instrument or agreement relating to, or Award made under, the Plan; establish,

or desirable for the administration of the Plan.  The Committee shall have no
discretion relating to the timing, price and size of Awards granted under the

through 9.  Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, all designations,
determinations, interpretations and other decisions under or with respect to the

made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Persons,
including the Company, any Subsidiary, any Participant, any holder or
beneficiary of any Award, any stockholder of the Company and any Eligible
Individual.

SECTION 4

Eligibility.  Each Eligible Individual shall be granted an Award in accordance
with the provisions of the Plan.

SECTION 5

(a)  Shares Available for Awards.  Subject to adjustment as provided in
paragraph 5(b):

(i)  Calculation of Number of Shares Available.  The number of Shares with
respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be such number of
Shares as results from the application of the award formulas set forth in
Sections 6 through 8.  Such number of Shares shall not be reduced by the number
of Shares with respect to which SIUs shall be granted, which shall be determined
in accordance with Section 9.  If, after the effective date of the Plan, an
Award granted under the Plan expires or is exercised, forfeited, canceled or
terminated without the delivery of Shares, then the Shares covered by such Award
or to which such Award relates, or the number of Shares otherwise counted
against the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be
granted, to the extent of any such expiration, exercise, forfeiture,
cancellation or termination, shall not thereafter be available for grants or
Awards under the Plan.

(ii)  Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards.  Any Shares delivered pursuant
to an Award may consist of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares,
including Shares held by the Company or a Subsidiary and Shares acquired in the
open market or otherwise obtained by the Company or a Subsidiary.

(b)  Adjustments.  In the event that the Committee determines that any dividend
or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, Subsidiary
securities, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split,
reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off,
combination, repurchase or exchange of Shares or other securities of the
Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other
securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event
affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be
appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee may,
in its sole discretion and in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any
or all of (i) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property)
subject to outstanding Awards, and (ii) the grant or exercise price with respect
to any Award and, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to
the holder of an outstanding Award; provided, that the number of Shares subject
to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number.

SECTION 6

(a)  Stock Options.  Immediately prior to the Distribution, each holder of an
FTX Option or an FTX Director Option shall receive an Option to purchase such
number of Shares (disregarding any fractional Share) as such holder would be
eligible to receive in the Distribution with respect to the number of shares of
FTX common stock subject to such FTX Award if such holder were the owner of
record of such FTX shares on the record date for the Distribution.  Except as
set forth in paragraph 6(b), each such Option shall have the same remaining term
and other terms and conditions (whether such terms and conditions are contained
in the related FTX Award agreement or in the plan under which such FTX Award was
made) and shall be exercisable to the same extent as the FTX Award from which
they were derived, with such changes and modifications as are necessary to
substitute the Company for FTX as the issuer of the Option; provided, however,
if the FTX Award from which an Option is derived has a term that will expire
prior to one hundred and eighty days after the effective date of the
Distribution, the term of such Option shall expire on the one hundred and
eightieth day after the effective date of the Distribution.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable prior to the ninetieth day after the
effective date of the Distribution.

(b)  Exercise Price.  The per Share exercise price of each Option granted
pursuant to paragraph 6(a) shall be the per share exercise price or grant price
of the FTX Award from which such Option was derived multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the per Share fair market value at the time of the
Distribution, determined as set forth below, and the denominator of which is the
per share fair market value of FTX common stock (trading with due bills) at the
time of the Distribution, determined as set forth below.  For purposes of this
paragraph 6(b), the per Share fair market value at the time of the Distribution
shall be the weighted average when-issued per Share price on the New York Stock
Exchange on the first day on which the Shares are traded on a when-issued basis
on the New York Stock Exchange, and the per share fair market value of FTX
common stock (trading with due bills) at the time of the Distribution shall be
the weighted average per share price of FTX common stock (trading with due
bills) on the New York Stock Exchange on such trading day.

(c)  Tax-Offset Payment Right.  If the FTX Award from which the Option granted
under this Section 6 derives contained a right to receive a cash payment upon
exercise of such FTX Award related to and intended to defray the income tax
liability associated therewith, the Option granted under this Section 6 shall
contain a similar tax-offset payment right feature.

(d)  Payment.  No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an
Option until payment in full of the option price therefor is received by the
Company.  Such payment may be made in cash, or its equivalent, or, if and to the
extent permitted by the Committee, by applying cash amounts payable by the
Company upon the exercise of such Option or other Awards by the holder thereof
or by exchanging whole Shares owned by such holder (which are not the subject of
any pledge or other security interest), or by a combination of the foregoing,
provided that the combined value of all cash, cash equivalents, cash amounts so
payable by the Company upon exercises of Awards and the fair market value of any
such whole Shares so tendered to the Company, valued (in accordance with
procedures established by the Committee) as of the effective date of such
exercise, is at least equal to such option price.

