               2005 DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

2.  EFFECTIVE DATE.

The Plan is effective as of the date it is adopted by the Board of Directors of
the Company and Awards may be made under the Plan on and after its effective
date.

3.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company and the
Board shall be so constituted as to permit the Plan to comply with the
disinterested administration requirements under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the "outside
director" requirement of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the "Code").

The Board shall have all the powers vested in it by the terms of the Plan, such
powers to include exclusive authority (within the limitations described herein)
to select the Eligible Participants to be granted awards under the Plan, to
determine the type, size and terms of awards to be made to each Eligible
Participant selected, to determine the time when awards will be granted, when
they will vest, when they may be exercised and when they will be paid, to amend
awards previously granted and to establish objectives and conditions, if any,
for earning awards and whether awards will be paid after the end of the award
period. The Board shall have full power and authority to administer and
interpret the Plan and to adopt such rules, regulations, agreements, guidelines
and instruments for the administration of the Plan and for the conduct of its
business as the Board deems necessary or advisable and to interpret same. The
Board's interpretation of the Plan, and all actions taken and determinations
made by the Board pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder, shall be
conclusive and binding on all parties concerned, including the Company
stockholders, any participants in the Plan and any other Eligible Participant of
the Company.

All directors and officers of the Company and all directors and officers of
Affiliates shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. The Board, in its sole
discretion, shall from time to time designate from among the eligible directors
and officers who are to receive awards under and thereby become participants in
the Plan. For purposes of the Plan, "Affiliate" shall mean any entity, as may
from time to time be designated by the Board, that is a
<PAGE>
subsidiary corporation of the Company (within the meaning of Section 424 of the
Code), and each other entity directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by
or under common control with the Company. For purposes of this definition,
"control" means the power to direct the management and policies of such entity,
whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise;
and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meaning correlative to the
foregoing.

4.  AWARDS.

(a) Types. Awards under the Plan shall be made with reference to shares of the
Company common stock and may include, but need not be limited to, stock options
(including non-statutory stock options and incentive stock options qualifying
under Section 422 of the Code), stock appreciation rights (including
free-standing, tandem and limited stock appreciation rights), warrants, dividend
equivalents, stock awards, restricted stock, phantom stock, performance shares
or other securities or rights that the Board determines to be consistent with
the objectives and limitations of the Plan. The Board may provide for the
issuance of shares of the Company common stock as a stock award for no
consideration other than services rendered or, to the extent permitted by
applicable state law, to be rendered. In the event of an award under which
shares of the Company common stock are or may in the future be issued for any
other type of consideration, the amount of such consideration shall (i) be equal
or greater than to the amount (such as the par value of such shares) required to
be received by the Company in order to assure compliance with applicable state
law and (ii) to the extent necessary to comply with Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange
Act, be equal to or greater than 50% of the fair market value of such shares on
the date of grant of such award. The Board may make any other type of award
which it shall determine is consistent with the objectives and limitations of
the Plan.

(b) Performance Goals. The Board may, but need not, establish performance goals
to be achieved within such performance periods as may be selected by it in its
sole discretion, using such measures of the performance of the Company and/or
its Affiliates as it may select.

(c) Rules and Policies. The Board may adopt from time to time written rules and
policies implementing the Plan. Such rules and policies may include, but need
not be limited to, the type, size and term of awards to be made to participants
and the conditions for the exercise or payment of such awards.

5.  SHARES OF STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

The shares that may be delivered or purchased or used for reference purposes
under the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of twenty percent (20%) of the
issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, no par
value per share, as determined by the Board from time to time. Any shares
subject to an award which for any reason expires or is terminated unexercised as
to such shares shall again be available for issuance under the Plan.

<PAGE>
6.  PAYMENT OF AWARDS.

The Board shall determine the extent to which awards shall be payable in cash,
shares of the Company common stock or any combination thereof. The Board may
determine that all or a portion of a payment to a participant under the Plan,
whether it is to be made in cash, shares of the Company common stock or a
combination thereof shall be deferred. Deferrals shall be for such periods and
upon such terms as the Board may determine in its sole discretion.

7.  VESTING.

The Board may determine that all or a portion of a payment to a participant
under the Plan, whether it is to be made in cash, shares of the Company common
stock or a combination thereof, shall be vested at such times and upon such
terms as may be selected by it in its sole discretion.

8.  DILUTION AND OTHER ADJUSTMENT.

In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of the Company common stock
by reason of any split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, consolidation,
spin-off, reorganization, combination or exchange of shares or other similar
corporate change, such equitable adjustments shall be made in the Plan and the
awards thereunder as the Board determines are necessary or appropriate,
including, if necessary, any adjustments in the number, kind or character of
shares that may be subject to existing or future awards under the Plan
(including by substitution of shares of another corporation including, without
limitation, any successor of the Company ), adjustments in the exercise,
purchase or base price of an outstanding award and any adjustments in the
maximum numbers of shares referred to in Section 4 or Section 5 of the Plan. All
such adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

9.  MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

(a) Rights as Stockholder. A participant under the Plan shall have no rights as
a holder of the Company common stock with respect to awards hereunder, unless
and until certificates for shares of such stock are issued to the participant.

(b) Assignment to Transfer. No award under this Plan shall be transferable by
the participant or shall be subject to any manner of alienation, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge (other than by or to the Company),
except (i) by will or the laws of the descent and distribution (with all
references herein to the rights or duties of holders or participants to be
deemed to include such beneficiaries or legal representatives of the holders or
participant unless the context otherwise expressly requires); (ii) subject to
the prior approval of the Board, for transfers to members of the participant's
immediate family, charitable institutions, trusts whose beneficiaries are
members of the participant's immediate family and/or charitable institutions,
trusts whose beneficiaries are members of the participant's immediate family
and/or charitable institutions, or to such other persons or entities as may be
approved by the Board in each case subject to the condition that the Board be
satisfied that such transfer is being made for the estate and/or tax planning
purposes on a gratuitous or donative basis and without consideration (other than
nominal consideration) being received therefor. Except as provided above, during
the lifetime of a participant, awards hereunder are exercisable only by, and
payable only to, the participant.

