	New York, New York
	 	August 31, 2007

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of note purchases from, or credit otherwise extended
or to be extended by Kallina Corporation (“Lender”) to or for the account of Applied Digital
Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), from time to time and at any time and for
other good and valuable consideration and to induce Lender, in its discretion, to purchase such
notes or make other extensions of credit and to make or grant such renewals, extensions, releases
of collateral or relinquishments of legal rights as Lender may deem advisable, each of the
undersigned (and each of them if more than one, the liability under this Guaranty being joint and
several) (jointly and severally referred to as “Guarantors “ or “the undersigned”) unconditionally
guaranties to Lender, its successors, endorsees and assigns the prompt payment when due (whether by
acceleration or otherwise) of all present and future obligations and liabilities of any and all
kinds of the Company to Lender and of all instruments of any nature evidencing or relating to any
such obligations and liabilities upon which the Company or one or more parties and the Company is
or may become liable to Lender, whether incurred by the Company as maker, endorser, drawer,
acceptor, guarantors , accommodation party or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, secured
or unsecured, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and however or whenever acquired by Lender,
whether arising under, out of, or in connection with (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement
dated as of the date hereof by and between the Company and Lender (the “Securities Purchase
Agreement”) and (ii) each Related Agreement (other than the Registration Rights Agreement) referred
to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement and each Related
Agreement, as each may be amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, are
collectively referred to herein as the “Documents”), or any documents, instruments or agreements
relating to or executed in connection with the Documents or any documents, instruments or
agreements referred to therein or otherwise, or any other obligations or liabilities of the Company
to Lender, whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect, liquidated or
unliquidated, absolute or contingent, due or not due and whether under, pursuant to or evidenced by
a note, agreement, guaranty, instrument or otherwise (all of which are herein collectively referred
to as the “Obligations”), and irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of such Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or of
any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the
allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of the Obligations in any case commenced by
or against the Company under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation,
obligations or indebtedness of the Company for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that
would have accrued or been added to the Obligations but for the commencement of such case. Terms
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned such terms in the Securities Purchase
Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:

 

 

 

1. No Impairment. Lender may at any time and from time to time, either before or
after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the undersigned, extend the
time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, renew or extend any of the
Obligations or increase or decrease the interest rate thereon, or any other agreement with the
Company or with any other party to or person liable on any of the Obligations, or interested
therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or
in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between Lender and the
Company or any such other party or person, or make any election of rights Lender may deem desirable
under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy,
reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally (any of the foregoing, an “Insolvency Law”) without in any way impairing or
affecting this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall be effective regardless of the subsequent
incorporation, merger or consolidation of the Company, or any change in the composition, nature,
personnel or location of the Company and shall extend to any successor entity to the Company,
including a debtor in possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.

2. Guaranty Absolute. Subject to Section 5(c) hereof, each of the undersigned jointly
and severally guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
the Documents and/or any other document, instrument or agreement creating or evidencing the
Obligations, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Company with respect thereto.
Guarantors hereby knowingly accept the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of
“continuing guaranty” which risk includes the possibility that the Company will contract additional
obligations and liabilities for which Guarantors may be liable hereunder after the Company’s
financial condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated, whether
or not the Company has properly authorized incurring such additional obligations and liabilities.
The undersigned acknowledge that (i) no oral representations, including any representations to
extend credit or provide other financial accommodations to the Company, have been made by Lender to
induce the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of credit to the Company
shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Documents. The liability of each of the
undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, in accordance with its terms,
and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended,
discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever,
including, without limitation: (a) any waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or
modification of or addition, consent or supplement to or deletion from or any other action or
inaction under or in respect of the Documents or any other instruments or agreements relating to
the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or
enforceability of any Document or other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the
Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (c) any furnishing of any additional
security to Lender or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by
Lender or its assignees, (d) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligation under the
Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any
assignment or transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part,
of any such document, instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating
to the Company, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by
any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the undersigned shall have notice or knowledge of
any of the

 

2

 

foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release, or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the
Obligations or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to,
or a discharge of, the undersigned. Any amounts due from the undersigned to Lender shall bear
interest until such amounts are paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the
Obligations. Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not allowed or allowable.

