SECTION 1

INTRODUCTION  


        1.1   Establishment. CIBER, Inc. hereby establishes the CIBER, Inc. 2004 Incentive Plan (the "Plan") for certain
officers, employees, consultants, and directors of the Company. 


        1.2   Purposes. The purposes of the Plan are to provide the officers, employees, consultants, and directors of the Company
selected for participation in the Plan with added incentives to continue in the long-term service of the Company and to create in such persons a more direct interest in the future success
of the operations of the Company by relating incentive compensation to increases in stockholder value, so that the income of such persons is more closely aligned with the income of the Company's
stockholders. The Plan is also designed to enhance the ability of the Company to attract, retain and motivate officers, employees, consultants, and directors by providing an opportunity for investment
in the Company.

Rule 16b-3, each of whom, to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 only, shall be a Nonemployee Director. Further, if the Administrator consists of less

of the Administrator will be an Outside Director. For purposes of the preceding provisions, if one or more members of the Administrator is not a Nonemployee or not an Outside Director, but recuses

SECTION 3

PLAN ADMINISTRATION  


        3.1   Authority of Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. Subject to the terms of the Plan and
applicable law, and in addition to other express powers and authorizations conferred on the Administrator by the Plan, the Administrator shall have full power and authority to: (i) designate
Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to eligible Participants; (iii) determine the number of Shares to be covered by, or with respect to which payments,
rights, or other matters are to be calculated in connection with, Awards; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award; (v) determine whether, to what extent, and under what
circumstances Awards may be settled or exercised in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or canceled, forfeited, or suspended and the method or methods by which Awards may
be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited, or suspended; (vi) determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances cash, shares, other securities, other Awards, other property, and
other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder thereof or of the Administrator; (vii) determine whether, to what extent,
and under what circumstances to accelerate the exercisability of any Award or the end of a Performance Cycle or the termination of the restriction period for any Restricted Stock Award; (viii) 
correct any defect, supply any omission, reconcile any inconsistency and otherwise interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to the Plan or any Award hereunder;
(ix) establish, amend, suspend, or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (x) make any other
determination and take any other action that the Administrator deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan. To the extent necessary 


3







 

or
appropriate, the Administrator may adopt sub-plans consistent with the Plan to conform to applicable state or foreign securities or tax laws. 


        3.2   Determinations Under the Plan. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan all designations, determinations,
interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Plan or any Award shall be within the sole discretion of the Administrator, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive,
and binding upon all persons, including the Company, any Affiliated Corporation, any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award, and any stockholder. No member of the Administrator shall be
liable, in the absence of bad faith, for any act or omission with respect to his or her services as an Administrator. Service on a committee acting as the Administrator shall constitute service as a
director of the Company entitling members to any indemnification of liability benefits applicable to directors with respect to their services as Administrator. 


        3.3   Delegation of Certain Responsibilities. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, delegate to appropriate officers
of the Company the administration of the Plan under this Section 3; provided, however, that no such delegation by the Administrator shall be made (i) if such delegation would not be
permitted under applicable law or (ii) with respect to the administration of the Plan as it affects Executive Officers or Directors of the Company, and provided further that the Administrator
may not delegate its authority to correct errors, omissions or inconsistencies in the Plan. Subject to the above limitations, the Administrator may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the
Company its authority under this Section 3 to grant Awards to employees who are not Executive Officers or Directors of the Company. All authority delegated by the Administrator under this
Section 3.3 shall be exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and any guidelines for, conditions on, or limitations to the exercise of such authority that may from time to time
be established by the Administrator. 


SECTION 4

STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN  


        4.1   Number of Shares. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, [new shares plus directors'
shares] Shares are initially authorized for issuance under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and subject to such restrictions or other provisions as the Administrator
may from time to time deem necessary. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.3, no Participant may be granted Awards in any twelve-month period with respect to more than 1,000,000
Shares. The Shares may be divided among the various Plan components as the Administrator shall determine, except that no more than [insert # equal to total shares in plan minus director's
shares] Shares as calculated pursuant to Section 4.2 shall be cumulatively available for the grant of Incentive Stock Options under the Plan. Shares which may be issued upon the
exercise of Options shall be applied to reduce the maximum number of Shares remaining available for use under the Plan. The Company shall at all times during the term of the Plan and while any Options
are outstanding retain as authorized and unissued Stock, or as treasury Stock, at least the number of Shares from time to time required under the provisions of the Plan, or otherwise assure itself of
its ability to perform its obligations hereunder. 


        4.2   Unused and Forfeited Stock. Any Shares that are subject to an Award under this Plan which are not used because the terms
and conditions of the Award are not met, including any Shares that are subject to an Option which expires or is terminated for any reason, any Shares which are used for full or partial payment of the
purchase price of Shares with respect to which an Option is exercised and any Shares retained by the Company pursuant to Section 16.2 shall automatically become available for use under the
Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Shares used for full or partial payment of the purchase price of the Shares with respect to which an Option is exercised and any Shares retained by the Company
pursuant to Section 16.2 that were originally Incentive Stock Option Shares shall still be considered as having been granted for purposes of determining whether the Share limitation provided
for in Section 4.1 has been reached for purposes of Incentive Stock Option grants. 


