committee of the Board. The Board shall have full authority to interpret the
Plan; to establish, amend and rescind rules for carrying out the Plan; to
administer the Plan; to construe the respective Award Agreements and the Plan;
and to make all other determinations and to take such steps in connection with
the Plan as the Board, in its discretion, deems necessary or desirable for
administering the Plan. Each determination, interpretation or other action made

binding for all purposes and upon all persons, including, without limitation,
the Company, the directors, officers and employees of the Company, the Eligible
Director and his respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal
representatives and other successors in interest.
     The Board shall have the discretionary authority, subject to the terms of
the Plan, to determine the time or times at which Awards may be exercised, paid
or transferred, as the case may be; the form and manner of payment of any amount
due from an Eligible Director in connection with any Award; whether any
restriction (including any provision as to vesting, exercisability, payment or
transferability) shall be modified or waived, in whole or in part, after the
date of grant of the Award in the event an Eligible Director dies, becomes
disabled or ceases to serve as a member of the Board for any reason, provided,
however, the Board shall not modify or waive any restriction of any Section 409A

violation of Section 1.409A-3(j), or otherwise violate Section 409A of the Code
or any provision of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; whether
amounts payable by the Company in respect of any Award shall be paid in Common
Stock, cash or any combination thereof; whether and to what extent any Award may

otherwise, the exercise price of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation
Right nor to grant a new Option or Stock Appreciation Right in substitution for
or upon the cancellation of any previously granted Option or Stock Appreciation
Right, which has the effect of reducing the exercise price, unless approved by
the Company’s stockholders.
     4.2 Delegation. The Board may appoint the Secretary of the Company, other
officers or employees of the Company or competent professional advisors to
assist the Board in the administration of the Plan, and may grant authority to
such persons to execute agreements or other documents on its behalf.

5

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

 

     4.3 Agents. The Board may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents
as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan, and may rely upon
any opinion received from any such counsel or consultant and any computation
received from any such consultant or agent. Expenses incurred by the Board in
the engagement of any such counsel, consultant or agent shall be paid by the

     4.4 Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the
Board or any committee thereof or any person designated pursuant to Section 4.2
or 4.3 above shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and
from any loss, cost, liability or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably
incurred by him in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or
proceeding to which he may be made a party or in which he may be involved by
reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from
any and all amounts paid by him in settlement thereof, with the Company’s
approval, or paid by him in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action,
suit or proceeding against him, provided he shall give the Company an
opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he
undertakes to handle and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of
indemnification shall not be exclusive and shall be independent of any other
rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the
Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, by contract, as a matter of
law or otherwise.
Section 5. Shares: Adjustment upon Certain Events
     5.1 Shares Available. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.5, the number
of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards under the Plan may not exceed
500,000, plus any shares that become available for grant pursuant to Section 5.2
and shares that have not been utilized under the Company’s Nonemployee Director
Stock Plan at the time of its termination. The shares to be delivered under the
Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of Common Stock held in treasury or
authorized but unissued Common Stock, not reserved for any other purpose, or
from Common Stock reacquired by the Company.
     5.2 Canceled, Terminated, or Forfeited Awards. Any shares of Common Stock
subject to any portion of an Award which, in any such case and for any reason,
expires, or is canceled, terminated or otherwise settled, without the issuance
of such shares of Common Stock, shall again be available for award under the
Plan. Shares of Common Stock that are delivered to the Company, either actually
or by attestation, in payment of the exercise price for any Option granted under
the Plan will also be available for future grants under the Plan. Shares
reacquired by the Company on the open market using the cash option proceeds (the
exercise price paid in cash and the value of the tax benefit that could be
realized by the Company determined under generally accepted accounting
principles) received by the Company from the exercise of Options granted under
the Plan will also be available for future grants under the Plan; provided,
however, that the number of Shares that may again be available through open
market purchases with option proceeds shall not be greater than the amount of
such option proceeds divided by the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of
the Option giving rise to such proceeds.
     5.3 Substitute Awards. Awards assumed or granted in substitution or
exchange for awards previously granted by a company acquired by the Company or
with which the Company

