        1.    ESTABLISHMENT,
PURPOSE AND TERM OF PLAN.  

        
      1.1   
Establishment. The PURE Bioscience 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”)
is hereby adopted ___________, 2007 subject to approval by the shareholders of the
Company (the date of such approval, the “Effective Date”).  

        
      1.2   
Purpose. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Participating
Company Group and its shareholders by providing an incentive to attract and retain the
best qualified personnel to perform services for the Participating Company Group, by
motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the
Participating Company Group, by aligning their interests with interests of the Company’s
shareholders, and by rewarding such persons for their services by tying a significant
portion of their total compensation package to the success of the Company. The Plan seeks
to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of Options, Stock
Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Performance Shares, Performance Units,
Restricted Stock Units, Deferred Compensation Awards and other Stock-Based Awards as
described below.  

        
      1.3   
Term of Plan. The Plan shall continue in effect until the earlier of its
termination by the Board or the date on which all of the shares of Stock available for
issuance under the Plan have been issued and all restrictions on such shares under the
terms of the Plan and the agreements evidencing Awards granted under the Plan have
lapsed. However, Awards shall not be granted later than ten (10) years from the Effective
Date. The Company intends that the Plan comply with Section 409A of the Code (including
any amendments to or replacements of such section), and the Plan shall be so construed.

the Company directly, or           indirectly through one or more intermediary entities.
For this purpose, the term           “control” (including the term “controlled

Ownership Change Event or a series of related Ownership Change Events
          (collectively, a “Transaction”) in which the
          shareholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do not retain

and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is
approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in
satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to
matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such
person is liable for gross negligence, bad faith or intentional misconduct in duties;
provided, however, that within sixty (60) days after the institution of such action, suit
or proceeding, such person shall offer to the Company, in writing, the opportunity at its
own expense to handle and defend the same.  

        3.7   
Arbitration. Any dispute or claim concerning any Awards granted (or not granted)
pursuant to this Plan and any other disputes or claims relating to or arising out of the
Plan shall be fully, finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration conducted
pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. By
accepting an Award, Participants and the Company waive their respective rights to have
any such disputes or claims tried by a judge or jury.  

        3.8   
Repricing Prohibited. Without the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the
shares of Stock cast in person or by proxy at a meeting of the shareholders of the
Company at which a quorum representing a majority of all outstanding shares of Stock is
present or represented by proxy, the Committee shall not approve a program providing for
either (a) the cancellation of outstanding Options or SARs and the grant in substitution
therefore of new Awards having a lower exercise price or (b) the amendment of outstanding
Options or SARs to reduce the exercise price thereof. This paragraph shall not be
construed to apply to the issuance or assumption of an Award in a transaction to which
Code section 424(a) applies, within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code.  

    4.    SHARES
SUBJECT TO PLAN.  

        4.1   
Maximum Number of Shares Issuable. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2,
the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall
be [five million (5,000,000)] and shall consist of authorized but unissued or
reacquired shares of Stock or any combination thereof. If an outstanding Award for any
reason expires or is terminated or canceled without having been exercised or settled in
full, or if shares of Stock acquired pursuant to an Award subject to forfeiture or
repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Company, the shares of Stock allocable to
the terminated portion of such Award or such forfeited or repurchased shares of Stock
shall again be available for issuance under the Plan. When a SAR settled in shares of
Stock is exercised, the total number of shares subject to the SAR Agreement with respect
to which the exercise occurs shall count against the limit, regardless of the number of
shares actually issued in settlement of the SAR. Shares used to pay the exercise price of
an option shall not again become available for future grant or issuance under the Plan.
Shares used to satisfy tax withholding obligations shall not become available for future
grant or issuance under the Plan. To the extent an Award is settled in cash rather than
shares of Stock, such cash payment shall not reduce the number of shares available for
issuance under the Plan.  

