	Purpose 


The purpose of this Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) of Analog Devices, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (the “Company”), is to advance the interests of the Company’s stockholders by enhancing the Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate persons who are expected to make important contributions to the Company and by providing such persons with equity ownership opportunities and performance-based incentives that are intended to align their interests with those of the Company’s stockholders.  Except where the context otherwise requires, the term “Company” shall include any of the Company’s present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Code”) and any other business venture (including, without limitation, joint venture or limited liability company) in which the Company has a controlling interest, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”).  
		
	2.
	Eligibility 


All of the Company’s employees, officers and directors, as well as consultants and advisors (as such terms are defined and interpreted for purposes of Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any successor form (“Form S-8”)) are eligible to receive options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance awards and other stock unit awards (each, an “Award”) under the Plan.  Each person who receives an Award under the Plan is deemed a “Participant”.  
		
	3.
	Administration and Delegation 


(a)    Administration by Board of Directors.  The Plan will be administered by the Board.  The Board shall have authority to grant Awards and to adopt, amend and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices relating to the Plan as it shall deem advisable.  The Board may construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and any Award agreement entered into under the Plan.  The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem expedient to carry the Plan into effect and it shall be the sole and final judge of such expediency.  All decisions by the Board shall be made in the Board’s sole discretion and shall be final and binding on all persons having or claiming any interest in the Plan or in any Award.  No director or person acting pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board shall be liable for any action or determination relating to or under the Plan made in good faith.  
(b)    Appointment of Committees.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate any or all of its powers under the Plan to one or more committees or subcommittees of the Board (a “Committee”).  All references in the Plan to the “Board” shall mean the Board or a Committee of the Board or the officers referred to in Section 3(c) to the extent that the Board’s powers or authority under the Plan have been delegated to such Committee or officers.  
(c)    Delegation to Officers.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the power to grant Awards to employees or officers of the Company or any of its present or future subsidiary corporations and to exercise such other powers under the Plan as the Board may determine, provided that the Board shall fix the terms of the Awards to be granted by such officers (including the exercise price of such Awards, which may include a formula by which the exercise price will be determined) and the maximum number of shares subject to Awards that the officers may grant; provided further, however, that no officer shall be authorized to grant Awards to any “executive officer” of the Company (as defined by Rule 3b-7 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) or to any “officer” of the Company (as defined by Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act).  
(d)    Awards to Non-Employee Directors.  Discretionary Awards to non-employee directors may be granted and administered only by a Committee, all of the members of which are independent directors as defined by Section 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) Marketplace Rules.

	Stock Available for Awards 


(a)    Number of Shares.  Subject to adjustment under Section 11, Awards may be made under the Plan for up to 34,000,000 shares of common stock, $.16 2/3 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).  The 34,000,000 shares of Common Stock available for issuance consist of (i) 15,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Shares”), which became available for issuance on March 14, 2006, the date the Company’s stockholders first approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Initial Effective Date”) and (ii) 19,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), which became available for issuance on March 12, 2014, the date the Company’s stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended Effective Date”)1.  In addition, subject to adjustment under Section 11, Awards may be made under the Plan with respect to any shares that were subject to outstanding options under the 1998 Stock Option and 2001 Broad-Based Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”) as of January 23, 2006, the date of the initial adoption of the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan by the Board, but which shares are not issued under the Prior Plans as a result, and to the extent, of the termination or expiration of the applicable option prior to the exercise thereof.  From and after the Initial Effective Date, the Company issued no further options under the Prior Plans, and such Prior Plans terminated, except to the extent they apply to options outstanding under the Prior Plans as of the Initial Effective Date.  
(b)    Counting of Shares.  For purposes of counting the number of shares available for the grant of Awards under the Plan and under the sublimits contained in Section 4(c):
(1)    all shares of Common Stock covered by SARs shall be counted against the number of shares available for the grant of Awards under the Plan and against the sublimits contained in Section 4(c); provided, however, that (i) SARs that may be settled only in cash shall not be so counted and (ii) if the Company grants an SAR in tandem with an Option for the same number of shares of Common Stock and provides that only one such Award may be exercised (a “Tandem SAR”), only the shares covered by the Option, and not the shares covered by the Tandem SAR, shall be so counted, and the expiration of one in connection with the other’s exercise will not restore shares to the Plan;
(2)    if any Award (i) expires or is terminated, surrendered or canceled without having been fully exercised or is forfeited in whole or in part (including as the result of shares of Common Stock subject to such Award being repurchased by the Company at the original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right) or (ii) results in any Common Stock not being issued (including as a result of an SAR that was settleable either in cash or in stock actually being settled in cash), the unused Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available for the grant of Awards; provided, however, that (x) in the case of Incentive Stock Options, the foregoing shall be subject to any limitations under the Code, (y) in the case of the exercise of an SAR, the number of shares counted against the shares available under the Plan and against the sublimits contained in Section 4(c) shall be the full number of shares subject to the SAR multiplied by the percentage of the SAR actually exercised, regardless of the number of shares actually used to settle such SAR upon exercise and (z) the shares covered by a Tandem SAR shall not again become available for grant upon the expiration or termination of such Tandem SAR;
(3)    shares of Common Stock delivered (by actual delivery, attestation, or net exercise) to the Company by a Participant to (i) purchase shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an Award or (ii) satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations with respect to Options and SARs (including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation) shall not be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant of Awards (for the avoidance of doubt, shares of Common Stock delivered (by actual delivery, attestation or net exercise) to the Company by a Participant to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations with respect to Awards other than Options and SARs (including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation) shall be added back to the number of shares available for the future grant of Awards); and