4







 

        4.3   Adjustments for Stock Split, Stock Dividend, etc. If the Company shall at any time increase or decrease the number of its
outstanding Shares of Stock or change in any way the rights and privileges of such Shares by means of the payment of a stock dividend or any other distribution upon such Shares payable in Stock, or
through a stock split, subdivision, consolidation, combination, reclassification or recapitalization involving the Stock, then in relation to the Stock that is affected by one or more of the above
events, the numbers, rights and privileges of (i) the shares of Stock as to which Awards may be granted under the Plan, and (ii) the Shares of Stock then included in each outstanding
Option, Performance Share or Performance Unit granted hereunder, shall be increased, decreased or changed in like manner as if they had been issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable at the
time of such occurrence. 


        4.4   Dividend Payable in Stock of Another Corporation, etc. Except as set forth in Section 4.5 below, if the Company
shall at any time pay or make any dividend or other distribution upon the Stock payable in securities of another corporation or other property (except money or Stock), a proportionate part of such
securities or other property shall be set aside and delivered to any Participant then holding an Award for the particular type of Stock for which the dividend or other distribution was made, upon
exercise thereof in the case of Options, and the vesting thereof in the case of other Awards. Prior to the time that any such securities or other property are delivered to a Participant in accordance
with the foregoing, the Company shall be the owner of such securities or other property and shall have the right to vote the securities, receive any dividends payable on such securities, and in all
other respects shall be treated as the owner. If securities or other property which have been set aside by the Company in accordance with this Section are not delivered to a Participant because
an Award is not exercised or otherwise vested, then such securities or other property shall remain the property of the Company and shall be dealt with by the Company as it shall determine in its sole
discretion. 


        4.5   Spin-offs. If the Company shall at any time pay or make any dividend or other distribution upon the Stock in
the nature of a spin-off, for example a dividend payable in securities of an Affiliated Corporation, the Administrator shall in its discretion determine what changes are equitably required
to outstanding Awards to effect the spin-off, including but not limited to treating Awards of Employees remaining with the Company differently from Awards to Employees of the newly
spun-off entity, substituting Awards for Company Stock for Awards of stock in the spun-off entity, and allowing either the Company, the spun-off entity or both to
hold the securities or property set aside for Award participants. 


        4.6   Other Changes in Stock. In the event there shall be any change, other than as specified in Sections 4.3, 4.4 and
4.5, in the number or kind of outstanding shares of Stock or of any stock or other securities into which the Stock shall be changed or for which it shall have been exchanged, and if the Administrator
shall in its discretion determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment in the number or kind of Shares subject to outstanding Awards or which have been reserved for issuance pursuant to
the Plan but are not then subject to an Award, then such adjustments shall be made by the Administrator and shall be effective for all purposes of the Plan and on each outstanding Award that involves
the particular type of stock for which a change was effected. 


        4.7   General Adjustment Rules. If any adjustment or substitution provided for in this Section 4 shall result in the
creation of a fractional Share under any Award, the Company shall, in lieu of selling or otherwise issuing such fractional Share, pay to the Participant a cash sum in an amount equal to the product of
such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the fractional Share would otherwise have been issued. In the case of any such substitution or adjustment affecting an Option,
the total Option Price for the shares of Stock then subject to an Option shall remain unchanged but the Option Price per share under each such Option shall be equitably adjusted by the Administrator
to reflect the greater or lesser number of shares of Stock or other securities into which the Stock subject to the Option may have been changed. 


5







 



        4.8   Determination by Administrator. Adjustments under this Section 4 shall be made by the Administrator, whose
determinations with regard thereto shall be final and binding upon all persons. 


SECTION 5

REORGANIZATION OR LIQUIDATION  


        In the event that the Company is merged or consolidated with another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing
corporation and which does not result in any reclassification or change of outstanding Shares), or if all or substantially all of the assets or more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock of the
Company is acquired by any other corporation, business entity or person (other than a sale or conveyance in which the Company continues as a holding company of an entity or entities that conduct the
business or businesses formerly conducted by the Company), or in case of a reorganization (other than a reorganization under the United States Bankruptcy Code) or liquidation of the Company, and if
the provisions of Section 11 do not apply, the Administrator, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming the obligations of the Company, shall, have the power and discretion to
prescribe the terms and conditions for the exercise, or modification, of any outstanding Awards granted hereunder. By way of illustration, and not by way of limitation, the Administrator may provide
for the complete or partial acceleration of the dates of exercise of the Options, or may provide that such Options will be exchanged or converted into options to acquire securities of the surviving or
acquiring corporation, or may provide for a payment or distribution in respect of outstanding Options (or the portion thereof that is currently exercisable) in cancellation thereof. The Administrator
may remove restrictions on Restricted Stock and may modify the performance requirements for any other Awards. The Administrator may provide that Stock or other Awards granted hereunder must be
exercised in connection with the closing of such transaction, and that if not so exercised such Awards will expire. Any such determinations by the Administrator may be made generally with respect to
all Participants, or may be made on a case-by-case basis with respect to particular Participants. The provisions of this Section 5 shall not apply to any transaction
undertaken for the purpose of reincorporating the Company under the laws of another jurisdiction, if such transaction does not materially affect the beneficial ownership of the Company's capital
stock. 


