Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the success and enhance the value of Pinnacle
West Capital Corporation (the “Company”) by linking the personal interests of the
Participants to those of Company shareholders and by providing the Participants with an incentive
for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to Company shareholders. The Plan is

successful conduct of the Company’s operation is largely dependent.

contingent Awards before the Effective Date provided that the vesting, exercise, or payment of such
Awards is expressly conditioned on shareholder approval and the Awards are void if shareholders do
not approve the Plan.



     2.2 EXPIRATION DATE. The Plan will expire on, and no Award may be granted under the
Plan after, the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. Any Awards that are outstanding on the
tenth anniversary of the Effective Date shall remain in force according to the terms of the Plan

Board. The Committee (or subcommittee thereof) shall consist of at least two individuals, each of
whom qualifies as (a) a “non-employee director” as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(3) of the General Rules
and Regulations of the Exchange Act, and (b) an “outside director” pursuant to Section 162(m) of
the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.



     4.2
ACTION BY THE COMMITTEE. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum.
The acts of a majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, and acts
approved in writing by all of the members of the Committee in lieu of a meeting, shall be deemed
the acts of the Committee. Each member of the Committee is entitled to, in good faith, rely or act
upon any report or other information furnished to that member by any officer or other employee of
the Company or any Subsidiary, the Company’s independent registered public accountants, or any
executive compensation consultant or other professional retained by the Company or the Committee to
assist in the administration of the Plan.



     4.3 AUTHORITY OF COMMITTEE. Subject to any specific designation in the Plan, the
Committee has the exclusive power, authority and discretion to:



          (a) designate Participants to receive Awards;



          (b) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant;

but not limited to, the exercise price, grant price, or purchase price, any restrictions or
limitations on the Award, any schedule for lapse of forfeiture



6









 




restrictions or restrictions on the exercisability of an Award, and accelerations or waivers
thereof, based in each case on such considerations as the Committee in its sole discretion
determines; provided, however, that the Committee shall not (i) have the authority to accelerate
the vesting or waive the forfeiture of any Performance-Based Awards, or (ii) take any action or
fail to take any action with respect to the operation of the Plan that would cause all or part of
the payment under any Award to be subject to the additional tax under Section 409A of the Code;




          (e) determine whether, to what extent, and pursuant to what circumstances an Award may be
settled in, or the exercise price of an Award may be paid in, cash, Stock, other Awards, or other
property, or an Award may be canceled, forfeited, or surrendered;



          (f) prescribe the form of each Award Agreement, which need not be identical for each
Participant;



          (g) decide all other matters that must be determined in connection with an Award;



          (h) establish, adopt, or revise any rules and regulations as it may deem necessary or
advisable to administer the Plan;



          (i) interpret the terms of, and any matter arising pursuant to, the Plan or any Award

an Award Agreement as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan.



     4.4 DECISIONS BINDING. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, any Awards granted
pursuant to the Plan, any Award Agreement and all decisions and determinations by the Committee
with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties.



ARTICLE 5

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN




     5.1 NUMBER OF SHARES. Subject to the possible increases provided by Section 5.2 with
respect to shares that become available under the Prior Plans and the adjustment provided in
Article 13, the aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved and available for grant
pursuant to the Plan shall be [8,000,000]. Any shares of Stock issued in connection with Awards
other than Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be counted against the shares available for
grant pursuant to the previous sentence as two shares for every one share issued in connection with
such Award. Any shares of Stock issued in connection with the exercise of an Option or SAR shall
be counted against the shares of Stock available for grant as one share.



