                                    RECITALS

      WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Parent has approved this Agreement and
determined that the merger of Merger Sub with and into INX (the "MERGER") in
accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as
amended (the "DGCL"), and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
is advisable and in the best interests of Parent and its stockholders;

      WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Merger Sub has approved this Agreement
and determined that the Merger in accordance with the provisions of DGCL, and

Agreement;

      WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of INX has approved this Agreement and
determined that the Merger, in accordance with the provisions of the DGCL, and

best interests of INX and its stockholders;

      WHEREAS, as a result of the Merger, and in accordance with the DGCL, each
issued and outstanding share of INX common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the "INX COMMON STOCK"), other than shares of INX Common Stock owned by Parent,

to the conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, Merger Sub

accordance with such section. The Merger shall become effective at such time as
the Certificate of Merger is properly executed and filed, or at such other time

                        EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE STOCK
                 OF INX AND MERGER SUB; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

      Section 3.1 Effect on INX Stock and INX Stock Options. As of the Effective
Time, by virtue of the Merger, and without any further action by Merger Sub or
INX or by the holders of any securities of Merger Sub or INX:

            (a) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent Owned Stock. Each
      share of INX Common Stock that is owned by INX, Merger Sub, Parent or any
      wholly-owned subsidiary of INX or Parent immediately prior to the
      Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease
      to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

            (b) Conversion of INX Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding
      share of INX Common Stock (other than shares to be canceled in accordance
      with SECTION 3.1(A) or as otherwise provided for in SECTION 3.5 with
      respect to shares of INX Common Stock as to which appraisal rights have
      been exercised) shall be converted into the right to receive 0.136054 (the
      "CONVERSION RATIO") of a share of the Parent's common stock, par value
      $0.01 per share (the "PARENT COMMON STOCK"). The Parent Common Stock
      issued in the Merger is hereinafter referred to as the "STOCK
      CONSIDERATION." As of the Effective Time, all such shares of INX Common
      Stock converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration shall no
      longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and
      shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate or certificates
      which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding
      shares of INX Common Stock (the "INX CERTIFICATES") shall cease to have
      any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Stock
      Consideration (plus the Fractional Cash Payment pursuant to subsection (c)
      below) into which such shares have been converted.

            (c) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of
      this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be
      issued upon the surrender for exchange of INX Certificates, and no holder
      of INX Common Stock shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of
      Parent Common Stock. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
      Agreement, each holder of shares of INX Common Stock converted pursuant to
      the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of
      a share of Parent Common Stock (after taking into account all INX

                                       3
<PAGE>
      Certificates delivered by such holder) shall receive from INX (and not
      from Parent or Merger Sub), in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an
      amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the average of the
      last reported sales prices of Parent Common Stock, as reported on the
      American Stock Exchange ("AMEX"), on each of the ten trading days
      immediately preceding the date of the Effective Time (such cash payment is
      referred to herein as the "FRACTIONAL CASH PAYMENT" and together with the
      Stock Consideration, the "MERGER CONSIDERATION").

            (d) Assumption of INX Employee Stock Options. Each INX stock option
      shall be assumed by Parent as set forth in SECTION 8.9.

      Section 3.2 Effect on the Stock of Merger Sub. As of the Effective Time,
each share of the Merger Sub's common stock, par value $.10 per share (the
"MERGER SUB COMMON STOCK"), that was outstanding prior to the Effective Time
shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock
of the Surviving Corporation, par value $.10 per share ("NEW INX COMMON Stock").
As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall no
longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall
cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate or certificates which
immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Merger
Sub Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the
right to receive the number of shares of New INX Common Stock into which such
shares have been converted.

      Section 3.3 Exchange of Certificates.

            (a) Surrender of INX Certificates. At the Closing, each holder of
      record of shares of INX Common Stock whose shares were converted into the
      right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to SECTION 3.1 shall
      deliver, or cause to be delivered on its behalf, one or more INX
      Certificates, in proper and negotiable form representing the number of
      shares of INX Common Stock held of record by each such holder. Upon
      surrender of an INX Certificate for cancellation to Parent, together with
      such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Parent, the
      holder of such Certificate that is entitled to receive Parent Common Stock
      in the Merger shall receive in exchange therefor a certificate
      representing that number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock in the
      Merger shall receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing that
      number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock which such holder has the
      right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 3 and cash in
      lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock in accordance with
      SECTION 3.1(C) and the INX Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be
      canceled. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to
      holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE 3.