SECTION 6

PARTICIPATION  


        Participants in the Plan shall be those Employees, Directors, or Consultants who, in the judgment of the Administrator, are performing, or during the term of
their incentive arrangement will perform, important services in the management, operation and development of the Company, and significantly contribute, or are expected to significantly contribute, to
the achievement of long-term corporate economic objectives. Participants may be granted from time to time one or more Awards; provided, however, that the grant of each such Award shall be
separately approved by the Administrator, receipt of one such Award shall not result in automatic receipt of any other Award, and written notice shall be given to such person, specifying the terms,
conditions, rights and duties related thereto; and further provided that Incentive Stock Options shall not be granted to (i) Consultants, (ii) part-time employees,
(iii) Nonemployee Directors, or (iv) Employees of any partnership or other entity which is included within the definition of an Affiliated Corporation but whose employees are not
permitted to receive Incentive Stock Options under the Internal Revenue Code. Each Participant shall enter into an agreement with the Company, in such form as the Administrator shall determine and
which is consistent with the provisions of the Plan, specifying such terms, conditions, rights and duties. Awards shall be deemed to be granted as of the date specified in the grant resolution of the
Administrator, which date shall be the date of any related agreement with the Participant. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Plan and any such agreement entered into
hereunder, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

SECTION 7

STOCK OPTIONS TO EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS  


        7.1   Grant of Options to Employees and Consultants. Coincident with or following designation for participation in the Plan, a
Participant (other than a Nonemployee Director) may be granted one or more Options. The Administrator in its sole discretion shall designate whether an Option is to be considered an Incentive Stock
Option or a Non-Statutory Option. The Administrator may grant both an Incentive Stock Option and a Non-Statutory Option to the same Participant at the same time or at different
times. Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Options, whether granted at the same or different times, shall be deemed to have been awarded in separate grants, shall be clearly
identified, and in no event shall the exercise of one Option affect the right to exercise any other Option or affect the number of Shares for which any other Option may be exercised. 


        7.2   Option Agreements. Each Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement which shall be
delivered by the Company to the Participant to whom the Option is granted (the "Option Holder"). Except as otherwise set forth in a Stock Option Agreement delivered to the Participant, each Option
shall be governed by the following terms and conditions, as well as such other terms and conditions not inconsistent therewith as the Administrator may consider appropriate in each case. 



        (a)   Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall state that it covers a specified number of Shares, as determined by
the Administrator. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any
Participant during any year (under all plans of the Company and any Affiliated Corporation) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as not being Incentive Stock Options. The foregoing shall be
applied by taking Options into account in the order in which they were granted. For the purposes of the foregoing, the Fair Market Value of any Share shall be determined as of the time the Option with
respect to such Share is granted. In the event the foregoing results in a portion of an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option exceeding the $100,000 limitation, only such excess shall be
treated as not being an Incentive Stock Option. 


        (b)   Price. Except for the limitations on Incentive Stock Options set forth below, the price at which each Share covered by an
Option may be purchased shall be determined in each case by the Administrator and set forth in the Stock Option Agreement. The Option Price for each Share covered by a Non-Statutory Option
may be granted at any price less than Fair Market Value, in the sole discretion of the Administrator. In no event shall the Option Price for each Share covered by an Incentive Stock Option be less
than the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the Option is granted. Further, the Option Price for each Share covered by an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who then owns stock
possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation of the Company must be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value
of the Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option on the date the Option is granted. 


        (c)   Duration of Options. The Administrator shall determine the period of time within which the Option may be exercised by the
Option Holder (the "Option Period"). The Option Period must expire, in all cases, not more than ten years from the date an Option is granted; provided, however, that the Option Period of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who then owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary
corporation of the Company must expire not more than five years from the date such Option is granted. Any Option Period determined by the Administrator to be shorter than the ten or
five-year term set forth above, must be set forth in a Stock Option Agreement. Each Stock Option Agreement shall also state the periods of time, if 



7







 




any,
as determined by the Administrator, when incremental portions of each Option shall vest. If any Option is not exercised during its Option Period, it shall be deemed to have been forfeited and of
no further force or effect. 


        (d)   Termination of Service, Retirement, Death or Disability. Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, each Option
shall be governed by the following terms with respect to the exercise of the Option if an Option Holder ceases to be a Service Provider: 



        (i)    If
the Option Holder ceases to be a Service Provider within the Option Period for cause, as determined by the Company, the Option shall thereafter be void for all
purposes. As used in this Section 7.2(d), "cause" shall mean (A) if applicable, "cause" as defined on a written contract between the Option Holder and the Company, or (B) in any
other case, a gross violation, as determined by the Company, of the Company's established policies and procedures. The effect of this Section 7.2(d)(i) shall be limited to determining
the consequences of a termination, and nothing in this Section 7.2(d)(i) shall restrict or otherwise interfere with the Company's discretion with respect to the termination of any
Service Provider. 


        (ii)   If
the Option Holder ceases to be a Service Provider with the Company in a manner determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, to constitute retirement (which
determination shall be communicated to the Option Holder within 10 days of such termination), the Option may be exercised by the Option Holder, or in the case of death, by the persons specified
in clause (iii) of this Section 7.2(d), within three months following his or her retirement if the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or within twelve months
following his or her retirement if the Option is a Non-Statutory Stock Option (provided in each case that such exercise must occur within the Option Period), but not thereafter. In any
such case, the Option may be exercised only as to the Shares as to which the Option had become exercisable on or before the date the Option Holder ceases to be a Service Provider. 