7









 





     5.2 SHARE CALCULATIONS. Shares of Stock that are potentially deliverable under any
Award that expires or is canceled, forfeited, settled in cash or otherwise terminated without a
delivery of such shares to the Participant will not be counted against the limit set forth in
Section 5.1. In addition, shares of Stock that have been issued in connection with any
Award (e.g., Restricted Stock) that is canceled, forfeited, or settled in cash such that those
shares are returned to the Company will again be available for grant. Any shares of Stock that are
potentially deliverable under any award granted under a Prior Plan will be added to the number of
shares of Stock available for grant under Section 5.1 if the award expires or is canceled
or terminated without a delivery of such shares to the Participant. In addition, any shares of
Stock that have been issued in connection with any award granted under a Prior Plan will be added
to the number of shares available for grant under Section 5.1 if the award is canceled,
forfeited or terminated such that those shares are returned to the Company. This Section
5.2 shall apply to the share limit imposed to conform to the regulations promulgated under the
Code with respect to Incentive Stock Options only to the extent consistent with applicable
regulations relating to Incentive Stock Options under the Code. The payment of Dividend
Equivalents in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not be counted against the shares
available for issuance under the Plan if the Dividend Equivalents are paid in cash. The exercise
of a stock-settled SAR or net-cashless exercise of an Option (or a portion thereof) will reduce the
number of shares of Stock available for issuance pursuant to Section 5.1 by the entire
number of shares of Stock subject to that SAR or Option (or applicable portion thereof), even
though a smaller number of shares of Stock will be issued upon such an exercise. Also, shares of
Stock tendered to pay the exercise price of an Option or tendered or withheld to satisfy a tax
withholding obligation arising in connection with an Award will not become available for grant or
sale under the Plan. The Committee may adopt such other reasonable rules and procedures as it
deems to be appropriate for purposes of determining the number of shares of Stock that are
available for Awards pursuant to Section 5.1.



     5.3 STOCK DISTRIBUTED. Any Stock distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in
whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury Stock or Stock purchased on the open
market.



     5.4 INDIVIDUAL LIMITATION ON NUMBER OF SHARES SUBJECT TO AWARDS. Notwithstanding any
provision in the Plan to the contrary, and subject to the adjustment in Article 13, the
maximum number of shares (counted, as described in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above) of Stock
with respect to one or more Awards that may be granted to any one Participant during a calendar
year shall be 500,000.

     7.1 GENERAL. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to Participants on the
following terms and conditions:

price for any Option shall not be less than the Fair Market Value as of the date of grant.



          (b) Time and Conditions of Exercise. The Committee shall determine the time or times

Plan must comply with the following additional provisions of this Section 7.2:



          (a) Exercise Price. Subject to Section 7.2(e), the exercise price per share
of Stock shall be set by the Committee, provided that the exercise price for any Incentive Stock

ten years from the date of its grant.



          (c) Lapse of Option. An Incentive Stock Option shall lapse in the following
circumstances:



               (1) The Incentive Stock Option shall lapse ten years from the date it is granted, unless an
earlier time is set in the Award Agreement.



               (2) The Incentive Stock Option shall lapse upon termination of employment for any reason other
than the Participant’s death or disability, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.



               (3) If the Participant terminates employment on account of disability or death before the
Option lapses pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) above, the Incentive Stock Option shall lapse,
unless it is previously exercised, on the earlier of (i) the scheduled termination date of the
Option; or (ii) 12 months after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment on account
of disability or death. Upon the Participant’s disability or death, any Incentive Stock Options
exercisable at the Participant’s disability or death may be exercised by the Participant’s legal
representative or representatives, by the person or persons entitled to do so pursuant to the
Participant’s last will and testament, or, if the Participant fails to make testamentary
disposition of such Incentive Stock Option or dies intestate, by the person or persons entitled to
receive the Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year



10









 




may not exceed $100,000.00 or such other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code,
or any successor provision. To the extent that Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a
Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Stock
Options.




          (e) Ten Percent Owners. An Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual
who, at the date of grant, owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting
power of all classes of Stock of the Company only if such Option is granted at a price that is not
less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is exercisable for no more
than five years from the date of grant.



          (f) Expiration of Incentive Stock Options. No Award of an Incentive Stock Option may
be made pursuant to this Plan after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date.



          (g) Right to Exercise. Except as provided in Section 7.2(c)(3) and in

the Fair Market Value (determined as of a specified date) of a specified number of shares of Stock
depending on the satisfaction of any one or more of the Performance Criteria or any other specific
performance criteria determined to be appropriate by the Committee. Performance may be measured on
a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Committee. The
Performance Share Units shall be settled in Stock or cash as specified in the Award Agreement.



