Introduction
    
About the Plan
		
	(a)
	Avnet, Inc., a New York corporation, established the Avnet Restoration Plan effective January 1, 2012, to restore certain retirement benefits that cannot be provided under the Avnet Pension Plan, by reason of the limits required by Sections 401(a)(17) and 415 of the Code.

		
	(b)
	The Plan is unfunded and is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management and highly compensated employees.  The Plan shall not be subject to the participation and vesting, funding, or fiduciary requirements (Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I) of ERISA.

		
	(c)
	Benefits due under the Plan shall be payable from the general assets of the Company or, in the sole discretion of the Plan Committee, from the assets of the Employer or a Trust.  All benefits under the Plan are subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors in the event of the Company's bankruptcy or insolvency.        

Effective Date
Except as otherwise expressly provided, the Plan is effective as of January 1, 2012.

However, if the leave of absence is due to any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to last for a continuous period of six months or more, and such impairment causes the individual to be unable to perform the duties of his position of employment or any substantially similar position of employment, the preceding sentence shall be deemed to refer to a 29-month period rather than to a six-month period; and

Article 3
Eligibility, Participation, and Vesting
    

Eligibility and Participation
		
	(a)
	Eligibility to participate in the Plan shall be limited to a select group of management and highly compensated employees who are identified and classified by the Plan Committee as Eligible Employees.

		
	(b)
	An individual who is designated as an Eligible Employee shall enter the Plan as of the date determined by the Plan Committee; provided that such date shall be no earlier than the later of (1) January 1, 2012, or (2) the Participant's most-recent entry date under the Avnet Pension Plan.  The entry date for each Participant shall be as reflected in the Plan's records, unless the Plan Committee or the Board determines that such records reflect an administrative error.

		
	(c)
	If a Participant is entitled to benefits under both this Plan and the SERP, his benefit under the SERP (whether a retirement benefit, disability benefit, or death benefit) shall be offset by his benefit under this Plan.  Such offset shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the SERP.

		
	(d)
	An individual who becomes a Participant shall continue to be a Participant until all benefits payable under the Plan to him and his Beneficiaries have been paid in full.  If a Participant's Separation from Service occurs before his benefit under the Plan has become vested, he shall cease to be a Participant upon such Separation from Service.

Vesting
		
	(a)
	No benefit shall be payable under the Plan unless it has become vested under this Section 3.02 or Section 7.02 (relating to termination of the Plan).  

		
	(b)
	Except as provided in subsection (c), below, or Section 7.02 (relating to termination of the Plan), a Participant shall be vested in his benefit under the Plan only if his Retirement Income under the Avnet Pension Plan is vested.  If the Participant is not vested at the time of his Separation from Service, his Restoration Account shall be forfeited.

		
	(c)
	If a Participant's employment with the Company and Affiliates is terminated involuntarily and without Cause within two years after a Change of Control, his benefit under the Plan shall be vested.

Article 4
Amount and Payment of Benefits
    

Amount of Benefits
A Participant's benefit under the Plan is expressed as the balance of his Restoration Account.  Such balance shall equal the sum of the Participant's accumulated Restoration Contribution Credits and Interest Credits, as described in this Section 4.01.
		
	(a)
	Restoration Contribution Credits.  A Restoration Contribution Credit shall be added to each Eligible Employee's Restoration Account for each Plan Year in which the Eligible Employee is both an Eligible Employee and a Participant in the Plan.  Such Restoration Contribution Credit shall be added as of the same time as the Contribution Credit for such Plan Year is added to the Eligible Employee's Cash Balance Account under the Avnet Pension Plan, and shall be equal to the excess, if any, of--

		
	(1)
	The Contribution Credit that would be added to the Eligible Employee's Cash Balance Account under the Avnet Pension Plan for such Plan Year if not for the Qualified Plan Limits, less

		
	(2)
	The actual Contribution Credit added to the Eligible Employee's Cash Balance Account under the Avnet Pension Plan for such Plan Year.

		
	(b)
	Interest Credits.

		
	(1)
	For each Plan Year that ends before a Participant's Payment Date, an Interest Credit shall be added to his Restoration Account as of the last day of such Plan Year.  Such Interest Credit shall be equal to the Interest Crediting Rate for such Plan Year times the balance of the Participant's Restoration Account as of the first day of such Plan Year.

		
	(2)
	For the Plan Year in which the Participant's Payment Date occurs, an Interest Credit shall be added to his Restoration Account immediately before his Payment Date.  Such Interest Credit shall be equal to the amount described in paragraph (1), above, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full calendar months elapsed during such Plan Year before the Participant's Payment Date and the denominator of which is 12.

Form and Time of Payment
A Participant's vested benefit under the Plan (if any) shall be paid as follows:
		
	(a)
	Except as required by subsection (b), below (relating to participants in the SERP), such Participant's vested benefit shall be paid in a lump sum on the later of--

		
	(1)
	The first business day of the seventh calendar month that begins after the Participant's Separation from Service, or 

		
	(2)
	The first business day of the first calendar month that starts after the Participant's 55th birthday.