6

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

 

combines shall not reduce the Shares that may be authorized for grant to an
Eligible Director or delivered under the Plan.
     5.4 No Limit on Corporate Action. The existence of this Plan and Shares
granted hereunder shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or
the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment,
recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital
structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any
issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or
affecting Common Stock, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any
sale or transfer of all or part of its assets or business, or any other
corporate act or proceeding.
     5.5 Adjustment in Capitalization. The aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock available for Awards under Section 5.1, or subject to outstanding Awards,
and the respective prices and/or vesting criteria applicable to outstanding
Awards shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect, as deemed equitable and
appropriate by the Board, an Adjustment Event. To the extent deemed equitable
and appropriate by the Board, subject to any required action by stockholders, in
any merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other
similar transaction, any Award granted under the Plan shall pertain to the
securities and other property to which a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock covered by the Award would have been entitled to receive in
connection with such event.
     Any shares of stock (whether Common Stock, shares of stock into which
shares of Common Stock are converted or for which shares of Common Stock are
exchanged or shares of stock are distributed with respect to Common Stock) or
cash or other property received with respect to any Award granted under the Plan
as a result of any Adjustment Event, any distribution of property or any merger,
consolidation, reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar
transaction shall, except as provided in Section 9.4, Section 10.5 or as
otherwise provided by the Board at or after the date any such Award is made, be
subject to the same terms and conditions, including vesting and restrictions on
exercisability or transfer, as are applicable to the Award with respect to which
such shares, cash or other property is received, and any Award Agreement and
stock certificate(s) representing or evidencing any shares of stock or other
property so received shall so provide and be legended as appropriate.
Section 6. Awards
     6.1 Initial Awards. During the term of the Plan, each Eligible Director
shall receive an Option Award to purchase Shares or such other form of Award as
determined by the Board at the time of such grant (the “Initial Award”) on the
date of the meeting of the Board or the annual meeting of the stockholders of
the Company, whichever is applicable, at which such Eligible Director is first
elected to serve as a member of the Board.
     6.2 Annual Awards. Each Eligible Director may, at the discretion of the
Board, also be granted one or more Option Awards or other Awards after the
Initial Award (each an “Annual Award”), at such time or times and in such amount
as shall be determined by the Board.
     6.3 General. All Initial Awards and Annual Awards shall be reasonable in
size and amount and all Annual Awards shall be consistent in size from one
Eligible Director to another,

7

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

 

except with respect to differentiation in award size based on Board committee
membership(s) and service as the chair of a Board committee.
Section 7. Options
     7.1 Grant of Options. Options may be granted to Eligible Directors at such
time or times as shall be determined by the Board. Options granted under the
Plan shall be non-qualified stock options. The date of grant of an Option under
the Plan will be the date on which the Option is awarded by the Board or, if so
determined by the Board, the date on which occurs any event the occurrence of
which is an express condition precedent to the grant of the Option. The Board
shall determine the number of Options, if any, to be granted to an Eligible
Director. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall
specify the exercise price, the duration of the Option, the number of shares of
Common Stock to which the Option pertains and such other terms and conditions
not inconsistent with the Plan as the Board shall determine.
     7.2 Exercise Price. Options granted pursuant to the Plan shall have an
exercise price which is not less than the Fair Market Value on the date the
Option is granted.
     7.3 Exercise of Options. Options awarded to an Eligible Director under the
Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such restrictions
or other conditions, as the Board shall determine. Once exercisable, an Option
may be exercised from time to time, in whole or in part, up to the total number
of shares of Common Stock with respect to which it is then exercisable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable for more than
10 years after the date on which it is granted.
     7.4 Payment. The Board shall establish procedures governing the exercise of
Options, which shall require that notice of exercise be given and that the
Option price be paid in full at the time of exercise (i) in cash or cash
equivalents, (ii) in the discretion of the Board, in shares of Qualifying Common
Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to such Option
price or in a combination of cash and Qualifying Common Stock or (iii) in
accordance with such other procedures or in such other form as the Board shall
from time to time determine. As soon as practicable after receipt of an exercise
notice and payment of the exercise price in accordance with this Section 7.4,
the Company shall direct its stock transfer agent to make (or to cause to be
made) an appropriate book entry reflecting the Eligible Director’s ownership of
the shares of Common Stock so acquired.
Section 8. Stock Appreciation Rights
     8.1 Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be
granted to Eligible Directors at such time or times and with respect to such
number of shares of Common Stock as shall be determined by the Board and shall
be subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may impose. Each grant of
an Award of Stock Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.
     8.2 Exercise Price. Stock Appreciation Rights granted pursuant to the Plan
shall have an exercise price which is not less than the Fair Market Value on the
date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted, except that if a Stock
Appreciation Right is granted retroactively in tandem with or in substitution
for an Option, the designated Fair Market Value for purposes of establishing

