 2005 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 









 dELiA*s, Inc. 
 2005 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  

	1.	ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE. 

  
 The dELiA*s, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is established by dELiA*s, Inc. (the “Company”) to attract and retain persons eligible to
participate in the Plan; motivate Participants to achieve long-term Company goals; and further align Participants’ interests with those of the Company’s other stockholders. The Plan is adopted as of October 20, 2005. Unless the Plan is
discontinued earlier by the Board as provided herein, no Award shall be granted hereunder on or after the date 10 years after the Effective Date. 
  
 Certain terms used herein are defined as set forth in Section 10. 
  

	2.	ADMINISTRATION; ELIGIBILITY. 

  
 The Plan shall be administered by a Committee; provided, however, that, if at any time no Committee shall be in office, the Plan shall be administered by the Board. The
Plan may be administered by different Committees with respect to different groups of Eligible Individuals. As used herein, the term “Administrator” means the Board or any of its Committees as shall be administering the Plan. 
  
 The Administrator shall have plenary authority to grant Awards pursuant to the terms of the
Plan to Eligible Individuals. Participation shall be limited to such persons as are selected by the Administrator. Awards may be granted as alternatives to, in exchange or substitution for, or replacement of, Awards outstanding under the Plan or any
other plan or arrangement of the Company or a Subsidiary (including a plan or arrangement of a business or entity, all or a portion of which is acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary). The provisions of Awards need not be the same with respect to
each Participant. 
  
 Among other things, the Administrator shall have the
authority, subject to the terms of the Plan: 
  

	 	(a)	to select the Eligible Individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be granted; 

  

	 	(b)	to determine whether and to what extent Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Stock Awards or any combination thereof are to be granted hereunder; 

  

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

  

	 	(d)	to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan; 

  

 1 









	 	(e)	to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, of any Award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, the option price, any vesting
restriction or limitation, any vesting acceleration or forfeiture waiver and any right of repurchase, right of first refusal or other transfer restriction regarding any Award and the shares of Stock relating thereto, based on such factors or
criteria as the Administrator shall determine); 

  

	 	(f)	subject to Section 8(a), 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, with respect
to (i) performance goals and targets applicable to performance-based Awards pursuant to the terms of the Plan and (ii) extension of the post-termination exercisability period of Stock Options; 

  

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

  

	 	(h)	to determine Fair Market Value; and 

  

	 	(i)	to determine the type and amount of consideration to be received by the Company for any Stock Award issued under Section 6. 

  
 The 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 Administrator may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any agreement relating thereto in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary to carry this Plan
into effect, but only to the extent any such action would be permitted under the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3, the rules of the principal stock exchange automated quotation system on which the Company’s Stock is listed for trading (the
“Principal Exchange”), and the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee may adopt special guidelines and provisions for persons who are residing in, or subject to, the taxes of, jurisdictions outside of the
United States to comply with applicable tax and securities laws of those jurisdictions. If and to the extent applicable, this Plan is intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code and the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 and the
Principal Exchange and shall be limited, construed and interpreted in a manner so as to comply therewith. 
  
 Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or, if the Administrator is the Committee, by resolution of the Board, the Administrator may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one
or more of its members and may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any other person or persons selected by it. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Administrator or, if the Administrator is the
Committee, by resolution of the Board, at any time. The Administrator may authorize any one or more of its 

  

 2 








 
members or any officer of the Company to execute and deliver documents on behalf of the Administrator. 
  
 Any determination made by the Administrator or pursuant to delegated authority pursuant to
the provisions of the Plan with respect to any Award shall be made in the sole discretion of the Administrator or such delegate 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 Administrator or any appropriately delegated officer pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and Participants. 
  
 The Administrator may designate employees of the Company and professional advisors to assist
the Administrator in the administration of the Plan and may grant authority to employees of such advisors to execute agreements or other documents on behalf of the Administrator. 
  
