Mr. John S. Hendricks
Discovery Communications, Inc.
One Discovery Place
Silver Spring, MD  20910

Dear John:  

This letter, with attached exhibits, sets out our agreement about your retirement from Discovery Communications, Inc. (the “Company”).  This letter supersedes our letter agreement dated July 30, 2008 regarding your position with the Company.

1.    You have asked to retire from your position as Executive Chairman and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”), effective as of May 16, 2014 (your “Retirement Date”).  For purposes of clarity, as of the close of business on your Retirement Date you will cease to be an officer of the Company and a member of the Board.  Consequently, you will no longer be authorized to incur any expense, obligation or liability on behalf of the Company, to direct employees or to bind the Company in any way, and you agree that you will not engage in any of those activities, or hold yourself out as an officer of the Company or as otherwise having the authority to engage in any of those activities. 

2.    Effective upon your Retirement Date, you will no longer receive a salary.  You will no longer be eligible for any employee benefits offered by the Company, and you will not be eligible to receive an annual bonus for 2014.  Nevertheless, you may, at your expense, elect to continue coverage under the Company’s group medical plan in accordance with “COBRA,” and/or purchase coverage through the “access-only” plan the Company makes available to eligible retirees.  The Company will not pay any further premiums under The Restated and Amended Split-Dollar Agreement, dated April 15, 2011, which will terminate in accordance with its terms.  Nothing in this letter agreement will be construed as changing your entitlement to receive vested benefits under the terms of any employee benefit plans or equity incentive plans in which you participate.  Any outstanding equity you hold as of the Retirement Date will continue to be paid, or be exercisable, in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing such outstanding equity (as amended by this letter agreement).

3.    In recognition of your founding the Company and your long service to the Company, subject to the conditions in part (4), below, you will be treated as if your employment terminated as a result of your “Retirement” (after age 65) under the Equity Stake Transition Agreement dated November 5, 2008, such that all unvested nonqualified stock options to purchase Series A common stock of the Company granted to you pursuant to that agreement (such options having been awarded in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011) shall be immediately vested as of the Retirement Date and will remain exercisable for their original term. 
    
4.    In exchange for the agreement to treat you as having retired under the Equity Stake Transition Agreement, you agree to (i) no later than April 30, 2014, execute and deliver (and not revoke) the General Liability Release in the form of Exhibit A, which is attached to and made part of this letter 

agreement, and (ii) no later than the Retirement Date, enter into the Non-Competition Agreement in the form of Exhibit B, which is attached to and made part of this letter agreement.  

John, there is no way for the Discovery family to thank you for all you have done.  We wish you great joy and success with your new endeavors.

Sincerely yours,

Discovery Communications, Inc.

GENERAL LIABILITY RELEASE
FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION PAID, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, I, John S. Hendricks, for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns, do hereby release, acquit and forever discharge Discovery Communications, Inc. (“DCI”), its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates and related entities, as well as all of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, members, partners, agents, employees and representatives (hereafter collectively, the “DCI Parties”), from all obligations, claims, demands, covenants, contracts, promises, agreements, liabilities, controversies, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, actions or causes of action whatsoever, whether known or unknown, I ever had or now have or claim to have against the DCI Parties from the beginning of the world to the day and date hereof, including any claim relating to the termination of my employment with DCI, and further including specifically but not exclusively, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any and all claims, demands and causes of action, known or unknown, arising out of any transaction, act or omission concerning my former employment by DCI and/or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and all claims of every kind that may arise under any federal, state or local statutory or common law, including the federal Age Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Maryland Human Rights Act, as well as any similar state or local statute(s), in each case as any such law may be amended from time to time; or any action arising in tort or contract.
I hereby acknowledge that my attorney has advised me regarding, and that I am familiar with, the fact that certain state statutes provide that general releases do not extend to claims that I do not know or suspect to exist in my favor at the time I execute such a release, which if known by me may have materially affected my execution of this release.  Being aware of such statutes, I hereby expressly waive and relinquish any rights or benefits I may have under such statutes, as well as any other state or federal statutes or common law principles of similar effect.  I also hereby specifically and knowingly waive the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which reads:  A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Civil Code Section 1542 stated above and for the purpose of implementing a full and complete release and discharge of the DCI Parties, I expressly acknowledge that this General Liability Release is intended to include in its effect all claims that I do not know or suspect to exist in my favor at the time I sign this General Liability Release.
I hereby acknowledge that I am executing this General Liability Release pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated March 25, 2014 (the “Agreement”), and that certain consideration to be provided to me pursuant to the Agreement is in addition to what I would have been entitled to receive in the absence of this General Liability Release.  I hereby acknowledge that I am executing this General Liability Release voluntarily and with full 

- 1 -

knowledge of all relevant information and any and all rights I may have.  I hereby acknowledge that I have been advised to consult with an independent attorney of my own choosing in connection with this General Liability Release to explain to me the legal effect of the terms and conditions of this General Liability Release.  I hereby acknowledge that I am voluntarily and knowingly agreeing to the terms and conditions of this General Liability Release without any threats, coercion or duress, whether economic or otherwise, and that I agree to be bound by the terms of this General Liability Release.  I acknowledge that I have been given twenty-one (21) days to consider this General Liability Release, and I understand that I have seven (7) days following my execution of this General Liability Release in which to revoke my agreement to comply with this General Liability Release by providing written notice of revocation to the General Counsel of DCI no later than three business days following such period.
I further hereby covenant and agree that this General Liability Release shall be binding in all respects upon myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and transferees and all persons claiming under them, and shall inure to the benefit of all of the DCI Parties.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed this General Liability Release this 25th day of 
March, 2014.