8

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

 

the exercise price for such Stock Appreciation Rights may be the Fair Market
Value on the date the Options were granted.
     8.3 Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be
exercised at such time or times and subject to such conditions, including the
occurrence of any event or events, including a Change in Control, as the Board
shall determine, either at or after the date of grant. Stock Appreciation Rights
which are granted in tandem with an Option may only be exercised upon the
surrender of the right to exercise such Option for an equivalent number of
shares and may be exercised only with respect to the shares of Common Stock for
which the related Option is then exercisable. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Plan, the Board may impose such conditions on the exercise of a
Stock Appreciation Right (including, without limitation, the right of the Board
to limit the time of exercise to specified periods) as may be required to
satisfy the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 as promulgated under the Act or
any successor rule.
     8.4 Payment. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Eligible
Director shall be entitled to receive payment in cash, Common Stock or in a
combination of cash and Common Stock, as determined by the Board, of an amount
determined by multiplying:
     (i) any increase in the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the
date of exercise over the exercise price fixed by the Board at the date of grant
of such Stock Appreciation Right, provided such amount shall not be less than
the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock at the date of grant, by
     (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock
Appreciation Right is exercised.
Section 9. Restricted Stock
     9.1 Grant of Restricted Stock. The Board may grant Awards of Restricted
Stock to Eligible Directors at such times and in such amounts and subject to
such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan, as it shall
determine. Unless the Board provides otherwise at or after the date of grant,
stock certificates evidencing any shares of Restricted Stock so granted shall be
held in the custody of the Secretary of the Company until the Restriction Period
lapses, and, as a condition to the grant of any Award of shares of Restricted
Stock, the Eligible Director shall have delivered to the Company a stock power,
endorsed in blank, relating to the shares of Common Stock covered by such Award.
Each grant of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.
     9.2 Payment. Upon the expiration or termination of the Restriction Period,
which shall not be less than three years (pro rata or other graded vesting
during the Restriction Period may be permitted), and the satisfaction (as
determined by the Board) of any other conditions determined by the Board, the
restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock shall lapse and the Company
shall cancel and direct its stock transfer agent to make (or to cause to be
made) an appropriate book entry reflecting the Eligible Director’s ownership of
such number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the restrictions
have lapsed, free of all such restrictions, other than any imposed by applicable
law. Upon request, the Company shall deliver to the

9

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

 

Eligible Director a stock certificate registered in such Eligible Director’s
name and representing the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which
the restrictions have lapsed, free of all such restrictions except any that may
be imposed by law. To the extent provided by the Board, in its discretion, in
lieu of delivering shares of Common Stock, the Company may make a cash payment
in full or partial satisfaction of any Award of Restricted Stock equal to the
Fair Market Value, on the date the applicable restrictions lapse, of the number
of shares or units of Restricted Stock with respect to which such restrictions
have lapsed. No payment will be required to be made by the Eligible Director
upon the delivery of such shares of Common Stock and/or cash.
     9.3 Restrictions on Transferability during Restriction Period. Except as
provided in Section 15.1, shares of Restricted Stock or units with respect to
Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated until such time as the Restriction Period applicable
thereto shall have lapsed upon the satisfaction of such conditions, including
without limitation, the occurrence of such event or events, as shall be
determined by the Board either at or after the time of grant.
     9.4 Rights as a Stockholder. Unless otherwise determined by the Board at or
after the date of grant, Eligible Directors granted shares of Restricted Stock
shall be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the Company’s stockholders.
In addition, unless otherwise determined by the Board, Eligible Directors
granted Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive, either currently or at a
future date, as specified by the Board, all dividends or dividend equivalents
and other distributions or equivalent value of other distributions paid with
respect to those shares, provided that if any such dividends, dividend
equivalents or distributions are paid in shares of Common Stock or other
property (other than cash), such shares and other property shall be subject to
the same forfeiture restrictions and restrictions on transferability as apply to
the Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.
     9.5 Legend. To the extent any stock certificate is issued to an Eligible
Director in respect of shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan prior
to the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period, such certificate shall
be registered in the name of the Eligible Director and shall bear the following
(or similar) legend:
     “The shares of stock represented by this certificate are subject to the
terms and conditions contained in the Lexmark International, Inc. 2005
Nonemployee Director Stock Plan and the Award Agreement, dated as of
_____________ between the Company and the Eligible Director, and may not be
sold, pledged, transferred, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered in
any manner (except as provided in Section 15.1 of the Plan or in such Award
Agreement) until _____________.”
     Upon the lapse of the Restriction Period with respect to any such shares of
Restricted Stock, the Company shall, upon the Eligible Director’s request, issue
or have issued new share certificates without the legend described herein in
exchange for those previously issued.