                                        3
<PAGE>
(c) Agreements. All awards granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by
agreements in such form and containing such terms and conditions (not
inconsistent with the Plan) as the Board shall adopt.

(d) Compliance with Legal Regulations. During the term of the Plan and the term
of any awards granted under the Plan, the Company will at all times reserve and
keep available such number of shares as may be issuable under the Plan, and will
seek to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, any requisite
authority required in the opinion of counsel for the Company in order to grant
shares of the Company common stock, or options to purchase such stock or other
awards hereunder, and transfer, issue or sell such number of shares of common
stock as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of any options or other
awards. If in the opinion of counsel for the Company the transfer, issue or sale
of any shares of its stock under the Plan shall not be lawful for any reason
including the inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction authority deemed by such counsel to be necessary to such transfer,
issuance or sale, the Company shall not be obligated to transfer, issue or sell
any such shares. In any event, the Company shall not be obligated to transfer,
issue or sell any shares to any participant unless a registration statement
which complies with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), is in effect at the time with respect to such shares or
other appropriate action has been taken under and pursuant to the terms and
provisions of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws, or
the Company receives evidence satisfactory to the Board that the transfer,
issuance or sale of such shares, in the absence of an effective registration
statement or other appropriate action, would not constitute a violation of the
terms and provisions of the Securities Act. the Company's obligation to issue
shares upon the exercise of any award granted under the Plan shall in any case
be subject to the Company being satisfied that the shares purchased are being
purchased for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof, if at
the time of such exercise a resale of such shares would otherwise violate the
Securities Act in the absence of an effective registration statement relating to
such shares.

(e) Withholding Taxes. the Company shall have the right to deduct from all
awards hereunder paid in cash any federal, state, local or foreign taxes
required by law to be withheld with respect to such awards and, with respect to
awards paid in stock, to require the payment (through withholding from the
participant's salary or otherwise) of any such taxes. The obligation of the
Company to make delivery of awards in cash or the Company common stock shall be
subject to currency or other restrictions imposed by any government.

(f) No Rights to Award. No Eligible Participant or other person shall have any
right to be granted an award under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action
taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be
retained in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or shall
interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or its
subsidiaries, which are hereby reserved, to discharge the employee at any time
for any reason whatsoever, with or without good cause.

                                        4
<PAGE>
(g) Costs and Expenses. The costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall
be borne by the Company and not charged to any award or to any Eligible
Participant receiving an award.

(h) Funding of Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded. the Company shall not be
required to establish any special or separate fund or to make any other
segregation of assets to assure the payment of any award under the Plan.

10. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION.

(a) Amendments. The Board may at any time terminate or from time to time amend
the Plan in whole or in part, but no such action shall adversely affect any
rights or obligations with respect to any awards theretofore made under the
Plan.

Unless the majority of the directors of the Company present, or represented, and
entitled to vote at a meeting of directors shall have first approved thereof, no
amendment of the Plan shall be effective which would (i) increase the maximum
number of shares referred to in section 5 of the Plan or the maximum awards that
may be granted pursuant to section 4 of the Plan to any one individual or (ii)
extend the maximum period during which awards may be granted under the Plan. For
purposes of this section 10 (a), any (A) cancellation and re-issuance or (B)
repricing of any awards made under the Plan at a new option price shall not
constitute an amendment of this Plan.

With consent of the Eligible Participant adversely affected, the Board may amend
outstanding agreements evidencing awards under the Plan in a manner not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan.

(b) Termination. Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated as above
provided, the Plan (but not the awards theretofore granted under the Plan) shall
terminate on and no awards shall be granted after December 11, 2015.

(the “Plan”) is intended as the
successor to and continuation of the Cubic Corporation 1998 Stock Option Plan (the “Prior
Plan”).  Following the
Effective Date of this Plan, no additional stock awards shall be granted under
the Prior Plan.  Any shares remaining
available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of options or settlement of
stock awards under the Prior Plan shall be added to the share reserve of this

granted under the Prior Plan shall remain subject to the terms of the Prior

the Plan to stock awards granted under the Prior Plan.  Any shares subject to outstanding stock
awards granted under the Prior Plan that expire or terminate for any reason
prior to exercise or settlement shall be added to the share reserve of this
Plan and become available for issuance pursuant to Stock Awards granted
hereunder.  All Stock Awards granted
subsequent to the Effective Date of this Plan shall be subject to the terms of
this Plan.

 

(b)           Eligible Stock Award Recipients.  The persons eligible to receive Awards are
Employees, Directors and Consultants.

Awards, (v) Stock Appreciation Rights, (vi) Restricted Stock Unit

(d)           General Purpose.  The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to
secure and retain the services of the group of persons eligible to receive
Awards as set forth in Section 1(a), to provide incentives for such
persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company and any
Affiliate and to provide a means by which such eligible recipients may be given
an opportunity to benefit from increases in value of the Common Stock through
the granting of Awards.

Participant for any other purpose.

reducing the number of shares outstanding, provided that if a Change in Control
would occur (but for the operation of this sentence) as a result of the
acquisition of voting securities by the Company, and after such share
acquisition, the Subject Person becomes the Owner of any additional voting
securities that, assuming the repurchase or other acquisition had not occurred,
increases the percentage of the then outstanding voting securities Owned by the
Subject Person over the designated percentage threshold, then a Change in
Control shall be deemed to occur;

Company immediately prior thereto, as such, do not Own, directly or indirectly,
either (A) outstanding voting securities representing more than 50% of the combined outstanding voting

who, on the date this Plan is adopted by the Board, are members of the Board
(the “Incumbent Board”)

Board; provided, however, that if the
appointment or election (or nomination for election) of any new Board member
was approved or recommended by a majority vote of the members of the Incumbent
Board then still in office, such new member shall, for purposes of this Plan,
be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board.

definition with respect to Awards subject to such agreement; provided, however, that if no definition
of Change in Control or any analogous term is set forth in such an individual
written agreement, the foregoing definition shall apply.

