(a)                                  Subject to Article 11 hereof and
Section 3.1(b) hereof, the aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be
issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan is 4,500,000.  In
addition to the foregoing, subject to Article 11 hereof, commencing on July 1,
2008 and on the first day of each fiscal year of the Company thereafter during
the term of the Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be
issued or transferred pursuant to Awards under the Plan shall be increased by
that number of shares of Stock equal to the least of (i) three percent (3%) of
the Company’s outstanding shares on such date, (ii) 1,500,000 shares, or (iii) a

(b)                                 To the extent that an Award terminates,
expires, or lapses for any reason, any shares of Stock subject to the Award
shall again be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan.  To the
extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, shares of Stock issued
in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity
acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any Subsidiary shall not
be counted against shares of Stock available for grant pursuant to this Plan. 
To the extent that a SAR is exercised for or settled in Stock, only the actual

issuance under the Plan as set forth in Section 3.1(a).  To the extent that a

payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding
Awards shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the
Plan.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.1(b), no shares of Stock

Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under
Section 422 of the Code.

such period of time as may be required by the Committee in order to avoid
adverse accounting consequences and having a fair market value on the date of
delivery equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Option or exercised
portion thereof, or (iii) other property acceptable to the Committee (including
through the delivery of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell
order with a broker with respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise
of the Option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion
of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option
exercise price; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the
Company upon settlement of such sale), and the methods by which shares of Stock

the Participant’s Disability or death, any Incentive Stock Options exercisable
at the Participant’s Disability or death may be exercised by the Participant’s
legal representative or representatives, by the person or persons entitled to do
so pursuant to the Participant’s last will and testament, or, if the Participant

Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a
Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such other
limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor
provision.  To the extent that Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by
a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered
Non-Qualified Stock Options.

 

(c)                                  Ten Percent Owners.  An Incentive Stock
Option may not be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns
stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all
classes of Stock of the Company unless such Option is granted at a price that is
not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is
exercisable for no more than five years from the date of grant.

 

(d)                                 Notice of Disposition.  The Participant
shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares of Stock
acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within (i) two years from the
date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one year after the transfer
of such shares of Stock to the Participant.

Restricted Stock Award Agreement that restrictions or forfeiture conditions
relating to Restricted Stock will lapse in whole or in part in the event of
terminations resulting from specified causes, and (b) provide in other cases for
the lapse in whole or in part of restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating
to Restricted Stock.

shares of Stock that are subject to any Award, to be credited as of dividend
payment dates, during the period between the date the Award is granted and the
date the Award is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Committee. 
Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of
Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be
determined by the Committee.

time by the Committee; provided, that unless otherwise determined by the

or on any date thereafter.

 

8.5                                 Deferred Stock.  Any Participant selected by

the Committee, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or
periods determined by the Committee.  Stock underlying a Deferred Stock award
will not be issued until the Deferred Stock award has vested, pursuant to a

the Committee and relate to one or more of the Performance Criteria or other
specific performance criteria determined to be appropriate by the Committee, in
each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined

may be a Performance-Based Award and be based upon objectively determinable
bonus formulas established in accordance with Article 9 hereof.

 

8.8                                 Term.  Except as otherwise provided herein,
the term of any Award of  Performance Shares, Performance Stock Units, Dividend
Equivalents, Stock Payments, Deferred Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be

8.9                                 Exercise or Purchase Price.  The Committee
may establish the exercise or purchase price, if any, of any Award of

Service.  An Award of Performance Shares, Performance Stock Units, Dividend
Equivalents, Deferred Stock, Stock Payments and Restricted Stock Units shall
only be exercisable or payable while the Participant is an Employee, Consultant

in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that an Award of Performance
Shares, Performance Stock Units, Dividend Equivalents, Stock Payments, Deferred
Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be exercised or paid subsequent to a
termination of employment or service, as applicable, or following a Change in
Control of the Company, or because of the Participant’s retirement, death or
Disability, or otherwise; provided, however, that any such provision with
respect to Performance Shares or Performance Stock Units shall be subject to the

ARTICLE 9.

PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS

 

9.1                                 Purpose.  The purpose of this Article 9 is
to provide the Committee the ability to qualify Awards other than Options and
SARs and that are granted pursuant to Articles 6 and 8

 

13

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

 

hereof as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation.  If the Committee, in its
discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award to a Covered Employee,
the provisions of this Article 9 shall control over any contrary provision
contained in Articles 6 or 8 hereof; provided, however, that the Committee may
in its discretion grant Awards to Covered Employees that are based on
Performance Criteria or Performance Goals but that do not satisfy the
requirements of this Article 9.

