NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

Financial Statement Preparation

      The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by QUALCOMM Incorporated (the Company or QUALCOMM), without audit, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 24, 2000 was derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet at that date which is not presented herein. The Company operates and reports using a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday in September. As a result, the three month and six month periods ending April 1, 2001 include 13 weeks and 27 weeks, respectively, as compared to 13 weeks and 26 weeks for the three month and six month periods ending March 26, 2000, respectively.

      In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments, which are only normal and recurring, necessary for a fair presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2000. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Net Earnings Per Common Share

      Basic net earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net earnings per common share (diluted EPS) for the three months and six months ended March 26, 2000 reflect the potential dilutive effect, calculated using the treasury stock method, of 69,727,000 and 69,177,000 additional common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, respectively, and the potential dilutive effect, for the period prior to conversion, of 14,843,000 and 36,229,000 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of Trust Convertible Preferred Securities, respectively, determined on an if-converted basis. Net income in the computation of diluted EPS for the three months and six months ended March 26, 2000 is increased by $1 million and $7 million, respectively, representing the assumed savings of distributions, net of taxes, on the Trust Convertible Preferred Securities. The diluted base for the three months ended April 1, 2001 reflect the potential dilutive effect, calculated using the treasury stock method, of 52,212,000 additional common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options. The diluted share base for the six months ended April 1, 2001 excludes the potential dilutive effect of 54,390,000 incremental shares related to outstanding stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method, due to their anti-dilutive effect as a result of the Company’s loss before accounting change.

      Options outstanding during the three months ended April 1, 2001 and March 26, 2000 to purchase approximately 10,950,000 and 70,000 shares of common stock, respectively, and options outstanding during the six months ended April 1, 2001 and March 26, 2000 to purchase approximately 9,523,000 and 945,000 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the treasury stock computation of diluted EPS because the options’ exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period and, therefore, the effect would be anti-dilutive.

      The reclassification adjustment for other than temporary losses on marketable securities results from the recognition of unrealized losses in the income statement resulting from declines in the market prices of those securities deemed to be other than temporary. The reclassification adjustment for net realized gains results from the recognition of the net realized gains in the income statement when the marketable securities are sold. The reclassification adjustment for losses included in the accounting change results from the recognition of unrealized losses attributable to derivative instruments as of the beginning of fiscal 2001 in the income statement as a result of the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (FAS 133). Unrealized losses on certain derivative instruments subject to FAS 133 were previously recorded as a component of other comprehensive income.

Accounting Change

      The Company was required to adopt FAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as of the beginning of fiscal 2001. FAS 133 requires certain derivative instruments to be recorded at fair value. Derivative instruments held by the Company are comprised of warrants and other rights to purchase equity interests in certain other companies related to strategic investment and financing activities. Such instruments are held for investment, but not trading, purposes.

(Unaudited)

      The Company recorded a $129 million gain, net of taxes of $87 million, as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of the beginning of fiscal 2001. The cumulative effect of the accounting change related primarily to the recognition of the unrealized gain on a warrant to purchase 4,500,000 shares of Leap Wireless International, Inc. (Leap Wireless) common stock issued to the Company in connection with its spin-off of Leap Wireless in September 1998. Additionally, the Company recorded $12 million in pre-tax unrealized gains and $148 in pre-tax unrealized losses on derivative instruments during the three months and six months ended April 1, 2001, respectively, primarily resulting from changes in the market price of Leap Wireless stock which affect the fair value of the Leap Wireless warrant. After adoption of FAS 133, unrealized gains and losses on these derivative instruments are recorded in the income statement as a component of investment income (Note 4). The Company exercised a portion of the Leap Wireless warrant during the first quarter of fiscal 2001. At April 1, 2001, the Company has the right to purchase 3,375,000 shares of Leap Wireless common stock under the warrant.

Future Accounting Requirements

      In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” The SEC staff subsequently amended SAB 101 to provide registrants with additional time to implement SAB 101. The Company is required to adopt SAB 101 by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, applied retroactively to the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2 — Acquisitions

SnapTrack, Inc.

      In March 2000, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of SnapTrack, Inc. (SnapTrack), a developer of wireless position location technology, in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price was approximately $1 billion, representing the value of QUALCOMM shares issued to effect the purchase, the value of vested and unvested options and warrants exchanged at the closing date and transaction costs. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the operating results of SnapTrack from the date of acquisition. Unaudited pro forma operating results for the Company, assuming the acquisition of SnapTrack had been made at the beginning of the period presented, are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

Note 3 — Composition of Certain Balance Sheet Captions

Marketable Securities

      Marketable securities are comprised of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, U.S. government securities, corporate medium-term notes, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and equity securities that are publicly-traded. Management determines the appropriate classification of marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value as determined by the most recently traded price of each security at the balance sheet date.

      At April 1, 2001, commitments to extend long-term financing by QUALCOMM to certain CDMA customers of Ericsson totaled approximately $587 million. The commitment to fund $400 million of this amount expires on November 6, 2003. The Company expects to fund the remaining $187 million commitment through fiscal 2007. The financing commitments are subject to the CDMA customers meeting conditions prescribed in the financing agreements and, in certain cases, to Ericsson also financing a portion of such sales and services. Such financing is generally collateralized by the related equipment. Commitments represent the estimated amounts to be financed under these arrangements; actual financing may be in lesser amounts.

Note 5 — Other Investments

      The Company makes strategic investments in companies that have developed or are developing innovative wireless data applications and wireless carriers that promote the worldwide deployment of CDMA2000 1x/1xEV systems. Investments in corporate entities with less than a 20% voting interest are generally accounted for under the cost method. The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in corporate entities in which it has a voting interest of 20% to 50% and other than minor to 50% ownership interests in partnerships and limited liability corporations, or in which it otherwise has the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company holds warrants to purchase equity interests in certain other companies related to its strategic investment and financing activities. Warrants to purchase equity interests in publicly-traded companies are accounted for at fair value.

Globalstar LP

      Through partnership interests held in certain intermediate limited partnerships, the Company owns a 6.3% partnership interest in Globalstar LP (Globalstar), a limited partnership formed to develop, own and

operate the Globalstar low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellite system utilizing CDMA technology (the Globalstar System). The Company has contracts with Globalstar to design, develop and manufacture subscriber products and ground communications equipment.

      On January 16, 2001, Globalstar announced that, in order to have sufficient funds available for the continued progress of its marketing and service activities, it has suspended indefinitely principal and interest payments on all of its debt, including its vendor financing obligations. As a result, Globalstar did not make an approximate $22 million payment for principal and interest due to QUALCOMM on January 15, 2001. Globalstar also announced the retention of a financial adviser to assist in developing future initiatives, including restructuring Globalstar’s debt, identifying funding opportunities and pursuing other strategic alternatives. As a result of these developments, QUALCOMM assessed the recoverability of all assets and considered probable exposures related to the Globalstar business. During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded charges of $48 million in cost of revenues, $481 million in asset impairment and related charges, $10 million in investment expense and $57 million in other non-operating charges related primarily to the impairment of certain assets. During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded adjustments to certain reserves related to the Globalstar business, and accordingly, the net charges recorded by the Company in cost of revenues and for asset impairment and related charges totaled $47 million and $476 million, respectively, during the six months ended April 1, 2001. At April 1, 2001, the Company has approximately $54 million in net assets remaining, primarily consisting of finance receivables, accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets, related to the Globalstar business. Starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company decided to not recognize revenue on business with Globalstar before cash is received. During the three months and six months ended April 1, 2001, the Company recorded $15 million and $16 million in revenue, respectively, related to cash received from Globalstar.

Wingcast, LLC

      In July 2000, Ford Motor Company and QUALCOMM announced the creation of a new company, Wingcast, LLC (Wingcast), that will develop and deliver wireless mobility services, including safety and security, information and communications, and entertainment and mobile commerce, into cars and trucks. QUALCOMM committed to contribute $125 million to the initial capital of Wingcast, of which $75 million is payable in cash and $50 million is payable in non-cash consideration. QUALCOMM may be further committed to fund an additional $75 million in cash upon vehicle manufacturers committing to enable certain volumes of vehicles to use Wingcast’s services. At April 1, 2001, $63 million of the $75 million cash commitment is outstanding, and Wingcast had not met the performance milestones related to the additional $75 million cash commitment. Performance milestones must be completed by April 2003 or before Wingcast’s initial public offering. The Company expects to fund the remaining commitment through fiscal year 2003.

Inquam Limited

      In October 2000, the Company agreed to invest $200 million in the convertible preferred shares of Inquam Limited (Inquam). Inquam was formed to acquire, own, develop and manage wireless telecommunication systems, either directly or indirectly, with the primary intent of deploying CDMA-based technology. In addition, the Company advanced $10 million under a promissory note that matures on October 31, 2001 and bears interest at 10%. At April 1, 2001, $157 million of the equity funding commitment is outstanding. The Company expects to fund the remaining commitment through June 2002.

QUALCOMM/ Hansol iV CDMA Fund

      In December 2000, the Company announced the formation of a South Korean partnership fund, QUALCOMM/ Hansol iV CDMA Fund, with Hansol i Ventures Co., Ltd. to invest in South Korean start-up companies engaged in the development and commercialization of CDMA products to support the adoption of

CDMA and the use of the wireless Internet. QUALCOMM committed to contribute approximately $27 million to the initial capital of the fund. At April 1, 2001, $13 million of the equity funding commitment is outstanding. The Company expects to fund the remaining commitment during calendar 2001.

Other

      Funding commitments related to other strategic investments total $40 million at April 1, 2001, which the Company expects to fund through December 2003. Such commitments may be subject to the investees meeting certain conditions; actual equity funding may be in lesser amounts.

Note 6 — Bank Line of Credit

      The Company had an unsecured credit facility under which banks were committed to make up to $400 million in revolving loans to the Company, maturing in March 2001. Effective January 26, 2001, QUALCOMM terminated this facility.

Note 7 — Income Taxes

      The Company currently estimates its annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 45% for fiscal 2001, compared to 44% for fiscal 2000. The expected annual effective tax rate for fiscal 2001 increased primarily due to lower pre-tax earnings relative to nondeductible charges, offset by lower taxes related to earnings outside of the United States.

Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

      On or about June 5, 1997, Elisra Electronic Systems Ltd. (Elisra) submitted to the International Chamber of Commerce a Request for Arbitration of a dispute with the Company based upon a Development and Supply Agreement (DSA) entered into between the parties effective November 15, 1995, alleging that the Company wrongfully terminated the DSA, and seeking monetary damages. The Company thereafter submitted a Reply and Counterclaim, alleging that Elisra breached the DSA, and seeking monetary damages. Subsequently, the parties stipulated that the dispute be heard before an arbitrator under the jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association, and to bifurcate the resolution of liability issues from damage issues. In April, 2001, the Arbitrator ruled in the Company’s favor on Elisra’s claims and denied the Company’s counterclaims. While the plaintiffs have asked for modification of the ruling, the Company anticipates no further proceedings at this time.

      On May 6, 1999, Thomas Sprague, a former employee of the Company, filed a putative class action against the Company, ostensibly on behalf of himself and those of the Company’s former employees who were offered employment with Ericsson in conjunction with the sale to Ericsson of certain of the Company’s infrastructure division assets and liabilities. The complaint and subsequent amendments, filed in the California Superior Court in San Diego state several causes of action against the Company arising primarily out of breaches of the Company’s 1991 Stock Option plan and upon various allegedly fraudulent behavior by the Company. On September 15, 2000, the Court certified the case as a class action, and subsequently approximately 206 individuals in the potential class opted out of the class. On December 8, 2000, the Court granted summary judgment as to all class members who had not opted out and who had participated in the Retention Bonus Plan, dismissing all claims filed on their behalf, leaving approximately 35 plaintiffs remaining in the case. On January 19, 2001, the Court decertified the class action as to all claims except for plaintiffs’ claims based upon alleged breach of the plaintiffs’ stock option agreements. On February 23, 2001, the parties stipulated to a settlement of the action for payment by QUALCOMM of $11 million, which is being funded

by third parties, to the over 800 remaining class members. On April 23, 2001, the Court approved the settlement.

