ARTICLE II

GUARANTY

     Section 2.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally,
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as
surety, the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of
acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance with any Subordinated Note Document,
of all the Obligations of each Borrower whether existing on the date hereof or hereinafter incurred
or created (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty by each Guarantor hereunder
constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

     Section 2.2 Limitation of
Guaranty. Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Subordinated Note Document to
the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Guarantor shall be liable
hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without
rendering this Guaranty or any other Subordinated Note Document, as it relates to such Guarantor,
subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of
comparable Requirements of Law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis
of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account
the right of contribution established in Section 2.3 and, for purposes of such analysis, give
effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under the
Guaranty.

     Section 2.3 Contribution. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be
required hereunder to pay any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the
amount of the value actually received by such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries from the Subordinated
Indebtedness under the Subordinated Loan Documents (the “Subordinated Loans”) and other
Obligations and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid
the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by a
Borrower that received the benefit of the funds advanced that constituted Guaranteed Obligations)
in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder
bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall be
reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the
respective net worth of such other Guarantors on such date.

     Section 2.4 Authorization;
Other Agreements. The Subordinated Lender is hereby authorized, without notice to or demand
upon any Guarantor and without
discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without
incurring any liability hereunder, from time to time, to do each of the following:

          (a)(i) subject
to compliance with the applicable provisions, if any, of the Subordinated Note Documents, modify,
amend, supplement or otherwise change,
(ii) accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment or
(iii) waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with, any Guaranteed Obligation or any
Subordinated Note Document;

7

 

          (b) apply to the Guaranteed Obligations any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any
Guaranteed Obligation in such order, if any, as provided in the Subordinated Note Documents;

          (c) refund at any time any payment received by the Subordinated Lender in respect of any
Guaranteed Obligation;

          (d) (i) sell, exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, release, abandon,
fail to perfect, subordinate, accept, substitute, surrender, exchange, affect, impair or otherwise
alter or release any Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligation or any other guaranty therefor in any
manner, (ii) receive, take and hold additional Collateral to secure any Guaranteed Obligation,
(iii) add, release or substitute any one or more other guarantors, makers or endorsers of any
Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof and (iv) otherwise deal in any manner with a Borrower and
any other Guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof; and

          (e) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations.

     Section 2.5 Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives
and agrees not to assert any defense, whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of
the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty are
irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise
affected by any of the following (which, to the maximum extent permitted by law, may not be pleaded
and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with respect to this Guaranty, in
each case except in connection with a compulsory counterclaim or as otherwise agreed in writing by
the Subordinated Lender):

          (a) the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of any other
Borrower or any other Guarantor under any Subordinated Note Document or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security
for, or other guaranty of, any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection
or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or
any part thereof;

          (b) the absence of (i) any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof
from any other Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other action to
enforce the same or (ii) any action to enforce any Subordinated Note Document or any Lien
thereunder;

          (c) the failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or to
preserve any rights with respect to, any Collateral;

          (d) any workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation
or dissolution by or against a Borrower, any other Guarantor or any of a Borrower’s other
Subsidiaries or any procedure, agreement, order, stipulation, election, action or omission
thereunder, including any discharge or disallowance of, or

8

 

bar or stay against collecting, any
Guaranteed Obligation (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;

          (e) any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other sale or other
disposition of any Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by
the Subordinated Lender to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with the
Subordinated Lender’s rights under any applicable Requirement of Law; or

          (f) any other defense, setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Subsidiary of a Borrower, in each case other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

     Section 2.6 Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence,
promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder including any of the
following: (a) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest; (b) any
notice of acceptance; (c) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements
of any kind with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest
thereon) becoming immediately due and payable; and (d) any other notice in respect of any
Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or
other defense of a Borrower or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor further unconditionally and
irrevocably agrees not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right
of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against a Borrower or any other Guarantor by
reason of any Subordinated Note Document or any payment made thereunder or (y) assert any claim,
defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against any other Person providing credit support to
the Subordinated Lender in respect of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any other
Guarantor) or set off any of its obligations to any such other Person against obligations of such
other Person to such Guarantor. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other
than by complete performance.

     Section 2.7 Reliance. Each Guarantor hereby assumes
responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each Borrower, each other
Guarantor
and any other guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and of
all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any
part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that the
Subordinated Lender shall not have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it
regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event the Subordinated Lender, in its
sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any
Guarantor, the Subordinated Lender shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation
not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that the Subordinated
Lender, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to
maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosures of such information or

9

ARTICLE VI

REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

     Section 6.1 Code and Other Remedies. Subject to the prior rights, if any, in
favor of the “Agent” under the Credit Agreement Security
Agreement:

          (a) UCC Remedies.
During the continuance of an event of default under the Subordinated Note Documents (each, an
“Event of Default”), the Subordinated Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights
and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing,
evidencing or relating to any Secured Obligation, all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the UCC or any other applicable law.

          (b) Disposition of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Subordinated Lender may, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or
upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and
each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), during the
continuance of any Event of Default (personally or through its agents or attorneys), (i) enter upon
the premises where any Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent, through
self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor
or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on the Subordinated Lender’s claim or
action, (ii) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral and (iii) sell, assign,
convey, transfer, grant option or options to purchase and deliver any Collateral (enter into
Contractual Obligations to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private
sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Subordinated Lender or elsewhere
upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for
cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Subordinated
Lender shall have the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by the
UCC and other applicable Requirements of Law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or
any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which
right or equity is hereby waived and released.

          (c) Management of the Collateral. Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the
continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at the Subordinated Lender’s request, it shall assemble
the Collateral and make it available to the Subordinated Lender at places

12

 

that the Subordinated
Lender shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without
limiting the foregoing, the Subordinated Lender also has the right to require that each Grantor
store and keep any Collateral pending further action by the Subordinated Lender and, while any such
Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary
to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until the
Subordinated Lender is able to sell, assign, convey or transfer any Collateral, the Subordinated
Lender shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate
for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed
appropriate by the Subordinated Lender and (iv) the Subordinated Lender may, if it so elects, seek
the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of
the Subordinated Lender’s remedies, with respect to such appointment without prior notice or
hearing as to such appointment, except as required by law. The Subordinated Lender shall not have
any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against third
parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of the
Subordinated Lender.

     (d) Application of Proceeds. The Subordinated Lender shall apply the cash proceeds of
any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and
expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of
any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Subordinated Lender
hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in
part of the Secured Obligations, as set forth in the Subordinated Note Documents (if specified
therein), and only after such application and after the payment by the Subordinated Lender of any
other amount required by any Requirement of Law, need the Subordinated Lender account for the
surplus, if any, to any Grantor.

     (e) Direct Obligation. The Subordinated Lender shall not be required to make any
demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor or any other Person with
respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect
to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and
remedies of the Subordinated Lender under any Subordinated Note Document shall be cumulative, may
be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies
provided by any Requirement of Law. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely
and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert
against the Subordinated Lender, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or
similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing,
arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or
other disposition of any Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed
reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

     (f) Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose
duties on the Subordinated Lender to exercise remedies in a

13

 

commercially reasonable manner, each
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Subordinated
Lender to do any of the following:

          (i) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other liabilities reasonably deemed
as such by the Subordinated Lender to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise
to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products
for disposition;

          (ii) fail to obtain Permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to sell
or for the collection or sale of any Collateral, or, if not required by other Requirements
of Law, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the collection or disposition of any
Collateral;

          (iii) fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on
any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against
any Collateral;

          (iv) advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or to contact other
Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in
acquiring any such Collateral;

          (v) exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated
on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection
agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to
assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a
specialized nature, or, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Subordinated Lender, obtain
the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to
assist the Subordinated Lender in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or
utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the
Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and
sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral;

          (vi) dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

          (vii) disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment;
or

          (viii) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Subordinated Lender
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to the
Subordinated Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any
Collateral.