	
		
	Avnet Restoration Plan
	 

	2013 Restatement
	Page 7

		
	(b)
	If the Participant is also a participant in the SERP, his vested benefit under the Plan shall be paid at the time and in the form prescribed by the SERP.  Except as otherwise provided by the SERP in the case of disability (and subject to Section 4.04 (Death Benefits)), such vested benefit shall be paid as follows:

		
	(1)
	The balance of the Participant's Restoration Account shall be converted to an actuarially equivalent series of 120 equal monthly installments, payable over 10 years, commencing as of the Participant's “payment calculation date” under the SERP.  The amount of such monthly installments shall be calculated using the “present value interest factor” prescribed by the SERP as of the “payment calculation date” under the SERP.

		
	(2)
	The Participant shall receive 24 monthly payments, each equal to the monthly amount calculated under paragraph (1), above, commencing at the time prescribed by the SERP.  The six-month delay rule required by Section 409A of the Code shall be administered in the same manner as prescribed by the SERP: each monthly installment that is required to be delayed shall be paid at the time prescribed by the SERP, with interest to the extent prescribed by the SERP.

		
	(3)
	On the date prescribed by the SERP, the present value of the remaining 96 payments shall be paid in a lump sum.  Such present value shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by the SERP, using the same interest factor as is used for the calculation described in paragraph (1), above.  (To the extent that the SERP requires payment in the form of 120 monthly installments, the benefit under this Plan shall also be paid in 120 monthly installments, and each installment shall be equal to the amount required by paragraph (1), above.)

Rehired Employees
The time of payment of benefits to any Participant who has had a Separation from Service shall not be affected in any way by a subsequent rehire.  For example, if a Participant has a bona fide Separation from Service and is subsequently rehired, the vested benefit (if any) that accrued before such rehire shall be paid at the time and in the form prescribed by Section 4.02, above, without regard to the Participant's rehire.
Death Benefits
		
	(a)
	If a Participant dies before his Payment Date, the only benefit payable under the Plan shall be a lump-sum payment to the Participant's Beneficiary.  Such payment shall be equal to the vested balance, if any, of the Participant's Restoration Account and, subject to subsection (b), below, shall be made within 90 days after the Participant's death. 

		
	(b)
	If a Participant is also a participant in the SERP, and such Participant dies after his Separation from Service and before the last payment required by Section 4.02(b) is made, the payments required by Section 4.02(b) (or, if such payments have already started, any remaining payments) shall be paid to his Beneficiary at the time and in the form prescribed by the SERP.

Article 5
Plan Administration
    

Plan Administrator
The Plan shall be administered by the Plan Committee, which shall be the Committee that is responsible for administering the Avnet Pension Plan (as prescribed by the Avnet Pension Plan) or its designee.  
Authority, Powers, and Responsibilities of Plan Committee
		
	(a)
	The Plan Committee shall have the same authority, powers, and responsibilities with respect to the Plan as the Committee responsible for administering the Avnet Pension Plan has with respect to the Avnet Pension Plan; provided, however, that obligations imposed by Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA (including ERISA's fiduciary responsibilities) shall not apply with respect to the Plan.  For the avoidance of doubt, such authority, powers, and responsibility include the power to construe and interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and to remedy or correct any ambiguities, omissions, or inconsistencies contained therein.  Any interpretation of the Plan and any decision on any matter within the discretion of the Plan Committee that is made by the Plan Committee in good faith shall be binding on all persons.

		
	(b)
	Any question with regard to the Plan Committee's authority, power, or responsibilities shall be resolved in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Avnet Pension Plan that set forth the authority and responsibilities of the Committee responsible for administering the Avnet Pension Plan (subject to this Plan's exemption from the requirements of Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Title I of ERISA).  Such provisions are incorporated into the Plan by reference.

		
	(c)
	The Company and Affiliates shall indemnify the Plan Committee against any and all liabilities, settlements, judgments, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of whatever kind and nature that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Plan Committee by reason of the performance or nonperformance of the Plan administration function if such action or inaction did not constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to other rights of the Plan Committee by law or by reason of insurance coverage of any kind, but shall not provide for duplication.  The Company may, at its own expense, settle any claim asserted or proceeding brought against the Plan Committee or any of its members when the Company determines that settlement appears to be in the best interests of the Company.

Claims, Appeals, and Litigation
		
	(a)
	Claims and Appeals Procedures.

Claims and appeals related to participation or benefits under the Plan shall be filed and resolved in accordance with the procedures that apply for claims and appeals under the Avnet Pension Plan.  Such procedures are referred to herein collectively as the “claims procedure.”
		
	(b)
	Litigation.

		
	(1)
	No Applicable Claim (as defined in subsection (2), below) may be filed in any court or in any other forum until the claimant has exhausted the claims procedure referenced in Section 5.03(a).  Any Applicable Claim shall be filed in a court described in subsection (3), 

	
		
	Avnet Restoration Plan
	 

	2013 Restatement
	Page 9

below, within the Applicable Limitations Period prescribed by subsections (4) and (5), below.  No Applicable Claim may be filed after such Applicable Limitations Period.
		