9 

        4.2   
Adjustments for Changes in Capital Structure. Subject to any required action by
the shareholders of the Company, in the event of any change in the Stock effected without
receipt of consideration by the Company, whether through merger, consolidation,
reorganization, reincorporation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend,
stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination of shares,
exchange of shares, or similar change in the capital structure of the Company, or in the
event of payment of a dividend or distribution to the shareholders of the Company in a
form other than Stock (excepting normal cash dividends) that has a material effect on the
Fair Market Value of shares of Stock, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the number
and kind of shares subject to the Plan and to any outstanding Awards, in the Award limits
set forth in Section 5.4, and in the exercise or purchase price per share under any
outstanding Award in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Participants’ rights
under the Plan. For purposes of the foregoing, conversion of any convertible securities
of the Company shall not be treated as “effected without receipt of consideration by
the Company.” If a majority of the shares which are of the same class as the shares
that are subject to outstanding Awards are exchanged for, converted into, or otherwise
become (whether or not pursuant to an Ownership Change Event) shares of another
corporation (the “New Shares”), the Committee may
unilaterally amend the outstanding Options to provide that such Options are exercisable
for New Shares. In the event of any such amendment, the number of shares subject to, and
the exercise price per share of, the outstanding Awards shall be adjusted in a fair and
equitable manner as determined by the Board, in its discretion. Any fractional share
resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be rounded down to
the nearest whole number. The Committee in its sole discretion, may also make such
adjustments in the terms of any Award to reflect, or related to, such changes in the
capital structure of the Company or distributions as it deems appropriate, including
modification of Performance Goals, Performance Award Formulas and Performance Periods.
The adjustments determined by the Committee pursuant to this Section 4.2 shall be
final, binding and conclusive.  

    5.    ELIGIBILITY
AND AWARD LIMITATIONS.  

        5.1   
Persons Eligible for Awards. Awards may be granted only to Employees, Consultants
and Directors. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, “Employees,” “Consultants”and
“Directors” shall include prospective Employees, prospective Consultants and
prospective Directors to whom Awards are offered to be granted in connection with written
offers of an employment or other service relationship with the Participating Company
Group; provided, however, that no Stock subject to any such Award shall vest, become
exercisable or be issued prior to the date on which such person commences Service.  

10 

        
      5.2   
Participation. Awards other than Nonemployee Director Awards are granted solely at
the discretion of the Committee. Eligible persons may be granted more than one Award.
However, eligibility in accordance with this Section shall not entitle any person to be
granted an Award, or, having been granted an Award, to be granted an additional Award.  

        
      5.3   
Incentive Stock Option Limitations.  

        
      
      (a)    Persons
Eligible. An Incentive Stock Option may be granted           only to a
person who, on the effective date of grant, is an Employee of the           Company, a
Parent Corporation or a Subsidiary Corporation (each being an “ISO-Qualifying
Corporation”). Any person who is           not an Employee of an
ISO-Qualifying Corporation on the effective date of the           grant of an Option to
such person may be granted only a Nonstatutory Stock           Option. An Incentive Stock
Option granted to a prospective Employee upon the           condition that such person
become an Employee of an ISO-Qualifying Corporation           shall be deemed granted
effective on the date such person commences Service with           an ISO-Qualifying
Corporation, with an exercise price determined as of such date           in accordance
with Section 6.1.  

        
      
      (b)    Fair
Market Value Limitation. To the extent that options           designated
as Incentive Stock Options (granted under all stock option plans of           the
Participating Company Group, including the Plan) become exercisable by a
          Participant for the first time during any calendar year for stock having a Fair
          Market Value greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the portion
          of such options which exceeds such amount shall be treated as Nonstatutory
Stock           Options. For purposes of this Section, options designated as Incentive
Stock           Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were
granted, and           the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time
the option           with respect to such stock is granted. If the Code is amended to
provide for a           limitation different from that set forth in this Section, such
different           limitation shall be deemed incorporated herein effective as of the
date and with           respect to such Options as required or permitted by such
amendment to the Code.           If an Option is treated as an Incentive Stock Option in
part and as a           Nonstatutory Stock Option in part by reason of the limitation set
forth in this           Section, the Participant may designate which portion of such
Option the           Participant is exercising. In the absence of such designation, the
Participant           shall be deemed to have exercised the Incentive Stock Option
portion of the           Option first. Upon exercise, shares issued pursuant to each such
portion shall           be separately identified.  