14

 

Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6.1 is to provide a
non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising
remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Subordinated Lender
shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this
Section 6.1. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this
Section 6.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties
on the Subordinated Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by
applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section 6.1.

          (g) IP Licenses. For the purpose of enabling the Subordinated Lender to exercise
rights and remedies under this Section 6.1 (including in order to take possession of,
collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey,
transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as the Subordinated Lender shall
be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the
Subordinated Lender, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, worldwide license (exercisable without
payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including in such license the right to
sublicense, use and practice any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such
Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to
all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) an irrevocable
license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy
all real Property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.

     Section 6.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles. Subject
to the prior rights, if any, of the “Agent” under the
Credit Agreement Security Agreement:

          (a) In
addition to, and not in substitution for, any similar requirement in the Subordinated Note
Documents, if required by the Subordinated Lender at any time during the continuance of an Event of
Default, any payment of accounts or payment in respect of general intangibles, when collected by
any Grantor, shall be promptly (and, in any event, within 2 Business Days) deposited by such
Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to the Subordinated Lender, in a
Cash Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by the Subordinated Lender as provided in
Section 6.4. Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the
Subordinated Lender, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of proceeds of
accounts and payments in respect of general intangibles shall be accompanied by a report
identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the
payments included in the deposit.

          (b) At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default:

          (i) each Grantor shall, upon the Subordinated Lender’s request, deliver to the
Subordinated Lender all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the
Contractual Obligations and transactions that gave rise to any account or any payment in
respect of general intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and shipping
receipts and notify account debtors that the

15

 

accounts or general intangibles have been
collaterally assigned to the Subordinated Lender and that payments in respect thereof shall
be made directly to the Subordinated Lender;

          (ii) the Subordinated Lender may, without notice, at any time during the continuance
of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its
accounts or amounts due under general intangibles or any thereof and, in its own name or in
the name of others, communicate with account debtors to verify with them to the
Subordinated Lender’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any account or
amounts due under any general intangible. In addition, the Subordinated Lender may at any
time enforce such Grantor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors of general
intangibles; and

          (iii) each Grantor shall take all actions, deliver all documents and provide all
information necessary or reasonably requested by the Subordinated Lender to ensure any
Internet Domain Name is registered.

     (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under
each account and each payment in respect of general intangibles to observe and perform all the
conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with
the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto.
The Subordinated Lender shall not have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving
rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible by reason of or arising out of
any Subordinated Note Document or the receipt by the Subordinated Lender of any payment relating
thereto, nor shall the Subordinated Lender be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of
any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of
a general intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency
of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder,
to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the
payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time
or times.

     Section 6.3 Pledged Collateral. Subject to the prior rights, if any, of the
“Agent” under Credit Agreement Security Agreement:

     (a) Voting Rights. During the
continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by the Subordinated Lender to the relevant Grantor
or Grantors, the Subordinated Lender or its nominee may exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate
and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or
members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise
and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option
pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right
to exchange at its discretion any Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent
structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and
deliver any

16

 

Pledged Collateral
with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such
terms and conditions as the Subordinated Lender may determine), all without liability except to
account for property actually received by it; provided, however, that the
Subordinated Lender shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or
option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

          (b) Proxies. In order to permit the Subordinated Lender to exercise the voting and
other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all
dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor
shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Subordinated
Lender all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as the Subordinated Lender
may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above,
such Grantor hereby grants to the Subordinated Lender an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part
of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to
which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written
consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of
shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy
shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer
of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer
thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer
or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only
terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

          (c) Authorization of Issuers. Each Grantor hereby expressly irrevocably authorizes
and instructs, without any further instructions from such Grantor, each issuer of any Pledged
Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from
the Subordinated Lender in writing that states that an Event of Default is continuing and is
otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each Grantor agrees that such issuer
shall be fully protected from Liabilities to such Grantor in so complying and (ii) if so directed
by Subordinated Lender, pay any dividend or make any other payment with respect to the Pledged
Collateral directly to the Subordinated Lender.

     Section 6.4 Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Subordinated Lender.
Subject to the prior rights, if any, of the “Agent” under the Credit Agreement Security
Agreement:

          Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Subordinated Loan Documents or
this Agreement,
and, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any
Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by such
Grantor in trust for the Subordinated Lender, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and
shall, promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be turned over to the Subordinated Lender in the exact
form received (with any necessary endorsement). All such proceeds of Collateral and any other
proceeds

17

 

of any Collateral received by the Subordinated Lender in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be
held by the Subordinated Lender in a Cash Collateral Account. All proceeds being held by the
Subordinated Lender in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Subordinated
Lender) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not
constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Subordinated Note Documents.

Section
6.5 Sale of Pledged Collateral.
Subject to the prior rights, if any, of the “Agent”
under the Credit Agreement Security Agreement:

          (a) Each Grantor recognizes that the Subordinated
Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain
prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or
otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially
reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group
of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for
their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms
less favorable than if such sale were a
public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall
be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Subordinated Lender shall be
under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to
permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act or
under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would
agree to do so.

          (b) Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts
as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to
Section 6.1 and this Section 6.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable
Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained herein
will cause irreparable injury to the Subordinated Lender, that the Subordinated Lender has no
adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every
covenant contained herein shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of
such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Subordinated
Note Documents. Each Grantor waives any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the
sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral by Subordinated Lender.

     Section 6.6 Deficiency. Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the
proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured
Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Subordinated Lender to
collect such deficiency.

ARTICLE VII

     Section 7.1 Subordinated Lender’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact. 

          (a) Each
Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Subordinated Lender, with full

purpose of carrying out the terms of the Subordinated Note Documents, to take any appropriate

equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Subordinated Lender for the purpose of
collecting any such moneys due under any account or general intangible or with respect to
any other Collateral whenever payable;

          (ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property owned by or licensed to the Grantors,

Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating
thereto or represented thereby;

          (iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against any
Collateral, effect any repair or pay any insurance called for by the terms of the
Subordinated Debt Documents (including all or any part of the premiums therefor and the
costs thereof);

          (iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.1 or Section 6.5,

determine, including the execution and filing of any document necessary to effectuate or
record such assignment and (H) generally, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant a Lien
on, make any Contractual Obligation with respect
to and otherwise deal with, any Collateral as fully and completely as though the
Subordinated Lender were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes and do, at the
Subordinated Lender’s option, at any time or from time to time, all acts and things that
the Subordinated Lender deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon any Collateral
and the Subordinated Lender’s security interests therein and to effect the intent of the
Subordinated Note Documents, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.

          (vi) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any Contractual Obligation
contained herein, the Subordinated Lender, at its option, but without any obligation so to
do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such
Contractual Obligation.

annum, greater than the rate applicable to the Subordinated Note (or such lesser rate as shall not
violate the applicable usury statute in any applicable and appropriate jurisdiction if such higher
rate would be violative of such applicable statute(s)), from the date of payment by the
Subordinated Lender to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such
Grantor to the Subordinated Lender on demand.

          (c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done

such financing statements and amendments may described the Collateral covered thereby as “all
assets of the debtor”,

20

 

but, with respect to Akorn, shall expressly exclude the Existing JV. A photographic or other

financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in
any jurisdiction. Such Grantor also hereby ratifies its authorization for the Subordinated Lender
to have filed any initial financing statement or amendment thereto under the UCC (or other similar
laws) in effect in any jurisdiction if filed prior to the date hereof.