	(2)
	An “Applicable Claim” is:

		
	(A)
	A claim or action to recover benefits allegedly due under the provisions of the Plan or by reason of any law;

		
	(B)
	A claim or action to clarify rights to future benefits under the terms of the Plan;

		
	(C)
	A claim or action to enforce rights under the Plan; or

		
	(D)
	Any other claim or action brought by a person who is, seeks to be, or is a successor to a current or former (I) employee (within the meaning of Section 3(6) of ERISA) of an Employer or an Affiliate, (II) participant (within the meaning of Section 3(7) of ERISA), or (III) beneficiary (within the meaning of Section 3(8) of ERISA) that-

		
	(i)
	Relates to the Plan; and

		
	(ii)
	Seeks a remedy, ruling, or judgment of any kind against an Employer, the Plan Committee, the Plan, the trustee, or any other individual or entity involved with administering or providing services to the Plan.

		
	(3)
	A court described in this subsection (3) shall be one of the following courts:

		
	(A)
	The United States District Court for the district in which the Plan is principally administered;

		
	(B)
	In the case of an action brought by an individual plaintiff, the United States District Court for the district in which such plaintiff resides; or

		
	(C)
	In the case of an action brought by more than one plaintiff, the United States District Court for the district in which the largest number of plaintiffs (or in the case of a putative class action, the United States District Court for the district in which the largest number of putative class members) resides or is reasonably believed to reside. 

If any Applicable Claim is filed in a court other than a court described in this subsection (3), the Plan, any Plan affiliates, and all alleged Plan Participants and Beneficiaries shall take all necessary steps to have the action removed to, transferred to, or refiled in a court described in this subsection (3).
		
	(4)
	The “Applicable Limitations Period” for any Applicable Claim shall begin on the following date (the “Limitations Start Date”):

		
	(A)
	In the case of an Applicable Claim to recover benefits allegedly due to the claimant from the Plan or to clarify the claimant's rights to future benefits from the Plan, the earliest of (i) the date the first benefit payment was actually made, (ii) the date the first benefit payment was allegedly due, or (iii) the date an Employer, the Plan 

	
			
	Avnet Restoration Plan
	 
	Table of Contents

	2013 Restatement
	 
	 Page 10 

Committee, or the Plan first repudiated the alleged obligation to provide such benefits.  A repudiation described in clause (iii) may be made in the form of a direct communication to the Participant or claimant (e.g., denial of a claim under the administrative review referenced in Section 5.03(a)) or a more general oral or written communication related to benefits payable under the Plan (for example, summary of the Plan or provisions thereof, a benefit statement, or an agreement or offer letter); or
		
	(B)
	In the case of any other Applicable Claim, the earliest date on which the claimant knew or should have known of the material facts on which such claim or action is based, regardless of whether the claimant was aware of the legal theory underlying the Applicable Claim.

		
	(5)
	The Applicable Limitations Period for any Applicable Claim shall end on the second anniversary of the Limitations Start Date for such Applicable Claim; provided, however, that-

		
	(A)
	If a request for administrative review pursuant to Section 5.03(a) is pending when the Applicable Limitations Period expires, the deadline for filing such Applicable Claim shall be extended to the date that is 60 calendar days after the final denial (including a deemed denial) of such claim on administrative review; and

		
	(B)
	If paragraph (4)(B), above, applies, the Applicable Limitations Period shall end no later than six years after (i) the date of the last action on which such claim or action is based or (ii) in the case of an omission, the latest date on which such omission could have been cured, without regard to whether the claimant knew or should have known the material facts on which the claim or action is based.

		
	(6)
	The Applicable Limitations Period described in this Section 5.03(b) replaces and supersedes any limitations period that otherwise might be deemed applicable under state or federal law in the absence of this Section 5.03(b).  A claim or action filed after the expiration of the Applicable Limitations Period shall be deemed time-barred; provided, however, that the Plan Committee shall have discretion to extend the Applicable Limitations Period upon a showing of exceptional circumstances that, in the opinion of the Plan Committee, provide good cause for an extension.  The exercise of this discretion is committed solely to the Plan Committee, and is not subject to review.

		
	(7)
	In the event of any Applicable Claim brought by or on behalf of two or more claimants, the requirements of this Section 5.03(b) shall apply separately with respect to each claimant.

Article 6
Payment Rules
    

Funding and Obligation to Pay
		
	(a)
	All benefits under the Plan shall be paid by the Company; provided that the Company may cause benefits to be paid by an Employer or a Trust.  If a Participant also participates in the SERP and the offset required by the SERP for benefits payable under this Plan results in the net benefit payable under the SERP being less than the proceeds of any insurance policy under the SERP that are payable to the Participant or his beneficiary, the excess of such insurance proceeds over the net benefit payable under the SERP shall be applied toward payment of the Participant's benefit (or, if applicable, the death benefit payable on behalf of the Participant) under this Plan.

		
	(b)
	In the event that a Change of Control occurs or is imminent, the Company shall contribute, or cause to be contributed, to a Trust, cash, marketable securities, or insurance policies in an amount equal to the sum of the balances of all Restoration Accounts under the Plan as of the date of the Change of Control (whether or not vested).

No Assignment or Alienation
		
	(a)
	Except as provided in this Section 6.02(a), no benefit payable under this Plan shall be assigned or alienated.

		
	(1)
	Benefits may be assigned pursuant to a domestic relations order that the Plan Committee determines satisfies the qualification requirements of Section 414(p) of the Code; provided, however, that unless the Plan Committee determines otherwise, a domestic relations order shall be qualified only if (i) a qualified domestic relations order also applies to the applicable Participant's benefit under the Avnet Pension Plan, and (ii) the domestic relations order for this Plan is consistent with the corresponding qualified domestic relations order for the Avnet Pension Plan.  