___________________________ 
1The Initial Shares were subject to share counting rules pursuant to which (1) shares subject to Awards of Options and SARs counted against the limit as one share for every one share subject to such Award and (2) shares subject to Awards other than Options and SARs counted as three shares for every one share subject to such Award.  The Additional Shares, and any of the Initial Shares that are not subject to an outstanding Award as of the Amended Effective Date, are counted as one share for every one share subject to every type of Award granted on or after the Amended Effective Date.  To the extent that a share that was subject to an Award that counted as one share is returned to the Plan pursuant to Section 4(b)(2), each applicable share reserve will be credited with one share.  To the extent that a share that was subject to an Award that counted as three shares is returned to the Plan pursuant to Section 4(b)(2), each applicable share reserve will be credited with three shares.

2




 






(4)    shares of Common Stock repurchased by the Company on the open market using the proceeds from the exercise of an Award shall not increase the number of shares available for future grant of Awards.
(c)    Sub-limits.  
(1)    Per-Participant Limits.  Subject to adjustment under Section 11, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to any Participant under the Plan shall be 2,000,000 per fiscal year of the Company, and the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock Unit Awards may be granted to any Participant under the Plan shall be 1,000,000 per fiscal year of the Company.  For purposes of the foregoing limit, the combination of an Option in tandem with a Stock Appreciation Right shall be treated as a single Award.  The per-Participant limit described in this Section 4(c)(1) shall be construed and applied consistently with Section 162(m) of the Code or any successor provision thereto, and the regulations thereunder (“Section 162(m)”).  For the avoidance of doubt, each share subject to an Award shall be counted as one share for purposes of this sublimit.   
(2)    Limit on Awards to Directors.  Subject to adjustment under Section 11, the maximum number of shares with respect to which Awards may be granted to a director who is not an employee of the Company at the time of grant shall be 50,000 per fiscal year of the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, each share subject to an Award shall be counted as one share for purposes of this sublimit.
(d)    Substitute Awards.  In connection with a merger or consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by the Company of property or stock of an entity, the Board may grant Awards in substitution for any options or other stock or stock-based awards granted by such entity or an affiliate thereof.  Substitute Awards may be granted on such terms as the Board deems appropriate in the circumstances, notwithstanding any limitations on Awards contained in the Plan.  Substitute Awards shall not count against the overall share limit set forth in Section 4(a) or any sublimits contained in the Plan, except as may be required by reason of Section 422 and related provisions of the Code.
		
	5.
	Stock Options 


(a)    General.  The Board may grant options to purchase Common Stock (each, an “Option”) and determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option, including conditions relating to applicable federal or state securities laws, as it considers necessary or advisable.  An Option which is not intended to be an Incentive Stock Option (as hereinafter defined) shall be designated a “Nonstatutory Stock Option”.  
(b)    Incentive Stock Options.  An Option that the Board intends to be an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code (an “Incentive Stock Option”) shall only be granted to employees of Analog Devices, Inc., any of Analog Devices, Inc.’s present or future parent or subsidiary corporations as defined in Sections 424(e) or (f) of the Code, and any other entities the employees of which are eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Code, and shall be subject to and shall be construed consistently with the requirements of Section 422 of the Code.  The Company shall have no liability to a Participant, or any other party, if an Option (or any part thereof) that is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option is not an Incentive Stock Option or for any action taken by the Board pursuant to Section 12(f), including without limitation the conversion of an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  The maximum number of shares that may be issued upon exercise of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan shall be 15,000,000, as adjusted pursuant to Section 11.  
(c)    Exercise Price.  The Board shall establish the exercise price of each Option and specify such exercise price in the applicable option agreement; provided, however, that the exercise price shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date the Option is granted.  For purposes of this Plan, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the fair market value as determined by (or in a manner approved by) the Board.  

3




 


(d)    Duration of Options.  Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable option agreement; provided, however, that no Option will be granted for a term in excess of 10 years.  
(e)    Exercise of Option.  Options may be exercised by delivery to the Company, or an agent of the Company, of a written notice of exercise signed by the proper person or by any other form of notice (including electronic notice) approved by the Board, together with payment in full as specified in Section 5(f) for the number of shares for which the Option is exercised.  Shares of Common Stock subject to the Option will be delivered by the Company following exercise either as soon as practicable.  
(f)    Payment Upon Exercise.  Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option granted under the Plan shall be paid for as follows: 
(1)    in cash or by check, payable to the order of the Company; 
(2)    except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable option agreement, by (i) delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking by a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding or (ii) delivery by the Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional instructions to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price and any required tax withholding; 
(3)    except as otherwise provided in the applicable option agreement, by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant valued at their Fair Market Value, provided (i) such method of payment is then permitted under applicable law, (ii) such Common Stock, if acquired directly from the Company, was owned by the Participant for at least six months or such greater period of time, if any, as may be established by the Board in its discretion and (iii) such Common Stock is not subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements; 
(4)    if provided for in the applicable option agreement or approved by the Company, in its sole discretion, by payment of such other lawful consideration as the Board may determine; or 
(5)    by any combination of the above permitted forms of payment.  
(g)    Limitation on Repricing.  Unless such action is approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Company may not (except as provided for under Section 11):  (1) amend any outstanding Option granted under the Plan to provide an exercise price per share that is lower than the then-current exercise price per share of such outstanding Option, (2) cancel any outstanding option (whether or not granted under the Plan) and grant in substitution therefor new Awards under the Plan (other than Awards granted pursuant to Section 4(d)) covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock and having an exercise price per share lower than the then-current exercise price per share of the cancelled option, (3) cancel in exchange for a cash payment any outstanding Option with an exercise price per share above the then-current Fair Market Value, or (4) take any other action under the Plan that constitutes a “repricing” within the meaning of the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.
(h)    No Reload Rights.  No option granted under the Plan shall contain any provision entitling the optionee to the automatic grant of additional Options in connection with any exercise of the original Option.  
		
