AWARD NOTICE

     This Award Notice is delivered by PHH Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), to
                                         (the “Grantee”). Upon and subject to the terms and conditions below
and the terms and conditions of the PHH Corporation Management Incentive Plan (as amended from time
to time, the “MIP”) adopted pursuant to the PHH Corporation Amended and Restated 2005 Equity and
Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “2005 EIP”), the Company hereby awards to Grantee
a cash incentive bonus (the “Award”) payable as follows:

	A.	 	Plan Year (to which the Award relates) means: January 1,                      through December 31,                     .
	 
	B.	 	Target Amount (to which the Award relates) means:                                         .
	 
	C.	 	Plan Year Performance Goal (to which the Award relates) means:                                         .
	 
	D.	 	Amount Payable: Subject to the MIP, the 2005 EIP, and the other terms of this Award,
upon certification by the Committee (as defined in the MIP) that the Company’s Plan Year
Performance Goal exceeds the amount corresponding to the applicable level set forth in the
table below, Grantee shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the Maximum Payout
Percentage set forth in the table below corresponding to the level of attainment certified by
the Committee multiplied by Grantee’s Target Amount set forth above.

	 	95% of Plan	 	 
	 

	 	90% of Plan	 	 
	 

	 	Not Meeting Plan	 	 

	 	 	The Maximum Payout Percentage for a level of achievement of the Plan Year Performance Goal
as certified by the Committee that is between the levels set forth in the table above and is
above the “Plan” level will be determined based on straight-line interpolation. There will
be no interpolation for performance below the “Plan” level. No payment will be made in
excess of the Maximum Payout Percentage at the “Outstanding” level.
	 
	E.	 	Vesting and Payment: Unless contrary to applicable law and except as provided in
Paragraph F below, the Grantee will only become vested in the Award if the Grantee is employed
by the Company or an Affiliate (as defined in the MIP) on the date the Committee certifies the
level of achievement of the Plan Year Performance Goal. Except as provided in Paragraph F
below, if the Committee does not certify the level of achievement of the Plan Year Performance
Goal, or if the Grantee is not an employee of the Company or an Affiliate on the date, if any,
that such certification occurs, no amount will be payable pursuant to this Award. Any vested
Award amount will be paid within thirty (30)
days following certification by the Committee, but no later than December 31 of the year
immediately following the Plan Year.

 

 

	F.	 	Change in Control: If Grantee is employed by the Company or an Affiliate on the date
a Change in Control (as defined in the 2005 EIP) occurs and before the Award is vested
(whether or not such Change in Control occurs during the Plan Year), the Award shall
automatically become vested as of the date of the Change in Control as if the Company had
achieved the Plan Year Performance Goal at the “Plan” level and the vested Award shall be
payable as soon as practicable following the date of the Change in Control, but no later than
December 31 of the year in which the Change in Control occurs.
	 
	G.	 	Committee Discretion: The Committee may exercise negative discretion to reduce the
Maximum Payout Percentage and the amount payable under this Award prior to the earlier of
payment of the Award or Change in Control. Such discretion may be exercised based on the
Committee’s subjective determination (or the Committee’s determination based upon a
recommendation of the Company’s management) of the extent to which the Grantee has achieved
such individual goals for the Plan Year, if any, as the Committee may establish or based on
any other factors the Committee deems necessary or appropriate in its sole and absolute
discretion.

Alimera Sciences, Inc.

2010 Equity Incentive Plan

     ARTICLE 1. INTRODUCTION.

          The Board adopted the Plan effective as of the IPO Date. The purpose of the Plan is to
promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of stockholder value by (a)
encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range
objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and
Consultants with exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and
Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to
achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Options (which may constitute ISOs or
NSOs), SARs, Restricted Shares, Stock Units or Performance Cash Awards.

          The Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
Delaware (except their choice-of-law provisions).

     ARTICLE 2. ADMINISTRATION.