      On December 14, 2000, 77 former QUALCOMM employees who had opted out of the above-referenced Sprague v. QUALCOMM lawsuit filed a lawsuit against the Company in the District Court for Boulder County, Colorado, alleging claims for intentional misrepresentation, nondisclosure and concealment, violation of C.R.S. Section 8-2-104 (obtaining workers by misrepresentation), breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, promissory estoppel, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, violation of California Labor Code Section 970, violation of California Civil Code Sections 1709 – 1710, rescission, violation of California Business & Professions Code Section 17200 and violation of California Civil Code Section 1575. The Company has moved for summary judgment as to all claims on the grounds that the plaintiffs had executed releases of claims in favor of the Company. Although there can be no assurance that an unfavorable outcome of the dispute would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position, the Company believes the claims are without merit and will vigorously defend the action.

      On June 29, 1999, GTE Wireless, Incorporated (GTE) filed an action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia asserting that wireless telephones sold by the Company infringe a single patent allegedly owned by GTE. On September 15, 1999, the court granted the Company’s motion to transfer the action to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California. No trial date is presently set in this case. Although there can be no assurance that an unfavorable outcome of the dispute would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position, the Company believes the action is without merit and will vigorously defend the action.

      On February 2, 2000, Thomas Durante, James Curley, Curtis Parker and Joseph Edwards, filed a putative class action against the Company, ostensibly on behalf of themselves and those former employees of the Company whose employment was terminated in April 1999. Virtually all of the purported class of plaintiffs received severance packages at the time of the termination of their employment, in exchange for a release of claims, other than federal age discrimination claims, against the Company. The complaint was filed in California Superior Court in and for the County of Los Angeles and purports to state ten causes of action including breach of contract, age discrimination, violation of Labor Code Section 200, violation of Labor Code Section 970, unfair business practices, intentional infliction of emotional distress, unjust enrichment, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, declaratory relief and undue influence. The complaint seeks an order accelerating all unvested stock options for the members of the class. On June 27, 2000, the case was ordered transferred from Los Angeles County Superior Court to San Diego County Superior Court. On July 3, 2000, the Company removed the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, and discovery has commenced. In February, 2001 the court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ disparate impact age discrimination claims, and the plaintiffs have moved for reconsideration of that ruling. In addition, the Company has moved the court to dismiss all claims asserted by the plaintiffs except for federal age discrimination claims on the grounds that the releases that they had executed barred their claims. A hearing on plaintiffs’ motion to certify the case as a class action has been set for later this year. Although there can be no assurance that an unfavorable outcome of the dispute would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position, the Company believes the claims are without merit and will vigorously defend the action.

      On June 13, 2000, Van May, Ruth Ann Feldman, Jeffrey Alan MacGuire and Maurice Clark filed a putative class action lawsuit in San Diego County Superior Court against the Company and against QUALCOMM Personal Electronics (QPE), ostensibly on behalf of themselves and other former employees of QPE who were offered benefits in QPE’s Performance Unit Plan. The complaint purports to state seven causes of action, including breach of contract, violation of California Labor Code Section 970, fraud, unfair business practices, unjust enrichment, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing and declaratory

relief. The parties have tentatively agreed to a resolution of the action in which the plaintiffs will dismiss the action in exchange for the Company’s agreement not to make malicious prosecution or attorney fees claims against them.

      On March 13, 2001, approximately 70 former QUALCOMM employees who had opted out of the above-referenced Sprague v. QUALCOMM lawsuit filed a lawsuit against the Company in San Diego County Superior Court alleging breach of contract, fraud, rescission, specific performance, and work, labor and services performed. Although there can be no assurance that an unfavorable outcome of the dispute would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position, the Company believes the claims are without merit and will vigorously defend the action.

      On March 30, 2001, Zoltar Satellite Alarm Systems, Inc. filed suit against the Company and SnapTrack, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, alleging infringement of three patents. Although there can be no assurance that an unfavorable outcome of this dispute would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, liquidity or financial position, the Company believes the claims are without merit and will vigorously defend the action.

      The Company is engaged in other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business and believes that the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, liquidity or financial position.

Letters of Credit, Financial Guarantees and Other Financial Commitments

      On December 22, 1999 and April 25, 2000, the Company and Pegaso Telecomunicaciones, S.A. de C.V. (Pegaso) executed commitment letters in which the Company agreed to underwrite up to $500 million of debt financing to Pegaso and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pegaso Comunicaciones y Sistemas, a CDMA wireless operating company in Mexico. The debt financing will consist of a $250 million senior secured facility and a $250 million unsecured facility. The debt facilities are expected to have final maturities of seven to eight years. In March 2001, the Company agreed to increase the amount available under a $315 million bridge facility, including capitalized interest, provided to Pegaso to $409 million, including a $175 million guarantee, $185 million in funding from QUALCOMM, and $49 million for capitalized interest. QUALCOMM earns a guarantee fee of 6.25% per annum and interest at LIBOR plus 6% for the remaining facility. The bridge facility will be prepaid and cancelled upon funding of the $250 million senior secured facility and the $250 million unsecured facility. At April 1, 2001, $351 million is outstanding under the bridge facility, with $50 million remaining to be funded by QUALCOMM and $8 million available for interest capitalization.

      In December 2000, the Company and VeloCom Inc., an investor in CDMA telecommunications operators in Latin America, executed a Term Loan Agreement in which the Company agreed to provide $230 million of convertible debt financing, including $30 million for capitalized interest. The debt facility has a three year term and bears interest at 18%. At April 1, 2001, $86 million is outstanding under this facility.

      In addition to these debt financing commitments, the Company has $72 million of letters of credit and $7 million of other financial guarantees and commitments outstanding as of April 1, 2001, none of which are collateralized.

Note 9 — Segment Information

      During the second quarter of fiscal 2001, management decided that certain impairment and other charges would not be allocated to the applicable segments in assessing segment performance and allocating resources for management reporting purposes. As such, results for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 have been revised in the six months ended April 1, 2001 to reflect the impact of this methodology on previously reported first quarter fiscal 2001 segment results. Segment results for the comparable periods in the prior fiscal year have not been revised as there were no similar charges allocated to the segments.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

      This information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended September 24, 2000 contained in the Company’s 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ substantially from those referred to herein due to a number of factors, including but not limited to risks associated with: macroeconomic trends worldwide; potential declines in the rate of growth in the CDMA subscriber base; the scale-up, acceptance and operations of CDMA systems, including cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1x/1xEV, and WCDMA products; integrated circuit orders and inventory levels; strategic opportunities or acquisitions, divestitures and investments the Company may pursue, including investments in new ventures and operators, and the proposed spin-off of its integrated circuits and system software solutions; changes in the fair values of marketable securities and derivative instruments held; the success of the Globalstar business; developments in current or future litigation; potential component shortages, including shortage of supplier manufacturing capacity; the ability to develop and introduce cost effective new products in a timely manner; the ability to effectively manage growth; the intense competition in the wireless communications industry; the timing and collection of license fees and royalties; international business activities; and accounts receivable and finance receivables, as well as the other risks detailed in the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year ended September 24, 2000. The Company’s consolidated financial data includes SnapTrack, Inc. and other consolidated subsidiaries of the Company.

Overview

      QUALCOMM designs, develops, manufactures and markets digital wireless communications products and services based on its CDMA and other technologies. The Company licenses and receives royalty payments on its CDMA technology from major domestic and international telecommunications equipment suppliers. QUALCOMM is a leading developer and supplier worldwide of CDMA-based wireless communication integrated circuits and system software solutions for voice and data communications products and services. In addition, the Company designs, manufactures and distributes products and provides services for its OmniTRACS system. On July 25, 2000, QUALCOMM announced the proposed spin-off and initial public offering (IPO) of its integrated circuits and system software solutions business. In connection with this announcement, QUALCOMM filed a Current Report on Form 8-K dated July 25, 2000. The Company expects to proceed with the spin-off by the fall of 2001, subject to approval by QUALCOMM’s Board of Directors and other factors, in the form of a 100% tax-free distribution of common stock of QUALCOMM Spinco, Inc. (Spinco) to QUALCOMM shareholders as of a record date to be determined. At present, the Company does not plan an IPO of Spinco stock prior to the spin-off.

      The Company has contracts with Globalstar LP (Globalstar) to design, develop and manufacture subscriber products and ground communications equipment. On January 16, 2001, Globalstar announced that, in order to have sufficient funds available for the continued progress of its marketing and service activities, it has suspended indefinitely principal and interest payments on all of its debt, including its vendor financing obligations. As a result, Globalstar did not make an approximate $22 million payment for principal and interest due to QUALCOMM on January 15, 2001. Globalstar also announced the retention of a financial adviser to assist in developing future initiatives, including restructuring Globalstar’s debt, identifying funding opportunities and pursuing other strategic alternatives. As a result of these developments, QUALCOMM assessed the recoverability of all assets and considered probable exposures related to the Globalstar business. During the first six months of fiscal 2001, the Company recorded charges of $47 million in cost of revenues, $476 million in asset impairment and related charges, $10 million in investment expense and $57 million in other non-operating charges related primarily to the impairment of certain assets. At April 1, 2001, the Company has approximately $54 million in net assets remaining, primarily consisting of finance receivables,

accounts receivable, inventory and fixed assets, related to the Globalstar business. Starting in the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company decided to not recognize revenue on business with Globalstar before cash is received. The Company expects its Globalstar-related revenues to be significantly lower for the balance of fiscal 2001 than the comparable periods of the prior year despite on-going sales of equipment and services to support both continued operations and the addition of high-speed data capability.

      The Company intends to continue making strategic investments to promote the worldwide adoption of CDMA products and services for wireless voice and Internet data communications. In general, the Company enters into strategic relationships with CDMA carriers and developers of innovative technologies or products for the wireless industry. In November 2000, QUALCOMM announced the formation of QUALCOMM Ventures, an internal organization that selects and manages strategic investments in early stage companies and, from time to time, venture funds or incubators, to support the adoption of CDMA and use of the wireless Internet. Most of the Company’s strategic investments entail a high degree of risk and will not become liquid until more than one year from the date of investment, if at all. To the extent such investments become liquid and meet strategic objectives, QUALCOMM will attempt to make regular periodic sales that will be recognized in net investment income. During the balance of fiscal 2001, the Company may reduce the planned sale of small portions of certain equity investments until market conditions improve. QUALCOMM may be required to recognize losses from time to time if it determines that decreases in the value of particular investments have become other than temporary.

      In December 2000, QUALCOMM announced a new CDMA license program designed to allow selected early stage companies to issue equity to QUALCOMM as a means of paying part of the license fees payable under QUALCOMM’s CDMA license agreements. The Company records license fee revenues based on the fair value of the equity instruments received. The measurement date for determination of fair value is the earlier of the date on which the parties establish a commitment to perform or the date at which the performance is complete. The evaluation procedures used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, examining the current market price for the shares if the licensee is publicly traded, examining recent rounds of financing and the licensee’s business plan if not publicly traded, and performing other due diligence procedures. The new program will not affect the licensees’ obligation to pay royalties under their CDMA license agreements. During the three and six months ended April 1, 2001, the Company recognized $4 and $8 million, respectively, in revenue for equity received in connection with new licensees.

      In January 2001, QUALCOMM announced its development of an open applications platform for CDMA-based wireless devices to provide solutions for the wireless industry as it moves toward wireless Internet convergence. The platform, QUALCOMM’s Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW), is a thin applications environment that provides applications developers with an open, standard platform for wireless devices on which to develop their products. The BREW platform will leverage the capabilities available in QUALCOMM CDMA Technologies’ (QCT) integrated circuits, system software and Wireless Internet Launchpad software, enabling development of feature-rich applications and content while reducing memory overhead and maximizing system performance. When it is commercially deployed by carriers, the BREW platform will also enable over-the-air downloads of applications by end users directly to their BREW-enabled handsets. The BREW platform will be provided and supported by QUALCOMM Internet Services (QIS), a division formed in November 2000 to focus on CDMA applications and services development.

