PROLOGIS, INC.

2012 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT TERMS & CONDITIONS

Unless otherwise defined herein, the terms defined in the Prologis, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) will have the same defined meanings in this Restricted Stock Unit Terms & Conditions (together with the Restricted Stock Unit Notice of Grant and Country Appendix, which are incorporated herein, the “Award Agreement”). 

1.Grant.  Prologis, Inc. (“Prologis”), hereby grants to Participant under the Plan a Full Value Award in the form of Restricted Stock Units (the “Restricted Stock Units”), subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Award Agreement (including, without limitation, paragraph 23(a) concerning specific provisions relating to employment agreements of Participants and any specific terms and conditions for Participant’s Country set forth in the Country Appendix) and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Award Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail.

2.Prologis’ Obligation to Pay.  Unless and until the Restricted Stock Units will have vested in the manner set forth in the related Restricted Stock Unit Notice of Grant, paragraph 3 below or the express terms of the Plan, Participant will have no right to payment with respect to any such Restricted Stock Units.  Prior to actual payment with respect to any Restricted Stock Units, such Restricted Stock Units will represent an unsecured obligation of Prologis, payable (if at all) only from the general assets of Prologis.  

3.Vesting Schedule and Issuance of Stock.  

(a)Subject to paragraph 11 hereof, and subsection 4.3 of the Plan, the Restricted Stock Units awarded by this Award Agreement will vest as to the number of Restricted Stock Units, and on the dates shown, as set forth in the related Restricted Stock Unit Notice of Grant (each a “Vesting Date”); provided, however, that (i) if Participant’s Termination Date occurs by reason of death or Disability, any unvested Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award shall vest immediately on the Termination Date and the Termination Date shall be deemed the “Vesting Date” for purposes of this Award Agreement, and (ii) all Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award that are not vested on or before Participant’s Termination Date shall immediately expire and be forfeited, and Participant shall have no further right with respect to such Restricted Stock Units.   

(b)As soon as practicable upon or following each Vesting Date but, except as provided in this Award Agreement, in no event later than March 15 of the year following the year that includes the applicable Vesting Date, one share of Stock shall be issued for each Restricted Stock Unit that vests on such Vesting Date, subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Award Agreement.    

(c)If vesting of the Award is accelerated, the following shall apply:

(i)If the Committee, in its discretion, accelerates the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the Award, the payment of such accelerated portion of the Award shall be made as soon as practicable after the new vesting date, but, except as provided in this Award Agreement, in no event later than two and one-half (21⁄2) months following the end of Prologis’ taxable year in which the applicable Vesting Date occurs; provided, however, if Participant is a U.S. taxpayer and the Award is “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), the payment of such accelerated portion of the Award nevertheless shall be made at the same time or times as if such Award had vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in paragraph 3(a) (whether or not Participant continues to provide services to Prologis or a Related Company as of such date(s)), unless an earlier payment date, in the judgment of the Committee, would not cause Participant to incur an additional tax under Section 409A, in which case, payment of such accelerated Award shall be made within two and one-half (21⁄2) months following the earliest permissible payment date that would not cause Participant to incur an additional tax under Section 409A.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any delay in payment pursuant to this paragraph 3(c) will cease upon Participant’s death and such payment will be made as soon as practicable, but in no event more than ninety (90) days, after the date of Participant’s death.

(ii)If the vesting of all or a portion of this Award accelerates pursuant to (A) subsection 4.3 of the Plan in the event of a corporate transaction that is not a “change in control” within the meaning of Section 409A, or (B) any other plan or agreement that provides for acceleration in the event of a corporate transaction that is not a “change in control” within the meaning of Section 409A, then the payment of such accelerated portion of the Award (including any new or additional Awards existing as a result of subsection 4.2 of the Plan) will be made in accordance with the timing of payment rules that apply to discretionary accelerations under paragraph 3(c)(i).  If the vesting of all or a portion of this Award accelerates in the event of a corporate transaction that is a “change in control” within the meaning of Section 409A, then the payment of such accelerated portion of the Award 

 

 

(including any new or additional Awards existing as a result of subsection 4.2 of the Plan) will be made within two and one-half (21⁄2) months after the corporate transaction.

(d)No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under this Award Agreement.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Award Agreement, this Award is subject to the Recoupment Policy set forth in the Prologis Governance Guidelines and any other clawback policies that are adopted by Prologis.  

(f)Except as provided in the foregoing provisions of this paragraph 3, upon Participant’s Termination Date, the unvested Restricted Stock Units will thereupon be forfeited at no cost to Prologis and Participant’s right to vest in the Restricted Stock Units and acquire any shares of Stock hereunder with respect to such Restricted Stock Units will immediately terminate.  For purposes of this Award, the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine Participant’s Termination Date. 

4.Dividend Equivalent Payments.  

(a)As of each dividend payment date with respect to Stock, Participant shall be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Payment (as defined below) in an amount equal to (i) the dividend paid with respect to a share of Stock, multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, if any, that are outstanding on the applicable dividend record date with respect to such dividend payment date.  Unless otherwise set forth in the Country Appendix, Dividend Equivalent Payments with respect to outstanding shares of Stock subject to the Award generally shall be paid at the same time and in the same form that dividends are paid on Stock; provided, however, that any Dividend Equivalent Payment to which Participant is entitled for any calendar year shall be paid no later than March 15 of the year following the year in which the corresponding dividend record date on the Stock occurs.  The Committee may prospectively change the method of crediting dividend equivalents as it, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate from time to time provided that such change does not have a material adverse tax effect on Participant.    

(b)The right to Dividend Equivalent Payments under this Award Agreement does not constitute an award of Stock, and nothing in this Award Agreement shall be construed as giving Participant any rights as a shareholder of Prologis prior to payment of the Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Payments (if paid in Stock). 

(c)For purposes of this Award Agreement, “Dividend Equivalent Payment” means, for each share of Stock represented by an outstanding Restricted Stock Unit, a payment in an amount equal to, and in the same form of payment as, the dividend paid on one share of Stock, except as otherwise determined by the Committee or set forth in the Country Appendix. 

(d)As specified in the Country Appendix, Participants residing in countries where Prologis has, in its sole discretion, determined that payment of Dividend Equivalent Payments in cash is not advisable for legal, tax or administrative reasons will earn a “Dividend Equivalent Unit” equal in value to a Dividend Equivalent Payment for each share of Stock represented by an outstanding Restricted Stock Unit.  Dividend Equivalent Units will be subject to the same vesting schedule as the underlying Restricted Stock Units and be settled in shares of Stock at such time as the Restricted Stock Units are settled. 

5.Payments after Death.  Any distribution or delivery to be made to Participant under this Award Agreement will, if Participant is then deceased, be made to Participant’s beneficiary designated by will or the laws of descent and distribution.  Any such beneficiary must furnish Prologis with (a) written notice of his or her status as beneficiary, and (b) evidence satisfactory to Prologis to establish the validity of the transfer and compliance with any laws or regulations pertaining to said transfer.

6.Withholding of Taxes.  

(a)Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action taken by Prologis or, if different, Participant’s employer (the “Employer”) the ultimate liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant (“Tax-Related Items”), is and remains Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by Prologis or the Employer.  

(b)Participant acknowledges and agrees that Prologis and/or the Employer (i) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Award, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, the subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to such settlement, the accrual or settlement of any Dividend Equivalent Payments and/or the receipt of any dividends; and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the Award or any aspect of the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Equivalent Payments to reduce or eliminate Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result.  Further, if Participant is subject to Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction between the Date of Grant and the date of any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant acknowledges that Prologis and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

 

 

(c)Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event, as applicable, Participant agrees to make adequate arrangements satisfactory to Prologis and/or the Employer to satisfy all Tax-Related Items.  If such arrangements are not made by Participant by the date specified by Prologis and communicated to Participant (and in no event less than 30 days prior to the Vesting Date), Participant authorizes Prologis or its agent to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by withholding in shares of Stock to be issued upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units and, if applicable, Dividend Equivalent Units.  In the event that such withholding in Stock is problematic under applicable tax or securities law or has adverse accounting consequences, by Participant’s acceptance of this Award, Participant authorizes and directs Prologis and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to Prologis to sell, on Participant’s behalf, a whole number of shares of Stock from those shares of Stock issued to Participant upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units and, if applicable, Dividend Equivalent Unit as Prologis determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the obligation for Tax-Related Items.

(d)Depending on the withholding method, Prologis may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates, in which case Participant will receive a cash refund of any over-withheld amount not remitted to tax authorities on Participant’s behalf and will have no entitlement to the Stock equivalent.  If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in shares of Stock, for tax purposes, Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of shares of Stock subject to the vested Restricted Stock Units and, if applicable, Dividend Equivalent Units, notwithstanding that a number of the shares of Stock are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items.

(e)Finally, Participant agrees to pay to Prologis or the Employer, including through withholding from Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Participant by Prologis and/or the Employer, any amount of Tax-Related Items that Prologis or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described.  Prologis may refuse to issue or deliver the Stock issuable upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and, if applicable, Dividend Equivalent Units, or the proceeds of the sale of such Stock, if Participant fails to comply with Participant’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

7.Rights as Stockholder.  Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of Prologis in respect of any Stock deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Stock will have been issued, recorded on the records of Prologis or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant.  After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a shareholder of Prologis including with respect to voting such Stock and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Stock.

8.Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Award Agreement to the contrary, if any payment with respect to any Restricted Stock Units (including any Dividend Equivalent Payments) is subject to Section 409A and if such payment is to be paid or provided on account of Participant’s Termination Date (or other separation from service or termination of employment, other than death):

(a)and if Participant is a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A) and if any such payment or benefit is required to be made or provided prior to the date which is six months following Participant’s Termination Date, such payment or benefit shall be delayed until the date which is six months and one day following Participant’s Termination Date; provided, however, that if Participant dies prior to this Termination Date, all remaining payments shall be paid to his estate within ninety (90) days following his death; and 

(b)the determination as to whether Participant has had a Termination Date (or other termination of employment or separation from service) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A and the guidance issued thereunder without application of any alternative levels of reductions of bona fide services permitted thereunder.

