          4.2          Adjustments.  If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding changes by reason of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, the aggregate number and class of shares available for grants or awards under the Plan, together with the Option prices, shall be appropriately adjusted.

SECTION 5


Options


          5.1          Grant.  A Participant may be granted one or more Options under the Plan.  Options shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The Committee may vary, among Participants and among Options granted to the same Participant, any and all of the terms and conditions of the Options granted under the Plan.  Subject to subsection 5.7, the Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number of Options granted to each Participant.  The Committee may designate whether or not an Option is to be considered an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422(b) of the Code.  There shall be no limit on the number of Options that may be granted to a Participant in any calendar year or on the number of shares for which Options may be granted.


          5.2          Grants to Non-Employee Directors.  Options to non-employee directors shall be granted under this Plan only pursuant to this subsection 5.2 and only when and to the extent that








-4-








there are insufficient shares for such grants under the Company's 1989 Stock Option Plan.  Each non-employee director who has served a full year's term for the prior year shall automatically receive an Option to purchase 1,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock at one hundred percent (100%) of the Market Value on the date of grant.  Such Options shall be issued on the date of each annual meeting of the Company's shareholders.  These formula grant provisions may be amended by the Board from time to time but not more than once in any six-month period, except as necessary or desirable to comply with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Code or the rules thereunder.


          5.3          Option Agreements.  Each Option shall be evidenced by an Option agreement containing such terms and conditions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee from time to time determines.


          5.4          Option Price.  The per share Option price shall be determined by the Committee but shall be equal to or greater than one hundred percent (100%) of the Market Value on the date of grant.  The date of grant of an Option shall be the date the Option is authorized by the Committee or such future date specified by the Committee as the date for issuing the Option.


          5.5          Medium and Time of Payment.  The exercise price for each share purchased pursuant to an Option granted under the Plan shall be payable in cash or, if the Committee consents, in shares of Common Stock (including Common Stock to be received upon a simultaneous exercise).  The time and terms of payment may be amended with the consent of the Participant before or after exercise of the Option, but such amendment shall not reduce the Option price.  The Committee may from time to time authorize payment of all or a portion of the Option price in the form of a promissory note or installments according to such terms as the Committee may approve.  The Board may restrict or suspend the power of the Committee to permit such loans and may require that adequate security be provided.


          5.6          Options Granted to Ten Percent Shareholders.  No Option granted to any Participant who at the time of such grant owns, together with stock attributed to such Participant under Section 424(d) of the Code, more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may be designated as an incentive stock option, unless such Option provides an exercise price equal to at least one hundred ten percent (110 %) of the Market Value of the Common Stock, and the exercise of the Option after the expiration of five years from the date of grant of the Option is prohibited by its terms.


          5.7          Limits on Grants.  No Participant shall be granted, during any calendar year, Options for shares of Common Stock that would have an aggregate Market Value, as of the date or dates of grant, greater than such Participant's Base Salary.  The purpose of this subsection 5.7 is to ensure that the Plan provides performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.  This subsection 5.7 shall be interpreted or amended to achieve that purpose.


          5.8          Limits on Exercisability.  Options shall be exercisable for such periods as may be fixed by the Committee, not to exceed ten years from the grant date.  At the time of the exercise of an Option, the holder of the Option, if requested by the Committee, must represent to the Company that the shares are being acquired for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof.  The Committee may in its discretion require a Participant to continue service with the Company and its Subsidiaries for a certain length of time prior to an Option becoming exercisable and may eliminate such delayed vesting provisions.  The Committee may








-5-








also vary, among Participants and among Options granted to the same Participant, any and all of the terms and conditions of Options granted under the Plan.


          5.9          Transferability.


          (a)          General.  Unless the Committee otherwise consents or unless the terms of the Option agreement provide otherwise, no Option granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  In addition, all Options granted to a Participant during the Participant's lifetime shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by such Participant.


          (b)          Other Restrictions.  The Committee may impose such restrictions on any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option under the Plan as it deems advisable, including, without limitations restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws.