	6.
	Stock Appreciation Rights 


(a)    General.  The Board may grant Awards consisting of a Stock Appreciation Right (“SAR”) entitling the holder, upon exercise, to receive an amount in Common Stock or cash or a combination thereof (as specified by the Board in the applicable Award agreement or otherwise) determined by reference to appreciation, from and after the date of grant, in the fair market value of a share of Common Stock.  The date as of which such appreciation or other measure is determined shall be the exercise date.  
(b)    Grants.  Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with, or independently of, Options granted under the Plan.  
(1)    Tandem Awards.  When Stock Appreciation Rights are expressly granted in tandem with Options, (i) the Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable only at such time or times, and to the extent, that the related Option is exercisable (except to the extent designated by the Board in connection with a Reorganization 

4




 


Event or a Change in Control Event) and will be exercisable in accordance with the procedure required for exercise of the related Option; (ii) the Stock Appreciation Right will terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Option, except to the extent designated by the Board in connection with a Reorganization Event or a Change in Control Event and except that a Stock Appreciation Right granted with respect to less than the full number of shares covered by an Option will not be reduced until the number of shares as to which the related Option has been exercised or has terminated exceeds the number of shares not covered by the Stock Appreciation Right; (iii) the Option will terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the exercise of the related Stock Appreciation Right; and (iv) the Stock Appreciation Right will be transferable only with the related Option.  
(2)    Independent SARs.  A Stock Appreciation Right not expressly granted in tandem with an Option will become exercisable at such time or times, and on such conditions, as the Board may specify in the SAR Award.  
(c)    Grant Price.  The Board shall establish the exercise or grant price of each SAR and specify such price in the applicable Award agreement; provided, however, that the exercise or grant price shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date the SAR is granted.  
(d)    Duration of SAR.  Each SAR shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Board may specify in the applicable Award agreement; provided, however, that no SAR will be granted for a term in excess of 10 years.  
(e)    Exercise.  Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised by delivery to the Company, or an agent of the Company, of a written notice of exercise signed by the proper person or by any other form of notice (including electronic notice) approved by the Board, together with any other documents required by the Board.  
(f)    Limitation on Repricing.  Unless such action is approved by the Company’s stockholders, the Company may not (except as provided for under Section 11):  (1) amend any outstanding SAR granted under the Plan to provide an exercise price per share that is lower than the then-current exercise price per share of such outstanding SAR, (2) cancel any outstanding stock appreciation right (whether or not granted under the Plan) and grant in substitution therefor new Awards under the Plan (other than Awards granted pursuant to Section 4(d)) covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock and having an exercise price per share lower than the then-current exercise price per share of the cancelled stock appreciation right, (3) cancel in exchange for a cash payment any outstanding SAR with an exercise price per share above the then-current Fair Market Value, or (4) take any other action under the Plan that constitutes a “repricing” within the meaning of the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market.
		
	7.
	Restricted Stock 


(a)    General.  The Board may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares of Common Stock (“Restricted Stock”), subject to the right of the Company to repurchase all or part of such shares at their issue price or other stated or formula price (or to require forfeiture of such shares if issued at no cost) from the recipient in the event that conditions specified by the Board in the applicable Award are not satisfied prior to the end of the applicable restriction period or periods established by the Board for such Award.  
(b)    Terms and Conditions.  Subject to Section 7(c), the Board shall determine the terms and conditions of a Restricted Stock Award, including the conditions for vesting and forfeiture and the issue price, if any.  
(c)    Dividends.  Participants holding shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to all dividends (whether paid in cash, stock or property) paid with respect to such shares only if and when such shares become free from the restrictions on transferability and forfeitability that apply to such shares (“Accrued Dividends”).  Each payment of Accrued Dividends shall be made no later than the end of the calendar year in which the dividends are paid to stockholders of that class of stock or, if later, the 15th day of the third month following the lapsing of the restrictions on transferability and the forfeitability provisions applicable to the underlying shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid, unless otherwise provided by the Board. 
(d)    Stock Certificates.  The Company may require that the stock certificates, if any, issued in respect of a Restricted Stock Award shall be deposited in escrow by the Participant, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its designee).  At the expiration of the applicable restriction periods, the Company (or such designee) shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to such restrictions to the Participant or if the 

5




 


Participant has died, to the beneficiary designated, in a manner determined by the Board, by a Participant to receive amounts due or exercise rights of the Participant in the event of the Participant’s death (the “Designated Beneficiary”).  In the absence of an effective designation by a Participant, “Designated Beneficiary” shall mean the Participant’s estate.  
		