     Section 7.3 Reserved

     Section 7.4 Duty; Obligations and Liabilities. 

          (a) Duty of
Subordinated Lender. The Subordinated Lender’s sole duty with respect to the custody,
safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it
in the same manner as the Subordinated Lender deals with similar property for its own account. The
powers conferred on the Subordinated Lender hereunder are solely to protect the Subordinated
Lender’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Subordinated Lender to
exercise any such powers. The Subordinated Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it
receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Related Persons
shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own
gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
In addition, the Subordinated Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to
any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any
warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been
selected by the Subordinated Lender in good faith.

          (b) Obligations and Liabilities with respect to Collateral. The Subordinated Lender
shall not be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay
in doing so or nor shall it be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral
upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with
regard to any Collateral.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 8.1 Reinstatement. Each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by
any other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set
aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to
be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by the
Subordinated Lender to such Person, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any
Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall
be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior
to any of the foregoing, (a) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability
hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any provision of
the Guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other
Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release,

21

 

termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or
otherwise affect the obligations of any such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral
securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

     Section 8.2 Release of
Collateral. 

          (a) Upon satisfaction in full in cash of all Obligations (other than surviving
indemnity obligations as to which no claim is then pending), the Collateral shall be released from
the Lien created hereby and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated
to survive such termination) of the Subordinated Lender and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate,
all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to
the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Each Grantor is hereby authorized to file UCC
amendments at such time evidencing the termination of the Liens so released. At the request of any
Grantor following any such termination, the Subordinated Lender shall deliver to such Grantor any
Collateral of such Grantor held by the Subordinated Lender hereunder and execute and deliver to
such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

          (b) (i) At the time provided in subsection 8.10(b) of the Credit Agreement (as in effect on
the date hereof or as amended by one or more Controlling Amendments) and at the request of the
Borrowers, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the
Stock and Stock Equivalents of such Grantor shall be sold to any Person that is not an Affiliate of
a Borrower or the Subsidiaries of a Borrower in a transaction permitted by the Subordinated Note
Documents; and (ii) effective upon the release by the Agent of any Lien against any Collateral
pursuant to Section 8.10(b)(i) or Section 8.10(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement (as in effect on the
date hereof or as amended by one or more Controlling Amendments), the Subordinated Lender’s Lien in
the Collateral so released shall be released, automatically and without need for further action by
any Person.

     Section 8.3 Independent Obligations. The obligations of each Grantor
hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations and the Guaranteed
Obligations. If any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation is not paid when due, or upon any
Event of Default, the Subordinated Lender may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once,
without notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of
any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any
other Grantor or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor in any
proceeding.

     Section 8.4 No Waiver by Course of Conduct. The Subordinated Lender
shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.6), delay, indulgence,
omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced
in any Event of Default (or event or circumstance which but for the giving of notice, lapse of
time, or both would constitute an Event of Default (each such event or circumstance prior to such
notice, lapse of time, or both, being referred to as a “Default”)). No failure to
exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Subordinated Lender, any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or

22

 

the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver the Subordinated Lender of any
right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy that the Subordinated Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.

     Section 8.5
Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived,
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with the Subordinated Note
Documents; provided, however, that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented
(but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge
Amendments and Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex 1 and Annex 2, respectively,
in each case duly executed by the Subordinated Lender and each Grantor directly affected
thereby.

     Section 8.6 Additional Grantors; Additional Pledged Collateral.

           (a)
Joinder Agreements. If, at the option of a Borrower or as required pursuant to
Section 4.13 of the Credit Agreement (the provisions of which are incorporated herein, mutatis
mutandi, a Borrower shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder,
such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Subordinated Lender a Joinder Agreement
substantially in the form of Annex 2 and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and
have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date.

          (b) Pledge Amendments. To the extent any Pledged Collateral has not been identified
as of the Closing Date, such Grantor shall deliver a pledge amendment duly executed by the Grantor
in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a “Pledge Amendment”). Such Grantor authorizes
the Subordinated Lender to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement.

     Section 8.7 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the
Subordinated Lender or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in the
Subordinated Note; provided, however, that any such notice, request or demand to or
upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the Borrowers’ notice address set forth therein.

     Section
8.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Subordinated Lender and its
successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Grantor may assign, transfer or
delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of
the Subordinated Lender.

     Section 8.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when
so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one
and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and
attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by
facsimile transmission or by Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart hereof.

     Section 8.10 Severability. Any provision of
this Agreement being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect
any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of this
Agreement or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 8.11
Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall
be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New
York.

     Section 8.12 Waiver of Jury Trial.

23

 

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING
WITH RESPECT TO, OR DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN OR RELATED THERETO (WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT,
TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO OTHER PARTY AND NO RELATED
PERSON OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT,
IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND
THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.12.

     EACH GRANTOR AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF SUBSECTION
9.18(b) AND (c) OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, MUTATIS MUTANDI.

     Section 8.13 Repayment of Credit Agreement. Grantors hereby agree that in the event
of any refinancing of the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, whether concurrent with or
subsequent to the repayment of the indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, notwithstanding any
provisions in the Subordinated Note Documents to the contrary and regardless of whether such
refinancing, or any term with respect thereto (including without limitation any security provided
therefor) is permitted under the terms of the Subordinated Note Documents, unless Subordinated
Lender hereafter agrees otherwise, in its sole discretion (i) the lender(s) in respect of such
refinancing shall not be entitled to the benefit of any subordination provisions contained in the
Subordinated Note Documents or the any provision in the Credit Agreement relating to the
subordination of the Secured Obligations and (ii) any and all liens in favor of such lender(s) or
their agents shall be subordinate and junior to the liens created hereunder securing the Secured
Obligations and the Grantors shall take all actions requested by the Subordinated Lender to
evidence, perfect and maintain the priority of such liens and security interests.

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN; ADMINISTRATOR AUTHORITY TO SELECT GRANTEES
     AND DETERMINE AWARDS

     (a) Committee. The Plan shall be administered by either the Board or the
Committee (the "Administrator").

     (b) Powers of Administrator. The Administrator shall have the power and
authority to grant Awards consistent with the terms of the Plan, including the
power and authority:

          (i) to select the individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be
granted;

          (ii) to determine the time or times of grant, and the extent, if any,
of Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation
Rights, Restricted Stock Awards and Deferred Stock Awards, or any combination of
the foregoing, granted to any one or more grantees;

          (iii) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by any
Award;

          (iv) to determine and modify from time to time the terms and
conditions, including restrictions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan,
of any Award, which terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and
grantees, and to approve the form of written instruments evidencing the Awards;

          (v) to accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or
any portion of any Award;

          (vi) subject to the provisions of Section 5(a)(ii), to extend at any
time the period in which Stock Options may be exercised; and

          (vii) at any time to adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines
and practices for administration of the Plan and for its own acts and
proceedings as it shall deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of
the Plan and any Award (including related written instruments); to make all
determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; to decide
all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the
administration of the Plan.

     All decisions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be binding on
all persons, including the Company and Plan grantees.

     (c) Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards. The Administrator, in its
discretion, may delegate to any executive officer of the Company all or part of
the Administrator's authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards
to employees who are not subject to the reporting and other provisions of
Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Covered Employees. Any

                                        3

<PAGE>

such delegation by the Administrator shall include a limitation as to the amount
of Awards that may be granted during the period of the delegation and shall
contain guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price of any Stock
Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the conversion ratio or price of other
Awards and the vesting criteria. The Administrator may revoke or amend the terms
of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior
actions of the Administrator's delegate or delegates that were consistent with
the terms of the Plan.