		
	(2)
	The Company and each Employer may reduce benefits under the Plan to the extent that they determine is necessary or appropriate to recover a debt owed by the Participant or Beneficiary to the Company or an Affiliate, or to remedy any injury caused by the Participant or Beneficiary to the Company or an Affiliate.  Any offset shall be applied in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

		
	(b)
	A Beneficiary who is entitled to receive a benefit under the Plan may disclaim his right to such benefit by filing a disclaimer that satisfies the requirements to be a “qualified disclaimer” under Section 2518 of the Code no later than nine months after the death of the Participant.  If the Plan Committee receives a qualified disclaimer (as defined in Section 2518 of the Code) from any Beneficiary, the Participant's Beneficiary under the Plan shall be determined as if the disclaiming Beneficiary had predeceased the Participant.

Withholding
All amounts payable under this Plan are subject to withholding for all federal, state, and local taxes, and all other amounts relating to tax or other payroll deductions, as the Company may reasonably determine should be withheld.  Regardless of the amount withheld, the Participant shall be solely responsible for 

	
		
	Avnet Restoration Plan
	 

	2013 Restatement
	Page 12

paying all required taxes (other than the employer's share of employment taxes) on all payments and other compensation (including imputed compensation) and benefits provided under this Plan.
Payment Satisfies Claims
Any payment to a Participant or the Participant's Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall be, to the extent thereof, in full satisfaction of all claims against the Plan Committee, the Company, the Employer, and the Affiliates (including, in each case, claims unrelated to this Plan).  As a condition precedent to any payment, the Plan Committee may require the recipient to execute a receipt and release to such effect.
Payment to Minors and Incompetents
If any person is a minor or unable to care for his affairs because of illness or accident, unless a duly qualified guardian or other legal representative has been appointed, any payment due under the Plan to that person may be paid, for the benefit of such person, to his spouse, parent, brother, sister, or other person deemed by the Plan Committee to have incurred expenses for such person.  Such payment, to the extent thereof, shall discharge all liability for such payment under the Plan.
Doubt as to Identity or Whereabouts
		
	(a)
	If, after reasonable efforts, the Plan Committee is unable to determine the whereabouts of any person entitled to payment hereunder, the required payment to such person shall be deemed made at the Payment Date, and the Plan Committee shall take (or cause to be taken) all steps that it determines to be reasonably appropriate to avoid a violation of Section 409A of the Code (e.g., withholding income taxes at the time of each deemed payment, and depositing the amount withheld with the Internal Revenue Service).  For purposes of the preceding sentence, notice by registered mail sent to such person's most recent address (as reflected in the Plan records) shall be deemed to constitute reasonable efforts to locate such person.  Subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, if such person subsequently makes a proper claim to the Company for such sum, the Company may in its discretion pay to such person the net amount (after withholding) of the deemed payment described in this Section 6.06.

		
	(b)
	If a payment is made to a Participant or Beneficiary as provided under the Plan, the payment is not returned as being undeliverable, and the check on which the payment is made is not presented for payment before the check expires, then the amount of the check may be forfeited.  However, if such Participant or Beneficiary subsequently makes a proper claim for the amount of the uncashed benefit check, the Company may in its discretion issue a replacement check (net of withholding).

Discretion to Accelerate Payment
The Plan Committee shall have discretion to accelerate payments of benefits under the Plan to the extent (and only to the extent) permitted by Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4).

Overpayments
If any overpayment of benefits is made under the Plan, the recipient of the overpayment shall be required to return the overpaid amount plus reasonable interest.  To the extent that the Company is unable to recover the overpayment, any future benefit payments shall be reduced until the overpayment and reasonable interest are recovered; provided that any offset shall be applied in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code.  The foregoing remedy is not intended to be exclusive.

Any such resolution may designate authority to the Plan Committee or an officer of the Company to adopt amendments that are consistent with the Board's resolution.  Except to the extent required by law or to effectuate the intent that this Plan not provide benefits other than as required to restore amounts that cannot accrue under the Avnet Pension Plan by reason of the Qualified Plan Limits, no amendment, modification, suspension, or termination shall have any retroactive effect to reduce the balance of a Participant's Restoration Account.  

		
	(b)
	The Plan Committee is authorized to adopt any amendment that it determines is necessary or appropriate to comply with an applicable law or to improve administration of the Plan; provided that no such amendment shall cause a material increase in the Company's cost of providing benefits under the Plan.  

Vesting and Payment Upon Termination
If the Plan is terminated, the Plan benefit of each Participant who is employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the termination date shall be fully vested.  The Plan Committee shall have discretion to liquidate all remaining benefits in accordance with the applicable provisions of Treas. Reg. § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix).