        
      5.4   
Award Limits.  

        
      
      (a)    Maximum
Number of Shares Issuable Pursuant to Incentive Stock           Options.
Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2,           the maximum aggregate
number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the           Plan pursuant to the
exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall not exceed [five million (5,000,000)] shares.
The maximum aggregate number of shares           of Stock that may be issued under the
Plan pursuant to all Awards other than           Incentive Stock Options shall be the
number of shares determined in accordance           with Section 4.1, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 4.2.  

        
      
      (b)    Section
162(m) Award Limits. The following limits shall           apply to the
grant of any Award if, at the time of grant, the Company is a           “publicly
held corporation” within the meaning of Section 162(m).  

11 

        
      
            (i)    Options
and SARs. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2,           no
Employee shall be granted within any fiscal year of the Company one or more
          Options or Freestanding SARs which in the aggregate are for more than [five
          hundred thousand (500,000)] shares of Stock reserved for issuance under the
          Plan.  

        
      
      
      (ii)    Restricted
Stock, Restricted Stock Unit Awards and Performance Shares.           Subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, no Employee shall be           granted within
any fiscal year of the Company one or more Restricted Stock           Awards or
Restricted Stock Unit Awards, subject to Vesting Conditions based on           the
attainment of Performance Goals, or Performance Shares, for more than [two hundred
fifty thousand (250,000)] shares of Stock in the aggregate           under the Plan.  

        
      
      
      (iii)    Performance
Units. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2,           no Employee
shall be granted Performance Units which could result in such           Employee
receiving more than [five million dollars ($5,000,000)] for each           full
fiscal year of the Company contained in the Performance Period for such           Award.
No Participant may be granted more than one Performance Award for the           same
Performance Period.  

        6.    TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.  

        Options
shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of Stock covered
thereby, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. No Option or
purported Option shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced
by a fully executed Award Agreement. Award Agreements evidencing Options may incorporate
all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to
the following terms and conditions:  

        
      6.1   
Exercise Price. The exercise price for each Option shall be established in the
discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per share
shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of
grant of the Option and (b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner
shall have an exercise price per share less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the
Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Option.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option (whether an Incentive Stock Option or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option) may be granted with an exercise price lower than the minimum
exercise price set forth above if such Option is granted pursuant to an assumption or
substitution for another option in a manner qualifying under the provisions of Section 424(a)
of the Code.  

        
      6.2   
Exercisability and Term of Options.  

        
      
      (a)    Option
Vesting and Exercisability. Options shall be           exercisable at such
time or times, or upon such event or events, and subject to           such terms,
conditions, performance criteria and restrictions as shall be           determined by the
Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such           Option;
provided, however, that (a) no Option shall be exercisable after           the
expiration of ten (10) years after the effective date of grant of such           Option,
(b) no Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall           be
exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years after the effective date           of
grant of such Option, and (c) no Option offered or granted to a
          prospective Employee, prospective Consultant or prospective Director may become
          exercisable prior to the date on which such person commences Service. Subject
to           the foregoing, unless otherwise specified by the Committee in the grant of
an           Option, any Option granted hereunder shall terminate ten (10) years after
the           effective date of grant of the Option, unless earlier terminated in
accordance           with its provisions, or the terms of the Plan.  

12 

        
      
      (b)    Participant
Responsibility for Exercise of Option. Each           Participant is
responsible for taking any and all actions as may be required to           exercise any
Option in a timely manner, and for properly executing any documents           as may be
required for the exercise of an Option in accordance with such rules           and
procedures as may be established from time to time. By signing an Option
          Agreement each Participant acknowledges that information regarding the
          procedures and requirements for the exercise of any Option is available upon
          such Participant’s request. The Company shall have no duty or obligation
to           notify any Participant of the expiration date of any Option.  

     6.3  
Payment of Exercise Price.  

        
      
      (a)    Forms
          of Consideration Authorized. Except as otherwise provided below,
          payment of the exercise price for the number of shares of Stock being purchased
          pursuant to any Option shall be made (i) in cash, by check or in cash
          equivalent, (ii) by tender to the Company, or attestation to the
ownership,           of shares of Stock owned by the Participant having a Fair Market
Value not less           than the exercise price, (iii) by such other consideration
as may be           approved by the Committee from time to time to the extent permitted
by           applicable law, or (iv) by any combination thereof. The Committee may
at           any time or from time to time grant Options which do not permit all of the
          foregoing forms of consideration to be used in payment of the exercise price or
          which otherwise restrict one or more forms of consideration.  