     (d) Indemnification. Neither the Board nor the Committee, nor any member of
either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission,
interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection
with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Committee (and any delegate
thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by
the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the
fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors' and officers'
liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time and/or any
indemnification agreement between such individual and the Company.

SECTION 3. STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION

     (a) Stock Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and
available for issuance under the Plan shall be the sum of (i) 1,583,682 shares,
(ii) such number of shares as equals that number of stock options or awards
returned to (A) the Company's Amended and Restated 1994 Stock Plan, as amended,
after the Effective Date, (B) the Company's Amended and Restated 2001 Special
Stock Option Plan, after the Effective Date, and (C) the Company's Amended and
Restated 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, after the Effective Date, in each
case as a result of the expiration, cancellation or termination of such stock
options or awards and (iii) as of January 1, 2007 and each January 1,
thereafter, a number of shares equal to four and one-half percent (4.5%) of the
Company's outstanding Stock on such date, subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 3(c). For purposes of this limitation, the shares of Stock underlying
any Awards that are forfeited, canceled, held back upon exercise of an Option or
settlement of an Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding,
reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of
Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to
the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. In no event may
shares of Stock granted in the form of Incentive Stock Options exceed 10,000,000
shares. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but
unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company.

     (b) Per-Participant Limit. Subject to adjustment under Section 3(c), no
grantee may be granted Awards during any one fiscal year to purchase more than
2,500,000 shares of Stock.

     (c) Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 3(d) hereof, if, as a result of
any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company's capital
stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the
Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of
the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares
of Stock or

                                        4

<PAGE>

other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of
Stock are converted into or exchanged for a different number or kind of
securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary
thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate
adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the
Plan and the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be granted in the form
of Incentive Stock Options, (ii) the number of Awards that can be granted to any
one individual grantee during any one fiscal year, (iii) the number and kind of
shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the
Plan, (iv) the repurchase price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding
Restricted Stock Award, and (v) the price for each share subject to any then
outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without
changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by
the number of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such
Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The adjustment
by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional
shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such
adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in
lieu of fractional shares.

     The Administrator may also adjust the number of shares subject to
outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to
take into consideration material changes in accounting practices or principles,
extraordinary dividends, acquisitions or dispositions of stock or property or
any other event if it is determined by the Administrator that such adjustment is
appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan, provided that no
such adjustment shall be made in the case of a Stock Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, without the consent of the grantee, if it would constitute a
modification, extension or renewal of the Option within the meaning of Section
424(h) of the Code.

     (d) Acquisition of the Company

          (i) Consequences of an Acquisition. Upon the consummation of an
Acquisition, the Board or the board of directors of the surviving or acquiring
entity (as used in this Section 3(d), also the "Board"), shall, as to
outstanding Awards (on the same basis or on different bases as the Board shall
specify), make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Awards by the
Company or the assumption of such Awards by the surviving or acquiring entity
and by substituting on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to such
Awards either (a) the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding
shares of Stock in connection with the Acquisition, (b) shares of stock of the
surviving or acquiring corporation or (c) such other securities or other
consideration as the Board deems appropriate, the fair market value of which (as
determined by the Board in its sole discretion) shall not materially differ from
the fair market value of the shares of Stock subject to such Awards immediately
preceding the Acquisition. In addition to or in lieu of the foregoing, with
respect to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, the Board may, on
the same basis or on different bases as the Board shall specify, upon written
notice to the affected optionees, provide that one or more Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights then outstanding must be exercised, in whole or in part,
within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of
which period such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate, or
provide that one or more Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding,
in whole or in part, shall be terminated in exchange for a cash payment equal to
the excess of the fair market value (as determined by the Board in its sole

                                        5

<PAGE>

discretion) for the shares subject to such Options and Stock Appreciation Rights
over the exercise price thereof; provided, however, that before terminating any
portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right that is not vested or
exercisable (other than in exchange for a cash payment), the Board must first
accelerate in full the exercisability of the portion that is to be terminated.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board (on the same basis or on different
bases as the Board shall specify), any repurchase rights or other rights of the
Company that relate to an Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other Award shall
continue to apply to consideration, including cash, that has been substituted,
assumed or amended for an Option, Stock Appreciation Right or other Award
pursuant to this paragraph. The Company may hold in escrow all or any portion of
any such consideration in order to effectuate any continuing restrictions.

          (ii) Acquisition Defined. An "Acquisition" shall mean: (x) the sale of
the Company by merger in which the stockholders of the Company in their capacity
as such no longer own a majority of the outstanding equity securities of the
Company (or its successor), or (y) any sale of all or substantially all of the
assets or capital stock of the Company (other than in a spin-off or similar
transaction), or (z) any other acquisition of the business of the Company, as
determined by the Board.

     (e) Substitute Awards. The Administrator may grant Awards under the Plan in
substitution for stock and stock based awards held by employees, directors or
other key persons of another corporation in connection with the merger or
consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a Subsidiary or
the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or stock of the
employing corporation. The Administrator may direct that the substitute awards
be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator considers
appropriate in the circumstances. Any substitute Awards granted under the Plan
shall not count against the share limitation set forth in Section 3(a).

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY

     Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other
employees, directors and key persons (including consultants and prospective
employees) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as are selected from time to time
by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS

     Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the
Administrator may from time to time approve.

     Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options
or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a "subsidiary corporation"
within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option
does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

     (a) Grants of Stock Options. Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section
5(a) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain
such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the
Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable.

                                        6

<PAGE>

          (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered
by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be determined by
the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the option price
of such Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than one hundred ten percent
(110%) of the Fair Market Value on the grant date.

          (ii) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the
Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years
after the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock
Option that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option
shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.

          (iii) Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall
become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as
shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. The
Administrator may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any
portion of any Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder
only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to
unexercised Stock Options.

          (iv) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in
part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number
of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or
more of the following methods to the extent provided in the Option Award
agreement:

               (A) In cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument
     acceptable to the Administrator;

               (B) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of
     shares of Stock that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market
     or that are beneficially owned by the optionee and are not then subject to
     restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be
     valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date. To the extent required to
     avoid variable accounting treatment under FAS 123R or other applicable
     accounting rules, such surrendered shares shall have been owned by the
     optionee for at least six months; or

               (C) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed
     exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
     promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to
     the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee
     chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the
     broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of
     indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a
     condition of such payment procedure.

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the
optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the shares of
Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be
contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in
accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the

                                        7

<PAGE>

Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any
other requirements contained in the Option Award agreement or applicable
provisions of laws (including the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the
Company is obligated to withhold with respect to the optionee). In the event an
optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock
through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the
optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of
shares attested to.

          (v) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required
for "incentive stock option" treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares
of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan
and any other plan of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations
become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year
shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this
limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

     (a) Nature of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right is an
Award entitling the recipient to receive shares of Stock having a value equal to
the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of exercise over
the exercise price of the Stock Appreciation Right, which price shall not be
less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant
(or more than the option exercise price per share, if the Stock Appreciation
Right was granted in tandem with a Stock Option) multiplied by the number of
shares of Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have
been exercised.

     (b) Grant and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation
Rights may be granted by the Administrator in tandem with, or independently of,
any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan. In the case of a
Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Non-Qualified Stock Option,
such Stock Appreciation Right may be granted either at or after the time of the
grant of such Option. In the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in
tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, such Stock Appreciation Right may be
granted only at the time of the grant of the Option.

     A Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted in tandem
with a Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the
termination or exercise of the related Option.

     (c) Terms and Conditions of Stock Appreciation Rights. Stock Appreciation
Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined from
time to time by the Administrator, subject to the following:

          (i) Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with Options shall be
exercisable at such time or times and to the extent that the related Stock
Options shall be exercisable.

          (ii) Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the applicable
portion of any related Option shall be surrendered.

