members of the Committee present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, or
acts reduced to or approved in writing by a majority of the members of the
Committee, shall be the valid acts of the Committee.     (c)   Powers of the
Committee.         The Committee shall have the authority to administer the Plan
in its sole discretion. To this end, the Committee is authorized to construe and
interpret the Plan, to promulgate, amend and rescind Rules relating to the

Employees who shall be granted Awards, the number of Shares or Share equivalents

Awards, other terms and conditions of Awards and the disposition of Awards in

4.   DURATION OF THE PLAN AND SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

  (a)   Duration of the Plan.         The Plan shall terminate on January 27,
2014, unless sooner terminated by the Board.     (b)   Shares Subject to the
Plan.         Subject to stockholder approval of this amended and restated Plan,
on and after April 28, 2004, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued
under the Plan shall be eighty million (80,000,000) Shares; provided, however,
that the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan subject to
Full Value Awards shall be thirty-two million (32,000,000) Shares. The
limitations set forth in this Section 4(b) shall be subject to adjustment as
provided in Section 10.         Prior to April 28, 2004, the maximum number of
Shares for which Awards may be granted shall be as set forth in the Plan prior
to this amendment and restatement.     (c)   Accounting for Number of Shares.  
      Shares covered by an Award shall only be counted against the limit set
forth in Section 4(b) as used to the extent that such Shares are actually
issued. Any Shares related to Awards which terminate by expiration, forfeiture,
cancellation or otherwise without the issuance of such Shares, are settled in
cash in lieu of Shares, or are exchanged, with the Committee’s permission, prior
to the issuance of Shares, for Awards not involving Shares, shall be available
again for grant under the Plan. Moreover, if the exercise price of any Stock
Option granted under the Plan or the tax withholding requirements with respect
to any Award under the Plan are satisfied by tendering Shares to the Corporation
(either by attestation or actual delivery) or if a stock appreciation right is
exercised, only the number of Shares issued, net of the Shares tendered, if any,
shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of
Shares available for issuance under the Plan. The maximum number of Shares
available for issuance under the Plan under Section 4(b) shall not be reduced to
reflect any dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested into
additional Shares or credited with respect to any Award outstanding under the
Plan.     (d)   Source of Stock Issued Under the Plan.         Common Stock
issued under the Plan may be either authorized and unissued Shares or issued
Shares that have been reacquired by the Corporation, as determined in the sole
discretion of the Committee. No fractional Shares of Common Stock shall be
issued under the Plan.

5.   PERSONS ELIGIBLE FOR AWARDS; LIMITS ON INDIVIDUAL AWARDS.       Persons
eligible for Awards under the Plan shall consist of Employees (including
officers, whether or not they are directors). A Participant may receive more
than one Award, including Awards of the same type, subject to the restrictions
of the Plan.       The following limits shall apply to grants of Awards under
the Plan:

  (a)   Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and Other
Share-Based Awards: The aggregate number of Shares that may be granted in the
form of Stock Options, stock appreciation rights, Restricted Stock and Other
Share-Based Awards in any one calendar year to any Participant shall not exceed
two million (2,000,000) Shares. This limitation shall be subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 10.     (b)   Nonstock Awards: The value of all Nonstock
Awards granted in any single calendar year to any Participant shall not exceed
$4,000,000. For this purpose, the value of a Nonstock Award shall be determined
on the date of grant without regard to any conditions imposed on the Nonstock
Award.

6.   STOCK OPTIONS.       All Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be in
the form of nonstatutory stock options, that is options that are not incentive
stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. All Stock Options
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such
additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the express provisions of
the Plan, as the Committee in its sole discretion shall deem desirable.