Company or an Affiliate as an Employee, Consultant or Director or a change in
the entity for which the Participant renders such service, provided that there
is no interruption or termination of the Participant’s service with the Company
or an Affiliate, shall not terminate a Participant’s Continuous Service.  For example, a change in status from an
employee of the Company to a consultant to an Affiliate or to a Director shall
not constitute an interruption of Continuous Service.  To the extent permitted by law, the Board or
the chief executive officer of the Company, in that party’s sole discretion,
may determine whether Continuous Service shall be considered interrupted in the
case of any leave of absence approved by that party, including sick leave,
military leave or any other personal leave. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a leave of absence shall be treated as
Continuous Service for purposes of vesting in a Stock Award only to such extent
as may be provided in the Company’s leave of absence policy, in the written

Participant, or as otherwise required by law.

to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board shall thereafter be to
the Committee or subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not

time by the Board.  The Board may retain
the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may,
at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously

4.             SHARES
SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

 

(a)           Share
Reserve.  Subject to the provisions
of Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the number
of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Stock Awards shall not
exceed, in the aggregate, four million five hundred thousand 

 

11

 

(4,500,000) shares of Common Stock.  Such number of shares reserved shall be
approved by the stockholders at a Special Meeting to be called by the Board of
Directors as part of the approval of this Plan. 
Shares may also be issued in connection with a merger or acquisition as
permitted by NASD Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iii) or, if applicable, NYSE
Listed Company Manual Section 303A.08, or AMEX Company Guide Section 711
and such issuance shall not reduce the number of shares available for issuance
under the Plan.

 

(b)           Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve.  If any (i) Stock Award shall for any
reason expire or otherwise terminate, in whole or in part, without having been
exercised in full, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued to a Participant
pursuant to a Stock Award (including the Stock Awards transferred from the
Prior Plan on the Effective Date of this Plan) are forfeited to or repurchased
by the Company, including any repurchase or forfeiture caused by the failure to
meet a contingency or condition required for the vesting of such shares, or (iii) Stock
Award is settled in cash, then the shares of Common Stock not issued under such
Stock Award, or forfeited to or repurchased by the Company, shall revert to and
again become available for issuance under the Plan.  If any shares subject to a Stock Award are
not delivered to a Participant because the Stock Award is exercised through a
reduction of shares subject to the Stock Award (i.e., “net exercised”) or an appreciation distribution in
respect of a Stock Appreciation Right is paid in shares of Common Stock, the
number of subject to the Stock Award that are not delivered to the Participant
shall remain available for subsequent issuance under the Plan.  If any shares subject to a Stock Award are
not delivered to a Participant because such shares are withheld in satisfaction
of the withholding of taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of an
Option, Stock Appreciation Right, or the issuance of shares under a Stock
Purchase Award, Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit Award, or Other
Stock Award, the number of shares that are not delivered to the Participant
shall remain available for subsequent issuance under the Plan.  If the exercise price of any Stock Award is
satisfied by tendering shares of Common Stock held by the Participant (either
by actual delivery or attestation), then the number of shares so tendered shall
remain available for subsequent issuance under the Plan.

 

(c)           Incentive Stock Option Limit.  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Section 4(b), subject to the provisions of Section 11(a) relating
to Capitalization Adjustments the aggregate maximum number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Incentive Stock Options
shall be four million five hundred thousand (4,500,000) shares of Common Stock.

 

(d)           Source of
Shares.  The stock issuable under the
Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired Common Stock,
including shares repurchased by the Company.

 

5.             ELIGIBILITY.

 

(a)           Eligibility
for Specific Stock Awards.  Incentive
Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. 
Stock Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to
Employees, Directors and Consultants.

 

(b)           Ten
Percent Stockholders.  A Ten Percent
Stockholder shall not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise
price of such Option is at least 110% of the Fair 

 

12

 

Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant
and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the
date of grant.

 

(c)           Section 162(m) Limitation on Annual
Grants.  Subject to the
provisions of Section 11(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments,
at such time as the Company may be subject to the applicable provisions of Section 162(m)
of the Code, no Employee shall be eligible to be granted during any calendar
year Stock Awards whose value is determined by reference to an increase over an
exercise or strike price of at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the
Common Stock on the date the Stock Award is granted covering more than four
million (4,000,000) shares of Common Stock.

 

(d)           Consultants.  A Consultant shall not be eligible for the
grant of a Stock Award if, at the time of grant, a Form S-8 Registration
Statement under the Securities Act (“Form S-8”) is not available to register
either the offer or the sale of the Company’s securities to such Consultant
because of the nature of the services that the Consultant is providing to the
Company, because the Consultant is not a natural person, or because of any
other rule governing the use of Form S-8.

 

6.             OPTION
PROVISIONS.

 

Each Option shall be in such form and shall contain
such terms and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate.  All Options shall be separately designated
Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options at the time of grant,
and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates shall
be issued for shares of Common Stock purchased on exercise of each type of
Option. If an Option is not specifically designated as an Incentive Stock
Option, then the Option shall be a Nonstatutory Stock Option. The provisions of
separate Options need not be identical; provided,
however, that each Option Agreement shall include (through
incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Option Agreement or
otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

 

(a)           Term.  Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b),
no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date
of its grant or such shorter period specified in the Option Agreement.

 

(b)           Exercise
Price of an Incentive Stock Option. 
Subject to the provisions of Section 5(b) regarding Ten
Percent Stockholders, the exercise price of each Incentive Stock Option shall
be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to
the Option on the date the Option is granted. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Incentive Stock Option may be granted
with an exercise price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if
such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another
option in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 424(a) of
the Code.

 

(c)           Exercise
Price of a Nonstatutory Stock Option. 
The exercise price of each Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be not less
than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option on
the date the Option is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Nonstatutory
Stock Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of the Common Stock if such Option is granted pursuant to an
assumption or 

 

13

 

substitution for another option in a manner consistent
with the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code.

