ARTICLE 2
  
  STOCK OPTIONS    
    


        2.1    Agreements Evidencing Stock Options    



        (a)   Options
awarded under the Plan shall be evidenced by Agreements which shall not be inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Plan, and which shall contain such
provisions as the Committee may in its sole discretion deem necessary or desirable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee may in any Agreement impose such restrictions or
conditions upon the exercise of an Option or upon the sale or other disposition of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of an Option as the Committee may in its sole discretion determine.
By accepting an award pursuant to the Plan each Optionee shall thereby agree that each such award and shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Option shall be subject to all of the terms
and provisions of the Plan, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Section 1.3(d). 


        (b)   Each
Agreement shall set forth the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Option granted thereby. 


        (c)   Each
Agreement relating to Options shall set forth the amount payable by the Optionee to the Company upon exercise of the Option evidenced thereby. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, the Option exercise price per share of Common Stock shall be not less than the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, adjusted as determined by the
Committee to reflect changes in capitalization as contemplated by Section 3.4. 




        2.2    Term of Options.    



         Each
Agreement shall set forth the period during which the Option evidenced thereby shall be exercisable, whether in whole or in part, such periods to be determined by the
Committee in its discretion. 




        2.3    Exercise of Options.    Subject to the provisions of this Article 2, each Option granted under the Plan
shall be exercisable as follows: 



        (a)   An
Option shall become exercisable at such times and subject to such conditions as the applicable Agreement may provide or as subsequently determined by the Committee. 


        (b)   Unless
the applicable Agreement otherwise provides, an Option granted under the Plan may be exercised from time to time as to all or part of the shares as to which such
Option shall then be exercisable. 


        (c)   An
Option shall be exercisable by the filing of a written notice of exercise with the Company, on such form and in such manner as the Committee shall in its sole
discretion prescribe. 


        (d)   Unless
the applicable Agreement otherwise provides, any written notice of exercise of an Option shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price for the shares
being purchased. Such payment shall be made by certified or official bank check payable to the Company (or the equivalent thereof as may be set forth in an Agreement or as may be acceptable to the
Committee). Subject to Section 3.10 of the Plan, as soon as practicable after receipt of such payment and the satisfaction of the withholding taxes referred to in Section 3.3, the
Company shall deliver to the Optionee a certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock so purchased. 




        2.4    Termination of Options.    



        (a)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Plan, except as the Agreement or the Committee may otherwise provide or as set forth in Section 2.4(b) or
Section 2.4(d), Options granted to an Optionee (and already vested but not yet exercised) shall terminate on the date 



3





 

which
is forty-five (45) days after termination of his employment with the Company for any reason (other than by reason of death or disability in which case the Options shall
terminate on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such termination). 



        (b)   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or as set forth in an Agreement, all Options granted to an Optionee
(whether vested or unvested) shall immediately expire and cease to be exercisable and all rights granted to an Optionee
under this Plan and such Optionee's Agreement shall immediately expire in the event of a Termination With Cause of the Optionee by the Company at any time. 


        (c)   Unless
the applicable Agreement expressly provides otherwise, Options awarded to Optionees under the terms of the Plan will be exercisable only in accordance with the
following vesting schedule:  



	Applicable Date
 
	 	Cumulative

Percentage of

Total Shares
	 
	On the first anniversary of the date of the Agreement	 	20	%
	On the second anniversary of the date of the Agreement	 	40	%
	On the third anniversary of the date of the Agreement	 	60	%
	On the fourth anniversary of the date of the Agreement	 	80	%
	On the fifth anniversary of the date of the Agreement	 	100	%





The
Committee may modify this vesting schedule in any manner that it deems appropriate in any Agreement or otherwise, and may provide different vesting schedules in different Agreements in its sole
discretion. Except as the Committee may otherwise provide or as otherwise set forth in an Agreement, in the event that Optionee's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason prior to the
date on which the Optionee's right to exercise the Options has fully vested pursuant to this Section 2.4(c), the unvested portion of the Options will immediately cease to be exercisable. The
Committee may accelerate the vesting of any Options at any time. 


