	 	[      ] Incentive Stock Option
	 

	 	[      ] Nonstatutory Stock Option

	1.	 	Grant of Option — Impax Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”), hereby grants to Optionee
named above (“Optionee”) and Optionee hereby accepts a nontransferable option to purchase the
total number of shares of common stock of the Company set forth above (the “Shares”) at the
exercise price per share set forth above (the “Exercise Price”), subject to all of the terms
and conditions of this Stock Option Grant (this “Option”) and the Company’s 1999 Equity
Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan, which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A. Optionee represents that he or she is familiar with the
terms and conditions of the Plan and hereby accepts this Option subject to all of the terms
and conditions hereof and thereof. Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive,
and final, all decisions and interpretations of the Board, or Committee, if applicable,
(hereinafter the “Board”), as to any questions or disputes arising under the Plan or this
Option.

	 	 	If designated as an Incentive Stock Option above, this Option is intended to qualify as an
“incentive stock option” (“ISO”) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Plan.

	2.	 	Right to Exercise — During Optionee’s continued service with the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company (or, in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, an
Affiliate
of the Company), this Option shall become exercisable over four years in 25% equal annual
installments from the date of the grant. Subject to earlier termination as provided in
Section 5 below, to the extent that this Option has become exercisable with respect to the
Shares covered thereby, this Option may thereafter be exercised by Optionee, in whole or in
part, at any time or from time to time prior to the Expiration Date.

 

 

	3.	 	Restriction on Exercise — This Option may not be exercised unless such exercise is in
compliance with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, regulations promulgated thereunder and
all applicable state securities laws as they are in effect on the date of exercise, and the
requirements of any stock exchange or national market system on which the Company’s common
stock may be listed at the time of exercise. Optionee understands that the Company is under
no obligation to register, qualify or list the Shares with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), any state securities commission, or any stock exchange to effect such
compliance.

	4.	 	Termination of Service — Except as provided below in this Section, this Option shall
terminate and may not be exercised if Optionee’s continuous service with the Company or any
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or, in the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, an
Affiliate of the Company (hereinafter “Continuous Service”) is terminated for any reason
whatsoever. The Board shall have discretion to determine whether Optionee’s Continuous
Service with the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary of Affiliate of the Company has terminated
and the effective date on which such termination occurred (the “Termination Date”).

     4.1. Death/Disability — If Optionee’s Continuous Service is terminated due to Death or
Disability, that portion of this Option which is exercisable on the Termination Date shall remain
exercisable until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the first anniversary of the Termination
Date and, to the extent not exercised during such period, shall thereupon terminate.

     4.2. Other Termination — If Optionee’s Continuous Service terminates for any reason
other than Death, Disability, or Cause, that portion of this Option which is exercisable on the
Termination Date shall remain exercisable until the earlier of the Expiration Date or the end of
the                      (      ) day period commencing on the Termination Date and, to the extent not exercised
during such period, shall thereupon terminate.

     4.3. Cause — Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Optionee’s Continuous
Service is terminated for Cause (or at a time when grounds for a termination for Cause exist), this
Option shall terminate in its entirety as of the Termination Date.

	5.	 	Manner of Exercise

     5.1. Exercise — To the extent exercisable under the provisions of the Option, this
Option may be exercised by delivery to the Company of an executed written notice of exercise to the
Company’s Secretary stating the number of full Shares with respect to which it is being exercised,
and accompanied by payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased, together
with payment of the amount, if any, required by the Company to satisfy its tax withholding
obligations resulting from such exercise.

Page 2

 

     5.2. Exercise Price — Payment for the Shares may be made in cash (by check) or, where
approved by the Board in its sole discretion and where permitted by law: (a) by cancellation of
indebtedness of the Company to Optionee; (b) by surrender of shares of common stock of the Company
having a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price of the Option that have been owned by
Optionee for more than one (1) year (and which have been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule
144 and, if such Shares were purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note has
been fully paid with respect to such shares), or were obtained by Optionee in the open public
market; (c) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Optionee for services rendered; (d)
provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists, through a “same day sale” commitment
from Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) whereby Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a
portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and whereby the NASD Dealer
irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the
Company; (e) provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists, through a “margin”
commitment from Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby Optionee irrevocable elects to exercise the
Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for
a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer
irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the
Company (without any obligation or liability on the part of the Company); or (f) by any combination
of the foregoing.

