Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall not constitute a 



3







 




Termination
of Employment. For example, a change in status from an employee of the Company to a consultant to a Subsidiary or Affiliate shall not constitute a Termination of Employment. A Participant
employed by, or performing services for, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate shall be deemed to incur a Termination of Employment if the Subsidiary or Affiliate ceases to be such a Subsidiary or an
Affiliate, as the case may be, and the Participant does not immediately thereafter become an employee of, or service-provider for, the Company or another Subsidiary or Affiliate. The Plan
Administrator or the chief executive officer of the Company, in that party's sole discretion, may determine whether a Termination of Employment shall be considered to have occurred (and whether
vesting in any outstanding Awards shall continue or be suspended) in the case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including sick leave, military leave or any other personal leave. 




Section 2. Administration  


        (a)   The
Plan shall be administered by (i) the Board or (ii) one or more committees of the Board to whom the Board has delegated all or part of its authority
under the Plan (the "Plan Administrator"). If administration is delegated to a committee, the committee shall have, in connection with the
administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative powers the committee is authorized to exercise
(and references in the Plan to the Plan Administrator shall thereafter be to the subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be
adopted from time to time by the Board. The Board may abolish any committee at any time and revest in the Board the administration of the Plan. Any committee under clause (ii) hereof which
makes grants to "officers" of the Company (as that term is defined in Rule 16a-1(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act) or which makes Awards that are intended to be Qualified
Performance-Based Awards shall be composed solely of two or more Outside Directors. For purposes of the preceding provisions, if one or more members of the committee is not an Outside Director, but
recuses himself or herself or abstains from voting with respect to a particular action taken by the committee, then the committee, with respect to the action, will be deemed to consist only of the
members of the committee who have not recused themselves or abstained from voting. 


        (b)   The
Plan Administrator shall have plenary authority to grant Awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan to Participants. 


        (c)   Among
other things, the Plan Administrator shall have the authority, subject to the terms of the Plan: 



        (i)    To
select the Participants to whom Awards may from time to time be granted; 


        (ii)   To
determine whether and to what extent any type of Award is to be granted hereunder; 


        (iii)  To
determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award granted hereunder; 


        (iv)  To
determine the terms and conditions of any Award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, the Option Price (subject to Section 5(a)), any vesting
condition, restriction or limitation (which may be related to the performance of the Participant, the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate) and any vesting acceleration or forfeiture waiver
regarding any Award and the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based on such factors as the Plan Administrator shall determine); 



        (v)   Subject
to the terms of the Plan, including without limitation Section 11, to modify, amend or adjust the terms and conditions of any Award, at any time or from
time to time, including but not limited to Performance Goals; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator may not adjust upwards the amount payable to a Covered Employee with respect to a Qualified 



4







 




Performance-Based
Award or waive or alter the Performance Goals associated therewith in a manner that would violate Section 162(m) of the Code; 



        (vi)  To
determine to what extent and under what circumstances Common Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred; 


        (vii) To
effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of any adversely affected Participant, (1) the reduction of the exercise price of any outstanding
Award under the Plan, (2) the cancellation of any outstanding Award under the Plan and the grant in substitution therefor of (A) a new Award under the Plan with a lower Option Price
covering the same or a different number of shares of Common Stock, (B) the right to acquire restricted stock, and/or (C) cash, or (3) any other action that is treated as a
"repricing" under generally accepted accounting principles; and 



        (viii) To
determine under what circumstances an Award may be settled in cash or Common Stock under Section 5(l) and Section 7(b)(iii). 




        (d)   The
Plan Administrator shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall from time
to time deem advisable, to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the Plan (and any agreement relating thereto) and to otherwise supervise the administration of the
Plan. The Plan Administrator, in the exercise of this power, may correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement, in a manner and to the extent it shall deem
necessary or expedient to make the Plan fully effective. 