          (c) Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Restricted Stock Unit Awards will grant the
Participant the right to receive a specified number of shares of Stock, or a cash payment equal to
the Fair Market Value (determined as of a specified date) of a specified number of shares of
Stock, subject to any vesting or other restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. These
restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, pursuant to such circumstances,
in such installments, or otherwise, as the Committee determines at the time of the grant of the
Award or thereafter. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of
the Award or thereafter, upon termination of employment during the applicable restriction period,
Restricted Stock Units that are at that time subject to restrictions shall be forfeited; provided,
however, that the Committee may provide in any Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement that
restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted Stock Units will be waived in whole or
in part in the event of terminations resulting from specified causes, and the Committee may in
other cases waive in whole or in part restrictions or forfeiture conditions relating to Restricted
Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units shall be settled in Stock or cash as specified in the
Award Agreement.



          (d) Performance Cash Awards. Performance Cash Awards will grant the Participant the
right to receive an amount of cash depending on the satisfaction of any one or more of the
Performance Criteria or other specific criteria determined to be appropriate by the Committee.
Performance may be measured on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined
by the Committee.



          (e) Dividend Equivalent Awards. Dividend Equivalent Awards will grant the Participant
the right to receive a payment, with or without interest, based on the dividends declared on the
shares of Stock that are subject to any Award, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during
the period between the date the Award is granted and the date the Award is exercised, vests or
expires, as determined by the Committee. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or
additional shares of Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may
be determined by the Committee. Dividend Equivalents will not be granted with respect to Options
or SARs.



          (f) Stock Grant Awards. Stock Grant Awards will grant the Participant the right to
receive (or purchase at such price as determined by the Committee) shares of Stock free of any
vesting restrictions. Any purchase price for a Stock Grant Award shall be payable in cash or other
form of consideration acceptable to



13









 




the Committee. A Stock Grant Award may be granted or sold as described in the preceding
sentence in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of any cash
compensation due to such Participant.




     10.2 COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 409A. Some of the Awards that may be granted pursuant to
the Plan (including, but not necessarily limited to, Performance Share Awards, Performance Share
Unit Awards, Performance Cash Awards and Restricted Stock Unit Awards) may be considered to be
“non-qualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A of the Code. If an Award is subject
to Section 409A, the Award Agreement and this Plan are intended to comply fully with and meet all
of the requirements of Section 409A and the Award Agreement shall include such provisions as may be
necessary to assure compliance with Section 409A. An Award subject to Section 409A also shall be
administered in good faith compliance with the provisions of Section 409A as well as applicable
guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Treasury. To the extent
necessary to comply with Section 409A, any Award that is subject to Section 409A may be modified,
replaced or terminated in the discretion of the Committee. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Committee determines that any
Award is or may become subject to Section 409A, the Company may adopt such amendments to the Plan
and the related Award Agreements, without the consent of the Participant, or adopt other policies
and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effective dates), or
take any other action that the Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to either comply
with Section 409A or to exclude or exempt the Plan or any Award from the requirements of Section
409A.



ARTICLE 11

PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS




     11.1 PURPOSE. The purpose of this Article 11 is to enable the Committee, in
the exercise of its discretion, to qualify some or all of the Awards granted pursuant to
Articles 9 and 10 as “performance-based compensation” pursuant to Section 162(m) of the
Code. The Committee has complete discretion concerning whether a particular Award should be
qualified as “performance-based compensation.” If the Committee concludes that a particular Award
should not be qualified as “performance-based compensation,” the Committee may grant the Award
without satisfying the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Committee, in its
discretion, decides that a particular Award to a Covered Employee should qualify as
“performance-based compensation,” the Committee will grant a Performance-Based Award to the Covered
Employee and the provisions of this Article 11 then shall control over any contrary
provision contained in Articles 9 or 10.