WHEREAS, the Executive’s right to receive such treatment is conditioned, in part, on Executive’s signing and abiding by the terms of this Non-Competition Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:  
1.    Covenants.  As a means to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests, including protection of the “Confidential Information” of the Company (Executive hereby agreeing and acknowledging that the activities prohibited by this Paragraph 1 would necessarily involve the use of Confidential Information), during the “Restricted Period”, without the prior written approval of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board Committee”), Executive shall not, directly, indirectly or as an agent on behalf of any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity (other than the Company or any Company Entity):
(a)    solicit for employment, consulting or any other provision of personal services, or hire, any person who is (i) a full-time or part-time employee of (or in the preceding six (6) months was employed by) the Company (or a Company Entity); or (ii) an individual performing, on average, twenty or more hours per week of personal services as an independent contractor to the Company (or a Company Entity).  This covenant includes, but is not limited to, inducing or attempting to induce, or influencing or attempting to influence, any such person to terminate his or her employment or performance of services with or for the Company (or a Company Entity); or 
(b) (i)    solicit or encourage any person or entity who is, or within the prior six (6) months was, a customer, producer, advertiser, distributor or supplier of the Company (or a Company Entity) to discontinue such person’s or entity’s business relationship with the Company (or a Company Entity); or (ii) discourage any prospective customer, producer, advertiser, distributor or supplier of the Company (or a Company Entity) from becoming a customer, producer, advertiser, distributor or supplier of the Company (or a Company Entity), including, without limitation, making any negative statements or communications about the Company (or a Company Entity) or their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents; provided that the restrictions of this Paragraph 1(b) shall apply only to customers, producers, advertisers, distributors or suppliers 

- 1 -

of the Company with which Executive had personal contact, or for whom Executive had some responsibility in the performance of Executive’s duties for the Company; or 
(c)    hold any interest in (whether as owner, investor, shareholder, lender or otherwise) or perform any services for (whether as employee, consultant, advisor, director or otherwise), including the service of providing advice for, a “Competitive Business” regardless of whether such business is located in the United States or anywhere else in the world.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may own, directly or indirectly, (i) an aggregate of not more than 2% of the outstanding publicly traded stock or other publicly traded equity interest in any entity that engages in a Competitive Business, so long as such ownership therein is solely as a passive investor and does not include the performance of any services (as director, employee, consultant, advisor or otherwise) to such entity; and (ii) any interests in Hendricks Investment Holdings, LLC (“HIH”) and the associated businesses used to carry out the business activities and interests of HIH, as described by Discovery Holding Company (on behalf of the Company as registrant) in the Form S-4/A (p. 27) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 6, 2008 (the “SEC Form S-4”).
2.    Confidentiality. Executive shall not, directly, indirectly or as an agent on behalf of any person, firm, partnership, corporation or other entity (other than the Company or any Company Entity): 
(a) (i)  use for the benefit, purposes or account of himself or any other person or entity (other than the Company and Company Entities), or (ii) disclose, divulge, reveal, communicate, share, transfer or provide access to any person or entity outside the Company and Company Entities (other than their shareholders, directors, officers, managers, employees, agents, counsel, investment advisers or representatives in the normal course of the performance of their duties), any Confidential Information without the prior written authorization of the Board Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 2(a)(i), this Non-Competition Agreement shall not preclude the Executive from disclosing the Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation (including complying with any oral or written questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar legal process to which Executive is subject), provided that the Executive gives the Company prompt notice of such request(s), to the extent practicable, so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or similar relief (and the Executive shall cooperate with such efforts by the Company, and shall in any event make only the minimum disclosure required by such law, rule or regulation).  Nothing contained herein shall prevent the use in any formal dispute resolution proceeding (subject, to the extent possible, to a protective order) of Confidential Information in connection with the assertion or defense of any claim, charge or other dispute by or against the Company (or a Company Entity) or the Executive; or 
(b)    continue to use, or commence using, any Confidential Information or intellectual property (including any patent, invention, copyright, trade secret, trademark, trade name, logo, domain name or other source indicator) owned or used by the Company (or a Company Entity) except to the extent authorized by a separate written license; and Executive shall immediately destroy, delete, or return to the Company (at the Company’s option) all originals and copies in any 

- 2 -    

form or medium (including memoranda, books, papers, plans, computer files, letters and other data) in the Executive’s possession or control (including any of the foregoing stored or located in the Executive’s office, home, laptop or other computer, whether or not such computer is Company property) that contain Confidential Information or otherwise relate to the business of the Company, except that Executive may retain only those portions of any personal notes, notebooks and diaries that do not contain any Confidential Information.  The Executive will notify and fully cooperate with the Company regarding the delivery or destruction of any other Confidential Information of which Executive is or becomes aware.  
3.    Definitions.
(a)    A “Competitive Business” shall be any business that directly competes with the Company for viewers, advertisers, distributors, producers, actors or the like in (i) the production, post-production assembly, or distribution/delivery by electronic means (including, but not limited to, broadcast, cable, satellite, or the internet) of video entertainment, or (ii) the exploitation of video entertainment through retail sales establishments, theatres or the internet.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is not intended to prohibit the Executive from working for or engaging in activities on behalf of a business primarily engaged in the production, distribution and exploitation of video entertainment in the form of motion pictures intended primarily for theatrical release or computer-based gaming, such as Lions Gate Entertainment, Paramount Pictures and Electronic Arts (as those businesses are constituted and operated in 2014), or the production of life-long learning multimedia, on-line and lecture materials for distribution by HIH’s “learning academy” as described in the SEC Form S-4.
(b)    “Company Entity” shall mean the Company, any subsidiary of the Company and any other entity of which the Company, directly or indirectly, owns fifty percent (50%) or more of the profits or voting interests.
(c)    “Confidential Information” shall mean any non-public, proprietary or confidential information (including trade secrets, know-how, research and development, software, databases, inventions, processes, formulae, technology, designs and other intellectual property, information concerning finances, investments, profits, pricing, costs, products, services, vendors, customers, clients, partners, investors, personnel, compensation, recruiting, training, advertising, sales, marketing, promotions, government and regulatory activities and approval) concerning the past, current or future business, activities and operations of the Company, any Company Entities and/or any third party that has disclosed or provided any of same to the Company on a confidential basis.  Confidential Information shall not include any information that is (A) generally known to the industry or the public other than as a result of the Executive’s breach of his duties to the Company; (B) is or was available to the Executive on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to such Executive by the Company (or a Company Entity), or (C) made available to Executive by a third party who, to the best of such Executive’s knowledge, is or was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the Company (or a Company Entity) or another person or entity.  
(d)    The “Restricted Period” shall begin on the Effective Date and shall expire on the third anniversary thereof. 

