APPLE INC.

2003 EMPLOYEE STOCK PLAN

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION.

On November 10, 2009, the Board adopted amendments to this 2003 Employee Stock
Plan, which shall govern all grants of Awards made after this amendment and
restatement, and which shall become effective upon its approval by the Company’s
stockholders (the “Effective Date”). For the terms and conditions of the Plan

share in such long-term success by acquiring a proprietary interest in the
Company.

The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for discretionary long-term
incentive Awards in the form of Options (which may be Incentive Stock Options or
Nonstatutory Stock Options), Stock Appreciation Rights, Stock Grants, Restricted
Stock Units and Cash Bonus Awards.

The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the

shall not be for value (other than nominal consideration, settlement of marital
property rights, or for interests in an entity in which more than 50% of the
voting interests are held by the Participant or by the Participant’s family
members).

(iii) The exercise and transfer restrictions in Section 4(c) shall not apply to:

 

  (A) transfers to the Company (for example, in connection with the expiration
or termination of the Award),

 

  (B) the designation of a beneficiary to receive benefits in the event of the

beneficiary, transfers by will or the laws of descent and distribution,

 

  (C) subject to any applicable limitations on ISOs, transfers to a family
member (or former family member) pursuant to a domestic relations order if

facilitate) the exercise of Awards consistent with applicable laws and the
express authorization of the Committee.

(d) Beneficiaries. If permitted by the Committee in the Award Agreement, a
Participant under the Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any
vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death.
Each such designation shall revoke all prior beneficiary designations by the
Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable

the Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to an award, as applicable, may be
paid by means of any lawful consideration as determined by the Committee.

SECTION 5. SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN AND SHARE LIMITS.

(a) Basic Limitation. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be authorized but
unissued Shares. The aggregate number of Shares reserved for Awards under the
Plan is 209,000,000, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 11.

(b) Share Count. Shares issued pursuant to Awards other than Options or SARs
will count against the Shares available for issuance under the Plan as two
(2) Shares for every one (1) Share issued in connection with the Award. Shares
issued pursuant to the exercise of Options or SARs will count against the Shares
available for issuance under the Plan as one (1) Share for every one Share to
which such exercise relates. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the total
number of Shares subject to SARs that are settled in Shares shall be counted in
full against the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan,
regardless of the number of Shares actually issued upon settlement of the SARs.
If Awards are settled in cash, the Shares that would have been delivered had
there been no cash settlement shall not be counted against the Shares available
for issuance under the Plan. Except as provided in the next sentence, if Awards
are forfeited or are terminated for any reason before vesting or being
exercised, then the Shares underlying such Awards shall again become available
for Awards under the Plan; provided that any one (1) Share issued pursuant to a
Stock Grant or subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award that is forfeited or
terminated shall be credited as two (2) Shares when determining the number of
Shares that shall again become available for Awards under the Plan if upon
grant, the Shares underlying such forfeited or terminated Awards were counted as
two (2) Shares against the Plan reserve. Shares that are exchanged by a
Participant or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection
with any Award under the Plan, as well as any Shares exchanged by a Participant
or withheld by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to satisfy the tax
withholding obligations related to any Award, shall not be available for
subsequent Awards under the Plan. Refer to Section 15(i) for application of the
foregoing share limits with respect to substituted awards.

during any Fiscal Year covering, in the aggregate, in excess of 15,000,000

receive Stock Grants or Restricted Stock Units during any Fiscal Year covering,
in the aggregate, in excess of 5,000,000 Shares, subject to adjustment pursuant
to Section 11.

(d) Reservation of Shares; No Fractional Shares. The Company shall at all times
reserve a number of shares of Common Stock sufficient to cover the Company’s
obligations and contingent obligations to deliver Shares with respect to Awards
then outstanding under the Plan (exclusive of any dividend equivalent
obligations to the extent the Company has the right to settle such rights in
cash). No fractional Shares shall be delivered under the Plan. The Committee may
pay cash in lieu of any fractional Shares in settlements of Awards under the
Plan.

an Option shall in no event exceed seven (7) years from the Grant Date. A Stock
Option Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the
Participant’s death, Disability or retirement and may provide for tolling of

methods) of the number of Shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price, plus any

any form(s) described in this Section 6(f).