          2.1 Committee Composition. The Compensation Committee of the Board shall administer the Plan.
The Committee shall consist exclusively of two or more members of the Board, who shall be appointed
by the Board. In addition, each member of the Committee shall meet the following requirements:

        (a) Any listing standards prescribed by the principal securities market on
which the Company’s equity securities are traded;

        (b) Such requirements as the Internal Revenue Service may establish for outside
directors acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under section
162(m)(4)(C) of the Code;

        (c) Such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish
for administrators acting under plans intended to qualify for exemption under Rule
16b-3 (or its successor) under the Exchange Act; and

        (d) Any other requirements imposed by applicable law, regulations or rules.

          2.2 Committee Responsibilities. The Committee shall (a) select the Employees, Outside Directors
and Consultants who are to receive Awards under the Plan, (b) determine the type, number, vesting
requirements and other features and conditions of such Awards, (c) determine to what extent any
Performance Goals have been attained, (d) interpret the Plan, (e) make all other decisions relating
to the operation of the Plan and (f) carry out any other duties delegated to it by the Board under
the Plan. The Committee may adopt such rules or

 

 

guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. The Committee’s determinations
under the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.

          2.3 Non-Officer Grants. The Board may also appoint a single director or an additional committee
of the Board composed of two or more directors of the Company. The single director or the members
of the additional committee need not satisfy the requirements of Section 2.1. Such director or
committee may (a) administer the Plan with respect to Employees and Consultants who are not Outside
Directors and are not considered executive officers of the Company under Section 16 of the Exchange
Act, (b) grant Awards under the Plan to such Employees and Consultants and (c) determine all
features and conditions of such Awards. Within the limitations of this Section 2.3, any reference
in the Plan to the Committee shall include a single director or an additional committee to whom the
Board has delegated the required authority under this Section 2.3.

     ARTICLE 3. SHARES AVAILABLE FOR GRANTS.

          3.1 Basic Limitation. Common Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be authorized but unissued
shares or treasury shares. The aggregate number of Common Shares issued under the Plan shall not
exceed (a) 1,977,686 Common Shares plus (b) the additional Common Shares described in Sections 3.2
and 3.3. The number of Common Shares that are subject to Awards outstanding at any time under the
Plan shall not exceed the number of Common Shares that then remain available for issuance under the
Plan. All Common Shares available under the Plan may be issued upon the exercise of ISOs. The
limitations of this Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Article
11.

          3.2 Annual Increase in Shares. As of the first day of each fiscal year of the Company, commencing
on January 1, 2011, the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan shall
automatically increase by a number equal to the lowest of (a) 4% of the total number of Common
Shares then outstanding, (b) 2,000,000 Common Shares or (c) the number determined by the Board.

          3.3 Shares Returned to Reserve. To the extent that Options, SARs or Stock Units are forfeited or
expire for any other reason before being exercised or settled in full, then the Common Shares
subject to such Options, SARs or Stock Units shall again become available for issuance under the
Plan. If SARs are exercised, then only the number of Common Shares (if any) actually issued in
settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available under Section 3.1 and the balance shall
again become available for issuance under the Plan. If Stock Units are settled, then only the
number of Common Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the
number available under Section 3.1 and the balance shall again become available for issuance under
the Plan. If Restricted Shares or Common Shares issued upon the exercise of Options are reacquired
by the Company pursuant to a forfeiture provision or for any other reason, then such Common Shares
shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. Shares applied to pay the Exercise Price
of Options or to satisfy tax withholding obligations related to any Award shall again become
available for issuance under the Plan. To the extent that an Award is settled in cash rather than
Shares, the cash settlement shall not reduce the number of Shares available for issuance under the
Plan.

2

 

          3.4 Dividend Equivalents. Any dividend equivalents paid or credited under the Plan shall not be
applied against the number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Plan, whether or not such
dividend equivalents are converted into Stock Units.

     ARTICLE 4. ELIGIBILITY.