	8.
	Restricted Stock Units 


(a)    General.  The Board may grant Awards consisting of Restricted Stock Units.  “Restricted Stock Unit” means a fictional share of Common Stock granted to a Participant and represented initially by a bookkeeping entry.  
(b)    Terms and Conditions.  Subject to Section 8(d), the Board shall determine the terms and conditions of a Restricted Stock Unit, including the conditions for vesting and forfeiture and issue price, if any.  Upon the vesting of and/or lapsing of any other restrictions with respect to each Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to receive from the Company such number of shares of Common Stock or an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such number of shares of Common Stock, as specified by the Board in the applicable Award agreement or otherwise.  The Board may, in its discretion, provide that settlement of Restricted Stock Units shall be deferred, on a mandatory basis or at the election of the Participant.  
(c)    Voting Rights.  A Participant shall have no voting rights with respect to any Restricted Stock Units.  
(d)    Dividends.  Unless otherwise provided by the Board, in its sole discretion, a grant of Restricted Stock Units shall not entitle Participants with the right to receive an amount equal to any dividends or other distributions declared and paid on an equal number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (“Dividend Equivalents”).  Dividend Equivalents, if any, may be settled in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and must be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the Restricted Stock Units with respect to which paid.  
		
	9.
	Performance Awards 


(a)    Grants.  Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units and other Awards under the Plan may be made subject to the achievement of performance measures pursuant to this Section 9 (“Performance Awards”).  
(b)    Committee.  Grants of Performance Awards to any Covered Employee intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) (“Performance-Based Compensation”) shall be made only by a Committee (or subcommittee of a Committee) comprised solely of two or more directors eligible to serve on a committee making Awards qualifying as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.  In the case of such Awards granted to Covered Employees, references to the Board or to a Committee shall be deemed to be references to such Committee or subcommittee.  “Covered Employee” shall mean any person who is a “covered employee” under Section 162(m)(3) of the Code.  
(c)    Performance Measures.  For any Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee shall specify in the applicable Award agreement that the degree of granting, vesting and/or payout shall be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance measures established by the Committee, which shall be based on the relative or absolute attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the following: (a) net income, (b) earnings before or after discontinued operations, interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization, (c) operating profit before or after discontinued operations and/or taxes, (d) sales, (e) sales growth, (f) earnings growth, (g) cash flow, free cash flow or cash position, (h) gross margins or margin percentages, (i) stock price, (j) market share, (k) return on sales, assets, equity or investment, (l) improvement of financial ratings, (m) achievement of balance sheet or income statement objectives or (n) total shareholder return, (o) product release schedules, (p) product shipment targets, (q) customer satisfaction, (r) product design-in and/or design-win revenue opportunities, or (s) new product innovation.  Such measures may be absolute in their terms or measured against or in relationship to other companies comparably, similarly or otherwise situated and may be determined on a total or per share basis.  Such performance measures may be adjusted to exclude any one or more of (i) extraordinary items, (ii) gains or losses on the dispositions of discontinued operations, (iii) the cumulative effects of changes in accounting principles, (iv) the writedown of any asset, (v) stock based compensation, and (vi) charges for restructuring and rationalization programs.  Such performance measures: (i) may vary by Participant and may be different for different Awards; (ii) may be particular to a Participant or the department, branch, line of business, subsidiary or other unit in which the Participant works and may cover such period as may be specified by the Committee; and (iii) shall be set by the Committee within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply 

6




 


with the requirements of, Section 162(m).  Awards that are not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation may be based on these or such other performance measures as the Board may determine.  
(d)    Adjustments.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan, with respect to any Performance Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, the Committee may adjust downwards, but not upwards, the cash or number of shares payable pursuant to such Award, and the Committee may not waive the achievement of the applicable performance measures except in the case of the death or disability of the Participant.  
(e)    Dividends.  Unless otherwise provided by the Board, in its sole discretion, a grant of a Performance Award shall not entitle Participants with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents.  Dividend Equivalents, if any, may be settled in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and must be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the Performance Award with respect to which paid.  
(f)    Other.  The Committee shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Awards subject to this Section 9 as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards satisfy all requirements for Performance-Based Compensation.  
		
	10.
	Other Stock Unit Awards 


(a)    Grants.  Other Awards of shares of Common Stock, and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, shares of Common Stock or other property, may be granted hereunder to Participants (“Other Stock Unit Awards”), including without limitation Awards entitling recipients to receive shares of Common Stock to be delivered in the future.  Such Other Stock Unit Awards shall also be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards granted under the Plan or as payment in lieu of compensation to which a Participant is otherwise entitled.  Other Stock Unit Awards may be paid in shares of Common Stock or cash, as the Board shall determine.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall determine the terms and conditions of each Other Stock Unit Award, including any purchase price applicable thereto. 
(b)    Dividends.  Unless otherwise provided by the Board, in its sole discretion, a grant of an Other Stock Unit Award shall not entitle Participants with the right to receive Dividend Equivalents.  Dividend Equivalents, if any, may be settled in cash and/or shares of Common Stock and must be subject to the same restrictions on transfer and forfeitability as the Other Stock Unit Award with respect to which paid.   
		
	11.