3. Stock Subject to the Plan.  
(a) Stock Subject to the Plan.  Subject to the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be optioned and sold under the Plan is 10,905,404 Shares.  Awards shall be counted against the numerical limits of this Section 3 as one (1) Share for every one (1) Share subject thereto, except that Shares subject to Awards granted under the Plan after May 21, 2013, other than Options or SARs, shall be counted against the numerical limits of this Section 3 as one and seven-tenths (1.7) Shares for every one (1) Share subject thereto and shall be counted as one and seven-tenths (1.7) Shares for every one (1) Share returned to or deemed not issued from the Plan pursuant to this Section 3.  The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.  Shares will not be deemed to have been issued pursuant to the Plan with respect to any portion of an Award that is settled in cash.  Upon exercise of an SAR settled in Shares, the gross number of Shares covered by the portion of the Award so exercised will cease to be available for issuance under the Plan.  If the exercise price of an Option is paid by tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of Shares owned by the Participant, the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan will be reduced by the gross number of Shares for which the Option is exercised.
(b) Lapsed Awards.  If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, or is surrendered pursuant to an Exchange Program, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated); provided, however, that Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan shall not be returned to the Plan and shall not become available for future distribution under the Plan, except that if unvested Shares of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units are forfeited or repurchased by the Company, such Shares shall become available for future grant under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shares used to pay the exercise or purchase price of Awards other than an Options or SARs or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to Awards other than an Options or SARs will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan; Shares used to pay the exercise or purchase price of an Option or an SAR or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an Option or SAR shall not become available for future grant or sale under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan under this Section 3(b).
4. Administration of the Plan.
(a) Procedure.
(i) Multiple Administrative Bodies.  The Plan may be administered by different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers.
(ii) Section 162(m).  To the extent that the Committee determines it to be desirable to qualify Options granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.
(iii) Rule 16b-3.  To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

-4-
6212638.6

(iv) Other Administration.  Other than as provided above, the Plan shall be administered by (A) the Board or (B) a committee of the Board, which committee shall be constituted to satisfy Applicable Laws.
(b) Powers of the Committee.  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a committee of the Board, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such committee, the Committee shall have the authority, in its discretion:
(i) to determine the Fair Market Value;
(ii) to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;
(iii) to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;
(iv) to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;
(v) to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder.  Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the shares of Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine;
(vi) to institute an Exchange Program, provided, however, that no Exchange Program may be implemented without prior approval of the Company’s stockholders;
(vii) to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan;
(viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws;
(ix) to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 18(c) of the Plan), including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards longer than is otherwise provided for in the Plan; provided, however, that in no event may the term of an Option or SAR be extended such that the maximum term exceeds ten (10) years from grant date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may not modify or amend an Option or SAR to reduce the exercise price of such Option or SAR after it has been granted (except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 12), unless approved by the Company’s stockholders;
(x) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in such manner as prescribed in Section 14;
(xi) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Committee;
(xii) to allow a Participant, in compliance with all Applicable Laws, including specifically Section 409A of the Code, to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant under an Award; 
(xiii) to determine whether Awards will be adjusted for Dividend Equivalents; provided, however, that in no event will a Dividend Equivalent be attached to an Option, SAR or full-value Award, in each case, with performance-based vesting conditions granted hereunder; 
(xiv) to require that the Participant's rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award (including amounts received upon the settlement or exercise of an Award) shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award, as may be specified in an Award Agreement at the time of the Award, or later if (A) Applicable Laws require the Company to adopt a policy 

-5-
6212638.6

requiring such reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment, or (B) pursuant to an amendment of an outstanding Award; and
(xv) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.
(c) Effect of Committee’s Decision.  The Committee’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Participants and any other holders of Awards.
5. Eligibility.  Nonstatutory Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.
6. Stock Options.
(a) Limitations.
(i) Each Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.
(ii) The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options:
(1) No Service Provider shall be granted, in any Fiscal Year, Options to purchase more than 1,000,000 Shares.
(2) In connection with his or her initial service, a Service Provider may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 1,000,000 Shares which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (1) above.
(3) The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 12.
(4) If an Option is cancelled in the same Fiscal Year in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 12), the cancelled Option will be counted against the limits set forth in subsections (1) and (2) above.  For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction will be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option.
(b) Term of Option.  The term of each Option shall be stated in the Award Agreement.  The term of each Option shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.  Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
(c) Option Exercise Price and Consideration.
(i) Exercise Price.  The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Committee, subject to the following:
(1) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

-6-
6212638.6

a) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
b) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(2) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be determined by the Committee, but shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction.
(ii) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates.  At the time an Option is granted, the Committee shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.
(iii) Form of Consideration.  The Committee shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment.  In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Committee shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant.  Such consideration may consist entirely of:
(1) cash;
(2) check;
(3) promissory note (provided that a promissory note will not be acceptable consideration to the extent the issuance of a promissory note would not be permitted by Applicable Laws);
(4) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion;
(5) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program (whether through a broker, net exercise program or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;
(6) a reduction in the amount of any Company liability to the Participant, including any liability attributable to the Participant’s participation in any Company-sponsored deferred compensation program or arrangement;
(7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or 
(8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.
(d) Exercise of Option.
(i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder.  Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement.  Unless the Committee provides 

-7-
6212638.6

otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence.  An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in such form as the Committee specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with any applicable withholding taxes).  Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Committee and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan.  Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse.  Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option.  The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised.  No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12 of the Plan.
Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.
(ii) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider.  If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider, other than upon the Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination.  If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Committee, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(iii) Disability of Participant.  If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement).  In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination.  If, on the date of termination, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan.  If, after termination, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
(iv) Death of Participant.  If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant), by the Participant’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death.  In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination.  If, at the time of death, the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan.  The Option may be exercised by the executor or Committee of the Participant’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Participant’s will or the laws of descent or distribution.  If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.
7. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.
(a) Restricted Stock.