      In March 2001, the Company announced that 3G Investments (Australia) Pty Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of QUALCOMM, has been awarded 2x10 MHz licenses in the Australian third-generation (3G) wireless spectrum auctions. The Company entered the auctions to acquire appropriate spectrum to support a high-capacity CDMA2000 1x/ 1xEV system in Australia, a country with significant CDMA growth prospects. QUALCOMM’s successful participation in numerous spectrum auctions in the past has resulted in nationwide CDMA networks being deployed in other countries, including Mexico, Chile and Brazil. QUALCOMM is preparing to deploy CDMA2000 1x/ 1xEV networks in Australia with commercial 3G service planned in 2002. The Company made a $75 million deposit, recorded in other assets, toward the approximate $84 million acquisition price during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and expects to pay the final installment during the third quarter of fiscal 2001. The licenses will be issued when the final installment is paid and can be used for commercial service starting in October 2002. The licenses will cover a total of 12 million

potential customers (POPs) in eight major markets, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart, Darwin and Canberra.

      In March 2001, the Company transferred a $125 million Auction Discount Voucher (ADV) to Leap Wireless International, Inc. (Leap Wireless) to support its spectrum acquisition activities in the FCC’s current auction of PCS spectrum. The transfer was funded under the Company’s $125 million senior credit facility with Leap Wireless, and the $125 million note receivable is included in other assets. The facility is scheduled to be repaid in a lump sum payment, including principal and accrued interest, no later than March 9, 2006. The facility will bear interest at LIBOR plus 7.5%. The Company deferred the recognition of income related to the exchange due to Leap Wireless’ right to return the ADV in satisfaction of the note within two years upon the occurrence of certain future events.

      QUALCOMM’s corporate headquarters, research and development and some manufacturing facilities are located in the state of California, which has recently experienced temporary localized electricity outages, or rolling blackouts, which may continue or worsen into blackouts of longer duration in the future. These blackouts could cause disruptions to a portion of QUALCOMM’s operations and to the operations of QUALCOMM’s suppliers, distributors and resellers, and customers, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results.

      The Company was required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (FAS 133), “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as of the beginning of fiscal 2001. FAS 133 requires certain derivative instruments to be recorded at fair value. After adoption of FAS 133, unrealized gains and losses on these derivative instruments are recorded in the income statement. The Company recorded a $129 million gain, net of taxes, as the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle as of the beginning of fiscal 2001. The cumulative effect of the accounting change related primarily to the recognition of the unrealized gain on a warrant to purchase 4,500,000 shares of Leap Wireless common stock issued to the Company in connection with its spin-off of Leap Wireless in September 1998. Additionally, the Company recorded $148 million in pre-tax unrealized losses on derivative instruments during the six months ended April 1, 2001, primarily resulting from a decline in the market price of Leap Wireless stock which reduced the fair value of the Leap Wireless warrant. The new requirement to record unrealized gains and losses on these instruments in the income statement may cause substantial quarterly and annual fluctuations in operating results due to stock market volatility. See “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 1 — Basis of Presentation” and “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.”

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2001 Compared to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2000

      Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were $713 million compared to $728 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 included $79 million in revenue related to the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone business which was sold in February 2000. Excluding the revenue of the business sold from the second quarter of fiscal 2000, total revenues increased by $64 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. The increase is primarily related to higher unit shipments of integrated circuits to wireless device manufactures, higher royalties and license fees, and higher OmniTRACS messaging revenue, offset by lower revenues related to the business with Globalstar, a decrease in OmniTRACS domestic unit shipments, and decreases in average selling prices of integrated circuits.

      Cost of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 was $253 million compared to $350 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Total cost of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 included $115 million in cost of revenues related to the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone business which was sold in February 2000. Excluding the cost of revenues of the business sold from the second quarter of fiscal 2000, total cost of revenues increased by $18 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 36% for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and 36% for the second quarter of fiscal 2000, excluding revenues and cost of revenues related to the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone business which was sold in February 2000. Although the percentage of revenues remained consistent, lower revenues related to the business with Globalstar negatively affected margins during the second quarter of fiscal 2001, but the effect was offset by a higher percentage of revenues from royalties and OmniTRACS messaging

services. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues may fluctuate in future quarters depending on the mix of products sold and services provided, royalties and license fees earned, competitive pricing, new product introduction costs and other factors.

      For the second quarter of fiscal 2001, research and development expenses were $106 million or 15% of revenues, compared to $90 million or 12% of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The dollar and percentage increases in research and development expenses were primarily due to new product development to support high-speed wireless Internet access and multi-mode, multi-band, multi-network, products including cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1x/1xEV, GSM/ GPRS, WCDMA and position location technologies, offset by a decrease in terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone products research and development as a result of exiting this business in February 2000.

      For the second quarter of fiscal 2001, selling, general and administrative expenses were $87 million or 12% of revenues, compared to $97 million or 13% of revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The dollar and percentage decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses from the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was primarily due to a decrease in marketing costs for terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone products as a result of the sale of the business in February 2000 and a decrease in legal expense, offset by an increase in expanded international business in Japan, China, South Korea, and Europe and higher advertising and trade show expenses related to the expansion of the integrated circuit customer base and product portfolio and marketing expenses for the introduction of BREW software platform for CDMA phones.

      Amortization of goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets was $63 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to $21 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. For the second quarter of fiscal 2001, no purchased in-process technology was recorded, compared to $60 million in second quarter of fiscal 2000. The increase in amortization in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 and the purchased in-process technology charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 resulted from the acquisition of SnapTrack in March 2000. See “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 2 — Acquisitions.”

      For the second quarter of fiscal 2001, asset impairment and related credits were $8 million, compared to charges of $20 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Asset impairment and related credits during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were comprised primarily of adjustments to certain reserves related to the Globalstar business and adjustments to certain reserves related to the sale of the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone business. Asset impairment and related charges during the second quarter of fiscal 2000 were primarily related to the sale of the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone business in February 2000.

      For the second quarter of fiscal 2001, there were no other operating expenses, compared to $17 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Other operating expenses during the first six months of fiscal 2000 were comprised primarily of employee termination and other costs related to the sale of the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone business.

      Interest expense was $2 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to $1 million for the second quarter fiscal 2000. Although the expense remained relatively consistent, the Company incurred interest charges related to an arbitration decision against the Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2001, but the effect was offset by lower interest expense resulting from decreased bank borrowings.

      Net investment income was $99 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to net investment income of $334 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Net investment income for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 was primarily comprised of $71 million in interest income, $30 million in net realized gains on marketable securities, and $12 million related to the change in unrealized gain on derivative instruments. The decrease was primarily due to a $237 million reduction in net realized gains on marketable securities.

      For the second quarter of fiscal 2001, there were no distributions on Trust Convertible Preferred Securities due to the conversion of all remaining Trust Convertible Preferred Securities into common stock during the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The Company recorded $2 million in distributions for the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

21


Table of Contents

      For the second quarter of fiscal 2000, the Company recorded $3 million in net non-operating other charges, including $6 million in charges relating to amounts advanced to Metrosvyaz, offset by a $3 million release of reserves as a result of a settlement related to a non-operating liability.

      The income tax expense was $159 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to an income tax expense of $199 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The annual effective tax rate is expected to be 45% for fiscal 2001, compared to 44% for fiscal 2000. The higher tax rate is primarily a result of lower pre-tax earnings relative to nondeductible charges, offset by lower taxes related to earnings outside of the United States. The Company has provided a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets because of uncertainty regarding their realizability due to the expectation that deductions from future employee stock option exercises will exceed future taxable income. The Company’s net deferred tax assets decreased by $18 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2001, and the resulting decrease in the valuation allowance was reflected as a increase to stockholders’ equity.

First Six Months of Fiscal 2001 Compared to First Six Months of Fiscal 2000

      Total revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2001 were $1,397 million compared to $1,848 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000. Total revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2000 included $435 million in revenue related to the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone business which was sold in February 2000. Excluding the revenue of the business sold from the first six months of fiscal 2000, total revenues decreased by $16 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to the decision to not recognize revenue on business with Globalstar before cash is received, lower shipments of Globalstar portable and fixed phones to service providers, a decrease in OmniTRACS domestic unit shipments, and decreases in average selling prices of integrated circuits, offset by higher royalties and license fees, higher unit shipments of integrated circuits to wireless device manufactures, and higher OmniTRACS messaging revenue. Revenue from Kyocera Wireless Corp. and Samsung Electronics Company (Samsung), customers of both QCT and QTL, comprised an aggregate of 13% and 14% of total consolidated revenues, respectively, in the first six months of 2001, compared to an aggregate of 10% from Samsung in the first six months of fiscal 2000.

      Cost of revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2001 was $549 million compared to $999 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000. Total cost of revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2000 included $433 million in cost of revenues related to the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone business which was sold in February 2000. Excluding the cost of revenues of the business sold from the first six months of fiscal 2000, total cost of revenues decreased by $17 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001, and cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was 39% for the first six months of fiscal 2001 and 40% for the first six months of fiscal 2000. The decision to not recognize revenue on business with Globalstar before cash is received negatively affected margins during the first six months of fiscal 2001, but the effect was offset by a higher percentage of revenues from royalties and license fees and OmniTRACS messaging services. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues may fluctuate in future quarters depending on the mix of products sold and services provided, royalties and license fees earned, competitive pricing, new product introduction costs and other factors.

      For the first six months of fiscal 2001, research and development expenses were $192 million or 14% of revenues, compared to $174 million or 9% of revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2000. The dollar and percentage increases in research and development expenses were primarily due to increased integrated circuit product initiatives to support high-speed wireless Internet access and multi-mode, multi-band, multi-network, products including cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1x/1xEV, GSM/ GPRS, WCDMA and position location technologies, offset by a decrease in terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone products research and development as a result of exiting this business in February 2000.

      For the first six months of fiscal 2001, selling, general and administrative expenses were $167 million or 12% of revenues, compared to $199 million or 11% of revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2000. The dollar decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses from the first six months of fiscal 2000 was due primarily to a decrease in marketing costs for terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone products as a

22


Table of Contents

result of the sale of the business in February 2000. The percentage increase is primarily due to expanded international business in Japan, China, South Korea, and Europe and higher advertising and trade show expenses related to the expansion of the integrated circuit customer base and product portfolio.

      Amortization of goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets was $126 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001, compared to $21 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. For the first six months of fiscal 2001, no purchased in-process technology was recorded, compared to $60 million in first six months of fiscal 2000. The increase in amortization in the first six months of fiscal 2001 and the purchased in-process technology charge in the first six months of fiscal 2000 resulted from the acquisition of SnapTrack in March 2000. See “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 2 — Acquisitions.”

      For the first six months of fiscal 2001, asset impairment and related charges were $473 million, compared to $46 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000. Asset impairment and related charges during the first six months of fiscal 2001 were comprised primarily of charges resulting from management’s determination that certain assets related to the Globalstar business were impaired. Asset impairment and related charges during the first six months of fiscal 2000 were primarily related to the sale of the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone business in February 2000.

      For the first six months of fiscal 2001, other operating expenses were $69 million, compared to $18 million in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Other operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2001 were primarily related to a $69 million arbitration decision against the Company. Other operating expenses during the first six months of fiscal 2000 were comprised primarily of employee termination and other costs related to the sale of the terrestrial-based CDMA wireless consumer phone business.

      Interest expense was $10 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001, compared to $4 million for the first six months fiscal 2000. The increase was primarily related to interest charges resulting from an arbitration decision against the Company, offset by lower interest expense resulting from decreased bank borrowings.

      Net investment expense was $132 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to net investment income of $370 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000. Net investment expense for the first six months of fiscal 2001 was primarily comprised of $140 million in interest income and $51 million in net realized gains on marketable securities, offset by $147 million in unrealized other than temporary losses on marketable securities and $148 million unrealized loss on derivative instruments in accordance with FAS 133. The decrease was primarily due to the $148 million in unrealized losses on derivative instruments, $147 million in unrealized losses related to other than temporary losses on marketable securities, a $10 million charge related to the recognition of an other than temporary loss on the Company’s investment in Globalstar Telecommunications, Ltd., a $10 million increase in equity losses and a $219 million reduction in realized gains on the sale of marketable securities, which were offset by a $31 million increase in interest income, primarily related to interest earned on finance receivables and higher cash balances and interest rates.

      There were no distributions on Trust Convertible Preferred Securities in the first six months of fiscal 2001 due to the conversion of all remaining Trust Convertible Preferred Securities into common stock during the second quarter months of fiscal 2000. The Company recorded $13 million in distributions for the first six months of fiscal 2000.