SECTION 7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

(a) SAR Agreement. Each SAR granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR
Agreement between the Participant and the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to
all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are
not inconsistent with the Plan. A SAR Agreement may provide for a maximum limit
on the amount of any payout notwithstanding the Fair Market Value on the date of
exercise of the SAR. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into
under the Plan need not be identical.

(b) Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to
which the SAR pertains, which number is subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 11.

(c) Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price, which
is subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11. A SAR Agreement may

while the SAR is outstanding, provided that in all cases the Exercise Price of a
SAR shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date.

(d) Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all
or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable and/or any performance
conditions or Performance Goals pursuant to Section 10 that must be satisfied
before the SAR is exercised. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the maximum
term of the SAR which shall not exceed seven (7) years from the Grant Date. A
SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the
Participant’s death, Disability or retirement and may provide for tolling of
vesting in the event of a Participant’s leave of absence. SARs may be awarded in
combination with Options or Stock Grants, and such an Award shall provide that
the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options or Stock Grants are
forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be
included in an NSO at the time of grant or at any subsequent time, but not later
than six months before the expiration of such NSO. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan or the SAR Agreement, no SAR can be exercised after the
expiration date provided in the applicable SAR Agreement.

having the right to exercise the SAR after Participant’s death) shall receive
from the Company (i) Shares, (ii) cash or (iii) any combination of Shares and
cash, as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant of the SAR, in its
sole discretion. The amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares
received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount
by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of exercise) of the Shares subject
to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price of the Shares.

SECTION 8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR STOCK GRANTS.

(a) Time, Amount and Form of Awards. Awards under this Section 8 may be granted
in the form of a Stock Grant. A Stock Grant may be awarded in combination with
NSOs, and such an Award may provide that the Stock Grant will be forfeited in
the event that the related NSOs are exercised.

(b) Stock Grant Agreement. Each Stock Grant awarded under the Plan shall be
evidenced and governed exclusively by a Stock Grant Agreement between the
Participant and the Company. Each Stock Grant shall be subject to all applicable
terms and conditions of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms and
conditions that are not inconsistent with the Plan that the Committee deems
appropriate for inclusion in the applicable Stock Grant Agreement. The
provisions of the Stock Grant Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be
identical.

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Number of Shares. Each Stock Grant Agreement shall specify the number of
Shares to which the Stock Grant pertains, which number is subject to adjustment
in accordance with Section 11.

(d) Vesting Conditions. The Committee shall determine the vesting schedule of
each Stock Grant. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon
satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Grant Agreement which may
include performance conditions or Performance Goals pursuant to Section 10.
Except for any accelerated vesting required or permitted pursuant to Section 12
and except as otherwise provided in the following provisions of this
Section 8(d), and subject to such additional vesting requirements or conditions
as the Committee may establish with respect to the Award, each Stock Grant under
this Plan shall be subject to the following minimum vesting requirements: (a) if
the Stock Grant includes a performance-based vesting condition, the Stock Grant
shall not vest earlier than the first anniversary of the Grant Date and vesting
shall occur only if the Participant is an Employee or Consultant of the Company
or one of its Subsidiaries on such vesting date; and (b) if the Stock Grant does
not include a performance-based vesting condition, the Stock Grant shall not
vest more rapidly than in monthly installments over the three-year period
immediately following the Grant Date and vesting of any vesting installment of
the Stock Grant shall occur only if the Participant is an Employee or Consultant
of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries on the date such installment is
scheduled to vest; provided that the Committee may accelerate or provide in the
applicable Award Agreement for the accelerated vesting of any Stock Grant in
connection with a change in control of the Participant’s employer (or a parent
thereof) or the termination of the Participant’s employment due to the
Participant’s death, disability or retirement. The Committee may, however,
accelerate or provide in the applicable Award Agreement for the accelerated
vesting of any Stock Grant, and/or any Restricted Stock Unit Award as provided
in Section 9(c), in circumstances not contemplated by the preceding sentence,
and/or provide for a vesting schedule for such Stock Grant or Restricted Stock
Unit Award that is shorter than the minimum schedule contemplated by the
preceding sentence, in such circumstances as the Committee may deem appropriate;
provided, however, that the total number of Shares subject to the portion of any
such Stock Grant and any such Restricted Stock Unit Award that vests earlier
than the minimum vesting dates that would be applicable pursuant to the minimum
vesting requirements of the preceding sentence (or, as to any accelerated
vesting, provides for accelerated vesting other than in the circumstances
contemplated by the preceding sentence) shall not exceed five percent (5%) of
the Plan’s aggregate Share limit set forth in Section 5(a).