 

9.2                                 Applicability.  This Article 9 shall apply
only to those Covered Employees selected by the Committee to receive
Performance-Based Awards.  The designation of a Covered Employee as a
Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the
Participant to receive an Award for the period.  Moreover, designation of a
Covered Employee as a Participant for a particular Performance Period shall not
require designation of such Covered Employee as a Participant in any subsequent
Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as a Participant
shall not require designation of any other Covered Employees as a Participant in
such period or in any other period.

 

9.3                                 Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based
Awards.  To the extent necessary to comply with the Qualified Performance-Based
Compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to
any Award granted under Articles 6 or 8 hereof which may be granted to one or
more Covered Employees, no later than ninety (90) days following the
commencement of any fiscal year in question or any other designated fiscal
period or period of service (or such other time as may be required or permitted
by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate
one or more Covered Employees, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to
the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts of such
Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period, and
(d) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance
Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each
Covered Employee for such Performance Period.  Following the completion of each
Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether the
applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period.  In
determining the amount earned by a Covered Employee, the Committee shall have
the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a
given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the
Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate
performance for the Performance Period.

 

9.4                                 Payment of Performance-Based Awards.  Unless
otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant must be
employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the day a Performance-Based Award for
such Performance Period is paid to the Participant.  Furthermore, a Participant
shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a
Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved. 
In determining the amount earned under a Performance-Based Award, the Committee
may reduce or eliminate the amount of the Performance-Based Award earned for the
Performance Period, if in its sole and absolute discretion, such reduction or
elimination is appropriate.

 

9.5                                 Additional Limitations.  Notwithstanding any
other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a Covered Employee
and is intended to constitute Qualified

 

14

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

 

Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to any additional limitations
set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to
Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that
are requirements for qualification as qualified performance-based compensation
as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, and the Plan shall be deemed
amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

 

ARTICLE 10.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS

 

10.1                           Stand-Alone and Tandem Awards.  Awards granted
pursuant to the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either
alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted pursuant to
the Plan.  Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be
granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such
other Awards.

 

10.2                           Award Agreement.  Awards under the Plan shall be
evidenced by Award Agreements that set forth the terms, conditions and
limitations for each Award which may include the term of an Award, the
provisions applicable in the event the Participant’s employment or service
terminates, and the Company’s authority to unilaterally or bilaterally amend,
modify, suspend, cancel or rescind an Award.

 

10.3                           Limits on Transfer.  No right or interest of a
Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to or in
favor of any party other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or shall be subject
to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party
other than the Company or a Subsidiary.  Except as otherwise provided by the
Committee, no Award shall be assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed of by
a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  The
Committee by express provision in the Award or an amendment thereto may permit
an Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option) to be transferred to, exercised
by and paid to certain persons or entities related to the Participant, including
but not limited to members of the Participant’s family, charitable institutions,
or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members
of the Participant’s family and/or charitable institutions, or to such other
persons or entities as may be expressly approved by the Committee, pursuant to
such conditions and procedures as the Committee may establish.  Any permitted
transfer shall be subject to the condition that the Committee receive evidence
satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax
planning purposes (or to a “blind trust” in connection with the Participant’s
termination of employment or service with the Company or a Subsidiary to assume
a position with a governmental, charitable, educational or similar non-profit
institution) and on a basis consistent with the Company’s lawful issue of
securities.

 

10.4                           Beneficiaries.  Notwithstanding Section 10.3
hereof, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate
a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any
distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death.  A
beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any
rights

 

15

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

 

pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any
Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and
Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed
necessary or appropriate by the Committee.  If the Participant is married and
resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the
Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of
the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior
written consent of the Participant’s spouse.  If no beneficiary has been
designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the person
entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and
distribution.  Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be
changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or
revocation is filed with the Committee.