        
      
      (b)    Limitations
on Forms of Consideration.  

        
      
      
      (i)    Tender
of Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may not be           exercised by
tender to the Company, or attestation to the ownership, of shares           of Stock to
the extent such tender or attestation would constitute a violation           of the
provisions of any law, regulation or agreement restricting the redemption           of
the Company’s stock.  

        
      
      
      (ii)    Payment
by Promissory Note. No promissory note shall be permitted if the           exercise
of an Option using a promissory note would be a violation of any law.           Any
permitted promissory note shall be on such terms as the Committee shall
          determine. The Committee shall have the authority to permit or require the
          Participant to secure any promissory note used to exercise an Option with the
          shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of the Option or with other
          collateral acceptable to the Company. Unless otherwise provided by the
          Committee, if the Company at any time is subject to the regulations promulgated
          by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other
          governmental entity affecting the extension of credit in connection with the
          Company’s securities, any promissory note shall comply with such
applicable           regulations, and the Participant shall pay the unpaid principal and
accrued           interest, if any, to the extent necessary to comply with such
applicable           regulations.  

13 

        
      6.4    Effect of
Termination of Service. 

        
      
      
      (a)    Option
Exercisability. Subject to earlier termination of           the Option as
otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the           Committee, an
Option shall be exercisable after a Participant’s termination           of Service
only during the applicable time periods provided in the Award           Agreement.  

        
      
      
      (b)    Extension
if Exercise Prevented by Law. Notwithstanding the           foregoing,
unless the Committee provides otherwise in the Award Agreement, if           the exercise
of an Option within the applicable time periods is prevented by the           provisions
of Section 14 below, the Option shall remain exercisable until           three (3)
months (or such longer period of time as determined by the Committee,           in its
discretion) after the date the Participant is notified by the Company           that the
Option is exercisable, but in any event no later than the Option           Expiration
Date.  

        
      
      
      (c)    Extension
if Participant Subject to Section 16(b).           Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods of           shares acquired
upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Participant to           suit under
Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain           exercisable
until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day           following the date
on which a sale of such shares by the Participant would no           longer be subject to
such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th)           day after the
Participant’s termination of Service, or (iii) the           Option Expiration
Date.  

        
      6.5   
Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Participant, an Option
shall be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal
representative. Prior to the issuance of shares of Stock upon the exercise of an Option,
the Option shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale,
exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the
Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by
the Committee, in its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such
Option, a Nonstatutory Stock Option shall be assignable or transferable subject to the
applicable limitations, if any, described in the General Instructions to Form S-8
Registration Statement under the Securities Act.  

        
      7.   TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.  

        Stock
Appreciation Rights shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of
shares of Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to
time establish. No SAR or purported SAR shall be a valid and binding obligation of the
Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement. Award Agreements evidencing
SARs may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply
with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:  

        
      7.1   
Types of SARs Authorized. SARs may be granted in tandem with all or any portion of
a related Option (a “Tandem SAR”) or may be granted
independently of any Option (a “Freestanding SAR”). A
Tandem SAR may be granted either concurrently with the grant of the related Option or at
any time thereafter prior to the complete exercise, termination, expiration or
cancellation of such related Option.  

14 

        
      7.2   
Exercise Price. The exercise price for each SAR shall be established in the
discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price per
share subject to a Tandem SAR shall be the exercise price per share under the related
Option and (b) the exercise price per share subject to a Freestanding SAR shall be
not less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of
the SAR.  

        
      7.3   
Exercisability and Term of SARs.  

        
      
      
      (a)    Tandem
SARs. Tandem SARs shall be exercisable only at the           time and to
the extent, and only to the extent, that the related Option is           exercisable,
subject to such provisions as the Committee may specify where the           Tandem SAR is
granted with respect to less than the full number of shares of           Stock subject to
the related Option.  