It is the intent of this Award Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Payments provided under this Award Agreement or Stock issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply.  Neither Prologis nor any Related Company, however, makes any representation regarding the tax consequences of this Award.

9.No Guarantee of Continued Service.  PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF THE RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS AND DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT UNITS PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY REMAINING AN EMPLOYEE OF AND/OR PROVIDING MATERIAL SERVICES TO PROLOGIS OR A RELATED COMPANY AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THIS AWARD OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS OR ACQUIRING STOCK HEREUNDER.  PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER, THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN AND PARTICIPANT’S PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN (a) DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT WITH THE EMPLOYER FOR THE 

 

 

VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, (b) WILL NOT BE INTERPRETED AS FORMING AN EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICES CONTRACT WITH PROLOGIS, THE EMPLOYER OR ANY RELATED COMPANY, AND (c) WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT’S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF PROLOGIS, THE EMPLOYER OR ANY RELATED COMPANY, AS APPLICABLE, TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT’S EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE RELATIONSHIP (IF ANY) WITH THE EMPLOYER AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE.  

10.Address for Notices.  Any notice to be given to Prologis or a Related Company or the Employer under the terms of this Award Agreement will be addressed to the Committee, in care of Prologis, at its principal operational offices at 4545 Airport Way, Denver, CO 80239, U.S.A., Attention: General Counsel, or at such other address as Prologis may hereafter designate in writing.  

11.Change in Control.  In the event that, prior to the Vesting Date and prior to the date on which the Award has otherwise expired and (a) while Participant is an employee and is providing services to Prologis or a Related Company, Participant’s employment is terminated  by Prologis or the successor to Prologis or a Related Company which is Participant’s employer for reasons other than Cause, in any such case within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control or (b) the Plan is terminated by Prologis or its successor following a Change in Control without provision for the continuation of the Award to the extent then outstanding, then the Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units, to the extent they have not otherwise expired or been cancelled or forfeited, shall immediately vest and the date of the vesting shall be the “Vesting Date.”  Any Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units that vest pursuant to this paragraph 11 shall be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of paragraph 3 above and the other terms and conditions of the Plan. 

For purposes of this paragraph 11, Participant’s employment shall be deemed to be terminated by Prologis or the successor to Prologis (or a Related Company) if Participant terminates employment after (i) a substantial adverse alteration in the nature of Participant’s status or responsibilities from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or (ii) a material reduction in Participant’s annual base salary and target bonus, if any, as in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control.

In any event, if, upon a Change in Control, awards in other shares or securities are substituted for outstanding Awards pursuant to Section 4 of the Plan (or a successor provision), and immediately following the Change in Control, Participant becomes employed by the entity into which Prologis merged, or the purchaser of substantially all of the assets of Prologis, or a successor to such entity or purchaser, Participant shall not be treated as having terminated employment for purposes of this paragraph 11 until such time as Participant ceases to be an employee and/or ceases to provide services to the merged entity or purchaser (or successor), as applicable. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the Plan or by Prologis in its discretion, the Restricted Stock Units and the benefits evidenced by this Award Agreement do not create any entitlement to have the Restricted Stock Units or any such benefits transferred to, or assumed by, another company nor be exchanged, cashed out or substituted for, in connection with any corporate transaction affecting the Stock of Prologis. 

12.Nature of Award.  In accepting the Award of Restricted Stock Units, Participant acknowledges, understands and agrees that:

(a)the Plan is established voluntarily by Prologis;

(b)the Award of Restricted Stock Units is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if Awards have been granted in the past; 

(c)all decisions with respect to future Awards of Restricted Stock Units, if any, will be at the sole discretion of Prologis; 

(d)Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan;

(e)the Restricted Stock Units and the Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(f)the Award of Restricted Stock Units and the Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation for purposes of calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, dismissal, end-of-service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments;

(g)the future value of the underlying Stock is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty; 

 

 

(h)unless otherwise agreed with Prologis, the Restricted Stock Units and the Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service Participant may provide as a director of a Related Company;

(i)in addition to paragraphs (a) - (h), the following provisions will also apply if Participant is employed or providing services outside the United States:

(i)no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from forfeiture of the Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units resulting from the termination of Participant's employment or other service relationship (for any reason whatsoever whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where Participant is employed or the terms of Participant’s employment agreement, if any), and in consideration of the Award of the Restricted Stock Units to which Participant is otherwise not entitled, Participant irrevocably agrees never to institute any claim against Prologis, the Employer and any Related Company, waives his or her ability, if any, to bring any such claim, and releases Prologis, the Employer and all Related Companies from any such claim; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is allowed by a court of competent jurisdiction then, by participating in the Plan, Participant shall be deemed irrevocably to have agreed not to pursue such claim and agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to request dismissal or withdrawal of such claim;

(ii)the Restricted Stock Units and the Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Units are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purpose; and

(iii)neither Prologis or the Employer (nor any Related Company) shall be liable for any foreign exchange rate fluctuation between Participant’s local currency and the United States Dollar that may affect the value of the Restricted Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Payments and/or Dividend Equivalent Units or of any amounts due to Participant pursuant to the settlement of the Restricted Stock Units, Dividend Equivalent Payments and/or Dividend Equivalent Units or the subsequent sale of any Stock acquired upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units.

13.Choice of Language. Participant has received this Award Agreement and any other related communications (including the Restricted Stock Unit Notice of Grant) and consents to having received these documents solely in English.  In the event that any document distributed to Participant in connection with the Award of Restricted Stock Units is translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.  

14.No Advice Regarding Award.  Neither Prologis, the Employer nor any Related Company is providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is Prologis, the Employer or any Related Company making any recommendations regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan, or Participant’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Stock.  Participant is hereby advised to consult with Participant’s own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding Participant’s participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan.

15.Data Privacy Consent.  Participant hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Participant’s personal data as described in this Award Agreement and any other materials related to the Award of Restricted Stock Units (“Data”) by and among, as applicable, the Employer, Prologis and its Related Companies for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan. Participant understands that Data may include certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Stock or directorships held in Prologis, details of all Restricted Stock Units or any other entitlement to Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor. 

Participant understands that Data will be transferred to E*TRADE Financial Corporate Services and E*TRADE Securities LLC or such other stock plan service provider as may be selected by Prologis (the “Designated Broker”), which is assisting Prologis with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  Participant understands that the recipients of the Data may be located in the United States or elsewhere, and that a recipient’s country of operation (e.g., the United States) may have different data privacy laws and protections from Participant’s country.  Participant understands that if he or she resides outside the United States, he or she may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting his or her local human resources representative.  

Participant authorizes Prologis, the Designated Broker and any other possible recipients which may assist Prologis (presently or in the future) with implementing, administering and managing the Plan to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the sole purpose of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.  Participant understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage Participant’s participation in the Plan.  If Participant resides outside the United States, Participant may, at any time, view Data, request additional 

 

 

information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting in writing Participant’s local human resources representative.  

Participant acknowledges and agrees that this consent is being provided on a purely voluntary basis and that if Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke this consent, Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that Prologis would not be able to grant Participant Restricted Stock Units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards.  Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing this consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.  For more information on the consequences of Participant’s refusal to consent or withdrawal of this consent, Participant understands that Participant may contact his or her local human resources representative.

Finally, upon request of the Company or the Employer, Participant agrees to sign any data privacy consent form or other similar agreement that the Company, in its sole discretion, has determined to be necessary to obtain from Participant in order to administer Participant’s participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws or regulations in Participant’s country.  Participant will not be permitted to participate in the Plan if he or she fails to provide any such consent or agreement requested by the Company or the Employer. 

16.Award is Not Transferable.  Except to the limited extent provided in paragraph 5, this Award and the rights and privileges conferred hereby will not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and will not be subject to sale under execution, attachment or similar process.  

17.Binding Agreement.  Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this Award contained herein, this Award Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

18.Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock; Restriction on Sale of Securities.  If at any time Prologis will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Stock upon any securities exchange or under any local, state, federal or foreign securities or exchange control law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority, is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Stock to Participant (or his or her estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to Prologis.  Participant understands that Prologis is under no obligation to register or qualify the Stock with, or seek any approval or clearance from, any governmental regulatory authority for the issuance or sale of the Stock.  Further, Participant agrees that Prologis shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan and the Award Agreement without Participant’s consent to the extent necessary to comply with securities or other laws applicable to issuance of Stock.  Finally, Participant acknowledges that Participant’s subsequent sale of the Stock issued pursuant to this Award Agreement may be subject to any market blackout period that may be imposed by Prologis and must comply with Prologis’ insider trading policies, and any other applicable securities laws.  

19.Committee Authority.  The Committee will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Award Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalent Units have vested).  All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, Prologis and all other interested persons.  

20.Electronic Delivery and Acceptance.  Prologis may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to the Restricted Stock Units by electronic means or request Participant’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by Prologis, the Designated Broker or another third party designated by Prologis.

21.Captions.  Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Award Agreement.

22.Agreement Severable.  In the event that any provision in this Award Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, whether in whole or in part, such provision (or portion thereof) will be severable from, and such invalidity or unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Award Agreement.

23.Modifications to the Award Agreement.  

(a)If Participant is an employee, except as expressly set forth in  Participant’s employment agreement (if any) or any other individual agreements between Prologis and Participant (if any), this Award Agreement (including the Recoupment Policy referenced in paragraph 3(e)) constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered.  To the extent that any 

 

 

such agreement between Prologis and an employee-Participant contains more favorable terms with respect to the Restricted Stock Units than the terms contained herein, the terms of such other agreement shall control to the extent that such terms do not conflict with the Plan.  

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Award Agreement, Prologis may amend this Award Agreement as necessary to comply with Section 409A or to otherwise avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition under Section 409A in connection to this award of Restricted Stock Units.  

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or this Award Agreement, Prologis reserves the right to impose other requirements on Participant’s participation in the Plan, on the Award of Restricted Stock Units and on any Stock acquired under the Plan, to the extent that Prologis determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

24.Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.  Participant understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by Prologis at any time, to the extent permitted by the Plan.