        (iii)  If
the Option Holder dies (A) while he or she is a Service Provider, (B) within the three-month period referred to in clause (v) below, or
(C) within the three or twelve-month period referred to in clause (ii) above, the Option may be exercised by those entitled to do so under the Option Holder's will or by the laws
of descent and distribution within twelve months following the Option Holder's death (provided that such exercise must occur within the Option Period), but not thereafter. In any such case, the
Option may be exercised only as to the Shares as to which the Option had become exercisable on or before the date the Option Holder ceased to be a Service Provider. 


        (iv)  If
the Option Holder becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Internal Revenue Code) while a Service Provider, Incentive Stock Options held
by the Option Holder may be exercised by the Option Holder within twelve months following the date the Option Holder ceases to be a Service Provider (provided that such exercise must occur
within the Option Period), but not thereafter. If the Option Holder becomes disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e) of the Internal Revenue Code) while a Service Provider or within
three-month period referred to in clause (v) below or within the twelve-month period following his or her retirement as provided in clause (ii) above,
Non-Statutory Options held by the Option Holder may be exercised by the Option Holder within twelve months following the date of the Option Holder's disability (provided that such
exercise must occur within the Option Period), but not thereafter. In any such case, the Option may be exercised only as to the Shares as to which the Option had become exercisable on or before the
date the Option Holder ceased to be a Service Provider. 




8













  




        (v)   If
the Option Holder ceases to be a Service Provider within the Option Period for any reason other than cause, retirement as provided in clause (ii) above,
disability as provided in clause (iv) above or the Option Holder's death, the Option may be exercised by the Option Holder within three months following the date of such cessation
(provided that such exercise must occur within the Option Period), but not thereafter. In any such case, the Option may be exercised only as to the Shares as to which the Option had become exercisable
on or before the date that the Option Holder ceases to be a Service Provider 




        (e)   Exercise, Payments, etc.



        (i)    The
method for exercising each Option granted under the Plan shall be by delivery to the Corporate Secretary of the Company or an agent designated pursuant to
Section 18 of a notice specifying the number of Shares with respect to which such Option is exercised and payment of the Option Price. Such notice shall be in a form satisfactory to the
Administrator and shall specify the particular Option (or portion thereof) which is being exercised and the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised. The exercise of the
Option shall be deemed effective upon receipt of such notice by the Corporate Secretary or a designated agent and payment to the Company. The purchase of such Stock shall be deemed to take place at
the principal office of the Company upon delivery of such notice, at which time the purchase price of the Stock shall be paid in full by any of the methods or any combination of the methods set forth
in (ii) below. A properly executed certificate or certificates representing the Stock shall be issued by the Company and delivered to the Option Holder. If certificates representing Stock are
used to pay all or part of the Option Price, separate certificates for the same number of shares of Stock shall be issued by the Company and delivered to the Option Holder representing each
certificate used to pay the Option Price, and an additional certificate shall be issued by the Company and delivered to the Option Holder representing the additional shares, in excess of the Option
Price, to which the Option Holder is entitled as a result of the exercise of the Option. 


        (ii)   The
exercise price shall be paid by any of the following methods or any combination of the following methods: 



        (A)  in
cash; 


        (B)  by
cashier's check payable to the order of the Company; 


        (C)  if
authorized by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, by delivery to the Company of certificates representing the number of Shares then owned by the Option Holder,
the Fair Market Value of which equals the purchase price of the Stock purchased pursuant to the Option, properly endorsed for transfer to the Company; provided however, that Shares used for this
purpose must have been held by the Option Holder for more than six months; and provided further that the Fair Market Value of any Shares delivered in payment of the purchase price upon exercise
of the Option shall be the Fair Market Value as of the exercise date, which shall be the date of delivery of the certificates for the Stock used as payment of the Option Price; 



        (D)  if
authorized by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and subject to applicable law, including Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, by delivery by a
Participant (other than an Executive Officer or Director) to the Company of a properly executed notice of exercise together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver to the Company promptly
the amount of the proceeds of the sale of all or a portion of the Stock or of a loan from the broker to the Option Holder necessary to pay the exercise price; or 





9







 






        (E)  if
authorized by the Administrator, in its sole discretion, any combination of these methods. 




        (iii)  In
the sole discretion of the Administrator, the Company may, subject to applicable law, including Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, guaranty a third-party
loan obtained by a Participant (other than an Executive Officer or Director) to pay part or all of the Option Price of the Shares provided that such loan or the Company's guaranty is secured by the
Shares and the loan bears interest at a market rate. The Company may not make or guaranty loans to Executive Officers or Directors. 




        (f)    Date of Grant. An option shall be considered as having been granted on the date specified in the grant resolution of the
Administrator. 


        (g)   No Repricing of Options. The Administrator shall not take any action to reprice the exercise price of any option granted
under the plan without the affirmative vote of the stockholders of the Company, other than with respect to stock splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, liquidations or similar events as provided
elsewhere in the Plan. 



SECTION 8

STOCK AWARDS  


        8.1   Awards Granted by Administrator. Coincident with or following designation for participation in the Plan, a Participant
(other than a Nonemployee Director) may be granted one or more unrestricted Stock Awards or Restricted Stock Awards consisting of Shares. A Stock Award may be paid by delivery of Stock, in cash or in
a combination of Stock and cash, as determined by the Administrator. 