- 3 -    

4.    Reasonableness and Enforcement of Covenants.  The Executive acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the services he has provided to the Company have been of a special, unique and extraordinary nature; (ii) the restrictions contained in this Non-Competition Agreement are necessary to prevent the use and disclosure of Confidential Information and to protect other legitimate business interests of the Company; (iii) all of the restrictions in this Non-Competition Agreement are reasonable in all respects, including duration, territory and scope of activity; (iv) the restrictions contained in this Non-Competition Agreement shall be construed as separate agreements independent of each other and any other agreement between the Executive and the Company; (v) the existence of any claim or cause of action by the Executive against the Company, whether predicated on this Non-Competition Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Company of the covenants and restrictions in this Non-Competition Agreement; and (vi) the restrictive covenants contained in this Non-Competition Agreement are a material part of the Executive’s obligations for which the Company has compensated Executive.  
5.    Remedies.
(a)    Remedies.  Executive agrees that if he, or any affiliate of his, engages or threatens to engage in any activity that constitutes a violation of any of the provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement, the Company shall have the right and remedy to have the provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement specifically enforced to the extent permitted by law by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any breach of this Non-Competition Agreement would cause immediate irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy at law for any breach.  Therefore, Executive agrees that the Company, without limiting any other legal or equitable remedies available to it, shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief by temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunction or otherwise from any court of competent jurisdiction (without the requirement of posting a bond or other security), including, without limitation, injunctive relief to prevent Executive’s failure to comply with the terms and conditions of Paragraph 1 or 2 of this Agreement.  Such right and remedy shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, including the right to seek monetary damages.  In addition, the Restricted Period shall be tolled on a day-for-day basis for each day during which the Executive violates the provisions of Paragraph 1 above in any respect, so that the Executive is restricted from engaging in the activities prohibited by Paragraph 1 for the full period. 
(b)  Reformation.  It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law.  If any term or provision of this Non-Competition Agreement is determined to be void, illegal, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction in any jurisdiction, then such term or provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement in any other jurisdiction and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified by such court so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  The language used in this Non-Competition Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict 

- 4 -    

construction shall be applied against any party.  If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce one or more of the covenants set forth in Paragraph 1 or 2 of this Non-Competition Agreement because the duration is too long or the scope is too broad, it is expressly agreed between the Company and the Executive that the court making such determination shall be empowered to reduce the duration and scope of the covenants set forth herein to the extent necessary to permit enforcement of such covenants.
6.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    Notices.  All notices, demands and requests required or permitted to be given under the provisions of this Agreement shall be (a) in writing, (b) sent by telecopy or email (with receipt personally confirmed by telephone), delivered by personal delivery, sent by nationally reputable commercial overnight delivery service or sent by registered or certified U.S. mail, with return receipt requested, (c) deemed to have been given on the date telecopied or emailed with receipt confirmed, the date of personal delivery or the date set forth in the records of the delivery service or on the return receipt, and (d) addressed as follows:

(iii)    to any other or additional persons and addresses as the parties may from time to time designate in a writing delivered in accordance with this Paragraph 6(a).
(b)  Benefit and Binding Effect.  The Executive may not assign this Non-Competition Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company.  The Company may assign its rights under this Non-Competition Agreement to any other person or entity that (i) acquires ownership or control of the Company, (ii) acquires substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (iii) is a successor entity through merger, conversion or other transaction or series of transactions.  This Non-Competition Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, so that the Executive and any of his affiliates will be precluded from competing against the Company, and interfering with the business of the Company, pursuant to Paragraph 1 for the full Restricted Period.  
(c)     Governing Law.  This Non-Competition Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland (without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof).  Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Non-Competition Agreement shall be brought against any of the parties in the courts of the State of Maryland or in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland in Greenbelt, Maryland, and each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction 

- 5 -    

of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein.
(d)    Entire Agreement.  This Non-Competition Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof.  In entering into this Non-Competition Agreement, the Executive is not relying on any statements or representations not contained in this Non-Competition Agreement.  This Non-Competition Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof, between the parties hereto.
(e)    Headings.  The headings herein are included for ease of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of the provisions of this Non-Competition Agreement.
(f)    Amendments/Waivers.  This Non-Competition Agreement cannot be amended, supplemented or changed except by an agreement in writing that makes specific reference to this Non-Competition Agreement and which is signed by the party against which enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, or modification is sought.  Any waiver of any provision of this Non-Competition Agreement must be in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver.
(g)    Counterparts.  This Non-Competition Agreement may be signed in counterparts with the same effect as if the signature on each counterpart were upon the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Non-Competition Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

(i)    The Performance Criteria that will be used to establish Performance Goals are limited to the following: the following business criteria with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary or any division or operating unit thereof:  (A) revenue, (B) sales, (C) cash flow, (D) earnings per share of Common Stock (including earnings before any one or more of the following: (1) interest, (2) taxes, (3) depreciation, or (4) amortization), (E) return on equity, (F) total stockholder return, (G) return on invested capital, (H) return on assets or net assets, (I) income or net income or pre-tax income, (J) operating income or net operating income, (K) operating profit or net operating profit, (L) operating margin, (M) cost reductions or savings or expense management, (N) appreciation in the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock, (O) research and development expenses (including research and development expenses as a percentage of sales or revenues), (P) working capital, (Q) market share, (R) completion of acquisitions and partnerships, (S) implementation of new technology by customers or partners, (T) completion of settlements and/or licensing arrangements, and (U) new product or technology development milestones.