-8-
6212638.6

(i) Grant of Restricted Stock.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Service Providers in such amounts as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine, provided that during any Fiscal Year no Participant will receive more than an aggregate of 500,000 Shares of Restricted Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in connection with a Participant’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted an aggregate of up to an additional 1,000,000 Shares of Restricted Stock. 
(ii) Restricted Stock Agreement.  Each Award of Restricted Stock will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Period of Restriction, the number of Shares granted, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine.  Unless the Committee determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock will be held by the Company as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.
(iii) Transferability.  Except as provided in this Section 7 or Section 11, Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction.
(iv) Other Provisions.  The Award Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.
(1) General Restrictions.  The Committee may set restrictions based upon continued employment or service, the achievement of specific performance objectives (Company-wide, departmental, divisional, business unit or individual), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion.
(2) Section 162(m) Performance Restrictions.  For purposes of qualifying grants of Restricted Stock as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee, in its discretion, may set restrictions based upon the achievement of Performance Goals, which shall be set by the Committee on or before the Determination Date.  In this connection, the Committee shall follow any procedures determined by it from time to time to be necessary or appropriate to ensure qualification of the Restricted Stock grant under Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g., in determining the Performance Goals).
(v) Removal of Restrictions.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan will be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction.  The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed.
(vi) Voting Rights.  During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless the Committee determines otherwise.
(vii) Dividends and Other Distributions.  During the Period of Restriction, Service Providers holding Shares of Restricted Stock will be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.  If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares will be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid.
(viii) Return of Restricted Stock to Company.  On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed will revert to the Company and again will become available for grant under the Plan.
(b) Restricted Stock Units.
(iv) Grant of Restricted Stock Units.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Restricted Stock Units in such amounts as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine, provided that during any Fiscal Year no Participant will receive Restricted Stock Units covering more than 500,000 Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in connection with a Participant’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted 

-9-
6212638.6

Restricted Stock Units covering up to an additional 1,000,000 Shares.  After the Committee determines that it will grant Restricted Stock Units under the Plan, it will advise the Participant in an Award Agreement of the terms, conditions, and restrictions related to the grant, including the number of Restricted Stock Units.
(v) Vesting Criteria and Other Terms.  The Committee will set vesting criteria in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which the criteria are met, will determine the number of Restricted Stock Units that will be paid out to the Participant.  
(1) General Restrictions.  The Committee may set vesting criteria based upon continued employment or service, the achievement of specific performance objectives (Company-wide, departmental, divisional, business unit or individual), applicable federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion.
(2) Section 162(m) Performance Restrictions.  For purposes of qualifying grants of Restricted Stock Units as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee, in its discretion, may set restrictions based upon the achievement of Performance Goals, which shall be set by the Committee on or before the Determination Date.  In this connection, the Committee shall follow any procedures determined by it from time to time to be necessary or appropriate to ensure qualification of the Restricted Stock Unit grant under Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g., in determining the Performance Goals).
(vi) Earning Restricted Stock Units.  Upon meeting the applicable vesting criteria, the Participant will be entitled to receive a payout as determined by the Committee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time after the grant of Restricted Stock Units, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any vesting criteria that must be met to receive a payout.
(vii) Form and Timing of Payment.  Payment of earned Restricted Stock Units will be made as soon as practicable after the date(s) determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may settle earned Restricted Stock Units only in cash, Shares, or a combination of both.
(viii) Cancellation.  On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned Restricted Stock Units will be forfeited to the Company.
8. Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) Grant of SARs.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a SAR may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time as will be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  The Committee may grant Affiliated SARs, Freestanding SARs, Tandem SARs, or any combination thereof.
(b) Number of Shares.  The Committee will have complete discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to any Participant, provided that during any Fiscal Year, no Participant will be granted SARs covering more than 1,000,000 Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in connection with a Participant’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted SARs covering up to an additional 1,000,000 Shares.
(c) Exercise Price and Other Terms.  The Committee, subject to the provisions of the Plan, will have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan.  In the case of a Freestanding SAR, the exercise price will be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.  The exercise price of Tandem or Affiliated SARs will equal the exercise price of the related Option (but will not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such SAR).
(d) Exercise of Tandem SARs.  Tandem SARs may be exercised for all or part of the Shares subject to the related Option upon the surrender of the right to exercise the equivalent portion of the related Option.  A Tandem SAR may be exercised only with respect to the Shares for which its related Option is then exercisable.  With respect to a Tandem SAR granted in connection with an Incentive Stock Option: (a) the Tandem SAR will expire no later than the expiration of the underlying Incentive Stock Option; (b) the value of the payout with respect to the Tandem SAR will be for no more than one hundred percent (100%) of the difference between the 