        8.2   Restrictions. A Participant's right to retain a Restricted Stock Award granted to such Participant under
Section 8.1 shall be subject to such restrictions, including but not limited to the Participant's continuing to perform as a Service Provider for a restriction period specified by the
Administrator, or the attainment of specified performance goals and objectives, as may be established by the Administrator with respect to such Award. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion,
require different periods of service or different performance goals and objectives with respect to (i) different Participants, (ii) different Restricted Stock Awards, or
(iii) separate, designated portions of the Shares constituting a Restricted Stock Award. 



        8.3   Privileges of a Stockholder, Transferability. A Participant shall have all voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights
with respect to Stock in accordance with its terms received by such Participant as a Stock Award under this Section 8 upon the Participant's becoming the holder of record of such Stock;
provided, however, that the Participant's right to sell, encumber or otherwise transfer Restricted Stock shall be subject to the limitations of Section 12.2 hereof. 


        8.4   Enforcement of Restrictions. The Administrator may in its sole discretion require one or more of the following methods of
enforcing the restrictions referred to in Section 8.2 and 8.3: 



        (a)   placing
a legend on the stock certificates referring to the restrictions as follows: 


THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE AND TRANSFERABILITY RESTRICTIONS AS SET FROTH IN THE RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SHAREHOLDER AND
CIBER, INC. DATED                        . A COPY OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT IS ON FILE AT THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF
CIBER, INC.



        (b)   requiring
the Participant to keep the stock certificates, duly endorsed, in the custody of the Company while the restrictions remain in effect; or 



10







 




        (c)   requiring
that the stock certificates, duly endorsed, be held in the custody of a third party while the restrictions remain in effect. 




        8.5   Termination of Service, Death or Disability. In the event of the death or disability (within the meaning of
Section 22(e) of the Internal Revenue Code) of a Participant, or the retirement of a Participant as provided in Section 7.2(d)(ii), all service period and other restrictions
applicable to Restricted Stock Awards then held by him shall lapse, and such Awards shall become fully nonforfeitable. Subject to Sections 5 and 10, in the event a Participant ceases to be a
Service Provider for any other reason, any Restricted Stock Awards as to which the service period or other restrictions have not been satisfied shall be forfeited. 


SECTION 9

PERFORMANCE SHARES AND PERFORMANCE UNITS  


        9.1   Awards Granted by Administrator. Coincident with or following designation for participation in the Plan, a Participant
(other than a Nonemployee Director) may be granted Performance Shares or Performance Units. 


        9.2   Amount of Award. The Administrator shall establish a maximum amount of a Participant's Award, which amount shall be
denominated in Shares in the case of Performance Shares or in dollars in the case of Performance Units. 



        9.3   Communication of Award. Written notice of the maximum amount of a Participant's Award and the Performance Cycle
determined by the Administrator shall be given to a Participant as soon as practicable after approval of the Award by the Administrator. 


        9.4   Amount of Award Payable. The Administrator shall establish maximum and minimum performance targets to be achieved during
the applicable Performance Cycle. Performance targets established by the Administrator shall relate to corporate, group, unit or individual performance and may be established in terms of earnings,
growth in earnings, ratios of earnings to equity or assets, or such other measures or standards determined by the Administrator. Multiple performance targets may be used and the components of multiple
performance targets may be given the same or different weighting in determining the amount of an Award earned, and may relate to absolute performance or relative performance measured against other
groups, units, individuals or entities. Achievement of the maximum performance target shall entitle the Participant to payment (subject to Section 9.6) at the full or maximum amount specified
with respect to the Award; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provisions of this Plan, in the case of an Award of Performance Shares the Administrator in its discretion may establish an
upper limit on the amount payable (whether in cash or Stock) as a result of the achievement of the maximum performance target. The Administrator may also establish that a portion of a full or maximum
amount of a Participant's Award will be paid (subject to Section 9.6) for performance which exceeds the minimum performance target but falls below the maximum performance target applicable to
such Award. 


        9.5   Adjustments. At any time prior to payment of a Performance Share or Performance Unit Award, the Administrator may adjust
previously established performance targets or other terms and conditions to reflect events such as changes in laws, regulations, or accounting practice, or mergers, acquisitions or divestitures. 


        9.6   Payments of Awards. Following the conclusion of each Performance Cycle, the Administrator shall determine the extent to
which performance targets have been attained, and the satisfaction of any other terms and conditions with respect to an Award relating to such Performance Cycle. The Administrator shall determine
what, if any, payment is due with respect to an Award and whether such payment shall be made in cash, Stock or some combination. Payment shall be made in a lump sum or installments, as determined by
the Administrator, commencing as promptly as practicable following the 


11







 



end
of the applicable Performance Cycle, subject to such terms and conditions and in such form as may be prescribed by the Administrator. 