25.Country Appendix. Notwithstanding any provisions in this Award Agreement, this Award of Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to any special terms and conditions set forth in the Country Appendix to this Award Agreement for Participant’s country.  Moreover, if Participant relocates to one of the countries included in the Country Appendix, the special terms and conditions for such country, if any, will apply to Participant to the extent that Prologis determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons.  The Country Appendix constitutes part of this Award Agreement.

26.Governing Law & Venue.  This Award Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.  For purposes of litigating any dispute that arises under this Award Agreement, the parties hereby submit to and consent to the jurisdiction of the State of Colorado, U.S.A., agree that such litigation shall be conducted in the courts of the county of Denver, Colorado, U.S.A., or the federal courts for the United States for the District of Colorado, where this grant is made and/or to be performed.

Participant’s country may require that he or she report such accounts, assets or transactions to the applicable authorities in Participant’s country.  Participant is responsible for knowledge of and compliance with any such regulations and is advised to speak with his or her tax, legal and financial advisors regarding same.

CHINA

The following provisions govern Participant’s participation in the Plan if Participant is a national of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) resident in mainland China:

Form of Dividend Equivalent Payments 

Notwithstanding paragraph 4 of the Award Agreement, Dividend Equivalent Payments shall accrue on the dividend payment date with respect to Stock and be paid to Participant in the form of additional shares of Stock on each Vesting Date of the Restricted Stock Units that entitled Participant to such Dividend Equivalent Payment.  For the avoidance of doubt, Dividend Equivalent Payments will be made with respect to the additional shares of Stock described in the preceding sentence.  No cash Dividend Equivalent Payments will be made to Participant.  

Mandatory Sale Restriction 

Due to exchange control restrictions in the PRC, Participant understands and agrees that Prologis reserves the right to require the automatic sale of any shares of Stock issuable to Participant upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units.  Participant understands and agrees that any automatic sale of the shares of Stock will occur as soon as is practical following settlement of the Restricted Stock Units.  

If Prologis does not exercise its right to require the automatic sale of Stock issuable upon settlement of the Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units, as described above, Participant understands and agrees that any Stock acquired by Participant under the Plan must be sold no later than six (6) months after Participant’s Termination Date, or within any other such time frame as may be permitted by Prologis or required by the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange. Participant understands that any shares of Stock acquired by Participant under the Plan that have not been sold by Participant within six (6) months of Participant’s Termination Date will be automatically sold by Prologis’ Designated Broker at the direction of Prologis.  

In this regard, Participant hereby expressly authorizes (i) Prologis to instruct the Designated Broker to assist with a mandatory sale of such Stock (on Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), and (ii) the Designated Broker to complete the 

- Appendix 1 -

 

sale of such Stock at the direction of Prologis.  Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Designated Broker is under no obligation to arrange for the sale of the shares of Stock at any particular price.  Participant understands and agrees that, upon any such sale of the Stock, the sales proceeds (less any applicable Tax-Related Items and/or broker’s fees or commissions) will be remitted to Participant in accordance with any applicable exchange control laws or regulations including, but not limited to, the restrictions set forth in this Country Appendix for China below under “Exchange Control Restrictions.” 

Exchange Control Restrictions  

By accepting the Restricted Stock Units, Participant understands and agrees that, due to PRC exchange control restrictions, Participant is not permitted to transfer any Stock acquired under the Plan out of Participant’s account established with the Designated Broker, and that Participant will be required to repatriate all proceeds from the sale of Stock due to Participant under the Plan to the PRC, including any proceeds from the sale of Stock acquired under the Plan.

Further, Participant understands that such repatriation will need to be effected through a special exchange control account established by Prologis, the Employer, or a Related Company in the PRC, and Participant hereby consents and agrees that the proceeds may be transferred to such special account prior to being delivered to Participant.  The proceeds may be paid to Participant in U.S. dollars or in local currency, at Prologis’ discretion.  If the proceeds are paid in U.S. dollars, Participant understands that he or she will be required to set up a U.S. dollar bank account in the PRC so that the proceeds may be deposited into this account.  If the proceeds are paid in local currency, Participant acknowledges that neither Prologis nor any Related Company is under an obligation to secure any particular currency conversion rate and that Prologis (or a Related Company) may face delays in converting the proceeds to local currency due to exchange control requirements in the PRC.  Participant agrees to bear any currency fluctuation risk between the time the shares of Stock are sold and the time the proceeds are converted into local currency and distributed to Participant.  Participant further agrees to comply with any other requirements that may be imposed by Prologis in the future to facilitate compliance with PRC exchange control requirements.

Data Privacy 

This provision replaces paragraph 15 of the Award Agreement (“Data Privacy Consent”): 

Participant understands that the Employer, Prologis and any Related Company may hold certain personal information about Participant, including, but not limited to, Participant’s name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any Stock or directorships held in Prologis or any Related Company, details of all Restricted Stock Units, or any other entitlement to Stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Participant’s favor (“Data”) and will process such Data in compliance with applicable laws and regulations for the exclusive purpose of implementing, managing and administering Participant’s participation in the Plan. 

Participant understands that providing Prologis with Data is mandatory for compliance with local law and necessary for the performance of the Plan and that Participant’s refusal to provide such Data would make it impossible for Prologis to perform its contractual obligations under the Plan.  Participant acknowledges and agrees that this consent is being provided on a purely voluntary basis and that if Participant does not consent, or if Participant later seeks to revoke this consent, Participant’s employment status or service and career with the Employer will not be adversely affected; the only adverse consequence of refusing or withdrawing Participant’s consent is that Prologis would not be able to grant Participant Restricted Stock units or other equity awards or administer or maintain such awards.  Therefore, Participant understands that refusing or withdrawing this consent may affect Participant’s ability to participate in the Plan.  

Participant understands that the Controller of personal data processing is Prologis, Inc., with its principal operational offices at 4545 Airport Way, Denver, Colorado 80239, U.S.A., and, pursuant to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, its Representative in Italy for privacy purposes is ProLogis Italy Management S.r.l., with its registered offices at Via Milano 150, Cologno Monzese MI, Italy. 

Participant understands that Participant’s Data will not be publicized, but it may be transferred to banks, other financial institutions or brokers involved in the management and administration of the Plan.  Participant further understands that Prologis and its Related Companies will transfer Data amongst themselves as necessary for the purpose of implementation, administration and management of Participant’s participation in the Plan, and that Prologis and/or its Related Companies may each further transfer Data to third parties assisting Prologis in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, including any requisite transfer to a broker or another third party with whom Participant may elect to deposit any Stock acquired under the Plan.  Such recipients may receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Participant’s participation in the Plan.  Participant understands that these recipients may be located in the European Economic Area, or elsewhere, such as the U.S.  Should Prologis exercise its discretion in suspending all necessary legal 

- Appendix 3 -

 

obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan, it will delete Participant’s Data as soon as it has accomplished all the necessary legal obligations connected with the management and administration of the Plan.

Participant understands that Data processing related to the purposes specified above shall take place under automated or non-automated conditions, anonymously when possible, that comply with the purposes for which Data are collected and with confidentiality and security provisions as set forth by applicable laws and regulations, with specific reference to Legislative Decree no. 196/2003.  The processing activity, including communication, the transfer of Participant’s Data abroad, including outside of the European Economic Area, as herein specified and pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, does not require Participant’s consent thereto as the processing is necessary to performance of contractual obligations related to implementation, administration and management of the Plan.  Participant understands that, pursuant to Section 7 of the Legislative Decree no. 196/2003, Participant has the right to, including but not limited to, access, delete, update, ask for rectification of Participant’s Data and cease, for legitimate reason, the Data processing.  Furthermore, Participant is aware that Participant’s Data will not be used for direct marketing purposes.  In addition, Participant understands that the Data provided may be reviewed by Participant at any time and that any questions or complaints with respect to the matters described herein may be addressed by contacting Participant’s local human resources representative.

(2)The Plan and Participant’s participation in it are offered by Prologis on a wholly discretionary basis;

(3)Participant’s participation in the Plan is voluntary; and

Labor Law Policy and Acknowledgment

This provision supplements paragraph 12 of the Award Agreement (“Nature of Award”):

In accepting the Award of Restricted Stock Units, Participant expressly recognizes that Prologis with its principal operating offices at 4545 Airport Way, Denver, Colorado 80239, U.S.A., is solely responsible for the administration of the Plan and that 

- Appendix 4 -

 

Participant’s participation in the Plan and acquisition of Stock do not constitute an employment relationship between Participant and Prologis since Participant is participating in the Plan on a wholly commercial basis and his or her sole Employer is Servicios Corporativos GC, S.A. de C.V.  Based on the foregoing, Participant expressly recognizes that the Plan and the benefits that he or she may derive from participating in the Plan do not establish any rights between Participant and the Employer and do not form part of the employment conditions and/or benefits provided by the Employer and any modification of the Plan or its termination shall not constitute a change or impairment of the terms and conditions of Participant’s employment.

Participant further understands that his or her participation in the Plan is as a result of a unilateral and discretionary decision of Prologis; therefore, Prologis reserves the absolute right to amend and/or discontinue Participant’s participation at any time without any liability to Participant.

Finally, Participant hereby declares that he or she does not reserve to him- or herself any action or right to bring any claim against Prologis for any compensation or damages regarding any provision of the Plan or the benefits derived under the Plan, and Participant therefore grants a full and broad release to Prologis, and its affiliates, branches, representation offices, shareholders, trustees, directors, officers, employees, agents, or legal representatives with respect to any such claim that may arise.

Securities Law Information  

The grant of the Restricted Stock Units is being made pursuant to the “Qualifying Person” exemption” under section 273(1)(f) of the Securities and Futures Act (Chapter 289, 2006 Ed.) (“SFA”) under which it is exempt from the prospectus and registration requirements and is not made with a view to the underlying shares of Stock being subsequently offered for sale to any other party.  The Plan has not been lodged or registered as a prospectus with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.  Participant should note that the Restricted Stock Units are subject to section 257 of the SFA and that Participant will not be able to make any subsequent sale of any shares of Stock in Singapore, or any offer of such subsequent sale of shares of Stock in Singapore, unless such sale or offer is made (i) after 6 months from the Date of Grant or (ii) pursuant to the exemptions under Part XIII Division (1) Subdivision (4) (other than section 280) of the SFA. 