                                        8

<PAGE>

SECTION 7. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

     (a) Nature of Restricted Stock Awards. A Restricted Stock Award is an Award
entitling the recipient to acquire, at such purchase price (which may be zero)
as determined by the Administrator, shares of Stock subject to such restrictions
and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant
("Restricted Stock"). Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other
service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals
and objectives. The grant of a Restricted Stock Award is contingent on the
grantee executing the Restricted Stock Award agreement. The terms and conditions
of each such agreement shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms
and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.

     (b) Rights as a Stockholder. Upon execution of a written instrument setting
forth the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a
grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the
Restricted Stock, subject to such conditions contained in the written instrument
evidencing the Restricted Stock Award. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise
determine, (i) uncertificated Restricted Stock shall be accompanied by a
notation on the records of the Company or the transfer agent to the effect that
they are subject to forfeiture until such Restricted Stock are vested as
provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii) certificated Restricted Stock shall
remain in the possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as
provided in Section 7(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a
condition of the grant, to deliver to the Company such instruments of transfer
as the Administrator may prescribe.

     (c) Restrictions. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided
herein or in the Restricted Stock Award agreement. Except as may otherwise be
provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to
Section 14 below, in writing after the Award agreement is issued, if any, if a
grantee's employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its
Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, any Restricted Stock that has not vested
at the time of termination shall automatically and without any requirement of
notice to such grantee from or other action by or on behalf of, the Company be
deemed to have been reacquired by the Company at its original purchase price
from such grantee or such grantee's legal representative simultaneously with
such termination of employment (or other service relationship), and thereafter
shall cease to represent any ownership of the Company by the grantee or rights
of the grantee as a stockholder. Following such deemed reacquisition of unvested
Restricted Stock that are represented by physical certificates, a grantee shall
surrender such certificates to the Company upon request without consideration.

     (d) Vesting of Restricted Stock. The Administrator at the time of grant
shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established
performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the
non-transferability of the Restricted Stock and the Company's right of
repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or
the attainment of such pre-established performance goals, objectives and other
conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be
Restricted Stock and shall be deemed "vested." Except as may otherwise be
provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or, subject to
Section 14 below, in writing after the Award agreement is issued, a grantee's
rights in

                                        9

<PAGE>

any shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested shall automatically
terminate upon the grantee's termination of employment (or other service
relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries and such shares shall be
subject to the provisions of Section 7(c) above.

SECTION 8. DEFERRED STOCK AWARDS

     (a) Nature of Deferred Stock Awards. A Deferred Stock Award is an Award of
phantom stock units to a grantee, subject to restrictions and conditions as the
Administrator may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on
continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of
pre-established performance goals and objectives. The grant of a Deferred Stock
Award is contingent on the grantee executing the Deferred Stock Award agreement.
The terms and conditions of each such agreement shall be determined by the
Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards
and grantees. At the end of the deferral period, the Deferred Stock Award, to
the extent vested, shall be paid to the grantee in the form of shares of Stock.

     (b) Election to Receive Deferred Stock Awards in Lieu of Compensation. The
Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee to elect to receive
a portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form
of a Deferred Stock Award. Any such election shall be made in writing and shall
be delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the
Administrator and in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and
procedures established by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have the
sole right to determine whether and under what circumstances to permit such
elections and to impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon
as the Administrator deems appropriate. Any such deferred compensation shall be
converted to a fixed number of phantom stock units based on the Fair Market
Value of Stock on the date the compensation would otherwise have been paid to
the grantee but for the deferral.

     (c) Rights as a Stockholder. During the deferral period, a grantee shall
have no rights as a stockholder; provided, however, that the grantee may be
credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the phantom stock units
underlying his Deferred Stock Award, subject to such terms and conditions as the
Administrator may determine.

     (d) Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator
either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 14 below, in writing after
the Award agreement is issued, a grantee's right in all Deferred Stock Awards
that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee's
termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the
Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.

SECTION 9. PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS TO COVERED EMPLOYEES

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any
Restricted Stock Award or Deferred Stock Award granted to a Covered Employee is
intended to qualify as "Performance-based Compensation" under Section 162(m) of
the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (a "Performance-based
Award"), such Award shall comply with the provisions set forth below:

                                       10

<PAGE>

     (a) Performance Criteria. The performance criteria used in performance
goals governing Performance-based Awards granted to Covered Employees may
include any or all of the following: (i) the Company's return on equity, assets,
capital or investment: (ii) pre-tax or after-tax profit levels of the Company or
any Subsidiary, a division, an operating unit or a business segment of the
Company, or any combination of the foregoing; (iii) cash flow, funds from
operations or similar measure; (iv) total stockholder return; (v) changes in the
market price of the Stock; (vi) sales or market share; or (vii) earnings per
share.

     (b) Grant of Performance-based Awards. With respect to each
Performance-based Award granted to a Covered Employee, the Committee shall
select, within the first 90 days of a Performance Cycle (or, if shorter, within
the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code) the performance
criteria for such grant, and the achievement targets with respect to each
performance criterion (including a threshold level of performance below which no
amount will become payable with respect to such Award). Each Performance-based
Award will specify the amount payable, or the formula for determining the amount
payable, upon achievement of the various applicable performance targets. The
performance criteria established by the Committee may be (but need not be)
different for each Performance Cycle and different goals may be applicable to
Performance-based Awards to different Covered Employees.

     (c) Payment of Performance-based Awards. Following the completion of a
Performance Cycle, the Committee shall meet to review and certify in writing
whether, and to what extent, the performance criteria for the Performance Cycle
have been achieved and, if so, to also calculate and certify in writing the
amount of the Performance-based Awards earned for the Performance Cycle. The
Committee shall then determine the actual size of each Covered Employee's
Performance-based Award, and, in doing so, may reduce or eliminate the amount of
the Performance-based Award for a Covered Employee if, in its sole judgment,
such reduction or elimination is appropriate.

SECTION 10. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

     (a) Transferability. Except as provided in Section 10(b) below, during a
grantee's lifetime, his or her Awards shall be exercisable only by the grantee,
or by the grantee's legal representative or guardian in the event of the
grantee's incapacity. No Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee other than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in
part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer
in violation hereof shall be null and void.

     (b) Committee Action. Notwithstanding Section 10(a), the Administrator, in
its discretion, may provide either in the Award agreement regarding a given
Award or by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee or
director) may transfer his or her Awards (other than any Incentive Stock
Options) to his or her immediate family members, to trusts for the benefit of
such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the
only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company
to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable
Award.

                                       11

<PAGE>

     (c) Family Member. For purposes of Section 10(b), "family member" shall
mean a grantee's child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent,
spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law,
son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including
adoptive relationships, any person sharing the grantee's household (other than a
tenant of the grantee), a trust in which these persons (or the grantee) have
more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these
persons (or the grantee) control the management of assets, and any other entity
in which these persons (or the grantee) own more than 50 percent of the voting
interests.

     (d) Designation of Beneficiary. Each grantee to whom an Award has been made
under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any
Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee's
death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the
Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Administrator. If
no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated
beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the
grantee's estate.

SECTION 11. TAX WITHHOLDING

     (a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of
which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder
first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for Federal income
tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any
kind required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income.
The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the
right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the
grantee. The Company's obligation to deliver evidence of book entry (or stock
certificates) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding
obligations being satisfied by the grantee.

     (b) Payment in Stock. Subject to approval by the Administrator, a grantee
may elect to have the Company's minimum required tax withholding obligation
satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold from
shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an
aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that
would satisfy the withholding amount due, or (ii) transferring to the Company
shares of Stock owned by the grantee with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of
the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount
due.