  (a)   Awards of Stock Options.         Subject to the terms of the Plan, the
Committee shall have complete authority in its sole discretion to determine the
persons to whom and the time or times at which grants of Stock Options shall be
made. The terms of each Stock Option shall be set forth in a Stock Option
Agreement, which shall contain such provisions not inconsistent with the terms
of the Plan, including, without limitation, restrictions upon the exercise of
the Stock Option or restrictions on the transferability of Shares issued upon
the exercise of a Stock Option, as the Committee shall deem advisable in its
sole discretion. Stock Options may be granted alone, in addition to, or in
tandem with other Awards under the Plan.     (b)   Number of Shares.        
Each Stock Option shall state the number of Shares to which it pertains and
shall provide for the adjustment thereof in accordance with the provisions of
Section 10. No fractional Shares shall be issued pursuant to the exercise of a
Stock Option.

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

 

  (c)   Exercise Price.         Each Stock Option shall state the price per
Share, determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, at which the Stock
Option may be exercised; provided, however, that the exercise price shall not be
less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.     (d)
  Method of Payment.         A Stock Option may be exercised, in whole or in
part, by giving notice of exercise in the manner prescribed by the Corporation
specifying the number of Shares to be purchased. Such notice shall be
accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price in cash or, if acceptable
to the Committee in its sole discretion, and in accordance with its Rules,
(i) in Shares already owned by the Participant (including, without limitation,
by attestation to the ownership of such Shares), (ii) by the withholding and
surrender of the Shares subject to the Stock Option, or (iii) by delivery (on a
form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities
broker approved by the Committee to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of
the sales proceeds to the Corporation in payment of all or part of the purchase
price and any withholding taxes. Payment may also be made in any other form
approved by the Committee, consistent with applicable law, regulations and
rules.     (e)   Term and Exercise of Stock Options; Nontransferability of Stock
Options.         Each Stock Option shall state the time or times when it becomes
exercisable and the time or times when any stock appreciation right granted with
it may be exercised, which shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion subject to the following provisions and to the Rules, as applicable.
No Stock Option shall be exercisable before the completion of a specified period
(as determined under the Rules) of continued employment with the Corporation or
a Subsidiary from the date the Stock Option is granted (except in the case of
death or Disability). No Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten
(10) years from the date it is granted. Except as otherwise provided in the
Rules or in a Stock Option Agreement, during the lifetime of the Optionee, the
Stock Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be
assignable or transferable. In the event of the Optionee’s death, any Stock
Option shall be transferred to the beneficiary designated by the Optionee for
this purpose pursuant to procedures adopted by the Committee.     (f)  
Termination of Employment.         Each Stock Option Agreement shall set forth
the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Stock
Option following termination of the Optionee’s employment with the Corporation
and its Subsidiaries and affiliates. Such provisions shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Committee, need

7

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

 

      not be uniform among all Stock Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and
may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment.    
(g)   Rights as a Stockholder.         An Optionee or a transferee of an
Optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares
covered by his or her Stock Option until the earlier of the date such interest
is recorded as a book entry on the records of the Corporation or the date of
issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other
property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to
the earlier of the date such interest is recorded as a book entry in the records
of the Corporation or the date such stock certificate is issued, except as
provided in Section 10.     (h)   Stock Appreciation Rights.         In
connection with the grant of any Stock Option pursuant to the Plan, the
Committee, in its sole discretion, may also grant a stock appreciation right
pursuant to which the Optionee shall have the right to surrender all or part of
the unexercised portion of such Stock Option, exercise the stock appreciation
right, and thereby obtain payment of an amount equal to (or less than, if the
Committee shall so determine in its sole discretion at the time of grant) the
difference obtained by subtracting the aggregate exercise price of the Shares
subject to the Stock Option (or the portion thereof) so surrendered from the
market price (as determined under the Rules) of such Shares on the date of such
surrender. The exercise of such stock appreciation right shall be subject to
such limitations (including, but not limited to, limitations as to time and
amount) as the Committee shall deem appropriate. The payment of a stock
appreciation right may be made in Shares (determined with reference to its Fair
Market Value on the date of exercise), or in cash, or partly in cash and in
Shares, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. In the event of
the exercise of a stock appreciation right, the underlying Stock Option shall be
deemed to have been exercised for all purposes under the Plan, including
Section 4.

7.   RESTRICTED STOCK.       Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to the
following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, as the
Committee in its sole discretion shall deem desirable.