        (e)   The
Plan Administrator may act only by a majority of its members then in office. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock
exchange on which the Company's shares are traded, the Plan Administrator may (i) allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and
(ii) delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it, provided that no such delegation may be made that would cause Awards or other
transactions under the Plan to cease to be exempt from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or cause an Award designated as a Qualified Performance-Based Award not to qualify for, or to cease to
qualify for, the Section 162(m) Exemption. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Plan Administrator at any time. 


        (f)    Any
determination made by the Plan Administrator with respect to any Award shall be made in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator at the time of the grant of the
Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan, at any time thereafter. All decisions made by the Plan Administrator or any appropriately delegated officer pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company, its Affiliates, Subsidiaries, shareholders and Participants. 



        (g)   Any
authority granted to the Plan Administrator may also be exercised by the full Board, except to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause
any Award or transaction to become subject to (or lose an exemption under) the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or cause an Award designated as a
Qualified Performance-Based Award not to qualify for, or to cease to qualify for, the Section 162(m) Exemption. To the extent that any permitted action taken by the Board conflicts with action
taken by the Plan Administrator, the Board action shall control. 


        (h)   To
the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each member of the Board who acts as a member of the Plan Administrator, as well as any other
employee of the Company with duties under the Plan, against expenses and liabilities (including any amount paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with any claims
against the individual by reason of the performance of the individual's duties under the Plan, unless the losses are due to the individual's 


5







 



gross
negligence or lack of good faith. The Company will have the right to select counsel and to control the prosecution or defense of the suit. In the event that more than one person who is entitled
to indemnification is subject to the same claim, all such persons shall be represented by a single counsel, unless such counsel advises the Company in writing that he or she cannot represent all such
persons under applicable rules of professional responsibility. The Company will not be required to indemnify any person for any amount incurred through any settlement unless the Company consents in
writing to the settlement. 


Section 3. Common Stock Subject to Plan  


        (a)   The
maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be delivered to Participants and their beneficiaries under the Plan shall be 25,000. Shares subject to an Award
under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or may be treasury shares. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Stock Options intended to be Incentive Stock
Options shall be 25,000 shares. 


        (b)   For
purposes of this Section 3, if an Award entitles the holder thereof to receive or purchase shares, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such Award
or to which such Award relates shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of shares available for granting Awards under the Plan. If any Award is forfeited, or if
any Stock Option terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, shares of Common Stock subject to such Awards shall again be available for distribution in connection with Awards under the
Plan. If the Option Price of any Stock Option is satisfied by delivering shares of Common Stock to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of shares of Common Stock
delivered to the Participant net of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company or attested to shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum numbers of shares of Common
Stock available for delivery under the Plan. To the extent any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award are not delivered to a Participant because such shares are used to satisfy an applicable
tax-withholding obligation, such shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under the
Plan. If any shares of Common Stock issued to a Participant pursuant to an Award are forfeited back to or repurchased by the Company because of or in connection with the failure to meet a contingency
or condition required to vest such shares in the Participant, the shares of Common Stock forfeited or repurchased under such Award shall revert to and again become available for issuance under the
Plan. 


        (c)   In
the event of any change in corporate capitalization (including, but not limited to, a change in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding), such as a stock
split or a corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, separation, including a spin-off, or other distribution of stock or property of the Company (including any
extraordinary cash or stock dividend), any reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the Code) or any partial or complete
liquidation of the Company, the Plan Administrator or Board may make such substitution or adjustments in the aggregate number and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, and the maximum
limitation upon Stock Options and other Awards to be granted to any Participant, in the number, kind and Option Price of shares subject to outstanding Stock Options, in the number and kind of shares
subject to other outstanding Awards granted under the Plan and/or such other equitable substitution or adjustments as it may determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion (including, without
limitation, an amount in cash therefor); provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. 



        (d)   No
fractional shares may be issued under the Plan. Cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional share in settlement of an Award. 