(a)    Changes in Capitalization.  In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, reclassification of shares, spin-off or other similar change in capitalization or event, or any distribution to holders of Common Stock other than an ordinary cash dividend, (i) the number and class of securities available under this Plan, (ii) the share counting rules set forth in Section 4(b), (iii) the sublimits contained in Section 4(c), (iv) the number and class of securities and exercise price per share of each outstanding Option, (v) the share- and per-share provisions of each Stock Appreciation Right, (vi) the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award and Restricted Stock Unit and (vii) the share- and per-share-related provisions of each outstanding Other Stock Unit Award, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Company (or substituted Awards may be made, if applicable) to the extent determined by the Board.

	the consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or share exchange involving the Company or a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), unless, immediately following such Business Combination, each of the following two conditions is satisfied: (x) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, respectively, of the resulting or acquiring corporation in such Business Combination (which shall include, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) (such resulting or acquiring corporation is referred to herein as the “Acquiring Corporation”) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, respectively, immediately prior to such Business Combination and (y) no Person (excluding any employee benefit plan (or related trust) maintained or sponsored by the Company or by the Acquiring Corporation) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 30% or more of the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Acquiring Corporation, or of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination); or 


		
	(iii)
	The liquidation or dissolution of the Company.  


(c)    “Good Reason” shall mean any significant diminution in the Participant’s title, authority, or responsibilities from and after such Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event, as the case may be, or any reduction in the annual cash compensation payable to the Participant from and after such Reorganization 

8




 


Event or Change in Control Event, as the case may be, or the relocation of the place of business at which the Participant is principally located to a location that is greater than 50 miles from its location immediately prior to such Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event.  
(d)    “Cause” shall mean: 
		
	(i)
	any willful failure by the Participant, which failure is not cured within 30 days of written notice to the Participant from the Company, to perform his or her material responsibilities to the Company; or 


		
	(ii)
	any willful misconduct by the Participant which affects the business reputation of the Company.  


(2)    Effect on Options.  
(a)    Reorganization Event.  Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event (regardless of whether such event also constitutes a Change in Control Event), or the execution by the Company of any agreement with respect to a Reorganization Event (regardless of whether such event will result in a Change in Control Event), the Board shall provide that all outstanding Options shall be assumed, or equivalent options shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if such Reorganization Event also constitutes a Change in Control Event, except to the extent specifically provided to the contrary in the instrument evidencing any Option or any other agreement between a Participant and the Company (A) one-half of the number of shares subject to the Option which were not already vested shall be exercisable upon the occurrence of such Reorganization Event and, subject to (B) below, the remaining one-half of such number of shares shall continue to become vested in accordance with the original vesting schedule set forth in such option, with one-half of the number of shares that would otherwise have become vested on each subsequent vesting date in accordance with the original schedule becoming vested on each subsequent vesting date and (B) such assumed or substituted options shall become immediately exercisable in full if, on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Reorganization Event, the Participant’s employment with the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation is terminated for Good Reason by the Participant or is terminated without Cause by the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation.  For purposes hereof, an Option shall be considered to be assumed if, following consummation of the Reorganization Event, the Option confers the right to purchase, for each share of Common Stock subject to the Option immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event, the consideration (whether cash, securities or other property) received as a result of the Reorganization Event by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that if the consideration received as a result of the Reorganization Event is not solely common stock of the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof), the Company may, with the consent of the acquiring or succeeding corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of Options to consist solely of common stock of the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) equivalent in value (as determined by the Board) to the per share consideration received by holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock as a result of the Reorganization Event.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Plan, if the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) does not agree to assume, or substitute for, such Options, or in the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Board shall, upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all then unexercised Options will become exercisable in full as of a specified time prior to the Reorganization Event and will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such Reorganization Event, except to the extent exercised by the Participants before the consummation of such Reorganization Event; provided, however, that in the event of a Reorganization Event under the terms of which holders of Common Stock will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share of Common Stock surrendered pursuant to such Reorganization Event (the “Acquisition Price”), then the Board may instead provide that all outstanding Options shall terminate upon consummation of such Reorganization Event and that each Participant shall receive, in exchange therefor, a cash payment equal to the amount (if any) by which (A) the Acquisition Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such outstanding Options (whether or not then exercisable), exceeds (B) the aggregate exercise price of such Options.  
(b)    Change in Control Event that is not a Reorganization Event.  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event that does not also constitute a Reorganization Event, except to the extent 

9




 