  (a)   Restricted Stock Awards.         Subject to the provisions of the Plan,
the Committee shall have complete authority in its sole discretion to determine
the persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock
shall be made, the number of Shares of

8

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

 

      Restricted Stock to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the
recipient of Restricted Stock, the time or times within which such Awards may be
subject to forfeiture, and all other terms and conditions of the Awards. For any
Restricted Stock Award, the Corporation shall receive consideration in an amount
at least equal to any amount required to be received by the Corporation under
Delaware law for the valid issuance of fully paid and nonassesable stock. The
Committee may condition the grant of a Restricted Stock Award upon the
attainment of specified performance goals (such as earnings per share, total
shareholder return, return on capital employed, operating margin, operating
expense, or cash flow) or such other factors as the Committee may determine, in
its sole discretion. Restricted Stock Awards may be granted alone, in addition
to or in tandem with other Awards under the Plan.         The terms of each
Restricted Stock Award shall be set forth in a Restricted Stock Agreement
between the Corporation and the Employee, which Restricted Stock Agreement shall
contain such provisions as the Committee determines to be necessary or
appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan with respect to such Award. Each
Participant receiving a Restricted Stock Award shall have his or her interest in
the Restricted Stock recorded as a book entry on the records of the Corporation
or shall be issued a stock certificate in respect of such Shares of Restricted
Stock. Such certificate, if any, shall be registered in the name of such
Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award. The Committee shall
require that any such stock certificates evidencing such Shares be held by the
Corporation until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a
condition of any Restricted Stock Award, the Participant shall have delivered to
the Corporation a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the stock covered
by such Award.     (b)   Restrictions and Conditions.         The Shares of
Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Section 7 shall be subject to the
following terms, conditions and restrictions:

  (i)   Subject to the provisions of Section 14(r) below, the Committee in its
sole discretion shall specify the terms, conditions and restrictions under which
Shares of Restricted Stock shall vest or be forfeited. These terms, conditions
and restrictions must include continued employment with the Corporation or a
Subsidiary for a specified period of time (as determined under the Rules)
following the date of grant except in the case of death or Disability, and may
include termination of the Employee’s employment for specified reasons such as
death or Disability prior to the completion of the specified period, or the
attainment of certain performance objectives. The period of time commencing with
the date of such Award and ending on the date on which all Shares of Restricted
Stock in such Award either vest or are forfeited shall be known as the
“Restriction Period”. With respect to the Restricted Stock during the
Restriction Period, the

9

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

 

      Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the lapse of any such
term, condition or restriction in installments and may accelerate or waive such
term, condition or restriction in whole or in part, based on service,
performance, and/or such other factors or criteria as the Committee may
determine in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise provided in the Rules or
in a Restricted Stock Agreement, during the Restriction Period the Participant
shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge, assign or encumber Restricted
Stock awarded under the Plan.     (ii)   Except as provided in this paragraph
(ii) and paragraph (i) above, the Participant shall have, with respect to the
Shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a stockholder of the
Corporation, including the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive any
cash or stock dividends. The Committee, in its sole discretion, as determined at
the time of Award, may provide that the payment of cash dividends shall or may
be deferred. Any deferred cash dividends may be reinvested as the Committee
shall determine in its sole discretion, including reinvestment in additional
Shares of Restricted Stock. Stock dividends issued with respect to Restricted
Stock shall be Restricted Stock and shall be subject to the same terms,
conditions and restrictions that apply to the Shares with respect to which such
dividends are issued. Any additional Shares of Restricted Stock issued with
respect to cash or stock dividends shall not be counted against the maximum
number of Shares for which awards may be granted under the Plan as set forth in
Section 4.     (iii)   If and when the Restriction Period applicable to Shares
of Restricted Stock expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock,
an appropriate book entry recording the Participant’s interest in the
unrestricted Shares shall be entered on the records of the Company or, if
applicable, certificates for an appropriate number of unrestricted Shares shall
be delivered promptly to the Participant, and the certificates for the Shares of
Restricted Stock shall be canceled.