3. Waivers.

(a) This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Lender shall be
under no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or remedies or take any other action
against the Company or any other person or entity liable with respect to any of the
Obligations or resort to any collateral security held by it to secure any of the Obligations
as a condition precedent to the undersigned being obligated to perform as agreed herein and
each of the Guarantors hereby waives any and all rights which it may have by statute or
otherwise which would require Lender to do any of the foregoing. Each of the Guarantors
further consents and agrees that Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets
in favor of Guarantors, or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. The
undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose any defense,
counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the undersigned may have or which
may exist between and among Lender, the Company and/or the undersigned with respect to the
undersigned’s obligations under this Guaranty, or which the Company may assert on the
underlying debt, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty,
fraud, payment (other than cash payment in full of the Obligations), statute of frauds,
bankruptcy, infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury.

(b) Each of the undersigned further waives (i) notice of the acceptance of this
Guaranty, of the extensions of credit, and of all notices and demands of any kind to which
the undersigned may be entitled, including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in
the Company’s financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the
risk of the undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever
liable upon any of the Obligations, protest, notices of presentment, non-payment or protest
and notice of any sale of collateral security or any default of any sort.

(c) Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the undersigned hereunder, or any
setoff or application of funds of the undersigned by Lender, the undersigned shall not be
entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Lender against the Company or against any
collateral or guarantee or right of offset held by Lender for the payment of the
Obligations, nor shall the undersigned seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or
reimbursement from the Company in respect of payments made by the undersigned hereunder,
until all amounts owing to Lender by the Company on account of the Obligations are
indefeasibly paid in full and Lender’s obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Documents
has been irrevocably terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be
paid to the undersigned on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the
Obligations shall not have been paid in full and Lender’s obligation to extend credit
pursuant to the Documents shall not have been

 

3

 

terminated, such amount shall be held by the undersigned in trust for Lender,
segregated from other funds of the undersigned, and shall forthwith upon, and in any event
within two (2) business days of, receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to Lender in the
exact form received by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to Lender, if
required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such
order as Lender may determine, subject to the provisions of the Documents. Any and all
present and future obligations and liabilities of the Company to any of the undersigned are
hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment and
performance of, all Obligations of the Company to Lender.

4. Security. All sums at any time to the credit of the undersigned and any property
of the undersigned in Lender’s possession or in the possession of any bank, financial institution
or other entity that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is
controlled by, or is under common control with, Lender (each such entity, an “Affiliate”) shall be
deemed held by Lender or such Affiliate, as the case may be, as security for any and all of the
undersigned’s obligations and liabilities to Lender and to any Affiliate of Lender, no matter how
or when arising and whether under this or any other instrument, agreement or otherwise.

5. Representations and Warranties. Each of the undersigned hereby jointly and
severally represents and warrants that, except as set forth in the Companies’ Disclosure Schedules
attached to the Security Agreement or in the Exchange Act Filings with respect to those
representations and warranties set forth below that have parallel representations and warranties
set forth in the Security Agreement which permit exceptions as set forth in the Companies’
Disclosure Schedules and/or the Exchange Act Filings:

(a) Corporate Status. It is a corporation, partnership or limited liability
company, as the case may be, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of formation indicated on the signature page hereof and has full
power, authority and legal right to own its property and assets and to transact the business
in which it is engaged.

(b) Authority and Execution. It has full power, authority and legal right to
execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Guaranty and has taken all
necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, action to
authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty.

(c) Legal, Valid and Binding Character. This Guaranty constitutes its legal,
valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or other laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditor’s
rights and general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal
remedies.