Chief Executive Officer and Director Notification

If Participant is the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), a director, associate director or shadow director of a Related Company in Singapore, the Singapore Companies Act requires Participant to notify such Related Company in Singapore in writing of any interest (e.g., Restricted Stock Units, Stock, etc.) that Participant holds in Prologis (or any Related Company) within two business days of (i) acquiring or disposing of such interest, (ii) any change in a previously-disclosed interest (e.g., upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units or sale of shares of Stock), or (iii) becoming the CEO or a director, if Participant holds such an interest at that time.

SPAIN

Labor Law Acknowledgement

This provision supplements paragraph 12 of the Award Agreement (“Nature of Award”):

In accepting the Award of Restricted Stock Units, Participant consents to participation in the Plan and has received a copy of the Plan.  Participant understands that Prologis has unilaterally, gratuitously and in its sole discretion decided to make an Award of Restricted Stock Units under the Plan to individuals who may be employees of Prologis or its Related Companies throughout the world.  This decision is a limited decision that is entered into upon the express assumption and condition that any Award will not economically or otherwise bind Prologis or any of its Related Companies on an ongoing basis except as provided in the Award Agreement and Plan.  Consequently, Participant understands that the Award of Restricted Stock Units is made on the assumption and condition that the Restricted Stock Units, any Dividend Equivalent Payments and any Stock issuable upon vesting of the Restricted Stock Units (i) shall not become a part of any employment contract (either with Prologis or any of its Related Companies), (ii) shall not be considered a mandatory benefit, right or entitlement for any purpose, and (iii) shall not be considered salary, wages or compensation for any purpose (including calculating severance compensation).  Participant understands that the Award of Restricted Stock Units would not be made to Participant but for the assumptions and conditions referred to above; thus, Participant acknowledges and freely accepts that should any or all of the assumptions be mistaken or should any of the conditions not be met for any reason, then any Award made to Participant under the Plan shall be null and void.

- Appendix 6 -

 

Further, the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units and/or Dividend Equivalent Units is expressly conditioned on Participant’s continued and active rendering of service to Prologis or a Related Company, such that if Participant’s service terminates for any reason (other than death or Disability), the Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units may cease vesting immediately, in whole or in part, effective on Participant’s Termination Date (unless otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or the Award Agreement).  This will be the case, for example, even if (1) Participant is considered to be unfairly dismissed without good cause; (2) Participant is dismissed for disciplinary or objective reasons or due to a collective dismissal; (3) Participant terminates employment or service due to a change of work location, duties or any other employment or contractual condition; (4) Participant terminates employment or service due to a unilateral breach of contract by Prologis or a Related Company; or (5) Participant’s service terminates for any other reason whatsoever.  Consequently, upon termination of Participant’s employment or service for any of the above reasons, Participant may automatically lose any rights to Restricted Stock Units and Dividend Equivalent Units that were not vested on Participant’s Termination Date, as described in the Plan and the Award Agreement.

Participant acknowledges that he or she has read and specifically accepts the conditions referred to in paragraph 2 and paragraph 3 of the Award Agreement.

Securities Law Notice

No “offer of securities to the public,” as defined under Spanish law, has taken place or will take place in the Spanish territory in connection with the Award of the Restricted Stock Units.  Further, none of the materials distributed to Participant in connection with the Award of Restricted Stock Units, including the Plan document and the Award Agreement (i) have been, or will be, registered with the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores, and (ii) do not constitute a public offering prospectus.   

SWEDEN

UNITED KINGDOM

Tax Acknowledgment

This provision supplements paragraph 6 of the Award Agreement (“Withholding of Taxes”):

If payment or withholding of income tax due by Participant in connection with the Restricted Stock Units is not made within 90 days of the end of the U.K. tax year in which the event giving rise to the income tax occurs or such other period specified in Section 222(1)(c) of the U.K. Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003 (the “Due Date”), Participant agrees that the amount of any uncollected income tax shall (assuming Participant is not a director or executive officer of Prologis (within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act)), constitute a loan owed by Participant to the Employer, effective on the Due Date.  Participant agrees that the loan (i) will bear interest at the then-current Official Rate of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”), (ii) will be immediately due and repayable, and (iii) may be recovered by Prologis and/or the Employer any time by any of the means referred to in paragraph 6 of the Award Agreement.  

If Participant is a director or executive officer of Prologis (as described above) and such income tax is not collected from or paid by Participant by the Due Date, the amount of such uncollected income tax may constitute an additional benefit to Participant on which additional income tax and National Insurance contributions (“NICs”) may be payable.  Participant will be responsible for reporting any income tax and NICs due on this additional benefit directly to HMRC under the self-assessment regime and for reimbursing Prologis and/or the Employer for the value of any employee NICs due on this additional benefit, which Prologis and/or the Employer may recover at any time thereafter by any of the means referred to in paragraph 6 of the Award Agreement.    

In addition, Participant agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may calculate the income tax to be withheld and accounted for by reference to the maximum applicable rates, without prejudice to any right Participant may have to recover any overpayment from HMRC.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

I.    PURPOSE OF THE PLAN
This Amended and Restated 2009 Incentive Compensation Plan is intended to promote the business success and interests of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation, a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s service with the opportunity to participate in one or more cash or equity incentive compensation programs designed to encourage them to continue their service relationship with the Corporation and to contribute to the Corporation’s growth and long-term success.

Capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached Appendix.
II.    STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN
A.    The Plan shall be divided into three separate incentive compensation programs:
-    the Discretionary Grant Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock or stock appreciation rights tied to the value of such Common Stock,
-    the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock pursuant to restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares or other stock-based awards which vest upon the completion of a designated service period and/or the attainment of pre-established performance milestones, or such shares of Common Stock may be issued through direct purchase or as a bonus for services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary), and
-    the Incentive Bonus Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be provided with bonus opportunities through performance unit awards and other special cash incentive programs tied to the attainment of pre-established performance milestones.
B.    The provisions of Articles One and Five shall apply to all incentive compensation programs under the Plan and shall govern the interests of all persons under the Plan.

		
	III.
	ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

A.    The Compensation Committee shall have sole and exclusive authority to administer the Plan with respect to Section 16 Insiders.  Administration of the Plan with respect to all other persons eligible to participate in the Plan may, at the Board’s discretion, be vested in the Compensation Committee or a Secondary Board Committee, or the Board may retain the power to administer those programs with respect to all such persons.  In addition, administration of the Plan may, at the Board’s discretion, be vested in a Special Award Committee with authority to administer the Plan with respect to employees other than Section 16 Insiders and members of such Special Award Committee and to make Awards to such individuals under the Plan subject to such limitations and other terms and conditions as the Board shall specify from time to time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,

any Awards for one or more members of the Compensation Committee (other than ad hoc or formulaic Awards made to all or substantially all of the non-employee Board members on substantially the same basis) must be authorized by a disinterested majority of the non-employee Board members.  
B.    Members of the Compensation Committee or any Secondary Board Committee or Special Award Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and may be removed by the Board at any time.  The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of any Secondary Board Committee or Special Award Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to such committee.
C.    Each Plan Administrator shall, within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan, have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the provisions of the Plan and any outstanding Awards thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable.  Decisions of the Plan Administrator within the scope of its administrative functions under the Plan shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan under its jurisdiction or any Award thereunder.
D.    Service as a Plan Administrator by the members of the Compensation Committee or the Secondary Board Committee shall constitute service as Board members, and the members of each such committee shall accordingly be entitled to full indemnification and reimbursement as Board members for their service on such committee.  No member of the Compensation Committee, the Special Award Committee or the Secondary Board Committee shall be liable for any act or omission made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award thereunder.

The Plan shall serve as the successor to the Predecessor Plans, and no further stock option grants or other awards shall be made under the Predecessor Plans on or after the Plan Effective Date.  However, all option grants and unvested share awards outstanding under the Predecessor Plans on the Plan Effective Date shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and no provision of this Plan shall be deemed to affect or otherwise modify the rights or obligations of the holders of those awards with respect to their acquisition of shares of Common Stock thereunder.  

A-2

B.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, for each share of Common Stock issued without cash consideration pursuant to the Stock Issuance or the Incentive Bonus Program, the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by 1.55 shares of Common Stock. 
C.    The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Options granted under the Plan shall be limited to Forty-Eight Million (48,000,000) shares, subject to periodic adjustment in accordance with Section V.G. of this Article One.
D.    Each person participating in the Plan shall be subject the following limitations:
-    for Awards to Employees, consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) denominated in shares of Common Stock at the time of grant (whether subsequently payable in cash or Common Stock, or a combination of both), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which such Awards may be made to such person in any calendar year shall not exceed Five Million (5,000,000) shares of Common Stock in the aggregate, and
-    for Awards denominated in dollars at the time of grant (whether subsequently payable in cash or Common Stock, or a combination of both), the maximum dollar amount for which such Awards may be made to such person in any calendar year shall not exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000),
-    for Awards to non-employee members of the Board or the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary denominated in shares of Common Stock at the time of grant (whether subsequently payable in cash or Common Stock, or a combination of both), the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for which such Awards may be made to such person in any calendar year shall not exceed One Hundred Thousand (100,000) shares of Common Stock in the aggregate.
E.    Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding Awards made under the Plan shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the extent those Awards expire or terminate for any reason prior to the issuance of the shares of Common Stock subject to those Awards.  Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently forfeited or repurchased by the Corporation, at a price per share not greater than the original issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for subsequent reissuance.  
F.    Should the exercise price of an option under the Plan be paid with shares of Common Stock, then the authorized reserve of Common Stock under the Plan shall be reduced by the gross number of shares for which that option is exercised, and not by the net number of shares issued under the exercised stock option.  Upon the exercise of any stock appreciation right under the Plan, the share reserve shall be reduced by the gross number of shares as to which such right is exercised, and not by the net number of shares actually issued by the Corporation upon such exercise.  If shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under the Plan are withheld by the Corporation in satisfaction of the withholding taxes or other taxes incurred in connection with the issuance, vesting or exercise of an Award or the issuance of Common Stock thereunder (including, without limitation any fringe benefit or employer taxes permitted to be passed through to the employee under applicable law), then the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced on the basis of the gross number of shares issued, vested or exercised under such Award, calculated in each instance prior to any such share withholding. 
G.    Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, or should the value of outstanding shares of Common Stock be substantially reduced as a result of a spin-off transaction or an extraordinary dividend or distribution, or should there occur any merger, consolidation or other reorganization, then equitable adjustments shall be made by the Plan Administrator to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve will be reduced for each security issued without cash consideration under the Stock Issuance and Incentive Bonus Programs, (iii) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan pursuant to Incentive Options, (iv) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted Common Stock-denominated Awards under the Plan per calendar year, (v) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise or base price per share in effect under each outstanding Award under the Discretionary Grant Program, (vi) the number and/or class of securities subject to each outstanding Award under the Stock Issuance Program and the cash consideration (if any) payable per share, (vii) the number and/or class of securities subject to each outstanding Award under the Incentive Bonus Program denominated in shares of Common Stock and (viii) the number and/or class of securities subject to the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights under the Plan and the repurchase price payable per share.  The adjustments shall be made in such manner as the Plan Administrator deems appropriate and such adjustments shall 