     5.3. Withholding Taxes

          5.3.1. — Optionee hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from payroll and any other amounts
payable to Optionee, and Optionee otherwise agrees to make adequate provision for (including by
means of a cashless exercise to the extent permitted by the Company), any sums required to satisfy
the federal, state, local, foreign, and any other tax withholding obligations of the Company or an
Affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with the Option.

          5.3.2. — Upon Optionee’s request, subject to compliance with any applicable conditions or
restrictions of law, the Company may (but shall be under no obligation to) withhold from Shares
otherwise issuable to Optionee upon the exercise of this Option, a number of whole shares having a
Fair Market Value, determined by the Company as of the date of exercise, not in excess of the
minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law.

          5.3.3. — If this Option is an Incentive Stock Option, by exercising this Option, Optionee
agrees that he or she will notify the Company in writing within fifteen (15) days after the date of
any disposition of any of the Shares that occurs within two (2) years after the date of this Option
grant or within one (1) year after Shares are transferred upon exercise of this Option, and will
otherwise provide the Company with such other information as the Company shall reasonably request.

     5.4. Issuance of Shares/Stockholder Rights — Provided that such notice and payment are
in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and counsel for the Company, the Company shall
cause the Shares to be issued in the name of Optionee or Optionee’s legal representative. Neither
Optionee nor any person entitled to exercise Optionee’s rights in the

Page 3

 

event of death will have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares, except
to the extent that certificates for such Shares shall have been issued upon the exercise of this
Option.

	6.	 	Nontransferability of Option — The Option may not be transferred in any manner other
than by will or by the law of descent and distribution and may be exercised during the
lifetime of Optionee only by Optionee.

	7.	 	Independent Tax Advice — Optionee agrees that Optionee has or will obtain the advice
of independent tax counsel regarding the federal and state income tax consequences of the
receipt and exercise of this Option and of the disposition of Common Stock acquired upon
exercise hereof, including advice regarding the imposition of the alternative minimum tax on
tax preferences generated by exercise of stock options and regarding any holding period
requirements for preferential tax treatment. OPTIONEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE OR SHE HAS NOT
RELIED AND WILL NOT RELY UPON ANY ADVICE OR REPRESENTATIONS BY THE COMPANY OR BY ITS EMPLOYEES
OR REPRESENTATIVES WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX TREATMENT OF THIS OPTION OR ANY SHARES ISSUED
PURSUANT HERETO.

	8.	 	No Right to Continue as Employee — Nothing contained in this Option shall: (i)
confer upon the Optionee any right to continue as an Employee, Officer, Director or Consultant
of the Company or of any Affiliate; or (ii) limit in any way the right of the Company or of
any Affiliate to terminate the Optionee’s position as an employee at any time.

	9.	 	Board Determinations — Optionee hereby agrees to accept as binding, conclusive, and
final all decisions and interpretations of the Board (including any committee thereof), or
other administrator of the Plan, as to any questions arising under the Plan or this Option.
This Option, as supplemented by the Plan, shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Company
and its successors and assigns, and the Optionee and the Optionee’s estate in the event of
death.

	10.	 	Entire Agreement — The Plan is incorporated herein by this reference. The Option and
the Plan constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersede all prior
undertakings and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.

IMPAX LABORATORIES, INC.

AMENDED AND RESTATED 2002 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

     1. Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to attract, retain and motivate key personnel by
providing a means whereby the Company may grant (i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii) Nonstatutory
Stock Options, (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights and/or (iv) Stock Bonuses to officers, employees,
directors and consultants of the Company and its Affiliates.

     2. Administration

          2.1 Administration by Board. The Board shall administer the Plan unless and to the extent
that the Board delegates its power and authority to a Committee as provided in Section 2.3.