(ii)    The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, provide that one or more objectively determinable adjustments will be made to one or more of the Performance Goals established for any Performance Period.  Such adjustments may include one or more of the following: (A) items related to a change in accounting principles, (B) items relating to financing activities, (C) expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives, (D) non-cash charges, including those relating to share-based awards, (E) other non-operating items, (F) items related to acquisitions or other strategic transactions, (G) items attributable to the business operations of any entity acquired by us during the Performance Period, (H) items related to the disposal of a business of segment of a business, (I) items related to discontinued operations that do not qualify as a segment of a business under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), (J) items attributable to any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares occurring during the Performance Period, (K) any other items of significant income or expense which are determined to be appropriate adjustments, (L) items relating to unusual or extraordinary corporate transactions, events or developments, (M) items related to amortization of acquired intangible assets, (N) items that are outside the scope of our core, on-going business activities, or (O) items relating to any other unusual or nonrecurring events or changes in applicable laws or business conditions.  
(vv)    “Performance Goals” means, for a Performance Period, the goals established in writing by the Administrator for the Performance Period based upon the Performance Criteria.  Depending on the Performance Criteria used to establish such Performance Goals, the Performance Goals may be expressed in terms of overall Company performance or the performance of a Subsidiary, division or other operational unit.  The Administrator, in its discretion, 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.  Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator at the time of grant, the Performance Goals with respect to an Award payable to a Section 162(m) Participant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP.
(ww)    “Performance Period” means the one or more periods of time, which may be of varying and overlapping durations, as the Administrator may select, over which the attainment of one or more Performance Goals will be measured for the purpose of determining a Participant’s right to, and the payment of, an Award that is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.
(xx)    “Plan” means this Fifth Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan.
(yy)    “Restricted Stock” means shares of Common Stock awarded under Section 8 below.
(zz)    “Rule 16b-3” means that certain Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time.
([[)    “Section 16(b)” means Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(aaa)    “Section 162(m) Participant” shall mean any key Employee designated by the Administrator as a key Employee whose compensation for the fiscal year in which the key Employee is so designated or a future fiscal year may be subject to the limit on deductible compensation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code.
(bbb)    “Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any successor statute or statutes thereto.  Reference to any particular Securities Act section shall include any successor section.
(ccc)    “Service Provider” means an Employee, Director or Consultant.
(ddd)    “Share” means a share of the Common Stock, as adjusted in accordance with Section 13 below.
(eee)    “Stock Appreciation Right” shall mean a stock appreciation right granted under Section 10 of the Plan.
(fff)    “Stock Payment” shall mean (i) a payment in the form of shares of Common Stock, or (ii) an option or other right to purchase shares of Common Stock, as part of a deferred compensation arrangement, made in lieu of all or any portion of the compensation, including without limitation, salary, bonuses and commissions, that would otherwise become payable to a Service Provider in cash, awarded under Section 9(d) of the Plan.
(ggg)    “Subsidiary” means a “subsidiary corporation,” whether now or hereafter existing, as defined in Section 424(f) of the Code.
3.    Stock Subject to the Plan.  Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be subject to Awards under the Plan is the sum of: (a) 19,192,997 shares, plus (b) with respect to options granted under the Tessera, Inc. 1999 Stock Plan that are assumed by the Company and expire or are canceled without having been exercised in full, the number of Shares subject to each such option as to which such option was not exercised prior to its expiration or cancellation (as of the Effective Date, the number of shares that may become subject to Awards under the Plan pursuant to this clause (b) shall not exceed 85,794 shares); provided, however, that each Share issued under the Plan pursuant to a Full-Value Award shall reduce the number of available Shares by one and one-half (1.5) shares.  Shares issued upon exercise of Awards may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.  The Shares may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.
If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated).  If Shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited back to the Company or repurchased by the Company at a price not greater than their original exercise price and pursuant to the exercise of the Company’s repurchase rights or the forfeiture provisions under the Plan, such Shares shall become available for future grant under the Plan.  To the extent that Shares are delivered pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the number of underlying Shares as to which the exercise related shall be counted against the Plan’s share limits set forth above, as opposed to only counting the Shares actually issued.  For example, if a Stock Appreciation Right relates to 100,000 Shares and is exercised at a time when the payment due to the Holder is 50,000 Shares, 100,000 Shares shall be charged against the Plan’s share limits with respect to such exercise.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no Shares may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under Code Section 422.
4.    Administration of the P1an.
(t)    Administrator.  A Committee of the Board shall administer the Plan and the Committee shall consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors each of whom is both an “outside director,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, and a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, and such Committee shall be otherwise comprised to comply with all Applicable Laws.  Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may (i) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Non-Employee Directors the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are either (1) not then “covered employees,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and are not expected to be “covered employees” at the time of recognition of income resulting from such award or (2) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code and/or (ii) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not “non-employee directors,” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.  In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b‐3 or Section 162(m) of the Code, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect to Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors.
(u)    Powers of the Administrator.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:
(i)    to determine the Fair Market Value;
(ii)    to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may from time to time be granted hereunder;
(iii)    to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each such Award granted hereunder;
(iv)    to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;
(v)    to determine the terms and conditions of any Awards granted hereunder.  Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;
(vi)    to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub‐plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws;
(vii)    to allow Holders to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.  All elections by Holders to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and
(viii)    to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan.
(v)    Effect of Administrator’s Decision.  All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Holders.
(w)    Provisions Applicable to Section 162(m) Participants.
(i)    The Administrator, in its discretion, may determine whether an Award is to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code. 
(ii)    Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator may grant any Award to a Section 162(m) Participant, including Restricted Stock the restrictions with respect to which lapse upon the attainment of Performance Goals which are related to one or more of the Performance Criteria and any performance or incentive award described in Section 9 that vests or becomes exercisable or payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals which are related to one or more of the Performance Criteria.
(iii)    To the extent necessary to comply with the performance-based compensation requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted under Sections 8 and 9 which may be granted to one or more Section 162(m) Participants, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any Performance Period (or such other time as may be required or permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Administrator shall, in writing, (A) designate one or more Section 162(m) Participants, (B) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (C) establish the various Performance Goals, in terms of an objective formula or standard, and amounts of such Awards which may be earned for such Performance Period, and (D) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards to be earned by each Section 162(m) Participant for such Performance Period.  Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Administrator shall certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period.  In determining the amount earned by a Section 162(m) Participant, the Administrator shall have the right to reduce (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Administrator may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period.  
(iv)    Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award, the Plan and any Award which is granted to a Section 162(m) Participant and is intended to qualify as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m) of the Code) or any regulations or rulings issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.
5.    Eligibility.
(t)    General Eligibility.  Awards may be granted to Service Providers.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.  Each Non-Employee Director of the Company shall be eligible to be automatically granted Options at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 11.
(u)    No Right to Continuing Service.  Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon any Holder any right with respect to continuing the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.
(v)    Award Limit.  No Service Provider shall be granted, in any calendar year, Awards to purchase more than 1,500,000 Shares.  The foregoing limitation shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 13.  For purposes of this Section 5(c), if an Option is canceled in the same calendar year it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 13), the canceled Option will be counted against the limit set forth in this Section 5(c).  For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction shall be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option.  In addition, the maximum amount that may be paid in cash during any calendar year with respect to any Award to a Section 162(m) Participant shall be $1,500,000.
6.    Term of Plan.  The Plan shall become effective on the date the Plan is approved by the Company’s stockholders (the “Effective Date”).  Unless sooner terminated under Section 15 of the Plan, the Plan shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years after the first to occur of (a) the date the Plan is adopted by the Board or (b) the Effective Date.
7.    Terms of Options.  
(t)    Limitations on Incentive Stock Options.  Each Option shall be designated in the applicable Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Holder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For purposes of this Section 5(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.
(u)    Term of Option.  The term of each Option shall be stated in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term of an Option shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Holder who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. 