8.   OTHER SHARE-BASED AWARDS.

  (a)   Grants.         Other Share-Based Awards may be granted either alone or
in addition to or in conjunction with other Awards under the Plan. The Committee
may condition the grant of an Other Share-Based Award upon the attainment of
specified performance goals (such as earnings per share, total shareholder
return, return on capital employed, operating margin, operating expense or cash
flow) or such other factors as the Committee may determine, in its sole
discretion. Awards under this Section 8 may include, but are not limited to,
stock units, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights not granted in
connection with the grant of any Stock Option pursuant to Section 6, dividend
equivalents, the grant of Shares

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

 

      conditioned upon some specified event, the ownership for a specified
period of time of Shares obtained through the exercise of a Stock Option or the
lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock, the payment of cash based upon the
performance of the Shares or the grant of securities convertible into Shares.  
      Subject to the provisions of Section 14(r) below relating to restricted
stock units and to other applicable provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall
have sole and complete authority to determine the persons to whom and the time
or times at which Other Share-Based Awards shall be made, the number of Shares
or other securities, if any, to be granted pursuant to Other Share-Based Awards,
and all other conditions of the Other Share-Based Awards, including, without
limitation, whether stock appreciation rights not granted in connection with the
grant of any Stock Option shall be settled in cash or in Shares. In making an
Other Share-Based Award, the Committee may determine that the recipient of an
Other Share-Based Award shall be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred
basis, interest or dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the Shares
or other securities covered by the Award, and the Committee may provide that
such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional
Shares or otherwise reinvested. The terms of any Other Share-Based Award shall
be set forth in an Other Share-Based Award Agreement between the Corporation and
the Employee, which Other Share-Based Award Agreement shall contain such
provisions as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to carry
out the intent of the Plan with respect to such Award.     (b)   Terms and
Conditions.         In addition to the terms and conditions specified in the
Other Share-Based Award Agreement, Other Share-Based Awards made pursuant to
this Section 8 shall be subject to the following:

  (i)   Except as otherwise provided in the Rules or in an Other Share-Based
Award Agreement, any Other Share-Based Award may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which the
Shares are issued or the Award becomes payable, or, if later, the date on which
any applicable restriction, performance or deferral period lapses.     (ii)  
The Other Share-Based Award Agreement shall contain provisions dealing with the
disposition of such Award in the event of a termination of the Employee’s
employment prior to the exercise, realization or payment of such Award.

11

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

 

9.   NONSTOCK AWARDS.

  (a)   Grants.         Nonstock Awards may be granted either alone or in
addition to or in conjunction with other Awards under the Plan. Awards under
this Section 9 may take any form that the Committee in its sole discretion shall
determine.         Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall
have sole and complete authority to determine the persons to whom and the time
or times at which Nonstock Awards shall be made, the amount of any Nonstock
Award and all other conditions of the Nonstock Awards. The Committee may
condition the grant of a Nonstock Award upon the attainment of specified
performance goals (such as earnings per share, total shareholder return, return
on capital employed, operating margin, operating expense or cash flow) or such
other factors as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion. The terms
of any Nonstock Award shall be set forth in Nonstock Award Agreement between the
Corporation and the Employee, which Nonstock Award Agreement shall contain such
provisions as the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to carry
out the intent of the Plan with respect to such Award.     (b)   Terms and
Conditions.         In addition to the terms and conditions specified in the
Nonstock Award Agreement, Nonstock Awards made pursuant to this Section 9 shall
be subject to the following:

  (i)   Except as otherwise provided in the Rules or in a Nonstock Award
Agreement, any Nonstock Award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise encumbered prior to the date on which the Award becomes payable, or,
if later, the date on which the requirements of any applicable restriction,
condition, performance goal or deferral period is met or lapses.     (ii)   The
Nonstock Award Agreement shall contain provisions dealing with the disposition
of such Award in the event of a termination of the Employee’s employment prior
to the exercise, realization or payment of such Award.