        
      
      
      (b)    Freestanding
SARs. Freestanding SARs shall be exercisable           at such time or
times, or upon such event or events, and subject to such terms,           conditions,
performance criteria and restrictions as shall be determined by the           Committee
and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing such SAR; provided,           however,
that no Freestanding SAR shall be exercisable after the expiration of           ten (10)
years after the effective date of grant of such SAR.  

        
      7.4   
Deemed Exercise of SARs. If, on the date on which an SAR would otherwise terminate
or expire, the SAR by its terms remains exercisable immediately prior to such termination
or expiration and, if so exercised, would result in a payment to the holder of such SAR,
then any portion of such SAR which has not previously been exercised shall automatically
be deemed to be exercised as of such date with respect to such portion.  

        
      7.5   
Effect of Termination of Service. Subject to earlier termination of the SAR as
otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the grant of
an SAR and set forth in the Award Agreement, an SAR shall be exercisable after a
Participant’s termination of Service only as provided in the Award Agreement.  

        
      7.6   
Nontransferability of SARs. During the lifetime of the Participant, an SAR shall
be exercisable only by the Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal
representative. Prior to the exercise of an SAR, the SAR shall not be subject in any
manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge,
encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s
beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  

        
      8.    TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.  

        Restricted
Stock Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of shares of
Stock subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time to time
establish. No Restricted Stock Award or purported Restricted Stock Award shall be a valid
and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award
Agreement. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Awards may incorporate all or any
of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the
following terms and conditions:  

15 

        
      8.1  
Types of Restricted Stock Awards Authorized. Restricted Stock Awards may or may
not require the payment of cash compensation for the stock. Restricted Stock Awards may
be granted upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine, including, without
limitation, upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals described in Section 9.4.
If either the grant of a Restricted Stock Award or the lapsing of the Restriction Period
is to be contingent upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals, the Committee
shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in Sections 9.3
through 9.5(a).  

        
      8.2  
Purchase Price. The purchase price, if any, for shares of Stock issuable under
each Restricted Stock Award and the means of payment shall be established by the
Committee in its discretion.  

        
      8.3  
Purchase Period. A Restricted Stock Award requiring the payment of cash
consideration shall be exercisable within a period established by the Committee;
provided, however, that no Restricted Stock Award granted to a prospective Employee,
prospective Consultant or prospective Director may become exercisable prior to the date
on which such person commences Service.  

        
      8.4  
Vesting and Restrictions on Transfer. Shares issued pursuant to any Restricted
Stock Award may or may not be made subject to Vesting Conditions based upon the
satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions, restrictions or performance
criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as described in Section 9.4,
as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement evidencing
such Award. During any Restriction Period in which shares acquired pursuant to a
Restricted Stock Award remain subject to Vesting Conditions, such shares may not be sold,
exchanged, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of other than as provided
in the Award Agreement or as provided in Section 8.7. Upon request by the Company,
each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions prior
to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder.  

        
      8.5  
Voting Rights; Dividends and Distributions. Except as provided in this Section,
Section 8.4 and any Award Agreement, during the Restriction Period applicable to
shares subject to a Restricted Stock Award, the Participant shall have all of the rights
of a shareholder of the Company holding shares of Stock, including the right to vote such
shares and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such
shares. However, in the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or
any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as
described in Section 4.2, any and all new, substituted or additional securities or
other property (other than normal cash dividends) to which the Participant is entitled by
reason of the Participant’s Restricted Stock Award shall be immediately subject to
the same Vesting Conditions as the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award with
respect to which such dividends or distributions were paid or adjustments were made.  

        
      8.6  
Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in
the grant of a Restricted Stock Award and set forth in the Award Agreement, if a
Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary
(including the Participant’s death or disability), then the Participant shall
forfeit to the Company any shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to a Restricted
Stock Award which remain subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s
termination of Service in exchange for the payment of the purchase price, if any, paid by
the Participant. The Company shall have the right to assign at any time any repurchase
right it may have, whether or not such right is then exercisable, to one or more persons
as may be selected by the Company.  

16 

        
      8.7  
Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Award Rights. Prior to the issuance of
shares of Stock pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award, rights to acquire such shares shall
not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the
Participant’s beneficiary, except transfer by will or the laws of descent and
distribution. All rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Award granted to a
Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such
Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.  

