendments to the Plan and related Stock Award, and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Board determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by the Plan and Stock Awards hereunder, and/or (ii) take such other actions as the Board determines necessary or appropriate to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.



A-19

        12.8         Forfeiture of Stock Awards. To the extent set forth in a Stock Award Agreement, if at any time during the Participant’s Continuous Service or at any time following the termination of Continuous Service until the later of: (i) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service for any reason, and (ii) the six (6) month anniversary of the date the Participant exercises or redeems any outstanding Options, Stock Appreciation Rights or Phantom Stock Units and/or vests in any Stock Award (other than an Option, Stock Appreciation Right or Phantom Stock Unit), a Forfeiture Event occurs, then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, direct that:

(A)  

all outstanding Stock Awards shall terminate in full;


(B)  

the Participant shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the gain realized upon the exercise or redemption of any Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Phantom Stock Units or any sale of the underlying shares obtained during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Forfeiture Event and/or any gain realized upon any exercise, redemption or sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock upon or after the occurrence of any Forfeiture Event; and


(C)  

the Participant shall forfeit and return to the Company, as applicable, any unvested shares pursuant to all outstanding Stock Awards (other than Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Phantom Stock Units) and/or pay to the Company the gain realized from the grant, vesting or sale of any shares obtained pursuant to such Stock Award during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Forfeiture Event or at any time on the date of or after the occurrence of such Forfeiture Event.


   

The Board shall determine the manner of the recovery of any such amounts which may be due to the Company and which may include, without limitation, set-off against any amounts which may be owed by the Company to the Participant subject, in all cases, to applicable law and the terms and conditions of the applicable plan, arrangement or agreement.


        If any provision contained in this Article shall for any reason, whether by application of existing law or law which may develop after the Participant’s acceptance of the grant of Stock Awards hereunder be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be overly broad, the Participant agrees to join the Company or any of its Affiliates in requesting such court to construe such provision by limiting or reducing it so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with then applicable law.

        12.9         Extension of Stock Award. A Participant’s Stock Award Agreement may provide that if the issuance of shares of Common Stock would be prohibited at any time solely because such issuance would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act or other applicable securities laws, then the Participant shall be entitled to exercise, redeem or receive the shares of Common Stock underlying such Stock Award, as applicable, on the date that is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Stock Award, if applicable, and (ii) a period of three (3) months after the date on which such exercise, redemption or delivery of shares of Common Stock would not be in violation of such registration requirement or other applicable securities laws. The provisions of this Section 12.9 notwithstanding, in the event that a sale of the shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the Stock Award would subject the Participant to liability under Section 16(b) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act, then, if applicable, the Stock Award will terminate on the fifteenth (15th) day after the last date upon which such sale would result in liability, but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Stock Award.

XIII.         ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK

        13.1         Capitalization Adjustments. In the event of any change in the Common Stock subject to the Plan or subject to any Stock Award by reason of merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, spinoff, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, extraordinary dividends or distributions, combination of shares, exchange of shares, change in corporate structure or other similar transaction, the Plan may be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and maximum number of securities or other property subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 4.1 above, the ISO Limit, the maximum number of securities subject to award to any person pursuant to Section 5.3 above, and the number of securities subject to the option grants to Eligible Directors under Section 7 of the Plan, and the outstanding Stock Awards may be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and number of securities or other property, the price per share of the securities or other property subject to such outstanding Stock Awards, or any other affected terms of Stock Awards. The Board may make such adjustments in its sole discretion, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive.

        13.2         Adjustments Upon a Change of Control.

    (i)   In the event of a Change of Control as defined in Section 2.5(i) through 2.5(iv), such as an asset sale, merger, or change in Board composition, then the Board or the board of directors of any surviving entity or acquiring entity may provide or require that the surviving or acquiring entity shall: (1) assume or continue all or any part of the Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan; (2) substitute substantially equivalent stock awards (including an award to acquire substantially the same consideration paid to the shareholders in the transaction by which the Change of Control occurs) for those outstanding under the Plan; (3) redeem or purchase such Stock Awards for consideration determined in a manner consistent with the per share consideration being paid to the other stockholders of the Company; or (4) any combination of the foregoing. In the event any surviving entity or acquiring entity refuses to take such actions, then with respect to Stock Awards held by Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated, the Board in its sole discretion and without liability to any person may: (1) provide for the payment of a cash amount in exchange for the cancellation of a Stock Award equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock at such time over the exercise, redemption or purchase price, if any, times (y) the total number of shares then subject to such Stock Award; (2) continue the Stock Awards upon such terms as the Board determines in its sole discretion; (3) provide for issuance of substitute awards that will substantially preserve the otherwise applicable terms of any affected Stock Awards (including any unrealized value immediately prior to the Change of Control) previously granted hereunder, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion; (4) notify Participants holding an Option, Stock Appreciation Right, Phantom Stock Unit, Restricted Stock Unit, or Performance Share Unit that they must exercise or redeem any portion of such Stock Award (including, at the discretion of the Board, any unvested portion of such Stock Award) at or prior to the closing of the transaction by which the Change of Control occurs and that the Stock Awards shall terminate if not so exercised or redeemed at or prior to the closing of the transaction by which the Change of Control occurs. With respect to any other Stock Awards outstanding under the Plan, such Stock Awards shall terminate if not exercised or redeemed prior to the closing of the transaction by which the Change of Control occurs. The Board shall not be obligated to treat all Stock Awards, even those that are of the same type, in the same manner.

    (ii)   In the event of a Change of Control as defined in Section 2.5(v), such as a dissolution of the Company, all outstanding Stock Awards shall terminate immediately prior to such event.