 The Administrator may employ such legal counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may
rely upon any opinion received from any such counsel or consultant and any computation received from any such consultant or agent. Expenses incurred by the Administrator or Board in the engagement of any such counsel, consultant or agent shall be
paid by the Company. The Administrator, its members and any person designated pursuant to the above paragraphs shall not be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan. To the maximum extent permitted by
applicable law, no officer of the Company or member or former member of the Administrator or of the Board shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award granted under it. To the maximum
extent permitted by applicable law and the Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company and to the extent not covered by insurance, each officer and member or former member of the Administrator or of the Board shall be indemnified and
held harmless by the Company against any cost or expense (including reasonable fees of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company) or liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a claim with the approval of the Company), and advanced
amounts necessary to pay the foregoing at the earliest time and to the fullest extent permitted, arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan, except to the extent arising out of such officer’s, member’s or former
member’s own fraud or bad faith. Such indemnification shall be in addition to any rights of indemnification of the officers, directors or members or former officers, directors or members may have under applicable law or under the Certificate of
Incorporation or By-Laws of the Company or Subsidiary. Notwithstanding anything else herein, this indemnification will not apply to the actions or determinations made by an individual with regard to Awards granted to him or her under this Plan.

  

	3.	STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. 

  
 Subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 3, the aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be delivered under the Plan shall not exceed 8,400,000
shares. 
  

 3 








 To the extent any shares of Stock covered by an Award are not delivered to a Participant or beneficiary thereof because
the Award expires, is forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated, or the shares of Stock are not delivered because the Award is settled in cash or used to satisfy the applicable tax withholding obligation, such shares shall not be deemed to have
been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Stock available for delivery under the Plan. 
  
 Subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 3, the maximum number of shares that may be covered by Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights and Stock
Awards, in the aggregate, granted to any one Participant during any calendar year shall be 1,500,000 shares. 
  
 Upon any Company stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, corporate separation or division of the Company (including,
but not limited to, a split-up, spin-off, split-off or distribution to Company stockholders other than a normal cash dividend), sale by the Company of all or a substantial portion of its assets (measured on either a stand-alone or consolidated
basis), reorganization, rights offering, partial or complete liquidation, or any other corporate transaction, Company share offering or other event involving the Company and having an effect similar to any of the foregoing, the Administrator may
make such substitution or adjustments in the (A) number and kind of shares that may be delivered under the Plan, (B) additional maximums imposed in the immediately preceding paragraph, (C) number and kind of shares subject to
outstanding Awards, (D) exercise price of outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights and (E) other characteristics or terms of the Awards as it may determine appropriate in its sole discretion to equitably reflect such
corporate transaction, share offering or other event; provided, however, that the number of shares subject to any Award shall always be a whole number. 
  

	4.	STOCK OPTIONS. 

  
 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 Non-Qualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall
be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve. 
  
 The
Administrator shall have the authority to grant any Participant Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options or both types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock Appreciation Rights). Incentive Stock Options may be granted only
to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. To the extent that any Stock Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option or, even if so designated, does not qualify or continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute
a Non-Qualified Stock Option. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only within 10 years from the date the Plan is adopted, or the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders, whichever is earlier. 
  

 4 








 Stock Options shall be evidenced by option agreements, each in a form approved by the Administrator. An option agreement
shall indicate on its face whether it is intended to be an agreement for an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. The grant of a Stock Option shall occur as of the date the Administrator determines. 
  
 Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to
Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Optionee
affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code. 
  
 To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company) exceeds $100,000, such
Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. 
  
 Stock Options
granted under this Section 4 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem desirable: 
  

	 	(a)	Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Administrator. If the Stock Option is intended to qualify as
an Incentive Stock Option, the exercise price per share shall be not less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date the Stock Option is granted, or if granted to an individual who is a Ten Percent Holder, not less than 110% of such Fair
Market Value per share. 

  

	 	(b)	Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Administrator, but no Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years (or five years in the
case of an individual who is a Ten Percent Holder) after the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted. 

  

	 	(c)	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 Administrator. If the Administrator provides that any Stock Option is exercisable only in installments, the Administrator may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the
Administrator may determine. In addition, the Administrator may at any time, in whole or in part, accelerate the exercisability of any Stock Option. 

  

	 	(d)	Method of Exercise. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4, 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 Stock subject to the Stock Option to be purchased. 

  

 5 








 The option price of each Stock Option shall be paid in full in cash (by certified or bank check or such
other instrument as the Company may accept) or, unless otherwise provided in the applicable option agreement, by one or more of the following: (i) in the form of unrestricted Stock already owned by the Optionee (or, in the case of the exercise
of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, Restricted Stock subject to a Stock Award hereunder) based in any such instance on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Stock Option is exercised; (ii) by certifying ownership of shares of Stock
owned by the Optionee to the satisfaction of the Administrator for later delivery to the Company as specified by the Company; (iii) by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Stock (or a sufficient portion of the shares)
acquired upon exercise of the Stock Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire exercise price and all tax withholding resulting from such exercise; or (iv) by any combination of cash and/or any
one or more of the methods specified in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a form of payment shall not be permitted to the extent it would cause the Company to recognize a compensation expense (or additional
compensation expense) with respect to the Stock Option for financial reporting purposes unless the Board shall otherwise consent. 
  