(v)    Option Exercise Price.  The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant, except that a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be granted with a per Share exercise price that is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant so long as any Shares delivered in respect of such Option shall be charged against the Plan’s share limits set forth in Section 3 as a Full-Value Award; provided, further, that the per Share exercise price shall be no less than the par value per Share of the Common Stock, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns (or is treated as owning under Code Section 424) stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price per Share shall be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(w)    Consideration.  The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by the Administrator (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant).  Such consideration may consist of (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) with the consent of the Administrator, a full recourse promissory note bearing interest (at no less than such rate as is a market rate of interest and which then precludes the imputation of interest under the Code) and payable upon such terms as may be prescribed by the Administrator, (iv) with the consent of the Administrator, other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Holder for more than six (6) months, or the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes, on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised, (v) with the consent of the Administrator, delivery of a notice that the Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Options and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option exercise price, provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (vi) with the consent of the Administrator, any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.  In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company.  In the case of a promissory note, the Administrator may also prescribe the form of such note and the security to be given for such note.  The Option may not be exercised, however, by delivery of a promissory note or by a loan from the Company when or where such loan or other extension of credit is prohibited by law, and payment in the manner prescribed by the preceding sentences shall not be permitted to the extent that the Administrator determines that payment in such manner may result in an extension or maintenance of credit, an arrangement for the extension of credit, or a renewal of an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any Director or executive officer of the Company that is prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law.
(x)    Exercise of Option.
(i)    Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.  Any Option granted hereunder shall be vested and exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement.    Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence.  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (A) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, (B) such representations and documents as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with Applicable Laws, (C) upon the exercise of all or a portion of an unvested Option pursuant to Section 8(h), a Restricted Stock purchase agreement in a form determined by the Administrator and signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option; and (D) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, including payment of any applicable withholding tax.  Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan.  Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Holder, in the name of the Holder and his or her spouse.  Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.
(ii)    Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.  If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider other than by reason of the Holder’s death or Disability, such Holder may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination.  If, on the date of termination, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(iii)    Disability of Optionee.  If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Holder’s Disability, the Holder may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Holder’s termination.  If, on the date of termination, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(iv)    Death of Optionee.  If a Holder dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement, by the Holder’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant).  In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination.  If, at the time of death, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan.  The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Holder’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Holder’s will or the laws of descent or distribution.  If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(y)    Regulatory Extension.  A Holder’s Award Agreement may provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Holder’s status as a Service Provider (other than upon the Holder’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Section 7(b) or (ii) the expiration of a period of thirty (30) days after the termination of the Holder’s status as a Service Provider during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements.
(z)    Early Exercisability.  The Administrator may provide in the terms of a Holder’s Award Agreement that the Holder may, at any time before the Holder’s status as a Service Provider terminates, exercise the Option in whole or in part prior to the full vesting of the Option; provided, however, that Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option which has not fully vested may be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, transfer or other restrictions as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion. 
(aa)    Options in Lieu of Compensation.  Options may be granted under the Plan to Employees and Consultants in lieu of cash bonuses which would otherwise be payable to such Employees and Consultants and to Non-Employee Directors in lieu of directors’ fees which would otherwise be payable to such Non-Employee Directors, pursuant to such policies which may be adopted by the Administrator from time to time.
8.    Restricted Stock Awards.
(t)    Rights to Purchase.  Restricted Stock may be issued to Service Providers either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan.  After the Administrator determines that it will offer Restricted Stock under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and the time within which such person must accept such offer; provided, however, that the purchase price shall be no less than the par value of the Common Stock to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law.  Restricted Stock may also be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company for its benefit.  The offer shall be accepted by execution of an Award Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.
(u)    Repurchase Option; Forfeiture.  Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Award Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Holder’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability).  If no cash consideration was paid by the Holder upon issuance, a Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company, without consideration, upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Holder’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability).  The purchase price for Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to such repurchase right and the rate at which such repurchase right or forfeiture provisions shall lapse shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and shall be set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that, except with respect to shares of Restricted Stock granted to Section 162(m) Participants, by action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, remove any or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the Award Agreement.  Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire.  
(v)    Other Provisions.  The Award Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
(w)    Rights as a Stockholder.  Once Restricted Stock is issued, the Holder shall have rights equivalent to those of a stockholder and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.  No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Restricted Stock is issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan.
9.    Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents, Deferred Stock and Stock Payments.
(t)    Eligibility.  One or more Performance Awards, Dividend Equivalents, awards of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payments may be granted to any Service Provider whom the Administrator determines should receive such an Award.
(u)    Performance Awards. 
(i)    Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted one or more Performance Awards.  The value of such Performance Awards may be linked to any one or more of the Performance Goals or other specific performance goals determined appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator.  In making such determinations, the Administrator shall consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the particular Service Provider. 
(ii)    Without limiting Section 9(b)(i), the Administrator may grant Performance Awards to any Section 162(m) Participant in the form of a cash bonus payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals which are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of the Performance Criteria over a Performance Period determined by the Administrator.  Any such cash Performance Award paid to a Section 162(m) Participant shall be based upon Performance Goals established in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(d).  
(v)    Dividend Equivalents.  
(v)    Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date a Stock Appreciation Right, Deferred Stock or Performance Award is granted, and the date such Stock Appreciation Right, Deferred Stock or Performance Award is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Administrator.  Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator.
(vi)    Any Holder of an Option who is a Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date an Option is granted, and the date such Option is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Administrator.  Such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator.
(vii)    Dividend Equivalents granted with respect to Options intended to be qualified performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code shall be payable, with respect to pre-exercise periods, regardless of whether such Option is subsequently exercised.
(w)    Stock Payments.  Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may receive Stock Payments in the manner determined from time to time by the Administrator.  The number of shares shall be determined by the Administrator and may be based upon the Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Administrator, determined on the date such Stock Payment is made or on any date thereafter.
(x)    Deferred Stock.  Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted an award of Deferred Stock in the manner determined from time to time by the Administrator.  The number of shares of Deferred Stock shall be determined by the Administrator and may be linked to the Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined to be appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator.  Common Stock underlying a Deferred Stock award will not be issued until the Deferred Stock award has vested, pursuant to a vesting schedule or performance criteria set by the Administrator.  Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, a Holder of Deferred Stock shall have no rights as a Company stockholder with respect to such Deferred Stock until such time as the Award has vested and the Common Stock underlying the Award has been issued.
(y)    Term.  The term of a Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment shall be set by the Administrator in its discretion.
(z)    Exercise or Purchase Price.  The Administrator may establish the exercise or purchase price of a Performance Award, shares of Deferred Stock or shares received as a Stock Payment; provided, however, that such price shall not be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law.
(aa)    Exercise Upon Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.  A Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment is exercisable or payable only while the Holder is a Service Provider, as applicable; provided, however, that the Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that the Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent, award of Deferred Stock and/or Stock Payment may be exercised or paid subsequent to a termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider following a “change of control or ownership” (within the meaning of Section 1.162-27(e)(2)(v) or any successor regulation thereto) of the Company; provided, further, that except with respect to Performance Awards granted to Section 162(m) Participants, the Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that Performance Awards may be exercised or paid following a termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider without cause, or following a change in control of the Company, or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise.