SECTION 7

(a)  Stock Appreciation Rights.  Immediately prior to the Distribution, each
holder of an FTX SAR shall receive a Stock Appreciation Right relating to such
number of Shares (disregarding any fractional Share) as such holder would be
eligible to receive in the Distribution with respect to the number of shares of
FTX common stock to which such FTX SAR relates if such holder were the owner of
record of such FTX shares on the record date for the Distribution.  Except as
set forth below, each such SAR shall have the same remaining term and other
terms and conditions (whether such terms and conditions are contained in the
related FTX SAR agreement or in the plan under which such FTX SAR was awarded)
and shall be exercisable to the same extent as the FTX SAR from which they were
derived, with such changes and modifications as are necessary to substitute the
Company for FTX as the issuer of the SAR.  The per Share grant price of each SAR
shall be determined in the same manner as the exercise price of Options granted
pursuant to Section 6, as described in paragraph 6(b).

(b)  A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the holder thereof to receive upon
exercise, for each Share to which the SAR relates, an amount in cash equal to
the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a Share on the date of exercise
of the SAR over the grant price.

SECTION 8

(a)  Limited Rights.  Each holder of an FTX Option shall receive, at the same
time as and in tandem with each Option granted to such holder under Section 6,
Limited Rights equal in number to the number of Shares subject to such Option
with which such Limited Rights are in tandem.  Such Limited Rights shall have a
grant price equal to the exercise price of the Option with which it is in
tandem, and shall in all other respects contain the same terms and conditions as
in the agreement pertaining to the FTX Option from which they derived.

(b)  A Limited Right shall entitle the holder thereof to receive upon exercise,
for each Share to which the Limited Right relates, an amount in cash equal to
the excess, if any, of the Offer Price on the date of exercise of the Limited
Right over the grant price.  Any Limited Right shall only be exercisable during
a period beginning not earlier than one day and ending not more than ninety days
after the expiration date of an Offer.

SECTION 9

(a)  Stock Incentive Units.  Immediately prior to the Distribution, each holder
of an FTX SIU shall receive a Stock Incentive Unit relating to such number of
Shares (disregarding any fractional Share) as such holder would be eligible to
receive in the Distribution with respect to the number of shares of FTX common
stock to which such FTX SIU relates if such holder were the owner of record of
such FTX shares on the record date for the Distribution.  Except as set forth
below, each such SIU shall have the same remaining term and other terms and
conditions (whether such terms and conditions are contained in the related FTX
SIU agreement or in the plan under which such FTX SIU was awarded) and shall be
exercisable to the same extent as the FTX SIU from which they were derived, with
such changes and modifications as are necessary to substitute the Company for
FTX as the issuer of the SIU.  The per Share exercise price of each SIU shall be
determined in the same manner as the exercise price of Options granted pursuant
to Section 6, as described in paragraph 6(b).

(b)  A Stock Incentive Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to receive upon
exercise, for each Share to which the SIU relates, an amount in cash equal to
the excess, if any, of the fair market value of a Share on the date of exercise
of the SIU over the exercise price.  In the event that the SIU is exercised
during a period beginning not earlier than one day after the expiration date of
an Offer and ending not more than ninety days after the expiration date of such
Offer, an SIU shall entitle the  holder thereof to receive upon exercise, for
each Share to which the SIU relates, the higher of (i) the amount described in
the first sentence of this paragraph 9(b) and (ii) an amount in cash equal to
the excess, if any, of the Offer Price on the date of exercise of the SIU over
the exercise price.

SECTION 10

(a)  Amendments to the Plan.  The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan
or any portion thereof at any time, provided that no amendment shall be made
without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any
tax or regulatory requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, (i) the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as may be
necessary for the Plan to conform with local rules and regulations in any
jurisdiction outside the United States and (ii) any amendment, suspension or
termination made in accordance with this paragraph 10(a) that would adversely
affect a holder’s rights under an Award made under the Plan may not be made
without such holder’s consent.

(b)  Amendments to Awards.  The Committee may amend, modify or terminate any
outstanding Award with the holder’s consent at any time prior to payment or
exercise in any manner not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, including
without limitation, (i) to change the date or dates as of which an Award becomes
exercisable, or (ii) to cancel an Award and grant a new Award in substitution
therefor under such different terms and conditions as it determines in its sole
and complete discretion to be appropriate.

(c)  Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring
Events.  The Committee is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms and
conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or
nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in
paragraph 5(b) hereof) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the
Company or any Subsidiary, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or
accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments
are appropriate to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential
benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.

(d)  Cancellation.  Any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may cause any Award granted hereunder to
be canceled in consideration of a cash payment or alternative Award made to the
holder of such canceled Award equal in value to such canceled Award.  The
determinations of value under this subparagraph shall be made by the Committee
in its sole discretion.