      Other non-operating charges were $57 million in the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to $3 million in first six months of fiscal 2000. The Company recorded $57 million in other non-operating charges in the first six months of fiscal 2001 to write down the recorded values of a note receivable from Globalstar and warrants to acquire partnership interests in Globalstar to their estimated fair values.

      The income tax benefit was $171 million for the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to an income tax expense of $305 million for the first six months of fiscal 2000. The annual effective tax rate is expected to be 45% for fiscal 2001, compared to 44% for fiscal 2000. The higher tax rate is primarily a result of lower pre-tax earnings relative to nondeductible charges, offset by lower taxes related to earnings outside of the United States. The Company has provided a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets because of uncertainty regarding their realizability due to the expectation that deductions from future employee stock option exercises will exceed future taxable income. The Company’s net deferred tax assets increased by $402 million

in the first six months of fiscal 2001, and the resulting increase in the valuation allowance was reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity.

      The Company recorded a $129 million gain, net of taxes, in the first six months of fiscal 2001 as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle at September 25, 2000. The cumulative effect of the accounting change related primarily to the unrealized gain on a warrant to purchase 4,500,000 shares of Leap Wireless common stock issued to the Company in connection with its spin-off of Leap Wireless in September 1998. See “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 1 — Basis of Presentation.”

      QCT segment revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were $364 million compared to $279 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Earnings before taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were $85 million compared to $90 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Revenues increased due to higher unit shipments of MSM integrated circuits to wireless device manufacturers, offset by the decrease in the average selling prices of integrated circuits. The decrease in earnings before taxes was primarily due to increased research and development primarily associated with new integrated circuit product and technology initiatives to support high-speed wireless Internet access and multi-band, multi-mode, multi-network, products including cdmaOne, CDMA2000 1x/1xEV, GSM/ GPRS, WCDMA and position location technologies, as well as increased marketing and advertising expenses. Approximately 16 million MSM integrated circuits were sold during the second quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to approximately 11 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Uncertainty in global economic conditions has resulted in recent reductions in chip demand from customers for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2001.

Technology Licensing Segment (QTL)

      QTL segment revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were $229 million compared to $168 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Earnings before taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were $210 million compared to $150 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Growth in revenues and earnings before taxes was due to an increase in worldwide demand for products based on CDMA technologies resulting in higher royalties and license fees, as well as the receipt of higher royalties during the second quarter of fiscal 2001 related to sales by licensees during the first quarter of fiscal 2001 as compared to previously recognized estimated amounts.

Wireless Systems Segment (QWS)

      QWS segment revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 were $95 million compared to $188 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Earnings before taxes for the second quarter of fiscal 2001 of $18 million compared to earnings before taxes of $83 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2000. Revenues and earnings decreased primarily due to the decision to not recognize revenue on business with Globalstar before cash is received, lower shipments of Globalstar portable and fixed phones to service providers, and a decrease in OmniTRACS domestic unit demand, offset by an increase in OmniTRACS messaging services revenue. The Company shipped approximately 9,000 OmniTRACS and other related communication systems during the second quarter of fiscal 2001, compared to approximately 16,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease in unit shipments is due to U.S. economic conditions affecting the domestic long-haul trucking industry. The Company shipped less than 1,000 Globalstar portable and fixed phones in the second quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to 12,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2000. The decrease in unit shipments is due to

the slow ramp-up of subscriber growth realized by the Globalstar service providers, the pending reorganization of Globalstar and other uncertainties related to the Globalstar business.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities balances of $2,315 million at April 1, 2001, including interest to be earned thereon, will be used to fund its working and other capital requirements, including investments in other companies and other assets to support the growth of its business, financing for customers of CDMA infrastructure products in accordance with the agreement with Ericsson, financing under agreements with CDMA telecommunications operators, and other commitments. In the event additional needs for cash arise, the Company may raise additional funds from a combination of sources including potential debt and equity issuance. On July 25, 2000, QUALCOMM announced the proposed spin-off and IPO of its integrated circuits and system software solutions business. The Company expects to proceed with the spin-off by the fall of 2001, subject to approval by QUALCOMM’s Board of Directors and other factors, in the form of a 100% tax-free distribution of common stock of Spinco to QUALCOMM shareholders as of a record date to be determined. At present, the Company does not plan an IPO of Spinco stock prior to the spin-off.

      In the first six months of fiscal 2001, $373 million in cash was provided by operating activities, compared to $336 million in cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2000. Cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of fiscal 2001 and fiscal 2000 includes $578 million and $608 million, respectively, of net cash flow provided by operations offset by $205 million and $272 million, respectively, of net working capital requirements. Net working capital requirements for the first six months of fiscal 2001 primarily reflect an increase in finance receivables and inventories and a reduction in payroll, benefits and other current liabilities, offset by a decrease in accounts receivable.

      In the first six months of fiscal 2001, $46 million in cash was used by the Company in investing activities, including $184 million for other investments and acquisitions, $123 million for the issuance of notes receivable, $75 million for the purchase of wireless licenses and $46 million in capital expenditures, offset by $374 million in net purchases and maturities of held-to-maturity securities marketable securities. The Company intends to continue its strategic investment activities to promote the worldwide adoption of CDMA products and the growth of CDMA-based wireless data and CDMA-based wireless Internet products and solutions. As part of these investment activities, QUALCOMM may provide financing to facilitate the marketing and sale of CDMA equipment by authorized suppliers.

      In the first six months of fiscal 2001, the Company’s financing activities provided $73 million, comprised primarily of the issuance of common stock under the Company’s stock option and employee stock purchase plans. In the first six months of fiscal 2000, the Company’s financing activities used $30 million, including $112 million in net repayments under bank lines of credit, offset by $85 million from the issuance of common stock under the Company’s stock option and employee stock purchase plans.

      Negotiations are underway whereby QUALCOMM would invest up to $24 million to fund Summit Wireless PCS, Inc. (Summit Wireless), a CDMA wireless operator. In March 2001, QUALCOMM purchased and assumed a bridge loan and accrued interest from a financial institution in the amount of approximately $7 million. The bridge loan bears interest at the prime rate plus 11.5%. The bridge loan and accrued interest are payable in a lump sum payment on the earlier of June 15, 2001 or the date on which Summit Wireless closes its next round of equity capital.

      Information regarding the Company’s financial commitments at December 31, 2000 is provided in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 3 — Composition of Certain Balance Sheet Captions, Note 5 — Investments in Other Entities, and Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies.”

Future Accounting Requirements

      In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” The SEC staff subsequently amended SAB 101 to provide registrants with additional time to implement SAB 101. The Company is required to adopt SAB 101 by the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, applied retroactively to the first quarter of fiscal 2001. The Company does not expect the adoption of SAB 101 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

      Financial market risks related to interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices are described in the Company’s 2000 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Available-for-sale equity securities and derivative instruments recorded at fair value under FAS 115 and FAS 133, respectively, subject the Company to equity price risk. The recorded value of available-for-sale equity securities decreased to $159 million at April 1, 2001 from $426 million at September 24, 2000. The recorded value of derivative instruments subject to FAS 133 at April 1, 2001 is $112 million. The Company generally invests in companies in the high-technology industry, and typically does not attempt to reduce or eliminate its market exposure on these securities. As of April 1, 2001, four equity positions constituted approximately 87% of the fair value of the available-for-sale equity securities portfolio. During the first six months of fiscal 2001, many high-technology stocks experienced a significant decrease in value, negatively affecting the fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale equity securities. The portfolio’s concentrations in specific companies and industry segments may vary over time, and changes in concentrations may affect the portfolio’s price volatility.

      At April 1, 2001, there have been no other material changes to the market risks described at September 24, 2000. Additionally, the Company does not anticipate any near-term changes in the nature of its market risk exposures or in management’s objectives and strategies with respect to managing such exposures.

Any Officer shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to any matter, right, obligation, determination or election 5 6 which is the responsibility of or which is allocated to the Company herein, provided the Board has delegated such authority to the Officer with respect to such matter, right, obligation, determination or election. 3.3 POWERS OF THE BOARD. In addition to any other powers set forth in the Plan and subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall have the power and authority: (a) to determine the persons to whom, and the time or times at which, Options shall be granted and the number of shares of Stock to be subject to each Option; (b) to designate Options as Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options; (c) to determine the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to each Option (which need not be identical) and any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof, including, without limitation, (i) the exercise price of the Option, (ii) the method of payment for shares purchased upon the exercise of the Option, (iii) the method for satisfaction of any tax withholding obligation arising in connection with the Option or such shares, including by the withholding or delivery of shares of Stock, (iv) the timing, terms and conditions of the exercisability of the Option or the vesting of any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof, (v) the time of the expiration of the Option, (vi) the effect of the Participant's termination of Service on any of the foregoing, and (vii) all other terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to the Option or such shares not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan; (d) to approve one or more forms of Option Agreement; (e) to amend, modify, extend, cancel (subject to the limitations in Section 11) or renew any Option or to waive any restrictions or conditions applicable to any Option or any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof; (f) to accelerate, continue, extend or defer the exercisability of any Option or the vesting of any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof, including with respect to the period following a Participant's termination of Service; (g) to delegate to any proper Officer the authority to grant one or more Options, without further approval of the Board, to any person eligible pursuant to Section 5, other than a person who, at the time of such grant, is an Insider; provided, however, that (i) the exercise price per share of each such Option shall be equal to the Fair Market Value per share of the Stock on the effective date of grant, and (ii) each such Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the appropriate standard form of Option Agreement approved by the Board and shall conform to the provisions of the Plan and such other guidelines as shall be established from time to time by the Board; (h) to determine the Fair Market Value of shares of Stock or other property; (i) to construe, interpret and apply the provisions of the Plan and Options granted under it, in its discretion; to establish, amend and revoke rules and regulations 6 7 for its administration; and to take all such actions and make all such decisions as may be necessary or appropriate for the operation and administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, all such decisions and determinations as may be expressly delegated to the Board by the terms of the Plan. The Board, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Option Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem, in its discretion, necessary, desirable, appropriate or expedient to make the Plan fully effective. 3.4 SCOPE OF REVIEW OF BOARD ACTION.