10.   RECAPITALIZATION.       Subject to any required action by the
stockholders, the number of Shares covered by the Plan as provided in Section 4,
the maximum number of Shares that may be granted to any one individual in any
calendar year as provided in Section 5, the number of Shares covered by or
referred to in each outstanding Award (other than an Award of Restricted Stock
that is outstanding at the time of the event described in this paragraph), and
the Exercise Price of each outstanding Stock Option and any price required to be
paid for

12

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

 

    Restricted Stock not yet outstanding at the time of the event described in
this paragraph or Other Share-Based Award shall be proportionately adjusted for:
(a) any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a
subdivision or consolidation of Shares, (b) the payment of a stock dividend (but
only of Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of such
Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation, or (c) the
declaration of a dividend payable in cash that has a material effect on the
price of issued Shares.       Subject to any required action by the
stockholders, if the Corporation is the surviving corporation in any merger,
consolidation or other reorganization, each outstanding Award (other than an
Award of Restricted Stock that is outstanding at such time) shall pertain and
apply to the securities to which a holder of the number of Shares subject to the
Award would have been entitled. In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of
the corporation or a merger, consolidation or other reorganization in which the
Corporation is not the surviving corporation, each outstanding Stock Option,
each unvested Restricted Stock Award or Other Share-Based Award and each
Nonstock Award shall be assumed by the surviving corporation and each Stock
Option, unvested Restricted Stock Award and Other Share-Based Award shall
pertain to a comparable number of shares in the surviving corporation, unless
the terms of the agreement of merger, consolidation or reorganization call for
the full vesting and cash out of such Awards.       In the event of a change in
the Common Stock, which is limited to a change of all of the Corporation’s
authorized shares with par value into the same number of shares with a different
par value or without par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall
be deemed to be the Common Stock within the meaning of the Plan.       The
Committee may make appropriate adjustments in the number of Shares covered by
the Plan and the price or other value of any outstanding Awards in the event of
a spin-off or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of
Corporation assets to stockholders.       To the extent that the foregoing
adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Corporation, such adjustments
shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion, and its determination in
that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.       Except as expressly
provided in this Section 10, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any
subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class or the payment of
any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of
stock of any class or by reason of any dissolution, liquidation, merger or
consolidation or spin-off of assets or stock of another corporation, and any
issuance by the Corporation of shares of stock of any class or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price
of Shares subject to the Stock Option.       The grant of an Award pursuant to
the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation to
make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of

13

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

 

    its capital or business structure or to merge or consolidate or to dissolve,
liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.       The
Committee shall prescribe rules governing the adjustment of the number of shares
covered by the Plan as provided in Section 4 and of Awards outstanding under the
Plan in the event that the preferred stock purchase rights issued pursuant to
the Corporation’s stockholder rights plan or any successor rights plan detach
from the Common Stock and become exercisable.

11.   FORFEITURE.       Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the
contrary, if a Participant engages in Misconduct the Committee (or its delegate)
may:

  (a)   Rescind the exercise of any Stock Option granted on or after June 29,
2005 and exercised on or after the date the Participant’s Misconduct occurred
and cancel all Awards granted on or after June 29, 2005 and outstanding on the
date of discovery of the Participant’s Misconduct; and     (b)   Demand that the
Participant repay any cash distributed to the Participant in respect of any
Award granted on or after June 29, 2005 or pay over to the Corporation the
proceeds (less the Participant’s purchase price, if any) received by the
Participant upon the sale, transfer or other transaction involving the Shares
acquired upon the exercise of any Stock Option granted on or after June 29, 2005
and exercised on or after the date the Participant’s Misconduct occurred or upon
the vesting of any Award granted on or after June 29, 2005 and vested after the
date of the Participant’s Misconduct, in such manner and on such terms and
conditions as may be required, and, without limiting any other remedy the
Corporation or its affiliates may have, the Corporation shall be entitled to
set-off against the amount of any such proceeds any amount owed the Participant
by the Corporation or its affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by law.    
(c)   For this purpose, “Misconduct” means that:

  (i)   the Corporation has been required to prepare an accounting restatement
due to material noncompliance, as a result of misconduct, with any financial
reporting requirement under the securities laws, and the Committee (or its
delegate) has determined in its sole discretion that a Participant (i) had
knowledge of the material noncompliance or the circumstances that gave rise to
such noncompliance and failed to take reasonable steps to bring it to the
attention of appropriate individuals within the Corporation or (ii) personally
and knowingly engaged in practices which materially contributed to the
circumstances that enabled a material noncompliance to occur; or

14

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

 

  (ii)   a Participant discloses to others, or takes or uses for his or her own
purpose or the purpose of others, any trade secrets, confidential information,
knowledge, data or know-how or any other proprietary information or intellectual
property belonging to the Corporation and obtained by the Participant during the
term of his or her employment, whether or not they are the Participant’s work
product. Examples of such confidential information or trade secrets include,
without limitation, customer lists, supplier lists, pricing and cost data,
computer programs, delivery routes, advertising plans, wage and salary data,
financial information, research and development plans, processes, equipment,
product information and all other types and categories of information as to
which the Participant knows or has reason to know that the Corporation intends
or expects secrecy to be maintained; or     (iii)   a Participant fails to
promptly return all documents and other tangible items belonging to the
Corporation in the Participant’s possession or control, including all complete
or partial copies, recordings, abstracts, notes or reproductions of any kind
made from or about such documents or information contained therein, upon
termination of employment, whether pursuant to retirement or otherwise; or    
(iv)   a Participant directly or indirectly engages in, becomes employed by, or
renders services, advice or assistance to any business in competition with the
Corporation at any time during the twelve months following termination of
employment with the Corporation. As used herein, “business in competition” means
any person, organization or enterprise which is engaged in or is about to become
engaged in any line of business engaged in by the Corporation at the time of the
termination of the Participant’s employment with the Corporation; or     (v)   a
Participant fails to inform any new employer, before accepting employment, of
the terms of this section and of the Participant’s continuing obligation to
maintain the confidentiality of the trade secrets and other confidential
information belonging to the Corporation and obtained by the Participant during
the term of his or her employment with the Corporation; or     (vi)   a
Participant induces or attempts to induce, directly or indirectly, any of the
Corporation’s customers, employees, representatives or consultants to terminate,
discontinue or cease working with or for the Corporation, or to breach any
contract with the Corporation, in order to work with or for, or enter into a
contract with, the Participant or any third party; or     (vii)   a Participant
engages in conduct which is not in good faith and which disrupts, damages,
impairs or interferes with the business, reputation or employees of the
Corporation; or

15

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

 

  (viii)   a Participant committed an act of embezzlement, fraud or theft with
respect to the property of the Corporation.

    The Committee shall determine in its sole discretion whether the Participant
has engaged in any of the acts set forth in subsections (i) through
(viii) above, and its determination shall be conclusive and binding on all
interested persons.       Any provision of this Section 11 which is determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable should be
construed or limited in a manner that is valid and enforceable and that comes
closest to the business objectives intended by such invalid or unenforceable
provision, without invalidating or rendering unenforceable the remaining
provisions of this Section 11.   12.   SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.       No
Shares shall be issued and no Stock Options shall become exercisable pursuant to
the Plan unless and until the Corporation has determined that: (i) it and the
Participant have taken all actions required to register the Shares under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or perfect an exemption from the
registration requirements thereof; (ii) any applicable listing requirement of
any stock exchange on which the Common Stock is listed has been satisfied; and
(iii) any other applicable provision of state or federal law has been satisfied.
  13.   AMENDMENTS OF THE PLAN AND AWARDS.

  (a)   Plan Amendments.         The Board may, insofar as permitted by law,
from time to time, with respect to any Shares at the time not subject to Awards,
suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever.
However, unless the Board specifically otherwise provides, any revision or
amendment that would cause the Plan to fail to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any
other requirement of applicable law or regulation if such amendment were not
approved by the holders of the Common Stock of the Corporation shall not be
effective unless and until the approval of the holders of Common Stock of the
Corporation is obtained. The foregoing notwithstanding, no amendment, revision,
suspension or discontinuation of the Plan (including any amendment to this
Section 13) approved by the Board after six months prior to the public
announcement of the proposed transaction which, when effected, is a Change in
Control or before the date which is two years after the date of a Change in
Control (the “Benefit Protection Period”) shall be valid or effective if such
amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation would alter the provisions of
this Section 13 or adversely affect an Award outstanding under the Plan;
provided, however, any amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation may be
effected, even if so approved after such a public announcement, if (a) the
amendment or revision is approved after any plans have been abandoned to effect
the transaction which, if