          4.1 Incentive Stock Options. Only Employees who are common-law employees of the Company, a Parent
or a Subsidiary shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. In addition, an Employee who owns more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company or
any of its Parents or Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless the
additional requirements set forth in Section 422(c)(5) of the Code are satisfied.

          4.2 Other Grants. Only Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants shall be eligible for the
grant of Restricted Shares, Stock Units, NSOs or SARs.

     ARTICLE 5. OPTIONS.

          5.1 Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock
Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all
applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with
the Plan. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO or an NSO. The
provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be
identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other
compensation.

          5.2 Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the number of Common Shares
subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with
Article 11. Options granted to an Optionee in a single fiscal year of the Company shall not cover
more than 50% of the Plan Shares.

          5.3 Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price, which shall not
be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to Options granted pursuant to an assumption of, or substitution for,
another option in a manner that would satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code,
whether or not such section is applicable.

          5.4 Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the date or event when all
or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also
specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years
from the date of grant. A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the
event of the Optionee’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for
expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service.
Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options
will not be exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited.

          5.5 Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option
or thereafter, that such Option shall become exercisable as to all or part of

3

 

the Common Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with
respect to the Company or in the event that the Optionee is subject to an Involuntary Termination
after a Change in Control. However, in the case of an ISO, the acceleration of exercisability
shall not occur without the Optionee’s written consent. In addition, acceleration of
exercisability may be required under Section 11.3.

          5.6 Death of Optionee. After an Optionee’s death, any exercisable Options held by such Optionee
may be exercised by his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each Optionee may designate one or
more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary
designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the
Optionee’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the
Optionee, then any exercisable Options held by the Optionee may be exercised by his or her estate.

          5.7 Modification or Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may
modify, reprice, extend or assume outstanding options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding
options (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new
options for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price.
The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the
Optionee, alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such Option.

          5.8 Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash
or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out
an Option previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions
as the Committee shall establish.

     ARTICLE 6. PAYMENT FOR OPTION SHARES.

          6.1 General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Common Shares issued upon exercise of Options
shall be payable in cash or cash equivalents at the time when such Common Shares are purchased,
except that the Committee at its sole discretion may accept payment of the Exercise Price in any
other form(s) described in this Article 6. However, if the Optionee is an Outside Director or
executive officer of the Company, he or she may pay the Exercise Price in a form other than cash or
cash equivalents only to the extent permitted by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

          6.2 Surrender of Stock. With the Committee’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price may
be paid by surrendering, or attesting to the ownership of, Common Shares that are already owned by
the Optionee. Such Common Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the
new Common Shares are purchased under the Plan.

          6.3 Exercise/Sale. With the Committee’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any
withholding taxes may be paid by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) an irrevocable
direction to a securities broker approved by the Company to sell all or part of the Common Shares
being purchased under the Plan and to deliver all or part of the sales proceeds to the Company.

4

 

          6.4 Promissory Note. With the Committee’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price and any
withholding taxes may be paid by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full-recourse
promissory note.

          6.5 Other Forms of Payment. With the Committee’s consent, all or any part of the Exercise Price
and any withholding taxes may be paid in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws,
regulations and rules.

     ARTICLE 7. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

          7.1 SAR Agreement. Each grant of an SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by an SAR Agreement
between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR shall be subject to all applicable terms of the
Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions
of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs may be
granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation.

          7.2 Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Common Shares to which the
SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Article 11.
SARs granted to an Optionee in a single calendar year shall in no event pertain to more than 50% of
the Plan Shares.

          7.3 Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price, which shall in no event
be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Common Share on the date of grant. The preceding
sentence shall not apply to SARs granted pursuant to an assumption of, or substitution for, another
SAR in a manner that would satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code if such section
were applicable.

          7.4 Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any
installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of
the SAR. An SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the
Optionee’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to
the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service. SARs may be awarded
in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable
unless the related Options are forfeited. An SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of
grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. An SAR granted under the
Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.