 

(d)           Consideration.  The purchase price of Common Stock acquired
pursuant to the exercise of an Option shall be paid, to the extent permitted by
applicable law and as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, by any
combination of the methods of payment set forth below.  The Board shall have the authority to grant
Options that do not permit all of the following methods of payment (or
otherwise restrict the ability to use certain methods) and to grant Options
that require the consent of the Company to utilize a particular method of
payment.  The methods of payment
permitted by this Section 6(d) are:

 

(i)            by
cash or check;

 

(ii)           bank
draft or money order payable to the Company;

 

(iii)         pursuant
to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal Reserve
Board that, prior to the issuance of Common Stock, results in either the
receipt of cash (or check) by the Company or the receipt of irrevocable
instructions to pay the aggregate exercise price to the Company from the sales proceeds;

 

(iv)          by
delivery to the Company (either by actual delivery or attestation) of shares of
Common Stock;

 

(v)            by a
“net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Company will reduce the number
of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise by the largest whole number of
shares with a Fair Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise
price; provided, however, that
the Company shall accept a cash or other payment from the Participant to the
extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied
by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued; provided, further, that shares of Common
Stock will no longer be outstanding under an Option and will not be exercisable
thereafter to the extent that (A) shares are used to pay the exercise
price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (B) shares are delivered to the
Participant as a result of such exercise, and (C) shares are withheld to
satisfy tax withholding obligations;  or

 

(vi)          in any
other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board.

 

(e)           Transferability
of Options.  The Board may, in its
sole discretion, impose such limitations on the transferability of Options as
the Board shall determine.  In the
absence of such a determination by the Board to the contrary, the following
restrictions on the transferability of Options shall apply:

 

(i)            Restrictions
on Transfer.  An Option shall not be
transferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and
shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionholder only by the
Optionholder; provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion,
permit transfer of the Option in a manner consistent with applicable tax and
securities laws upon the Optionholder’s request.

 

14

 

(ii)           Domestic
Relations Orders.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, an Option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations
order.

 

(iii)         Beneficiary
Designation.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Optionholder may, by delivering written notice to the Company,
in a form provided by or otherwise satisfactory to the Company, designate a
third party who, in the event of the death of the Optionholder, shall
thereafter be entitled to exercise the Option.

 

(f)            Vesting
Generally.  The total number of
shares of Common Stock subject to an Option may vest and therefore become
exercisable in periodic installments that may or may not be equal.  The Option may be subject to such other terms
and conditions on the time or times when it may or may not be exercised (which
may be based on the satisfaction of Performance Goals or other criteria) as the
Board may deem appropriate.  The vesting
provisions of individual Options may vary. 
The provisions of this Section 6(f) are subject to any Option
provisions governing the minimum number of shares of Common Stock as to which
an Option may be exercised.

 

(g)           Termination of Continuous Service.  In the event that an Optionholder’s
Continuous Service terminates (other than for Cause or Retirement or upon the
Optionholder’s death or Disability), the Optionholder may exercise his or her
Option (to the extent that the Optionholder was entitled to exercise such
Option as of the date of termination of Continuous Service) but only within
such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date 3 months
following the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service (or such
longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement), or (ii) the
expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.  If, after termination of Continuous Service,
the Optionholder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified
herein or in the Option Agreement (as applicable), the Option shall terminate.

 

(h)           Extension of Termination Date.  An Optionholder’s Option Agreement may
provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the
Optionholder’s Continuous Service (other than for Cause or Retirement or upon
the Optionholder’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely
because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the registration
requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the
earlier of (i) the expiration of a period of 3 months after the
termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service during which the exercise
of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements, or (ii) the
expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement.

 

(i)            Disability of Optionholder.  In the event that an Optionholder’s
Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s Disability, the
Optionholder may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the
Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of termination
of Continuous Service), but only within such period of time ending on the
earlier of (i) the date 12 months following such termination of Continuous
Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Option Agreement),
or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the
Option Agreement.  If, after termination

15

 

(j)            Death of Optionholder.  In the event that (i) an Optionholder’s
Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Optionholder’s death, or (ii) the
Optionholder dies within the period (if any) specified in the Option Agreement
after the termination of the Optionholder’s Continuous Service for a reason

Optionholder was entitled to exercise such Option as of the date of death) by
the Optionholder’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the
Option by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the
option upon the Optionholder’s death, but only within the period ending on the
earlier of (i) the date 18 months following the date of death (or such

after the time of such termination of Continuous Service.

 

7.             PROVISIONS
OF STOCK AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS.

 

(a)           Stock Purchase Awards.  Each Stock Purchase Award Agreement shall be
in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Board shall
deem appropriate.  To the extent
consistent with the Company’s Bylaws, at the Board’s election, shares of Common
Stock may be (x) held in book entry form subject to the Company’s instructions
until any restrictions relating to the Stock Purchase Award lapse; or
(y) evidenced by a certificate, which certificate shall be held in such
form and manner as determined by the Board. 
The terms and conditions of Stock Purchase Award Agreements may change
from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Stock Purchase
Award Agreements need not be identical, provided,
however, that each Stock Purchase Award Agreement shall include
(through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the Agreement
or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

 

(i)            Purchase Price.  At the time of the grant of a Stock Purchase
Award, the Board will determine the price to be paid by the Participant for
each share subject to the Stock Purchase Award. 
To the extent required by applicable law, the price to be paid by the
Participant 

 

16

 

for each share of the Stock Purchase Award will not be
less than the par value of a share of Common Stock.

 

(ii)           Consideration.  At the time of the grant of a Stock Purchase
Award, the Board will determine the consideration permissible for the payment
of the purchase price of the Stock Purchase Award.  The purchase price of Common Stock acquired
pursuant to the Stock Purchase Award shall be paid either: (A) in cash or
by check at the time of purchase, (B) by past services actually rendered
to the Company or an Affiliate, or (C) in any other form of legal
consideration that may be acceptable to the Board in its sole discretion and
permissible under applicable law.

 

(iii)         Vesting. Shares of Common Stock
acquired under a Stock Purchase Award may be subject to a share repurchase
right or option in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to
be determined by the Board.