-10-
6212638.6

exercise price of the underlying Incentive Stock Option and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the underlying Incentive Stock Option at the time the Tandem SAR is exercised; and (c) the Tandem SAR will be exercisable only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Incentive Stock Option exceeds the Exercise Price of the Incentive Stock Option.
(e) Exercise of Affiliated SARs.  An Affiliated SAR will be deemed to be exercised upon the exercise of the related Option.  The deemed exercise of an Affiliated SAR will not necessitate a reduction in the number of Shares subject to the related Option.
(f) Exercise of Freestanding SARs.  Freestanding SARs will be exercisable on such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine.
(g) SAR Agreement.  Each SAR grant will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the exercise price, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine. 
(h) Expiration of SARs.  An SAR granted under the Plan will expire upon the date determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 6(d) also will apply to SARs.  The term of a SAR shall be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.
(i) Payment of SAR Amount.  Upon exercise of an SAR, a Participant will be entitled to receive payment from the Company, less any applicable withholding taxes, in an amount determined by multiplying:
(i) The difference between the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise and the exercise price; times
(ii) The number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.
At the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.
9. Performance Units and Performance Shares.
(a) Grant of Performance Units/Shares.  Performance Units and Performance Shares may be granted to Service Providers at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  The Committee will have complete discretion in determining the number of Performance Units and Performance Shares granted to each Participant provided that during any Fiscal Year, (i) no Participant will receive Performance Units having an initial value greater than $1,000,000, and (ii) no Participant will receive more than 1,000,000 Performance Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, in connection with a Participant’s initial service as an Employee, an Employee may be granted up to an additional 1,000,000 Performance Shares.
(b) Value of Performance Units/Shares.  Each Performance Unit will have an initial value that is established by the Committee on or before the date of grant.  Each Performance Share will have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.
(c) Performance Objectives and Other Terms.  The Committee will set performance objectives or other vesting provisions (including, without limitation, continued status as a Service Provider) in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Service Provider.  Each Award of Performance Units/Shares will be evidenced by an Award Agreement that will specify the Performance Period, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, will determine.
(i) General Performance Objectives.  The Committee may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional, or individual goals, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion.

-11-
6212638.6

(d) Earning of Performance Units/Shares.  After the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares will be entitled to receive a payout of the number of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance objectives or other vesting provisions have been achieved.  After the grant of a Performance Unit/Share, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such Performance Unit/Share.
(e) Form and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares.  Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares will be made as soon as practicable after the expiration of the applicable Performance Period.  The Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash, in Shares (which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period) or in a combination thereof, taking into consideration any applicable withholding taxes which may be due as a result of the Award.
(f) Cancellation of Performance Units/Shares.  On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, all unearned or unvested Performance Units/Shares will be forfeited to the Company, and again will be available for grant under the Plan.
10. Terms and Conditions of Any Performance-Based Award.  
(a) Purpose.  The purpose of this Section 10 is to provide the Committee the ability to qualify Awards (other than Options and SARs) that are granted pursuant to the Plan as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.  If the Committee, in its discretion, decides to grant a Performance-Based Award subject to Performance Goals to a Employee who would be considered a “covered employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code (hereinafter a “Covered Employee”), the provisions of this Section 10 will control over any contrary provision in the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may in its discretion grant Awards to such Covered Employees that are based on Performance Goals or other specific criteria or goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Section 10.
(b) Applicability.  This Section 10 will apply to those Covered Employees which are selected by the Committee to receive any Award subject to Performance Goals.  The designation of a Covered Employee as being subject to Section 162(m) of the Code will not in any manner entitle the Covered Employee to receive an Award under the Plan.  Moreover, designation of a Covered Employee subject to Section 162(m) of the Code for a particular Performance Period will not require designation of such Covered Employee in any subsequent Performance Period and designation of one Covered Employee will not require designation of any other Covered Employee in such period or in any other period.
(c) Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based Awards.  To the extent necessary to comply with the performance-based compensation requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, with respect to any Award granted subject to Performance Goals, no later than the Determination Date, the Committee will, in writing, (a) designate one or more Participants who are Covered Employees, (b) select the Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals, and amounts or methods of computation of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period, and (d) specify the relationship between Performance Goals and the amounts or methods of computation of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period.  Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee will certify in writing whether the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period.  In determining the amounts earned by a Covered Employee, the Committee will have the right to reduce or eliminate (but not to increase) the amount payable at a given level of performance to take into account additional factors that the Committee may deem relevant to the assessment of individual or corporate performance for the Performance Period.
(d) Payment of Performance Based Awards.  Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Covered Employee must be employed by the Company or a Related Entity on the day a Performance-Based Award for such Performance Period is paid to the Covered Employee.  Furthermore, a Covered Employee will be eligible to receive payment pursuant to a Performance-Based Award for a Performance Period only if the Performance Goals for such period are achieved, unless otherwise permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code and determined by the Committee.

-12-
6212638.6

(e) Additional Limitations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any Award which is granted to a Covered Employee and is intended to constitute qualified performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code will be subject to any additional limitations set forth in the Code (including any amendment to Section 162(m)) or any regulations and ruling issued thereunder that are requirements for qualification as qualified performance-based compensation as described in Section 162(m) of the Code, and the Plan will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.
11. Transferability of Awards.  Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant.  If the Committee makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Committee deems appropriate.
12. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger or Asset Sale.
(a) Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, and the numerical Share limits set forth in Sections 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9 shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.”  Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, 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 of Common Stock subject to an Award.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Committee shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.  The Committee in its discretion may provide for a Participant to have the right to exercise his or her Award until ten (10) days prior to such transaction as to all of the Optioned Stock covered thereby, including Shares as to which the Award would not otherwise be exercisable.  In addition, the Committee may provide that any Company repurchase option applicable to any Shares purchased upon exercise of an Award shall lapse as to all such Shares, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.
(c) Merger or Asset Sale.
(i) General.  In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Merger”), each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent award substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation (the “Successor Corporation”).  In the event that the Successor Corporation refuses to assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise his or her Option or Stock Appreciation Right as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Performance Shares and/or Units, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met. If an Option or Stock Appreciation Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Merger, the Committee shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that such Award shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period.  For the purposes of this paragraph, the Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Merger, the award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Merger, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) or, in the case of a Stock Appreciation Right, upon the exercise of which the Committee determines to pay cash or a Performance Share and/or Unit which the Committee can determine to pay in cash, the fair market value of the consideration received in the Merger by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective 