(bb)    Form of Payment.  Payment of the amount determined under Section 9(b) or 9(c) above shall be in cash, in Common Stock or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator.

10.    Stock Appreciation Rights.  
(t)    Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights.  A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any Service Provider selected by the Administrator.  A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted (i) in connection and simultaneously with the grant of an Option, (ii) with respect to a previously granted Option, or (iii) independent of an Option.  A Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall impose and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.
(u)    Coupled Stock Appreciation Rights.
(viii)    A Coupled Stock Appreciation Right (“CSAR”) shall be related to a particular Option and shall be exercisable only when and to the extent the related Option is exercisable.
(ix)    A CSAR may be granted to the Holder for no more than the number of shares subject to the simultaneously or previously granted Option to which it is coupled.
(x)    A CSAR shall entitle the Holder (or other person entitled to exercise the Option pursuant to the Plan) to surrender to the Company unexercised a portion of the Option to which the CSAR relates (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company in exchange therefor an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the Option exercise price from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the CSAR by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the CSAR shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Administrator may impose.
(v)    Independent Stock Appreciation Rights.
(i)    An Independent Stock Appreciation Right (“ISAR”) shall be unrelated to any Option and shall have a term set by the Administrator; provided, that the term of an ISAR shall be no more than ten (10) years.  An ISAR shall be exercisable in such installments as the Administrator may determine.  An ISAR shall cover such number of shares of Common Stock as the Administrator may determine.  The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to each ISAR shall be set by the Administrator; provided, that the per share exercise price of an ISAR shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant of such ISAR, except that an ISAR may be granted with a per share exercise price that is less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant so long as any Shares delivered in respect of such ISAR shall be charged against the Plan’s share limits set forth in Section 3 as a Full-Value Award; provided, further, that the per share exercise price of an ISAR shall be no less than the par value per share of the Common Stock, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law.  An ISAR is exercisable only while the Holder is a Service Provider; provided that the Administrator may determine that the ISAR may be exercised subsequent to termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider without cause, or following a change in control of the Company, or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise.
(ii)    An ISAR shall entitle the Holder (or other person entitled to exercise the ISAR pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the ISAR (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price per share of the ISAR from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the ISAR by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the ISAR shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Administrator may impose.
(w)    Payment and Limitations on Exercise.
(i)    Payment of the amounts determined under Section 9(b)(iii) and 9(c)(ii) above shall be in cash, in Common Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator.  To the extent such payment is effected in Common Stock it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Section 16.
(ii)    Holders of Stock Appreciation Rights may be required to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.  
11.    Automatic Awards to Non-Employee Directors.
(t)    During the term of the Plan, a person who is initially elected or appointed to the Board and who is a Non-Employee Director at the time of such initial election or appointment automatically shall be granted 10,000 shares of Restricted Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13) on the date of such initial election or appointment (an “Initial Restricted Stock Award”).  
(u)    In addition, during the term of the Plan, each Non-Employee Director automatically shall be granted a combination of Options and/or Restricted Stock on the date of each annual meeting of stockholders (a “Subsequent Award”); provided, however, that a person who is initially elected to the Board at an annual meeting of stockholders and who is a Non-Employee Director at the time of such initial election shall receive only an Initial Restricted Stock Award on the date of such election and shall not receive a Subsequent Award until the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders following such initial election.  Each Subsequent Award shall consist of (i) an Option to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (A) the dollar amount of the Subsequent Award to be paid in Options, if any, by (B) (1) the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the date of grant of such Option divided by (2) two (2) (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13) (a “Subsequent Option”), and (ii) such number of shares of Restricted Stock as is determined by dividing (A) the dollar amount of the Subsequent Award to be paid in Restricted Stock, if any, by (B) the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the date of grant of such Restricted Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13) (a “Subsequent Restricted Stock Award”).  The Compensation Committee of the Board shall determine the allocation of each Subsequent Award among Options and/or Restricted Stock prior to the date of grant of such Subsequent Award; provided, however, that the total dollar value of each Subsequent Award shall equal $100,000.  Members of the Board who are employees of the Company who subsequently retire from the Company and remain on the Board will not receive an Initial Restricted Stock Award pursuant to Section 11(a) above, but to the extent that they are otherwise eligible, will receive, after retirement from employment with the Company, Subsequent Awards as described in the preceding sentence.  
(v)    The exercise price per share of the shares subject to each Subsequent Option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.  
(w)    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, Initial Restricted Stock Awards and Subsequent Restricted Stock Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to this Section 11 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 8.  Initial Restricted Stock Awards and Subsequent Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to forfeiture to the Company upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Non-Employee Director’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability).  Initial Restricted Stock Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors shall be released from the forfeiture restriction over four (4) years, with twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to each Restricted Stock Award being released from the forfeiture restriction on each of the first four (4) anniversaries of the date of grant of the Award, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.  Subsequent Restricted Stock Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors shall be released from the forfeiture restriction on the first anniversary of the date of grant of the Award, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.  
(x)    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, Subsequent Options granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to this Section 11 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.  Subsequent Options granted to Non-Employee Directors shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant of the Subsequent Option, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.  Subject to Sections 7(e)(ii), (iii) and (iv), the term of each Option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall be ten (10) years from the date the Subsequent Option is granted.  
12.    Non‐Transferability of Awards.  
(a)    No Award under the Plan may be sold, pledged, assigned hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed.  
(b)    During the lifetime of the Holder, only he or she may exercise an Award (or any portion thereof) granted to him or her under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of with the consent of the Administrator pursuant to a DRO.  After the death of the Holder, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable award Agreement, be exercised by his or her personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Holder’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution
13.    Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale.
(t)    Subject to Section 13(e), in the event that the Administrator determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin‐off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, affects the Common Stock (other than an Equity Restructuring) such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of:
(iii)    the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted or awarded (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued and adjustments of the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased by any Holder in any calendar year pursuant to Section 5(c), and adjustments of the manner in which shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted);
(iv)    the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; and
(v)    the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award.
(u)    Subject to Sections 13(d) and (e), in the event of any transaction or event described in Section 13(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Holder’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan or to facilitate such transaction or event:
(i)    To provide for either the purchase of any such Award for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested or the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;
(ii)    To provide that such Award shall be exercisable as to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;
(iii)    To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;
(iv)    To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards or Awards which may be granted in the future; and
(v)    To provide that immediately upon the consummation of such event, such Award shall not be exercisable and shall terminate; provided that for a specified period of time prior to such event, such Award shall be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, and the restrictions imposed under an Award Agreement upon some or all Shares may be terminated.
(v)    Subject to Section 3, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Award Agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company.
(w)    In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation or any other entity or the exchange of substantially all of the outstanding stock of the Company for shares of another entity or other property in which, after either transaction the prior stockholders of the Company own less than fifty percent (50%) of the voting shares of the continuing or surviving entity, or in the event of the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (either event, a “Change of Control”), then each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation.  In the event that the successor corporation or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for each outstanding Option, the Holders shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise each outstanding Option as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which would not otherwise be vested or exercisable.  If an Option becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change of Control, the Administrator shall notify all Holders that all outstanding Options shall be fully exercisable for a period of at least fifteen (15) days prior to the closing of the Change of Control, and any Options that are not exercised within such period shall terminate immediately prior to the Change of Control.  For the purposes of this paragraph, all outstanding Options shall be considered assumed if, following the consummation of the Change of Control, the Option confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Option immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities property) received in the Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option, for each Share subject to the Option, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent or Subsidiary equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control.
(x)    With respect to Awards which are granted to Section 162(m) Participants and are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C), no adjustment or action described in this Section 13 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause such Award to fail to so qualify under Section 162(m)(4)(C), or any successor provisions thereto. No adjustment or action described in this Section 13 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code.  Furthermore, no such adjustment or action shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions.  
(y)    In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 13(a) and 13(b):
(i)    The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, shall be equitably adjusted.  The adjustments provided under this Section 13(f) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Holder and the Company.    
(ii)    The Administrator shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the Administrator may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued under the Plan or the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased by any Holder in any calendar year pursuant to Section 5(c), and adjustments of the manner in which shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted).
14.    Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights.  The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator.  Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
15.    Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
(t)    Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(u)    Stockholder Approval; Prohibition on Repricing Without Stockholder Approval.  The Board shall obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Section 422 of the Code or Applicable Laws.  In addition, notwithstanding any provision in this Plan to the contrary, absent approval of the stockholders of the Company, no Award may be amended to reduce the per share exercise price of the Shares subject to such Award below the per Share exercise price as of the date the Award is granted and, except as permitted by Article 13, no Award may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of an Award having a higher per share exercise price.
(v)    Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Holder, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Holder and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Holder and the Company.  Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.
16.    Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
(t)    Legal Compliance.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
(u)    Investment Representations.  As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.
17.    Tax Withholding.  The Company shall be entitled to require payment in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to each Holder of any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award.  The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow such Holder to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under such Award (or allow the return of shares of Common Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Holder of such Award within six (6) months after such shares of Common Stock were acquired by the Holder from the Company) in order to satisfy the Holder’s federal and state income and payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income.
18.    Loans.  The Administrator may, in its discretion, extend one or more loans to Service Providers in connection with the exercise or receipt of an Award granted or awarded under the Plan.  The terms and conditions of any such loan shall be set by the Administrator.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no loan shall be made under this Section to the extent such loan shall result in an extension or maintenance of credit, an arrangement for the extension of credit, or a renewal of an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any Director or executive officer of the Company that is prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law.  In the event that the Administrator determines in its discretion that any loan under this Section may be or will become prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law, the Administrator may provide that such loan shall be immediately due and payable in full and may take any other action in connection with such loan as the Administrator determines in its discretion to be necessary or appropriate for the repayment, cancellation or extinguishment of such loan.
1.    Section 16.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b‐3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.
2.    Inability to Obtain Authority.  The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.
3.    Reservation of Shares.  The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.
4.    Stockholder Approval.  The Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted.  Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws.  In addition, if the Board determines that Awards which may be granted to Section 162(m) Participants should continue to be eligible to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, the Performance Criteria must be disclosed to and approved by the Company’s stockholders no later than the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which the Company’s stockholders previously approved the Performance Criteria.
5.    Governing Law.  The validity and enforceability of this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law.
23.    Section 409A.  To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date.  Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.