 If payment of the option exercise price of a Non-Qualified Stock Option is made in whole or in part in the form of Restricted Stock, the number of shares
of Stock to be received upon such exercise equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used for payment of the option exercise price shall be subject to the same forfeiture restrictions to which such Restricted Stock was subject, unless
otherwise determined by the Administrator. 
  
 No shares of Stock
shall be issued upon exercise of a Stock Option until full payment therefor has been made. Upon exercise of a Stock Option (or a portion thereof), the Company shall have a reasonable time to issue the Stock for which the Stock Option has been
exercised, and the Optionee shall not be treated as a stockholder for any purposes whatsoever prior to such issuance. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Stock is
recorded as issued and transferred in the Company’s official stockholder records, except as otherwise provided herein or in the applicable option agreement. 
  

	 	(e)	 Transferability of Stock Options. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable option agreement, a Stock Option shall not be transferable except by will or
the laws of descent and distribution. A Stock Option shall be exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee or by the guardian or legal representative of the Optionee, it being understood that the terms “holder”
and “Optionee” include the guardian and legal representative of the Optionee named in the applicable option agreement and any person to whom the Stock Option is 



  

 6 









	 	 
transferred (X) pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 4(e) or pursuant to the applicable option agreement or (Y) by will or
the laws of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, references herein to the termination of an Optionee’s employment or provision of services shall mean the termination of employment or provision of services of the person to
whom the Stock Option was originally granted. 


  

	 	(f)	Termination by Death. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable option agreement, if an Optionee’s employment or provision of services terminates by reason of death,
any Stock Option held by such Optionee may thereafter be exercised, to the extent then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the Administrator may determine, for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the
stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter. In the event of termination of employment or provision of services due to death, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for
purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

  

	 	(g)	Termination by Reason of Disability. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable option agreement, if an Optionee’s employment or provision of services terminates by
reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such Optionee may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Administrator may determine, for a period of
three months from the date of such termination of employment or provision of services or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter; provided, however, that if the Optionee dies within such period, an
unexercised Stock Option held by such Optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or
until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter. In the event of termination of employment or provision of services by reason of Disability, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of
the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

  

	 	(h)	 Termination by Reason of Retirement. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable option agreement, if an Optionee’s employment or provision of services
terminates by reason of Retirement, any Stock Option held by such Optionee may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such Retirement, or on such accelerated basis as the Administrator may determine,
for a period of three months from the date of such termination of employment or provision of services or until the expiration of the 



  

 7 









	 	 
stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter; provided, however, that if the Optionee dies within such period, any unexercised Stock Option
held by such Optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of
the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter. In the event of termination of employment or provision of services by reason of Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods
that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 


  

	 	(i)	Other Termination. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable option agreement, if an Optionee’s employment or provision of services terminates for any reason other
than death, Disability or Retirement, any Stock Option held by such Optionee may thereafter be exercised by the Optionee, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such termination, or on such accelerated basis as the Administrator may
determine, for a period of 30 days months from the date of such termination of employment or provision of services or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter; provided, however, that, if such
termination of employment or provision of services is involuntary on the part of the Optionee and without Cause, such Stock Option, to the extent then exercisable, or on such accelerated basis as the Administrator may determine, may be exercised for
the lesser of 90 days from the date of such termination of employment or provision of services or the remainder of such Stock Option’s term, and provided, further, that if the Optionee dies within such period, any unexercised Stock Option held
by such Optionee shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such period, continue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death for a period of 12 months from the date of such death or until the expiration of the
stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter. In the event of termination of employment or provision of services for any reason other than death, Disability or Retirement, if an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the
expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Stock Option will thereafter be treated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 

  

	 	(j)	 Exception to Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, if an Optionee’s employment by, or provision of services to, the
Company or an Affiliate ceases as a result of a transfer of such Optionee from the Company to an Affiliate, or from an Affiliate to the Company, such transfer will not be a termination of employment or provision of services for purposes of this
Plan, unless expressly determined otherwise by the Administrator. A termination of employment or provision of services shall occur for an Optionee who is employed by, or provides services to, an Affiliate of the Company if the Affiliate shall cease




  

 8 









	 	 
to be an Affiliate and the Optionee shall not immediately thereafter be employed by, or provide services to, the Company or an Affiliate.