     9.6 Deferred Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. An Eligible Director who
has received an Award of Restricted Stock in the form of units with respect to
shares of Common Stock may elect to defer the settlement to a specified date
after the settlement date set forth in Section 9.2, or as otherwise provided in
the Award Agreement. The initial election to defer settlement of the Restricted
Stock units must be made within 30 days after the date of grant, provided that
the vesting of such Award is contingent on the Eligible Director providing
services as a member of the Board for at least 12 months following the date of
such initial election. Absent an initial election to defer settlement of the
Restricted Stock units, the Eligible Director may also make a subsequent
election to defer the settlement of the Restricted Stock units to a specified
date after the settlement date set forth in Section 9.2, or as otherwise
provided in the Award Agreement, provided the Eligible Director’s election to
defer the settlement date must be made at least 12 months in advance of the
settlement date set forth in Section 9.2, or as otherwise provided in the Award
Agreement, and must defer settlement for a period of at least five (5) after
such date. An Eligible Director’s subsequent election to defer settlement of the
Restricted Stock units to a specified date after the settlement date set forth
in Section 9.2, or as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement shall not take
effect until at least 12 months after the date on which the subsequent election
is made by the Eligible Director.

an Equity Fee Election no later than December 31 of each calendar year with
respect to Annual Fees paid in cash to be earned for services rendered in one or

make, prior to the first date as of which such person becomes an Eligible
Director and is eligible to participate in the Plan, an Equity Fee Election to
be effective under the Plan with respect to Annual Fees to be earned for
services rendered any time after such election or (ii) an Eligible Director may
make an Equity Fee Election at any time during the 30 day period following the
first date as of which such Eligible Director is eligible to participate in the
Plan with respect to Annual Fees to be earned for services rendered after such
30 day period, provided that the Eligible Director is not currently
participating in or has participated in, within the 24-month period prior to
becoming eligible to participate, this Plan or any “Plan” as defined in
Section 1.409A-1(c) sponsored by the Company that is required to be aggregated
with this Plan under Section 1.409A-1(c)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. All
Equity Fee Elections must set forth a percentage, up to 100%, of the Annual Fees
payable to the Eligible Director, that will be paid in the form of Deferred
Stock Units in lieu of cash. In the event the Annual Fees of an Eligible
Director are increased subsequent to the making of an Equity Fee Election, such
election shall apply to the percentage of such Annual Fees elected by the
Eligible Director, as so increased.
     Effective on each Grant Date of Annual Fees, each Eligible Director who has
made an Equity Fee Election shall receive an award of Deferred Stock Units. No
shares shall be issued at the time an award of Deferred Stock Units is made and
the Company shall not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of such
Award. Upon the effective date of the initial Deferred Stock Unit award granted
to an Eligible Director, the Company will establish a separate account for such
Eligible Director and will record in such account the number of Deferred Stock
Units awarded to such Eligible Director from time to time under the plan. The
number of Deferred Stock Units awarded to an Eligible Director on the Grant Date
shall be equal to the number of

11

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

 