     11.2 APPLICABILITY. This Article 11 shall apply only to those Covered
Employees selected by the Committee to receive Performance-Based Awards. The designation of a
Covered Employee as a Participant for a Performance Period shall not in any manner entitle the
Participant to receive an Award for the period. Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee as a
Participant for a particular Performance Period



14









 




shall not require designation of such Covered Employee as a Participant in any subsequent
Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee as a Participant shall not require
designation of any other Covered Employees as a Participant in such period or in any other period.




     11.3 DISCRETION OF COMMITTEE WITH RESPECT TO PERFORMANCE AWARDS. With regard to a
particular Performance Period, the Committee shall have full discretion to select the length of
such Performance Period, the type of Performance-Based Awards to be issued, the kind and/or level
of the Performance Goal, and whether the Performance Goal is to apply to the Company, a Subsidiary
or any division or business unit thereof.



     11.4 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION; ADJUSTMENT OF GOALS. At the time that a
Performance-Based Award is first issued, the Committee, in the Award Agreement or in another
written document, shall specify whether performance will be evaluated including or excluding the
effect of any of the following events that occur during the Performance Period:



          (a) Judgments entered or settlements reached in litigation;



          (b) The write down of assets;



          (c) The impact of any reorganization or restructuring;



          (d) The impact of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, regulatory actions or other laws
affecting reported results;



          (e) Extraordinary non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations
appearing in the Company’s annual report to shareholders or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case
may be, for the applicable year;



          (f) The impact of any mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs or other divestitures; and



          (g) Foreign exchange gains and losses.


The inclusion or exclusion of these items shall be expressed in a form that satisfies the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee, in its discretion, also may, within the
time prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code, adjust or modify the calculation of Performance
Goals for such Performance Period in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of
Participants (i) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual or extraordinary corporate
item, transaction, event, or development, or (ii) in recognition of, or in anticipation of, any
other unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the
Company, or in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations,
accounting principles, or business conditions.




15









 








     11.5 PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. Unless otherwise provided in the relevant
Award Agreement, a Participant must be employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the day a
Performance-Based Award for such Performance Period is paid to the Participant. Furthermore, a
Participant shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a
Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved. In determining the
actual size of an individual Performance-Based Award, the Committee may reduce or eliminate the
amount of the Performance-Based Award earned for the Performance Period, if in its sole and
absolute discretion, such reduction or elimination is appropriate.



     11.6 MAXIMUM AWARD PAYABLE. The maximum Performance-Based Award (other than a
Performance Cash Award) payable to any one Participant pursuant to the Plan for a Performance
Period is 500,000 shares of Stock or the equivalent cash value. The maximum Performance Cash Award
payable to any one Participant for any Performance Period is $5,000,000.



ARTICLE 12

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS




     12.1 STAND-ALONE AND TANDEM AWARDS. Awards granted pursuant to the Plan may, in the
discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other
Award granted pursuant to the Plan. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards
may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other
Awards.



     12.2 TERM OF AWARD. The term of each Award shall be for the period determined by the
Committee, provided that in no event shall the term of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right
exceed a period of ten years from the date of its grant.



     12.3 AWARD AGREEMENT. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award Agreements
that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award, including, but not limited
to, the term of the Award, the provisions applicable in the event the Participant’s employment or
service terminates and the Company’s authority to unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify,
suspend, cancel or rescind an Award.



     12.4 FORM OF PAYMENT FOR AWARDS. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable
law or Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary on the
grant, exercise or settlement of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee determines at
or after the time of grant, including, without limitation, cash, promissory note, Stock held for
more than six months, other Awards, or other property, or any combination, and may be made in a
single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case determined in
accordance with rules adopted by, and at the discretion of, the Committee.



16









 





     12.5 LIMITS ON TRANSFER.



          (a) General. Except as provided in Section 12.5(b) or Section 12.6,
no right or interest of a Participant in any Award may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated to,
or in favor of, any party other than the Company or a Subsidiary, or shall be subject to any lien,
obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or a
Subsidiary. Except as provided in Section 12.5(b) or Section 12.6, and except as
otherwise provided by the Committee, no Award shall be assigned, transferred, or otherwise disposed
of by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.