6







 



Section 4. Eligibility  


        Awards may be granted under the Plan to Eligible Individuals; provided, however, that a consultant shall not be eligible for the grant of an Award of a Stock
Option or Restricted Stock if, at the time of grant, a Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act
("Form S-8") is not available to register either the offer or the sale of the Company's securities to such consultant because of the
nature of the services that the consultant is providing to the Company, because the consultant is not a natural person, or because of any other rule governing the use of Form S-8,
unless the Plan Administrator determines both (i) that such grant (A) shall be registered in another manner under the Securities Act
(e.g., on a Form S-3 Registration Statement) or (B) does not require registration under the Securities Act in order to comply
with the requirements of the Securities Act, if applicable, and (ii) that such grant complies with the securities laws of all other relevant jurisdictions. 


Section 5. Stock Options  


        (a)   Stock
Options may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan and may be of two types: Incentive Stock Options and NonQualified Stock Options.
Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Plan Administrator may from time to time approve. 


        (b)   The
Plan Administrator shall have the authority to grant any Participant Incentive Stock Options, NonQualified Stock Options or both types of Stock Options; provided,
however, that grants hereunder are subject to the limits on grants set forth in Section 3. To the extent that any Stock Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option or even if so
designated does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option on or subsequent to its grant date, it shall constitute a NonQualified Stock Option. 


        (c)   Stock
Options shall be evidenced by Award Agreements, the terms and provisions of which may differ. An Award Agreement shall indicate on its face whether it is intended
to be an agreement for an Incentive Stock Option or a NonQualified Stock Option. The grant of a Stock Option shall occur on the date the Plan Administrator by resolution selects a Participant to
receive a grant of a Stock Option, determines the number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to such Stock Option to be granted to such Participant and specifies the terms and provisions of the
Stock Option. The Company shall notify a Participant of any grant of a Stock Option, and such Award shall be confirmed by, and subject to the terms of, an Award Agreement. 


        (d)   Stock
Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Plan
Administrator shall deem desirable: 



          (i)  Option Price. The Plan Administrator shall determine the option price per share of Common Stock purchasable under a
Stock Option (the "Option Price"). The Option Price per share of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to such Stock Option on
the date of grant. 


         (ii)  Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator, but no Incentive Stock Option shall
be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Stock Option is granted. 


        (iii)  Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided herein, Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and
subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator. If the Plan Administrator provides that any Stock Option is subject to vesting conditions, restrictions or
limitations and therefore exercisable only in installments, the Plan Administrator may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Plan
Administrator may determine. An Award Agreement may, but need not, include a provision whereby the Participant may elect at any time before the Participant's Termination of Employment to exercise the
Stock Option as to any part or all of the 



7







 




shares
of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option prior to the full vesting of the Stock Option. Any unvested shares of Common Stock so purchased may be subject to a repurchase option in favor of the
Company or to any other restriction the Plan Administrator determines to be appropriate. The Company will not exercise its repurchase option until at least six (6) months (or such longer or
shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following exercise of the Stock Option unless the Plan Administrator otherwise
specifically provides in the Stock Option. 


        (iv)  Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, Stock Options may be exercised, in whole or in
part, at any time during the option term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Stock Option to be purchased. Such notice
shall be accompanied by payment in full of the Option Price by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may accept. If approved by the Plan Administrator, payment, in full or in
part, may also be made in the form of unrestricted Common Stock (by delivery of such shares or by attestation) already owned by the Participant of the same class as the Common Stock subject to the
Stock Option (based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Stock Option is exercised); provided, that such already owned shares have been held by the Participant for at least six
months (or such longer or shorter period of time required to avoid a charge to earnings for financial accounting purposes) at the time of exercise or had been purchased on the open market; and
provided, further, that, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the right to make a payment in the form of already owned shares of Common Stock of the same class
as the Common Stock subject to the Stock Option may be authorized only at the time the Stock Option is granted. If approved by the Plan Administrator, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
payment in full or in part may also be made by delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company, together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the
Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds necessary to pay the Option Price, and, if requested, the amount of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding taxes. To facilitate the foregoing, the
Company may enter into agreements for coordinated procedures with one or more brokerage firms. No shares of Common Stock shall be delivered until full payment therefor has been made. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 5 below, a Participant shall have all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company holding the class or series of Common Stock that is subject to such Stock
Option (including, if applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive dividends), when the Participant has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such shares and, if
requested by the Company, has given the representation described in Section 12(f). 