(e) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holder of a Stock Grant awarded under the
Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s
other stockholders, except as otherwise stated in the Stock Grant Agreement. A
Stock Grant Agreement may require that the holder of such Stock Grant invest any
cash dividends received in additional Shares subject to the Stock Grant. Such
additional Shares and any Shares received as a dividend pursuant to the Stock
Grant shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Stock
Grant with respect to which the dividends were paid.

SECTION 9. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS.

(a) Restricted Stock Unit Agreement. Each Restricted Stock Unit granted under
the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement between the
Participant and the Company. Such Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all
applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not
inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Unit
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.

(b) Number of Shares. Each Restricted Stock Unit Agreement shall specify the
number of Restricted Stock Units to which the Restricted Stock Unit Award
pertains, which number is subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 11.

(c) Vesting Conditions. The Committee shall determine the vesting schedule of
each Restricted Stock Unit Award. Vesting shall occur, in full or in
installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted
Stock Unit Agreement which may include performance conditions or Performance
Goals pursuant to

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 10. Each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be subject to the same
minimum vesting provisions applicable to Stock Grants as set forth in
Section 8(d), including (without limitation) the Committee’s discretion under
the last sentence of Section 8(d) to grant Awards that do not comply with such
minimum vesting provisions, subject to the Share limit set forth in such
sentence.

(d) Form and Time of Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Settlement of vested
Restricted Stock Units may be made in the form of (i) cash, (ii) Shares or
(iii) any combination of both, as determined by the Committee at the time of the
grant of the Restricted Stock Units, in its sole discretion. Vested Restricted
Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution
may occur or commence when the vesting conditions applicable to the Restricted
Stock Units have been satisfied or have lapsed, or, if the Committee so provides
in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, it may be deferred, in accordance with
Applicable Laws, to any later date. The amount of a deferred distribution may be
increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents, as determined by the
Committee and provided in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

(e) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Stock Units shall have
no voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Restricted Stock Unit
awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion, carry with it a right
to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an
amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Restricted Stock
Unit is outstanding. Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional
Restricted Stock Units and may be made subject to the same conditions and
restrictions as the Restricted Stock Units to which they attach. Settlement of
dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares, or
in a combination of both.

(f) Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Restricted Stock Units shall have no rights
other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Restricted Stock Units
represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the
terms and conditions of the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Agreement.

SECTION 10. PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS; CASH BONUS AWARDS.

(a) General. The Committee may, in its discretion, include performance
conditions in an Award. If performance conditions are included in Awards to
Covered Employees and such Awards are intended to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” under Code Section 162(m), then such Awards will be subject to the
achievement of Performance Goals with respect to a Performance Period
established by the Committee. Such Awards shall be granted and administered
pursuant to the requirements of Code Section 162(m). Performance Goals shall be
adjusted to mitigate the unbudgeted impact of material, unusual or nonrecurring
gains and losses, accounting changes or other extraordinary events not foreseen
at the time the targets were set unless the Committee provides otherwise at the
time of establishing the targets. Before any Shares underlying an Award or any
Award payments are released to a Covered Employee with respect to a Performance
Period, the Committee shall certify in writing that the Performance Goals for
such Performance Period have been satisfied. Awards with performance conditions
that are granted to Participants who are not Covered Employees need not comply
with the requirements of Code Section 162(m).