Shares (rounded up in the case of fractional shares) obtained by dividing
(i) the amount of such eligible fees deferred pursuant to the Equity Fee
Election of such Eligible Director then in effect with respect to the applicable
period since the most recent Grant Date by, (ii) the Fair Market Value of one
Share on such Grant Date. To the extent that any portion of an Eligible
Director’s Annual Fees are determined on an annual basis, a pro rata share of
the annual amount thereof shall be taken into account on each date that the
Company shall pay such Annual Fees (i.e. a Grant Date) for purposes of
determining Deferred Stock Units awarded to such eligible Director on such Grant
Date.
     10.2 Grant of Deferred Stock Units. The Board may grant Awards of Deferred
Stock Units to Eligible Directors in lieu of Annual Fees at such times and in
such amounts and subject to such other terms and conditions not inconsistent
with the Plan, as it shall determine. Each grant of Deferred Stock Units shall
be evidenced by an Award Agreement.
     10.3 Dividends with respect to Deferred Stock Units. The Board will
determine whether and to what extent to credit to the account of, or to pay
currently to, each recipient of a Deferred Stock Unit award, an amount equal to
any dividends paid by the Company during the period of deferral with respect to
the corresponding number of shares of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”). To
the extent provided by the Board at the date of grant, any Dividend Equivalents
with respect to cash dividends on the Common Stock credited to an Eligible
Director’s account shall be deemed to have been invested in shares of Common
Stock on the record date established for the related dividend and, accordingly,
a number of Deferred Stock Units shall be credited to such Eligible Director’s
account equal to the greatest whole number which may be obtained by dividing
(x) the value of such Dividend Equivalent on the record date, by (y) the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on such date.
     10.4 Vesting of Deferred Stock Unit Awards. Deferred Stock Units granted
pursuant to Equity Fee Elections, together with any Dividend Equivalents
credited with respect thereto, shall be fully vested at all times. Other grants
of Deferred Stock Units may be subject to forfeiture and vesting conditions as
determined by the Board and specified in the Award Agreement.
     10.5 Rights as a Stockholder. An Eligible Director or his beneficiary shall
not have any right in respect of Deferred Stock Units awarded pursuant to the
Plan to vote on any matter submitted to the Company’s stockholders until such
time as the shares of Common Stock attributable to such Deferred Stock Units
have been issued to such Eligible Director or his beneficiary, as applicable.
     10.6 Settlement of Deferred Stock Units. On June 30th in the fifth calendar
year following the year in which the Award of Deferred Stock Units is made, or
at such other time or times as shall be determined by the Board and specified in
the Award Agreement, an Eligible Director will be entitled to receive one Share
for each Deferred Stock Unit (and related Dividend Equivalents) subject to such
Award.
     10.7 Deferred Settlement of Deferred Stock Units.

12

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

 

          (a) An Eligible Director may elect to defer settlement of the Deferred
Stock Units beyond the date specified in Section 10.6 or in the Award Agreement,
as applicable, provided the following requirements are satisfied:
     (i) An Eligible Director’s election to defer settlement of the Deferred
Stock Units may not take effect until at least 12 months after the date on which
the election is made by the Eligible Director;
     (ii) An Eligible Director’s election to defer settlement of the Deferred
Stock Units must delay settlement for a period of not less than five (5) years
from the original settlement date set forth in Section 10.6, or as otherwise
provided in the Award Agreement; and
     (iii) An Eligible Director’s election to defer settlement of the Deferred
Stock Units must be made at least 12 months prior to the settlement date set
forth in Section 10.6, or as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.
          (b) The Company may delay settlement of the Deferred Stock Units if it
reasonably anticipates that the making of the payment will violate Federal
securities laws or other applicable laws provided payment is made at the
earliest date on which the Company reasonably anticipates that the making of the
payment will not cause such violation.
          (c) The Company also reserves the right to delay payment upon such
other events and conditions as the Secretary of the Treasury may prescribe in
generally applicable guidance published in the Internal Revenue Bulletin.
     10.8 2008 Transition Rules. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9 and
this Section 10, an Eligible Director may elect a new settlement date with
respect to his Restricted Stock units and/or Deferred Stock Units in accordance
with the transition relief set forth in IRS Notice 2006-79, as extended by IRS
Notice 2007-86. To elect a new settlement date, the Eligible Director must
complete a new Equity Fee Election to specify the new settlement date on or
before December 31, 2008. The new settlement date may not defer a payment that
would otherwise be made in 2008 and may not cause a Restricted Stock unit or
Deferred Stock Unit to be paid in 2008 that would not otherwise be paid in 2008.
In addition, the new election may not accelerate the settlement to a date prior
to the original settlement date specified in Sections 9.2 or 10.6, or as
otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.
Section 11. Termination of Director Status
     In the event an Eligible Director ceases to serve as a member of the Board
for any reason, with respect to prior Awards consisting of Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights:
     (i) if such Eligible Director has completed three (3) Years of Board
Service or less as of the date of such termination, any Option or Stock
Appreciation Right granted to such Eligible Director (x) which is then
outstanding, vested and exercisable on the date of termination may be exercised
by the Eligible Director or, if applicable, his beneficiary for a period of
90 days