          2.2 Power of Board. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board, acting in its sole
discretion, shall have the following power and authority:

               2.2.1 to determine to which of the eligible individuals, and the times at which, Awards shall
be granted;

               2.2.2 to determine the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards granted under the
Plan and, where applicable, the price to be paid for the shares of Common Stock subject to each
Award;

               2.2.3 to determine the terms and conditions of each Award (which need not be identical);

               2.2.4 to interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted under it, and to establish, amend
and revoke rules and regulations for its administration (and, in the exercise of this power, may
correct any defect, omission or inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement, in a manner
and to the extent it deemed necessary or desirable);

               2.2.5 to accelerate the terms of the Plan or any Award;

               2.2.6 to amend the terms of the Plan or any Award;

               2.2.7 to adopt forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan;

               2.2.8 to allow Participants to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligations by electing to
have the Company withhold from the shares covered by an Award that number of shares having a Fair
Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld; and

               2.2.9 to make all determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the
Plan.

          2.3 Delegation. Except with regard to Awards to Non-Employee Directors, the Board may
delegate any or all of its powers and authority relating to the administration of the Plan (but not
the power to amend or terminate the Plan) to a Committee of two (2) or more

 

 

members of the Board. If and to the extent that administrative responsibility is delegated to
a Committee, the Committee shall have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the
powers and authority theretofore possessed by the Board, including the power to delegate to a
subcommittee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and, as
appropriate, references in the Plan to the Board shall be deemed to be the Committee or
subcommittee). If a Committee is appointed, then, unless the Board determines otherwise, its
members shall consist solely of individuals who qualify as “non-employee directors” under Rule
16b-3 promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and as “outside directors” under Section
162(m) of the Code. If for any reason the Committee does not satisfy the “non-employee director”
requirements of Rule 16b-3 or the “outside director” requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code,
such non-compliance shall not affect the validity of the awards, interpretations or other actions
of the Committee. The Board may delegate nondiscretionary administrative duties to such employees
of the Company as it deems proper.

          2.4 Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless to the fullest extent
permitted by law each member of the Board and the Committee and any employee or director of the
Company to whom any duty or power relating to the administration or interpretation of the Plan is
delegated from and against any loss, cost, liability (including any sum paid in settlement of a
claim with the approval of the Board), damage and expense (including legal and other expenses
incident thereto) arising out of or incurred in connection with the Plan, unless and except to the
extent attributable to such person’s fraud or willful misconduct.

          2.5 Decisions. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Board shall be final,
binding and conclusive on all persons.

     3. Share Reserve. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 10, the aggregate number of
shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to the Plan is 7,900,000 shares, all of which
may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options. If any Option or Stock Appreciation Right
expires or is terminated without being exercised in whole or in part, the unexercised or released
shares from such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be available for future issuance under
the Plan. Shares that are subject to an Award that is forfeited or cancelled or that are withheld
in order to pay the purchase price for shares of Common Stock covered by any Award or to satisfy
the tax withholding obligations associated with any Award under the Plan shall be available for
future issuance under the Plan. Shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan may be
authorized and unissued, held by the Company in its treasury or otherwise acquired for purposes of
the Plan. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued under the Plan. Subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 10, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to
which Options or Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted during any calendar year to any director,
officer, employee or consultant may not exceed 50% of the total number of shares of Common Stock
authorized for issuance under this Plan.

     4. Eligibility. Awards may be granted under the Plan to officers, employees, directors and
consultants of the Company or its Affiliates. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
employees of the Company or its Affiliates. The Company may also, from time to time, assume
outstanding awards granted by another company, whether in connection with an

2

 

acquisition of such other company or otherwise, by either (i) granting an Award under the Plan
in replacement of the award assumed by the Company, or (ii) treating the assumed award as if it had
been granted under the Plan.

     5. Options.

          5.1 Option Grant. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board may grant Incentive Stock
Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options to eligible personnel on such terms and conditions as the
Board deems appropriate.