          (b) Transfers to Family Members. The Committee shall have the authority, in its
discretion, to grant (or to sanction by way of amendment to an existing Award) Awards which may be
transferred by the Participant during his or her lifetime to any Family Member (as defined below).
A transfer of an Award pursuant hereto may only be effected by the Company at the written request
of the Participant. In the event an Award is transferred as contemplated herein, such transferred
Award may not be subsequently transferred by the transferee (other than another transfer meeting
the conditions herein) except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. A transferred Award
shall continue to be governed by and subject to the terms and limitations of the Plan and relevant
Award Agreement, and the transferee shall be entitled to the same rights as the Participant, as if
the transfer had not taken place. For purposes of this Section 12.5(b), the term “Family
Member” means a Participant’s spouse and any parent, stepparent, grandparent, child, stepchild, or
grandchild, including adoptive relationships or a trust or any other entity in which these persons
(or the Participant) have more than 50% of the beneficial interest.



     12.6 BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 12.5, a Participant may, in the
manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the
Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death,
and, in accordance with Section 7.2(c)(3), upon the Participant’s disability. A
beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to
the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to
the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any
additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is
married and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the
Participant’s spouse as his beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest
in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse.
If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the
person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution.
Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at
any time provided the change or revocation is provided to the Committee.



     12.7 STOCK CERTIFICATES. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates



17









 




evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board
has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in
compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable,
the requirements of any exchange or quotation system on which the shares of Stock are listed,
quoted or traded. All Stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any
stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply
with Federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and regulations and
the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is
listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference
restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the
Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and
representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such
laws, regulations, or requirements.




     12.8 ACCELERATION UPON A CHANGE OF CONTROL. If a Change of Control occurs and Awards
are converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor, the Committee shall have the discretion to
cause all outstanding Awards to become fully exercisable and all restrictions on outstanding Awards
to lapse prior to the Change of Control. If a Change of Control occurs and Awards are not
converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor, all outstanding Awards shall automatically become
fully exercisable and all restrictions on outstanding Awards shall lapse. To the extent that this
provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Section
7.2(d), the excess Options shall be deemed to be Non-Qualified Stock Options. Upon, or in
anticipation of, such an event, the Committee may cause every Award outstanding hereunder to
terminate at a specific time in the future and shall give each Participant the right to exercise
Awards during a period of time as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall
determine.



     12.9 DEFERRAL PURSUANT TO DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN. The Award Agreement for any
Award other than an Option or Restricted Stock Award may allow the Participant to defer receipt of
any compensation attributable to the Award pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Deferred
Compensation Plan of 2005. Any such Award Agreement shall comply with the requirements of Section
409A of the Code.



ARTICLE 13

CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE




     13.1 ADJUSTMENTS. If there shall occur any merger, consolidation, liquidation,
issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend, spin-off, split-off, stock split, reverse stock split or other distribution with respect
to the shares of Stock, or any similar corporate transaction or event in respect of the Stock, then
the Committee shall, in the manner and to the extent that it deems appropriate and equitable to the
Participants and consistent with the terms of this Plan, cause a proportionate adjustment to be
made in (i) the maximum numbers and kind of shares provided in Section 5.1 hereof, (ii) the
maximum numbers and kind



18









 




of shares set forth in Section 5.4 and Section 11.6 hereof and any other
similar numeric limit expressed in the Plan, (iii) the number and kind of shares of Stock, share
units, or other rights subject to the then-outstanding Awards, (iv) the price for each share or
unit or other right subject to then outstanding Awards without change in the aggregate purchase
price or value as to which such Awards remain exercisable or subject to restrictions, (v) the
performance targets or goals appropriate to any outstanding Performance-Based Awards (subject to
such limitations as appropriate for Awards intended to qualify for exemption under Section 162(m)
of the Code) or (vi) any other terms of an Award that are affected by the event. Moreover, in the
event of any such transaction or event, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in
substitution for any or all outstanding Awards under the Plan such alternative consideration
(including cash) as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable under the circumstances and
may require in connection therewith the surrender of all Awards so replaced. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any such adjustments shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code and, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, any such adjustments shall be
made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.