(b) Cash Bonus Awards. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant Cash Bonus
Awards under the Plan to one or more Employees of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. Cash Bonus Awards may be subject to performance conditions as
described in Section 10(a) above and, to the extent such Cash Bonus Awards are
granted to Covered Persons and intended to qualify as “performance-based
compensation” under Section 162(m), shall be subject to the requirements of
Section 162(m), including without limitation, the establishment of Performance
Goals and certification of performance by the Committee as set forth above. In
addition, the aggregate amount of compensation to be paid to any one participant
in respect of all Cash Bonus Awards payable only in cash and not related to
shares of Common Stock and granted to that participant in any one calendar year
shall not exceed $5,000,000. Awards that are cancelled during the year shall be
counted against this limit to the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(c) Expiration of Grant Authority. As required pursuant to Section 162(m) of the
Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the Committee’s authority to
grant new awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code (other than Options and SARs
with an Exercise Price that is not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of
Common Stock on the Grant Date) shall terminate upon the first meeting of the
Company’s shareholders that occurs in 2015.

SECTION 11. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.

(a) Adjustments. Subject to Section 12, upon (or, as may be necessary to effect
the adjustment, immediately prior to): any reclassification, recapitalization,
stock split (including a stock split in the form of a stock dividend) or reverse
stock split; any merger, combination, consolidation, or other reorganization;
any spin-off, split-up, or similar extraordinary dividend distribution in
respect of the Common Stock; or any exchange of Common Stock or other securities
of the Company, or any similar, unusual or extraordinary corporate transaction
in respect of the Common Stock; then the Committee shall equitably and
proportionately adjust (1) the number and type of Shares of Common Stock (or
other securities) that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards (including
the specific Share limits, maximums and numbers of Shares set forth elsewhere in
the Plan), (2) the number, amount and type of Shares of Common Stock (or other
securities or property) subject to any outstanding Awards, (3) the grant,
purchase, or Exercise Price of any outstanding Awards, and/or (4) the
securities, cash or other property deliverable upon exercise or payment of any
outstanding Awards, in each case to the extent necessary to preserve (but not
increase) the level of incentives intended by the Plan and the then-outstanding
Awards.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in the applicable Award Agreement, upon (or,
as may be necessary to effect the adjustment, immediately prior to) any event or
transaction described in the preceding paragraph or a sale of all or
substantially all of the business or assets of the Company as an entirety, the
Company shall equitably and proportionately adjust the Performance Goals
applicable to any then-outstanding performance-based Awards to the extent
necessary to preserve (but not increase) the level of incentives intended by the
Plan and the then-outstanding performance-based Awards.

It is intended that, if possible, any adjustments contemplated by the preceding
two paragraphs be made in a manner that satisfies applicable legal, tax
(including, without limitation and as applicable in the circumstances,
Section 424 of the Code, Section 409A of the Code and Section 162(m) of the
Code) and accounting (so as to not trigger any charge to earnings with respect
to such adjustment) requirements.

Without limiting the generality of Section 3, any good faith determination by
the Committee as to whether an adjustment is required in the circumstances
pursuant to this Section 11(a), and the extent and nature of any such
adjustment, shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

(b) Participant Rights. Except as provided in this Section 11, a Participant
shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class
or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend
or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.
If by reason of an adjustment pursuant to this Section 11 a Participant’s Award
covers additional or different shares of stock or securities, then such
additional or different shares and the Award in respect thereof shall be subject
to all of the terms, conditions and restrictions which were applicable to the
Award and the Shares subject to the Award prior to such adjustment.

SECTION 12. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.

Upon the occurrence of any of the following: any merger, combination,
consolidation, or other reorganization; any exchange of Common Stock or other
securities of the Company; a sale of all or substantially all the business,
stock or assets of the Company; a dissolution of the Company; or any other event
in which the Company does not survive (or does not survive as a public company
in respect of its Common Stock); then the Committee may make provision for a
cash payment in settlement of, or for the assumption, substitution or exchange
of any or all outstanding Share-based Awards or the cash, securities or property
deliverable to the

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

holder of any or all outstanding Share-based Awards, based upon, to the extent
relevant under the circumstances, the distribution or consideration payable to
holders of the Common Stock upon or in respect of such event. Upon the
occurrence of any event described in the preceding sentence, then, unless the
Committee has made a provision for the substitution, assumption, exchange or
other continuation or settlement of the Award or the Award would otherwise
continue in accordance with its terms in the circumstances, each Award shall
terminate upon the related event; provided that the holder of an Option or SAR
shall be given reasonable advance notice of the impending termination and a
reasonable opportunity to exercise his or her outstanding vested Options and
SARs in accordance with their terms before the termination of such Awards
(except that in no case shall more than ten days’ notice of the impending
termination be required).