 

10.5                           Stock Certificates; Book Entry Procedures.

 

(a)                                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates
evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and
until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and
delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws,
regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of
any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed or traded.  All Stock
certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer
orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to
comply with federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws,
rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or
automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded.  The
Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions
applicable to the Stock.  In addition to the terms and conditions provided
herein, the Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants,
agreements, and representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable
in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The
Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any
timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any
Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion
of the Committee.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable
law, rule or regulation, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant
certificates evidencing shares of Stock issued in connection with any Award and
instead such shares of Stock shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or,
as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

 

10.6                           Paperless Exercise.  In the event that the
Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an
automated system for the exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet
website or interactive voice response, then the paperless exercise of Awards by
a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

 

10.7                           Recoupment.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in the Plan or any Award Agreement, in the event of a
restatement of incorrect financial results, the Board will

 

16

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

 

review the conduct of executive officers in relation to the restatement.  If the
Board determines that an executive officer has engaged in misconduct, or
otherwise violated the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics for Employees,
Agents and Contractors, and that such misconduct or violation contributed to
such restatement, then the Board may, in its discretion, take appropriate action
to remedy the misconduct or violation, including, without limitation, seeking
reimbursement of any portion of any performance-based or incentive compensation
paid or awarded to the employee that is greater than would have been paid or
awarded if calculated based on the restated financial results, to the extent not
prohibited by governing law. For this purpose, the term “executive officer”
means executive offers as defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Any such action by the Board would be in addition to any other actions
the Board of the Company may take under the Company’s policies, as modified from
time to time, or any actions imposed by law enforcement, regulators or other
authorities.  If the Board takes any such action, Participants shall be required
to reimburse the Company such amounts as directed by the Board, in its sole
discretion.

 

ARTICLE 11.

CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

 

11.1                           Adjustments.

 

(a)                                  In the event of any stock dividend, stock
split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, spin-off,
recapitalization or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of
Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of
Stock or the share price of the Stock, the Committee shall make proportionate
adjustments to any or all of the following in order to reflect such change:
(a) the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan
(including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Sections 3.1
and 3.3 hereof); (b) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards
(including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria
with respect thereto); and (c) the grant or exercise price per share for any
outstanding Awards under the Plan.  Any adjustment affecting an Award intended
as Qualified Performance-Based Compensation shall be made consistent with the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

(b)                                 In the event of any transaction or event
described in Section 11.1(a) hereof or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions
or events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or the financial
statements of the Company or any affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws,
regulations or accounting principles, the Committee, in its sole and absolute
discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by
the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such
transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Participant’s request,
is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions in order
to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under
the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such
changes in laws, regulations or principles:

 

17

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

 

(i)                                     To provide for either (A) termination of
any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount
that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of
the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of
the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 11.1 the
Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon
the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, then such
Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement
of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its
sole discretion;

 

(ii)                                  To provide that such Award be assumed by
the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or
shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock
of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof,
with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

 

(iii)                               To make adjustments in the number and type
of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding
Awards, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock or Deferred
Stock and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise
price), and the criteria included in, outstanding options, rights and awards and
options, rights and awards which may be granted in the future;

 

(iv)                              To provide that such Award shall be
exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all shares covered
thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable
Award Agreement; and

 

(v)                                 To provide that the Award cannot vest, be
exercised or become payable after such event.

 

11.2                           Acceleration Upon a Change in Control. 
Notwithstanding Section 11.1 hereof, and except as may otherwise be provided in
any applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement entered into between
the Company and a Participant, if a Change in Control occurs and a Participant’s
Awards are not converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor entity, then
immediately prior to the Change in Control such Awards shall become fully
exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on such Awards shall lapse.  Upon,
or in anticipation of, a Change in Control, the Committee may cause any and all
Awards outstanding hereunder to terminate at a specific time in the future,
including but not limited to the date of such Change in Control, and shall give
each Participant the right to exercise such Awards during a period of time as
the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine.  In the
event that the terms of any agreement between the Company or any Company
subsidiary or affiliate and a Participant contains provisions that conflict with
and are more restrictive than the provisions of this Section 11.2, this
Section 11.2 shall prevail and control and the more restrictive terms of such
agreement (and only such terms) shall be of no force or effect.

 

11.3                           No Other Rights.  Except as expressly provided in
the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the

 

18

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

 

payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of
stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of
the Company or any other corporation.  Except as expressly provided in the Plan
or pursuant to action of the Committee under the Plan, no issuance by the
Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares
of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award or
the grant or exercise price of any Award.