(d) Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will
not violate any requirement of law applicable to it or any contract, agreement or instrument
to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or result in the
creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien or other encumbrance other than in favor
of Lender on any of its property or assets pursuant to the provisions of any of the
foregoing, which, in any of the foregoing cases, could reasonably be expected to have,
either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4

 

(e) Consents or Approvals. No consent of any other person or entity
(including, without limitation, any creditor of the undersigned) and no consent, license,
permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration,
filing or declaration with, any governmental authority is required in connection with the
execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty by it, except
to the extent that the failure to obtain any of the foregoing could not reasonably be
expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Litigation. No litigation, arbitration, investigation or administrative
proceeding of or before any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, bureau or agency is
currently pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened (i) with respect to this
Guaranty or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty or (ii) against or
affecting it, or any of its property or assets, which, in each of the foregoing cases, if
adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(g) Financial Benefit. It has derived or expects to derive a financial or
other advantage from each and every loan, advance or extension of credit made under the
Documents or other Obligation incurred by the Company to Lender.

(h) Solvency. As of the date of this Guaranty, (a) the fair value of its
property is greater than the total amount of its liabilities, including contingent
liabilities; (b) the present fair salable value of its assets is not less than the amount
that will be required to pay its probable liability on its debts as they become absolute and
matured; (c) it does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts or
liabilities beyond it’s ability to pay as such debts and liabilities mature; and (d) it is
not engaged in a business or transaction, and is not about to engage in a business or
transaction, for which it’s property would constitute an unreasonably small capital.

6. Acceleration.

(a) If (i) any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under any of the
Documents (other than the Registration Rights Agreement), (ii) any of the undersigned shall
apply for, consent to or suffer to exist the appointment of, or the taking of possession by,
a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator of itself or of all or a substantial part of
its property, make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, commence a voluntary
case under the federal bankruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect), be adjudicated a
bankrupt or insolvent, file a petition seeking to take advantage of any other law providing
for the relief of debtors, acquiesce to without challenge within ten (10) days of the filing
thereof, or failure to have dismissed within thirty (30) days, any petition filed against it
in any involuntary case under such bankruptcy laws, or take any action for the purpose of
effecting any of the foregoing; (ii) if a notice of any lien, levy, or

 

5

 

assessment in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate is filed of record with respect to
any assets of any of the undersigned by the United States of America or any department,
agency, or instrumentality thereof and such levy or assessment is not paid, vacated,
discharged, stayed or bonded within thirty (30) days from the entry thereof, or (iv) if any
material taxes or material debts owing at any time or times hereafter to any one of them
becomes a lien or encumbrance upon a material portion of any assets of the undersigned in
Lender’s possession, , any and all Obligations shall for purposes hereof, at Lender’s
option, be deemed due and payable without notice notwithstanding that any such Obligation is
not then due and payable by the Company.

(b) Each of the undersigned will promptly notify Lender of any default by such
undersigned in its respective performance or observance of any term or condition of any
material agreement for indebtedness to which the undersigned is a party if the effect of
such default is to cause, or permit the holder of any obligation under such material
agreement to cause, such monetary obligation to become due prior to its stated maturity and,
if such an event occurs, Lender shall have the right to accelerate such undersigned’s
obligations hereunder.

7. Payments from Guarantors. Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, with or
without notice to the undersigned, may apply on account of the Obligations any payment from the
undersigned or any other guarantors, or amounts realized from any security for the Obligations, or
may deposit any and all such amounts realized in a non-interest bearing cash collateral deposit
account to be maintained as security for the Obligations.

8. Costs. The undersigned shall pay on demand, all costs, fees and expenses
(including expenses for legal services of every kind) relating or incidental to the enforcement or
protection of the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the Obligations.

9. No Termination. This is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall remain in full
force and effect and be binding upon the undersigned, and each of the undersigned’s successors and
assigns, until all of the obligations under the Note have been indefeasibly paid in full and
Lender’s obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Documents has been irrevocably terminated. If
any of the present or future Obligations are guarantied by persons, partnerships, corporations or
other entities in addition to the undersigned, the death, release or discharge in whole or in part
or the bankruptcy, merger, consolidation, incorporation, liquidation or dissolution of one or more
of them shall not discharge or affect the liabilities of any undersigned under this Guaranty.

10. Recapture. Anything in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, if Lender
receives any payment or payments on account of the liabilities guaranteed hereby, which payment or
payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party
under any Insolvency Law, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not
finally retained by Lender, the undersigned’s obligations to Lender shall be reinstated and this
Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been
made to Lender, which payment shall be due on demand.