  

	 	(k)	Participant Loans. The Administrator may in its discretion authorize the Company to: 

  

	 	(i)	lend to an Optionee an amount equal to such portion of the exercise price of a Stock Option as the Administrator may determine; or 

  

	 	(ii)	guarantee a loan obtained by an Optionee from a third-party for the purpose of tendering such exercise price. 

  
 The terms and conditions of any loan or guarantee, including the term,
interest rate, whether the loan is with recourse against the Optionee and any security interest thereunder, shall be determined by the Administrator, except that no extension of credit or guarantee shall obligate the Company for an amount to exceed
the lesser of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, less the par value, of the shares of Stock to be purchased upon the exercise of the Stock Option, and (ii) the amount permitted under applicable laws or the
regulations and rules of the Federal Reserve Board and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction. 
  

	5.	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 

  
 Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either on a stand-alone basis or in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option granted under the Plan. In the case of a
Non-Qualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at or after the time of grant of such Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of grant of such Stock Option. A Stock
Appreciation Right shall terminate and no longer be exercisable as determined by the Administrator, or, if granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option, upon the termination or exercise of the related Stock Option. 
  
 A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by a Participant as determined by the
Administrator in accordance with this Section 5, and, if granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option, by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option in accordance with procedures established by the
Administrator. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in this Section 5. Stock Options which have been so surrendered, if any, shall no longer be
exercisable to the extent the related Stock Appreciation Rights have been exercised. 
  

 9 








 Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Administrator,
including the following: 
  

	 	(i)	Stock Appreciation Rights granted on a stand-alone basis shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to such extent as determined by the Administrator. Stock Appreciation
Rights granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option shall be exercisable only at the time or times and to the extent that the Stock Options to which they relate are exercisable in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4 and this Section 5. 

  

	 	(ii)	Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, a Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, shares of Stock or both, which in the aggregate are equal in value to
the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock over (i) such value per share of Stock as shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant (if the Stock Appreciation Right is granted on a stand-alone basis), or
(ii) the exercise price per share specified in the related Stock Option (if the Stock Appreciation Right is granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option), multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Stock
Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Administrator having the right to determine the form of payment. 

  

	 	(iii)	A Stock Appreciation Right shall be transferable only to, and shall be exercisable only by, such persons permitted in accordance with Section 4(e).


  

	6.	STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS. 

  
 Stock Awards may be directly issued under the Plan (without any intervening options), subject to such terms, conditions, performance requirements, restrictions,
forfeiture provisions, contingencies and limitations as the Administrator shall determine. Stock Awards may be issued which are fully and immediately vested upon issuance or which vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period
of employment or other service to the Company or upon the attainment of specified performance objectives, or the Company may issue Stock Awards which entitle the Participant to receive a specified number of vested shares of Stock upon the attainment
of one or more performance goals or service requirements established by the Administrator. 
  
 Shares representing a Stock Award shall be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may deem appropriate, including book-entry registration or issuance of one or more certificates (which may bear appropriate
legends referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Award). The Administrator may require that any such certificates be held in custody by the Company until any restrictions thereon shall have lapsed and that the
Participant deliver a stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Stock covered by such Award. 
  
 A Stock Award may be issued in exchange for any consideration which the Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance, including, without limitation: 
  

	 	(i)	cash or cash equivalents; 

  

 10 









	 	(ii)	past services rendered to the Company or any Affiliate; or 

  

	 	(iii)	future services to be rendered to the Company or any Affiliate (provided that, in such case, the par value of the stock subject to such Stock Award shall be paid in cash or cash
equivalents, unless the Administrator provides otherwise). 

  
 A
Stock Award that is subject to restrictions on transfer and/or forfeiture provisions may be referred to as an award of “Restricted Stock” or “Restricted Stock Units.” 
  

	7.	ADJUSTMENTS. 

  
 Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, a Participant’s rights with respect to any Stock Award granted to him or her hereunder which has not previously been exercised or accepted in full shall be
adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise specifically provided in the pertinent option agreement or Stock Award: 
  

	 	(a)	Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If (i) the shares of Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any
shares of Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Stock, or (ii) additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or any other non cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock, the number
of shares of Stock deliverable upon the exercise of such Option or acceptance of such Stock Award may be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments may be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such
events. The number of shares of Stock subject to the limitation in Section 3 shall also be proportionately adjusted upon the occurrence of such events. 