            (b) Lost Certificates. If any INX Certificate shall have been lost,
      stolen or destroyed, in lieu of such INX Certificate, the Stockholder
      claiming such INX Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed shall
      deliver an affidavit of that fact, in such form as may be requested by the
      Parent or the Parent's transfer agent (the "LOST STOCK AFFIDAVIT"). The
      Parent may require the posting by such Stockholder of a bond in such
      reasonable amount as the Parent may direct as indemnity against any claim
      that may be made against it with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed
      INX Certificate.

                                       4
<PAGE>
            (c) No Further Ownership Rights in INX Common Stock. All shares of
      Parent Common Stock issued upon the surrender of an INX Certificate in
      accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE 3 (including any Fractional Cash
      Payments paid by INX pursuant to this ARTICLE 3) shall be deemed to have
      been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to
      the shares of INX Common Stock theretofore represented by such INX
      Certificates, subject, however, to the Surviving Entity's obligation to
      pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior
      to the Effective Time which may have been authorized or made by INX on
      such shares of INX Common Stock as the case may be, which remain unpaid at
      the Effective Time.

      Section 3.4 Rule 16b-3 Approval. Each of the Parent, INX and Merger Sub
agree that their respective board of directors shall, at or prior to the
Effective Time, adopt resolutions specifically approving, for purposes of Rule
16b-3 ("RULE 16B-3") of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "SEC") under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "EXCHANGE
ACT"), the receipt, pursuant to this Agreement, of Parent Common Stock and of
options to acquire Parent Common Stock, by executive officers or directors of
the Parent and INX who become executive officers or directors of the Parent
subject to Rule 16b-3.

      Section 3.5 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding SECTION 3.1, shares of INX
Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a
holder of record who has not consented to the Merger in writing and who has
demanded appraisal for such shares of INX Common Stock ("DISSENTING SHARES") in
accordance with the DGCL shall not be converted into a right to receive any
applicable Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect or

such holder of record fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to
appraisal, such shares of INX Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been
cancelled and converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive the
applicable Merger Consideration. Any consideration other than the Merger
Consideration with respect to such Dissenting Shares shall be paid exclusively
by INX, and Parent shall have no obligation for same. INX shall give Parent
prompt notice of any demands received for appraisal of shares of INX Common
Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and
proceedings with respect to such demands. INX shall not, except with the prior
written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer
to settle, any such demands.

with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with
notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under or result in
the termination of, or accelerate the performance by, or result in a right of
termination under, or result in the creation of any Lien upon the shares of INX
Common Stock owned by such Stockholder or INX Stock Options or shares of INX

Person is required with respect to such Stockholder, individually, in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the

the Company (or a notation may be made in the appropriate records of the
Company) in connection with the shares of Parent Common Stock.

regulatory authority relating to

                                       10

the fairness of an investment in the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued

      Stockholder, and Parent may rely conclusively, absolutely and exclusively,

      every such Stockholder. Parent is hereby relieved from any liability to
      any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision,
      act, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative.

                                       12
<PAGE>

         Section 8.9 INX Employee Stock Options, Incentives and Benefit Plans.

                  (a) At the Effective Time, each INX Stock Option granted under
         the INX Stock Option Plan, whether vested or unvested, shall be deemed
         assumed by Parent and shall thereafter be deemed to constitute a
         fully-vested option (i) to acquire that number of shares of Parent
         Common Stock equal to the product of (x) number of shares of INX Common
         Stock that were granted under such INX Stock Option multiplied by (y)
         the Conversion Ratio, (ii) at an exercise price equal to the quotient
         of (a) the exercise price of such INX Stock Option as stated in the INX
         Stock Option divided by (b) the Conversion Ratio, and (iii) on the same
         terms and conditions as were applicable under such INX Stock Option
         immediately prior to the Effective Time (in accordance with the past
         practice of INX with respect to interpretation and application of such
         terms and conditions and in compliance with the requirements of Code
         Section 424). For example, and solely for the purposes of illustrating
         the mechanics of the conversion and assumption of an INX Stock Option,
         immediately prior to the Effective Time, an INX Stock Option to acquire
         735 shares of INX Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share
         shall be deemed to be an option to purchase 100 shares of Parent Common
         Stock (735 shares of INX Common Stock multiplied by the Conversion
         Ratio = 100 shares of Parent Common Stock) at an exercise price of
         $1.47 ($0.20 exercise price stated in INX Stock Option divided by the
         Conversion Ratio). In addition, each of Parent and INX shall prior to
         the Effective Time make any amendments to the terms of its respective
         stock option or compensation plans or arrangements that are necessary
         to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section.