         (v)  Special Rules Applicable to Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following terms shall be
applicable to all Incentive Stock Options. 



        (A)  Incentive
Stock Options may only be granted to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the
Code). 


        (B)  The
aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any
employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Company or any subsidiaries or parent corporation) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Stock Options during any one
(1) calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent an employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first
time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive Stock Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted.
Any Stock Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit shall be treated as NonQualified Stock Options, notwithstanding any other provision of an Award Agreement, but only to the extent of such
excess. 




8







 





        (C)  If
any employee to whom an Incentive Stock Option is granted is the owner of stock (as determined under Code Section 424(d)) possessing more than ten percent
(10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any subsidiary or parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code)), then the option
term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date and the Option Price shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of Common Stock on
the option grant date. 


        (D)  If
an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the post-termination exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock
Option will thereafter be treated as a NonQualified Stock Option. 





        (e)   Nontransferability of Stock Options. No Stock Option shall be transferable by the Participant other than (i) by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution or any other testamentary distribution; or (ii) in the case of a NonQualified Stock Option, unless otherwise determined by the Plan
Administrator, to a Permitted Transferee. All Stock Options shall be exercisable, subject to the terms of this Plan, only by the Participant, the guardian or legal representative of the Participant,
or any person to whom such option is transferred pursuant to this paragraph, it being understood that the term "holder" and "Participant" include such guardian, legal representative and other
transferee; provided, however, that Termination of Employment shall continue to refer to the Termination of Employment of the original Participant and provided further that any Award held by
transferee shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to that Award immediately before the transfer to the transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
Participant may, by delivering written notice to the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of death of the Participant, shall thereafter be entitled
to exercise the Participant's Stock Options. 


        (f)    Termination by Death. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant, if a Participant incurs
a Termination of Employment by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the Plan
Administrator may determine, until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option. 


        (g)   Termination by Reason of Disability. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant or, if a
longer period of exercise is desired, thereafter, if a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such Participant (or the appointed fiduciary of
such Participant) may thereafter be exercised by the Participant (or the appointed fiduciary of such Participant), to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination, or on such accelerated
basis as the Plan Administrator may determine, for a period of one year from the date of such Termination of Employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever
period is shorter; provided, however, that if the Participant dies within such period, any unexercised Stock Option held by such Participant shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such period,
continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option. 


        (h)   Termination by Reason of Retirement. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant or, if a
longer period of exercise is desired, thereafter, if a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment by reason of Retirement, any Stock Option held by such Participant may thereafter be exercised by
the Participant, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such Retirement, or on such accelerated basis as the Plan Administrator may determine, for a period of one year from the date of such
Termination of Employment or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter; provided, however, that if the Participant dies within such period any
unexercised Stock Option held by such Participant shall, notwithstanding the expiration 


9







 



of
such period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option. 



        (i)    Other Termination. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant or, if a longer period of
exercise is desired, thereafter: (A) if a Participant incurs a Termination of Employment for Cause, all Stock Options held by such Participant shall thereupon terminate; and (B) if a
Participant incurs a Termination of Employment for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement or for Cause, any Stock Option held by such Participant, to extent it was then exercisable at the
time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Plan Administrator may determine, may be exercised for a period of three months from the date of such Termination of Employment or until the
expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter; provided, however, that if the Participant dies within such three-month period, any unexercised Stock Option held by
such Participant shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such three-month period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death until the expiration of the
stated term of such Stock Option. 


        (j)    Extension of Termination Date. An Award Agreement may also provide that if the exercise of any Stock Option following the
termination of the Participant's Termination of Employment (other than upon the Participant's death) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate
the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Stock Option held by such Participant may be exercised, in lieu of the periods specified in Section 5(f) through 5(i), during
the three (3) month period after the Participant's Termination of Employment in which the exercise of the Stock Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements or until the
expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter. 