  

	 	(b)	 Consolidations or Mergers. If the Company is to be consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, sale of all or substantially all of the
Company’s assets or otherwise (an “Acquisition”), the Administrator or the board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the “Successor Board”), shall, as to outstanding Options, either
(i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Options by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such Options either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Stock in connection
with the Acquisition or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all Options must be exercised (either to the extent then exercisable or, at the discretion of the
Administrator, all Options being made fully exercisable for purposes of this Subparagraph), within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the Options shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Options in
exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of 



  

 11 









	 	 
the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to such Options (either to the extent then exercisable or, at the discretion of the Administrator, all Options
being made fully exercisable for purposes of this Subparagraph) over the exercise price thereof. 


  
 With respect to outstanding Stock Awards, the Administrator or the Successor Board, shall either (i) make appropriate provisions for the continuation
of such Stock Awards by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such Stock Awards either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding Shares of Stock in connection with the Acquisition or securities of any
successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all Stock Awards must be accepted (to the extent then subject to acceptance) within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end
of which period the offer of the Stock Awards shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Stock Awards in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such Stock Awards over the purchase price
thereof, if any. In addition, in the event of an Acquisition, the Administrator may waive any or all Company repurchase rights with respect to outstanding Stock Awards. 
  

	 	(c)	Recapitalization or Reorganization. In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company (other than a transaction described in Subparagraph (b) above)
pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of Stock, a Participant upon exercising an Option or accepting a Stock Award shall be entitled to receive for the purchase price
paid upon such exercise the securities which would have been received if such Stock Right had been exercised or accepted prior to such recapitalization or reorganization. 

  

	 	(d)	Modification of ISOs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Subparagraph (a), (b) or (c) with respect to ISOs shall be made only after the
Administrator, after consulting with counsel for the Company, determines whether such adjustments would constitute a “modification” of such ISOs (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax
consequences for the holders of such ISOs. If the Administrator determines that such adjustments made with respect to ISOs would constitute a modification of such ISOs, it may refrain from making such adjustments, unless the holder of an ISO
specifically requests in writing that such adjustment be made and such writing indicates that the holder has full knowledge of the consequences of such “modification” on his or her income tax treatment with respect to the ISO.


  

 12 









	8.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

  

	 	(a)	Amendment. The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would adversely affect the rights of a
Participant under an Award theretofore granted without the Participant’s consent, except such an amendment (i) made to avoid an expense charge to the Company or an Affiliate, or (ii) made to permit the Company or an Affiliate a
deduction under the Code. No such amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company’s stockholders to the extent such approval is required by law, agreement or the rules of any stock exchange or market on which the Stock is listed.


  
 The Administrator may amend the terms of any
Stock Option or other Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall adversely affect the rights of the holder thereof without the holder’s consent. 
  

	 	(b)	Unfunded Status of Plan. It is intended that this Plan be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. The Administrator may authorize the creation
of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under this Plan to deliver Stock or make payments, provided that, unless the Administrator otherwise determines, the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with
the “unfunded” status of this Plan. 

  

	 	(c)	General Provisions. 

  

	 	(i)	The Administrator may require each person purchasing or receiving shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the
shares without a view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for such shares may include any legend which the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. 

  
 All certificates for shares of Stock or other securities delivered under
the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Commission, any stock exchange or market on which the Stock is then
listed and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 
  

	 	(ii)	Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees. 

  

 13 









	 	(iii)	The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee, director, consultant or advisor any right to continued employment, directorship or service, nor shall it interfere in
any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment or service of any employee, consultant or advisor at any time. 

  

	 	(iv)	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 Administrator, withholding obligations may be settled with Stock, including Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be
conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, its Subsidiaries 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 Administrator may
establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for the settlement of withholding obligations with Stock. 

  

	 	(v)	The 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. 

  

	 	(vi)	Any amounts owed to the Company or an Affiliate by the Participant of whatever nature may be offset by the Company from the value of any shares of Stock, cash or other thing of
value under this Plan or an agreement to be transferred to the Participant, and no shares of Stock, cash or other thing of value under this Plan or an agreement shall be transferred unless and until all disputes between the Company and the
Participant have been fully and finally resolved and the Participant has waived all claims to such against the Company or an Affiliate. 