 

6

 

11. Books and Records. The books and records of Lender showing the account between
Lender and the Company shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, shall be
binding upon the undersigned for the purpose of establishing the items therein set forth and shall
constitute prima facie proof thereof.

12. No Waiver. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise by Lender of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or
future exercise of any other legal right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power
hereby granted to Lender or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time.

THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HERETO WAIVES ALL
RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER
ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN LENDER, AND/OR ANY OF THE UNDERSIGNED ARISING OUT

THAT EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD
BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK; AND FURTHER
PROVIDED, THAT NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE LENDER FROM
BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE OBLIGATIONS, TO
REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR
OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF LENDER. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN
ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH

WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR
SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED

THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.

15. Understanding With Respect to Waivers and Consents. Each Guarantor warrants and
agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth in this Guaranty is made voluntarily and
unconditionally after consultation with outside legal counsel and with full knowledge of its
significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense or
right waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which such Guarantor
otherwise may have against the Company, Lender or any other person or entity or against any
collateral. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties that the terms of this Guaranty shall
control in any and all circumstances, any such waivers or consents are determined to be
unenforceable under applicable law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum
extent permitted by law.

16. Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of this
Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

17. Amendments, Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor
consent to any departure by the undersigned therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the
same shall be in writing executed by each of the undersigned directly affected by such amendment
and/or waiver and Lender.

18. Notice. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the undersigned, shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (a) when delivered, if by hand, (b)
three (3) days after being sent, postage prepaid, if by registered or certified mail, (c) when
confirmed electronically, if by facsimile, or (d) when delivered, if by a recognized overnight
delivery service in each event, to the numbers and/or address set forth beneath the signature of
the undersigned.

19. Successors. Lender may, from time to time, without notice to the undersigned,
sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Obligations and/or rights
under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may assign, or grant
participations to, one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities all or any part of
any of the Obligations. In each such event, Lender, its Affiliates and each and every immediate
and successive purchaser, assignee, transferee or holder of all or any part of the Obligations
shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty, by legal action or otherwise, for its own benefit as
fully as if such purchaser, assignee, transferee or holder were herein by name specifically given
such
right. Lender shall have an unimpaired right to enforce this Guaranty for its benefit with
respect to that portion of the Obligations which Lender has not disposed of, sold, assigned, or
otherwise transferred.

 

8

 

20. Joinder. It is understood and agreed that any person or entity that desires to
become a Guarantor hereunder, or is required to execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the
date hereof pursuant to the requirements of any Document, shall become a Guarantor hereunder by (x)
executing a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, (y) delivering
supplements to such exhibits and annexes to such Documents as Lender shall reasonably request
and/or as may be required by such joinder agreement and (z) taking all actions as specified in this
Guaranty as would have been taken by such such Guarantor had it been an original party to this
Guaranty, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to Lender and with all
documents and actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender.

21. Release. Nothing except indefeasible payment in full of the obligations under the
Note shall release any of the undersigned from liability under this Guaranty.

22. Remedies Not Exclusive. The remedies conferred upon Lender in this Guaranty are
intended to be in addition to, and not in limitation of any other remedy or remedies available to
Lender under applicable law or otherwise.

23. Limitation of Obligations under this Guaranty. Each Guarantor and Lender (by its
acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this
Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code,
the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act of any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, each Guarantor and Lender (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty)
hereby irrevocably agrees that the Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to
such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or
otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect
to any rights to contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution
among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors (including this Guaranty), result in the Obligations
of such Guarantor under this Guaranty in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

24. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument. It is understood
and agreed that if facsimile copies of this Guaranty bearing facsimile signatures are exchanged
between the parties hereto, such copies shall in all respects have the same weight, force and legal
effect and shall be fully as valid, binding, and enforceable as if such signed facsimile copies
were original documents bearing original signature.

25. Repayment of Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
upon the indefeasible payment in full of the obligations under the Note in immediately available
funds, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be without further force or effect

Mentor Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (the “Corporation”), establishes this Amended and
Restated 2007 Strategic Equity Incentive Plan as of September 18, 2007 (the “Sub-Plan”) under the
Mentor Corporation 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms not defined
herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

1. Participants. The participants in the Sub-Plan shall be those key employees of the
Corporation listed on Exhibit A, as amended from time to time, who are Eligible Persons under the
Plan.