 

ARTICLE 12.

otherwise provided in the charter of the Committee.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing: (a) the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office,

(b) the Committee may delegate its authority hereunder to the extent permitted
by Section 12.5 hereof.  In its sole discretion, the Board may at any time and
from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under
the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 under the
Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules issued
thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the
Committee.  The governance of the Committee shall be subject to the charter of
the Committee as approved by the Board.

restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, and accelerations or waivers
thereof, any provisions related to non-competition and recapture of gain on an

discretion determines; provided, however, that the Committee shall not have the
authority to accelerate the vesting or waive the forfeiture of any
Performance-Based Awards;

 

(e)                                  Determine whether, to what extent, and
pursuant to what circumstances an Award may be settled in, or the exercise price

14.1                           Amendment, Modification, and Termination. 
Subject to Section 15.14 hereof, with the approval of the Board, at any time and
from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend or modify the Plan;
provided, however, that (a) to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with
any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain
stockholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner and to such a degree

Committee to grant Options with an exercise price that is below Fair Market
Value on the date of grant, or (iii) permits the Committee to extend the

Notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, absent approval of
the stockholders of the Company, no Option may be amended to reduce the per
share exercise price of the shares subject to such Option below the per share
exercise price as of the date the Option is granted and, except as permitted by
Article 11 hereof, no Option may be granted in exchange for, or in connection
with, the cancellation or surrender of an Option having a higher per share
exercise price.

 

14.2                           Awards Previously Granted.  Except with respect
to amendments made pursuant to Section 15.14 hereof, no termination, amendment,
or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award
previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the prior written consent of the
Participant.

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

 

ARTICLE 15.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

15.1                           No Rights to Awards.  No Eligible Individual or
other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan,
and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Eligible
Individuals, Participants or any other persons uniformly.

 

15.2                           No Stockholders Rights.  Except as otherwise
provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder
with respect to shares of Stock covered by any Award until the Participant
becomes the record owner of such shares of Stock.

 

15.3                           Withholding.  The Company or any Subsidiary shall
have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant
to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local
and foreign taxes (including the Participant’s employment tax obligations)
required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a
Participant arising as a result of this Plan.  The Committee may in its
discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a Participant
to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable under
an Award (or allow the return of shares of Stock) having a Fair Market Value
equal to the sums required to be withheld.  Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Plan, the number of shares of Stock which may be withheld with respect to
the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be
repurchased from the Participant of such Award within six months (or such other
period as may be determined by the Committee) after such shares of Stock were
acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy the
Participant’s federal, state, local and foreign income and payroll tax
liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the
Award shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on
the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such
liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state,
local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to
such supplemental taxable income.

 

15.4                           No Right to Employment or Services.  Nothing in
the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the
right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment
or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue
in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

15.5                           Unfunded Status of Awards.  The Plan is intended
to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation.  With respect to any
payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained
in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that
are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

15.6                           Indemnification.  To the extent allowable
pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board shall
be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability,
or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in
connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or

 

22

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

 

proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be
involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and
against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of
judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or
she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend
the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own
behalf.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any
other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant
to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, as a matter of law, or
otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them
harmless.

 

15.7                           Relationship to Other Benefits.  No payment
pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits
pursuant to any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance,
welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the
extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an
agreement thereunder.

 

15.8                           Expenses.  The expenses of administering the Plan
shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

15.9                           Titles and Headings.  The titles and headings of
the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event
of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings,
shall control.

 

15.10                     Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Stock
shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether
cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional
shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.

 

15.11                     Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted
or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable
exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to
Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of
such exemptive rule.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and
Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent
necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

 

15.12                     Government and Other Regulations.  The obligation of
the Company to make payment of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to
all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by government
agencies as may be required.  The Company shall be under no obligation to
register pursuant to the Securities Act, as amended, any of the shares of Stock
paid pursuant to the Plan.  If the shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in
certain circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities
Act, as amended, the Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such
manner as it deems advisable to ensure the availability of any such exemption.

 

23

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

 

15.13                     Governing Law.  The Plan and all Award Agreements
shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of
California.

 

15.14                     Section 409A.  To the extent that the Committee
determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of
the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms
and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable,
the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with
Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other
interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such
regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. 
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that
following the Effective Date the Committee determines that any Award may be
subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance
(including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the
Effective Date), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the
applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including
amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other
actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to
(a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended
tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply
with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of
Treasury guidance.

ARTICLE I.

GENERAL

 

1.1                                 Defined Terms.  Wherever the following terms
are used in this Agreement they shall have the meanings specified below, unless
the context clearly indicates otherwise.  Capitalized terms not specifically
defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Plan and the Grant
Notice.