        (k)   Change of Control Termination. A Stock Option held by any Participant whose has not suffered a Termination of Employment
prior to the effective time of a Change in Control may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after such event as may be provided in the Award Agreement for such
Stock Option or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate and the Participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration
shall occur. 


        (l)    Cashing Out of Stock Option. On receipt of written notice of exercise, the Plan Administrator may elect to cash out all
or part of the portion of the shares of Common Stock for which a Stock Option is being exercised by paying the Participant an amount, in cash or Common Stock, equal to the excess of the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock over the Option Price times the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Option is being exercised on the effective date of such cash-out. 


Section 6. Restricted Stock  


        (a)   Administration. Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the
Plan. The Plan Administrator shall determine the Participants to whom and the time or times at which grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded to any Participant,
the conditions for vesting, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture and any other terms and conditions of the Awards, in addition to those contained in
Section 6(c). 


        (b)   Awards and Certificates. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced in such manner as the Plan Administrator may deem
appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of one or more stock certificates. Any certificate issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock shall be registered in 


10







 



the
name of such Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the following form: 



"The
transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including forfeiture) of CROCS, INC. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan and
an Award Agreement. Copies of such Plan and Agreement are on file at the offices of CROCS, INC." 




The
Plan Administrator may require that the certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that, as a condition of any Award
of Restricted Stock, the Participant shall have delivered a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such Award. 


        (c)   Terms and Conditions. Shares of Restricted Stock shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 



          (i)  The
Plan Administrator may, prior to or at the time of grant, designate an Award of Restricted Stock as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, in which event it shall
condition the grant or vesting, as applicable, of such Restricted Stock upon the attainment of Performance Goals. If the Plan Administrator does not designate an Award of Restricted Stock as a
Qualified Performance-Based Award, it may also condition the grant or vesting thereof upon the attainment of Performance Goals. Regardless of whether an Award of Restricted Stock is a Qualified
Performance-Based Award, the Plan Administrator may also condition the grant or vesting thereof upon the continued service of the Participant. The conditions for grant or vesting and the other
provisions of Restricted Stock Awards (including without limitation any applicable Performance Goals) need not be the same with respect to each recipient. The Plan Administrator may at any time, in
its sole discretion, accelerate or waive, in whole or in part, any of the foregoing restrictions; provided, however, that in the case of Restricted Stock that is a Qualified Performance-Based Award,
the applicable Performance Goals have been satisfied. 


         (ii)  Subject
to the provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement referred to in Section 6(c)(vi), during the period, if any, set by the Plan Administrator,
commencing with the date of such Award for which such Participant's continued service is required (the "Restriction Period"), and until the later of
(A) the expiration of the Restriction Period and (B) the date the applicable Performance Goals (if any) are satisfied, the Participant shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer,
pledge or otherwise encumber shares of Restricted Stock; provided that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the foregoing shall not prevent a Participant from pledging Restricted Stock as
security for a loan, the sole purpose of which is to provide funds to pay the Option Price for Stock Options. 


        (iii)  Except
as provided in this paragraph (iii) and Section 6(c)(i) and 7(c)(ii) and the Award Agreement, the Participant shall have, with
respect to the shares of Restricted Stock, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company holding the class or series of Common Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock, including, if
applicable, the right to vote the shares and the right to receive any cash dividends. If so determined by the Plan Administrator in the applicable Award Agreement and subject to Section 15(h)
of the Plan, (A) cash dividends on the class or series of Common Stock that is the subject of the Restricted Stock Award shall be automatically deferred and reinvested in additional Restricted
Stock, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Stock, or held subject to meeting Performance Goals, and (B) dividends payable in Common Stock shall be paid in the form of
Restricted Stock of the same class as the Common Stock with which such dividend was paid, held subject to the vesting of the underlying Restricted Stock, or held subject to meeting Performance Goals. 