If the Company is a "publicly held corporation" within the meaning of Section 162(m), the Board may establish a Committee of "outside directors" within the meaning of Section 162(m) to approve the grant of any Option which might reasonably be anticipated to result in the payment of employee remuneration that would otherwise exceed the limit on employee remuneration deductible for income tax purposes pursuant to Section 162(m). 3.7 INDEMNIFICATION. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board or Officers or Employees of the Participating Company Group, members of the Board and any Officers or Employees of the Participating Company Group to whom authority to act for the Board or the Company is delegated shall be indemnified by the Company against all reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, or any right granted hereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties; provided, however, that within sixty 7 8 (60) days after the institution of such action, suit or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its own expense to handle and defend the same, and to retain complete control over the litigation and/or settlement of such suit, action or proceeding. 3.8 ARBITRATION. Any dispute or claim concerning any Options granted (or not granted) pursuant to this Plan and any other disputes or claims relating to or arising out of the Plan shall be fully, finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in San Diego, California. By accepting an Option, Participants and the Company waive their respective rights to have any such disputes or claims tried by a judge or jury. 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN. 4.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be One Hundred Fifty Nine Million, Five Hundred and Forty Thousand, Five Hundred and Seventeen (159,540,517). The share reserve shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Stock or any combination thereof. However, the share reserve, determined at any time, shall be reduced by the number of shares subject to the Prior Plan Options. If an outstanding Option, including a Prior Plan Option, for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled or if shares of Stock are acquired upon the exercise of an Option subject to a Company repurchase option and are repurchased by the Company at the Participant's exercise or purchase price, the shares of Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or Prior Plan Option or such repurchased shares of Stock shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. 4.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Options, in the ISO Share Issuance Limit set forth in Section 4.1, in the Section 162(m) Grant Limit set forth in Section 5.3, and in the exercise price per share of any outstanding Options. If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Options are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event, as defined in Section 2.1(u) shares of another corporation (the "NEW SHARES"), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Options to provide that such Options are exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise price per share of, the outstanding Options shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as determined by the Board, in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in no event may the exercise price of any Option be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the Stock subject to the Option. 8 9 5. ELIGIBILITY AND OPTION LIMITATIONS. 5.1 PERSONS ELIGIBLE FOR OPTIONS. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1, Options may be granted only to Employees, Consultants, and Directors. Options are granted in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board and eligibility in accordance with this Section shall not entitle any person to be granted an Option, or, having been granted an Option, to be granted an additional Option. (b) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to a person who, on the effective date of grant, is an Employee of the Company, a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary Corporation (each being an "ISO-QUALIFYING Corporation"). Any person who is not an Employee of an ISO-Qualifying Corporation on the effective date of the grant of an Option to such person may be granted only a Nonstatutory Stock Option. (c) CONSULTANT OPTIONS. A Consultant shall not be eligible for the grant of an Option if, at the time of grant, a Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act ( "Form S-8") is not available to register either the offer or the sale of the Company's securities to such Consultant because of the nature of the services that the Consultant is providing to the Company, or because the Consultant is not a natural person, or as otherwise provided by the rules governing the use of Form S-8, unless the Company determines both (i) that such grant (A) shall be registered in another manner under the Securities Act (e.g., on a Form S-3 Registration Statement) or (B) does not require registration under the Securities Act in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable, and (ii) that such grant complies with the securities laws of all other relevant jurisdictions. 5.2 FAIR MARKET VALUE LIMITATION. To the extent that Options designated as Incentive Stock Options (granted under all stock plans of the ISO-Qualifying Corporation, including the Plan) become exercisable by a Participant for the first time during any calendar year for stock having a Fair Market Value greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the portions of such Options which exceed such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section, Options designated as Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such stock is granted. If the Code is amended to provide for a different limitation from that set forth in this Section, such different limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the date and with respect to such Options as required or permitted by such amendment to the Code. If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in part and as a Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set forth in this Section, the Participant may designate which portion of such Option the Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the Participant shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option portion of the Option first. 5.3 SECTION 162(m) GRANT LIMIT. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, at any such time as the Company is a "publicly held corporation" within the meaning of Section 162(m), no Employee or prospective Employee shall be granted one or more Options within any fiscal year of the Company which in the aggregate are for the purchase of 9 10 more than Three Million (3,000,000) shares (the "SECTION 162(m) GRANT Limit"). An Option which is canceled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted shall continue to be counted against the Section 162(m) Grant Limit for such period. 6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. Options shall be evidenced by Option Agreements specifying, among other things, the number of shares of Stock covered thereby, in such form as the Board shall from time to time establish. No Option or purported Option shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Option Agreement or by communicating with the Company in such other manner as the Company may authorize. Option Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions: 6.1 EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the discretion of the Board; provided, however, that (A) the exercise price per share for an Option shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option, and (B) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall have an exercise price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. 6.2 EXERCISABILITY AND TERM OF OPTIONS. (a) OPTION EXERCISABILITY. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms, conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the Board and set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option; provided, however, that (A) no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of such Option, and (B) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the effective date of grant of such Option. Subject to the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Board in the grant of an Option, any Option granted hereunder shall terminate ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its provisions, or the terms of the Plan. (b) PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITY FOR EXERCISE OF OPTION. Each Participant is responsible for taking any and all actions as may be required to exercise any Option in a timely manner, and for properly executing any documents as may be required for the exercise of an Option in accordance with such rules and procedures as may be established from time to time. By signing an Option Agreement each Participant acknowledges that information regarding the procedures and requirements for the exercise of any Option is available upon such Participant's request. The Company shall have no duty or obligation to notify any Participant of the expiration date of any Option. 10 11 6.3 PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. (a) FORMS OF CONSIDERATION AUTHORIZED. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value not less than the exercise price, (iii) by delivery of a properly executed notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a "CASHLESS EXERCISE"), (iv) provided that the Participant is an Employee (unless otherwise not prohibited by law, including, without limitation, any regulation promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and in the Company's sole and absolute discretion at the time the Option is exercised, by delivery of the Participant's promissory note in a form approved by the Company for the aggregate exercise price, provided that, if the Company is incorporated in the State of Delaware, the Participant shall pay in cash that portion of the aggregate exercise price not less than the par value of the shares being acquired, (v) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Board from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (vi) by any combination thereof. The Board may at any time or from time to time, by approval of or by amendment to the standard forms of Option Agreement described in Section 7, or by other means, grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration. (b) LIMITATIONS ON FORMS OF CONSIDERATION. (i) TENDER OF STOCK. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock to the extent such tender or attestation would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's stock. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Participant for more than six (6) months (and were not used for another Option exercise by attestation during such period) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company. (ii) CASHLESS EXERCISE. The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise. (iii) PAYMENT BY PROMISSORY NOTE. No promissory note shall be permitted if the exercise of an Option using a promissory note would be a violation of any law. Any permitted promissory note shall be on such terms as the Board shall determine. The Board shall have the authority to permit or require the Participant to secure any promissory note used to exercise an Option with the shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Option or with other collateral acceptable to the Company. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, if the 11 12 Company at any time is subject to the regulations promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other governmental entity affecting the extension of credit in connection with the Company's securities, any promissory note shall comply with such applicable regulations, and the Participant shall pay the unpaid principal and accrued interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with such applicable regulations. 6.4 TRANSFERABILITY. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the person to whom the Incentive Stock Option is granted only by such person. A Nonstatutory Stock Option shall not be transferable in any manner (including without limitation, sale, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, or assignment) other than, (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) by written designation of a beneficiary, in a form acceptable to the Company, with such designation taking effect upon the death of a Participant, (iii) by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form acceptable to the Company (including such representations, warranties and indemnifications as the Company shall require a Participant to make to protect the Company's interests and ensure that this Nonstatutory Stock Option has been transferred under the circumstances approved by the Company), by gift to a Participant's spouse, former spouse, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parent, stepparent, grandparent, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, persons having one of the foregoing types of relationship with a Participant due to adoption, any person sharing a Participant's household (other than a tenant or employee), a foundation in which these persons or the Participant control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests. A transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by these persons (or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in that entity is specifically included as a permissible type of transfer. In addition, a transfer to a trust created solely for the benefit (i.e., a Participant and/or any or all of the foregoing persons hold more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest in the trust) of a Participant and/or any or all of the foregoing persons is also a permissible transferee, or (iv) such other transferees as may be authorized by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. During a Participant's life this Nonstatutory Stock Option is exercisable only by the Participant or a transferee satisfying the above conditions. Except in the event of a Participant's death, upon transfer of a Nonstatutory Stock Option to any or all of the foregoing persons, the Participant, as the Optionee, is liable for any and all taxes due upon exercise of those transferred Nonstatutory Stock Options. At no time will a transferee who is considered an affiliate under Rule 144(a)(1) be able to sell any or all such Stock without complying with Rule 144. The right of a transferee to exercise the transferred portion of this Nonstatutory Stock Option shall terminate in accordance with the Participant's right of exercise under this Nonstatutory Stock Option and is further subject to such representations, warranties and indemnifications from the transferee that the Company requires the transferee to make to protect the Company's interests and ensure that this Nonstatutory Stock Option has been transferred under the circumstances approved by the Company. Once a portion of a Nonstatutory Stock Option is transferred, no further transfer may be made of that portion of the Nonstatutory Stock Option. 12 13 6.5 EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE. (a) OPTION EXERCISABILITY. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Board in the grant of an Option and set forth in the Option Agreement, an Option shall be exercisable after a Participant's termination of Service only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section and thereafter shall terminate. (i) DISABILITY. If the Participant's Service terminates because of the Disability of the Participant, the Option shall continue for the period of such Disability under the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement and may be exercised by the Participant at any time during the period of Disability but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option's term as set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option (the "OPTION EXPIRATION DATE"). (ii) DEATH. If the Participant's Service terminates because of the death or because of the Disability of the Participant and such termination is subsequently followed by the death of the Participant, (A) the exercisability and vesting of the Option and, in the case of an immediately exercisable Option, any Shares acquired upon exercise thereof shall be accelerated effective upon the Participant's death, and (B) the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date of the Participant's death, may be exercised by the Participant's legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Participant's death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date of the Participant's death, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (iii) NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE. If the Participant's Service terminates at or after Normal Retirement Age of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (iv) TERMINATION AFTER LAYOFF. If the Participant's Service ceases as a result of "Layoff" (as defined below), then, subject to the Participant's execution of a general release of claims satisfactory to the Company, (A) the exercisability and vesting of the Option and, in the case of an immediately exercisable Option, any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof shall be accelerated effective as of the date on which the Participant's Service terminated by ten percent (10%) of the shares which would otherwise be unvested on such date, and (B) the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant's guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months after the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company's auditors determine that the provisions or operation of the preceding sentence would cause the Company to incur a compensation expense and provided further that in the absence of the preceding sentence no such compensation expense would be incurred, then the preceding sentence shall be without force or effect, and the vesting and exercisability of each outstanding Option and any shares acquired 13 14 upon the exercise thereof shall be determined under any other applicable provision of the Plan or the Option Agreement evidencing such Option. (v) TERMINATION UPON TRANSFER TO NON-CONTROL AFFILIATE. If at the request of the Company, Participant transfers Service to a Non-Control Affiliate and the Participant's Service ceases as a result, then, subject to the Participant's execution of a general release of claims form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant's guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (vi) TERMINATION AFTER CHANGE IN CONTROL. If the Participant's Service ceases as a result of Termination After Change in Control (as defined below), then (A) the exercisability and vesting of the Option and, in the case of an immediately exercisable Option, any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof shall be accelerated effective as of the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, and (B) the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant's guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months after the date on which the Participant's Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (vii) OTHER TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Participant's Service with the Participating Company Group terminates prior to Normal Retirement Age for any reason except Disability, death, Layoff, Transfer to a Non-Control Affiliate, or Termination after Change in Control, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Participant on the date on which the Participant's Service terminates, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date on which the Participant's Service terminates, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (b) EXTENSION IF EXERCISE PREVENTED BY LAW. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than termination for Cause, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.5(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 10 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the Participant is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (c) EXTENSION IF PARTICIPANT SUBJECT TO SECTION 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than termination for Cause, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.5(a) of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Participant to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Participant would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the Participant's termination of Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration Date. 14 15 (d) CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. (i) "CAUSE" shall mean any of the following: (1) the Participant's theft, dishonesty, or falsification of any Participating Company documents or records; (2) the Participant's improper use or disclosure of a Participating Company's confidential or proprietary information; (3) any action by the Participant which has a detrimental effect on a Participating Company's reputation or business; (4) the Participant's failure or inability to perform any reasonable assigned duties after written notice from a Participating Company of, and a reasonable opportunity to cure, such failure or inability; (5) any material breach by the Participant of any employment or service agreement between the Participant and a Participating Company, which breach is not cured pursuant to the terms of such agreement; (6) the Participant's conviction (including any plea of guilty or nolo contendere) of any criminal act which impairs the Participant's ability to perform his or her duties with a Participating Company; or (7) violation of a material Company policy. (ii) "GOOD REASON" shall mean any one or more of the following: (1) without the Participant's express written consent, the assignment to the Participant of any duties, or any limitation of the Participant's responsibilities, substantially inconsistent with the Participant's positions, duties, responsibilities and status with the Participating Company Group immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control; (2) without the Participant's express written consent, the relocation of the principal place of the Participant's employment or service to a location that is more than fifty (50) miles from the Participant's principal place of employment or service immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control, or the imposition of travel requirements substantially more demanding of the Participant than such travel requirements existing immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control; (3) any failure by the Participating Company Group to pay, or any material reduction by the Participating Company Group of, (A) the Participant's base salary in effect immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control (unless reductions comparable in amount and duration are concurrently made for all other employees of the Participating Company Group with responsibilities, organizational level and title comparable to the Participant's), or (B) the Participant's bonus compensation, if any, in effect immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control (subject to applicable performance requirements with respect to the actual amount of bonus compensation earned by the Participant); (4) any failure by the Participating Company Group to (A) continue to provide the Participant with the opportunity to participate, on terms no less favorable than those in effect for the benefit of any employee or service provider group which customarily includes a person holding the employment or service provider position or a comparable position with the Participating Company Group then held by the Participant, in any benefit or compensation plans and programs, including, but not limited to, the Participating Company Group's life, disability, health, dental, medical, savings, profit sharing, stock purchase 15 16 and retirement plans, if any, in which the Participant was participating immediately prior to the date of the Change in Control, or their equivalent, or (B) provide the Participant with all other fringe benefits (or their equivalent) from time to time in effect for the benefit of any employee group which customarily includes a person holding the employment or service provider position or a comparable position with the Participating Company Group then held by the Participant; (5) any breach by the Participating Company Group of any material agreement between the Participant and a Participating Company concerning Participant's employment; or (6) any failure by the Company to obtain the assumption of any material agreement between Participant and the Company concerning Participant's employment by a successor or assign of the Company. (iii) "LAYOFF" shall mean the involuntary termination of the Participant's Service for reasons other than Cause, constructive termination, death, or Disability. (iv) "TERMINATION AFTER CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean either of the following events occurring within twenty-four (24) months after a Change in Control: (1) termination by the Participating Company Group of the Participant's Service with the Participating Company Group for any reason other than for Cause; or (2) the Participant's resignation for Good Reason from all capacities in which the Participant is then rendering Service to the Participating Company Group within a reasonable period of time following the event constituting Good Reason. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Termination After Change in Control shall not include any termination of the Participant's Service with the Participating Company Group which (1) is for Cause; (2) is a result of the Participant's death or Disability; (3) is a result of the Participant's voluntary termination of Service other than for Good Reason; or (4) occurs prior to the effectiveness of a Change in Control. 7. STANDARD FORMS OF AGREEMENTS. 7.1 OPTION AGREEMENT. Unless otherwise provided by the Board at the time the Option is granted, an Option shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the form of Option Agreement approved by the Board concurrently with its adoption of the Plan and as amended from time to time. 7.2 AUTHORITY TO VARY TERMS. The Board shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of any standard form of agreement described in this Section either in connection with the grant or amendment of an individual Option or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of agreement are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. 16 17 8. CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING CORPORATION"), may, without the consent of any Participant, either assume the Company's rights and obligations under outstanding Options or substitute for outstanding Options substantially equivalent options for the Acquiring Corporation's stock. In the event the Acquiring Corporation elects not to assume or substitute for outstanding Options in connection with a Change in Control, the exercisability and vesting of each such outstanding Option and any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof held by Participants whose Service has not terminated prior to such date shall be accelerated, effective as of the date ten (10) days prior to the date of the Change in Control. The exercise or vesting of any Option and any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof that was permissible solely by reason of this Section and the provisions of such Option Agreement shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control. Any Options which are neither assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares acquired upon exercise of an Option prior to the Change in Control and any consideration received pursuant to the Change in Control with respect to such shares shall continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of the Option Agreement evidencing such Option except as otherwise provided in such Option Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the corporation the stock of which is subject to the outstanding Options immediately prior to an Ownership Change Event described in Section 2.1(u)(i) constituting a Change in Control is the surviving or continuing corporation and immediately after such Ownership Change Event less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of its voting stock is held by another corporation or by other corporations that are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, the outstanding Options shall not terminate unless the Board otherwise provides in its discretion. 9. TAX WITHHOLDING. 9.1 TAX WITHHOLDING IN GENERAL. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the Participant, through cash payment or otherwise, including by means of a Cashless Exercise of an Option, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with respect to an Option or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock or to release shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to an Option Agreement until the Participating Company Group's tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Participant. 9.2 WITHHOLDING IN SHARES. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable to a Participant upon the exercise of an Option, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group. The Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. 17 18 10. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW. The grant of Options and the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of Options shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities. Options may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Option may be exercised unless (A) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (B) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of any Option, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. 11. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board may terminate or amend the Plan at any time.