          5.10          Termination of Employment or Director or Officer Status.


          (a)          General.  If a Participant ceases to be employed by or an officer or director of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for any reason other than the Participant's death, disability or termination for cause, the Participant may exercise an Option only for a period of three months after such termination of employment, director or officer status, but only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option on the date of termination, unless the Committee otherwise consents or the terms of the Option agreement provide otherwise.  For purposes of the Plan, the following shall not be deemed a termination of employment or termination as a director or officer: (i) a transfer of an employee from the Company to any Subsidiary; (ii) a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company, for military service or for any other purpose approved by the Company if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days; (iii) a leave of absence in excess of 90 days, duly authorized in writing by the Company, provided the employee's right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or contract; or (iv) a termination of employment with continued service as a director or officer.


          (b)          Death.  If a Participant dies either while an employee or officer of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or after the termination of employment other than for cause but during the time when the Participant could have exercised an Option under the Plan, or if a director dies while serving as a director of the Company or after ceasing to be a director but during such time as the director (or former director) could have exercised an Option under the Plan, the Option issued to such Participant shall be exercisable by the personal representative of such Participant or other successor to the interest of the Participant for a period of three months after the Participant's death, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option on the date of death or termination of employment or director status, whichever first occurred, unless the Committee otherwise consents or the terms of the Option agreement provide otherwise.








-6-









          (c)          Disability.  If a Participant ceases to be an employee, officer or director of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries due to the Participant's disability, the Participant may exercise an Option for a period of one year following such termination of employment or status as a director or officer, but only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option on the date of such event, unless the Committee otherwise consents or the terms of the Option agreement provide otherwise.


          (d)          Termination for Cause.  If a Participant is terminated for cause, the Participant shall have no further right to exercise any outstanding unexercised Option issued under the Plan.





SECTION 6


Restricted Stock


          6.1          Grant.  A Participant may be granted Restricted Stock under the Plan.  Restricted Stock shall be subject to such terms and conditions, consistent with the other provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  Restricted Stock shall be awarded on the condition that the Participant remain in the employ of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries during the Restricted Period.  Such condition shall have no effect on the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the Participant's employment at any time.  No payment is required from a Participant for an award of Restricted Stock.


          6.2          Restricted Stock Agreements.  Each award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock agreement containing such terms and conditions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee from time to time determines.


          6.3          Termination of Employment or Director or Officer Status.


          (a)          General.  If a Participant enters into Competition with the Company or ceases to be employed by or an officer or director of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries for any reason other than the Participant's death, disability or Retirement, then any shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restrictions on the date of such termination shall automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company.  For purposes of the Plan, the following shall not be deemed a termination of employment or termination as a director or officer: (i) a transfer of an employee from the Company to any Subsidiary; (ii) a leave of absence, duly authorized in writing by the Company, for military service or for any other purpose approved by the Company if the period of such leave does not exceed 90 days; (iii) a leave of absence in excess of 90 days, duly authorized in writing by the Company, provided the employee's right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or contract; or (iv) a termination of employment with continued service as a director or officer.








- 7 -









          (b)          Death or Disability.  Unless the terms of the Restricted Stock agreement or grant provide otherwise, in the event a Participant terminates employment or director or officer status with the Company because of death or disability during the Restricted Period, the Participant's right to all of the Participant's Restricted Stock shall vest as of the date of death or disability, and the Participant's Restricted Stock may be transferred free of any restrictions under the Plan, except any restrictions as the Company may reasonably specify to ensure compliance with federal and state securities laws.


          (c)          Retirement.  Unless the Committee otherwise consents or unless the terms of the Restricted Stock agreement or grant provide otherwise, in the event a Participant terminates employment or director or officer status with the Company because of Retirement during the Restricted Period, then any shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restrictions on the date of Retirement shall automatically be forfeited and returned to the Company.



          6.4          Restrictions on Transferability.


          (a)          General.  Unless the Committee otherwise consents or unless the terms of the Restricted Stock agreement provide otherwise, shares of Restricted Stock shall not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of by a Participant during the Restricted Period other than to the Company pursuant to subsection 6.3 or 6.4(b) or by will or the laws of descent and distribution.