        
      9.   TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF PERFORMANCE AWARDS.  

        Performance
Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such form as the Committee shall from
time to time establish. No Performance Award or purported Performance Award shall be a
valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award
Agreement. Award Agreements evidencing Performance Awards may incorporate all or any of
the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following
terms and conditions:  

        
      9.1  
Types of Performance Awards Authorized. Performance Awards may be in the form of
either Performance Shares or Performance Units. Each Award Agreement evidencing a
Performance Award shall specify the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units
subject thereto, the Performance Award Formula, the Performance Goal(s) and Performance
Period applicable to the Award, and the other terms, conditions and restrictions of the
Award.  

        
      9.2  
Initial Value of Performance Shares and Performance Units. Unless otherwise
provided by the Committee in granting a Performance Award, each Performance Share shall
have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Stock, subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2, on the effective date of grant of the
Performance Share. Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value determined by the
Committee. The final value payable to the Participant in settlement of a Performance
Award determined on the basis of the applicable Performance Award Formula will depend on
the extent to which Performance Goals established by the Committee are attained within
the applicable Performance Period established by the Committee.  

        
      9.3  
Establishment of Performance Period, Performance Goals and Performance Award Formula.
In granting each Performance Award, the Committee shall establish in writing the
applicable Performance Period, Performance Award Formula and one or more Performance
Goals which, when measured at the end of the Performance Period, shall determine on the
basis of the Performance Award Formula the final value of the Performance Award to be
paid to the Participant. To the extent compliance with the requirements under Section 162(m)
with respect to “performance-based compensation” is desired, the Committee
shall establish the Performance Goal(s) and Performance Award Formula applicable to each
Performance Award no later than the earlier of (a) the date ninety (90) days after the
commencement of the applicable Performance Period or (b) the date on which 25% of the
Performance Period has elapsed, and, in any event, at a time when the outcome of the
Performance Goals remains substantially uncertain. Once established, the Performance
Goals and Performance Award Formula shall not be changed during the Performance Period.
The Company shall notify each Participant granted a Performance Award of the terms of
such Award, including the Performance Period, Performance Goal(s) and Performance Award
Formula.  

17 

        
      9.4  
Measurement of Performance Goals. Performance Goals shall be established by the
Committee on the basis of targets to be attained (“Performance Targets”)
with respect to one or more measures of business or financial performance (each, a “Performance
Measure”), subject to the following:  

        
      
      
      (a)
    Performance Measures. Performance Measures
shall have the           same meanings as used in the Company’s financial
statements, or, if such           terms are not used in the Company’s financial
statements, they shall have           the meaning applied pursuant to generally accepted
accounting principles, or as           used generally in the Company’s industry.
Performance Measures shall be           calculated with respect to the Company and each
Subsidiary Corporation           consolidated therewith for financial reporting purposes
or such division or           other business unit as may be selected by the Committee.
For purposes of the           Plan, the Performance Measures applicable to a Performance
Award shall be           calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, but           prior to the accrual or payment of any Performance Award for
the same           Performance Period and excluding the effect (whether positive or
negative) of           any change in accounting standards or any extraordinary, unusual
or nonrecurring           item, as determined by the Committee, occurring after the
establishment of the           Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Award.
Each such adjustment, if           any, shall be made solely for the purpose of providing
a consistent basis from           period to period for the calculation of Performance
Measures in order to prevent           the dilution or enlargement of the Participant’s
rights with respect to a           Performance Award. Performance Measures may be one or
more of the following, as           determined by the Committee: [(i) sales
revenue; (ii) gross margin;           (iii) operating margin; (iv) operating
income; (v) pre-tax           profit; (vi) earnings before stock-based
compensation expense, interest,           taxes and depreciation and amortization; (vii) earnings
before interest,           taxes and depreciation and amortization; (viii) earnings
before interest           and taxes; (ix) net income; (x) expenses; (xi) the
market price           of the Stock; (xii) stock price; (xiii) earnings per
share;           (xiv) return on shareholder equity; (xv) return on capital;
          (xvi) return on net assets; (xvii) economic value added;
          (xviii) market share; (xix) customer service; (xx) customer
          satisfaction; (xxi) safety; (xxii) total shareholder return;
          (xxiii) free cash flow; (xxiv) net operating income;           (xxv) operating
cash flow; (xxvi) return on investment; (xxvii)           employee satisfaction;
(xxviii) employee retention; (xxix) balance of cash,           cash equivalents and
marketable securities; (xxx) product development;           (xxxi) research and
development expenses; (xxxii) completion of an identified           special project;
(xxxiii) completion of a joint venture or other corporate           transaction;]
or (xxxiv) such other measures as determined by the           Committee
consistent with this Section 9.4(a).  