specifically provided to the contrary in the instrument evidencing any Option or any other agreement between a Participant and the Company, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the vesting schedule of such Option shall be accelerated in part so that one-half of the number of shares that would otherwise have first become vested on any date after the date of the Change in Control Event shall immediately become exercisable.  The remaining one-half of such number of shares shall continue to become vested in accordance with the original vesting schedule set forth in such Option, with one-half of the number of shares that would otherwise have become vested on each subsequent vesting date in accordance with the original schedule becoming vested on each such subsequent vesting date; provided, however, that each such Option shall be immediately exercisable in full if, on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Change in Control Event, the Participant’s employment with the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation is terminated for Good Reason by the Participant or is terminated without Cause by the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation.  
(3)    Effect on Restricted Stock Awards.  
(a)    Reorganization Event.  Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event (regardless of whether such event also constitutes a Change in Control Event), the repurchase and other rights of the Company under each outstanding Restricted Stock Award shall inure to the benefit of the Company’s successor and shall apply to the cash, securities or other property which the Common Stock was converted into or exchanged for pursuant to such Reorganization Event in the same manner and to the same extent as they applied to such Restricted Stock Award.  
(b)    Change in Control Event.  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event (regardless of whether such event also constitutes a Reorganization Event), except to the extent specifically provided to the contrary in the instrument evidencing any Restricted Stock Award or any other agreement between a Participant and the Company, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the vesting schedule of all Restricted Stock Awards shall be accelerated in part so that one-half of the number of shares that would otherwise have first become free from conditions or restrictions on any date after the date of the Change in Control Event shall immediately become free from conditions or restrictions.  Subject to the following sentence, the remaining one-half of such number of shares shall continue to become free from conditions or restrictions in accordance with the original schedule set forth in such Award, with one-half of the number of shares that would otherwise have become free from conditions or restrictions on each subsequent vesting date in accordance with the original schedule becoming free from conditions or restrictions on each subsequent vesting date.  In addition, each such Award shall immediately become free from all conditions or restrictions if, on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Change in Control Event, the Participant’s employment with the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation is terminated for Good Reason by the Participant or is terminated without Cause by the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation.  
(4)    Effect on Restricted Stock Unit Awards.  
(a)    Reorganization Event.  Upon the occurrence of a Reorganization Event (regardless of whether such event constitutes a Change in Control Event), the Board shall provide that all outstanding Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be assumed, or an equivalent award providing for Restricted Stock Units shall be substituted, by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, if such Reorganization Event also constitutes both a Change in Control Event and a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i), except to the extent specifically provided to the contrary in the instrument evidencing any Award or any other agreement between the Participant and the Company, (A) one-half of the number of Restricted Stock Units that vest after the Reorganization Event shall immediately vest in full as of the consummation of the Reorganization Event and, subject to (B) below, the remaining one-half of the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest in accordance with the original schedule set forth in such Restricted Stock Unit Award, with one-half of the number of Restricted Stock Units that would otherwise have become vested on each subsequent vesting date in accordance with the original schedule becoming vested on each subsequent vesting date and (B) such assumed or substituted Restricted Stock Unit award shall immediately become vested in full if, on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Reorganization Event, the Participant’s employment with the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation is terminated for Good Reason (as defined in Section 11(b)(4)(c) below) by the Participant or is terminated without Cause by the Company or the acquiring or succeeding corporation.  For purposes hereof, a Restricted Stock Unit Award shall be considered to be assumed if, following consummation of the Reorganization Event, the Restricted Stock Unit Award confers the right to receive upon vesting and conversion for each Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event, the consideration (whether cash, securities or other property) received as a result of the Reorganization Event 

10




 


by holders of Common Stock for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to the consummation of the Reorganization Event (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock); provided, however, that if the consideration received as a result of the Reorganization Event is not solely common stock of the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) (or if holders of Common Stock were offered a choice of consideration and the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock was not common stock of the acquiring or succeeding corporation), the Company may, with the consent of the acquiring or succeeding corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the vesting and conversion of Restricted Stock Units to consist solely of common stock of the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) equivalent in value (as determined by the Board of Directors) to the per share consideration received by holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock as a result of the Reorganization Event.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in the Plan, if the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof) does not agree to assume, or substitute for, a Restricted Stock Unit Award, or in the event of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the Board of Directors shall, upon written notice to the Participant, (A) provide that all then unvested Restricted Stock Units that are exempt from Section 409A will vest in full as of immediately prior to the Reorganization Event; provided, however, that in the event of a Reorganization Event under the terms of which holders of Common Stock will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share of Common Stock surrendered pursuant to such Reorganization Event (the “Acquisition Price”), then the Board of Directors may instead provide that all such unvested Restricted Stock Units shall terminate upon consummation of such Reorganization Event and that the Participant shall receive, in exchange therefor, a cash payment equal to the amount equal to the Acquisition Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under such unvested Restricted Stock Units; and (B) provide that all then unvested Restricted Stock Units that are not exempt from Section 409A shall be treated in the same manner Restricted Stock Units subject to clause (A) if such Reorganization Event also is a “change in control event” as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5(i) and if not, shall be terminated as of the Reorganization Event without any payment for the unvested Restricted Stock Units.  
(b)    Change in Control Event that is not a Reorganization Event.  Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event that also is a “change in control event” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(i) that does not constitute a Reorganization Event, except to the extent specifically provided to the contrary in the instrument evidencing any award or any other agreement between the Participant and the Company, (A) one-half of the number of Restricted Stock Units that vest after the Change in Control Event shall immediately vest in full as of the consummation of the Change in Control Event and be converted and delivered to the Participant and, subject to (B) below, the remaining one-half of the number of unvested Restricted Stock Units shall continue to vest in accordance with the original schedule set forth in such Restricted Stock Unit Award, with one-half of the number of Restricted Stock Units that would otherwise have become vested on each subsequent vesting date in accordance with the original schedule becoming vested on each subsequent vesting date and (B) such Restricted Stock Unit Award shall immediately become vested in full if, on or prior to the first anniversary of the date of the consummation of the Change in Control Event, the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for Good Reason (as defined in Section 11(b)(4)(c) below) by the Participant or is terminated without Cause by the Company.  
(c)    Definition of Good Reason for the purposes this Section 11(b)(4) of the Plan.  
		
	(i)
	For any Restricted Stock Unit Awards granted on or before December 10, 2009, “Good Reason” shall mean good reason as defined in Section 11(b)(1)(c) of the Plan.  