        9.7   Termination of Employment. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider before the end of a Performance Cycle by
reason of his death, disability as provided in Section 7.2(d)(iv), or retirement as provided in Section 7.2(d)(ii), the Performance Cycle for such Participant for the purpose of
determining the amount of the Award payable shall end at the end of the calendar quarter immediately preceding the date on which such Participant ceased to be a Service Provider. The amount of an
Award payable to a Participant to whom the preceding sentence is applicable shall be paid at the end of the Performance Cycle and shall be that fraction of the Award computed pursuant to the preceding
sentence the numerator of which is the number of calendar quarters during the Performance Cycle during all of which said Participant was a Service Provider and the denominator of which is the number
of full calendar quarters in the Performance Cycle. Upon any other termination of Participant's services as a Service Provider during a Performance Cycle, participation in the Plan shall cease and all
outstanding Awards of Performance Shares or Performance Units to such Participant shall be canceled. 


SECTION 10

FORMULA AWARDS TO DIRECTORS  


        10.1 Administrator. The Administrator shall have no authority, discretion or power to select the Nonemployee Directors who
will receive any Award, determine the number of shares to be issued hereunder or the time at which such Awards are to be granted, establish the duration of the Awards or alter any other terms or
conditions specified in the Plan, except in the sense of administering the Plan pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. 


        10.2 Number of Option Shares. Upon the initial election or appointment of a Nonemployee Director to the Company's Board,
provided such initial election or appointment occurs after the Effective Date, the Nonemployee Director shall be granted a Non-Statutory Option to purchase 20,000 Shares of Stock (subject
to adjustment pursuant to Section 4 hereof), which option shall become exercisable at the rate of 10,000 Shares of Stock on each of the first two anniversaries of the initial date of grant. In
addition, each Nonemployee Director shall be granted a Non-Statutory Option to purchase 4,000 Shares of Stock on each anniversary of the commencement of his or her initial term of service
on the Board (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4 hereof), which option shall be exercisable one year from the date of grant. Options shall expire, to the extent not exercised,
ten years after the date on which day they were granted. 


        10.3 Price of Option Shares. The exercise price per Share for any Option granted pursuant to this Section 10 shall be
100% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date on which the Nonemployee Director is granted the Option. 



        10.4 Option Termination and Exercise. Options granted to Nonemployee Directors pursuant to this Section 10 shall
provide for exercise and termination as set forth in Sections 7.2(d) and 7.2(e). 


        10.5 Other Terms. Except for the limitations set forth in Sections 5, 10.2, 10.3, and 11, the terms and provisions of Options
shall be as determined from time to time by the Administrator, and Options issued may contain terms and provisions different from other Options granted to the same or other Option recipients. Options
shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement containing such terms and provisions as the Administrator may determine, subject to the provisions of the Plan. 



        10.6 Stock Compensation. The Company shall issue to each Nonemployee Director of the Board, for each meeting of the Company's
Board attended by such Nonemployee Director, a Stock Award for the minimum integral number of Shares of Stock that have an aggregate Fair Market Value of at least [$2,500]. The
Stock Award may be paid by the delivery of Stock, in cash, or in a combination of Stock and cash, as determined by the Administrator. 


12







 



        10.7 Meeting of Board Committees. The Board (and not a committee of the Board), in its sole discretion, may adopt one or more
formulas that provide for granting a specified Award to each Nonemployee Director for attendance at each meeting of designated committees of the Board. The Board may adopt different formulas for the
various committees of the Board, and it may choose to adopt formulas for some committees and not others. Further, any formula may provide for a different grant to members of the committee charged with
additional responsibilities on the committee, such as the chairman. 


SECTION 11

CHANGE IN CONTROL  


        11.1 Options, Restricted Stock. In the event of a change in control of the Company as defined in Section 11.3, then
the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, without obtaining stockholder approval, to the extent permitted in Section 15, take any or all of the following actions: (a) accelerate the
exercise dates of any outstanding Options or make all such Options fully vested and exercisable; (b) grant a cash bonus award to any Option Holder in an amount necessary to pay the Option Price
of all or any portion of the Options then held by such Option Holder; (c) pay cash to any or all Option Holders in exchange for the cancellation of their outstanding Options in an amount equal
to the difference between the Option Price of such Options and the greater of the tender offer price for the underlying Stock or the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of the cancellation of
the Options; (d) make any other adjustments or amendments to the outstanding Options; and (e) eliminate all restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock and deliver Shares free of
restrictive legends to any Participant. 


        11.2 Performance Shares and Performance Units. Under the circumstances described in Section 11.1, the Administrator
may, in its sole discretion, and without obtaining stockholder approval, to the extent permitted in Section 15, provide for payment of outstanding Performance Shares and Performance Units at
the maximum award level or any percentage thereof. 


        11.3 Definition. For purposes of the Plan, a "change in control" shall be deemed to have occurred if: (a) any "person"
or "group" (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than Bobby G. Stevenson or a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an
employee benefit plan of the Company or under a trust, the grantor of which is Bobby G. Stevenson, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange
Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 331/3% of the then outstanding voting stock of the Company; or (b) at any time during any period of three consecutive years (not
including any period prior to the Effective Date), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board (and any new director whose election by the Board or whose nomination for
election by the Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of such period or
whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or (c) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or
consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the
Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets. 


13







 


SECTION 12

CONTINUATION OF SERVICES; TRANSFERABILITY  


        12.1 Continuation of Services. Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award granted under the Plan shall confer upon any
Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his or her services as a Service Provider, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company, subject to the terms of any separate
employment or consulting agreement to the contrary, at any time to terminate such services or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in existence at the time of the
grant of an Award. Whether an authorized leave of absence, or absence in military or government service, shall constitute a termination of Participant's services as a Service Provider shall be
determined by the Administrator at the time of such leave in accordance with then current laws and regulations. 