        (d)   Unless
otherwise set forth in an Agreement or as determined by the Committee, in the event that an Optionee's employment with the Company is terminated for any reason
(including, but not limited to, death or disability), if at the time of such termination the Common Stock is not publicly traded on a national securities exchange or
over-the-counter market, the Company shall have the right, at its election, on giving ten days written notice to such Optionee to repurchase any and all shares of Common Stock
acquired upon exercise of Options owned at the time of such termination by such Optionee, as well as any and all shares of Common Stock acquired upon exercise of Options owned by such Optionee at the
time of such termination which are, or in connection with such termination become, vested. Such repurchase right may be exercised by the Company at any time after the shares of Common Stock have been
owned of record by the Optionee for at least six months. The purchase price payable by the Company to the Optionee on exercise of its right to repurchase will
be: (A) in the event such termination is a Termination With Cause, the lesser of the fair market value of the Common Stock which is being repurchased, determined as of the date of the
repurchase, or the price paid by the Optionee; or (B) in the event such termination is by such Optionee or by the Company without Cause or by reason of death or disability, the greater of the
fair market value of the Common Stock held by the Optionee which is being repurchased, determined as of the date of the repurchase, or the price paid by the Optionee. The fair market value will be
determined by the Board in its absolute discretion, unless otherwise expressly set forth in the applicable Agreement. 


        (e)   Unless
otherwise set forth in an Agreement or as determined by the Committee, in the event of a Non-Control Transaction (as hereinafter defined),
(A) all outstanding Options shall remain outstanding and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the related 



4





 




Agreements,
including the vesting schedule contained in Section 2.4(c), and (B) each Optionee shall be entitled to receive in respect of each share of Common Stock subject to the Option,
upon exercise of such Option after the vesting thereof, the same amount and kind of stock, securities, cash, property or other consideration that each holder of a share of Common Stock was entitled to
receive in the Non-Control Transaction in respect of a share. Unless otherwise set forth in an Agreement or as determined by the Committee, in the event of a Transaction (as hereinafter
defined), 50% of the outstanding Options that have not then vested ("Outstanding Unvested Options") held by each Optionee then actively employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
shall immediately vest on the date of consummation of the Transaction (the "Transaction Date"). Any remaining Outstanding Unvested Options held by an Optionee shall immediately vest upon:
(i) the first anniversary of the Transaction Date, if the Optionee is actively employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates on such first anniversary, or (ii) the
date of termination of the Optionee's employment, if the Optionee's employment is involuntarily terminated (other than a Termination With Cause) between the Transaction Date and the first anniversary
thereof. For purposes of the preceding sentence, an Optionee's employment shall be deemed to have been involuntarily terminated if the Optionee voluntarily terminates his or her employment promptly
following a material reduction in such Optionee's (i) duties, title, or responsibilities or (ii) base salary, in either case from that in effect immediately prior to the Transaction;  provided,
that for the avoidance of doubt, a change in title, duties or responsibilities that is inherent in the fact of the occurrence of the
Transaction, such as a change in title or reporting responsibilities that merely reflects that the Company is owned by another entity, will not by itself be deemed a material reduction for purposes of
this sentence. 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of a Transaction or a Non-Control Transaction, outstanding Options may, in the Company's sole discretion and without the consent of the
Optionee, be converted into or exchanged for substantially equivalent options to purchase shares of the surviving corporation. In addition, as of the Transaction Date, the Company shall also have the
right to cancel any or all Options which have not been exercised as of the Transaction Date, subject to the payment of the purchase price described below. The purchase price payable by the Company to
the Optionee upon the cancellation of each unexercised Option will be the aggregate fair market value of the Common Stock underlying each such Option determined as of the Transaction Date less the
aggregate exercise price of each such Option. The fair market value will be determined in good faith by the Board based on the value being paid to or received by the holders of Common Stock in such
Transaction for their shares of Common Stock. 