11







 




        (iv)  Except
to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or Section 6(c)(i), 7(c)(ii), 7(c)(v) or 11(a), upon a Participant's Termination
of Employment for any reason during the
Restriction Period or before the applicable Performance Goals are satisfied, all shares still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the Participant; provided, however, that the Plan
Administrator shall have the discretion to waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining restrictions (other than, in the case of Restricted Stock with respect to which a Participant is a Covered
Employee, satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals unless the Participant's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability by the Company without Cause) with respect to any or all
of such Participant's shares of Restricted Stock. 


         (v)  If
and when any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied and the Restriction Period expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock, unlegended certificates
for such shares shall be delivered to the Participant upon surrender of the legended certificates. 


        (vi)  Each
Award shall be confirmed by, and be subject to, the terms of an Award Agreement. 




Section 7. Performance Units  


        (a)   Administration. Performance Units may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The
Plan Administrator shall determine the Participants to whom and the time or times at which Performance Units shall be awarded, the number of Performance Units to be awarded to any Participant), the
duration of the Award Cycle and any other terms and conditions of the Award, in addition to those contained in Section 7(b). 


        (b)   Terms and Conditions. Performance Units Awards shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: 



          (i)  The
Plan Administrator may, prior to or at the time of the grant, designate Performance Units as Qualified Performance-Based Awards, in which event it shall condition
the settlement thereof upon the attainment of Performance Goals. If the Plan Administrator does not designate Performance Units as Qualified Performance-Based Awards, it may also condition the
settlement thereof upon the attainment of Performance Goals. Regardless of whether Performance Units are Qualified Performance-Based Awards, the Plan Administrator may also condition the settlement
thereof upon the continued service of the Participant. The provisions of such Awards (including without limitation any applicable Performance Goals) need not be the same with respect to each
recipient. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Award Agreement referred to in Section 7(b)(iv), Performance Units may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise
encumbered during the Award Cycle. No more than 25,000 shares of Common Stock may be subject to Qualified Performance Based Awards granted to any Eligible Individual in any fiscal year of the Company. 


         (ii)  Except
to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or Section 7(b)(ii) or Section 9(a), upon a Participant's Termination of
Employment for any reason during the Award Cycle or before any applicable Performance Goals are satisfied, all rights to receive cash or stock in settlement of the Performance Units shall be forfeited
by the Participant; provided, however, that the Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to waive, in whole or in part, any or all remaining payment limitations (other than, in the case of
Performance Units that are Qualified Performance-Based Awards, satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals unless the Participant's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability by
the Company without Cause) with respect to any or all of such Participant's Performance Units. 


        (iii)  At
the expiration of the Award Cycle, the Plan Administrator shall evaluate the Company's performance in light of any Performance Goals for such Award, and shall
determine the number of Performance Units granted to the Participant which have been earned, and the Plan 



12







 




Administrator
shall then cause to be delivered (A) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of Performance Units determined by the Plan Administrator to have been earned, or
(B) cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such number of shares of Common Stock to the Participant, as the Plan Administrator shall elect. 



        (iv)  Each
Award shall be confirmed by, and be subject to, the terms of an Award Agreement. 




Section 8. Other Stock-Based Awards  


        Other Awards of Common Stock and other Awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based upon, Common Stock, including (without
limitation) dividend equivalents and convertible debentures, may be granted either alone or in conjunction with other Awards granted under the Plan. 


Section 9. Change in Control Provisions  



        (a)   Impact of Event. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, unless otherwise provided by the Plan
Administrator in any Award Agreement, in the event of a Change in Control: 



          (i)  Any
Stock Options outstanding as of the date of such Change in Control, and which are not then exercisable and vested, shall become fully exercisable and vested. 


         (ii)  The
restrictions applicable to any Restricted Stock shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall become free of all restrictions and become fully vested. 



        (iii)  All
Performance Awards shall be considered to be earned and payable in full, and any restriction shall lapse and such Performance Awards shall be settled in cash or
Shares, as determined by the Plan Administrator, as promptly as is practicable. 


        (iv)  All
restrictions on other Awards shall lapse and such Awards shall become free of all restrictions and become fully vested. 