          7.5 Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an SAR or
thereafter, that such SAR shall become exercisable as to all or part of the Common Shares subject
to such SAR in the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control or in the event that
the Optionee is subject to an Involuntary Termination after a Change in Control. In addition,
acceleration of exercisability may be required under Section 11.3.

          7.6 Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of an SAR, the Optionee (or any person having the right to
exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Common Shares, (b) cash
or (c) a combination of Common Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of
cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Common

5

 

Shares received
upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market
Value (on the date of surrender) of the Common Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise
Price. If, on the date when an SAR expires, the Exercise Price is less than the Fair Market Value
on such date but any portion of such SAR has not been exercised or surrendered, then such SAR shall
automatically be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion. An SAR
Agreement may also provide for an automatic exercise of the SAR on an earlier date.

          7.7 Death of Optionee. After an Optionee’s death, any exercisable SARs held by such Optionee may
be exercised by his or her beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each Optionee may designate one or more
beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary
designation may be changed by filing the prescribed form with the Company at any time before the
Optionee’s death. If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the
Optionee, then any exercisable SARs held by the Optionee may be exercised by his or her estate.

          7.8 Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may
modify, reprice, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept the cancellation of outstanding
SARs (whether granted by the Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for
the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The
foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an SAR shall, without the consent of the Optionee,
alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR.

     ARTICLE 8. RESTRICTED SHARES.

          8.1 Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under the Plan shall be evidenced
by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares
shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are
not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered
into under the Plan need not be identical.

          8.2 Payment for Awards. Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such
consideration as the Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash
equivalents, property, full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. If the
Participant is an Outside Director or executive officer of the Company, he or she may pay for
Restricted Shares with a promissory note only to the extent permitted by Section 13(k) of the
Exchange Act. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may accept the cancellation of
outstanding options in return for the grant of Restricted Shares.

          8.3 Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject to vesting.
Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in
the Restricted Stock Agreement. Such conditions, at the Committee’s discretion, may include one or
more Performance Goals. In no event shall more than 50% of the Plan Shares be granted to any
Participant in a single fiscal year of the Company as Restricted Shares subject to
performance-based vesting conditions. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for accelerated
vesting in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The
Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares or

6

 

thereafter, that all or part
of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a
Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company or in the event that the Participant is
subject to an Involuntary Termination after a Change in Control.

          8.4 Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall
have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. A Restricted
Stock Agreement, however, may require that any cash dividends paid on Restricted Shares (a) be
accumulated and paid when such Restricted Shares vest or (b) be invested in additional Restricted
Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions
as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid.

     ARTICLE 9. STOCK UNITS.

          9.1 Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock
Unit Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Stock Units shall be subject to all
applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with
the Plan. The provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need not
be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the recipient’s other
compensation.

          9.2 Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the form of Stock Units, no
cash consideration shall be required of the Award recipients.

          9.3 Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be subject to vesting. Vesting
shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock
Unit Agreement. Such conditions, at the Committee’s discretion, may include one or more
Performance Goals. In no event shall more than 50% of the Plan Shares be granted to any
Participant in a single fiscal year of the Company as Stock Units subject to performance-based
vesting conditions. A Stock Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the
Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the
time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part of such Stock Units shall become
vested in the event that the Company is subject to a Change in Control or in the event that the
Participant is subject to an Involuntary Termination after a Change in Control. In addition,
acceleration of vesting may be required under Section 11.3.

          9.4 Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no voting rights. Prior to
settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under the Plan may, at the Committee’s discretion,
carry with it a right to dividend equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with
an amount equal to all cash dividends paid on one Common Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding.
Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of dividend
equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Common Shares, or in a combination of
both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents that are not paid shall be subject to the
same conditions and restrictions as the Stock Units to which they attach.

