Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, to remain a member of the Board of the Company or of a Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary for a period of at least one year after the Award is granted; provided,
however, that the Committee may require that the Holder provide additional consideration for such Award. 



Section 9.2—Awards Not Transferable  


        No Award or interest or right therein or part thereof shall be liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Holder or his successors in interest or shall

11







 



alienation,
anticipation, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment, garnishment or
any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect; provided, however, that nothing in this
Section 9.2 shall prevent any transfer of a Transferable Option in accordance with its terms or any transfer by will or by the applicable laws of descent and distribution. 


Section 9.3—Conditions to Issuance of Stock Certificates  


        The shares of stock issuable and deliverable under upon the Plan may be either previously authorized but unissued shares or issued shares which have then been
reacquired by the Company. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for shares of stock under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following
conditions: 


        (a)   The
admission of such shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock is then listed; and 


        (b)   The
completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable; and 


        (c)   The
obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be
necessary or advisable; and 


        (d)   The
payment to the Company (or other applicable corporation) of all amounts, if any, which it is required to withhold under federal, state or local law in connection
with the Award; and 


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



Section 9.4—Adjustments in Outstanding Awards  


        In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock subject to Awards are hereafter changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or
other securities of the Company or of another corporation, by reason of reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization or reclassification, or the number of shares is increased or decreased
by reason of a stock split-up, stock dividend, combination of shares or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of
consideration by the Company (provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration"), the
Committee shall make appropriate adjustments in the number and kind of shares as to which all outstanding Awards, or portions thereof then unexercised or unvested, shall be exercisable or granted upon
any Awards, to the end that after such event the Holder's proportionate interest shall be maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Such adjustment in an outstanding Award shall be made
without change in the total price applicable to the Award or the unexercised portion of an Option (except for any change in the aggregate price resulting from rounding-off of share
quantities or prices) and with any necessary corresponding adjustment in Option price per share. Any such adjustment made by the Committee shall be final and binding upon all Holders, the Company and
all other interested persons.

Section 9.5—Term of the Plan  


        The term of the Plan shall expire ten years from the Effective Date, unless the Plan is sooner terminated by the Board or unless the term of the Plan is extended

Section 9.6—Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan  


        The Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Committee. However, without
approval of the Company's stockholders given within twelve months before or after the action by the Committee, no action of the Committee may, except as provided in Section 2.3, increase any
limit imposed in Section 2.1 on the maximum number of shares which may be issued on the exercise of Options or awarded as Restricted Stock or the vesting of Restricted Stock Units, materially
modify the eligibility requirements of Sections 3.1, 6.1 or 7.1, reduce the minimum Option price requirements of Section 4.2, extend the limit imposed
in Section 9.5 on the period during which Awards may be granted, or amend or modify the Plan in a manner requiring stockholder approval under Rule 16b-3. Neither the
amendment, suspension nor termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Holder, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted. 


Section 9.7—No Right to Continued Board Membership  


        Nothing in this Plan or in any Stock Option Agreement, Restricted Stock Agreement or Restricted Stock Unit Agreement hereunder shall confer upon any Holder any
right to continue as a member of the Board of the Company or of any Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights otherwise conferred on or reserved to
the Board and the stockholders of the Company, its Parent Corporations and its Subsidiaries, and/or the stockholders of any of them, to terminate any Holder's Board membership at any time for any
reason whatsoever, with or without cause. 


Section 9.8—Effect of Plan Upon Other Option and Compensation Plans  


        The adoption of this Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company, any Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary. Nothing
in this Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company, any Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for members of the
Board of the Company, any Parent Corporation or any Subsidiary or (b) to grant or assume options, restricted stock or restricted stock units otherwise than under this Plan in connection with
any proper corporate purpose, including, but not by way of limitation, the grant or assumption of options, restricted stock or restricted stock units in connection with the acquisition by purchase,