 

(a)                                  “Termination of Consultancy” shall mean the
time when the engagement of the Participant as a Consultant to the Company or a
Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, with or without cause, including, but
not by way of limitation, by resignation, discharge, death or retirement, but
excluding:  (a) terminations where there is a simultaneous employment or
continuing employment of the Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary, and
(b) terminations where there is a simultaneous re-establishment of a consulting
relationship or continuing consulting relationship between the Participant and
the Company or any Subsidiary.  The Committee, in its absolute discretion, shall
determine the effect of all matters and questions relating to Termination of
Consultancy, including, but not by way of limitation, the question of whether a
particular leave of absence constitutes a Termination of Consultancy. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company or any Subsidiary
has an absolute and unrestricted right to terminate a Consultant’s service at
any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent
expressly provided otherwise in writing.

 

(b)                                 “Termination of Directorship” shall mean the
time when the Participant, if he or she is or becomes an Independent Director,
ceases to be a Director for any reason, including, but not by way of limitation,
a termination by resignation, failure to be elected, death or retirement.  The

matters and questions relating to Termination of Directorship with respect to
Independent Directors.

 

(c)                                  “Termination of Employment” shall mean the
time when the employee-employer relationship between the Participant and the

where there is a simultaneous reemployment or continuing employment of the
Participant by the Company or any Subsidiary, and (b) terminations where there
is a simultaneous establishment of a consulting relationship or continuing
consulting relationship between the Participant and the Company or any
Subsidiary.  The Committee, in its absolute discretion, shall determine the
effect of all matters and questions relating to Termination of Employment,
including, but not by way of limitation, the question of whether a particular
leave of absence constitutes a Termination of Employment; provided, however,
that, if this Option is an Incentive Stock Option, unless otherwise determined
by the Committee in its discretion, a leave of absence, change in status from an
employee to an independent contractor or other change in the employee-employer

 

A-1

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

 

relationship shall constitute a Termination of Employment if, and to the extent
that, such leave of absence, change in status or other change interrupts
employment for the purposes of Section 422(a)(2) of the Code and the then
applicable regulations and revenue rulings under said Section.

 

(d)                                 “Termination of Services” shall mean the
Participant’s Termination of Consultancy, Termination of Directorship or
Termination of Employment, as applicable.

 

1.2                                 Incorporation of Terms of Plan.  The Option
is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan which are incorporated herein
by reference.  In the event of any inconsistency between the Plan and this

ARTICLE II.

GRANT OF OPTION

 

2.1                                 Grant of Option.  In consideration of the
Participant’s past and/or continued employment with or service to the Company or
a Subsidiary and for other good and valuable consideration, effective as of the
Grant Date set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Grant Date”), the Company
irrevocably grants to the Participant the Option to purchase any part or all of
an aggregate of the number of shares of Stock set forth in the Grant Notice,
upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and this Agreement.  Unless
designated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option in the Grant Notice, the Option shall
be an Incentive Stock Option to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

2.2                                 Exercise Price.  The exercise price of the
shares of Stock subject to the Option shall be as set forth in the Grant Notice,
without commission or other charge; provided, however, that the price per share
of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if this Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option and the
Participant owns (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than
10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or
any “subsidiary corporation” of the Company or any “parent corporation” of the
Company (each within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code), the price per
share of the shares of Stock subject to the Option shall not be less than 110%
of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date.

 

2.3                                 Consideration to the Company.  In
consideration of the grant of the Option by the Company, the Participant agrees
to render faithful and efficient services to the Company or any Subsidiary. 
Nothing in the Plan or this Agreement shall confer upon the Participant any
right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary or
shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or
terminate the services of the Participant at any time for any reason whatsoever,
with or without Cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a
written agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and the Participant.

 

ARTICLE III.

PERIOD OF EXERCISABILITY

 

3.1                                 Commencement of Exercisability.

 

(a)                                  Subject to Sections 3.2, 3.3, 5.11 and
5.14, the Option shall become vested and exercisable in such amounts and at such
times as are set forth in the Grant Notice.

 

A-2

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

 

(b)                                 No portion of the Option which has not
become vested and exercisable at the date of the Participant’s Termination of
Employment, Termination of Directorship or Termination of Consultancy shall
thereafter become vested and exercisable, except as may be otherwise provided by
the Committee or as set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the
Participant.

 

3.2                                 Duration of Exercisability.  The
installments provided for in the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice
are cumulative.  Each such installment which becomes vested and exercisable
pursuant to the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice shall remain
vested and exercisable until it becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3.