13

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

 

following the date of the Eligible Director’s termination of service, but in no
event later than the expiration date of the term of the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, and (y) which is not vested and exercisable on the date of
termination, shall be canceled, in full, on the date of such termination; or
     (ii) if such Eligible Director has completed more than three (3) Years of
Board Service as of the date of such termination, any Option or Stock
Appreciation Right granted to such Eligible Director (x) which is then
outstanding, vested and exercisable on the date of termination may be exercised
by the Eligible Director or, if applicable, his beneficiary until the third
anniversary of the date of the Eligible Director’s termination of service, but
in no event later than the expiration date of the term of the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, and (y) which is then outstanding but not vested and
exercisable on the date of termination, shall thereafter vest in accordance with
the vesting schedule set forth in the Award Agreement for a period of three
years following the date of the Eligible Director’s termination of service and
become exercisable by the Eligible Director or, if applicable, his beneficiary
and, once exercisable, will remain exercisable for a period of three years
following the date of the Eligible Director’s termination of service, but in no
event later than the expiration date of the term of the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right.
     The vesting and settlement of all other Awards under this Plan shall be set
forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
Section 12. Change in Control
     12.1 Accelerated Vesting and Payment. Subject to the provisions of
Section 12.2 below, in the event of a Change in Control, (i) each Option and
Stock Appreciation Right shall promptly be canceled in exchange for a payment in
cash of an amount equal to the excess of the Change in Control Price over the
exercise price for such Option or the base price for such Stock Appreciation
Right, whichever is applicable, (ii) the Restriction Period applicable to all
Restricted Stock shall expire and all shares shall become nonforfeitable and
immediately transferable, and (iii) the shares of Common Stock with respect to
Deferred Stock Units and Restricted Stock units shall become immediately
payable.
     12.2 Alternative Awards. Notwithstanding Section 12.1, no cancellation,
acceleration of exercisability, vesting, cash settlement or other payment shall
occur with respect to any Award, other than a Section 409A Incentive Award, if
the Board reasonably determines in good faith prior to the occurrence of a
Change in Control that such Award or class of Awards shall be honored or
assumed, or new rights substituted therefore (such honored, assumed or
substituted award hereinafter called an “Alternative Award”) by the acquiring
entity (or the parent or a subsidiary of such entity) immediately following the
Change in Control, provided that any such Alternative Award must:
          (a) be based on stock which is traded on an established securities
market, or which will be so traded within 60 days following the Change in
Control;

14

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

 

          (b) provide such Eligible Director with rights and entitlements
substantially equivalent to or better than the rights and entitlements
applicable under such Award, including, but not limited to, an identical or
better exercise or vesting schedule and identical or better timing and methods
of payment;
          (c) have substantially equivalent economic value to such Award
(determined by the Board as constituted immediately prior to the Change in
Control, in it’s sole discretion, promptly after the Change in Control); and
          (d) satisfy the requirements of Section 1.409A-1(b)(v)(D) of the
Treasury Regulations.
Section 13. Amendment and Modification of Plan
     The Board may at any time terminate or suspend the Plan, and from time to
time may amend or modify the Plan, provided, however, that any amendment which
would (i) increase the number of shares available for issuance, (ii) lower the
minimum exercise price for Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or
(iii) materially modify the requirements for eligibility to participate in the
Plan, shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders. No action
of the Board may, without the consent of an Eligible Director, alter or impair
such Eligible Director’s rights under any previously granted Award.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement to the
contrary, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the
consent of an Eligible Director or approval of the Company’s stockholders, amend
the Plan or any outstanding Award Agreement, to take effect retroactively or
otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the
Plan or such Award Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule
applicable to the Plan, including, but not limited to, Section 409 of the Code
and all applicable guidance promulgated thereunder.
Section 14. Non-Exclusivity
     Neither the adoption of this Plan by the Board nor the submission of this
Plan to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as
creating any limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such other
compensatory arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without
limitation, payments of cash amounts related to the tax liabilities arising
directly or indirectly from the issuance of Shares with respect to an Eligible
Director hereunder.
Section 15. General Provisions
     15.1 Nontransferability of Awards. Unless the Board or the Company’s Vice
President, Human Resources and Vice President and General Counsel shall permit
an Award to be transferred by an Eligible Director to an Eligible Director’s
family member for estate planning purposes or to a trust, partnership,
corporation or other entity established by the Eligible Director for estate
planning purposes, on such terms and conditions as the Board or such officers
may specify, no Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged,
assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to any Award granted
to an Eligible Director under the Plan shall be exercisable by the transferee
only for as long as they could have been exercisable by