-13-
6212638.6

date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Merger is not solely common stock of the Successor Corporation or its Parent, the Committee may, with the consent of the Successor Corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Performance Share and/or Unit, for each Share subject to an Award (or in the case of Performance Units, the number of implied Shares determined by dividing the value of the Performance Units by the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Merger), to be solely common stock of the Successor Corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Merger.
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s corporate structure post-merger or post-sale of assets will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.
(ii) Employee Options Following Assumption or Substitution.  Following an assumption or substitution in connection with a Merger as described in Section 12(c)(i) above, and in the event that upon the Merger the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Merger hold less than 50% of the outstanding voting equity securities of the Successor Corporation following the Merger (a “Change of Control Merger”), if a Participant’s status as an Employee of the Successor Corporation is terminated by the Successor Corporation as a result of an Involuntary Termination (as defined below) within twelve months following the Change of Control Merger, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise Participant’s Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which Participant would not otherwise be vested or exercisable. Thereafter, the Option shall remain exercisable in accordance with its terms as determined by the Committee.
(1) For purposes of this section, any of the following events shall constitute an “Involuntary Termination”: (i) without the Participant’s express written consent, a significant reduction of the Participant’s duties, authority or responsibilities, relative to the Participant’s duties, authority or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control Merger; (ii) without the Participant’s express written consent, a substantial reduction, without good business reasons, of the facilities and perquisites (including office space and location) available to the Participant immediately prior to the Change of Control Merger; (iii) a reduction in the base salary of the Participant as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control Merger; (iv) a material reduction in the kind or level of employee benefits, including bonuses, to which the Participant was entitled immediately prior to the Change of Control Merger with the result that the Participant’s overall benefits package is significantly reduced; (v) the relocation of the Participant to a facility or a location more than thirty (30) miles from the Participant’s then present location, without the Participant’s express written consent; or (vi) any purported termination of the Participant which is not effected for Disability or for Cause (as defined below), or any purported termination for which the grounds relied upon are not valid.
(2) For purposes of this section, “Cause” shall mean (i) any act of personal dishonesty taken by the Participant in connection with his responsibilities as a Service Provider and intended to result in substantial personal enrichment of the Participant, (ii) Participant’s conviction of a felony, (iii) a willful act by the Participant which constitutes gross misconduct and which is injurious to the Successor Corporation, and (iv) following delivery to the Participant of a written demand for performance from the Successor Corporation which describes the basis for the Successor Corporation’s belief that the Participant has not substantially performed his duties, continued violations by the Participant of the Participant’s obligations to the Successor Corporation which are demonstrably willful and deliberate on the Participant’s part.
(iii) Director Options Following Assumption or Substitution.  Following an assumption or substitution in connection with a Change of Control Merger, if a Participant’s status as a director of the 

-14-
6212638.6

Successor Corporation terminates other than upon a voluntary resignation by the Participant, the Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise Participant’s Option as to all of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which Participant would not otherwise be vested or exercisable.  Thereafter, the Option shall remain exercisable in accordance with its terms as determined by the Committee.
13. Outside Director Award Limitation.  On and after May 21, 2013, no Outside Director may be granted, in any Fiscal Year, Awards covering more than 50,000 Shares.
14. Tax Withholding.
(a) Withholding Requirements.  Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).
(b) Withholding Arrangements.  The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or (c) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld.  The amount of the withholding requirement will be deemed to include any amount which the Committee agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined.  The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.
15. No Effect on Employment or Service.  Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.
16. Date of Grant.  The date of grant of an Award shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Committee makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Committee.  Notice of the determination shall be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.
17. Term of Plan.  Subject to Section 23 of the Plan, the Plan, as amended and restated on April 3, 2013, shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board.  It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from such date, unless terminated earlier under Section 18 of the Plan.
18. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.
(a) Amendment and Termination.  The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.
(b) Stockholder Approval.  The Company shall obtain shareholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.
(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination.  No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Committee, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company.  Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Committee’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

-15-
6212638.6

19. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.
(a) Legal Compliance.  Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.
(b) Investment Representations.  As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.
20. Inability to Obtain Authority.  The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

Such events may include, but shall not be limited to, fraud, breach of a fiduciary duty, restatement of financial statements as a result of fraud or willful errors or omissions, termination of employment for cause, violation of material Company and/or Subsidiary policies, breach of non-competition, confidentiality, or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries.  The Committee may also require the application of this Section 22 with respect to any Award previously granted to a Participant even without any specified terms being included in any applicable Award Agreement to the extent required under Applicable Laws.
23. Stockholder Approval.  The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted.  Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.