A-3

be final, binding and conclusive. In the event of a Change in Control, however, the adjustments (if any) shall be made solely in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan governing Change in Control transactions.
H.    Outstanding Awards granted pursuant to the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

ARTICLE TWO

DISCRETIONARY GRANT PROGRAM
		
	I.
	OPTION TERMS

Each option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such Award Agreement shall comply with the terms specified below.  Each Award Agreement evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options.
A.    Exercise Price.
1.    The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that such exercise price shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the grant date.
2.    The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of the Award Agreement, be payable in one or more of the forms specified below:
(i)    cash or check made payable to the Corporation,
(ii)    shares of Common Stock (whether delivered in the form of actual stock certificates or through attestation of ownership) held for the requisite period (if any) necessary to avoid any resulting charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, 
(iii)    to the extent the option is exercised for vested shares of Common Stock, through a special sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide instructions to (a) a brokerage firm (reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation for purposes of administering such procedure in compliance with the Corporation’s pre-clearance/pre-notification policies) to effect the immediate sale of all or a portion of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable income and employment taxes and Foreign Taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason of such exercise and any employer taxes required to be paid by the Optionee under Section V.B, V.C or V.D of this Article II and (b) the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm on such settlement date in order to complete the sale, or 
(iv)    to the extent the option is at the time exercisable for vested shares of Common Stock, through the surrender to the Corporation of all or any part of that vested portion for an appreciation distribution payable in shares of Common Stock with a Fair Market Value at the time of such option surrender equal to the dollar amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the surrendered portion exceeds the aggregate exercise price payable for those shares of Common Stock, with any resulting fractional share to be rounded down to the next whole share.  
Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.
B.    Term and Exercisability of Options. 
1.    No option shall have a term in excess of seven (7) years measured from the option grant date.  Unless a shorter term is specified in the Award Agreement, each option under the Discretionary Grant Program shall have such a seven (7)-year maximum term.
2.    Unless otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement, each option shall vest and become exercisable for twenty-five percent (25%) of the option shares upon the Optionee’s completion of each year of Service over the four (4)-year period measured from the grant date.  In no event, however, shall such option be exercisable for fractional shares.

A-5

3.    The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretionary authority, consistent with Code Section 162(m), to structure one or more Awards under the Discretionary Grant Program so that those Awards shall vest and become exercisable only after the achievement of pre-established corporate performance objectives based on one or more Performance Goals and measured over the performance period specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of the Award
C.    Effect of Termination of Service.
1.    Unless otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement, the following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options granted to an Optionee pursuant to the Discretionary Grant Program that are outstanding at the time of his or her cessation of Service or death:
(i)    Should Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason (other than death, Permanent Disability, Misconduct or Cause) while an option is outstanding, then Optionee (or any person or persons to whom an option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer under Paragraph F below) shall have a three (3)-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise the option, but in no event shall the option be exercisable at any time after the expiration of the option term.
(ii)    Should Optionee die while his or her option is outstanding, then the option may be exercised by (i) the personal representative of Optionee’s estate or (ii) the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance following Optionee’s death or (iii) the person to whom the option is transferred during Optionee’s lifetime pursuant to a permitted transfer under Paragraph F below, as the case may be. However, if Optionee dies while holding an outstanding option under the Discretionary Grant Program and has an effective beneficiary designation in effect for that option at the time of his or her death, then the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries shall have the exclusive right to exercise the option following Optionee’s death.  Any such right to exercise the option shall lapse, and the option shall cease to be outstanding, upon the earlier of (i) the expiration of the twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of Optionee’s death and (ii) the expiration of the option term.
(iii)    Should Optionee cease Service by reason of Permanent Disability while his or her option is outstanding, then Optionee (or any person or persons to whom this option is transferred pursuant to a permitted transfer under Paragraph F below) shall have a twelve (12)-month period measured from the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise the option.  In no event shall the option be exercisable at any time after the expiration of the option term.
(iv)    The applicable period of post-Service exercisability in effect pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph C.1 shall automatically be extended by an additional period of time equal in duration to any interval within such post-Service exercise period during which the exercise of the option or the immediate sale of the underlying shares of Common Stock purchasable under that option cannot be effected in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, but in no event shall such an extension result in the extension of the option beyond the expiration of the maximum option term.
(v)    During the limited period of post-Service exercisability, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of shares of Common Stock for which such option is, at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service, vested and exercisable pursuant to the vesting provisions of Paragraph B.2 above or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Section IV.A of this Article Two.  The option shall not vest or become exercisable for any additional underlying shares of Common Stock, whether pursuant to the normal vesting provisions of Paragraph B.2 above or the special vesting acceleration provisions of Section IV.A of this Article Two, following Optionee’s cessation of Service, except to the extent (if any) specifically authorized by the Plan Administrator pursuant to an express written agreement with Optionee.  Upon the expiration of such limited exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any exercisable shares of Common Stock for which the option has not otherwise been exercised.
(vi)    Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or Cause or should Optionee otherwise engage in any Misconduct or other act or omission constituting grounds for termination for Cause while his or her option is outstanding, then such option, whether vested or unvested at the time, shall terminate immediately and cease to remain outstanding.

A-6

2.    The Plan Administrator shall have complete discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to:
(i)    extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following Optionee’s cessation of Service from the limited exercise period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or
(ii)    permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of Optionee’s cessation of Service but also with respect to one or more additional shares in which Optionee would have vested had Optionee continued in Service.
D.    Stockholder Rights.  The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become a holder of record of the purchased shares.

E.    Repurchase Rights.  The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock.  Should the Optionee cease Service while such shares are unvested, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase any or all of those unvested shares at a price per share equal to the lower of (i) the exercise price paid per share or (ii) the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock at the time of repurchase.  The terms upon which such repurchase right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right.

F.    Transferability of Options. The transferability of options granted under the Plan shall be governed by the following provisions:
(i)    Incentive Options:   During the lifetime of the Optionee, Incentive Options shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of inheritance following the Optionee’s death.
(ii)    Non-Statutory Options.  Non-Statutory Options shall be subject to the same limitation on transfer as Incentive Options.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise set forth in the Award Agreement, a Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s lifetime, by gratuitous transfer to a revocable living trust established for the exclusive benefit of Optionee or Optionee and his or her spouse (the “Trust”) or pursuant to a domestic relations order to Optionee’s former spouse in settlement of their marital property rights (the “Spouse Transferee”). The assigned portion may only be exercised by the Trust or the Spouse Transferee acquiring the proprietary interest in the option pursuant to the assignment.  The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.
(iii)    Beneficiary Designations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Optionee may designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under this Article Two (whether Incentive Options or Non-Statutory Options), and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options.  Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death.
		
	II.
	INCENTIVE OPTIONS

The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options.  Except as modified by the provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of Articles One, Two and Six shall be applicable to Incentive Options.  Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options when issued under the Plan shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II.
A.    Eligibility.  Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees.
B.    Dollar Limitation.  The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option 

A-7

plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, then for purposes of the foregoing limitations on the exercisability of those options as Incentive Options, such options shall be deemed to become first exercisable in that calendar year on the basis of the chronological order in which they were granted, except to the extent otherwise provided under applicable law or regulation.

C.    10% Stockholder.  If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date, and the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant date.
		
	III.
	STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

A.    Authority.  The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to grant stock appreciation rights in accordance with this Section III to selected Optionees or other individuals eligible to receive option grants under the Discretionary Grant Program.

B.    Types.  Two types of stock appreciation rights shall be authorized for issuance under this Section III: (i) tandem stock appreciation rights (“Tandem Rights”) and (ii) Stand-Alone stock appreciation rights (“Stand-Alone Rights”).