 

(iv)          Termination of Participant’s Continuous
Service. In the event that a Participant’s Continuous Service
terminates, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
repurchase or otherwise reacquire, any or all of the shares of Common Stock
held by the Participant that have not vested as of the date of termination
under the terms of the Stock Purchase Award Agreement.  At the Board’s election, the price paid for
all shares of Common Stock so repurchased or reacquired by the Company may be
at the lesser of: (A) the Fair Market Value on the relevant date, or (B) the
Participant’s original cost for such shares. 
The Company shall not be required to exercise its repurchase or
reacquisition option until at least six (6) months (or such longer or
shorter period of time necessary to avoid a charge to earnings for financial
accounting purposes) have elapsed following the Participant’s purchase of the
shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Stock Purchase Award unless
otherwise determined by the Board or provided in the Stock Purchase Award
Agreement.

 

(v)            Transferability. Rights to
purchase or receive shares of Common Stock granted under a Stock Purchase Award
shall be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as
are set forth in the Stock Purchase Award Agreement, as the Board shall
determine in its sole discretion, and so long as Common Stock awarded under the
Stock Purchase Award remains subject to the terms of the Stock Purchase Award
Agreement.

 

(b)           Restricted
Stock Awards.  Each Restricted Stock
Award Agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and
conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate. 
To the extent consistent with the Company’s Bylaws, at the Board’s
election, shares of Common Stock may be (x) held in book entry form subject to
the Company’s instructions until any restrictions relating to the Restricted
Stock Award lapse; or (y) evidenced by a certificate, which certificate
shall be held in such form and manner as determined by the Board.  The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock
Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of
separate Restricted Stock Award Agreements need not be identical, provided, however, that each Restricted
Stock Award Agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof
by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the
following provisions:

 

17

 

(i)            Consideration.  A Restricted Stock Award may be awarded in consideration
for (A) past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate, or
(B) any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the
Board in its sole discretion and permissible under applicable law.

 

(ii)           Vesting.  Shares of Common Stock awarded under the
Restricted Stock Award Agreement may be subject to forfeiture to the Company in
accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Board.

 

(iii)         Termination
of Participant’s Continuous Service. 
In the event a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates, the Company
may receive via a forfeiture condition, any or all of the shares of Common
Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of
termination of Continuous Service under the terms of the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement.

 

(iv)          Transferability.  Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock
under the Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall be transferable by the
Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the
Restricted Stock Award Agreement, as the Board shall determine in its sole
discretion, so long as Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement remains subject to the terms of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.

 

(c)           Restricted
Stock Unit Awards.  Each Restricted
Stock Unit Award Agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms
and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate.  The terms and conditions of Restricted Stock
Unit Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions
of separate Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreements need not be identical, provided, however, that each Restricted
Stock Unit Award Agreement shall include (through incorporation of the
provisions hereof by reference in the Agreement or otherwise) the substance of
each of the following provisions:

 

(i)            Consideration.  At the time of grant of a Restricted Stock
Unit Award, the Board will determine the consideration, if any, to be paid by
the Participant upon delivery of each share of Common Stock subject to the
Restricted Stock Unit Award. The consideration to be paid (if any) by the
Participant for each share of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Unit
Award may be paid in any form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to
the Board in its sole discretion and permissible under applicable law.

 

(ii)           Vesting. 
At the time of the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award,
the Board may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of the
Restricted Stock Unit Award as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

 

(iii)         Payment.  A Restricted Stock Unit Award may be settled
by the delivery of shares of Common Stock, their cash equivalent, any
combination thereof or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the
Board and contained in the Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.

 

(iv)          Additional Restrictions.  At the time of the grant of a
Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Board, as it deems appropriate, may impose
such restrictions or conditions that 

 

18

 

delay the delivery of the shares of Common Stock (or
their cash equivalent) subject to a Restricted Stock Unit Award to a time after
the vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit Award.

 

(v)            Dividend Equivalents.  Dividend equivalents may be
credited in respect of shares of Common Stock covered by a Restricted Stock
Unit Award, as determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Stock
Unit Award Agreement.  At the sole
discretion of the Board, such dividend equivalents may be converted into
additional shares of Common Stock covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award in
such manner as determined by the Board. 
Any additional shares covered by the Restricted Stock Unit Award
credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all the
terms and conditions of the underlying Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement to
which they relate.

 

(vi)          Termination of Participant’s Continuous
Service.  Except as otherwise
provided in the applicable Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, such portion
of the Restricted Stock Unit Award that has not vested will be forfeited upon
the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service.

 

(vii)         Compliance with Section 409A of the
Code.   Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Restricted Stock Unit Award
granted under the Plan that is not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A
of the Code shall contain such provisions so that such Restricted Stock Unit
Award will comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  Such restrictions, if any, shall be
determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Stock Unit Award
Agreement evidencing such Restricted Stock Unit Award.  For example, such restrictions may include,
without limitation, a requirement that any Common Stock that is to be issued in
a year following the year in which the Restricted Stock Unit Award vests must
be issued in accordance with a fixed pre-determined schedule.

 

(d)           Stock
Appreciation Rights.  Each Stock
Appreciation Right Agreement shall be in such form and shall contain such terms
and conditions as the Board shall deem appropriate.  Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted as
stand-alone Stock Awards or in tandem with other Stock Awards.  The terms and conditions of Stock
Appreciation Right Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and
conditions of separate Stock Appreciation Right Agreements need not be
identical; provided, however,
that each Stock Appreciation Right Agreement shall include (through
incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the Agreement or
otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

 

(i)            Term.  No Stock Appreciation Right shall be
exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date of its grant or such
shorter period specified in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement.

 

(ii)           Strike Price. Each Stock
Appreciation Right will be denominated in shares of Common Stock
equivalents.  The strike price of each
Stock Appreciation Right granted as a stand-alone or tandem Stock Award shall
not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock equivalents
subject to the Stock Appreciation Right on the date of grant.

 

(iii)         Calculation of Appreciation.  The appreciation distribution payable on the
exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right will be not greater than an amount equal
to the excess 

 

19

 

of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the
date of the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right) of a number of shares of
Common Stock equal to the number of share of Common Stock equivalents in which
the Participant is vested under such Stock Appreciation Right, and with respect
to which the Participant is exercising the Stock Appreciation Right on such
date, over (B) the strike price that will be determined by the Board at
the time of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right.

