Committee may, upon confirming that the Optionee owns the number of additional shares being tendered, authorize the issuance of a new certificate for the number of shares being acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Option less the number of shares being tendered upon the exercise and return to the Optionee (or not require surrender of) the certificate for the shares being tendered upon the exercise.

        2.6    Exercisability and Vesting.     Subject to Sections 11.8 and 11.9, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, each Option shall vest such that one-third () of the original number of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option granted to a Participant shall become purchasable by exercise as of each anniversary of the date of grant of such Option until the Option is fully exercisable or the Option is forfeited or expires.

"The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), or any other securities law. No sale, transfer or other disposition of such securities, or of any interest therein, may be made or shall be recognized unless in the satisfactory written opinion of counsel for, or other counsel satisfactory to, the issuer such transaction would not violate or require registration under the Act or other law."

In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine. The terms, conditions and/or restrictions contained in an Award may differ from the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in any other Award. The Committee may amend an Award; provided, however, that, subject to Section 11.9, no amendment of an Award may, without the consent of the holder of the Award, adversely affect such person's rights with respect to such Award in any material respect. (Adjustments pursuant to Section 1.3(c) shall not be considered as adversely affecting a person's rights.) The Board or the Committee shall retain full power and discretion to accelerate or waive, at any time, any term or condition of an Award that is not mandatory under the Plan; provided, however, that subject to Section 11.9, the Board or the Committee shall not have the discretion to accelerate or waive any term or condition of an Award, to increase the amount, if any, otherwise payable in accordance with the terms of the Award, or to pay any amount in lieu of an amount not earned or vested under the terms of an Award if such Award is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation and such discretion would cause the Award not to so qualify. Except in cases in which the Board or the Committee is authorized to require other forms of consideration under the Plan, or to the extent other forms of consideration must be paid to satisfy the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law, no consideration other than services may be required for the grant of any Award.

        11.2    Stand-Alone, Additional, Tandem and Substitute Awards.     Subject to Section 2.5 and Section 4.5, Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Board or the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution or exchange for, any other Award or any award granted under another plan of the Company, any Affiliate or any business entity to be acquired by the Company or an Affiliate, or any other right of a Participant to receive payment from the Company or any Affiliate. Any such additional, tandem and substitute or exchange Awards may be granted at any time. If an Award is granted in substitution or exchange for another Award, the Board or the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Award for cancellation in consideration for the grant of the new Award. In addition, Awards may be granted in lieu of cash compensation, including in lieu of cash amounts payable under other plans of the Company or any Affiliate. Any action contemplated or otherwise permitted under this Section 11.2 shall be allowed and effective only to the extent that such action would not cause or otherwise result in adverse consequences under Section 409A of the Code.



19



        11.3    Term of Awards.     The term or Restricted Period of each Award that is an Option, Warrant, Stock Appreciation Right, Phantom Stock, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Board or the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall the term of any such Award exceed a period of ten (10) years (or such shorter terms as may be required in respect of an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code).

        11.4    Securities Requirements.     No exercise of any Option or any Stock Appreciation Right shall be effective, and no payment of cash or transfer of shares of Common Stock will be made, unless and until all then-applicable requirements imposed by federal and state securities and other laws, rules and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction and by any stock market or exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed, have been fully met. The Company may require the Participant to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements. The Company shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the issuance or transfer of shares pursuant to an Award to comply with any law or regulation described in the first sentence of this Section 11.4.

        11.5    Transferability.     

        (a)    Non-Transferable Awards and Options.    Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, no Award and no right under the Plan, contingent or otherwise, other than Restricted Stock which has vested, will be (i) assignable, saleable or otherwise transferable by a Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or (ii) subject to any encumbrance, pledge or charge of any nature. No transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished  with a copy of the deceased Participant's will or such other evidence as the Committee may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer. Any attempted transfer in violation of this Section 11.5 shall be void and ineffective for all purposes.

        (b)    Ability to Exercise Rights.    Except as otherwise specifically provided under the Plan, only the Participant or his guardian (if the Participant becomes Disabled), or in the event of his death, his legal representative or beneficiary, may exercise Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, receive cash payments and deliveries of shares or otherwise exercise rights under the Plan. The executor or administrator of the Participant's estate, or the person or persons to whom the Participant's rights under any Award will pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution, shall be deemed to be the Participant's beneficiary or beneficiaries of the rights of the Participant hereunder and shall be entitled to exercise such rights as are provided hereunder.

        11.6    No Rights as a Stockholder.     Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(b), a Participant who has received a grant of an Award, or a transferee of such Participant, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock until such person becomes the holder of record. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(b), no adjustment shall be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificate is issued.