C.    Tandem Rights.  The following terms and conditions shall govern the grant and exercise of Tandem Rights.
1.    One or more Optionees may be granted a Tandem Right, exercisable upon such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may establish, to elect between the exercise of the underlying option for shares of Common Stock or the surrender of that option in exchange for a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value (on the option surrender date) of the number of shares in which the Optionee is at the time vested under the surrendered option (or surrendered portion thereof) over (ii) the aggregate exercise price payable for such vested shares.
2.    Any distribution to which the Optionee becomes entitled upon the exercise of a Tandem Right may be made in (i) shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the option surrender date, (ii) cash or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of  Common Stock, as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement, the distribution shall be made in shares of Common Stock.
D.    Stand-Alone Rights.  The following terms and conditions shall govern the grant and exercise of Stand-Alone Rights:
1.    One or more individuals eligible to participate in the Discretionary Grant Program may be granted a Stand-Alone Right not tied to any underlying option under this Discretionary Grant Program.  The Stand-Alone Right shall relate to a specified number of shares of Common Stock and shall be exercisable upon such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may establish.  In no event, however, may the Stand-Alone Right have a maximum term in excess of seven (7) years measured from the grant date.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the provisions of Paragraphs B.1 and B.2 of Section I of this Article Two shall govern the term and exercisability of each Stand-Alone Right awarded under the Plan.
2.    Upon exercise of the Stand-Alone Right, the holder shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the Corporation in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the exercise date) of the shares of Common Stock underlying the exercised right over (ii) the aggregate base price in effect for those shares.  
3.    The number of shares of Common Stock underlying each Stand-Alone Right and the base price in effect for those shares shall be determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion at the time the Stand-Alone Right is granted.  In no event, however, may the base price per share be less than the Fair Market Value per underlying share of Common Stock on the grant date.  
4.    Stand-Alone Rights shall be subject to the same transferability restrictions applicable to Non-Statutory Options under Section I.F of this Article Two. In addition, one or more beneficiaries may be designated for an outstanding Stand-Alone Right in accordance with substantially the same terms and provisions as set forth in Section I.F of this Article Two.

A-8

5.    The distribution with respect to an exercised Stand-Alone Right may be made in (i) shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date, (ii) cash or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement, the distribution shall be made in shares of Common Stock.
6.    The holder of a Stand-Alone Right shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the Stand-Alone Right unless and until such person shall have exercised the Stand-Alone Right and become a holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of such Stand-Alone Right.
E.    Post-Service Exercise.  The provisions governing the exercise of Tandem and Stand-Alone Rights following the cessation of the recipient’s Service shall be the same as those set forth in Section I.C of this Article Two for the options granted under the Discretionary Grant Program, and the Plan Administrator’s discretionary authority under Section I.C.2 of this Article Two shall also extend to any outstanding Tandem or Stand-Alone Appreciation Rights.
		
	IV.
	CHANGE IN CONTROL

A.    In the event of an actual Change in Control transaction, each Award outstanding at that time under the Discretionary Grant Program but not otherwise fully vested and exercisable shall automatically accelerate and become exercisable immediately prior to the effective date of that Change in Control as to all of the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to such Award, unless (i) such Award is to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or is otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such Award is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing at the time on the Change in Control on any shares as to which the Award is not otherwise at that time vested and exercisable and provides for the subsequent vesting and payout of that spread in accordance with the same  exercise/vesting schedule in effect for that Award or (iii) the acceleration of such Award is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator.
B.    All outstanding repurchase rights under the Discretionary Grant Program shall automatically terminate, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, immediately prior to the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are to be assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or are otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator.
C.    Immediately following the consummation of the Change in Control, all outstanding Awards under the Discretionary Grant Program shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or otherwise continued in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.
D.    Each Award under the Discretionary Grant Program which is assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities into which the shares of Common Stock subject to that Award would have been converted in consummation of such Change in Control had those shares actually been outstanding at that time.  Equitable adjustments to reflect such Change in Control shall also be made to (i) the exercise or base price per share in effect under each such assumed Award under the Discretionary Grant Program, provided the aggregate exercise or base price in effect for such securities shall remain the same, (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities available for issuance over the remaining term of the Plan, (iii) the number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve will be reduced for each security issued without cash consideration under the Stock Issuance and Incentive Bonus Programs, (iv) the maximum number and/or class of securities which may be issued pursuant to Incentive Options granted under the Plan, (v) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted Common Stock-denominated Awards under the Plan per calendar year, (vi) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise or base price per share in effect under each outstanding Award under the Discretionary Grant Program, (vii) the number and/or class of securities subject to each outstanding Award under the Stock Issuance Program and the cash consideration (if any) payable per share, (viii) the number and/or class of securities subject to each outstanding Award under the Incentive Bonus Program denominated in shares of Common Stock and (ix) the number and/or class of securities subject to the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights under the Plan and the repurchase price payable per share. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of the outstanding Awards under the Discretionary Grant Program and subject to the Plan Administrator’s approval, substitute, for the securities underlying those assumed rights, one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control transaction, provided such common stock is readily traded on an established U.S. securities exchange.

A-9

E.    The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more outstanding Awards under the Discretionary Grant Program so that those Awards shall, immediately prior to the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction, vest and become exercisable as to all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those Awards and may be exercised as to any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock, whether or not those Awards are to be assumed in the Change in Control transaction or otherwise continued in effect.  In addition, the Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Discretionary Grant Program so that those rights shall terminate immediately prior to the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction, and the shares subject to those terminated rights shall thereupon vest in full.
F.    The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority to structure one or more outstanding Awards under the Discretionary Grant Program so that those Awards shall vest and become exercisable as to all the shares of Common Stock at the time subject to those Awards in the event the Optionee’s Service is subsequently terminated by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period following the effective date of any Change in Control transaction in which those Awards do not otherwise fully accelerate.  In addition, the Plan Administrator may structure one or more of the Corporation’s repurchase rights so that those rights shall immediately terminate with respect to any shares held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary Termination, and the shares subject to those terminated repurchase rights shall accordingly vest in full at that time. 
G.    The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Change in Control shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded.  To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-statutory Option under the Federal tax laws.
		
	V.
	TAX WITHHOLDING

A.    The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or make a cash payment in connection with the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of any Award under this Discretionary Grant Program shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable income and employment taxes and Foreign Tax withholding requirements, any employer taxes passed through to the Optionee under Section V.B, V.C or V.D of this Article II and any other taxes required to be collected at the time of the grant, exercise, vesting or settlement of such Award.  Accordingly, no shares shall be issued or cash payment made with respect to an outstanding Award under this Discretionary Grant Program until all such taxes have been collected.
B.    Any Optionee  who is subject to taxation in India shall be required to pay any fringe benefits or other tax payable by the Corporation (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing such Optionee) as a result of or with respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of an Award under the Discretionary Grant Program or the issuance of shares of Common Stock thereunder (the “Employer Option Taxes”).  Optionee must pay such Employer Option Taxes at such times and in such form as determined by the Corporation (or such Parent or Subsidiary).
C.    Any Optionee who is subject to taxation in the United Kingdom may, in the Corporation’s sole discretion, be required to pay all secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions which may otherwise be payable by the Corporation (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing such Optionee) arising in connection with the grant, vesting or exercise of an Award under the Discretionary Grant Program or the issuance of shares of Common Stock thereunder (the “Employer Option NIC”). If so required by the Corporation, the Optionee must pay such Employer Option NIC at such times and in such form as determined by the Corporation (or such Parent or Subsidiary).
     D.     Any Optionee subject to taxation in any jurisdiction shall pay any taxes or other amounts required to be paid by the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing such Options) with respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of an Award under this Discretionary Grant Program or the issuance of shares of Common Stock thereunder, to the extent those taxes or other amounts are permitted to be passed through to the Optionee under applicable law. The Optionee must pay any such taxes or other amounts at such times and in such form as determined by the Corporation.
E.    The Optionee shall enter into such additional agreements as may be required by the Corporation (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing Optionee) to effect the transfer of the Employer Option Taxes, Employer Option NIC and any other taxes or payments from the Corporation (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing Optionee) to the Optionee.
		
	VI.
	PROHIBITION ON REPRICING PROGRAMS

The Plan Administrator shall not (i) implement any cancellation/regrant program pursuant to which outstanding options or stock appreciation rights under the Plan are cancelled and new options or stock appreciation rights are granted in replacement with a lower exercise price per share, (ii) cancel outstanding options or stock appreciation rights under the Plan with exercise prices per share in excess of the then current Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock for consideration payable in 

A-10

cash or equity securities of the Corporation or (iii) otherwise directly reduce the exercise price in effect for outstanding options or stock appreciation rights under the Plan, without in each such instance obtaining stockholder approval.

A-11

ARTICLE THREE

STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM

		
	I.
	STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program, either as vested or unvested shares, through direct and immediate issuances.  Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to performance shares or restricted stock units which entitle the recipients to receive the shares underlying those Awards upon the attainment of designated Performance Goals or the satisfaction of specified Service requirements or upon the expiration of a designated time period following the vesting of those Awards.  Each Award under the Stock Issuance Program shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such Award Agreement shall comply with the terms specified below.
A.    Issue Price/Consideration.
1.    Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance:
(i)    cash or check made payable to the Corporation,
(ii)    past services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary); or
(iii)    any other valid consideration under the State in which the Corporation is at the time incorporated.
2.    However, for shares of Common Stock to be issued for cash consideration, the cash consideration payable per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the Award, but in no event shall such cash consideration be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Award date.
B.    Vesting Provisions.
1.    Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately vested upon issuance as a bonus for Service rendered or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period of Service and/or upon the attainment of specified performance objectives.  The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to any unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the Award Agreement.  Shares of Common Stock may also be issued under the Stock Issuance Program pursuant to performance shares or restricted stock units which entitle the recipients to receive the shares underlying those Awards upon the attainment of designated performance goals and/or the satisfaction of specified Service requirements or upon the expiration of a designated time period following the vesting of those Awards, including (without limitation) a deferred distribution date on or after termination of the Participant’s Service, or upon the occurrence of such other dates or events as determined by the Plan Administrator, subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following limitations shall apply with respect to the vesting schedules established for the Awards made under the Stock Issuance Program, subject to the acceleration provisions of Paragraphs B.7 and B.8 below and Section II of this Article Three:
(i)    for any such Award which is to vest on the basis of Service, the minimum vesting period shall be three (3) years, with such vesting to occur in one or more installments over that period as determined by  the Plan Administrator, but in no event more favorably than monthly; and
(ii)     for any such Award which is to vest on the basis of performance objectives, the performance period shall have a duration of at least one year.
2.    The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretionary authority, consistent with Code Section 162(m), to structure one or more Awards under the Stock Issuance Program so that the shares of Common Stock subject to those Awards shall vest (or vest and become issuable) upon the achievement of pre-established performance objectives based on one or more Performance Goals and measured over the performance period specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of the Award.