In the absence of such markets for the Stock, the Fair Market Value shall be determined in good faith by the Board.

All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the Plan shall be paid by the Company. 3.2 AUTHORITY OF OFFICERS. Any officer of the Company shall have the authority to act on behalf of the Company with respect to any matter, right, obligation, determination or election that is the responsibility of or that is allocated to the Company herein, provided that the officer has actual authority with respect to such matter, right, obligation, determination or election. Any decision or determination of the Company made by an Officer having actual authority with respect thereto, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Participating Company Group, any Participant, and all persons having an interest in the Plan, or any Option granted hereunder, unless such Officer's decision or determination is arbitrary or capricious, fraudulent, or made in bad faith. 3.3 POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ESTABLISHED BY THE COMPANY.

SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN. 4.1 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SHARES ISSUABLE. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be Twelve Million, Nine Hundred and Eight Thousand, Three Hundred and Nine (12,908,309), less the number of shares issued pursuant to exercise of a Prior Plan Purchase Right, and shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Stock, or any combination thereof. If an outstanding Purchase Right or Prior Plan Purchase Right for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled, the shares of Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of that Purchase Right or Prior Plan Purchase Right shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. 4.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the event of any merger (including a merger effected for the purpose of changing the Company's domicile), sale of assets or other reorganization in which the Company is a party, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares subject to the Plan, each Purchase Right, and in the Purchase Price. If a majority of the shares of the same class as the shares subject to outstanding Purchase Rights are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an 5 6 Ownership Change Event) shares of another corporation (the "NEW SHARES"), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Purchase Rights to provide that such Purchase Rights are exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the Purchase Price of, the outstanding Purchase Rights shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner, as determined by the Board, in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in no event may the Purchase Price be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Purchase Right. 5. ELIGIBILITY. 5.1 EMPLOYEES ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE. Each Employee of a Participating Company is eligible to participate in the Plan and shall be deemed an Eligible Employee, except any Employee who is either: (a) customarily employed by the Participating Company Group for twenty (20) hours or less per week (b) customarily employed by the Participating Company Group for not more than five (5) months in any calendar year or (c) has not completed thirty (30) days of service with a Participating Company, or such other service requirement, up to a maximum of 2 years, which the Board may require. 5.2 EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Employee shall be treated as an Eligible Employee and granted a Purchase Right under the Plan if, immediately after such grant, the Employee would own or hold options to purchase stock of the Company or of any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary Corporation possessing five percent (5%) or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of such corporation, as determined in accordance with Section 423(b)(3) of the Code. For purposes of this Section 5.2, the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining the stock ownership of such Employee. 5.3 DETERMINATION BY COMPANY. The Company shall determine in good faith and in the exercise of its discretion whether an individual has become or has ceased to be an Employee or an Eligible Employee and the effective date of such individual's attainment or termination of such status, as the case may be. For purposes of an individual's eligibility to participate in or other rights, if any, under the Plan as of the time of the Company's determination, all such determinations by the Company shall be final, binding and conclusive, unless the Company's determination is arbitrary or capricious, fraudulent, or made in bad faith notwithstanding that the Company or any court of law or governmental agency subsequently makes a contrary determination. 6. OFFERINGS. The Plan shall be implemented by sequential Offerings of approximately six (6) months duration or such other duration as the Board shall determine (an "OFFERING PERIOD"); provided, however, that the first Offering Period (the "INITIAL OFFERING PERIOD") shall commence on July 1, 2001 and end on March 31, 2002. Subsequent Offering Periods shall commence on or about April 1 and October 1 of each year and end on or about the next September 30 and March 31, respectively, occurring thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, may establish a different duration for one or more Offering Periods 6 7 or different commencing or ending dates for such Offering Periods including the Initial Offering Period; provided, however, that no Offering Period may have a duration exceeding twenty-seven (27) months. 7. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN. 7.1 INITIAL PARTICIPATION. An Eligible Employee may become a Participant in an Offering Period by delivering a properly completed Subscription Agreement, in accordance with such rules and procedures as may be specified by the Company. An Eligible Employee who does not deliver a properly completed Subscription Agreement to the Company in the required time period shall not participate in the Plan for that Offering Period. Furthermore, the Eligible Employee may not participate in a subsequent Offering Period unless a properly completed Subscription Agreement is delivered to the Company on or before the Subscription Date for such subsequent Offering Period. 7.2 CONTINUED PARTICIPATION. A Participant shall automatically participate in the next Offering Period commencing immediately after the Purchase Date of each Offering Period in which the Participant participates provided that the Participant remains an Eligible Employee on the Offering Date of the new Offering Period and has not either (a) withdrawn from the Plan pursuant to Section 12.1 or (b) terminated employment as provided in Section 13. A Participant who may automatically participate in a subsequent Offering Period, as provided in this Section, is not required to deliver any additional Subscription Agreement for the subsequent Offering Period in order to continue participation in the Plan. However, a Participant may deliver a new Subscription Agreement for a subsequent Offering Period in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.1 if the Participant desires to change any of the elections contained in the Participant's then effective Subscription Agreement. 8. RIGHT TO PURCHASE SHARES. 8.1 GRANT OF PURCHASE RIGHT. (i) Except as set forth below (or as otherwise specified by the Board prior to the Offering Date), on the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each Participant in that Offering Period shall be granted automatically a Purchase Right consisting of an option to purchase that number of whole shares of Stock determined by either dividing fifteen percent (15%) of such Participant's Compensation during the Offering Period by the Purchase Price of a share of Stock for such Offering Period or by dividing Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($12,500) by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on such Offering Date, whichever is less. In connection with any Offering made under this Plan, the Board or the Committee may specify a maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased by any employee as well as a maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be purchased by all eligible employees pursuant to such Offering. In addition, in connection with any Offering which contains more than one Purchase Date, the Board or the Committee may specify a maximum aggregate number of shares which may be purchased by all eligible employees on any given Purchase Date under the Offering. 7 8 (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aggregate number of shares for which Purchase Rights may be granted in any Offering Period may not exceed the maximum number of shares which have been, prior to the Offering Date for such Offering Period, reserved for the Plan and approved by the stockholders of the Company and not previously been purchased upon the exercise of Purchase Rights in any prior Offering Period. (iii) If the aggregate purchase of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of rights granted under the Offering would exceed any such maximum aggregate number, the Board or the Committee shall make a pro rata allocation of the shares of Common Stock available in as nearly a uniform manner as shall be practicable and as it shall deem to be equitable. No Purchase Right shall be granted on an Offering Date to any person who is not, on such Offering Date, an Eligible Employee. 8.2 SUBSTITUTION OF RIGHTS. The grant of rights under an Offering may be done to carry out the substitution of rights under the Plan for pre-existing rights granted under another employee stock purchase plan, if such substitution is pursuant to a transaction described in Section 424(a) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) and the characteristics of such substitute rights conform to the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto) and will not cause the disqualification of this Plan under Section 423 of the Code. Notwithstanding the other terms of the Plan, such substitute rights shall have the same characteristics as the characteristics associated with such pre-existing rights, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the date on which such pre-existing right was granted shall be the "Offering Date" of such substitute right for purposes of determining the date of grant of the substitute right; (ii) the Offering (as defined below) for such substitute right shall begin on its Offering Date and end coincident on the applicable Purchase Date, but no later than the end of the offering (as determined under the terms of such offering) under which the pre-existing right was granted. 8.3 PRO RATA ADJUSTMENT OF PURCHASE RIGHT. If the Board establishes an Offering Period of any duration other than six months, then any limitation on the number of shares of Stock subject to each Purchase Right granted on the Offering Date of such Offering Period set forth in Section 8.1(i) shall be prorated based upon the ratio which the number of months in such Offering Period bears to six (6). 8.4 CALENDAR YEAR PURCHASE LIMITATION. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no Participant shall be granted a Purchase Right which permits his or her right to purchase shares of Stock under the Plan to accrue at a rate which, when aggregated with such Participant's rights to purchase shares under all other employee stock purchase plans of a Participating Company intended to meet the requirements of Section 423 of the Code, exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) in Fair Market Value (or such other limit, if any, as may be imposed by the Code) for each calendar year in which such Purchase Right is outstanding at any time. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Fair Market Value of shares purchased during a given Offering Period shall be determined as of the Offering Date for such 8 9 Offering Period. The limitation described in this Section shall be applied in conformance with applicable regulations under Section 423(b)(8) of the Code. 9. PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price for an Offering Period shall be eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of (a) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Offering Date of the Offering Period, or (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Purchase Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board, in its sole discretion, may establish the Purchase Price at which each share of Stock may be acquired in an Offering Period upon the exercise of all or any portion of a Purchase Right; provided, however, that the Purchase Price shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the lesser of (a) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Offering Date of the Offering Period or (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Purchase Date. 10. ACCUMULATION OF PURCHASE PRICE THROUGH PAYROLL DEDUCTION. Shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of all or any portion of a Purchase Right may be paid for only by means of payroll deductions from the Participant's Compensation accumulated during the Offering Period for which such Purchase Right was granted, and, if a payroll deduction is not permitted under a statute, regulation, rule of a jurisdiction, or is not administratively feasible, such other payments as may be approved by the Company, subject to the following: 10.1 AMOUNT OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Except as otherwise provided herein, the amount to be deducted under the Plan from a Participant's Compensation on each payday during an Offering Period shall be determined by the Participant's Subscription Agreement. The Subscription Agreement shall set forth the percentage of the Participant's Compensation to be deducted on each payday during an Offering Period in whole percentages, up to fifteen percent (15%). The Board may change the foregoing limits on payroll deductions effective as of any Offering Date. 10.2 COMMENCEMENT OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Payroll deductions shall commence on the first payday following the Offering Date and shall continue through the last payday prior to the end of the Offering Period unless sooner altered or terminated as provided herein. 10.3 ELECTION TO CHANGE OR STOP PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. During an Offering Period, to the extent provided for in the Offering, a Participant may elect to decrease the rate of or to stop deductions from his or her Compensation by delivering to the Company an amended Subscription Agreement, in such form and manner as specified by the Company, authorizing such change on or before the Change Notice Date, as defined below. A Participant who elects, effective following the first payday of an Offering Period, to decrease the rate of his or her payroll deductions to zero percent (0%) shall nevertheless remain a Participant in the current Offering Period unless such Participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 12.1. The "CHANGE NOTICE DATE" shall be the day established in accordance with procedures established by the Company. 9 10 10.4 COMPANY'S HOLDING OF DEDUCTION. All payroll deductions from a Participant's Compensation shall be deposited with the general funds of the Company. All payroll deductions received or held by the Company may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose. Interest shall not be paid on sums deducted from a Participant's Compensation pursuant to the Plan. 10.5 VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL OF DEDUCTIONS. A Participant may withdraw payroll deductions credited to the Plan and not previously applied toward the purchase of Stock only as provided in Section 12.1. 