          5.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price of an Option shall not be less than the par value of
the Common Stock, provided that the exercise price of an Option shall not be less than the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be
less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Option is granted.

          5.3 Option Term. No Option granted under the Plan may be exercisable (if at all) more than
ten (10) years after the date the Option is granted (or, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option
granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, five (5) years.)

          5.4 Vesting and Exercise of Options. The Board may establish such vesting and other
conditions and restrictions on the exercise of an Option and/or upon the issuance of Common Stock
in connection with the exercise of an Option as it deems appropriate. Subject to satisfaction of
applicable withholding requirements, once vested and exercisable, an Option may be exercised by
transmitting to the Company: (i) a notice specifying the number of shares to be purchased and (ii)
payment of the exercise price. The exercise price of an Option may be paid in cash and/or such
other form of payment as the Company may permit.

          5.5 Rights as a Stockholder. No shares of Common Stock shall be issued in respect of the
exercise of an Option until full payment of the exercise price and the applicable tax withholding
obligations with respect to such exercise has been made or provided for. The holder of an Option
shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option until the
date such shares are issued. No adjustments shall be made for dividend distribution or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares are issued.

          5.6 Buy Out and Settlement. The Board, on behalf of the Company, may at any time offer to buy
out any Option on such terms and conditions as the Board shall establish.

          5.7 Options Non-Transferable. Options granted under the Plan shall not be transferable or
assignable by a Participant, and may not be made subject to execution, attachment or similar
process, otherwise then by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be
exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by the Participant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Board may determine at the time of grant or thereafter that a Nonstatutory Stock
Option is transferable in whole or in part to such persons, under such circumstances, and subject
to such conditions as the Board may prescribe; provided that, such conditions are consistent with
the conditions that would permit the registration of the underlying shares on Form S-8 or a
successor form.

3

 

          5.8 Assumed Options. In the event the Company assumes an option granted by another company,
the exercise price and the number and nature of shares issuable upon exercise of such assumed
option shall be adjusted appropriately as determined by the Board.

          5.9 Replacement Options. Without in any way limiting the authority of the Board to make or
not to make grants of Options, the Board shall have the authority (but not an obligation) to
include as part of any Award Agreement a provision entitling the Participant to a replacement
Option in the event the Participant exercises the Option evidenced by the Award Agreement, in whole
or in part, by surrendering other shares of Common Stock in accordance with the Plan and the terms
and conditions of the Award Agreement.

     6. Stock Appreciation Rights.

          6.1 Stock Appreciation Right Grant. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board may award
Stock Appreciation Rights upon such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate. A Stock
Appreciation Right is an Award entitling the Participant, upon exercise, to receive an amount, in
cash or shares of Common Stock or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board in its sole
discretion, determined with reference to the appreciation, if any, in the fair market value of
Common Stock during the period beginning on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted and
ending on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.

          6.2 Types of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation Rights may be awarded under the
Plan in conjunction with an Option (“tandem SARs”) or independent of any Option (“stand-alone
SARs”). Tandem SARs awarded in conjunction with a Nonstatutory Stock Option may be awarded either
at or after the time the Nonstatutory Stock Option is granted. Tandem SARs awarded in conjunction
with an Incentive Stock Option may only be awarded at the time the Incentive Stock Option is
granted.

          6.3 Exercisability. Except as otherwise provided herein, a tandem SAR shall be exercisable
only at the time and to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as the related Option is
exercisable. The exercise of a tandem SAR shall cancel the related Option to the extent of the
shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised, and vice
versa. Tandem SARs may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock to which
it relates exceeds the Option exercise price. The Board may impose such additional service or
vesting conditions upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right (tandem or stand-alone) as it
deems appropriate.

          6.4 Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised by giving written notice to the
Company identifying the Stock Appreciation Right that is being exercised, specifying the number of
shares covered by the exercise and containing such other information or statements as the Board may
require. The Board may establish such rules and procedures as it deems appropriate for the
exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation
Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount (in cash and/or shares of Common
Stock as determined by the Board) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares with respect to
which the Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised and (ii) the difference between the Fair
Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the date the

4

 

Stock Appreciation Right is exercised and the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on
the date the Stock Appreciation Right is granted.