        11.7    Listing and Registration of Shares of Common Stock.     The Company, in its discretion, may postpone the issuance and/or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon any exercise of an Award until completion of such stock exchange listing, registration or other qualification of such shares under any state and/or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company may consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make such representations and furnish such information as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of the shares in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

        11.8    Termination.     

        (a)    Termination for Cause.    Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, upon a Participant's termination for Cause, all unpaid Awards of that Participant, whether or not vested, shall terminate and be immediately forfeited. Shares of Restricted Stock so forfeited shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.3(a).



20




        (b)    Termination for any reason Other than for Cause.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.8(c) or the applicable Award Agreement, upon the termination of Participant for any reason other than for Cause, any unvested Award granted pursuant to the Plan outstanding at the time of such termination and all rights thereunder shall be forfeited and shall wholly and completely terminate and no further vesting shall occur.

        (c)    Continuation.    The Board or the Committee, in its discretion, may provide for the continuation of any Award beyond a Participant's termination for such period and upon such terms and conditions as the Board or the Committee may determine, except to the extent that such continuation would cause the Award to become subject to the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or cause adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, if the Award is subject to the provisions of Section 409A. This Section 11.8(c) shall not apply to any Award intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation.  

        11.9    Change of Control.     

        (a)    Change of Control.    Unless otherwise provided in the Award, in connection with a Change of Control, the Board shall have the authority in its sole discretion to take any one or more of the following actions with respect to the Awards:

        (i)    the Board may accelerate vesting and the time at which all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding may be exercised so that those types of Awards may be exercised in full for a limited period of time on or before a specified date fixed by the Board or the Committee, after which specified date all unexercised Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and all rights of Participants thereunder shall terminate, or the Board or the Committee may accelerate vesting and the time at which Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised so that those types of Awards may be exercised in full for their then remaining term;

        (ii)   the Board may waive, alter and/or amend the Performance Criteria and other restrictions and conditions of Awards then outstanding, with the result that the affected Awards may be deemed vested, and the Restricted Period or other limitations on payment in full with respect thereto shall be deemed to have expired, as of the date of the Change of Control or such other date as may be determined by the Board;

        (iii)  the Board may cause the acquirer to assume the Plan and the Awards or exchange the Awards for awards for the acquirer's stock;

        (iv)  the Board may terminate the Plan; and

        (v)   the Board may terminate and cancel all outstanding unvested or unexercised Awards as of the date of the Change of Control on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate.

        Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 11.9, the Board shall not be required to take any action described in the preceding provisions of this Section 11.9, and any decision made by the Board, in its sole discretion, not to take some or all of the actions described in the preceding provisions of this Section 11.9 shall be final, binding and conclusive with respect to the Company and all other interested persons.

        (b)    Right to Cash-Out.    The Board shall, in connection with a Change of Control, have the right to require all, but not less than all, Participants to transfer and deliver to the Company all Awards previously granted to the Participants in exchange for an amount equal to the Cash Value of the Awards. Such right shall be exercised by written notice to all affected Participants. The amount payable to each Participant by the Company pursuant to this Section 11.9(b) shall be in cash or by certified check paid within five (5) days following the transfer and delivery of such Award (but in no event later than fifty (50) days following the date of the Change of Control) and shall be reduced by any taxes required to be withheld.



21



        11.10    Payment or Settlement of Awards.     Unless otherwise specified in an Award Agreement, any Award may be settled in cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Common Stock. For this purpose, the withholding of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon settlement of an Award in order to satisfy withholding taxes or to make payment for the Exercise Price of an Award shall be treated as settled in cash.

        11.11    Lock-Up Agreement.     In the event of any underwritten public offering of the Company's securities made by the Company pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, the Board and the Committee shall have the right to impose market stand-off restrictions on each Award recipient whereby such Participant shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, hypothecate, grant any option to purchase or make any short sale of, or otherwise dispose of any shares of stock of the Company or any rights to acquire stock of the Company for such period of time from and after the effective date of such registration statement as may be established by the underwriter for such public offering; provided, however, that such period of time shall not exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the effective date of the registration statement to be filed in connection with such public offering. The foregoing limitation shall not apply to shares registered in the public offering under the Securities Act.

        11.12    Stockholder Agreements/Investment Representations.     As a condition to the exercise of an Option or the issuance of Common Stock hereunder, the Committee or the Board may require the Participant to enter into such agreements (including but not limited to a buy/sell or voting trust agreement) with respect to the shares as may be required of other stockholders of the Company. In addition, the Committee or the Board may require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise or issuance that the shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such shares, if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any relevant provisions of law.