15

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

 

such Eligible Director. If any Award is transferred to a family member, trust,
partnership, corporation or other entity as contemplated by the first sentence
hereof, all references herein and in the applicable Award Agreement to the
Eligible Director shall be deemed to refer to such permitted transferee, other
than any such references with respect to the personal status of the Eligible
Director.
     15.2 No Right to Serve as a Director. This Plan shall not impose any
obligations on the Company to retain any Eligible Director as a director nor
shall it impose any obligation on the part of any Eligible Director to remain as
a director of the Company.
     15.3 No Right to Particular Assets. Nothing contained in this Plan and no
action taken pursuant to this Plan shall create or be construed to create a
trust of any kind or any fiduciary relationship between the Company and any
Eligible Director, the executor, administrator or other personal representative
or designated beneficiary of such Eligible Director, or any other persons. Any
reserves that may be established by the Company in connection with this Plan
shall continue to be held as part of the general funds of the Company, and no
individual or entity other than the Company shall have any interest in such
funds until paid to an Eligible Director or his beneficiary. To the extent that
any Eligible Director or his executor, administrator or other personal
representative, as the case may be, acquires a right to receive any payment from
the Company pursuant to this Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right
of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.
     15.4 Beneficiary Designation. Each Eligible Director under the Plan may
from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named
contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid
or by whom any right under the Plan is to be exercised in case of his death.
Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Eligible
Director, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective
only when filed by the Eligible Director in writing with the Company during his
lifetime. In the absence of any such designation, benefits remaining unpaid or
Awards outstanding at the Eligible Director’s death shall be paid to or
exercised by the Eligible Director’s surviving spouse, if any, or otherwise to
or by his estate.
     15.5 Notices. Each Eligible Director shall be responsible for furnishing
the Board with the current and proper address for the mailing of notices and
delivery of agreements and Shares. Any notices required or permitted to be given
shall be deemed given if directed to the person to whom addressed at such
address and mailed by regular United States mail, first-class and prepaid, or by
any recognized international equivalent, if any item mailed to such address is
returned as undeliverable to the addressee, mailing will be suspended until the
Eligible Director furnishes the proper address.
     15.6 Severability of Provisions. If any provision of this Plan shall be
held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provisions hereof, and this Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if such provision had not been included.
     15.7 Incapacity. Any benefit payable to or for the benefit of a minor, an
incompetent person or other person incapable of receiving such benefit shall be
deemed paid when paid to such person’s guardian or to the party providing or
reasonably appearing to provide for the care

16

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

 

of such person, and such payment shall fully discharge the Board, the Company
and other parties with respect thereto.
     15.8 Headings and Captions. The headings and captions herein are provided
for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of this Plan
and shall not be employed in the construction of this Plan.
     15.9 Requirements of Law. The granting of Awards and the issuance of shares
of Common Stock shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations,
and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities
exchanges as may be appropriate or required, as determined by the Board.
     15.10 Governing Law. The Plan, and all Award Agreements hereunder, shall be
construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without
regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
     15.11 Securities Law Compliance. Instruments evidencing Awards may contain
such other provisions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Board deems
advisable, including a requirement that the Eligible Director represent to the
Company in writing, when an Award is granted or when he receives shares with
respect to such Award (or at such other times as the Board deems appropriate)
that he is accepting such Award, or receiving or acquiring such Shares (unless
they are then covered by a Securities Act of 1933 registration statement), for
his own account for investment only and with no present intention to transfer,
sell or otherwise dispose of such Shares except such disposition by a legal
representative as shall be required by will or the laws of any jurisdiction in
winding up the estate of the Eligible Director or pursuant to a transfer
permitted by Section 15.1. Such Shares shall be transferable only if the
proposed transfer shall be permissible pursuant to the Plan and if, in the
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, such transfer at such time will
be in compliance with applicable securities laws.
     15.12 Code Section 409A Compliance. The Company intends the Plan and any
Award Agreement to comply with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder, and the Plan and any Award Agreement shall
be administered in accordance with such intent.