        (b)   Definition of Change in Control. For purposes of the Plan, a "Change in
Control" shall mean the happening of any of the following events: 



          (i)  An
acquisition by any individual, entity or "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a
"Person") of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 331/3% or
more of either (1) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the "Outstanding Company Common Stock") or (2) the combined
voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the "Outstanding Company Voting
Securities"); excluding, however, the following: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company, other than an acquisition by virtue of the exercise of a conversion
privilege unless the security being so converted was itself acquired directly from the Company, (2) any acquisition by the Company, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or
related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any entity controlled by the Company, (4) any acquisition pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (1), (2) and
(3) of subsection (iii) of this Section 9(b), or (5) any Change in Control triggered solely because the percentage of Outstanding Company Common Stock or Outstanding
Company Voting Securities held by any Person (the "Subject Person") exceeds the designated percentage threshold thereof as a result of a repurchase or
other acquisition of securities by the Company reducing the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the
acquisition of securities by the Company, and after such share acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the owner of any additional voting securities that, assuming the repurchase or other 



13







 

acquisition
had not occurred, increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities owned by the Subject Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change in Control shall be
deemed to occur; or 


         (ii)  A
change in the composition of the Board such that the individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (such Board shall be hereinafter referred to as
the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, for purposes of this
Section 9(b)(ii), that any individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the Effective Date, whose election, or nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, was approved
by a vote of at least a majority of those individuals who are members of the Board and who were also members of the Incumbent Board (or deemed to be such pursuant to this proviso) shall be considered
as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; but, provided, further, that any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened
election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board shall not be so
considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or 


        (iii)  Consummation
of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company
("Corporate Transaction"); excluding, however, such a Corporate Transaction pursuant to which (1) all or substantially all of the individuals and
entities who are the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction will
beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock, and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to
vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such
transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company's assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case
may be, (2) no Person (other than the Company, any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction) will beneficially own,
directly or indirectly, 331/3% or more of, respectively, the outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Corporate Transaction or the combined voting power
of the outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Corporate Transaction,
and (3) individuals who were members of the Incumbent Board will constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Corporate
Transaction; or 


        (iv)  The
approval by the shareholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or a complete dissolution or liquidation of the Company shall
otherwise occur. 




        The
term Change in Control shall not include a sale of assets, merger or other transaction effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the Company. 


        Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any other provision of the Plan, the definition of Change in Control (or any analogous term) in an Award Agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary
and the Participant shall supersede the foregoing definition with respect to Awards subject to such agreement (it being understood, however, that if no definition of Change in Control or any analogous
term is set forth in such an Award Agreement, the foregoing definition shall apply). 


14







 



Section 10. Forfeiture of Awards  


        Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Plan Administrator shall have the authority under the Plan to provide in any Award Agreement that in the
event of serious misconduct by a Participant (including, without limitation, any misconduct prejudicial to or in conflict with the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any Termination of
Employment for Cause), or any activity of a Participant in competition with the business of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, any outstanding Award granted to such Participant shall be
cancelled, in whole or in part, whether or not vested or deferred. The determination of whether a Participant has engaged in a serious breach of conduct or any activity in competition with the
business of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in good faith and in its sole discretion. 


Section 11. Term, Amendment and Termination  


        The Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. Under the Plan, Awards outstanding as of such date shall not be affected or impaired by
the termination of the Plan. 


        The
Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would impair the rights of a Participant under a Stock Option,
Restricted Stock Award, Performance Unit Award or other Award theretofore granted without the Participant's or recipient's consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law, stock
exchange rules or accounting rules. In addition, no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company's shareholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable law or stock
exchange rules. 


        The
Plan Administrator may amend the terms of any Stock Option or other Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall cause a Qualified
Performance-Based Award to cease to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption or impair the rights of any holder without the holder's consent except such an amendment made to cause the Plan or
Award to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules. 


        Subject
to the above provisions, the Board shall have authority to amend the Plan to take into account changes in law and tax and accounting rules as well as other developments, and to
grant Awards which qualify for beneficial treatment under such rules without shareholder approval. 