 

(iv)          Vesting. 
At the time of the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the
Board may impose such restrictions or conditions to the vesting of such Stock
Appreciation Right as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

 

(v)            Exercise.  To exercise any outstanding Stock
Appreciation Right, the Participant must provide written notice of exercise to
the Company in compliance with the provisions of the Stock Appreciation Right
Agreement evidencing such Stock Appreciation Right.

 

(vi)          Payment.  The appreciation distribution in respect to a
Stock Appreciation Right may be paid in Common Stock, in cash, in any
combination of the two or in any other form of consideration, as determined by
the Board and contained in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement evidencing
such Stock Appreciation Right.

 

(vii)         Termination of Continuous Service.  In the event that a Participant’s Continuous
Service terminates (other than for Cause or Retirement), the Participant may
exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right (to the extent that the
Participant was entitled to exercise such Stock Appreciation Right as of the
date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier
of (A) the date three (3) months following the termination of the
Participant’s Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in
the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement), or (B) the expiration of the term
of the Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the Stock Appreciation Right
Agreement.  If, after termination, the
Participant does not exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right within the
time specified herein or in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement (as
applicable), the Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate.

 

(viii)        Disability.  In the event that a the Participant’s
Continuous Service terminates as a result of his or her Disability, such
Participant may exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right (to the extent
that he or she was entitled to exercise such Stock Appreciation Right as of the
date of termination of Continuous Service), but only within such period of time
ending on the earlier of (i) the date 12 months following such termination
of Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Stock
Appreciation Right Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the
Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the Stock Appreciation Right
Agreement.  If, after termination of
Continuous Service, the Stock Appreciation Right holder does not exercise his
or her Stock Appreciation Right within the time specified herein or in the
Stock Appreciation Right Agreement (as applicable), the Stock Appreciation
Right shall terminate.

 

(ix)          Death of Participant.  In the event that (i) a
Participant’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of his or her death, or
(ii) the Participant dies within the period (if 

 

20

 

any) specified in the Stock Appreciation Right
Agreement after the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service for a
reason other than death, then the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised (to
the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise such Stock Appreciation
Right as of the date of death) by the Participant’s estate, by a person who
acquired the right to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right by bequest or
inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right
upon the Participant’s death, but only within the period ending on the earlier
of (i) the date 18 months following the date of death (or such longer or
shorter period specified in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement), or (ii) the
expiration of the term of such Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the
Stock Appreciation Right Agreement.  If,
after the Participant’s death, the Stock Appreciation Right is not exercised
within the time specified herein or in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement
(as applicable), the Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate.

 

(x)           Retirement
of Participant.  In the event that an
Participant’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of his or her Retirement,
he or she may exercise his or her Stock Appreciation Right (to the extent that he
or she was entitled to exercise such Stock Appreciation Right as of the date of
termination of Continuous Service), but only within such period of time ending
on the earlier of (i) the date 12 months following such termination of
Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Stock
Appreciation Right Agreement), or (ii) the expiration of the term of the
Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the Stock Appreciation Right
Agreement.  If, after termination of
Continuous Service, the Participant does not exercise his or her Stock
Appreciation Right within the time specified herein or in the Stock
Appreciation Right Agreement (as applicable), the Stock Appreciation Right
shall terminate.

 

(xi)          Termination for Cause.  Except as explicitly provided otherwise in an
Participant’s Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, in the event that a
Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for Cause, the Stock
Appreciation Right shall terminate upon the termination date of such
Participant’s Continuous Service, and the Participant shall be prohibited from
exercising his or her Stock Appreciation Right from and after the time of such
termination of Continuous Service.

 

(xii)         Compliance with Section 409A of the
Code.   Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein, any Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the
Plan that are not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code
shall contain such provisions so that such Stock Appreciation Rights will
comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  Such restrictions, if any, shall be
determined by the Board and contained in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement
evidencing such Stock Appreciation Right. 
For example, such restrictions may include, without limitation, a
requirement that a Stock Appreciation Right that is to be paid wholly or partly
in cash must be exercised and paid in accordance with a fixed pre-determined
schedule.

 

(e)           Performance Awards.

 

(i)            Performance Stock Awards.  A Performance Stock Award is a Stock Award
that may be granted, may vest, or may be exercised based upon the attainment
during a Performance Period of certain Performance Goals.  A Performance Stock Award may, but need not,
require the completion of a specified period of Continuous Service. The length
of any 

 

21

 

Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be
achieved during the Performance Period, and the measure of whether and to what
degree such Performance Goals have been attained shall be conclusively
determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The maximum benefit to be received by any
Participant in any calendar year attributable to Stock Awards described in this
Section 7(e) shall not exceed the value of four million (4,000,000) shares
of Common Stock.

 

(ii)           Performance Cash Awards.  A Performance Cash Award is a cash award that
may be granted upon the attainment during a Performance Period of certain
Performance Goals.  A Performance Cash
Award may also require the completion of a specified period of Continuous
Service.  The length of any Performance
Period, the Performance Goals to be achieved during the Performance Period, and
the measure of whether and to what degree such Performance Goals have been
attained shall be conclusively determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.  The maximum benefit to be received by any
Participant in any calendar year attributable to cash awards described in this Section 7(e) shall
not exceed one million six hundred thousand dollars ($1,600,000).

 

(f)            Other Stock Awards.  Other forms of Stock Awards valued in whole
or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Stock may be granted
either alone or in addition to Stock Awards provided for under Section 6
and the preceding provisions of this Section 7.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the
Board shall have sole and complete authority to determine the persons to whom
and the time or times at which such Other Stock Awards will be granted, the
number of shares of Common Stock (or the cash equivalent thereof) to be granted
pursuant to such Other Stock Awards and all other terms and conditions of such
Other Stock Awards.

 

8.             COVENANTS
OF THE COMPANY.

 

(a)           Availability
of Shares.  During the terms of the
Stock Awards, the Company shall keep available at all times the number of shares
of Common Stock required to satisfy such Stock Awards.