          6.5 SARs Non-Transferable. Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be transferable by a
Participant other than upon the Participant’s death to a beneficiary designated by the Participant
in a manner acceptable to the Board, or, if no designated beneficiary shall survive the
Participant, pursuant to the Participant’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be transferable, to the extent permitted above, only with the
underlying option.

     7. Stock Bonus Awards. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board may grant Stock Bonus
Awards to eligible personnel upon such terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate. The
terms and conditions of Stock Bonus Awards may change from time to time, and the terms and
conditions of each Award Agreement need not be identical.

          7.1 Consideration. A Stock Bonus Award shall be awarded in consideration for part or future
services rendered to the Company or its Affiliates.

          7.2 Vesting. Shares of Common Stock awarded pursuant to a Stock Bonus may, but need not, be
subject to a vesting schedule determined by the Board.

          7.3 Transferability. Shares of Common Stock received pursuant to a Stock Bonus Award shall be
transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Award
Agreement, as the Board shall determine in its discretion, so long as shares remain subject to the
terms of the Award Agreement.

     8. Termination of Employment or Service. Unless otherwise determined by the Board at grant
or, if no rights of the Participant are thereby reduced, thereafter, and subject to earlier
termination in accordance with the provisions hereof, the following rules apply with regard to
Awards held by a Participant at the time of his or her termination of employment or other service
with the Company and its Affiliates.

          8.1 Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.

               8.1.1 If a Participant’s employment or service terminates due to his or her death or
Disability, then (i) any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by the Participant, to the extent
not then exercisable, shall thereupon terminate, and (ii) any Option or Stock Appreciation Right
held by the Participant which is exercisable at the time of such termination of employment or
service due to his or her death or Disability shall remain exercisable by the Participant (or in
the event of death, his or her legal representative) at any time within one year from the date his
or her employment or service terminates, but in no event after expiration of the stated term, and,
to the extent not exercised within such time period, shall thereupon terminate.

               8.1.2 If a Participant’s employment or service is terminated by the Company or its Affiliates
for Cause or if, at the time of a Participant’s termination, grounds for termination for Cause
exist, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Option or Stock
Appreciation Right held by the Participant (whether or not otherwise vested) shall immediately
terminate and cease to be exercisable. “Cause” means (i) in the case where

5

 

there is no employment or consulting agreement between the Participant and the Company or its
Affiliates or where such an agreement exists but does not define “Cause” (or words of like import),
a termination classified by the Company as a termination due to the Participant’s dishonesty,
fraud, insubordination, willful misconduct, refusal to perform services or materially
unsatisfactory performance of his or her duties, or (ii) in the case where there is an employment
or consulting agreement between the Participant and the Company or its Affiliates, a termination
that is or would be deemed for “cause” (or words of like import) under such agreement.

               8.1.3 If a Participant’s employment or service terminates for any reason (other than death,
Disability or Cause at a time when Cause exists) or no reason, then any Option or Stock
Appreciation Right held by the Participant, to the extent not then exercisable, shall thereupon
terminate. Any Option or Stock Appreciation Right held by the Participant which is exercisable at
the time of such termination of employment or service shall remain exercisable during the thirty
(30) days period following such termination of employment or service or, if sooner, until the
expiration of the stated term of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right and, to the extent not
exercised within such period, shall thereupon terminate.

          8.2 Stock Bonuses. If a Participant’s employment or service terminates, then any shares of
Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the
terms of the Award Agreement shall be forfeited.

     9. Miscellaneous.

          9.1 No Employment or other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan or any instrument executed or
Award granted pursuant thereto shall confer upon any Participant or other holder of Awards any
right to continue to be employed by or serve the Company or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect
at the time the Award was granted or shall affect the right of the Company or an Affiliate to
terminate such employment or service.