     13.2 NO OTHER RIGHTS. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall
have any rights by reason of any merger, consolidation, liquidation, issuance of rights or warrants
to purchase securities, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, spin-off, split-off,
stock split, reverse stock split or other distribution with respect to the shares of Stock, or any
similar corporate transaction or event in respect of the Stock. Except as expressly provided in
the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible
into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made
with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award or the exercise price of any
Award.



ARTICLE 14

AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION




     14.1 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION. With the approval of the Board, at any
time and from time to time, the Committee may terminate, amend or modify the Plan; provided,
however, that (a) to the extent necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock
exchange rule, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment in such a manner
and to such a degree as required, (b) shareholder approval is required for any amendment to the
Plan that (i) increases the number of shares available under the Plan (other than any adjustment as
provided by Article 13), (ii) permits the Committee to grant Options with an exercise price
that is below Fair Market Value on the date of grant, (iii) permits the Committee to extend the
exercise period for an Option beyond ten years from the date of grant, or (iv) amends Section
7.1(e) to permit the Committee to reprice previously granted Options, and (c) no such action shall
be taken that would cause all or part of the payment under any Award to be subject to the
additional tax under Section 409A of the Code. Additional rules relating to amendments to the Plan
or any Award Agreement to assure compliance with Section 409A of the Code are set forth in
Section 10.2.



19









 





     14.2 AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2
or pursuant to Section 12.3, no termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan shall
adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted pursuant to the Plan without the
prior written consent of the Participant.



ARTICLE 15

GENERAL PROVISIONS




     15.1 NO RIGHTS TO AWARDS. No Participant, employee, or other person shall have any
claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is
obligated to treat Participants, employees, and other persons uniformly.



     15.2 NO SHAREHOLDERS RIGHTS. No Award gives the Participant any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company unless and until shares of Stock are in fact issued to such person in
connection with such Award.



     15.3 WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the
right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient
to satisfy Federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required
by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a Participant arising as a
result of this Plan. With the Committee’s consent as expressed in an Award Agreement or in any
policy adopted by the Committee, a Participant may elect to (a) have the Company withhold from
those shares of Stock that would otherwise be received upon the exercise of any Option, a number of
shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount necessary to satisfy the
Company’s applicable federal, state, local or foreign income and employment tax withholding
obligations with respect to such Participant, or (b) tender previously-owned shares of Stock held
by the Participant for six months or longer to satisfy the Company’s applicable federal, state,
local, or foreign income and employment tax withholding obligations with respect to the
Participant.



     15.4 NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement
shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate
any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to
continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary.



     15.5 UNFUNDED STATUS OF AWARDS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for
incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an
Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights
that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.



     15.6 RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken
into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any pension,



20









 




retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the
Company or any Subsidiary, except as otherwise provided in such plan.




     15.7 EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.



     15.8 TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for
convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than
such titles or headings, shall control.



     15.9 FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and the
Committee shall determine, in its discretion, in the Award Agreement or pursuant to any policy
adopted by the Committee whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such
fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.



     15.10 SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. With respect to any person who is, on the relevant
date, obligated to file reports pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions pursuant
to this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors
pursuant to the Exchange Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee
fails to so comply, it shall be void to the extent permitted by law and voidable as deemed
advisable by the Committee.



     15.11 GOVERNMENT AND OTHER REGULATIONS. The obligation of the Company to make payment
of awards in Stock or otherwise shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations,
and to such approvals by government agencies as may be required. The Company shall be under no
obligation to register pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any of the shares of
Stock paid pursuant to the Plan. If the shares paid pursuant to the Plan may in certain
circumstances be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Company may restrict the transfer of such shares in such manner as it deems advisable to ensure the
availability of any such exemption.



     15.12 GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Arizona.