Unless
otherwise provided in an Agreement or as determined by the Committee, "Transaction" means (i) the approval by partners or stockholders of the liquidation or dissolution of the Company,
(ii) a sale or other disposition of 51% or more of the outstanding interests or voting stock, respectively, of the Company, (iii) the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into
any entity, or (iv) a sale or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the Company; provided, however, that the term "Transaction" shall exclude each transaction which is a
"Non-Control Transaction." Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement or as determined by the Committee, the term "Non-Control Transaction" means (i) any transaction
following which either (A) AEA Investors Inc. ("AEA") and/or its affiliates, participants, investors and/or employees (collectively, "AEA Entities"), or (B) DLJMB Funding
III, Inc. ("DLJMB") and/or its affiliates, participants, investors, related investment funds and/or employees (collectively, "DLJMB Entities"), have not suffered a material reduction in
percentage voting ownership from that in effect as of February 28, 2001 of the Company or any successor thereto (disregarding any reduction due to the grant or exercise of any Options or other
stock-based compensatory awards to employees, consultants or directors of the Company or any of its affiliates); (ii) there is, after the transaction, no other person or group who owns a
greater percentage of voting control over the purchasing or surviving entity than the AEA Entities or DLJMB Entities; provided that, for 



5





 




purposes
of this clause, any transferee of substantially all of the interests in the Company held by either the AEA Entities or the DLJMB Entities shall itself be considered to be an AEA Entity or
DLJMB Entity, as applicable; but provided further, that the foregoing proviso shall be applied only as to one of either the AEA Entities or DLJMB Entities, so that, for example, if any person acquires
substantially all the interests in the Company held by AEA Entities, and any person subsequently acquires substantially all the interests in the Company held by the DLJMB Entities, such subsequent
person shall not be deemed to be a DLJMB Entity for purposes of this clause; (iii) a merger or consolidation following which those persons who owned directly or indirectly a majority of the
outstanding interests or shares of voting stock of PMD Investors I LP and PMD Investors II LP (collectively "PMD") and DLJMB and/or the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation will
own directly or indirectly a majority of the outstanding interests or shares of voting stock of the surviving corporation; (iv) a sale or other disposition of interests or capital stock,
respectively, of the Company following which those persons who owned directly or indirectly a majority of the outstanding interests or shares of voting stock immediately prior to such sale will own
directly or indirectly a majority of the outstanding interests or shares of voting stock of the purchasing entity; (v) a sale or other disposition of substantially all of the assets of the
Company to an AEA Entity, a DLJMB Entity or an affiliate of the Company; (vi) an IPO of the Company or (vii) any transaction following which any of the following, alone or in
combination, constitute a majority of the directors of the Board or have a right to elect a majority of the Board: PMD, DLJMB, an AEA Entity, DLJMB Entity or any officers, directors, employees,
participants, shareholders or agents of an AEA Entity or DLJMB Entity or partners of PMD or a DLJMB Entity.

    MISCELLANEOUS    
    


        3.1    Amendment of the Plan; Modification of Awards.    



        (a)   The
Board may, without stockholder approval, from time to time suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever, except that no such
suspension, discontinuance, revision or amendment shall adversely alter or impair any rights or obligations under any award theretofore made under the Plan without the consent of the person to whom
such award was made. 


        (b)   With
the consent of the Optionee and subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan (including Section 3.1(a)), the Committee may amend outstanding Agreements
with such Optionee, for example, to (i) accelerate the time or times at which an Option may be exercised or (ii) extend the scheduled expiration date of the Option. 




        3.2    Nonassignability.    Unless otherwise provided in an Agreement or as determined by the Committee, no right
granted to any Optionee under the Plan or under any Agreement shall be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, during the life of the Optionee, all rights granted to the Optionee under the Plan or under any Agreement shall be exercisable only by him. 


        3.3    Withholding of Taxes.    The Company shall be entitled to withhold an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal,
state and other governmental tax requirements related to an Option. Whenever, under the Plan, shares of Common Stock are to be delivered upon exercise of an Option, the Company shall be entitled to
require as a condition of delivery that the Optionee remit an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and other governmental tax withholding requirements related thereto, which may, in the
sole discretion of the Committee, include delivery or withholding of shares of Common Stock. 