SECTION 12. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED
     COMPENSATION UNDER SECTION 409A.

     In the event any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan is
granted with an exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the
Fair Market Value on the date of grant (regardless of whether or not such
exercise price is intentionally or unintentionally priced at less than Fair
Market Value), or such grant is materially modified and deemed a new grant at a
time when the Fair Market Value exceeds the exercise price, or any other Award
is otherwise determined to constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation"
within the meaning of

                                       12

<PAGE>

Section 409A (a "409A Award"), the following additional conditions shall apply
and shall supersede any contrary provisions of this Plan or the terms of any
agreement relating to such 409A Award.

     (a) Exercise and Distribution. Except as provided in Section 12(b) hereof,

the written instrument evidencing the 409A Award, but not later than after the
expiration of ten years from the date such Award was granted.

          (ii) Separation from Service. Separation from service (within the
meaning of Section 409A) by the 409A Award grantee; provided, however, that if
the 409A Award grantee is a "key employee" (as defined in Section 416(i) of the
Code without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) and any of the Company's Stock is
publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, exercise or
distribution under this Section 12(a)(ii) may not be made before the date that
is six months after the date of separation from service.

          (iii) Death. The date of death of the 409A Award grantee.

emergency (within the meaning of Section 12(c)(iii) hereof), but only if the net
value (after payment of the exercise price) of the number of shares of Stock
that become issuable does not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such
emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result
of the exercise, after taking into account the extent to which the emergency is
or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or
otherwise or by liquidation of the grantee's other assets (to the extent such
liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship).

          (vi) Change in Control Event. The occurrence of a Change in Control
Event (within the meaning of Section 12(c)(i) hereof), including the Company's
discretionary exercise of the right to accelerate vesting of such grant upon a

     (b) No Acceleration. A 409A Award may not be accelerated or exercised prior
to the time specified in Section 12(a) hereof, except in the case of one of the
following events:

          (i) Domestic Relations Order. The 409A Award may permit the
acceleration of the exercise or distribution time or schedule to an individual
other than the grantee as may be necessary to comply with the terms of a
domestic relations order (as defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code).

                                       13

<PAGE>

          (ii) Conflicts of Interest. The 409A Award may permit the acceleration

          (iii) Change in Control Event. The Administrator may exercise the
discretionary right to accelerate the vesting of such 409A Award upon a Change

within 12 months of the Change in Control Event and cancel the 409A Award for
compensation.

purposes of the Plan, the following terms shall be defined as set forth below:

          (i) "Change in Control Event" means the occurrence of a change in the
ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company, or a
change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company
(as defined in IRS Notice 2005-1, Q&A-11, Q&A-12, Q&A-13 and Q&A-14 or any
subsequent guidance).

          (ii) "Disabled" means a grantee who (i) is unable to engage in any
substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or
mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to
last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, or (ii) is, by reason
of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected
to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not
less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not
less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of
the Company or its Subsidiaries.

          (iii) "Unforeseeable Emergency" means a severe financial hardship to
the grantee resulting from an illness or accident of the grantee, the grantee's
spouse, or a dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code) of the
grantee, loss of the grantee's property due to casualty, or similar
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events
beyond the control of the grantee.

SECTION 13. TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC.

     For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a
termination of employment:

     (a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from
the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or

     (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for
any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee's right to
re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the
policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the
Administrator otherwise so provides in writing.

SECTION 14. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION

     The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the
Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the
purpose of satisfying changes in law or

                                       14

<PAGE>
for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights
under any outstanding Award without the holder's consent. Except as provided in
Section 3(c) or 3(d), without prior stockholder approval in no event may the
Administrator exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of
outstanding Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or effect repricing
through cancellation and re-grants, including cancellation in exchange for cash.
Any material Plan amendments (other than amendments that curtail the scope of
the Plan), including any Plan amendments that (i) increase the number of shares
reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) expand the type of Awards available
under, materially expand the eligibility to participate in, or materially extend
the term of, the Plan, or (iii) materially change the method of determining Fair
Market Value, shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled
to vote at a meeting of stockholders. In addition, to the extent determined by
the Administrator to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock
Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code or to
ensure that compensation earned under Awards qualifies as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject
to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders. Nothing in this Section 14 shall limit the Administrator's
authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(d).

SECTION 15. STATUS OF PLAN

     With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and
any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a
grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the
Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in
connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator
may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company's
obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder,
provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent
with the foregoing sentence.

SECTION 16. GENERAL PROVISIONS

     (a) No Distribution; Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Administrator
may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and
agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares
without a view to distribution thereof.

     No shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to an Award until all
applicable securities law and other legal and stock exchange or similar
requirements have been satisfied. The Administrator may require the placing of
such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates for Stock and Awards as
it deems appropriate.

     (b) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Stock certificates to grantees under
this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock
transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United
States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee's last known address on
file with the Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed delivered for all
purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the Company shall have
given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of receipt) or by United
States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee's last known address on
file with the Company,

                                       15

<PAGE>

notice of issuance and recorded the issuance in its records (which may include
electronic "book entry" records).

     (c) Other Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing
contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this
Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to
continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

     (d) Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises and other Awards under
the Plan shall be subject to such Company's insider trading policy and
procedures, as in effect from time to time.

     (e) Forfeiture of Awards under Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If the Company is
required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance
of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting
requirement under the securities laws, then any grantee who is one of the
individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall reimburse the Company for the amount of any
Award received by such individual under the Plan during the 12-month period
following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, of the financial document embodying
such financial reporting requirement.

SECTION 17. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN

     This Plan shall become effective upon approval by the holders of a majority
of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present or
pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. No grants of Stock Options and
other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
Effective Date and no grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made hereunder
after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is approved by the
Board.

SECTION 18. GOVERNING LAW

     This Plan and all Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by,
and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, applied
without regard to conflict of law principles.

                               IROBOT CORPORATION

      INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT -- INCORPORATED TERMS AND CONDITIONS

     1. Grant Under Plan. This option is granted pursuant to and is governed by
the Company's 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time
(the "Plan") and, unless the context otherwise requires, terms used herein shall
have the same meaning as in the Plan.

     2. Grant as Incentive Stock Option. This option is intended to qualify as
an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder (the "Code").

     3. Vesting of Option.

          (a) Vesting if Business Relationship Continues. The Optionee may
     exercise this option on or after the date of this option grant for the
     number of shares of Common Stock, if any, set forth (or, to the extent
     applicable, derived from the percentages set forth) on the cover page
     hereof. If the Optionee has continuously maintained a Business Relationship
     (as defined below) with the Company through the dates listed on the vesting
     schedule set forth on the cover page hereof, the Optionee may exercise this
     option for the additional number of shares of Common Stock set opposite the
     applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in
     its discretion, accelerate the date that any installment of this option
     becomes exercisable. The foregoing rights are cumulative and may be
     exercised only before the date which is seven years from the date of this
     option grant.

          (b) For purposes hereof, "Business Relationship" shall mean service to
     the Company or its successor in the capacity of an employee, officer,
     director or consultant.

     4. Termination of Business Relationship.

          (a) Termination. If the Optionee's Business Relationship with the
     Company ceases, voluntarily or involuntarily, with or without cause, no
     further installments of this option shall become exercisable, and this
     option shall expire (may no longer be exercised) after the passage of 90
     days from the date of termination, but in no event later than the scheduled
     expiration date. Any determination under this agreement as to the status of
     a Business Relationship or other matters referred to above shall be made in
     good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

          (b) Employment Status. For purposes hereof, with respect to employees
     of the Company, employment shall not be considered as having terminated
     during any leave of absence if such leave of absence has been approved in
     writing by the Company and if such written approval contractually obligates
     the Company to continue the employment of the Optionee after the approved
     period of absence; in the event of such an approved leave of absence,
     vesting of this option shall be suspended (and the period of the leave of
     written approval of the leave of absence. For purposes hereof, a
     termination of

<PAGE>

                                      -2-

     employment followed by another Business Relationship shall be deemed a
     termination of the Business Relationship with all vesting to cease unless
     the Company enters into a written agreement related to such other Business
     Relationship in which it is specifically stated that there is no
     termination of the Business Relationship under this agreement. This option
     shall not be affected by any change of employment within or among the
     Company and its Subsidiaries so long as the Optionee continuously remains
     an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary.

