terms and conditions and to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent therewith, as the Committee shall determine:

A. Type of Option. Incentive Stock Options may be granted to any Participant who is an Employee of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary. A Non-Qualified Stock Option may be granted to any Employee, Non-Employee Director or Consultant selected by the Committee.

B. Purchase Prices. The purchase price of the Stock under each Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such Option is granted; provided that, in the case of a Participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary, the purchase price of the Stock under each Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date such Option is granted.

C. Exercise - Elections and Restrictions. The purchase price of the Stock under an Option is to be paid in full upon the exercise of the Option, either (i) in cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the Company), (ii) in the discretion of the Committee, by the tender to the Company (either actually or by attestation) of Shares already owned by the Participant and registered in his or her name, having a Fair Market Value equal to the cash purchase price under the Option being exercised, (iii) in the discretion of the Committee, by withholding Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the cash purchase price under the Option being exercised which are otherwise issuable in connection with the Option, (iv) in the discretion of the Committee, through a cashless form of exercise in which the certificate or certificates for the Shares of Stock for which the Option is exercised are delivered to a licensed broker acceptable to the Company as the agent for the individual exercising the Option and, at the time such certificate or certificates are delivered, the broker tenders to the Company cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the Company) equal to the purchase price for the Shares of Stock purchased pursuant to the exercise of the Option plus the amount (if any) of any withholding obligations on the part of the Company, (v) in the discretion of the Committee, by any combination of the payment methods specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) hereof, or (vi) any other form of legal consideration acceptable to the Committee; provided, however, that no Shares of Stock may be tendered in exercise of an Incentive Stock Option if such Shares were acquired by the Participant through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option unless (a) such Shares have been held by the Participant for at least one year, and (b) at least two years have elapsed since such prior Incentive Stock Option was granted. The proceeds of sale of Stock subject to the Option are to be added to the general funds of the Company or to the Shares of the Stock held in its Treasury, and used for its corporate purposes as the Board shall determine.

D. Option Terms. The term of each Option shall not be more than 10 years from the date of granting thereof or such shorter period as is prescribed in the Award Agreement; provided that, in the case of a Participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary, the term of any Incentive Stock Option shall not be more than five years from the date of granting thereof or such shorter period as prescribed in the Award Agreement.

have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to Option until such Shares shall be issued to him or her upon the exercise of his or her Option.

If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Award Agreement or this subsection E, as applicable, the Option shall terminate.

F. Disability.Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event that a Participant’s service terminates as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date 12 months following such termination or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination upon Disability, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Award Agreement or this subsection F, as applicable, the Option shall terminate.

G. Death. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event a Participant’s service terminates as a result of the Participant’s death, then the Option may be exercised (to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by the Participant’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 Participant’s death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date 12 months following the date of death or (b) the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after the Participant’s death, the Option is not exercised within the time specified in the Award Agreement or this subsection G, as applicable, the Option shall terminate.

A Participant who disposes of Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option either (i) within two years after the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option or (ii) within one year after the transfer of such Shares to the Participant, shall notify the Company of such disposition and of the amount realized upon such disposition.

14.    Investment Purpose.

Each Award under the Plan shall be awarded only on the condition that all purchases or other acquisitions of Stock thereunder shall be for investment purposes, and not with a view to resale or distribution, except that the Committee may make such provision with respect to Awards granted under this Plan as it deems necessary or advisable for the release of such condition upon the registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Stock subject to the Award, or upon the happening of any other contingency warranting the release of such condition.

15.    Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization; Change of Control.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, the Award Agreements may contain such provisions as the Committee shall determine to be appropriate for the adjustment of the number and class of shares subject to each outstanding Award and the purchase prices, if applicable, in the event of changes in the outstanding Stock by reason of stock dividends, recapitalization, mergers, consolidations, split-ups, combinations or exchanges of shares and the like, and, in the event of any such change in the outstanding Stock, the aggregate number and class of shares available under the Plan and the maximum number of shares as to which Awards may be granted to an individual shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive. In the event the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary enters into a transaction described in Section 424(a) of the Code with any other corporation, the Committee may grant options to employees or former employees of such corporation in substitution of options previously granted to them upon such terms and conditions as shall be necessary to qualify such grant as a substitution described in Section 424(a) of the Code. In the event of a Change of Control, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan or an Award Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply:

A. Plan Assumed, Continued or Replaced. If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan (i) are assumed by the successor corporation (or an affiliate of the successor) or continued, or (ii) are replaced with equity awards that preserve the existing value of the awards at the time of the Change of Control and provide for subsequent payout in accordance with a vesting schedule and performance goals, as applicable, that are the same or more favorable to the Participants than the vesting schedule and performance goals applicable to the Awards, then all such Awards or such substitutes for them shall remain outstanding and be governed by their respective terms and the provisions of the Plan, subject to subsection D below.

B. Plan Not Assumed, Continued or Replaced. If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not assumed, continued or replaced in accordance with subsection A above, then upon the Change of Control the following treatment shall apply to such Awards: (i) any Awards subject to vesting based only on continued service with the Company, an Affiliate or an Employer shall immediately become fully vested, and as applicable such Awards shall become exercisable with respect to 100% of the Shares subject to the Award for a period of three years from the closing date of the Change of Control; (ii) any performance goals applicable to any Awards shall be deemed to have been achieved at the target performance level and such Awards shall immediately become vested as to a pro rata portion of such Award based on the portion of the performance period that has been completed at the time of the Change of Control (or, if subsection D is applicable, termination of employment); and (iii) any other restrictions and conditions applicable to such Awards shall immediately lapse; provided, however, unless the Change of Control is a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), a Change of Control shall not accelerate the time of payment of Awards and amounts payable under the Plan that are deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A.