The Committee may adopt such valuation methodologies for outstanding Awards as
it deems reasonable in the event of a cash or property settlement and, in the
case of Options, SARs or similar rights, but without limitation on other
methodologies, may base such settlement solely upon the excess if any of the per
share amount payable upon or in respect of such event over the Exercise Price of
the Award.

In any of the events referred to in this Section 12, the Committee may take such
action contemplated by this Section 12 prior to such event (as opposed to on the
occurrence of such event) to the extent that the Committee deems the action
necessary to permit the Participant to realize the benefits intended to be
conveyed with respect to the underlying Shares.

Without limiting the generality of Section 3, any good faith determination by
the Committee pursuant to its authority under this Section 12 shall be
conclusive and binding on all persons.

SECTION 13. LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS.

(a) Participant Rights. A Participant’s rights, if any, in respect of or in
connection with any Award are derived solely from the discretionary decision of
the Company to permit the individual to participate in the Plan and to benefit
from a discretionary Award. By accepting an Award under the Plan, a Participant
expressly acknowledges that there is no obligation on the part of the Company to
continue the Plan and/or grant any additional Awards. Any Award granted
hereunder is not intended to be compensation of a continuing or recurring
nature, or part of a Participant’s normal or expected compensation, and in no
way represents any portion of a Participant’s salary, compensation, or other
remuneration for purposes of pension benefits, severance, redundancy,
resignation or any other purpose.

Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give
any individual a right to remain an employee, consultant or director of the
Company, a Parent, or any Subsidiary. The Company and its Parent and
Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate the service of any person at any
time, and for any reason, subject to Applicable Laws, the Company’s Articles of
Incorporation and Bylaws and any applicable written employment agreement (if
any), and such terminated person shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any
claim to damages or specific performance for breach of contract or dismissal,
compensation for loss of office, tort or otherwise with respect to the Plan or
any outstanding Award that is forfeited and/or is terminated by its terms or to
any future Award.

(b) Shareholders’ Rights. Except as provided in Section 9(f), a Participant
shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a shareholder
with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the issuance of
such Shares (as evidenced by an appropriate entry on the books of the Company or
a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made
for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the
date when such Shares are issued, except as expressly provided in Sections 9(f)
and 11.

(c) Regulatory Requirements. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding,
the obligation of the Company to issue Shares or other securities under the Plan
shall be subject to all Applicable Laws and such approval by any regulatory body
as may be required. The Company reserves the right to restrict, in whole or in

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

part, the delivery of Shares or other securities pursuant to any Award prior to
the satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the issuance of such
Shares or other securities, to their registration, qualification or listing or
to an exemption from registration, qualification or listing. The person
acquiring any securities under the Plan will, if requested by the Company or one
of its Subsidiaries, provide such assurances and representations to the Company
or one of its Subsidiaries as the Committee may deem necessary or desirable to
assure compliance with all applicable legal and accounting requirements.

SECTION 14. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

(a) General. A Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company
for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection
with his or her Award. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any
amount payable under the Plan, including delivery of Shares to be made pursuant
to an Award granted under the Plan, all federal, state, city, local or foreign
taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment
and the Company may take any such actions as may be necessary in the opinion of
the Company to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. The
Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under
the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

(b) Share Withholding. The Committee may (i) permit or require a Participant to
satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by
having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would
be issued to him or her, or (ii) permit a Participant to satisfy such
obligations by Cashless Exercise or by surrendering all or a portion of any
Shares that he or she previously acquired; provided that Shares withheld or
previously owned Shares that are tendered shall not exceed the amount necessary
to satisfy the Company’s tax withholding obligations at the minimum statutory
withholding rates, including, but not limited to, U.S. federal and state income
taxes, payroll taxes and foreign taxes, if applicable, unless the previously
owned Shares have been held for a minimum duration determined satisfactory as
established by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion. Any payment of
taxes by assigning Shares to the Company may be subject to restrictions,
including, but not limited to, any restrictions required by rules of the SEC. If
any Shares are used to satisfy withholding taxes, such Shares shall be valued
based on the Fair Market Value thereof on the date when the withholding for
taxes is required to be made.