     5. Death; Disability.

          (a) Death. Upon the death of the Optionee while the Optionee is
     maintaining a Business Relationship with the Company, this option may be
     exercised, to the extent otherwise exercisable on the date of the
     Optionee's death, by the Optionee's estate, personal representative or
     beneficiary to whom this option has been transferred pursuant to Section 9,
     only at any time within 180 days after the date of death, but not later
     than the scheduled expiration date.

          (b) Disability. If the Optionee ceases to maintain a Business
     Relationship with the Company by reason of his or her disability, this
     option may be exercised, to the extent otherwise exercisable on the date of
     cessation of the Business Relationship, only at any time within 180 days
     after such cessation of the Business Relationship, but not later than the
     scheduled expiration date. For purposes hereof, "disability" means
     "permanent and total disability" as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the
     Code.

     6. Partial Exercise. This option may be exercised in part at any time and
from time to time within the above limits, except that this option may not be
exercised for a fraction of a share.

     7. Payment of Exercise Price. The exercise price shall be paid by one or
any combination of the following forms of payment that are applicable to this
option, as indicated on the cover page hereof:

          (i)  by cash, certified check or bank check payable to the order of
               the Company; or

          (ii) by delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking,
               satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, by a
               creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient
               funds to pay the exercise price, or delivery by the Optionee to
               the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional
               instructions, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company,
               to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash
               or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; or

          (iii) by delivery of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value
               equal as of the date of exercise to the option price. To the
               extent required to avoid variable accounting treatment under FAS
               123R or other applicable

<PAGE>

                                      -3-

               accounting rules, such shares shall have been owned by the
               Optionee free of any substantial forfeiture for at least six
               months.

          In the case of (iii) above, fair market value as of the date of
     exercise shall be determined as of the last business day for which such
     prices or quotes are available prior to the date of exercise and shall mean
     (i) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the
     principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded,
     if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or
     (ii) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the
     Nasdaq National Market (or successor trading system), if the Common Stock
     is not then traded on a national securities exchange.

     8. Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
agreement, this option may be exercised by written notice to the Company at its
principal executive office, or to such transfer agent as the Company shall
designate. Such notice shall state the election to exercise this option and the
number of Shares for which it is being exercised and shall be signed by the
person or persons so exercising this option. Such notice shall be accompanied by
payment of the full purchase price of such shares, and the Company shall deliver
a certificate or certificates representing such shares as soon as practicable
after the notice shall be received. Such certificate or certificates shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising this option (or,
if this option shall be exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this option, shall be registered in the name of
the Optionee and another person jointly, with right of survivorship). In the
event this option shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 5 hereof, by any
person or persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by
appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise this
option.

     9. Option Not Transferable. This option is not transferable or assignable
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the Optionee's
lifetime only the Optionee can exercise this option.

     10. No Obligation to Exercise Option. The grant and acceptance of this
option imposes no obligation on the Optionee to exercise it.

     11. No Obligation to Continue Business Relationship. Neither the Plan, this
agreement, nor the grant of this option imposes any obligation on the Company to
continue the Optionee in employment or other Business Relationship.

     12. Adjustments. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan with respect
to certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, no adjustment shall be
made for dividends or similar rights for which the record date is prior to such
date of exercise.

     13. Withholding Taxes. If the Company in its discretion determines that it
is obligated to withhold any tax in connection with the exercise of this option,
or in connection with the transfer of, or the lapse of restrictions on, any
Common Stock or other property acquired pursuant to this option, the Optionee
hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration the appropriate amount of tax. At the discretion of the

<PAGE>

                                       -4-

Company, the amount required to be withheld may be withheld in cash from such
wages or other remuneration or in kind from the Common Stock or other property
otherwise deliverable to the Optionee on exercise of this option. The Optionee
further agrees that, if the Company does not withhold an amount from the
Optionee's wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the withholding
obligation of the Company, the Optionee will make reimbursement on demand, in
cash, for the amount underwithheld. In the event withholding is satisfied in
kind, only the minimum amount of required withholding shall be made.

     14. Early Disposition. The Optionee agrees to notify the Company in writing
immediately after the Optionee transfers any Shares, if such transfer occurs on
or before the later of (a) the date that is two years after the date of this
agreement or (b) the date that is one year after the date on which the Optionee
acquired such Shares. The Optionee also agrees to provide tax purposes.

     15. Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, in
connection with, or relating to the performance of this agreement or its
termination shall be settled by arbitration in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, pursuant to the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration
Association. Any award shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties
and a judgment rendered thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.

     16. Provision of Documentation to Optionee. By signing this agreement the
Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of this agreement and a copy of the
Plan.

     17. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
     deemed given when sent by mail, if to the Optionee, to the address set
     forth on the cover page or at the address shown on the records of the
     Company, and if to the Company, to the Company's principal executive
     offices, attention of the Corporate Secretary.

          (b) Entire Agreement; Modification. This agreement constitutes the
     entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof,
     and supersedes all proposals, written or oral, and all other communications
     between the parties relating to the subject matter of this agreement. This
     agreement may be modified, amended or rescinded only by a written agreement
     executed by both parties.

          (c) Fractional Shares. If this option becomes exercisable for a
     fraction of a share because of the adjustment provisions contained in the
     Plan, such fraction shall be rounded down.

          (d) Issuances of Securities; Changes in Capital Structure. Except as
     expressly provided herein or in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of
     shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of
     stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
     be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to this
     option. No adjustments need be made for dividends paid in cash or in
     property other than securities of the Company. If there shall be any change
     in the Common Stock of the Company through merger, consolidation,
     reorganization,

<PAGE>

                                      -5-

                               IROBOT CORPORATION

    NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT -- INCORPORATED TERMS AND CONDITIONS

     1. Grant Under Plan. This option is granted pursuant to and is governed by
the Company's 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time
(the "Plan") and, unless the context otherwise requires, terms used herein shall
have the same meaning as in the Plan.

     2. Designation of Option. This Option is intended to be a Nonstatutory
Stock Option and is not intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option as
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the
regulations thereunder (the "Code").

     3. Vesting of Option.

          (a) Vesting if Business Relationship Continues. The Optionee may
     exercise this option on or after the date of this option grant for the
     number of shares of Common Stock, if any, set forth (or, to the extent
     applicable, derived from the percentages set forth) on the cover page
     hereof. If the Optionee has continuously maintained a Business Relationship
     (as defined below) with the Company through the dates listed on the vesting
     schedule set forth on the cover page hereof, the Optionee may exercise this
     option for the additional number of shares of Common Stock set opposite the
     applicable vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in
     its discretion, accelerate the date that any installment of this option
     becomes exercisable. The foregoing rights are cumulative and may be
     exercised only before the date which is seven years from the date of this
     option grant.

          (b) For purposes hereof, "Business Relationship" shall mean service to
     the Company or its successor in the capacity of an employee, officer,
     director or consultant.