The Company may designate Awards to Employees pursuant to Section 102 as Non-Trustee 102 Awards or Trustee 102 Awards, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 102.  Trustee 102 Awards may either be classified as CGAs or OIAs  (the “Tax Route(s)”). No Trustee 102 Awards may be granted under this Sub-Plan to any eligible Employees, until the lapse of at least 30 days from the day the Sub-Plan and the Company’s election of the type of Trustee 102 Awards (as CGA or OIA) (the “Election”), is appropriately filed with the ITA.  Such Election shall become effective beginning with the date of grant of the first Trustee 102 Award under this Sub-Plan, and shall remain in effect at least until the end of the year following the year during which the Company first granted Trustee 102 Awards under this Sub-Plan.  The Election shall obligate the Company to grant only the type of Trustee 102 Award it has elected (CGA or OIA) during the period indicated in the preceding sentence, and shall apply to all Trustee 102 Awards granted during the period the Election is in effect, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102(g) of the Ordinance. For the avoidance of doubt, such Election shall not prevent the Company from granting Non-Trustee 102 Awards to the eligible Employees at any time.
(b)    Issuance of Shares to Trust.  In the event the Company grants Trustee 102 Awards, each Award, and each Share issued pursuant to or upon the exercise of an Award (and any other Right received in respect of such Shares while such Shares are held in the Trust) shall be deposited with the Trustee and held in Trust for the benefit of the Holder, for the period of time required by Section 102 (the “Minimum Trust Period”), until such time that such Awards, Shares or Rights are released from the Trust as herein provided.  The Trustee shall hold such Awards, Shares or Rights pursuant to the instructions provided by the Administrator from time to time, provided such instructions are consistent with the terms of the Plan and the Sub-Plan, the Trust Agreement and all Applicable Laws.  Upon grant of a Trustee 102 Award, the Holder will sign an undertaking declaring that he/she is familiar with the provisions of Section 102 and the elected Tax Route and that he/she undertakes not to sell or transfer the Trustee 102 Awards or Rights prior to the lapse of the Minimum Trust Period, unless he/she pays all taxes, which may arise in connection with such sale and/or transfer.  