 

3.3                                 Expiration of Option.  The Option may not be
exercised to any extent by anyone after the first to occur of the following
events:

 

(a)                                  The expiration of ten years from the Grant
Date;

 

(b)                                 If this Option is designated as an Incentive
Stock Option and the Participant owned (within the meaning of Section 424(d) of
the Code), at the time the Option was granted, more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any “subsidiary
corporation” of the Company or any “parent corporation” of the Company (each
within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code), the expiration of five years
from the Grant Date;

 

(c)                                  The expiration of three-months from the
date of the Participant’s Termination of Services, unless such termination
occurs by reason of the Participant’s death or Disability; or

 

(d)                                 The expiration of one year from the date of
the Participant’s Termination of Services by reason of the Participant’s death
or Disability.

 

The Participant acknowledges that an Incentive Stock Option exercised more that
three months after the Participant’s Termination of Employment, other than by
reason of death or Disability, will be taxed as a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

 

3.4                                 Special Tax Consequences.  The Participant
acknowledges that, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value
(determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all shares of Stock with
respect to which Incentive Stock Options, including the Option (if applicable),
are exercisable for the first time by the Participant in any calendar year
exceeds $100,000, the Option and such other options shall be Non-Qualified Stock
Options to the extent necessary to comply with the limitations imposed by
Section 422(d) of the Code.  The Participant further acknowledges that the
rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking the Option
and other “incentive stock options” into account in the order in which they were
granted, as determined under Section 422(d) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.

 

ARTICLE IV.

EXERCISE OF OPTION

 

4.1                                 Person Eligible to Exercise.  Except as
provided in Section 5.2(b), during the lifetime of the Participant, only the
Participant may exercise the Option or any portion thereof.  After the death of
the Participant, any exercisable portion of the Option may, prior to the time
when the Option becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3, be exercised by the
Participant’s personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under
the deceased the Participant’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent
and distribution.

 

A-3

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

 

4.2                                 Partial Exercise.  Any exercisable portion
of the Option or the entire Option, if then wholly exercisable, may be exercised
in whole or in part at any time prior to the time when the Option or portion
thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3.

 

4.3                                 Manner of Exercise.  The Option, or any
exercisable portion thereof, may be exercised solely by delivery to the
Secretary of the Company (or any third party administrator or other person or
entity designated by the Company) of all of the following prior to the time when
the Option or such portion thereof becomes unexercisable under Section 3.3:

 

(a)                                  An Exercise Notice in a form specified by
the Committee, stating that the Option or portion thereof is thereby exercised,
such notice complying with all applicable rules established by the Committee;

 

(b)                                 The receipt by the Company of full payment
for the shares of Stock with respect to which the Option or portion thereof is
exercised, including payment of any applicable withholding tax, which may be in
one or more of the forms of consideration permitted under Section 4.4;

 

(c)                                  Any other written representations as may be
required in the Committee’s reasonable discretion to evidence compliance with
the Securities Act or any other applicable law rule, or regulation; and

 

(d)                                 In the event the Option or portion thereof
shall be exercised pursuant to Section 4.1 by any person or persons other than
the Participant, appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to
exercise the Option.

 

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to
specify all conditions of the manner of exercise, which conditions may vary by
country and which may be subject to change from time to time.

 

4.4                                 Method of Payment.  Payment of the exercise
price shall be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the
election of the Participant:

(b)                                 Check;

 

(c)                                  With the consent of the Committee, delivery
of a notice that the Participant has placed a market sell order with a broker
with respect to shares of Stock then issuable upon exercise of the Option, and
that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net
proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the aggregate exercise
price; provided, that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company at
such time as may be required by the Company, but in any event not later than the
settlement of such sale;

 

(d)                                 With the consent of the Committee, surrender
of other shares of Stock which have a fair market value on the date of surrender
equal to the aggregate exercise price of the shares of Stock with respect to
which the Option or portion thereof is being exercised;

 

(e)                                  With the consent of the Committee,

4.5                                 Conditions to Issuance of Stock
Certificates.  The shares of Stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Option,
or any portion thereof, may be either previously authorized but unissued shares
of Stock or issued shares of Stock which have then been reacquired by the
Company.  Such shares of Stock shall be fully paid and nonassessable.  The

shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

 

(d)                                 The receipt by the Company of full payment
for such shares of Stock, including payment of any applicable withholding tax,
which may be in one or more of the forms of consideration permitted under
Section 4.4; and

 

(e)                                  The lapse of such reasonable period of time
following the exercise of the Option as the Committee may from time to time
establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

 

4.6                                 Rights as Stockholder.  The holder of the
Option shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a stockholder
of the Company in respect of any shares of Stock purchasable upon the exercise
of any part of the Option unless and until such shares of Stock shall have been
issued by the Company to such holder (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on
the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the
Company).  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which
the record date is prior to the date the shares of Stock are issued, except as
provided in Section 11.1 of the Plan.