16

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

 

      effected, would have constituted a Change in Control and the event which
would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred, and (b) within a
period of six months after such approval, no other event constituting a Change
in Control shall have occurred, and no public announcement of a proposed event
which would constitute a Change in Control shall have been made, unless
thereafter any plans to effect the Change in Control have been abandoned and the
event which would have constituted the Change in Control has not occurred. Any
amendment, revision, suspension or discontinuation of the Plan which is approved
by the Board prior to a Change in Control at the request of a third party who
effectuates a Change in Control shall be deemed to be an amendment, revision,
suspension or discontinuation of the Plan so approved during the Benefit
Protection Period.     (b)   Amendments of Awards.         Subject to the terms
and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may amend,
cancel, modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards granted under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Stock Option or, as applicable, any other
Award shall be repriced under this Plan.     (c)   Rights of Participant.      
  No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan nor any amendment,
cancellation or modification of any Award outstanding under it that would
adversely affect the right of any Participant in an Award previously granted
under the Plan shall be effective without the written consent of the affected
Participant.

14.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.

  (a)   Application of Funds.         The proceeds received by the Corporation
from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option or the
grant of Restricted Stock shall be used for general corporate purposes.     (b)
  Employment Rights.         Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the
Plan shall be deemed to give any individual a right to remain employed by the
Corporation or a Subsidiary. The Corporation and its Subsidiaries reserve the
right to terminate the employment of any Employee at any time and for any
reason, which right is hereby reserved.     (c)   Stockholders’ Rights.        
A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a
stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the
earlier of the date such interest is recorded as a book entry on the records of
the

17

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

 

      Corporation or the date of issuance of a stock certificate for such
Shares. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which
the record date is prior to the date when such certificate is issued or such
interest recorded.     (d)   Creditors’ Rights.         A holder of an Other
Share-Based Award or a Nonstock Award shall have no rights other than those of a
general creditor of the Corporation. Other Share-Based Awards and Nonstock
Awards shall represent unfunded and unsecured obligations of the Corporation,
subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Other Share-Based Award
Agreement and of the Nonstock Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Committee is authorized to arrange for the creation of one or more trusts to
fund payments of Other Share-Based Awards or Nonstock Awards payable or to
become payable under the Plan. In such case the rights of affected Participants
shall be determined with reference to the terms of the applicable trust
agreement pursuant to which the trust was created.     (e)   No Obligation to
Exercise Stock Option.         The granting of a Stock Option shall impose no
obligation upon the Optionee to exercise such Stock Option.     (f)   Deferral
Elections.         The Committee may permit or require a Participant to elect to
defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would
otherwise be due to such Participant by virtue of the exercise, the satisfaction
of any requirements or goals or lapse of restrictions of an Award made under the
Plan. Any such payment deferrals shall be governed by the terms of the Chevron
Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan for Management Employees.     (g)  
Withholding Taxes.

  (i)   General.         To the extent required by applicable federal, state,
local or foreign law, the recipient of any payment or distribution under the
Plan shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Corporation for the
satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise by reason of such
payment or distribution. The Corporation shall not be required to make such
payment or distribution until such obligations are satisfied.     (ii)   Stock
Withholding.         The Committee in its sole discretion may permit a
Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding tax obligations
incident to the exercise of