(c)    Minimum Trust Period; Release of Awards and Shares from Trust.  With respect to any Trustee 102 Awards, subject to the provisions of Section 102, in order to obtain favorable Trustee 102 Awards tax treatment, a Holder shall not be entitled to sell or release from Trust any Award, Share issued pursuant to or upon the exercise of any Award and/or any Rights received with respect to such Trustee 102 Award, until the lapse of the Minimum Trust Period required under Section 102.  Notwithstanding the above, if any such sale or release occurs during the Minimum Trust Period, the implications under Section 102 shall apply to, and shall be borne by, such Holder. In the event the requirements for Trustee 102 Awards are not met, then the Trustee 102 Awards shall be regarded as Non-Trustee 102 Awards, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102.

(d)    Condition to Release of Awards and Shares from Trust.  No 102 Awards or Shares issued upon the exercise of an Award (or Rights received in respect of such Shares while such Shares are held in the Trust) shall be sold or released from the Trust to the Holder unless and until such Holder shall have satisfied all of such Holder’s tax obligations with respect to such Awards, Shares or Rights (including, without limitation, social security and health insurance payments, if applicable) and shall have provided the Trustee with sufficient confirmation of the satisfaction of such tax obligations, in a form satisfactory in the opinion of the Trustee.  The Holder shall satisfy such tax obligations in any manner contemplated by Section 6 below.  

(e)    Rights as a Stockholder While Shares are Held in Trust.  Once Restricted Stock is issued and/or Shares are issued upon the exercise of an Option or vesting of Deferred Stock, the Holder shall have rights equivalent to those of a stockholder and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.  The Holder shall be entitled to receive dividends with respect to such Shares and to vote the same at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company.  For so long as such Shares are held in the Trust by the Trustee on behalf of a Holder, the cash dividends paid with respect thereto shall be remitted directly to such Holder.  In the event a stock dividend (including bonus Shares and any Rights with respect to the Shares) is declared on Shares held in the Trust by the Trustee on behalf of a Holder, such stock dividend shall be issued to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holder, shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan and this Sub-Plan, and the Minimum Trust Period for such Rights shall be measured from the commencement of the Minimum Trust Period applicable to such Shares with respect to which the dividend was declared, subject to Applicable Laws.  Furthermore, such Rights shall be subject to the Taxation Route under Section 102, which is applicable to such Shares.  No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other Right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in the Plan and in this Sub-Plan.  For so long as Shares are held in Trust by the Trustee on behalf of a Holder, the voting rights at the Company’s general meeting attached to such Shares will remain with the Trustee.  However, the Trustee shall not exercise such voting rights at general meetings.  The Trustee shall not be required to notify the Holder of any Shares held in the Trust of any meeting of the Company’s stockholders.
(f)    Non-transferability of Awards Held in Trust.  Without derogating from the limitations on transferability of Awards as specified in the Plan and in this Sub-Plan, as long as Awards are held by the Trustee on behalf of a Holder, such Awards may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
(g)    Certain Awards Not Required to be Held in Trust.  Section 3(9) Awards and Non-Trustee 102 Awards (including any Rights received with respect thereof) are not required to be held in the Trust and shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.
6.    Tax Implications. 
(a)     Tax Consequences.  Any tax consequences arising from the grant, exercise (if applicable), or vesting of any Awards, from the payment for Shares covered thereby, or from any other event or act (of the Company, its Parent or Subsidiary, the Trustee or the Holder), hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Holder (including, without limitation, the Holder’s social security and national health insurance payments, if applicable). The Company and/or its Parent or Subsidiary, and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, the Holder shall agree to indemnify the Company and/or its Parent or Subsidiary and/or the Trustee and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or other payment or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Holder.
(b)     Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to require payment in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to each Holder of any taxes or other sums required by all Applicable Laws to be paid or withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise, sale or release from the Trust of any Award or any Shares issued upon the exercise of an Award (or Rights issued with respect to such Shares).  The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow such Holder to satisfy such tax or other obligations by the delivery to the Company, the Trustee or the appropriate authorities of cash in an amount equal to the sums required to be paid or withheld, may also allow such Holder to elect to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable under such Award or may allow the return of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be paid or withheld.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan and this Sub-Plan, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise, sale or release from the Trust of any Award or any Shares issued upon the exercise of an Award (or Rights issued with respect to such Shares) (or which may be repurchased from the Holder of such Award within six (6) months after such Shares were acquired by the Holder from the Company) in order to satisfy the Holder’s tax or other liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise, sale or release from the Trust of any Award or any Shares issued upon the exercise of an Award (or Rights issued with respect to such Shares), shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the statutory tax rates that are applicable to such taxable income.  In addition, without derogating from the Holder’s obligations to pay taxes or other sums as and when due, upon the sale by a Holder of any Shares held in the Trust or release of such Shares from the Trust, the Company may (by itself or through the Trustee) withhold from the proceeds of such sale all applicable taxes or other amounts, in which event the Company (or the Trustee) shall remit the amount withheld to the appropriate authorities, shall pay the remaining balance of such sale proceeds to the Holder and shall report to such holder the amount so withheld and paid to said authorities.
(c)     No Release of Awards or Shares Until Payments Made.  The Company and/or, when applicable, the Trustee shall not be required to release any Award and/or Shares to a Holder until all required payments have been fully made. 
(d)     Guarantee. With respect to a Non-Trustee 102 Award, if the Holder ceases to be employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary thereof, the Holder shall extend to the Company and/or its Parent or Subsidiary, a security or guarantee for the payment of tax due at the time of sale of Shares, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102.
(e)     Dividends.  Any dividends payable with respect to Shares issued with respect to any Awards granted pursuant to this Sub-Plan shall be subject to any applicable taxation on the distribution of dividends, and when applicable subject to the provisions of Section 102.
7.    Compliance with Applicable Laws.  This Sub-Plan shall be subject to all Applicable Laws.  The grant of Awards and Rights and the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of Awards under this Sub-Plan shall entitle the Company to require recipients of Awards to comply with such Applicable Laws as may be necessary.  Furthermore, the grant of any Awards under this Sub-Plan shall be subject to the Company’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over this Sub-Plan and the Awards and Rights granted thereunder.
8.    Governing Law.  The validity and enforceability of this Sub-Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law, except to the extent that mandatory provisions of the laws of the State of Israel apply.