 

(b)           Securities
Law Compliance.  The Company shall
seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or agency having jurisdiction
over the Plan such authority as may be required to grant Stock Awards and to
issue and sell shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Stock Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require
the Company to register under the Securities Act the Plan, any Stock Award or
any Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such Stock Award.  If, after reasonable efforts, the Company is
unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority
that counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance and sale
of Common Stock under the Plan, the Company shall be relieved from any
liability for failure to issue and sell Common Stock upon exercise of such
Stock Awards unless and until such authority is obtained.

 

9.             USE
OF PROCEEDS FROM SALES OF COMMON STOCK.

 

Proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock
pursuant to Stock Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.

 

22

 

10.          MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)           Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Stock
Awards.  Corporate action
constituting an offer by the Company of Common Stock to any Participant under
the terms of a Stock Award shall only be deemed completed as of the date of
such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of
when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Stock Award is
actually received or accepted by the Participant.

 

(b)           Stockholder
Rights.  No Participant shall be
deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with
respect to, any shares of Common Stock subject to any Stock Award unless and
until such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the Stock
Award pursuant to its terms.

 

(c)           No
Employment or Other Service Rights. 
Nothing in the Plan, any Award Agreement or other instrument executed
thereunder or in connection with any Award granted pursuant to the Plan shall
confer upon any Participant any right to continue to 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 (i) the
employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the
service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement
with the Company or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director of
the Company or an Affiliate.

 

(d)           Incentive
Stock Option $100,000 Limitation.  To
the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of
grant) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year
(under all plans of the Company and any Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, the
Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in
which they were granted) shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options,
notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Option Agreement(s).

 

(e)           Investment
Assurances.  The Company may require
a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Stock under any
Stock Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as
to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters
and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the
Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters
and that he or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the
purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Stock Award;
and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating
that the Participant is acquiring Common Stock subject to the Stock Award for
the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or
otherwise distributing the Common Stock. 
The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such
requirements, shall be inoperative if (x) the issuance of the shares upon the
exercise or acquisition of Common Stock under the Stock Award has been
registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, or (y) as to any particular requirement, a determination is
made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the
circumstances under the then applicable securities laws.  The Company may, upon advice of counsel to
the Company, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such 

 

23

 

counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to
comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends
restricting the transfer of the Common Stock.

 

(f)            Withholding
Obligations.  The Company may, in its
sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation
relating to an Award by any of the following means (in addition to the Company’s
right to withhold from any payment to the Participant by the Company) or by a
combination of such means: (i) causing the Participant to tender a cash
payment; (ii)  withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of
Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with
a Stock Award; or (iii) by such other method as may be set forth in the Award
Agreement.

 

(g)           Electronic
Delivery.  Any reference herein to a “written”
agreement or document shall include any agreement or document delivered
electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet.

 

11.          ADJUSTMENTS
UPON CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK; OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

 

(a)           Capitalization
Adjustments.  If any change is made
in, or other events occur with respect to, the Common Stock subject to the Plan
or subject to any Stock Award after the Effective Date 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 (each a “Capitalization Adjustment”)), the Board
shall appropriately adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number of
securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 4(a), (ii) the
class(es) and maximum number of securities that may be issued pursuant to the
exercise of Incentive Stock Options pursuant to Section 4(c), (iii) the
class(es) and maximum number of securities that may be awarded to any person
pursuant to Section 5(c) and 7(e)(i) , and (iv) the
class(es) and number of securities and price per share of stock subject to
outstanding Stock Awards.  The Board
shall make such adjustments, and its determination shall be final, binding and
conclusive.  (Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall
not be treated as a transaction “without receipt of consideration” by the
Company.)

 

(b)           Dissolution
or Liquidation.  In the event of a
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all outstanding Stock Awards (other
than Stock Awards consisting of vested and outstanding shares of Common Stock
not subject to the Company’s right of repurchase) shall become fully vested,
exercisable and/or no longer subject to repurchase or forfeiture (to the extent
such Stock Awards have not previously expired or terminated) before the
dissolution or liquidation is completed but contingent on its completion.

 

(c)           Corporate Transaction.   The following provisions shall apply to
Awards in the event of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in the
instrument evidencing the Award or any other written agreement between the Company
or any Affiliate and the holder of the Award or unless otherwise expressly
provided by the Board at the time of grant of an Award.

 

24

 

(i)            Awards May Be Assumed.  In the event of a Corporate Transaction, any
surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring
corporation’s parent company) may assume or continue any or all Awards
outstanding under the Plan or may substitute similar awards for Awards
outstanding under the Plan (including but not limited to, awards to acquire the
same consideration paid to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the
Corporate Transaction), and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the
Company in respect of Common Stock issued pursuant to Awards may be assigned by
the Company to the successor of the Company (or the successor’s parent company,
if any), in connection with such Corporate Transaction.  A surviving corporation or acquiring
corporation (or its parent) may choose to assume or continue only a portion of
an Award or substitute a similar award for only a portion of an Award.  The terms of any assumption, continuation or
substitution shall be set by the Board in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.

 

(ii)           Awards Held by Current Participants.  In the event of a Corporate Transaction in
which the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or its parent
company) does not assume or continue such outstanding Awards or substitute
similar awards for such outstanding Awards, then with respect to Awards that
have not been assumed, continued or substituted and that are held by
Participants whose Continuous Service has not terminated prior to the effective
time of the Corporate Transaction (referred to as the “Current Participants”),
the vesting of such Awards (and, if applicable, the time at which Stock Awards
may be exercised) shall (contingent upon the effectiveness of the Corporate
Transaction) be accelerated in full to a date prior to the effective time of
such Corporate Transaction as the Board shall determine (or, if the Board shall
not determine such a date, to the date that is five days prior to the effective
time of the Corporate Transaction), and such Awards shall terminate if not
exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the Corporate
Transaction, and any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Company
with respect to such Awards shall lapse (contingent upon the effectiveness of
the Corporate Transaction).