     4. Termination of Business Relationship.

          (a) Termination. If the Optionee's Business Relationship with the
     Company ceases, voluntarily or involuntarily, with or without cause, no
     further installments of this option shall become exercisable, and this
     option shall expire (may no longer be exercised) after the passage of three
     months from the date of termination, but in no event later than the
     scheduled expiration date. Any determination under this agreement as to the
     status of a Business Relationship or other matters referred to above shall
     be made in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

          (b) Employment Status. For purposes hereof, with respect to employees
     of the Company, employment shall not be considered as having terminated
     during any leave of absence if such leave of absence has been approved in
     writing by the Company and if such written approval contractually obligates
     the Company to continue the employment of the Optionee after the approved
     period of absence; in the event of such an approved leave

<PAGE>

                                       -2-

     of absence, vesting of this option shall be suspended (and the period of
     the leave of absence shall be added to all vesting dates) unless otherwise
     provided in the Company's written approval of the leave of absence. For
     purposes hereof, a termination of employment followed by another Business
     Relationship shall be deemed a termination of the Business Relationship
     with all vesting to cease unless the Company enters into a written
     agreement related to such other Business Relationship in which it is
     specifically stated that there is no termination of the Business
     Relationship under this agreement. This option shall not be affected by any
     change of employment within or among the Company and its Subsidiaries so
     long as the Optionee continuously remains an employee of the Company or any
     Subsidiary.

     5. Death; Disability.

          (a) Death. Upon the death of the Optionee while the Optionee is
     maintaining a Business Relationship with the Company, this option may be
     exercised, to the extent otherwise exercisable on the date of the
     Optionee's death, by the Optionee's estate, personal representative or
     beneficiary to whom this option has been transferred pursuant to Section 9,
     only at any time within 180 days after the date of death, but not later
     than the scheduled expiration date.

          (b) Disability. If the Optionee ceases to maintain a Business
     Relationship with the Company by reason of his or her disability, this
     option may be exercised, to the extent otherwise exercisable on the date of
     cessation of the Business Relationship, only at any time within 180 days
     after such cessation of the Business Relationship, but not later than the
     scheduled expiration date. For purposes hereof, "disability" means
     "permanent and total disability" as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the
     Code.

     6. Partial Exercise. This option may be exercised in part at any time and
from time to time within the above limits, except that this option may not be
exercised for a fraction of a share.

     7. Payment of Exercise Price. The exercise price shall be paid by one or
any combination of the following forms of payment that are applicable to this
option, as indicated on the cover page hereof:

          (i)  by cash, certified check or bank check payable to the order of
               the Company; or

          (ii) by delivery of an irrevocable and unconditional undertaking,
               satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, by a
               creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company sufficient
               funds to pay the exercise price, or delivery by the Optionee to
               the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional
               instructions, satisfactory in form and substance to the Company,
               to a creditworthy broker to deliver promptly to the Company cash
               or a check sufficient to pay the exercise price; or

<PAGE>

                                       -3-

          (iii) by delivery of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value
               equal as of the date of exercise to the option price. To the
               extent required to avoid variable accounting treatment under FAS
               123R or other applicable accounting rules, such shares shall have
               been owned by the Optionee free of any substantial risk of
               forfeiture for at least six months.

          In the case of (iii) above, fair market value as of the date of
     exercise shall be determined as of the last business day for which such
     prices or quotes are available prior to the date of exercise and shall mean
     (i) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the
     principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded,
     if the Common Stock is then traded on a national securities exchange; or
     (ii) the last reported sale price (on that date) of the Common Stock on the
     Nasdaq National Market (or successor trading system), if the Common Stock
     is not then traded on a national securities exchange.

     8. Method of Exercising Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
agreement, this option may be exercised by written notice to the Company at its
principal executive office, or to such transfer agent as the Company shall
designate. Such notice shall state the election to exercise this option and the
number of Shares for which it is being exercised and shall be signed by the
person or persons so exercising this option. Such notice shall be accompanied by
payment of the full purchase price of such shares, and the Company shall deliver
a certificate or certificates representing such shares as soon as practicable
after the notice shall be received. Such certificate or certificates shall be
registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising this option (or,
if this option shall be exercised by the Optionee and if the Optionee shall so
request in the notice exercising this option, shall be registered in the name of
the Optionee and another person jointly, with right of survivorship). In the
event this option shall be exercised, pursuant to Section 5 hereof, by any
person or persons other than the Optionee, such notice shall be accompanied by
appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise this
option.

     9. Option Not Transferable. This option is not transferable or assignable
except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. During the Optionee's
lifetime only the Optionee can exercise this option.

     10. No Obligation to Exercise Option. The grant and acceptance of this
option imposes no obligation on the Optionee to exercise it.

     11. No Obligation to Continue Business Relationship. Neither the Plan, this
agreement, nor the grant of this option imposes any obligation on the Company to
continue the Optionee in employment or other Business Relationship.

     12. Adjustments. Except as is expressly provided in the Plan with respect
to certain changes in the capitalization of the Company, no adjustment shall be
made for dividends or similar rights for which the record date is prior to such
date of exercise.

     13. Withholding Taxes. If the Company in its discretion determines that it
is obligated to withhold any tax in connection with the exercise of this option,
or in connection with the transfer of, or the lapse of restrictions on, any
Common Stock or other property acquired pursuant to this option, the Optionee
hereby agrees that the Company may withhold from the Optionee's wages or other
remuneration the appropriate amount of tax. At the discretion of the Company,
the amount required to be withheld may be withheld in cash from such wages or
other remuneration or in kind from the Common Stock or other property otherwise
deliverable to the Optionee on exercise of this option. The Optionee further
agrees that, if the Company does not withhold an amount from the Optionee's
wages or other remuneration sufficient to satisfy the withholding obligation of
the Company, the Optionee will make reimbursement on demand, in cash, for the
amount underwithheld. In the event withholding is satisfied in kind, only the
minimum amount of required withholding shall be made.

     14. Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, in
connection with, or relating to the performance of this agreement or its
termination shall be settled by arbitration in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, pursuant to the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration
Association. Any award shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the parties
and a judgment rendered thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.

     15. Provision of Documentation to Optionee. By signing this agreement the
Optionee acknowledges receipt of a copy of this agreement and a copy of the
Plan.

     16. Miscellaneous.

          (a) Notices. All notices hereunder shall be in writing and shall be
     deemed given when sent by mail, if to the Optionee, to the address set
     forth on the cover page or at the address shown on the records of the
     Company, and if to the Company, to the Company's principal executive
     offices, attention of the Corporate Secretary.

          (b) Entire Agreement; Modification. This agreement constitutes the
     entire agreement between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof,
     and supersedes all proposals, written or oral, and all other communications
     between the parties relating to the subject matter of this agreement. This
     agreement may be modified, amended or rescinded only by a written agreement
     executed by both parties.

          (c) Fractional Shares. If this option becomes exercisable for a
     fraction of a share because of the adjustment provisions contained in the
     Plan, such fraction shall be rounded down.

          (d) Issuances of Securities; Changes in Capital Structure. Except as
     expressly provided herein or in the Plan, no issuance by the Company of
     shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of
     stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall
     be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to this
     option. No adjustments need be made for dividends paid in cash or in

<PAGE>

                                       -5-

     property other than securities of the Company. If there shall be any change
     in the Common Stock of the Company through merger, consolidation,
     reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, combination
     or exchange of shares, spin-off, split-up or other similar change in

     received by the Optionee in exchange for, or by virtue of his or her
     ownership of, Shares, except as otherwise determined by the Board.

          (e) Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of
     any provision of this agreement shall in no way affect the validity,
     legality or enforceability of any other provision.

          (f) Successors and Assigns. This agreement shall be binding upon and
     inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
     and assigns, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9 hereof.

     in accordance with the laws of the state of Delaware, without giving effect
     to the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof.