        12.2 Nontransferability. Except as provided in Section 12.3, no right or interest of any Participant in an Award
granted pursuant to the Plan shall be assignable or transferable during the lifetime of the Participant, except (if otherwise permitted under Section 12.4) pursuant to a domestic relations
order, either voluntarily or involuntarily, or be subjected to any lien, directly or indirectly, by operation of law, or otherwise, including execution, levy, garnishment, attachment, pledge or
bankruptcy. In the event of a Participant's death, a Participant's rights and interests in Options shall, if otherwise permitted under Section 12.4, be transferable by testamentary will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and payment of any amounts due under the Plan shall be made to, and exercise of any Options may be made by, the Participant's legal representatives, heirs or
legatees. If, in the opinion of the Administrator, a person entitled to payments or to exercise rights with respect to the Plan is disabled from caring for his or her affairs because of mental
condition, physical condition or age, payment due such person may be made to, and such rights shall be exercised by, such person's guardian, conservator or other legal personal representative upon
furnishing the Administrator with evidence satisfactory to the Administrator of such status. Transfers shall not be deemed to include transfers to the Company or "cashless exercise" procedures with
third parties who provide financing for the purpose of (or who otherwise facilitate) the exercise of Awards consistent with applicable laws and the authorization of the Administrator. 


        12.3 Permitted Transfers. Pursuant to conditions and procedures established by the Administrator from time to time, the
Administrator may permit Awards (other than Incentive Stock Options) to be transferred to, exercised by and paid to certain persons or entities related to a Participant, including but not limited to
members of the Participant's immediate family, charitable institutions, or trusts or other entities whose beneficiaries or beneficial owners are members of the Participant's immediate family and/or
charitable institutions. In the case of initial Awards, at the request of the Participant, the Administrator may permit the naming of the related person or entity as the Award recipient. Any permitted
transfer shall be subject to the condition that the Administrator receive evidence satisfactory to it that the transfer is being made for estate and/or tax planning purposes on a gratuitous or
donative basis and without consideration (other than nominal consideration). 


        12.4 Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (or in any Stock Option Agreement
evidencing the grant of an Option hereunder) to the contrary, Incentive Stock Options shall be transferable only to the extent permitted by Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code and the
treasury regulations thereunder without affecting the Option's qualification under Section 422 as an Incentive Stock Option. 


SECTION 13

GENERAL RESTRICTIONS  


        13.1 Investment Representations. The Company may require any person to whom an Option or other Award is granted, as a
condition of exercising such Option or receiving Stock under the Award, to give written assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the Company and its counsel to the effect that 


14







 

such
person is acquiring the Stock subject to the Option or the Award for his own account for investment and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to such
other effects as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with federal and applicable state securities laws. Legends evidencing such restrictions may be placed on the certificates
evidencing the Stock. 


        13.2 Compliance with Securities Laws. Each Award shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time counsel to the
Company shall determine that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares subject to such Award upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval
of any governmental or regulatory body, is necessary as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance or purchase of Shares thereunder, such Award may not be accepted or exercised in whole or in
part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or obtained on conditions acceptable to the Administrator. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require
the Company to apply for or to obtain such listing, registration or qualification. 



        13.3 Stock Restriction Agreement. The Administrator may provide that shares of Stock issuable pursuant to an Award shall,
under certain conditions, be subject to restrictions whereby the Company has a right of first refusal with respect to such shares or a right or obligation to repurchase all or a portion of such
shares, which restrictions may survive a Participant's cessation or termination as a Service Provider. 


        13.4 Stockholder Privileges. No Award Holder shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by an
Award until the Award Holder becomes the holder of record of such Stock, and no adjustments shall be made for dividends or other distributions or other rights as to which there is a record date
preceding the date such Award Holder becomes the holder of record of such Stock, except as provided in Section 4. 


SECTION 14

OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS  


        The amount of any compensation deemed to be received by a Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or the grant or vesting of any other Award shall
not constitute "earnings" with respect to which any other benefits of such Participant are determined, including without limitation benefits under any pension, profit sharing, life insurance or salary
continuation plan. 


SECTION 15

PLAN AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION  


        The Board may at any time terminate, and from time-to-time may amend or modify, the Plan; provided, however, that no amendment or
modification may become effective without approval of the amendment or modification by the stockholders if stockholder approval is required to enable the Plan to satisfy any applicable statutory or
regulatory requirements, or if the Company, on the advice of counsel, determines that stockholder approval is otherwise necessary or desirable. 



        No
amendment, modification or termination of the Plan shall in any manner adversely affect any Awards theretofore granted under the Plan, without the consent of the Participant holding
such Awards. 


SECTION 16

WITHHOLDING  


        16.1 Withholding Requirement. The Company's obligations to deliver Shares upon the exercise of an Option, or upon the vesting
of any other Award, shall be subject to the Participant's satisfaction of all applicable federal, state and local income and other tax withholding requirements. The Company may 


15







 

defer
exercise of an Award unless indemnified by the Participants to the Administrator's satisfaction against the payment of any such amount. Further, the Company shall, to the extent permitted by
law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind due to the Participant by the Company. 