SECTION 15. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS; MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Term of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate on May 10, 2017 and may be
terminated on any earlier date pursuant to this Section 15.

(b) Amendment or Termination of the Plan. The Board may, at any time, terminate
or, from time to time, amend, modify or suspend the Plan, in whole or in part.
No awards may be granted during any period that the Board suspends the Plan. To
the extent then required by Applicable Laws or required under Sections 162, 422
or 424 of the Code to preserve the intended tax consequences of the Plan, or
deemed necessary or advisable by the Board, any amendment to the Plan shall be
subject to shareholder approval.

(c) Amendments to Awards. Without limiting any other express authority of the
Committee under (but subject to) the express limits of the Plan, the Committee
by agreement or resolution may waive conditions of or limitations on Awards to
Participants that the Committee in the prior exercise of its discretion has
imposed, without the consent of a Participant, and (subject to the requirements
of Sections 3 and 15(d)) may make other changes to the terms and conditions of
Awards. Any amendment or other action that would constitute a Re-Pricing of an
Award is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3(b).

(d) Limitations on Amendments to Plan and Awards. No amendment, suspension or
termination of the Plan or amendment of any outstanding Award Agreement shall,
without written consent of the Participant, affect in any manner materially
adverse to the Participant any rights or benefits of the Participant or
obligations of the Company under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the
effective date of such change. Changes, settlements and other actions
contemplated by Section 11 shall not be deemed to constitute changes or
amendments for purposes of this Section 15.

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(e) Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of California (except its choice-of-law provisions)
and applicable U.S. Federal Laws.

(f) Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision
invalid and unenforceable, the remaining provisions of the Plan shall continue
in effect.

(g) Section Headings. Captions and headings are given to the sections and
subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such
headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction
or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

(h) No Corporate Action Restriction. The existence of the Plan, the Award
Agreements and the Awards granted hereunder shall not limit, affect or restrict
in any way the right or power of the Board or the shareholders of the Company to
make or authorize: (i) any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other
change in the capital structure or business of the Company or any Subsidiary,
(ii) any merger, amalgamation, consolidation or change in the ownership of the
Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) any issue of bonds, debentures, capital,
preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the capital stock (or
the rights thereof) of the Company or any Subsidiary, (iv) any dissolution or
liquidation of the Company or any Subsidiary, (v) any sale or transfer of all or
any part of the assets or business of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (vi) any
other corporate act or proceeding by the Company or any Subsidiary. No
Participant, beneficiary or any other person shall have any claim under any
Award or Award agreement against any member of the Board or the Committee, or
the Company or any employees, officers or agents of the Company or any
Subsidiary, as a result of any such action.

(i) Stock-Based Awards in Substitution for Stock Options or Awards Granted by
Other Company. Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution for or in
connection with an assumption of employee, director and/or consultant stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or other stock-based awards
granted by other entities to persons who are or who will become Employees or
Consultants in respect of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries in connection
with a distribution, merger or other reorganization by or with the granting
entity or an affiliated entity, or the acquisition by the Company or one of its
Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, of all or a substantial part of the stock
or assets of the granting entity. The Awards so granted may reflect the original
terms of the related award being assumed or substituted for and need not comply
with other specific terms of the Plan, with Common Stock substituted for the
securities covered by the original award and with the number of shares of Common
Stock subject to such awards, as well as any exercise or purchase prices
applicable to such awards, adjusted to account for differences in stock prices
in connection with the transaction. Any shares that are delivered and any Awards
that are granted by, or become obligations of, the Company, as a result of any
such assumption or substitution in connection with any such transaction shall
not be counted against the Share limit or other limits on the number of shares
available for issuance under the Plan.