A-12

3.    The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested.  Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any dividends paid on such shares, subject to any applicable vesting requirements.  The Participant shall not have any stockholder rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to a performance share or restricted stock unit Award until that Award vests and the shares of Common Stock are actually issued thereunder.  However, dividend-equivalent units may be paid or credited, either in cash or in actual or phantom shares of Common Stock, on outstanding performance share or restricted stock unit Awards, subject to such terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate.
4.    Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction, extraordinary dividend or distribution or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate.  Equitable adjustments to reflect each such transaction shall also be made by the Plan Administrator to the repurchase price payable per share by the Corporation for any unvested securities subject to its existing repurchase rights under the Plan; provided the aggregate repurchase price shall in each instance remain the same.
5.    Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares.  To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent, the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the lower of (i) the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares or (ii) the Fair Market Value of those shares at the time of cancellation.
6.    The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock which would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant’s Service or the non-attainment of the performance objectives applicable to those shares.  Any such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies.  Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives.  However, no vesting requirements tied to the attainment of performance objectives may be waived with respect to shares which were intended at the time of issuance to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), except as otherwise provided in Section II of this Article Three.
7.    Outstanding performance shares or restricted stock units under the Stock Issuance Program shall automatically terminate, and no shares of Common Stock shall actually be issued in satisfaction of those Awards, if the performance goals or Service requirements established for those Awards are not attained or satisfied.  The Plan Administrator, however, shall have the discretionary authority to issue vested shares of Common Stock under one or more outstanding Awards of performance shares or restricted stock units as to which the designated performance goals or Service requirements have not been attained or satisfied.  However, no vesting requirements tied to the attainment of performance goals may be waived with respect to Awards which were intended, at the time those Awards were made, to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), except as otherwise provided in Section II of this Article Three. 
8.    The following additional requirements shall be in effect for any performance shares awarded under this Article Three:
(i)    At the end of the performance period, the Plan Administrator shall determine and confirm the actual level of attainment for each performance objective and the extent to which the performance shares awarded for that period are to vest and become payable based on the attained performance levels. 
(ii)    The performance shares which so vest shall be paid as soon as practicable following the end of the performance period, unless such payment is to be deferred for the period specified by the Plan Administrator at the time the performance shares are initially awarded or the period designated by the Participant pursuant to a timely deferral election in accordance with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A. 

A-13

(iii)    Performance shares may be paid in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock or (iii) any combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Award Agreement, the distribution shall be made in shares of Common Stock.
(iv)    Performance shares may also be structured so that the shares are convertible into shares of Common Stock, but the rate at which each performance share is to so convert shall be based on the attained level of performance for each applicable performance objective.
		
	II.
	CHANGE IN CONTROL

A.    Each outstanding Award under the Stock Issuance Program may be assumed in connection with a Change in Control or otherwise continued in effect.  Each Award so assumed or continued in effect shall be adjusted immediately after the consummation of that Change in Control so as to apply to the number and class of securities into which the shares of Common Stock subject to that Award immediately prior to the Change in Control would have been converted in consummation of such Change in Control had those shares actually been outstanding at that time, and appropriate adjustments shall also be made to the cash consideration (if any) payable per share thereunder, provided the aggregate consideration shall remain the same.  To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Change in Control, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption or continuation of the outstanding Awards and subject to the Plan Administrator’s approval, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common Stock in such Change in Control transaction, provided such common stock is readily traded on an established U.S. securities exchange.
B.    If an Award under the Stock Issuance Program is not assumed or otherwise continued in effect or replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Common Stock at the time of the Change in Control and provides for the subsequent vesting and payout of that value in accordance with the same vesting and issuance schedule in effect for those shares at the time of such Change in Control, then such Award shall vest, and the shares of Common Stock subject to that Award shall be issued as fully-vested shares, immediately prior to the effective date of the Change in Control or at such other time as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement.
C.    The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more unvested Awards under the Stock Issuance Program so that the shares of Common Stock subject to those Awards shall automatically vest (or vest and become issuable) in whole or in part on the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction or upon the subsequent termination of the Participant’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period following the effective date of that Change in Control transaction.
D.    The Plan Administrator’s authority under Paragraph C of this Section II shall also extend to any Awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), even though the automatic vesting of those Awards may result in their loss of performance-based status under Code Section 162(m).
E.    All of the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and all the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall vest in full, immediately prior to the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction, except to the extent (i) the Awards to which those repurchase rights are to be assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) or are otherwise to continue in full force and effect pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, (ii)  those Awards are to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves, for each such Award, the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares of Common Stock at the time of the Change in Control and provides for the subsequent vesting and payout of that value in accordance with the same vesting schedule in effect for those shares at the time of such Change in Control or (iii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed in the Stock Issuance Agreement.
		
	III.
	COLLECTION OF WITHHOLDING TAXES

A.    The Corporation (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing Participant)  shall collect the employee portion of the U.S. FICA taxes (Social Security and Medicare) with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to an Award issued under this Stock Issuance Program at the time those shares vest. Such taxes shall be based on the Fair Market Value of such shares on their vesting date.  The Corporation (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing Participant) shall also collect the employee portion of the FICA taxes with respect to any dividend equivalents payable pursuant to the Award at the time those dividend equivalents vest. Such taxes shall be based on the cash amount and the fair market value of any other property underlying the dividend equivalents on the vesting date. Unless the Participant delivers a separate check payable to the Corporation in the amount of the 

A-14

FICA taxes required to be withheld from the Participant, the Corporation shall withhold those taxes from the Participant’s wages. However, if the Participant is at the time an executive officer of the Corporation, then such withholding taxes must be collected from the Participant through delivery of his or her separate check not later than the vesting date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any shares of Common Stock to be issued immediately upon vesting or for any divided equivalents to be paid immediately upon vesting, the employee portion of the applicable FICA taxes shall be collected in the same manner as the federal, state and local income taxes are to be withheld under Section III.B below.  The foregoing tax collection provisions shall also be applicable to the employee portion of any Foreign Taxes that become due and payable upon the vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to an Award issued under this Stock Issuance Program. 
B.    The Corporation shall collect the U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and/or all applicable Foreign Taxes required to be withheld with respect to the distribution of the phantom dividend equivalents to the Participant by withholding a portion of that distribution equal to the amount of those taxes, with the cash portion of the distribution to be the first portion so withheld.  
C.    Until such time as the Corporation provides the Participant with written or electronic notice to the contrary, the Corporation shall collect the U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and/or all applicable Foreign Taxes required to be withheld with respect to the issuance of the vested shares of Common Stock subject to the Award outstanding under this Stock Issuance Program through an automatic share withholding procedure pursuant to which the Corporation will withhold, at the time of such issuance, the number of shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the issuance date) equal to the amount of those taxes (the “Share Withholding Method”); provided, however, that the amount of any shares so withheld shall not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Corporation‘s required tax withholding obligations using the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax purposes that are applicable to supplemental taxable income. Participant shall be notified in writing or electronically in the event such Share Withholding Method is no longer available.
D.    Should any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award be distributed at time the Share Withholding Method is not available, then the U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and/or all applicable Foreign Taxes required to be withheld with respect to those shares shall be collected from the Participant through either of the following alternatives:
(i)    the Participant’s delivery of his or her separate check payable to the Corporation in the amount of such taxes, or
(ii)    the use of the proceeds from a next-day sale of the shares issued to the Participant, provided and only if (i) such a sale is permissible under the Corporation’s insider trading policies governing the sale of Common Stock, (ii) the Participant makes an irrevocable commitment, on or before the issuance of the vested shares, to effect such sale of the shares and (iii) the transaction is not otherwise deemed to constitute a prohibited loan under Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
E.    Any Participant who is subject to taxation in India shall be required to pay any fringe benefit or other tax payable by the Corporation (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing such Participant) as a result of or with respect to the grant, vesting or settlement of an Award under this Stock Issuance Program or the issuance of shares of Common Stock thereunder (the “Employer Issuance Taxes”)  Until such time as the Corporation provides the Participant with written or electronic notice to the  contrary, the  Employer Issuance Taxes shall be collected through the Share Withholding Method.
F.    Any Participant who is subject to taxation in the United Kingdom may, in the Corporation’s sole discretion, be required to pay all secondary Class 1 National Insurance Contributions which may otherwise be payable by the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining or previously employing or retaining the Participant) arising in connection with the Award or the issuance of shares of Common Stock thereunder (the “Employer Issuance NIC”). If so required by the Corporation, and until such time as the Corporation provides the Participant with written or electronic notice to the contrary, the Employer Issuance NIC shall be collected through the Share Withholding Method.
G.    Any Participant subject to taxation in any jurisdiction shall pay any taxes or other amounts that are required by the laws of that jurisdiction to be paid by the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing such Participant) with respect to the grant, vesting or settlement of an Award under this Stock Issuance Program or the issuance of shares of Common Stock thereunder, to the extent those taxes or other amounts are permitted to be passed through to the Participant under applicable law.  Until such time as the Corporation provides the Participant with written or electronic notice to the contrary, such taxes or other amounts shall be collected through the Share Withholding Method.

A-15

H.    The Participant shall enter into such additional agreements as may be required by the Corporation (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing Participant) to effect the transfer of the Employer Issuance Taxes, Employer Issuance NIC and any other taxes or payments from the Corporation (or the Parent or Subsidiary employing Participant) to the Participant.