Section 12. Unfunded Status of Plan  


        It is presently intended that the Plan constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Plan Administrator may authorize the creation of
trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Common Stock or make payments; provided, however, that unless the Plan Administrator otherwise determines, the
existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the "unfunded" status of the Plan. 



Section 13. General Provisions  


        (a)   Availability of Shares. During the terms of any Awards under the Plan, the Company shall keep available at all times the
number of shares of Common Stock required to satisfy such Awards. 


        (b)   Securities Law Compliance. The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction
over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the
Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Award or any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Award. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or agreements made
pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required 


15







 



to
issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: 



          (i)  Listing
or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such shares on NASDAQ, or such other securities exchange as may at the time be the principal market for the
Common Stock; 


         (ii)  Any
registration or other qualification of such shares of the Company under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such
registration or other qualification which the Plan Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and 



        (iii)  Obtaining
any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Plan Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion after
receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable. 




        (c)   Investment Assurances. The Company may require a Participant, as a condition of acquiring Common Stock under any Award,
(i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the Participant's knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative
reasonably satisfactory to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser
representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to
the Award for the Participant's own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to
such requirements, shall be inoperative if (1) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock upon the exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Award has been registered under a then
currently effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (2) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be
met in the circumstances under the then applicable securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel
deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Stock. 


        (d)   Section 16 Compliance; Section 162(m) Administration. The Plan is intended to comply in all respects with
Rule 16b-3 or any successor provision, as in effect from time to time, and in all events the Plan shall be construed in accordance with the requirements of
Rule 16b-3. If any Plan provision does not comply with Rule 16b-3 as hereafter amended or interpreted, the provision shall be deemed inoperative. The Board, in
its absolute discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan with respect to persons who are officers or directors subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act without so restricting, limiting or conditioning the Plan with respect to other Eligible Individuals. The Company intends that all Stock Options granted under the
Plan to individuals who are or who the Plan Administrator believes will be Covered Employees will constitute "qualified performance-based compensation" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of
the Code. 


        (e)   No Limit of Other Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate
from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees. 



        (f)    No Contract of Employment. The Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment, and adoption of the Plan shall not
confer upon any employee any right to continued employment, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee
at any time. 


16







 



        (g)   Tax Withholding. No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of the
Participant for federal income tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, the Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment
of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Company, withholding obligations may be
settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement; provided, that not more than the legally required minimum withholding may be
settled with Common Stock. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law,
have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Participant. The Plan Administrator may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable
elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Common Stock. 


        (h)   Dividends. Reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment shall only be
permissible if sufficient shares of Common Stock are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment (taking into account then outstanding Stock Options and other Awards). 


        (i)    Death Beneficiary. The Plan Administrator shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to
designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of the Participant's death are to be paid or by whom any rights of the Participant, after the Participant's death, may be exercised. 


        (j)    Subsidiary Employees. In the case of a grant of an Award to any employee of a Subsidiary of the Company, the Company may,
if the Plan Administrator so directs, issue or transfer the shares of Common Stock, if any, covered by the Award to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Plan Administrator may specify,
upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the shares of Common Stock to the employee in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Plan Administrator pursuant
to the provisions of the Plan. All shares of Common Stock underlying Awards that are forfeited or canceled should revert to the Company. 


        (k)   Use of Proceeds From Stock. Proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Awards shall constitute general funds of
the Company. 


        (l)    Governing Law. The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. 



        (m)  Nontransferability. Except as otherwise provided hereunder or by the Plan Administrator, Awards under the Plan are not
transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution. 


        (n)   Application to Participants Outside of the United States. In the event an Award is granted to Participant who is employed
or providing services outside the United States and who is not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, modify the provisions of
the Plan as they pertain to such individual to comply with applicable foreign law. 


Section 14. Effective Date of Plan  


        The Plan shall be effective as of the date that it is approved by the shareholders of the Company (the "Effective
Date").