          9.2 Investment Assurance. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place
legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate
in order to reflect conditions imposed under an Award or to comply with applicable securities laws,
including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the stock.

          9.3 Withholding Obligations. As a condition to the exercise of any Award or the delivery of
any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Award or the lapse of restrictions on any Award, or in
connection with any other event that gives rise to a federal or other governmental tax withholding
obligation on the part of the Company relating to an Award, (i) the Company may deduct or withhold
(or cause to be deducted or withheld) from any payment or distribution to a Participant whether or
not pursuant to the Plan or (ii) the Company shall be entitled to require that the Participant
remit cash to the Company (through payroll deduction or otherwise), in each case in an amount
sufficient in the opinion of the Company to satisfy such withholding obligation. If the event
giving rise to the withholding obligation involves a transfer of shares of Common Stock, then,
unless the applicable Award Agreement provides otherwise, at the discretion of the Board, the
Participant may satisfy the withholding obligation described under this Section 9.3 by electing to
have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock

6

 

(which withholding shall be at a rate not in excess of the statutory minimum rate) or by
tendering previously owned shares of Common Stock, in each case having a Fair Market Value equal to
the amount of tax to be withheld (or by another mechanism as may be required or appropriate to
conform with local tax and other rules).

     10. Adjustments Upon Changes in Common Stock.

          10.1 Capitalization Adjustments. If any change is made in the Common Stock subject to the
Plan, or subject to any Award, without the receipt of consideration by the Company (through merger,
consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, reincorporation, stock dividend, dividend in
property other than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of
shares, change in corporate structure or other transaction not involving the receipt of
consideration by the Company), the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted in the class(es) and
maximum number of securities subject to the Plan and the maximum number of securities that may be
awarded to any employee, and the outstanding Awards shall be appropriately adjusted in the
class(es) and number of securities and price per share of stock subject to such outstanding Awards.
The Board, the determination of which shall be final, binding and conclusive, shall make such
adjustments. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be treated as a
transaction “without receipt of consideration” by the Company.

          10.2 Change in Control — Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, then Awards outstanding under the Plan shall terminate if not exercised
(if applicable) immediately prior to, or simultaneous with, such event.

          10.3 Change in Control — Asset Sale, Merger, Consolidation or Reverse Merger. In the event of
(i) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, (ii) a merger in which the
Company is not the surviving corporation or (iii) a reverse merger in which the Company is the
surviving corporation but the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger
are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash
or otherwise, then any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation shall assume any Awards
outstanding under the Plan or shall substitute similar awards (including an award to acquire the
same consideration paid to the stockholders in the transaction described in this Section 10.3 for
those Awards outstanding under the Plan). In the event any surviving corporation or acquiring
corporation refuses to assume such Awards or to substitute similar awards for those Awards
outstanding under the Plan, then the vesting of all outstanding Awards (and, if applicable, the
time during which such Awards may be exercised) shall be accelerated in full, and the Awards shall
terminate if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to such event.

     11. Amendment and Termination. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan, provided, however,
that no such action may adversely affect the rights of a Participant under any outstanding Award
without the consent of the Participant. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10, any amendment
which would increase the number of shares of Common Stock for which Awards may be granted under the
Plan (in the aggregate or on an individual basis) or modify the class of employees eligible to
receive Awards under the Plan shall, during any period in which the
Common Stock of the Company is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market or
any other National Securities Exchange,  be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company.
The Board may amend the terms of any Award Agreement at any time and from time to time, provided,
however, that any amendment which

would adversely affect the rights of the Participant may not be made without the consent of
the Participant.

     12. Effective Date of Plan. The Plan shall become effective on the date of its adoption by the
Company’s Board of Directors, subject however to approval by the holders of the Company’s Common
Stock in the manner as prescribed in the Code and the resolutions thereunder. Options may be
granted under this Plan prior to obtaining shareholder approval, provided such options shall not be
exercisable before such shareholder approval is obtained. No grants of Bonus Stock may be made
under the Plan prior to the receipt of shareholder approval.