(i)    cash bonus awards (“Cash Awards”),
(ii)    performance unit awards (“Performance Unit Awards”), and
(iii)    dividend equivalent rights (“DER Awards”).
A.    Cash Awards.  The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority under the Plan to make Cash Awards which are to vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s continued Service with the Corporation or upon the attainment of specified performance goals.  Each such Cash Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided however, that each such Award Agreement shall comply with the terms specified below.
1.    The elements of the vesting schedule applicable to each Cash Award shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and incorporated into the Award Agreement.  
2.    The Plan Administrator shall also have the discretionary authority, consistent with Code Section 162(m), to structure one or more Cash Awards so that those Awards shall vest upon the achievement of pre-established corporate performance objectives based upon one or more Performance Goals. 
3.    Outstanding Cash Awards shall automatically terminate, and no cash payment or other consideration shall be due the holders of those Awards, if the performance goals or Service requirements established for the Awards are not attained or satisfied. The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the cancellation and termination of one or more unvested Cash Awards which would otherwise occur upon the cessation of the Participant’s Service or the non-attainment of the performance objectives applicable to those Awards.  Any such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the Cash Award as to which the waiver applies.  Such wavier may be effected at any time, whether before or after the Participant’s cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives.  However, no vesting requirements tied to the attainment of performance goals may be waived with respect to awards which were intended, at the time those awards were granted, to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), except as otherwise provided in Section II of this Article Four.  
4.    Cash Awards which become due and payable following the attainment of the applicable performance goals or satisfaction of the applicable Service requirement (or the waiver of such goals or Service requirement) may be paid in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the payment date or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion. 
B.    Performance Unit Awards.  The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to make Performance Unit Awards in accordance with the terms of this Article Four.  Each such Performance Unit Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided however, that each such Award Agreement shall comply with the terms specified below.
1.    A Performance Unit shall represent a participating interest in a special bonus pool tied to the attainment of pre-established performance objectives based on one or more Performance Goals. The amount of the bonus pool may vary with the level at which the applicable performance objectives are attained, and the value of each Performance Unit which becomes due and payable upon the attained level of performance shall be determined by dividing the amount of the resulting bonus pool (if any) by the total number of Performance Units issued and outstanding at the completion of the applicable performance period. 
2.    Performance Units may also be structured to include a Service requirement which the Participant must satisfy following the attainment of the applicable performance objectives in order to vest in those Performance Units. 

A-17

3.    Performance Units which become due and payable following the attainment of the applicable performance objectives and the satisfaction of any applicable Service requirement may be paid in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock valued at Fair Market Value on the payment date or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion and set forth in the Award Agreement. 
C.    Dividend Equivalent Right (“DER”) Awards.  The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to make DER Awards in accordance with the terms of this Article Four.  Each such DER Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided however, that each Award Agreement shall comply with the terms specified below.
1.    The DER Awards may be made as stand-alone awards or in tandem with other Awards made under the Plan.  The term of each such DER Award shall be established by the Plan Administrator at the time of grant, but no DER Award shall have a term in excess of seven (7) years. 
2.    Each DER shall represent the right to receive the economic equivalent of each dividend or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than shares of Common Stock), which is made per issued and outstanding share of Common Stock during the term the DER remains outstanding. A special account shall be maintained on the books of the Corporation for each Participant to whom a DER Award is made, and that account shall be credited per DER with each such dividend or distribution made per issued and outstanding share of Common Stock during the term of that DER remains outstanding.
3.    Payment of the amounts credited to such book account may be made to the Participant either concurrently with the actual dividend or distribution made per issued and outstanding share of Common Stock or may be deferred for a period specified by the Plan Administrator at the time the DER Award is initially made or designated by the Participant pursuant to a time deferral election made in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A. 
4.    Payment may be paid in (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion and set forth in the Award Agreement.  If payment is to be made in the form of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock into which the cash dividend or distribution amounts are to be converted for purposes of the Participant’s book account may be based on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the date of conversion, a prior date or an average of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock over a designated period, as the Plan Administrator shall determine in its sole discretion.
		
	II.
	CHANGE IN CONTROL

A.    The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority to structure one or more Awards under this Incentive Bonus Program so that those Awards shall automatically vest in whole or in part immediately prior to the effective date of an actual Change in Control transaction or upon the subsequent termination of the Participant’s Service by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period following the effective date of such Change in Control. 
B.    The Plan Administrator’s authority under Paragraph A of this Section II shall also extend to any performance bonus awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Code Section 162(m), even though the automatic vesting of those awards may result in their loss of performance-based status under Code Section 162(m).
		
	III.
	TAX WITHHOLDING

The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock or make a cash payment in settlement of any Award under this Incentive Bonus Program shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable income, employment and Foreign Tax withholding requirements, any employer taxes passed through to the Optionee under Article Five, Section II and any other taxes required to be collected at the time of the issuance, vesting or settlement of such Award.  Accordingly, no shares shall be issued or cash payment made with respect to an outstanding Award under this Incentive Bonus Program until such all such taxes have been collected.

ARTICLE FIVE

MISCELLANEOUS

		
	I.
	DEFERRED COMPENSATION

A.    The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, structure one or more Awards under the Stock Issuance or Incentive Bonus Programs so that the Participants may be provided with an election to defer the compensation associated with those Awards for federal income tax purposes.  Any such deferral opportunity shall comply with all applicable requirements of Code Section 409A.
B.    To the extent the Corporation maintains one or more separate non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements which allow the participants the opportunity to make notional investments of their deferred account balances in shares of Common Stock, the Plan Administrator may authorize the share reserve under the Plan to serve as the source of any shares of Common Stock that become payable under those deferred compensation arrangements.  In such event, the share reserve under the Plan shall be reduced on a share-for-one share basis for each share of Common Stock issued under the Plan in settlement of the deferred compensation owed under those separate arrangements.
C.      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan or any outstanding Award Agreement, to the extent any Award under this Plan may be deemed to create a deferred compensation arrangement under Section 409A of the Code, then the following limitations shall apply to such Award and the applicable Award Agreement (if not otherwise expressly provided therein):
-    No shares of Common Stock or other amounts which become issuable or distributable under such Award Agreement by reason of the Participant’s cessation of Service shall actually be issued or distributed to such Participant until the date of his or her Separation from Service (as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.409A-1(h) of the Treasury Regulations) or as soon thereafter as administratively practicable, but in no event later than the later of (i) the close of the calendar year in which such Separation from Service occurs and (ii) the fifteenth day of the third calendar month following the date of such Separation from Service.
-    Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, shares of Common Stock or other amounts which become issuable or distributable under such Award Agreement by reason of  the Participant’s  cessation of Service shall actually be issued or distributed to such Participant  prior to the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service and (ii) the date of Participant’s death, if he or she  is deemed at the time of such Separation from Service to be a specified employee under Section 1.409A-1(i) of the Treasury Regulations as determined by the Plan Administrator in accordance with consistent and uniform standards applied to all other Code Section 409A arrangements of the Corporation, and such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 409A(a)(2). The deferred shares or other distributable amount shall be issued or distributed in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh (7th) month following the date of the Participant’s  Separation from Service or (if earlier) the first day of the month immediately following the date the Corporation receives proof of his or her death.
		
	II.
	TAX WITHHOLDING

A.    The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement of an Award under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable income, employment and Foreign Tax withholding requirements, and any employer taxes passed through to the Optionee pursuant to the terms of the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement.
B.    The Plan Administrator may, in its discretion, structure one or more Awards under the Plan so that all applicable federal, state, local and Foreign Taxes (including, without limitation, any employer fringe benefit or other taxes permitted to be passed through to the employee under applicable law) incurred in connection with the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement of those Awards or the issuance of shares of Common Stock thereunder shall automatically be collected by withholding, from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the issuance, exercise, vesting or settlement of such Awards or the issuance of Common Stock thereunder, the number of shares (rounded up to the nearest whole share) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the dollar amount of those taxes. The shares of Common Stock so withheld shall reduce the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan.

A-19

		
	III.
	SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant’s interest in such shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares.
		
	IV.
	EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF THE PLAN

A.    The Plan shall become effective on the Plan Effective Date. 
B.    The Plan shall serve as the successor to each of the Predecessor Plans, and no further option grants or unvested share issuances shall be made under the Predecessor Plans if this Plan is approved by the stockholders at the 2009 Annual Meeting.  Such stockholder approval shall not affect the option grants and unvested share awards outstanding under the Predecessor Plans at the time of the 2009 Annual Meeting, and those option grants and unvested share awards shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.  
C.    The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) April 15, 2019, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as fully vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding Awards in connection with a Change in Control.  Should the Plan terminate on April 15, 2019, then all Awards outstanding at that time shall continue to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing those Awards.
		
	V.
	AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

A.    The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan in any or all respects; provided, however, that stockholder approval shall be required for any amendment to the Plan which materially increases the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan (other than pursuant to Section V.E of Article One), materially increases the benefits accruing to Optionees or Participants, materially expands the class of individuals eligible to participate in the Plan, expands the types of awards which may be made under the Plan or extends the term of the Plan or to the extent such stockholder approval may otherwise required under applicable law or regulation or pursuant to the listing standards of the Stock Exchange on which the Common Stock is at the time primarily traded. However, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to Awards at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or modification.
B.    The Compensation Committee shall have the discretionary authority to adopt and implement from time to time such addenda or subplans to the Plan as it may deem necessary in order to bring the Plan into compliance with applicable laws and regulations of any foreign jurisdictions in which grants or awards are to be made under the Plan and/or to obtain favorable tax treatment in those foreign jurisdictions for the individuals to whom the grants or awards are made. 
C.    Awards may be made under the Plan that involve shares of Common Stock in excess of the number of shares then available for issuance under the Plan, provided no shares shall actually be issued pursuant to those Awards until the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan is sufficiently increased by stockholder approval of an amendment of the Plan authorizing such increase.  If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first excess Award is made, then all Awards granted on the basis of such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding.
		
	VI.
	USE OF PROCEEDS

Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.
		
	VII.
	REGULATORY APPROVALS

A.    The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any Award under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock in connection with the issuance, exercise or vesting of any Award under the Plan shall be subject to the Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the Awards made under the Plan and the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to those Awards.
B.    No shares of Common Stock or other assets shall be issued or delivered under the Plan unless and until there shall have been compliance with all applicable requirements of applicable securities laws, including the filing and effectiveness

of the Form S-8 registration statement for the shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, and all applicable listing requirements of any Stock Exchange  on which Common Stock is then listed for trading. 
		
	VIII.

Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.