        16.2 Withholding with Stock. At the time the Administrator grants an Award, it may, in its sole discretion, grant the
Participant an election to pay all such amounts of tax withholding, or any part thereof, by electing to transfer to the Company, or to have the Company withhold from Shares otherwise issuable to the
Participant, Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld or such lesser amount as may be elected by the Participant. All elections shall be subject to the approval or disapproval
of the Administrator. The value of Shares to be withheld shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined (the "Tax Date").
Any such elections by Participants to have Shares withheld for this purpose will be subject to the following restrictions: 



        (a)   All
elections must be made prior to the Tax Date; 


        (b)   All
elections shall be irrevocable; and 


        (c)   If
the Participant is an "officer" or "director" of the Company within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Participant must satisfy the
requirements of such Section 16 and any applicable rules thereunder with respect to the use of Stock to satisfy such tax withholding obligation. 




        16.3 Incentive Options. In the event that an Option Holder makes a disposition (as defined in Section 424(c) of
the Internal Revenue Code) of any Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the later of (i) the expiration of two years from the date on which the
Incentive Stock Option was granted or (ii) the expiration of one year from the date on which the Option was exercised, the Option Holder shall send written notice to the Company at its
principal office (Attention: Corporate Secretary) of the date of such disposition, the number of shares disposed of, the amount of proceeds received from such disposition, and any other information
relating to such disposition as the Company may reasonably request. The Option Holder shall, in the event of such a disposition, make appropriate arrangements with the Company to provide for the
amount of additional withholding, if any, required by applicable federal and state income tax laws. 


SECTION 17

SECTION 162(M) PROVISIONS  


        17.1 Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if the Administrator determines at the time any Stock
Award or Performance Award is granted to a Participant that such Participant is, or is likely to be at the time he or she recognizes income for federal income tax purposes in connection with such
Award, a "covered employee" within the meaning of 162(m)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, then the Administrator, may provide that this Section 17 is applicable to such Award. 



        17.2 Performance Goals. If an Award is subject to this Section 17, then the lapsing of restrictions thereon and the
distribution of cash, Shares or other property pursuant thereto, as applicable, shall be subject to the achievement of one or more objective performance goals established by the Administrator, which
shall be based on the attainment of one or any combination of the following: specified levels of earnings per share from continuing operations, operating income, revenues, gross margin, return on
operating assets, return on equity, economic value added, stock price appreciation, total stockholder return (measured in terms of stock price appreciation and dividend growth), or cost control, of
the Company or Affiliated Corporation (or any division thereof) for or within which the Participant is primarily employed. Such performance goals also may be based upon the attaining of specified
levels of Company performance under one or more of the measures described above relative 


16







 

to
the performance of other corporations. Such performance goals shall be set by the Administrator within the time period prescribed by, and shall otherwise comply with the requirements of,
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations thereunder. 



        17.3 Adjustments. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan other than Sections 5 and 11, with respect to any Award
that is subject to this Section 17, the Administrator may not adjust upwards the amount payable pursuant to such Award, nor may it waive the achievement of the applicable performance goals
except in the case of the death or disability of the Participant. 


        17.4 Other Restrictions. The Administrator shall have the power to impose such other restrictions on Awards subject to this
Section 17 as it may deem necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards satisfy all requirements for "performance-based compensation" within the meaning of
Section 162(m)(4)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor thereto. 


SECTION 18

BROKERAGE ARRANGEMENTS  


        The Administrator, in its discretion, may enter into arrangements with one or more banks, brokers or other financial institutions to facilitate the exercise of
Options or the disposition of Shares acquired upon exercise of Stock Options, including, without limitation, arrangements for the simultaneous exercise of Stock Options and sale of the Shares acquired
upon such exercise. 


SECTION 19

NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN  


        Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any
limitations on the power or authority of the Board to adopt such other or additional incentive or other compensation arrangements of whatever nature as the Board may deem necessary or desirable or
preclude or limit the continuation of any other plan, practice or arrangement for the payment of compensation or fringe benefits to Employees or Consultants generally, or to any class or group of
Employees or Consultants, which the Company or any Affiliated Corporation now has lawfully put into effect, including, without limitation, any retirement, pension, savings and stock purchase plan,
insurance, death and disability benefits and executive short-term incentive plans. 


SECTION 20

REQUIREMENTS OF LAW  


        20.1 Requirements of Law. The issuance of Stock and the payment of cash pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to all
applicable laws, rules and regulations. 


        20.2 Rule 16b-3. Transactions under the Plan and within the scope of Rule 16b-3 of the
Exchange Act are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan or any action by the Administrator under the Plan fails to
so comply, such provision or action shall, without further action by any person, be deemed to be automatically amended to the extent necessary to effect compliance with Rule 16b-3;
provided, however, that if such provision or action cannot be amended to effect such compliance, such provision or action shall be deemed null and void to the extent permitted by law and deemed
advisable by the Administrator. 


        20.3 Governing Law. The Plan and all agreements hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of
the State of Delaware. 


17







 


SECTION 21

DURATION OF THE PLAN  


        No Award shall be granted under the Plan after ten years from the Effective Date; provided, however, that any Award theretofore granted may, and the
authority of the Board or the Administrator to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award shall, extend beyond
such date.