18

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

 

      a Stock Option or the vesting of Restricted Stock by having the
Corporation withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued to
him or her. The payment of withholding taxes by surrendering Shares to the
Corporation, if permitted by the Committee, shall be subject to such
restrictions as the Committee may impose, including any restrictions required by
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  (h)   Other Corporation Benefit and Compensation Programs.         Payments
and other benefits received by a Participant under the Plan shall not be deemed
a part of a Participant’s regular, recurring compensation for purposes of the
termination indemnity or severance pay law of any country, state or political
subdivision thereof and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the
determination of benefits under any other employee benefit plan or similar
arrangement provided by the Corporation or a Subsidiary unless expressly so
provided by such other plan or arrangement, or except where the Committee
expressly determines that inclusion of an Award or portion of an Award is
necessary to accurately reflect competitive compensation practices or to
recognize that an Award has been made in lieu of a portion of competitive annual
cash compensation. Awards under the Plan may be made in combination with or in
tandem with, or as alternatives to, grants, awards or payments under any
Corporation or Subsidiary plans. The Plan notwithstanding, the Corporation or
any Subsidiary may adopt such other compensation programs and additional
compensation arrangements as it deems necessary to attract, retain and reward
Employees for their service with the Corporation and its Subsidiaries.     (i)  
Costs of the Plan.         The costs and expenses of administering the Plan
shall be borne by the Corporation.     (j)   Participant’s Beneficiary.        
The Rules may provide that in the case of an Award that is not forfeitable by
its terms upon the death of the Participant, the Participant may designate a
beneficiary with respect to such Award in the event of death of a Participant.
If such beneficiary is the executor or administrator of the estate of the
Participant, any rights with respect to such Award may be transferred to the
person or persons or entity (including a trust, if permitted under rules or
procedures approved by the Committee) entitled thereto by bequest of or
inheritance from the holder of such Award.     (k)   Awards in Foreign
Countries.         The Committee shall have the authority to adopt such
modifications, procedures and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to
comply with provisions of the

19

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

 

      laws of foreign countries in which the Corporation or its Subsidiaries may
operate to assure the viability of the benefits of Awards made to Participants
employed in such countries and to meet the intent of the Plan.     (l)  
Severability.         The provisions of the Plan shall be deemed severable and
the validity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the other provisions hereof.     (m)   Binding Effect of
Plan.         The Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
the Corporation, its successors and assigns and the Corporation shall require
any successor or assign to expressly assume and agree to perform the Plan in the
same manner and to the same extent that the Corporation would be required to
perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place. The term “the
Corporation” as used herein shall include such successors and assigns. The term
“successors and assigns” as used herein shall mean a corporation or other entity
acquiring all or substantially all the assets and business of the Corporation
(including the Plan) whether by operation of law or otherwise.     (n)   No
Waiver of Breach.         No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any
breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or
provision of the Plan to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a
waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions of conditions at the same or at any
prior or subsequent time.     (o)   Authority to Establish Grantor Trust.      
  The Committee is authorized in its sole discretion to establish a grantor
trust for the purpose of providing security for the payment of Awards under the
Plan; provided, however, that no Participant shall be considered to have a
beneficial ownership interest (or any other sort of interest) in any specific
asset of the Corporation or of its subsidiaries or affiliates as a result of the
creation of such trust or the transfer of funds or other property to such trust.
    (p)   Authority to Satisfy Obligations         The Committee shall have the
authority to grant Awards as an alternative to or as the form of payment for
grants or rights earned or due under other compensation plans or arrangements of
the Corporation, including, without limitation, any plans or arrangements of any
employer acquired by the Corporation.

20

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

 

  (q)   Choice of Law         The law of the State of California shall govern
all questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this
Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of laws rules.     (r)   Vesting
Requirements for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units        
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, except with
respect to a maximum of five percent (5%) of the Shares authorized for issuance
under Section 4(b), any Awards of Restricted Stock or restricted stock units
which vest on the basis of the Participant’s continued employment with the
Corporation or a Subsidiary or affiliate shall not provide for vesting which is
any more rapid that annual pro rata vesting over a three (3) year period and any
Awards of Restricted Stock or restricted stock units which vest upon the
attainment of performance goals shall provide for a performance period of at
least twelve (12) months.

15.   APPROVAL OF STOCKHOLDERS.       Material amendments to the Plan shall be
subject to approval by affirmative vote of the stockholders of the Corporation
in accordance with applicable law and the listing requirements of the New York
Stock Exchange.