		
	(ii)
	For any Restricted Stock Unit Awards granted after December 10, 2009, “Good Reason” shall mean any significant diminution in the Participant’s title, authority, or responsibilities from and after such Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event, as the case may be, or any material reduction in the annual cash compensation payable to the Participant from and after such Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event, as the case may be, or the relocation of the place of business at which the Participant is principally located to a location that is greater than 50 miles from its location immediately prior to such Reorganization Event or Change in Control Event.  Notwithstanding the occurrence of any such event or circumstance, such occurrence 



11




 


shall not be deemed to constitute Good Reason unless (x) the Participant gives the Company notice of termination no more than 90 days after the initial existence of such event or circumstance, (y) such event or circumstance has not been fully corrected by the Company within 30 days of the Company’s receipt of such notice and (z) the Participant’s termination occurs within 60 days following the Company’s receipt of such notice.  
(5)    Effect on Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Stock Unit Awards.  The Board may specify in an Award at the time of the grant the effect of a Reorganization Event and Change in Control Event on any SAR or Other Stock Unit Award.  
		
	12.
	General Provisions Applicable to Awards 


(a)    Transferability of Awards.  Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, other than in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, and, during the life of the Participant, shall be exercisable only by the Participant; provided, however, that the Board may permit or provide in an Award for the gratuitous transfer of the Award by the Participant to or for the benefit of any immediate family member, family trust or family partnership established solely for the benefit of the Participant and/or an immediate family member thereof if, with respect to such proposed transferee, the Company would be eligible to use a Form S-8 for the registration of the sale of the Common Stock subject to such Award under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to recognize any such transfer until such time as the Participant and such permitted transferee shall, as a condition to such transfer, deliver to the Company a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company confirming that such transferee shall be bound by all of the terms and conditions of the Award.  References to a Participant, to the extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized transferees.  
(b)    Documentation.  Each Award shall be evidenced in such form (written, electronic or otherwise) as the Board shall determine.  Each Award may contain terms and conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Award agreement and this Plan, this Plan shall govern and control. 
(c)    Board Discretion.  Except as otherwise provided by the Plan, each Award may be made alone or in addition or in relation to any other Award.  The terms of each Award need not be identical, and the Board need not treat Participants uniformly.  
(d)    Termination of Status.  The Board shall determine the effect on an Award of the disability, death, retirement, authorized leave of absence or other change in the employment or other status of a Participant and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant, or the Participant’s legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary, may exercise rights under the Award.  
(e)    Withholding.  The Participant must satisfy all applicable federal, state, local, foreign or other income, employment, payroll or social tax withholding obligations before the Company will deliver cash, stock certificates or otherwise recognize ownership of Common Stock under an Award.  The Company may decide to satisfy the tax withholding obligations by deducting or withholding from salary, wages or any payment of any kind otherwise due to a Participant (including proceeds from the sale of shares obtained upon exercise, vesting or release from forfeiture of an Award).  If the Company elects not to or cannot withhold from other compensation, the Participant must pay the Company the full amount, if any, required for withholding or have a broker tender to the Company cash equal to the withholding obligations.  Payment of withholding obligations is due before the Company will issue any shares on exercise, vesting or release from forfeiture of an Award or at the same time as payment of the exercise or purchase price, unless the Company determines otherwise.  If provided for in an Award or approved by the Board in its sole discretion, a Participant may satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding obligations in whole or in part by delivery (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock, including shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, valued at their Fair Market Value; provided, however, except as otherwise provided by the Board, that the total tax withholding where stock is being used to satisfy such tax obligations cannot exceed the Company’s minimum statutory withholding obligations (based on minimum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local or foreign or other tax purposes, including employment, payroll or social taxes, that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income); and provided, further, however, that except with respect to shares retained from the Award creating the tax obligation, such shares of Common Stock, if acquired 

12




 


directly from the Company, must have been owned by the Participant for at least six months or such greater period, if any, as may be established by the Board in its discretion.  Shares used to satisfy the minimum statutory tax withholding requirements cannot be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, unfulfilled vesting or other similar requirements.
(f)    Amendment of Award.  Except as set forth in Sections 5(g) and 6(f), the Board may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Award, including but not limited to, substituting therefor another Award of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory Stock Option; provided that the Participant’s consent to such action shall be required unless the Board determines that the action, taking into account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect the Participant.  
(g)    Conditions on Delivery of Stock.  The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions from shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions of the Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company, (ii) in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, all other legal matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been satisfied, including any applicable securities laws and any applicable stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations.  
(h)    Acceleration.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Board may at any time provide that any Award shall become immediately exercisable in full or in part, free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise realizable in full or in part, as the case may be.  
		