SECTION 11

(a)  Award Agreements.  Each Award hereunder shall be evidenced by a writing
delivered to the Participant that shall specify the terms and conditions thereof
and any rules applicable thereto and that shall, in accordance with the
provisions of the Plan, replicate as closely as possible the terms, conditions
and other contractual attributes of the FTX Award from which the Award is
derived, as in effect on the Distribution Date.

(b)  Transferability.  No Awards granted hereunder may be transferred, pledged,
assigned or otherwise encumbered by a Participant except: (i) by will; (ii) by
the laws of descent and distribution; (iii) pursuant to a domestic relations
order, as defined in the Code, if permitted by the Committee and so provided in
the Award Agreement or an amendment thereto; or (iv) as to Options only, if
permitted by the Committee and so provided in the Award Agreement or an
amendment thereto, (a) to Immediate Family Members, (b) to a partnership in
which Immediate Family Members, or entities in which Immediate Family Members
are the owners, members or beneficiaries, as appropriate, are the partners, (c)
to a limited liability company in which Immediate Family Members, or entities in
which Immediate Family Members are the owners, members or beneficiaries, as
appropriate, are the members, or (d) to a trust for the benefit of Immediate
Family Members; provided, however, that no more than a de minimus beneficial
interest in a partnership, limited liability company or trust described in (b),
(c) or (d) above may be owned by a person who is not an Immediate Family Member
or by an entity that is not beneficially owned solely by Immediate Family
Members.  "Immediate Family Members" shall be defined as the spouse and natural
or adopted children or grandchildren of the Participant and their spouses.  Any
attempted assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of
Awards, or levy of attachment or similar process upon Awards not specifically
permitted herein, shall be null and void and without effect.  The designation of
a Designated Beneficiary shall not be a violation of this Section 11(b).

(c)  Share Certificates.  All certificates for Shares or other securities
delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be
subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may
deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements
of the SEC, any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are
then listed, and any applicable federal or state laws, and the Committee may
cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.

(d)  No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.  Nothing contained in the Plan
shall prevent the Company from adopting or continuing in effect other
compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the grant of
options, stock appreciation rights and other types of Awards provided for
hereunder (subject to stockholder approval of any such arrangement if approval
is required), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or
applicable only in specific cases.

(e)  No Right to Employment.  The grant of an Award shall not be construed as
giving a Participant the right to be engaged or employed by or retained in the
employ of FTX, the Company or any Subsidiary.  FTX, the Company or any
Subsidiary may at any time dismiss a Participant from engagement or employment,
free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly
provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement or any agreement relating to the
engagement or employment of the Participant by FTX, the Company or any
Subsidiary.

(f)  Governing Law.  The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan, any
rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

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

(h)  No Trust or Fund Created.  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or
be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary
relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other Person.  To the
extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company
pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
unsecured general creditor of the Company.

(i)  No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered
pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine, in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, as applicable, whether cash, other
securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any
fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall
be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

(j)  Headings.  Headings are given to the 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.

(k) Withholding.  (i) A Participant shall be required to pay to the Company, and
the Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts paid to a
Participant (whether under the Plan or otherwise), any taxes required by law to
be paid or withheld in respect of Awards hereunder to such Participant. The
Committee may provide for additional cash payments to holders of Awards to
defray or offset any tax arising from the grant, vesting, exercise or payment of
any Award.

  

(ii) At any time that a Participant is required to pay to the Company an amount
required to be withheld under the applicable tax laws in connection with the
issuance of Shares under the Plan, the Participant may, if permitted by the
Committee, satisfy this obligation in whole or in part by electing (the
"Election") to have the Company withhold from the issuance Shares having a value
equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld.  The value of the Shares
withheld shall be based on the fair market value of the Shares on the date as of
which the amount of tax to be withheld shall be determined in accordance with
applicable tax laws (the "Tax Date").

 

(iii) If permitted by the Committee, a Participant may also satisfy up to his or
her total tax liability related to an Award by delivering Shares owned by the
Participant, which Shares may be subject to holding period requirements
determined by the Committee.  The value of the Shares delivered shall be based
on the fair market value of the Shares on the Tax Date.

 

(iv) Each Election to have Shares withheld must be made prior to the Tax Date.
If a Participant wishes to deliver Shares in payment of taxes, the Participant
must so notify the Company prior to the Tax Date.

SECTION 12

Effective Date of the Plan.  The Plan shall be effective as of the date of its
approval by the holders of the common stock of the Company.

SECTION 13

Term of the Plan.  Subject to paragraph 5(b), no Award shall be granted under
the Plan except the Awards provided for in Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9.  Awards
granted hereunder shall continue until their respective expiration dates, and
the authority of the Committee to administer, interpret, amend, alter, adjust,
suspend, discontinue, or terminate, in accordance with the provisions of the
Plan, any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award
shall extend until the latest such date.