                  (b) Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to
         reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common
         Stock for delivery pursuant to this Section.

                  (c) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time,
         Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on
         Form S-8 to register the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon
         the exercise of the INX Stock Options assumed by Parent pursuant to
         this Section.

         Section 8.10 Restrictions on Parent Common Stock.

                  (a) Each Stockholder covenants that in no event will it sell,
         transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of Parent Common
         Stock it receives in the Merger other than in conjunction with an
         effective registration statement for the shares under the Securities
         Act or pursuant to an exemption therefrom, or in compliance with Rule
         144 promulgated under the Securities Act or to a person related to or
         an entity affiliated with said Purchaser and other than in compliance
         with the applicable securities regulation laws of any state;

                  (b) Parent will place a legend on each certificate

shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of
compliance with any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements
contained in this Agreement. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any
provision hereunder shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior
or subsequent breach of the same or any other provision hereunder.

any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If
any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the
provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

Exhibit 10.1

NOBLE ENERGY, INC.

1992 STOCK OPTION AND RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

     THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this       day of                               , by and between NOBLE ENERGY, INC.,
a Delaware corporation (herein called the “Company”), and                                          (herein called
“Employee”),

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Compensation, Benefits and Stock Option Committee (the “Committee”) of the
Company’s Board of Directors, acting under the Company’s 1992 Stock Option and Restricted Stock
Plan adopted on January 28, 1992, as amended (herein called the “Plan”), has determined that it is
desirable to grant an option under the Plan to Employee, who is currently employed by the Company
or subsidiary (as hereinafter defined);

     NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed as follows:

     1. Grant of Option, Option Period and Terms of Exercise of Option. The Company
hereby grants to Employee the option to purchase, as hereinafter set
forth,                      shares of
common stock of the Company at the price of $           per share, for a period commencing one year from
the date of this Agreement and terminating on the first to occur of (1) the expiration of ten years
from the date of this Agreement, or (2) when the employment of Employee by the Company or a
subsidiary of the Company has terminated for any reason; provided that, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9 of the Plan, the number of shares purchasable hereunder in any periods of
time during which the option evidenced hereby is exercisable shall be limited as follows: (a)
                     shares are purchasable commencing one year from the date of this Agreement; (b)                      shares are purchasable commencing two years from the date of this Agreement; and
(c)                      shares are purchasable commencing three years from the date of this Agreement; provided further that if
said employment terminates more than one year and less than ten years from the date hereof other
than by reason of death, disability, or retirement, then Employee may exercise this option, to the
extent he was able to do so at the date of the termination of employment, at any time within one
year after such termination but not after the expiration of the ten-year period; and provided
further that if said employment terminates more than one year and less than ten years from the date
hereof by reason of Employee’s death, disability, or retirement, then Employee, the executor or
administrator of the estate of Employee, or any person who has acquired this option directly from
Employee by bequest or inheritance may exercise this option to the extent Employee was entitled to
exercise it on the date of his death, disability, or retirement, at any time within five years
after such death, disability, or retirement, but not after the expiration of the ten-year period.
Retirement is defined in the Plan as termination of employment by a person who is 55 years of age
with five or more years of credited

 

 

service with the Company, or a person who has at least twenty years of credited service with the
Company prior to termination of employment, or whose termination of employment with the Company by
reason of retirement has been approved in writing by the Committee acting in its discretion.

Transfer of employment without interruption of service between or among the Company and its
subsidiaries shall not be considered a termination of service. The term “subsidiary” as used in
this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1(m) of the Plan and shall include
future as well as present subsidiaries. This option is, and is intended to be, a nonqualified
stock option, and it is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422A of
the Internal Revenue Code.

     2. Exercise Following Change in Control. Any provision of paragraph 1 hereof to the
contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined below) while
Employee is employed by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, (i) this option may be
exercised to purchase all of the shares of Company common stock that are then subject to this
option, and (ii) the phrases “more than one year and” used in paragraph 1 hereof shall not apply as
a condition for the exercise of this option following a termination of Employee’s employment with
the Company or a subsidiary of the Company. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in
Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if:

     (1) individuals who, as of                     , constitute the Board of Directors of the
Company (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least fifty-one
percent (51%) of the Board of Directors of the Company, provided that any person becoming a
director subsequent to                               , whose election, or nomination for election by the
Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then
comprising the Incumbent Board shall be, for purposes of this Agreement, considered as
though such person were a member of the Incumbent Board;