          9.5 Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested Stock Units may be made in
the form of (a) cash, (b) Common Shares or (c) any combination of both, as determined by the
Committee. The actual number of Stock Units eligible for settlement

7

 

may be larger or smaller than
the number included in the original Award, based on
predetermined performance factors. Methods of converting Stock Units into cash may include
(without limitation) a method based on the average Fair Market Value of Common Shares over a series
of trading days. Vested Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The
distribution may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units have
been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The amount of a deferred
distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by dividend equivalents. Until an Award of
Stock Units is settled, the number of such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to
Article 11.

          9.6 Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death
shall be distributed to the recipient’s beneficiary or beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock
Units Award under the Plan shall designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the
prescribed form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the
prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient’s death. If no beneficiary
was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the Award recipient, then any Stock Units
Award that becomes payable after the recipient’s death shall be distributed to the recipient’s
estate.

          9.7 Creditors’ Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights other than those of a general
creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the
Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.

     ARTICLE 10. OTHER AWARDS.

          10.1 Performance Cash Awards. A Performance Cash Award is a cash award granted subject to the
attainment of specified Performance Goals during a Performance Period. A Performance Cash Award
may also require the completion of a specified period of continuous Service. The length of the
Performance Period, the Performance Goals to be attained during the Performance Period, and the
degree to which the Performance Goals have been attained shall be determined conclusively by the
Committee. The aggregate amount that may be paid to any Participant for any fiscal year of the
Company as a Performance Cash Award shall not exceed $1,500,000. The Committee may prescribe or
may permit a Participant to elect (subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may
specify) that the payment of a Performance Cash Award will be deferred to a specified date or
event. The Committee may also specify the form of payment of a Performance Cash Award, including
cash or Common Shares, or may permit a Participant to elect the form of payment. Such Common
Shares shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Common Shares issued in settlement of
Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Common Shares available under Article 3.

          10.2 Awards under Other Plans. The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such
awards may be settled in the form of Common Shares issued under this Plan. Such Common Shares
shall be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Common Shares issued in settlement of Stock
Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Common Shares available under Article 3.

8

 

     ARTICLE 11. PROTECTION AGAINST DILUTION.

          11.1 Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares, a declaration of a dividend
payable in Common Shares or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by
reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Common Shares, corresponding adjustments
shall automatically be made in each of the following:

          (a) The number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units available
for future Awards under Article 3;

          (b) The number of Common Shares covered by each outstanding Option and SAR;

          (c) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR; or

          (d) The number of Stock Units included in any prior Award that has not yet been
settled.

In the event of a declaration of an extraordinary dividend payable in a form other than Common
Shares in an amount that has a material effect on the price of Common Shares, a recapitalization, a
spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make such adjustments as it, in its sole
discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of the foregoing. Except as provided in this Article
11, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issuance by the Company of stock of any
class or securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares
of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the
number of shares of stock of any class.

          11.2 Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall
terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

          11.3 Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or consolidation, all outstanding
Awards shall be subject to the agreement of merger or consolidation. Such agreement shall provide
for one or more of the following:

          (a) The continuation of such outstanding Awards by the Company (if the Company
is the surviving corporation).

          (b) The assumption of such outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or
its parent, provided that the assumption of Options or SARs shall comply with
Section 424(a) of the Code (whether or not the Options are ISOs).

          (c) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its parent of new awards
for such outstanding Awards, provided that the substitution of Options or SARs shall
comply with Section 424(a) of the Code (whether or not the Options are ISOs).

9

 

          (d) Full exercisability of outstanding Options and SARs and full vesting of the
Common Shares subject to such Options and SARs, followed by the cancellation of such
Options and SARs. The full exercisability of such Options and SARs and full vesting
of such Common Shares may be contingent on the closing of such merger or
consolidation. The Optionees shall be able to exercise such Options and SARs during
a period of not less than five full business days preceding the closing date of such
merger or consolidation, unless (i) a shorter period is required to permit a timely
closing of such merger or consolidation and (ii) such shorter period still offers
the Optionees a reasonable opportunity to exercise such Options and SARs. Any
exercise of such Options and SARs during such period may be contingent on the
closing of such merger or consolidation.