 

ARTICLE V.

OTHER PROVISIONS

 

5.1                                 Administration.  The Committee shall have
the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for
the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent
therewith and to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules.  All actions taken
and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith
shall be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other
interested persons.  No member of the Committee or the Board shall be personally
liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with
respect to the Plan, this Agreement or the Option.

 

A-5

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

 

5.2                                 Option Not Transferable.

 

(a)                                  Subject to Section 5.2(b), the Option may
not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will
or the laws of descent and distribution, unless and until the shares of Stock
underlying the Option have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such
shares of Stock have lapsed.  Neither the Option nor any interest or right
therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of Participant
or his or her successors in interest or shall be subject to disposition by
transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other
means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of
law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or any other legal or equitable
proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall
be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is
permitted by the preceding sentence.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Agreement, with the consent of the Committee, the Participant may transfer the
Option (or any portion thereof) to any one or more Permitted Transferees (as
defined below), subject to the following terms and conditions:  (i) any portion
of the Option transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or
transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution; (ii) any portion of the Option which is transferred to
a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and
conditions of the Option as applicable to the Participant (other than the
ability to further transfer the Option); and (iii) the Participant and the
Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the
Committee, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of
the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an
exemption for the transfer under applicable federal and state securities laws
and (C) evidence the transfer.  For purposes of this Section 5.2(b), “Permitted
Transferee” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, any child, stepchild,
grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling,
niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law,
brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person
sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust
in which these persons (or the Participant) control the management of assets,
charitable institutions, or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or
beneficial owners are these persons (or the Participant) and/or charitable
institutions, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant)
own more than fifty percent of the voting interests, or any other transferee
specifically approved by the Committee after taking into account any state or
federal tax or securities laws applicable to transferable Options. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in no event shall the Option be transferable
by the Participant to a third party (other than the Company) for consideration,
and (ii) no transfer of an Incentive Stock Option will be permitted to the
extent that such transfer would cause the Incentive Stock Option to fail to
qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code.

 

5.3                                 Adjustments.  The Participant acknowledges
that the Option is subject to adjustment, modification and termination in

APPENDIX A
TO RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT NOTICE

 

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

 

1.                                       Grant.  Pursuant to the Restricted
Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) to which this Restricted Stock Unit
Agreement (the “Agreement”) is attached, Accuray Incorporated, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), has granted to the Participant an award of
%%TOTAL_SHARES_GRANTED%-% RSUs under the Company’s 2007 Incentive Award Plan
(the “Plan”) as set forth in the Grant Notice, subject to all of the terms and
conditions contained in this Agreement and the Plan.  All capitalized terms used
but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the
Plan and the Grant Notice unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

 

2.                                       Vesting and Termination.    The RSUs
shall vest and shall terminate as set forth in the Grant Notice.  In the event
of a termination of the Participant’s status as an Employee, Consultant or
Independent Director for any reason prior to the applicable Vesting Date, all
RSUs that have not vested as of the date of such termination shall thereupon
automatically be forfeited by the Participant as of such date of termination
without payment of any consideration therefor.  RSUs which are not vested as of
the date of such termination shall not thereafter become vested.

 

3.                                       RSUs.  As of the applicable Vesting
Date, each RSU that vests on such date shall represent the right to receive
payment, in accordance with Section 4 below, in the form of one share of Stock. 
Unless and until an RSU vests, the Participant will have no right to payment in
respect of any such RSU.  Prior to actual payment in respect of any vested RSU,
such RSU will represent an unsecured obligation of the Company, payable (if at
all) only from the general assets of the Company.

 

4.                                       Payment after Vesting; Code
Section 409A.  Payment in respect of any RSUs that vest in accordance herewith
shall be made to the Participant (or in the event of the Participant’s death, to
the Participant’s estate) in whole shares of Stock as soon as practicable after
the applicable Vesting Date, but in no event later than sixty (60) days, after
such Vesting Date (for the avoidance of doubt, this deadline is intended to
comply with the “short-term deferral” exemption from Section 409A of the Code).

 

5.                                       Tax Withholding.  The Company shall
have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require the
Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all
applicable federal, state and local taxes (including the Participant’s
employment tax obligations) required by law to be withheld with respect to any
taxable event arising in connection with the RSUs.  Unless otherwise determined
by the Committee, the Company shall, in satisfaction of the foregoing
requirement, withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable in respect of any RSUs
having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld, and the
Participant hereby agrees to such withholding of shares.