        11.13    Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability.     It is the intent of the Company that the grant of any Awards to, or other transaction by, a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act pursuant to an applicable exemption (except for transactions acknowledged by the Participant in writing to be non-exempt). Accordingly, if any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act as then applicable to any such transaction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE XII
WITHHOLDING FOR TAXES

        Any issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option or a Stock Appreciation Right (if applicable) or in payment of any other Award under the Plan shall not be made until appropriate arrangements satisfactory to the Company have been made for the payment of any tax amounts (federal, state, local or other) that may be required to be withheld or paid by the Company with respect thereto at the minimum statutory rate. Such arrangements may, at the discretion of the Committee, include allowing the Participant to tender to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant if such tendered shares of Common Stock have been held by such Participant for at least six months, or to request the Company to withhold shares of Common Stock being acquired pursuant to the Award, whether through the exercise of an Option or as a distribution pursuant to the Award, which have an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of such withholding that is not greater than the sum of all tax amounts required to be withheld with respect thereto, together with payment of any remaining portion of such tax amounts in cash or by certified check payable and acceptable to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the date of an event giving rise to a tax withholding obligation on the part of the Company the person is an officer or individual subject to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, such person may direct that such tax withholding be effectuated by the Company withholding the necessary number of shares of Common Stock (at the tax rate required by applicable law) from such Award payment or exercise.

ARTICLE XIII
MISCELLANEOUS

        13.1    No Rights to Awards or Uniformity Among Awards.     No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award; there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards; and the terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.  

        13.2    Conflicts with Plan.     In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the Plan and an Award, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

        13.3    Rights as Employee, Service Provider or Director.     No person, even though eligible under this Plan, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee, Service Provider or Director, or interfere with or limit in any way any right of the Company or its Affiliates to terminate the Participant's Employment or service at any time. To the extent that an Employee of an Affiliate other than the Company receives an Award under the Plan, the Award can in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee's employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with the Company.

        13.4    Governing Law.     The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any principles of conflicts of law.

        13.5    Gender, Tense and Headings.     Whenever the context requires such, words of the masculine gender used herein shall include the feminine and neuter, and words used in the singular shall include the plural. Section headings as used herein are inserted solely for convenience and reference and constitute no part of the Plan.

        13.6    Severability.     If any provision of the Plan or any Award is, becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Participant or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Board or the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended as necessary to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board or the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Participant or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

        13.7    Other Laws.     The Board or the Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law.

        13.8    Unfunded Obligations.     Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes. Except as provided under ARTICLE VI of the Plan, with respect to the delivery of stock certificates, no provision of the Plan shall require or permit the Company or any Affiliates, for the purpose of satisfying any obligations under the Plan, to purchase assets or place any assets in a trust or other entity to which contributions are made or otherwise to segregate any assets, nor shall the Company nor any Affiliates maintain separate bank accounts, books, records or other evidence of the existence of a segregated or separately maintained or administered fund for such purposes. Participants shall have no rights under the Plan, other than as general unsecured creditors of the Company, except that insofar as they may have become entitled to payment of additional compensation by performance of services, they shall have the same rights as other Employees, Service Providers or Non-Employee Directors under general law. The Company shall retain at all times beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create nor constitute a trust or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Affiliate and a Participant, nor otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant nor the Participant's



23



creditors in any assets of the Company or any Affiliate. The Participants shall have no claim against any Affiliate for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the Plan. The Plan shall not constitute an "employee benefit plan" for purposes of Section 3(3) of ERISA.  

        13.9    No Guarantee of Tax Consequences.     The Participant shall be solely responsible for and liable for any tax consequences (including but not limited to any interest or penalties) as a result of participation in the Plan. Neither the Board, nor the Company nor the Committee makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any person participating or eligible to participate hereunder and assumes no liability whatsoever for the tax consequences to the Participants.

        13.10    Stockholder Agreements.     The Board or the Committee may, from time to time, condition the grant, exercise or payment of any Award upon such Participant entering into a stockholders' agreement, voting agreement, repurchase agreement or lockup or market standoff agreement in such form or forms as approved from time to time by the Board.

        13.11    Specified Employee under Section 409A of the Code.     Subject to any other restrictions or limitations contained herein, in the event that a "specified employee" (as defined under Section 409A of the Code) becomes entitled to a payment under the Plan that is subject to Section 409A of the Code on account of a "separation from service" (as defined under Section 409A of the Code), such payment shall not occur until the date that is six (6) months plus one (1) day from the date of such "separation from service."

        13.12    No Additional Deferral Features.     No Award shall contain or reflect, or be amended, affected or supplemented by any other agreement (including, but not limited to, employment agreements, other plans or arrangements of deferred compensation) so as to contain, include or be subject to a "deferral feature" or an "additional deferral feature" within the meaning and usage of those terms under Section 409A of the Code.

        13.13    Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.     Certain items of compensation paid pursuant to this Plan are or may be subject to Section 409A of the Code. In such instances, this Plan is intended to comply and shall be administered in a manner that is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.

        13.14    Claw-back Policy.     All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Participant upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any share of Common Stock underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of any law or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement.