11. PURCHASE OF SHARES. 11.1 EXERCISE OF PURCHASE RIGHT. On each Purchase Date, each Participant's accumulated payroll deductions and other additional payments specifically permitted by the Plan (without any increase for interest), will be applied to the purchase of whole shares of Stock, up to the maximum number of shares permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Offering, at the Purchase Price for such Offering. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of Purchase Rights granted under the Plan. The amount, if any, of each Participant's accumulated payroll deductions remaining after the purchase of shares which is less than the amount required to purchase one share of Stock on the final Purchase Date of an Offering shall be retained in each such Participant's account for the purchase of shares under the next Offering under the Plan, unless such Participant withdraws from such next Offering, as provided in Section 12.1, or is no longer eligible to be granted rights under the Plan, as provided in Section 5, in which case such amount shall be distributed to the Participant after said final Purchase Date, without interest. The amount, if any, of each Participant's accumulated payroll deductions remaining after the purchase of shares which is equal to the amount required to purchase whole shares of Stock on the final Purchase Date of an Offering shall be refunded in full to the Participant after such Purchase Date, without interest. 11.2 PRO RATA ALLOCATION OF SHARES. If the number of shares of Stock which might be purchased by all Participants in the Plan on a Purchase Date exceeds the number of shares of Stock available in the Plan as provided in Section 4.1, the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the remaining shares in as uniform a manner as practicable and as the Company determines to be equitable. Any fractional share resulting from such pro rata allocation to any Participant shall be disregarded. 11.3 DELIVERY OF SHARES. As soon as practicable after each Purchase Date, the Company shall arrange the delivery to each Participant of the shares acquired by the Participant on such Purchase Date; provided that the Company may deliver such shares to a broker designated by the Company that will hold such shares for the benefit of the Participant. Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan shall be registered, or held in an account, in the name of the Participant, or, if requested by the Participant, such other name or names as the Company may permit under rules established for the operation and administration of the Plan. 11.4 TAX WITHHOLDING. At the time a Participant's Purchase Right is exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time a Participant disposes of some or all of the shares of Stock he or she acquires under the Plan, the Participant shall make adequate provision for the 10 11 federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations, if any, of the Participating Company Group which arise upon exercise of the Purchase Right or upon such disposition of shares, respectively. The Participating Company Group may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant's compensation the amount necessary to meet such withholding obligations. 11.5 EXPIRATION OF PURCHASE RIGHT. A Purchase Right shall expire immediately upon the end of the Offering Period to the extent it exceeds the number of shares of Stock which are purchased with a Participant's accumulated payroll deductions or other permitted contribution during any Offering Period. 11.6 PROVISION OF REPORTS AND STOCKHOLDER INFORMATION TO PARTICIPANTS. Each Participant who has exercised all or part of his or her Purchase Right shall receive, as soon as practicable after the Purchase Date, a report of such Participant's account setting forth the total payroll deductions accumulated prior to such exercise, the number of shares of Stock purchased, the Purchase Price for such shares, the date of purchase and the cash balance, if any, remaining immediately after such purchase that is to be refunded or retained on behalf of the Participant pursuant to Section 11.1. The report required by this Section may be delivered in such form and by such means, including by electronic transmission, as the Company may determine. In addition, each Participant shall be given access to information concerning the Company equivalent to that information provided generally to the Company's common stockholders. 12. WITHDRAWAL FROM PLAN. 12.1 VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL FROM THE PLAN. A Participant may withdraw from the Plan by signing and delivering to the Company's designated office a written notice of withdrawal on a form provided by the Company for this purpose or by communicating with the Company in such other manner as the Company may authorize. A Participant who voluntarily withdraws from the Plan is prohibited from resuming participation in the Plan in the same Offering from which he or she withdrew, but may participate in any subsequent Offering by again satisfying the requirements of Sections 5 and 7.1. The Company may impose, from time to time, a requirement that the notice of withdrawal from the Plan be on file with the Company's designated office for a reasonable period prior to the effectiveness of the Participant's withdrawal. 12.2 RETURN OF PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS. Upon a Participant's voluntary withdrawal from the Plan pursuant to Section 12.1, the Participant's accumulated payroll deductions which have not been applied toward the purchase of shares shall be refunded to the Participant as soon as practicable after the withdrawal, without the payment of any interest, and the Participant's participation in the Plan shall terminate. Such accumulated payroll deductions to be refunded in accordance with this Section may not be applied to any other Offering under the Plan. 13. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR ELIGIBILITY. 13.1 Upon a Participant's ceasing, prior to a Purchase Date, to be an Employee of the Participating Company Group for any reason, or upon the failure of a Participant to remain 11 12 an Eligible Employee, the Participant's participation in the Plan shall terminate immediately, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.1(g) and Section 13.3. 13.2 Upon termination of participation, the terminated Participant's accumulated payroll deductions which have not been applied toward the purchase of shares shall, as soon as practicable, be returned to the Participant or, in the case of the Participant's death, to the Participant's legal representative, and all of the Participant's rights under the Plan shall terminate. Interest shall not be paid on sums returned pursuant to this Section 13. A Participant whose participation has been so terminated may again become eligible to participate in future Offerings under the Plan by satisfying the requirements of Sections 5 and 7.1. 13.3 Upon a Participant's ceasing, prior to a Purchase Date, to be an Employee of the Participating Company Group for any reason, or upon the failure of a Participant to remain an Eligible Employee, the Participant's participation in the Plan shall continue, subject to the Participant's execution of a general release of claims satisfactory to the Company, for an additional ninety (90) days; provided, however, this Section shall not apply in the event of the Participant's death, a Spinoff Transaction, or to any Participant on a leave of absence governed by Section 2.1(g). 14. CHANGE IN CONTROL. 14.1 DEFINITIONS. (a) An "OWNERSHIP CHANGE EVENT" shall be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange in a single or series of related transactions by the stockholders of the Company of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, of the assets of the Company; or (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. (b) A "CHANGE IN CONTROL" shall mean an Ownership Change Event or a series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, a "TRANSACTION") wherein the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do not retain immediately after the Transaction, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of shares of the Company's voting stock immediately before the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or, in the case of a Transaction described in Section 14.1(a)(iii), the corporation or other business entity to which the assets of the Company were transferred (the "TRANSFEREE"), as the case may be. The Board shall determine in its sole discretion whether multiple sales or exchanges of the voting securities of the Company or multiple Ownership Change Events are related. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, a Change in Control shall not include any Transaction in which the voting stock of an entity in the Participating Company Group is distributed to the shareholders of a parent corporation, as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code, of such entity. Any Ownership Change resulting from an underwritten public offering of the Company's Stock or the stock of any Participating Company shall not be deemed a Change in Control for any purpose hereunder. 12 13 14.2 EFFECT OF CHANGE IN CONTROL ON PURCHASE RIGHTS. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING CORPORATION"), may assume the Company's rights and obligations under the Plan. If the Acquiring Corporation elects not to assume the Company's rights and obligations under outstanding Purchase Rights, the Purchase Date of the then current Offering Period shall be accelerated to a date before the date of the Change in Control specified by the Board, but the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Purchase Rights shall not be adjusted. All Purchase Rights which are neither assumed by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change in Control. 15. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF PURCHASE RIGHTS. Neither payroll deductions nor a Participant's Purchase Right may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any manner other than as provided by the Plan or by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw from the Plan as provided in Section 12.1. A Purchase Right shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant. 16. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW. The issuance of shares under the Plan shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities. A Purchase Right may not be exercised if the issuance of shares upon such exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any securities exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Purchase Right may be exercised unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall at the time of exercise of the Purchase Right be in effect with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Right, or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Purchase Right may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of said Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares under the Plan shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of a Purchase Right, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation, and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. 17. RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER AND EMPLOYEE. A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder by virtue of the Participant's participation in the Plan until the date of the issuance of shares purchased pursuant to the 13 14 exercise of the Participant's Purchase Right (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such share is issued, except as provided in Section 4.2. Nothing herein shall confer upon a Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Participating Company Group or interfere in any way with any right of the Participating Company Group to terminate the Participant's employment at any time. 18. DISTRIBUTION ON DEATH. If a Participant dies, the Company shall deliver any shares or cash credited to the Participant to the Participant's legal representative. 19. NOTICES. All notices or other communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 20. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. The Board may at any time amend or terminate the Plan, except that (a) such termination shall not affect Purchase Rights previously granted under the Plan, except as permitted under the Plan, and (b) no amendment may adversely affect a Purchase Right previously granted under the Plan (except to the extent permitted by the Plan or as may be necessary to qualify the Plan as an employee stock purchase plan pursuant to Section 423 of the Code or to obtain qualification or registration of the shares of Stock under applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws). In addition, an amendment to the Plan must be approved by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of the adoption of such amendment if such amendment would increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Section 4.1 or Section 4.2) or would change the definition of the corporations that may be designated by the Board as Participating Companies. 14 15 PLAN HISTORY ____________, 2000 Board adopts Plan, with an initial reserve of 12,908,309 shares. ____________, 2001 Stockholders approve Plan.

Any dispute or claim concerning any Options granted (or not granted) pursuant to this Plan and any other disputes or claims relating to or arising out of the Plan shall be fully, finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration conducted pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in San Diego, California.

Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be Six Million Three Hundred Thousand (6,300,000). The share reserve shall consist of authorized but unissued or reacquired shares of Stock or any combination thereof. However, the share reserve, determined at any time, shall be reduced by the number of shares subject to the Prior Plan Options. If an outstanding Option, including a Prior Plan Option, for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled or if shares of Stock are acquired upon the exercise of an Option subject to a Company repurchase option and are repurchased by the Company at the Participant's exercise or purchase price, the shares of Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or Prior Plan Option or such repurchased shares of Stock shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. 4.2 ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number and class of shares subject to the Plan and in the exercise price per share of any outstanding Options. If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares that are subject to outstanding Options are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event, as defined in Section 2.1(u)) shares of another corporation (the "NEW SHARES"), the Board may unilaterally amend the outstanding Options to provide that such Options are exercisable for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and the exercise price per share of, the outstanding Options shall be adjusted in a fair and equitable manner as determined by the Board, in its discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fractional share resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number, and in no event may the exercise price of any Option be decreased to an amount less than the par value, if any, of the stock subject to the Option. 5. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION. Only those persons who, at the time of grant, are serving as Non-Employee Directors shall be eligible to become Participants and to be granted an Option. 7 8 6.