  

	 	(vii)	The grant of an Award shall in no way affect the right of the Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 

  

	 	(viii)	 If any payment or right accruing to a Participant under this Plan (without the application of this Section (8)(c)(viii)), either alone or together with other
payments or rights accruing to the Participant from the Company or 



  

 14 









	 	 
an Affiliate (“Total Payments”) would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Code and regulations
thereunder) (after taking into account the exceptions set forth in Sections 280G(b)(4) and 280G(b)(5) of the Code), such payment or right shall be reduced (or delayed) to the largest amount or greatest right that will result in no portion of the
amount payable or right accruing under this Plan being subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or being disallowed as a deduction under Section 280G of the Code; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the
extent provided otherwise in an Award or in the event the Participant is party to an agreement with the Company or an Affiliate that explicitly provides for an alternate treatment of payments or rights that would constitute “parachute
payments.” The determination of whether any reduction in the rights or payments under this Plan is to apply shall be made by the Administrator in good faith after consultation with the Participant, and such determination shall be conclusive and
binding on the Participant. The Participant shall cooperate in good faith with the Administrator in making such determination and providing the necessary information for this purpose. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8(c)(viii)
shall apply with respect to any person only if, after reduction for any applicable Federal excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and Federal income tax imposed by the Code, the Total Payments accruing to such person would be less than
the amount of the Total Payments as reduced, if applicable, under the foregoing provisions of this Plan and after reduction for only Federal income taxes. 


  

	 	(ix)	To the extent that the Administrator determines that the restrictions imposed by the Plan preclude the achievement of the material purposes of the Awards in jurisdictions outside
the United States, the Administrator in its discretion may modify those restrictions as it determines to be necessary or appropriate to conform to applicable requirements or practices of jurisdictions outside of the United States.


  

	 	(x)	The headings contained in this Plan are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Plan. 

  

	 	(xi)	If any provision of this Plan shall for any reason be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not effect any other provision hereby, and this
Plan shall be construed as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. 

  

	 	(xii)	 This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor and assign of the Company. All obligations imposed upon a Participant, 



  

 15 









	 	 
and all rights granted to the Company hereunder, shall be binding upon the Participant’s heirs, legal representatives and successors.



  

	 	(xiii)	This Plan and each agreement granting an Award constitute the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, provided that in the event of any inconsistency
between this Plan and such agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan shall control. 

  

	 	(xiv)	In the event there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act pursuant to which shares of Stock shall be offered for sale in an underwritten offering, a
Participant shall not, during the period requested by the underwriters managing the registered public offering, effect any public sale or distribution of shares of Stock received, directly or indirectly, as an Award or pursuant to the exercise or
settlement of an Award. 

  

	 	(xv)	None of the Company, an Affiliate or the Administrator shall have any duty or obligation to disclose affirmatively to a record or beneficial holder of Stock or an Award, and such
holder shall have no right to be advised of, any material information regarding the Company or any Affiliate at any time prior to, upon or in connection with receipt or the exercise of an Award or the Company’s purchase of Stock or an Award
from such holder in accordance with the terms hereof. 

  

	 	(xvi)	This Plan, and all Awards, agreements and actions hereunder, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Delaware (other than its law respecting
choice of law). 

  

	9.	DEFERRAL OF AWARDS. 

  
 The Administrator (in its sole discretion) may permit a Participant to: 
  

	 	(a)	have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right or the settlement of a Stock Award credited to a deferred
compensation account established for such Participant by the Administrator as an entry on the Company’s books; 

  

	 	(b)	have Stock that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a Stock Option or a Stock Appreciation Right converted into an equal number of Stock
units; or 

  

	 	(c)	 have Stock that otherwise would be delivered to such Participant as a result of the exercise of a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right or the settlement of a
Stock Award converted into amounts credited to a deferred compensation account 



  

 16 









	 	 
established for such Participant by the Administrator as an entry on the Company’s books. Such amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair
Market Value of the Stock as of the date on which they otherwise would have been delivered to such Participant. 


  
 A deferred compensation account established under this Section 9 may be credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the
Administrator. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be subject
to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of awards is permitted or required, the Administrator (in its sole discretion) may establish rules, procedures and forms
pertaining to such Awards, including (without limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under this Section 9.