	13.
	Miscellaneous 


(a)    No Right To Employment or Other Status.  No person shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment or any other relationship with the Company.  The Company expressly reserves the right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship with a Participant free from any liability or claim under the Plan, except as expressly provided in the applicable Award.  
(b)    No Rights As Stockholder.  Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be distributed with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder of such shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company effects a split of the Common Stock by means of a stock dividend and the exercise price of and the number of shares subject to such Option are adjusted as of the date of the distribution of the dividend (rather than as of the record date for such dividend), then an optionee who exercises an Option between the record date and the distribution date for such stock dividend shall be entitled to receive, on the distribution date, the stock dividend with respect to the shares of Common Stock acquired upon such Option exercise, notwithstanding the fact that such shares were not outstanding as of the close of business on the record date for such stock dividend.  
(c)    Effective Date and Term of Plan.  The 2006 Stock Incentive Plan became effective on the Initial Effective Date.  The Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was approved by the Board on December 12, 2013 and shall become effective on the Amended Effective Date.  No Awards shall be granted under the Plan after the completion of seven (7) years from the Amended Effective Date, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that date.  
(d)    Amendment of Plan.  Except as set forth in Sections 5(g) and 6(f), the Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that (i) to the extent required by Section 162(m), no Award granted to a Participant that is intended to comply with Section 162(m) after the date of such amendment shall become exercisable, realizable or vested, as applicable to such Award, unless and until such amendment shall have been approved by the Company’s stockholders if required by Section 162(m) (including the vote required under Section 162(m)); (ii) no amendment that would require stockholder approval under the rules of NASDAQ may be made effective unless and until such amendment shall have been approved by the Company’s stockholders; and (iii) if NASDAQ amends its corporate governance rules so that such rules no longer require stockholder approval of “material revisions” to equity compensation plans, then, from and after the effective date of such amendment to the NASDAQ rules, no amendment to the Plan (A) materially increasing the number of shares authorized under the Plan (other than pursuant to Section 11), (B) expanding the types of Awards that may be granted under the Plan, or (C) materially expanding the class of participants eligible to participate in the Plan shall 

13




 


be effective unless stockholder approval is obtained.  In addition, if at any time the approval of the Company’s stockholders is required as to any other modification or amendment under Section 422 of the Code or any successor provision with respect to Incentive Stock Options, the Board may not effect such modification or amendment without such approval. 
(e)    Provisions for Foreign Participants.  The Board may modify Awards granted to Participants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or establish subplans or procedures under the Plan to recognize differences in laws, rules, regulations or customs of such foreign jurisdictions with respect to tax, securities, currency, employee benefit or other matters.  
(f)    Section 409A.  
(1)    It is the intent of the Company that any deferral of the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares of Common Stock that the Board may permit or require and Award that is granted that is subject to Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) comply with the requirements of Section 409A; provided that no guaranty is made by the Company to Participants that Awards will so comply.  
(2)    The following provisions apply to each Award granted or outstanding under this Plan that are intended to comply with (and not be exempt from) Section 409A: (i) each delivery of shares or cash under each such Award shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A; (ii) notwithstanding anything in the Award or in the Plan to the contrary, neither the Participant nor the Company may accelerate or defer the delivery of the cash or shares under the Award to a date other than those specified in the Award unless specifically permitted or required by Section 409A; (iii) if a Participant becomes a “specified employee” of the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A) and any of the shares or cash to be delivered under each such Award may be delivered on account of the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then any shares or cash that otherwise would have been delivered within the six month period following the separation from service shall be delivered on the date that is six months and one day following the separation from service, with any remaining delivery of shares or cash to be made in accordance with the terms of the Award.  
(3)    Notwithstanding Section 13(f)(2)(iii), if a Participant was granted an Award that is intended to comply with (and not be exempt from) Section 409A on or before December 10, 2009, and the Participant becomes a “specified employee” of the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A) and any of the shares or cash to be delivered under each such Award may be delivered on account of the Participant’s “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A), then instead of Section 13(f)(2)(iii) applying, any shares or cash that otherwise would have been delivered within the six month period following the separation from service shall be delivered on the later of (i) the date that is six months and one day following the separation from service, or (ii) July 1, 2010, with any remaining delivery of shares or cash to be made in accordance with the terms of the Award.  
(g)    Governing Law.  The provisions of the Plan and all Awards made hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such state that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.  
Last update: December 12, 2013

	Exercise of a French-qualified Option 


(a)    At the time a French-qualified Option is effectively granted, the Committee shall fix the period within which the French-qualified Option vests and may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the French-qualified Option may be exercised.  Specifically, the Committee may provide for a restriction period measured from the Grant Date, for the vesting or the exercise of a French-qualified Option, or for the sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of a French-qualified Option, designed to obtain the favorable tax and social security treatment pursuant to Section 163 bis C of the French Tax Code, as amended.  Such restriction period for the vesting or the exercise of a French-qualified Option or the sale of Shares shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.  The holding period of the Shares acquired upon exercise of a French-qualified Option shall not exceed three (3) years as from the exercise date of a French-qualified Option, or such other period as may be required to comply with French law.  
(b)    Upon exercise of a French-qualified Option, the full Exercise Price and any required withholding tax or social security contributions, if any, shall be paid by the French Participant as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.  Under a cashless exercise program, the French Participant may give irrevocable instructions to a stockbroker to properly deliver the Exercise Price to the Company.  No delivery, surrender or attestation to the ownership of previously owned Shares may be used to pay the Exercise Price.

	7.
	Interpretation 


In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this French Plan and the U.S. Plan, the provisions of this French Plan shall control for any grants of French-qualified Options made to French Participants.  
It is intended that Options granted under this French Plan shall qualify for the favorable tax and social security treatment applicable to stock options granted under Sections L. 225-177 to L. 225-186-1 of the French Commercial Code, as amended, and in accordance with the relevant provisions set forth by French tax law and the French tax administration, but no undertaking is made by the Company to maintain such status.

If a French Participant dies or ceases to be employed by the Company or a French Subsidiary or any Affiliate by reason of his or her Disability (as defined in this French Plan), the French Participant’s heirs or the disabled French Participant, as applicable, shall not be subject to the restrictions on the sale or transfer of Shares set forth in Section III.1(b) of this French Plan.