          (e) The cancellation of outstanding Options and SARs and a payment to the
Optionees equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares
subject to such Options and SARs (whether or not such Options and SARs are then
exercisable or such Common Shares are then vested) as of the closing date of such
merger or consolidation over (ii) their Exercise Price. Such payment shall be made
in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving corporation or
its parent with a Fair Market Value equal to the required amount. Such payment may
be made in installments and may be deferred until the date or dates when such
Options and SARs would have become exercisable or such Common Shares would have
vested. Such payment may be subject to vesting based on the Optionee’s continuing
Service, provided that the vesting schedule shall not be less favorable to the
Optionee than the schedule under which such Options and SARs would have become
exercisable or such Common Shares would have vested. If the Exercise Price of the
Common Shares subject to such Options and SARs exceeds the Fair Market Value of such
Common Shares, then such Options and SARs may be cancelled without making a payment
to the Optionees. For purposes of this Subsection (e), the Fair Market Value of any
security shall be determined without regard to any vesting conditions that may apply
to such security.

          (f) The cancellation of outstanding Stock Units and a payment to the
Participants equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares subject to such
Stock Units (whether or not such Stock Units are then vested) as of the closing date
of such merger or consolidation. Such payment shall be made in the form of cash,
cash equivalents, or securities of the surviving corporation or its parent with a
Fair Market Value equal to the required amount. Such payment may be made in
installments and may be deferred until the date or dates when such Stock Units would
have vested. Such payment may be subject to vesting based on the Participant’s
continuing Service, provided that the vesting schedule shall not be less favorable
to the Participant than the schedule under which such Stock Units would have vested.
For purposes of this Subsection (f), the Fair Market Value of any security shall be
determined without regard to any vesting conditions that may apply to such security.

thereof, as determined by the Board. Such NSOs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall be issued
under the Plan. An election under this Article 12 shall be filed with the Company on the
prescribed form.

          12.3 Number and Terms of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. The number of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units to be granted to Outside Directors in
lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would otherwise be paid in cash shall be calculated
in a manner determined by the Board. The terms of such NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units
shall also be determined by the Board.

     ARTICLE 13. LIMITATION ON RIGHTS.

          13.1 Retention Rights. Neither the Plan nor any Award granted under the Plan shall be deemed to give any
individual a right to remain an Employee, Outside Director or Consultant. The Company and its
Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates reserve the right to terminate the Service of any Employee,
Outside Director or Consultant at any time, with or without cause, subject to applicable laws, the
Company’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws and a written employment agreement (if any).

          13.2 Stockholders’ Rights. A Participant shall have no dividend rights, voting rights or other rights as a stockholder
with respect to any Common Shares covered by his or her Award prior to the time when a stock
certificate for such Common Shares is issued or, if applicable, the time when he or she becomes
entitled to receive such Common Shares by filing any required notice of exercise and paying any
required Exercise Price. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which
the record date is prior to such time, except as expressly provided in the Plan.

          13.3 Regulatory Requirements. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the obligation of the Company to issue
Common Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations and
such approval by any regulatory body as may be required. The Company reserves the right to
restrict, in whole or in part, the delivery of Common Shares pursuant to any Award prior to the
satisfaction of all legal requirements relating to the issuance of such Common Shares, to their
registration, qualification or listing or to an exemption from registration, qualification or
listing.

     ARTICLE 14. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

          14.1 General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or
his or her successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of
any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the

11

 

Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Common Shares or make any cash payment
under the Plan until such obligations are satisfied.

          14.2 Share Withholding. To the extent that applicable law subjects a Participant to tax withholding obligations,
the Committee may permit such Participant to satisfy all or part of such obligations by having the
Company withhold all or a portion of any Common Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her
or by surrendering all or a portion of any Common Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such
Common Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when they are withheld or
surrendered. This Section 14.2 shall apply only to the minimum extent required by applicable tax
laws.