Subject to the execution by a Non-Employee Director of an appropriate Option Agreement, Options shall be granted automatically and without further action of the Board, as follows: (a) INITIAL OPTION. Each Non-Employee Director shall be granted an Option to purchase twenty thousand (20,000) shares of Stock (an "INITIAL OPTION") on the date such person first becomes a Non-Employee Director after the Effective Date; provided, however, that an Initial Option shall not be granted to a Director who is an Employee and who subsequently becomes a Non-Employee Director as a result of the termination of his or her status as an Employee. (b) ANNUAL OPTION. Each Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who previously did not qualify as a Non-Employee Director because of his or her status as an Employee) shall be granted on the date of each annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company (an "ANNUAL MEETING") immediately following which such person remains a Non-Employee Director, an Option to purchase ten thousand (10,000) shares of Stock (an "ANNUAL OPTION"); provided, however, that a Non-Employee Director granted an Initial Option on, or within a period of 270 days prior to, the date of an Annual Meeting shall not be granted an Annual Option for such Annual Meeting. (c) RIGHT TO DECLINE OPTION. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person may elect not to receive an Option pursuant to this Section by delivering written notice of such election to the Board no later than the day prior to the date such Option would otherwise be granted. A person so declining an Option shall receive no payment or other consideration in lieu of such declined Option. A person who has declined an Option may revoke such election by delivering written notice of such revocation to the Board no later than the day prior to the date such Option would be granted pursuant to Section 6.1(a) or (b), as the case may be. 6.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share of Stock subject to an Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the date of grant of the Option. 6.3 EXERCISABILITY AND TERM OF OPTIONS. Each Option shall vest and become exercisable as set forth below and shall terminate and cease to be exercisable on the tenth (10) anniversary date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the Option Agreement evidencing such Option. (a) INITIAL OPTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option, each Initial Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows: (i) twenty percent (20%) of the Initial Option shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant of the Option, and (ii) 1/60th of the Initial Option shall vest and become exercisable each month, beginning on the date thirteen 13 months 8 9 after the date of grant of the Option, provided the Participant's Service has not been terminated prior to such date. (b) ANNUAL OPTIONS. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option, each Annual Option shall vest and become exercisable as follows: (i) ten percent (10%) of the Annual Option shall vest and become exercisable on the date six (6) months after the grant of the Option, and (ii) 1/60th of the Annual Option shall vest and become exercisable each month, beginning on the date seven (7) months after the date of grant of the Option, provided the Participant's Service has not terminated prior to such date. 6.4 EARLY EXERCISE. The Option may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Optionholder may elect at any time while an Employee, Director or Consultant to exercise the Option as to any part or all of the shares subject to the Option prior to the full vesting of the Option. Any unvested shares so purchased shall be subject to a repurchase right in favor of the Company, with the repurchase price to be equal to the original purchase price of the Common Stock, or to any other restriction the Board determines to be appropriate; provided, however, that (i) the right to repurchase at the original purchase price shall lapse at the same rate as the Option vests as described elsewhere in the Plan, and (ii) such right shall be exercisable only within (A) the ninety (90) day period following the termination of the Participant's Service or (B) such longer period as may be agreed to by the Company and the Participant. 6.5 PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. (a) FORMS OF CONSIDERATION AUTHORIZED. Except as otherwise provided below, payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or cash equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market Value not less than the exercise price, (iii) by delivery of a properly executed notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker providing for the assignment to the Company of the proceeds of a sale or loan with respect to some or all of the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the Option (including, without limitation, through an exercise complying with the provisions of Regulation T as promulgated from time to time by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) (a "CASHLESS EXERCISE"), (iv) by such other consideration as may be approved by the Board from time to time to the extent permitted by applicable law, or (v) by any combination thereof. The Board may at any time or from time to time, by approval of or amendment to the standard form of Option Agreement, grant Options which do not permit all of the foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration. (b) LIMITATIONS ON FORMS OF CONSIDERATION. (i) TENDER OF STOCK. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock to the extent such tender or attestation would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption of the Company's stock. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, an Option may not be exercised by tender to the Company, or 9 10 attestation to the ownership, of shares of Stock unless such shares either have been owned by the Participant for more than six (6) months (and were not used for another Option exercise by attestation during such period) or were not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the Company. (ii) CASHLESS EXERCISE. The Company reserves, at any and all times, the right, in the Company's sole and absolute discretion, to establish, decline to approve or terminate any program or procedures for the exercise of Options by means of a Cashless Exercise. 6.6 TRANSFERABILITY. An Option shall not be transferable in any manner (including without limitation, sale, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, or assignment) other than, (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) by written designation of a beneficiary, in a form acceptable to the Company, with such designation taking effect upon the death of a Participant, (iii) by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form acceptable to the Company (including such representations, warranties and indemnifications as the Company shall require a Participant to make to protect the Company's interests and ensure that this Option has been transferred under the circumstances approved by the Company), by gift to a Participant's spouse, former spouse, children, stepchildren, grandchildren, parent, stepparent, grandparent, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, persons having one of the foregoing types of relationship with a Participant due to adoption, any person sharing a Participant's household (other than a tenant or employee), a foundation in which these persons or the Participant control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests. A transfer to an entity in which more than fifty percent of the voting interests are owned by these persons (or the Participant) in exchange for an interest in that entity is specifically included as a permissible type of transfer. In addition, a transfer to a trust created solely for the benefit (i.e., a Participant and/or any or all of the foregoing persons hold more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest in the trust) of a Participant and/or any or all of the foregoing persons is also a permissible transferee, or (iv) such other transferees as may be authorized by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. During a Participant's life this Option is exercisable only by the Participant or a transferee satisfying the above conditions. Except in the event of a Participant's death, upon transfer of a Option to any or all of the foregoing persons, the Participant, as the Optionee, is liable for any and all taxes due upon exercise of those transferred Options. At no time will a transferee who is considered an affiliate under Rule 144(a)(1) be able to sell any or all such Stock without complying with Rule 144. The right of a transferee to exercise the transferred portion of this Option shall terminate in accordance with the Participant' s right of exercise under this Option and is further subject to such representations, warranties and indemnifications from the transferee that the Company requires the transferee to make to protect the Company's interests and ensure that this Option has been transferred under the circumstances approved by the Company. Once a portion of a Option is transferred, no further transfer may be made of that portion of the Option. 6.7 EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE. (a) OPTION EXERCISABILITY. Subject to earlier termination of the Option as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Board in the grant of an Option and set forth in the Option Agreement, an Option shall be exercisable after a 10 11 Participant's termination of Service only during the applicable time period determined in accordance with this Section and thereafter shall terminate. (i) DISABILITY AND NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE. If a Participant's Service terminates because of the Participant's Disability or after the Participant reaches Normal Retirement Age, then except as otherwise provided in Section 6.7(a)(ii), (A) the Participant's Service shall be deemed to continue and the exercisability and vesting of the Option and, in the case of an immediately exercisable option, the shares acquired upon exercise thereof shall continue under the terms and conditions of the Option Agreement, and (B) the Option to the extent unexercised and exercisable may be exercised by the Participant (or, the Participant's guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of the Option's term as set forth in the Option Agreement evidencing such Option (the "Option Expiration Date"). (ii) DEATH. If the Participant's Service terminates because of the death of the Participant, or if the Participant dies after attaining Normal Retirement Age, or after the Disability of the Participant then, (A) the exercisability and vesting of the Option and any shares acquired on the exercise thereof shall be accelerated effective as of the date of the Participant's death, and (B) the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable on the date of the Participant's death, may be exercised by the Participant's legal representative or other person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by reason of the Participant's death at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date of the Participant's death, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (iii) OTHER TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the Participant's Service with the Participating Company Group terminates prior to Normal Retirement Age for any reason except Disability, or death, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable by the Participant on the date on which the Participant's Service terminates, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Participant's Service terminates, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (b) EXTENSION IF EXERCISE PREVENTED BY LAW. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.7(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 10 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until three (3) months after the date the Participant is notified by the Company that the Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option Expiration Date. (c) EXTENSION IF PARTICIPANT SUBJECT TO SECTION 16(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods set forth in Section 6.7(a) of shares acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Participant to suit under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain exercisable until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on which a sale of such shares by the Participant would no longer be subject to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the Participant's termination of Service, or (iii) the Option Expiration Date. 11 12 7. STANDARD FORMS OF AGREEMENTS. 7.1 OPTION AGREEMENT. Unless otherwise provided by the Board at the time the Option is granted, an Option shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the form of Option Agreement approved by the Board concurrently with its adoption of the Plan and as amended from time to time. 7.2 AUTHORITY TO VARY TERMS. The Board shall have the authority from time to time to vary the terms of any standard form of agreement described in this Section 7 either in connection with the grant or amendment of an individual Option or in connection with the authorization of a new standard form or forms; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of any such new, revised or amended standard form or forms of agreement are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. 8. CHANGE IN CONTROL. In the event of a Change in Control, any unexercisable or unvested portions of outstanding Options and any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof held by Participants whose Service has not terminated prior to such date shall be immediately exercisable and vested in full as of the date ten (10) days prior to the date of the Change in Control. The exercise or vesting of any Option and any shares acquired upon the exercise thereof that was permissible solely by reason of this Section shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control. In addition, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or parent corporation thereof, as the case may be (the "ACQUIRING CORPORATION"), may either assume the Company's rights and obligations under outstanding Options or substitute for outstanding Options substantially equivalent options for the Acquiring Corporation's stock. Any Options which are neither assumed or substituted for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the date of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the date of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the corporation the stock of which is subject to the outstanding Options immediately prior to an Ownership Change Event described in Section 2.1(u)(i) constituting a Change in Control is the surviving or continuing corporation and immediately after such Ownership Change Event less than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of its voting stock is held by another corporation or by other corporations that are members of an affiliated group within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b) of the Code, the outstanding Options shall not terminate unless the Board otherwise provides in its discretion. 9. TAX WITHHOLDING. 9.1 TAX WITHHOLDING IN GENERAL. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the Participant, through cash payment or otherwise, including by means of a Cashless Exercise of an Option, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Participating Company Group with respect to an Option or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver shares of Stock or to release shares of Stock from an escrow established pursuant to an Option Agreement until the Participating Company Group's tax withholding obligations have been satisfied by the Participant. 12 13 9.2 WITHHOLDING IN SHARES. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable to a Participant upon the exercise of an Option, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number of whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to all or any part of the tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group. The Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. 10. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW. The grant of Options and the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise of Options shall be subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law with respect to such securities. Options may not be exercised if the issuance of shares of Stock upon exercise would constitute a violation of any applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws or other law or regulations or the requirements of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Option may be exercised unless (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act shall at the time of exercise of the Option be in effect with respect to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option may be issued in accordance with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company's legal counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any shares hereunder shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained. As a condition to the exercise of any Option, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be requested by the Company. 11. TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF PLAN. The Board may terminate or amend the Plan at any time. However, subject to changes in applicable law, regulations or rules that would permit otherwise, without the approval of the Company's stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Section 4.2), and (b) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company's stockholders under any applicable law, regulation or rule. No termination or amendment of the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Option unless expressly provided by the Board. In any event, no termination or amendment of the Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding Option without the consent of the Participant, unless such termination or amendment is necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule. 12. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. 12.1 REPURCHASE RIGHTS. Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to a right of first refusal, one or more repurchase options, or other conditions and restrictions as determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion at the time the Option is granted. The 13 14 Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company. Upon request by the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such transfer restrictions. 12.2 PROVISION OF INFORMATION. Each Participant shall be given access to information concerning the Company equivalent to that information generally made available to the Company's common stockholders. 14 15 PLAN HISTORY ____________, 2000 Board adopts Plan, with an initial reserve of 6,300,000 shares. ____________, 2001 Stockholders approve Plan.