     (2) the stockholders of the Company shall approve a reorganization, merger or
consolidation, in each case, with respect to which persons who were the stockholders of the
Company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger or consolidation do not,
immediately thereafter, own outstanding voting securities representing at least fifty-one
percent (51%) of the combined voting power entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors (“Voting Securities”) of the reorganized, merged or consolidated company;

     (3) the stockholders of the Company shall approve a liquidation or dissolution of the
Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of the Company; or

     (4) any “person,” as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)
(other than the Company, any of its subsidiaries, any employee benefit plan of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries, or any entity organized, appointed or established by the

2

 

 Company for
or pursuant to the terms of such a plan), together with all “affiliates” and “associates”
(as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such person (as well as
any “Person” or “group” as those terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange
Act), shall become the “beneficial owner” or “beneficial owners” (as defined in Rules 13d-3
and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing in the aggregate twenty-five percent (25%) or more of either (A) the then
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $3.33-1/3 per share, of the Company (“Common
Stock”) or (B) the Voting Securities of the Company, in either such case other than solely
as a result of acquisitions of such securities directly from the Company. Without limiting
the foregoing, a person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement,
understanding, relationship or otherwise has or shares the power to vote, or to direct the
voting of, or to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, Common Stock or other Voting
Securities of the Company shall be deemed the beneficial owner of such Common Stock or
Voting Securities.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” of the Company shall not be deemed to have
occurred for purposes of subparagraph (4) of this paragraph 2 solely as the result of an
acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock or
other Voting Securities of the Company outstanding, increases (i) the proportionate number of
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any person to twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the
shares of Common Stock then outstanding or (ii) the proportionate voting power represented by the
Voting Securities of the Company beneficially owned by any person to twenty-five percent (25%) or
more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however,
that if any person referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of this sentence shall thereafter become the
beneficial owner of any additional shares of Common Stock or other Voting Securities of the Company
(other than a result of a stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction), then a Change in
Control of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes subparagraph (4) of this
paragraph 2.

     3. No Guaranty of Employment. The grant of this option shall not be deemed to
entitle Employee to continued employment by the Company or any subsidiary for any specific period
of time.

     4. Requirement of Employment. Except as provided in paragraph 1 hereof, this option
may not be exercised unless Employee is at the time of exercise an employee of the Company or a
subsidiary.

     5. Exercise of Option. This option may be exercised by written notice signed by the
Employee or electronic notice in form acceptable by the Company or its designee, either of which
must be delivered to the Company or its designee. Such notice shall state the number of shares as to which the option is exercised and shall be accompanied by the full
amount of the purchase price of such shares. Promptly after demand by the Company or its
designee, Employee shall pay to the Company or its designee an amount

3

 

equal to any applicable withholding taxes due in connection with the exercise of this option. Payment of the purchase
price of the shares and payment of the applicable withholding taxes can be accomplished under the
broker-assisted exercise program administered by the Company’s designee, if any, then in effect.

     6. Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise of Option. Delivery of the certificates
representing the purchased stock shall be made promptly after receipt of notice of exercise and
payment of the purchase price and the amount of any withholding taxes to the Company, if required,
provided that the Company shall have such time as it reasonably deems necessary to qualify or
register such stock on any exchange that it deems desirable or necessary.

     7. Adjustments Upon Changes in Common Stock. In the event that before delivery by
the Company of all the shares of stock in respect of which this option and rights are hereby
granted, the Company shall have effected a common stock split or dividend payable in common stock
or the outstanding common stock of the Company shall have been combined into a smaller number of
shares, the shares still subject to the option hereby granted shall be increased or decreased to
reflect proportionately the increase or decrease in the number of shares outstanding, and the
purchase price per share shall be decreased or increased so that the aggregate purchase price for
all the then optioned shares shall remain the same as immediately prior to such stock split, stock
dividend or combination. In the event of a reclassification of stock not covered by the foregoing,
or in the event of a liquidation or reorganization, including a merger, consolidation or sale of
assets, it is agreed that the Board of Directors of the Company shall make such adjustments, if
any, as it may deem appropriate in the number, purchase price and kind of shares still subject to
the option and rights hereby granted.

     8. Transferability. The option evidenced hereby is not transferable by Employee
other than (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) to a permitted transferee
(as defined in the Plan) in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

     9. Termination of Employment on Account of Fraud. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, in the event of the termination of employment of Employee on account of fraud,
dishonesty or other acts detrimental to the interests of the Company or a subsidiary, this option
shall automatically terminate and be null and void as of the date of such termination of
employment.