 

6.                                       Rights as Shareholder.  Neither the
Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant will have
any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Company in respect of
any shares of Stock that may become deliverable hereunder unless and until
certificates representing such shares of Stock shall have been issued, recorded
on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and
delivered to the Participant or any person claiming under or through the
Participant.

 

7.                                       Non-Transferability.  Unless
transferred to a Permitted Transferee (as defined below), RSUs may not be sold,
pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of
descent and distribution.  For purposes of this Section 7, “Permitted
Transferee” shall mean, with respect to a Participant,

certain persons or entities related to the Participant, including but not
limited to members of the Participant’s family, charitable institutions or
trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of
Participant’s family and/or charitable institutions, or to such other persons or
entities as may be expressly approved by the Committee, pursuant to any such
conditions and procedures the Committee may require.  Neither the RSUs nor any
interest or right therein shall be liable for the debts, contracts or
engagements of the Participant or his successors in interest or shall be subject
to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation, pledge, encumbrance,
assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or
involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or
any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any
attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to
the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence.

 

8.                                       Distribution of Stock.  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no payment shall be made under this Agreement
in the form of shares of Stock prior to the fulfillment of all of the following
conditions:  (i) the admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges
on which the Stock is then listed, (ii) the completion of any registration or
other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or under
rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or other
governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its sole and
absolute discretion, deem necessary and advisable, (iii) the obtaining of any
approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that
the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or
advisable and (iv) the lapse of any such reasonable period of time following the
Vesting Date as the Committee may from time to time establish for reasons of
administrative convenience.  All certificates delivered pursuant to this
Agreement shall be subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as
the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state, or
local securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any
national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the shares
of Stock are listed, quoted, or traded.  The Committee may place legends on any
certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the shares of Stock.  In
addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Committee may require
that the Participant make such covenants, agreements, and representations as the
Committee, in its sole discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any
such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the right to
require the Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with
respect to the settlement of any RSUs pursuant to this Agreement, including a
window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee. 
Any shares of Stock distributed pursuant to this Agreement may consist, in whole
or in part, of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares or shares
purchased on the open market.  No fractional shares shall be issued and the
Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether cash shall be given
in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be
eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.

 

9.                                       No Effect on Employment.  Nothing in
this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to
continue to serve as an Employee, Consultant, member of the Board or other
service provider of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

10.                                 Severability.  In the event that any
provision in this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, such provision
will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be
construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement,
which shall remain in full force and effect.

 

11.                                 Tax Consultation.  The Participant
understands that the Participant may suffer adverse tax consequences in
connection with the RSUs granted pursuant to this Agreement.  The Participant
represents that the Participant has consulted with any tax consultants that the
Participant deems advisable in connection with the RSUs and that the Participant
is not relying on the Company for tax advice.

12.                                 Amendments, Suspension and Termination.  To
the extent permitted by the Plan, this Agreement may be wholly or partially
amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time
to time by the Committee or the Board.

 

13.                                 Conformity to Securities Laws.  The
Participant acknowledges that the Plan and this Agreement are intended to
conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the Securities Act and
the Exchange Act and any and all regulations and rules promulgated by the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, and all applicable state
securities laws and regulations.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Plan shall be administered, and the RSUs are granted, only in such
a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.  To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Plan and this Agreement shall be deemed amended
to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

 

14.                                 Limitations Applicable to Section 16
Persons.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or this Agreement, if
the Participant becomes subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Plan, the
RSUs and this Agreement shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth
in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including
any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the
application of such exemptive rule.  To the extent permitted by applicable law,
this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to
such applicable exemptive rule.

 

15.                                 Code Section 409A.  The RSUs are not
intended to constitute or provide for “nonqualified deferred compensation”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).  However,
notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, this Agreement or the Grant
Notice, if at any time the Committee determines that the RSUs (or any portion
thereof) may be subject to Section 409A, the Committee shall have the right, in
its sole discretion, to adopt such amendments to the Plan, this Agreement or the
Grant Notice or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments,
policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, as
the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate either for the RSUs to be
exempt from the application of Section 409A or to comply with the requirements
of Section 409A.  Nothing herein shall, or shall be construed so as to, limit
the generality of Section 15.14 of the Plan.

 

16.                                 Adjustments.  The Participant acknowledges
that the RSUs are subject to modification and termination in certain events as
provided in this Agreement and Article 11 of the Plan.