 

(iii)         Awards Held by Persons other than Current
Participants.  In the event of
a Corporate Transaction in which the surviving corporation or acquiring
corporation (or its parent company) does not assume or continue such
outstanding Awards or substitute similar awards for such outstanding Awards,
then with respect to Awards that have not been assumed, continued or
substituted and that are held by persons other than Current Participants, the
vesting of such Awards (and, if applicable, the time at which Stock Awards may
be exercised) shall not be accelerated and such Awards (other than a Stock
Award consisting of vested and outstanding shares of Common Stock not subject
to the Company’s right of repurchase) shall terminate if not exercised (if
applicable) prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction; provided, however, that any reacquisition
or repurchase rights held by the Company with respect to such Awards shall not
terminate and may continue to be exercised notwithstanding the Corporate
Transaction.

 

(iv)          Payment for Stock Awards in Lieu of Exercise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
an Award will terminate if not exercised prior to the effective time of a
Corporate Transaction, the Board may provide, in its sole discretion, that the
holder of such Award may not exercise such Stock Award but will receive a
payment, in such form as may be determined by the Board, equal in value to the
excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the 

 

25

 

holder of the Stock Award would have received upon the
exercise of the Award, over (B) any exercise price payable by such holder
in connection with such exercise.

 

(d)           Change in
Control.  An Award may be subject to
additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after a Change in
Control as may be provided in the applicable Award agreement or as may be
provided in any other written agreement between the Company or any Affiliate
and the Participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration
shall occur.

 

(e)           Parachute
Payments.

 

(i)            Except
as otherwise provided in a written agreement between the Company and a
Participant, if the acceleration of the vesting and exercisability of Awards
provided for in Sections 11(c) and 11(d), together with payments and other
benefits of a Participant  (collectively,
the “Payment”)
(i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G
of the Code, or any comparable successor provisions, and (ii) but for this
Section 11(e) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999
of the Code, or any comparable successor provisions (the “Excise Tax”), then
such Payment shall be either (1) provided to such Participant in full, or (2) provided
to such Participant as to such lesser extent that would result in no portion of
such Payment being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing
amounts, when taking into account applicable federal, state, local and foreign
income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes,
results in the receipt by such Participant, on an after-tax basis, of the
greatest amount of the Payment, notwithstanding that all or some portion of the
Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax.

 

(ii)           The
Company shall appoint a nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Accountant”) to make
the determinations required hereunder, which accounting firm shall not then be
serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group that
effected the Change in Control.  The
Company shall bear all costs and expenses with respect to the determinations
the Accountant may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations
contemplated by this Section 11(e).

 

(iii)         Unless
the Company and such Participant otherwise agree in writing, any determination
required under this Section 11(e) shall be made in writing in good
faith by the Accountant.  If a reduction
in the Payment is to be made as provided above, reductions shall occur in the
following order unless the Participant elects in writing a different order (provided, however, that such election
shall be subject to Company approval if made on or after the date that triggers
the Payment or a portion thereof):(A) reduction of cash payments; (B) cancellation
of accelerated vesting of Options and other Awards; and (C) reduction of
other benefits paid to the Participant. 
If acceleration of vesting of Awards is to be reduced, such acceleration
of vesting shall be cancelled in the reverse order of date of grant of the
Awards (i.e., the earliest
granted Award cancelled last) unless the Participant elects in writing a
different order for cancellation.

 

(iv)          For
purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 11(e), the
Accountant may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning
applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations
concerning the application of the Code 

 

26

 

and other applicable legal authority.  The Company and the Participant shall furnish
to the Accountant such information and documents as the Accountant may
reasonably request in order to make such a determination.  The Company shall bear all costs that the
Accountant may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated
by this Section 11(e).

 

(v)            If,
notwithstanding any reduction described above, the Internal Revenue Service
(the “IRS”)
determines that the Participant is liable for the Excise Tax as a result of the
Payment, then the Participant shall be obligated to pay back to the Company,
within thirty (30) days after a final IRS determination or, in the event that
the Participant challenges the final IRS determination, a final judicial
determination, a portion of the Payment (the “Repayment Amount”).  The Repayment Amount with respect to the
Payment shall be the smallest such amount, if any, as shall be required to be
paid to the Company so that the Participant’s net after-tax proceeds with
respect to the Payment (after taking into account the payment of the Excise Tax
and all other applicable taxes imposed on the Payment) shall be maximized.  The Repayment Amount with respect to the
Payment shall be zero if a Repayment Amount of more than zero would not result
in the Participant’s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the Payment being
maximized.  If the Excise Tax is not
eliminated pursuant to this paragraph, the Optionholder shall pay the Excise
Tax.

 

(vi)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 11(e), if (A) there is a
reduction in the Payment as described above, (B) the IRS later determines
that the Participant is liable for the Excise Tax, the payment of which would
result in the maximization of the Participant’s net after-tax proceeds of the
Payment (calculated as if the Payment had not previously been reduced), and (C) the
Participant the Excise Tax, then the Company shall pay or otherwise provide to
the Participant that portion of the Payment that was reduced pursuant to this Section 11(e) contemporaneously
or as soon as administratively possible after the Optionholder pays the Excise
Tax so that the Participant’s net after-tax proceeds with respect to the
Payment are maximized.

 

(vii)         If the
Participant either (A) brings any action to enforce rights pursuant to
this Section 11(e), or (B) defends any legal challenge to his or her
rights under this Section 11(e), the Participant shall be entitled to
recover attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such action,
regardless of the outcome of such action; provided,
however, that if such action is commenced by the Participant, the court
finds that the action was brought in good faith.

 

12.          TERMINATION
OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

 

(a)           Plan
Term.  Unless sooner terminated by
the Board pursuant to Section 3, the Plan shall automatically terminate on
the day before the 10th anniversary of the date the Plan is adopted by the
Board.  No Awards may be granted under
the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

 

(b)           No
Impairment of Rights.  Termination of
the Plan shall not impair rights and obligations under any Award granted while
the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the affected
Participant.

 

27

 

13.                               EFFECTIVE
DATE OF PLAN.

 

This Plan shall become
effective on the Effective Date.

 

14.                               CHOICE
OF LAW.

 

The law of the State of
California shall govern all questions concerning the construction, validity and
interpretation of this Plan, without regard to such state’s conflict of laws
rules.