C. Cash-out of Awards. If and to the extent that outstanding Awards under the Plan are not assumed, continued or replaced in accordance with paragraph (i) above, then the Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for cancellation of such outstanding Awards at the time of the Change of Control in which case a payment of cash, property or a combination of cash or property shall be made to each such Participant, upon the consummation of the Change of Control, in an amount that is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be equivalent to the value of the Award (net of any applicable purchase price in the case of Options) based upon the price per Share of Stock received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Change of Control (except that, in the case of Options, such payment shall be limited as necessary to prevent the Option from being subject to Code Section 409A).

D. Termination without Cause. If and to the extent that (i) outstanding Awards are assumed, continued or replaced in accordance with subsection A above, and (ii) a Participant’s employment with, or performance of services for, the Company, an Affiliate, an Employer or the successor (or an affiliate of the successor) is terminated by the Company, the Affiliate, the Employer or the successor (or an affiliate of the successor) without cause (as defined in the applicable Award Agreement or, if not defined in such Award Agreement, in the Participant’s employment or services agreement, if applicable) within the 18 month period commencing on the closing of the Change of Control, then, as of the date of such Participant’s termination, the Change of Control treatment in subsection B

above shall apply to all assumed, continued or replaced awards of such Participant then outstanding.

16.    Amendment and Termination.

The Board may at any time terminate the Plan, or make such modifications to the Plan as it shall deem advisable; provided, however, that the Board may not, without further approval by the holders of Stock, increase the maximum number of Shares as to which Awards may be granted under the Plan (except under the anti-dilution provisions of Section 15), or change the class of Employees to whom Incentive Stock Options may be granted, or withdraw the authority to administer the Plan from a committee whose members satisfy the requirements of Section 5. No termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom any Award shall theretofore have been granted, adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Award.

17.    Effectiveness of the Plan.

The Plan shall become effective upon adoption by the Board subject, however, to its further approval by the stockholders of the Company given within twelve (12) months of the date the Plan is adopted by the Board at a regular meeting of the stockholders or at a special meeting duly called and held for such purpose. Grants of Awards may be made prior to such stockholder approval but all Award grants made prior to stockholder approval shall be subject to the obtaining of such approval and if such approval is not obtained, such Awards shall not be effective for any purpose.

18.    Time of Granting of an Award.

An Award grant under the Plan shall be deemed to be made on the date on which the Committee, by formal action of its members duly recorded in the records thereof, makes an Award to a Participant (but in no event prior to the adoption of the Plan by the Board); provided that, such Award is evidenced by a written Award Agreement duly executed on behalf of the Company and on behalf of the Participant within a reasonable time after the date of the Committee action.

19.    Term of Plan.

This Plan shall terminate 10 years after the date on which it is approved and adopted by the Board and no Award shall be granted hereunder after the expiration of such 10-year period. Awards outstanding at the termination of the Plan shall continue in accordance with their terms and shall not be affected by such termination.

20.    No Right To Continued Employment.

Nothing in the Plan or in any Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall confer on any individual any right to continue in the employ of the Employer or interfere in any way with the right of the Employer to terminate his or her employment at any time.

21.    Choice of Law.

The Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland without regard to conflicts of law.

22.    Data Privacy.

As a condition of acceptance of an Award, the Participant explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described in this Section 22 for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation

in the Plan and complying with applicable laws, including securities laws. The Participant understands that the Company holds certain personal information about the Participant, including the Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Shares of Stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all Awards or any other entitlement to Shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor, for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (the “Data”). The Participant further understands that the Company may transfer the Data internally as necessary for the purpose of implementation, management and administration of the Participant’s participation in the Plan, and that the Company may further transfer the Data to any third parties assisting the Company in the implementation, management, and administration of the Plan. The Participant understands that these recipients may be located in the Participant’s country, or elsewhere, and that the recipient’s country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Participant’s country. The Participant understands that he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant, through participation in the Plan and acceptance of an Award under the Plan, authorizes such recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Participant’s participation in the Plan and complying with applicable laws, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Participant may elect to deposit any Shares. The Participant understands that the Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, manage, and administer the Participant’s participation in the Plan and to comply with applicable laws. The Participant understands that he or she may, at any time, view the Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data, or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Participant understands that refusal or withdrawal of consent may affect the Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, the Participant understands that he or she may contact his or her local human resources representative.

23.    Indemnification.

To the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board and any person to whom the Committee has delegated any of its authority under the Plan shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such person in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

24.    Compliance With Code Section 409A.

Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in

accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A.

25.    Cancellation of Award; Forfeiture of Gain.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an Award Agreement may provide that:

A. Any Award which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement, or Company policy, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement, or any policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement or otherwise.

B. If the Participant, without the consent of the Company, while employed by or providing services to the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary Employer or after termination of such employment or service, violates a noncompetition, nonsolicitation or nondisclosure covenant or agreement or otherwise engages in activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interest of the Company, Parent or any Subsidiary or Employer, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, then (i) any outstanding, vested or unvested, earned or unearned portion of the Award may, at the Committee’s discretion, be cancelled, and (ii) the Committee, in its discretion, may require the Participant or other person to whom any payment has been made or Shares or cash have been transferred in connection with the Award to forfeit and pay over to the Company, on demand, all or any portion of the gain (whether or not taxable) realized upon the exercise of any Option and the value realized (whether or not taxable) on the vesting or payment of any other Award during the time period specified in the Award Agreement.