2. Options. Awards under the Sub-Plan shall be nonqualified stock options to acquire the
number of shares of Common Stock as indicated on Exhibit A. Each participant shall receive a
notice in the form of Exhibit B (the “Notice”) indicating the participant’s option grant.
Administrator action shall be required to effect the grant of options.

3. Terms of Option.

(a) Exercise Price. Options shall be granted at a premium to fair market value.
Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the per share exercise price shall be as set forth
in the Notice.

(b) Vesting. Options shall vest and become exercisable, if at all, based upon the
Corporation’s achievement of fiscal year earnings per share (“EPS”) targets specified in the Notice
over a four (4) fiscal year performance period. The Administrator may adjust the EPS targets as
necessary to prevent the enlargement or diminution of participants’ rights in connection with
events described in Section 7.1 of the Plan.

(i) Fiscal Year Vesting. With respect to each fiscal year 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011,
a percentage of the shares subject to each then outstanding option granted under the Sub-Plan shall
vest and become exercisable as of the last day of the fiscal year if the relevant EPS target has
been met or exceeded.

Attainment of an EPS target for one fiscal year, or the failure to attain such a target, shall not
affect the ability of a participant to earn the relevant vesting for another fiscal year nor affect
the ability of a participant to vest in the options pursuant to the Catch Up Vesting provisions in
Section 3(b) (ii) below.

(ii) Catch Up Vesting. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3(b)(i) of this
Sub-Plan, in the event the cumulative EPS in fiscal years 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 meets or
exceeds certain thresholds described in the Notice, a percentage of the shares subject to each then
outstanding option granted under the Sub-Plan shall vest and become exercisable as of the last day
of fiscal year 2011 such that the total vesting percentage of such option (including any vesting
that occurred with respect to a prior fiscal year) equals the Cumulative Vesting Percentage as
specified in the Notice.

 

 

 

(iii) Service Requirement. A participant must remain continuously in the employment
or service of the Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries through the last day of the relevant
fiscal year in order to vest in any portion of an option pursuant to Section 3(b)(i) or Section
3(b)(ii).

(c) Term of Options. Options granted under the Sub-Plan shall have a seven (7) year
term. However, in the event a participant’s continuous employment or service with the Corporation
or a Subsidiary terminates for any reason, the participant shall have ninety (90) days to exercise
that portion of the option that was vested as of the termination date (but in no event beyond the
term of the option).

(d) Change in Control. If there is a Change in Control Event, unvested shares subject
to each option granted under the Sub-Plan shall become vested immediately prior to the completion
of the Change in Control Event as follows:

	 	(i)	 	If the Change in Control Event occurs on or before March 31, 2009, the participant shall
become vested in the number of options required to bring the aggregate vesting to fifty percent
(50%) of the options; and
	 
	 	(ii)	 	If the Change in Control Event occurs after March 31, 2009, the participant shall become
vested in a number of options equal to fifty percent (50%) plus the number of vested options
immediately prior to the Change in Control Event, up to a total of one hundred percent (100%).

(e) Exercise of Option. A participant may exercise an option granted under the
Sub-Plan:

	 	(i)	 	With cash, check payable to the order of the Corporation, or electronic funds transfer;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	Through the delivery of previously owned shares of Common Stock; or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Subject to such procedures as the Administrator may adopt, pursuant to a “cashless
exercise” with a third party who provides financing for the purposes of (or who otherwise
facilitates) the purchase or exercise of awards.

4. Amendment or Discontinuance of the Sub-Plan. The Administrator may, insofar as
permitted by law and subject to the limitations contained in the Plan, at any time or from time to
time, suspend or terminate the Sub-Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided,
however, that the rights of participants under any option may not be modified in a sense less
favorable to them without their prior written consent.

5. Matters Not Treated by the Sub-Plan. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions
of this Sub-Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall, as determined by the Administrator, also apply
to options granted under the Sub-Plan.