6





 



        3.4    Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization.    Except as otherwise provided in an Agreement, if and to the
extent specified by the Committee, the exercise price for Options and the number of shares of Common Stock or other property which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under the
Plan shall be automatically adjusted to reflect any stock splits, reverse stock splits or
dividends paid in the form of Common Stock and equitably adjusted as determined by the Committee to be appropriate and reasonable for any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of
Common Stock resulting from the subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock or other capital adjustments, or the payment of any other stock dividend or other extraordinary dividend after the
effective date of this Plan, or other increase or decrease in the number of such shares of Common Stock or any substantial sale of the assets of the Company; provided, however, that, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, any Options to purchase fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from any such adjustment shall be eliminated. Adjustments under this Section 3.4 shall be made
by the Committee, whose determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive. 


        3.5    Right of Discharge Reserved.    Nothing in this Plan or in any Agreement shall confer upon any employee or
other person the right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or affect any right which the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
may have to terminate the employment or service of such employee or other person. 



        3.6    No Rights as a Stockholder.    No Optionee or other person holding an Option shall have any of the rights of a
stockholder of the Company with respect to shares subject to an Option until the issuance of a stock certificate to him for such shares. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4, no
adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights (whether ordinary or extraordinary, and whether in cash, securities or other property) for which the record date is prior to the
date such stock certificate is issued. 


        3.7    Nature of Payments.    



        (a)   Any
and all payments of shares of Common Stock or cash hereunder shall be granted, transferred or paid in consideration of services performed by the Optionee for the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. 



7







  



        (b)   All
such grants, issuances and payments shall constitute a special incentive payment to the Optionee and shall not, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, be
taken into account in computing the amount of salary or compensation of the Optionee for the purposes of determining any pension, retirement, death or other benefits under (i) any pension,
retirement, life insurance or other benefit plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or (ii) any agreement between the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and
the Optionee. 




        3.8    Non-Uniform Determinations.    The Committee's determinations under the Plan need not be uniform
and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, awards under the Plan (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled, among other things, to make non-uniform and selective determinations, and to enter into non-uniform and selective Agreements, as
to (i) the persons to receive awards under the Plan, (ii) the terms and provisions of awards under the Plan, and (iii) the treatment of awards under the Plan pursuant to
Section 3.4. 


        3.9    Other Payments or Awards.    Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed in any way to limit or restrict the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or the Committee from making any award or payment to any person under any other plan, arrangement or understanding, whether now existing or hereafter
in effect. 


        3.10    Restrictions.    



        (a)   If
the Committee shall at any time determine that any Consent (as hereinafter defined) is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting
of any award under the Plan, the issuance or purchase of shares or the exercise of other rights hereunder or the taking of any other action hereunder (each such action being hereinafter referred to as
a "Plan Action"), then such Plan Action shall not be taken, in whole or in part, unless and until such Consent shall have been effected or obtained to the full satisfaction of the Committee. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, if (i) the Committee is entitled under the Plan to make any payment in cash, Common Stock or both, and (ii) the Committee determines that a
Consent is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, payment in any one or more of such forms, the Committee shall be entitled to determine not to make any payment whatsoever
until such Consent shall have been obtained in the manner aforesaid. In such event, the Committee will use reasonable efforts to obtain such Consent. 


        (b)   The
term "Consent" as used herein with respect to any Plan Action means (i) any and all listings, registrations, qualifications or similar requirements in respect
thereof upon any securities exchange or under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation, (ii) any and all written agreements and representations by the grantee with respect to the
disposition of shares, or with respect to any other matter, which the Committee shall deem necessary or desirable to comply with the terms of any such listing, registration, qualification or similar
requirement or to obtain an exemption from the requirement that any such listing, qualification or registration be made and (iii) any and all consents, clearances and approvals in respect of a
Plan Action by any governmental or other regulatory bodies. 




        3.11        This Plan and the agreements entered into hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its rules of conflict of laws. 



        3.12    Section Headings.    The section headings contained herein are for the purposes of convenience only and are
not intended to define or limit the contents of said sections. 


        3.13    Effective Date and Term of Plan.    



        (a)   This
Plan shall be deemed adopted and become effective upon the approval thereof by the Board. 



8





 

        (b)   Subject
to Section 3.1(a) hereof, the Plan shall terminate 10 years after the date on which it becomes effective, and no awards shall thereafter be made
under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all awards made under the Plan prior to the date on which the Plan terminates shall remain in effect until such awards have been satisfied or terminated
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan. 




Adopted
as of this 31st day of October, 2001.