          (b)          Surrender to the Company.  If any sale, exchange, transfer, pledge or other disposition, voluntary or involuntary, of Restricted Stock that has not vested shall be made or attempted during the Restricted Period, except as provided above in subsections 6.3 and 6.4(a), the Participant's right to the Restricted Stock shall immediately cease and terminate, and the Participant shall promptly surrender to the Company all such Restricted Stock in the Participant's possession.


          (c)          Other Restrictions.  The Committee may impose other restrictions on any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an award of Restricted Stock as the Committee deems advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws.



          6.5          Rights as a Shareholder.  During the Restricted Period, a Participant shall have all rights of a shareholder with respect to his Restricted Stock, including (a) the right to vote any shares at shareholders' meetings; (b) the right to receive, without restriction, all cash dividends paid with respect to such Restricted Stock; and (c) the right to participate with respect to such Restricted Stock in any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or other adjustment in the Common Stock of the Company or any merger, consolidation or other reorganization involving an increase or decrease or adjustment in the Common Stock of the Company.  Any new, additional or different shares or other security received by the Participant pursuant to any such stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization or reorganization shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions as those relating to the Restricted Stock for which such shares were received.

Any certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to the Plan shall be registered in the name of the relevant Participant and deposited, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company.  In the discretion of the Committee, any such certificates may be deposited in a bank designated by the Committee or delivered to the Participant.  Certificates for shares of Restricted Stock that have vested shall be delivered to the Participant upon request within a reasonable period of time.  The Participant shall sign all documents necessary or appropriate to facilitate such delivery.


          (b)          Legend.  Any certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to the Plan shall bear the following legend:



The shares represented by this certificate were issued subject to certain restrictions under the Manatron, Inc. 1994 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan").  A copy of the Plan is on file in the office of the Secretary of Manatron, Inc.  This certificate is held subject to the terms and conditions contained in a restricted stock agreement that includes a prohibition against the sale or transfer of the stock represented by this certificate except in compliance with that agreement, and that provides for forfeiture upon certain events.





          6.7          Representations and Warranties.  A Participant who is awarded Restricted Stock shall represent and warrant that the Participant is acquiring the Restricted Stock for the Participant's own account and investment and without any intention to resell or redistribute the Restricted Stock.

SECTION 7


General Provisions


          7.1          No Rights to Awards.  No Participant or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Incentive Award, and there is no obligation of uniformity of treatment of Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Incentive Awards.  The terms and conditions of the Incentive Awards of the same type and the determination of the Committee to grant a waiver or modification of any Incentive Award and the terms and conditions thereof need not be the same with respect to each Participant.


          7.2          Withholding.  The Company or a Subsidiary shall be entitled to (a) withhold and deduct from future wages of a Participant (or from other amounts that may be due and owing to a Participant from the Company or a Subsidiary), or make other arrangements for the collection








- 9 -








of, all legally required amounts necessary to satisfy any and all federal, state and local withholding and employment-related tax requirements attributable to an Incentive Award, including, without limitation, the grant, exercise or vesting of, or payment of dividends with respect to, an Incentive Award or a disqualifying disposition of Common Stock received upon exercise of an incentive stock option; or (b) require a Participant promptly to remit the amount of such withholding to the Company before taking any action with respect to an Incentive Award.  Unless the Committee determines otherwise, withholding may be satisfied by withholding Common Stock to be received upon exercise or by delivery to the Company of previously owned Common Stock.  The Company may establish such rules and procedures concerning timing of any withholding election as it deems appropriate to comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Act.


          7.3          Compliance With Laws; Listing and Registration of Shares.  All Incentive Awards granted under the Plan (and all issuances of Common Stock or other securities under the Plan) shall be subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to the requirement that if at any time the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares covered thereby upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Incentive Award or the issue or purchase of shares thereunder, such Incentive Award may not be exercised in whole or in part, or the restrictions on such Incentive Award shall not lapse, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Committee.


          7.4          No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation arrangements, including the grant of options and other stock-based awards, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.


          7.5          No Right to Employment.  The grant of an Incentive Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary.  The Company or any Subsidiary may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any written agreement with a Participant.


          7.6          Governing Law.  The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan and applicable federal law.


          7.7          Severability.  In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