18 

        
      
      
      (b)    Performance
Targets. Performance Targets may include a           minimum, maximum,
target level and intermediate levels of performance, with the           final value of a
Performance Award determined under the applicable Performance           Award Formula by
the level attained during the applicable Performance Period. A           Performance
Target may be stated as an absolute value or as a value determined           relative to
a standard selected by the Committee.  

        
      9.5  
Settlement of Performance Awards.  

        
      
      
      (a)    Determination
of Final Value. As soon as practicable           following the completion
of the Performance Period applicable to a Performance           Award, the Committee
shall certify in writing the extent to which the applicable           Performance Goals
have been attained and the resulting final value of the Award           earned by the
Participant and to be paid upon its settlement in accordance with           the
applicable Performance Award Formula.  

        
      
      
      (b)    Discretionary
Adjustment of Award Formula. In its           discretion, the Committee
may, either at the time it grants a Performance Award           or at any time
thereafter, provide for the positive or negative adjustment of           the Performance
Award Formula applicable to a Performance Award that is not           intended to
constitute “qualified performance based compensation” to a           “covered
employee” within the meaning of Section 162(m) (a “Covered Employee”)
to reflect such           Participant’s individual performance in his or her
position with the           Company or such other factors as the Committee may determine.
With respect to a           Performance Award intended to constitute qualified
performance-based           compensation to a Covered Employee, the Committee shall have
the discretion to           reduce some or all of the value of the Performance Award that
would otherwise be           paid to the Covered Employee upon its settlement
notwithstanding the attainment           of any Performance Goal and the resulting value
of the Performance Award           determined in accordance with the Performance Award
Formula.  

        
      
      
      (c)    Payment
in Settlement of Performance Awards. As soon as           practicable
following the Committee’s determination and certification in           accordance
with Sections 9.5(a) and (b), payment shall be made to each           eligible
Participant (or such Participant’s legal representative or other           person
who acquired the right to receive such payment by reason of the           Participant’s
death) of the final value of the Participant’s           Performance Award. Payment
of such amount shall be made in cash in a lump sum or           in installments, shares
of Stock (either fully vested or subject to vesting), or           a combination thereof,
as determined by the Committee.  

        
      9.6  
Voting Rights; Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall
have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Performance Share
Awards until the date of the issuance of such shares, if any (as evidenced by the
appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of
the Company). However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award
Agreement evidencing any Performance Share Award that the Participant shall be entitled
to receive Dividend Equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock
having a record date prior to the date on which the Performance Shares are settled or
forfeited. Such Dividend Equivalents, if any, shall be credited to the Participant in the
form of additional whole Performance Shares as of the date of payment of such cash
dividends on Stock. The number of additional Performance Shares (rounded to the nearest
whole number) to be so credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the amount of
cash dividends paid on such date with respect to the number of shares of Stock
represented by the Performance Shares previously credited to the Participant by (b) the
Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Dividend Equivalents may be paid
currently or may be accumulated and paid to the extent that Performance Shares become
nonforfeitable, as determined by the Committee. Settlement of Dividend Equivalents may be
made in cash, shares of Stock, or a combination thereof as determined by the Committee,
and may be paid on the same basis as settlement of the related Performance Share as
provided in Section 9.5. Dividend Equivalents shall not be paid with respect to
Performance Units. In the event of a dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or
any other adjustment made upon a change in the capital structure of the Company as
described in Section 4.2, appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s
Performance Share Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any
and all new, substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal
cash dividends) to which the Participant would entitled by reason of the shares of Stock
issuable upon settlement of the Performance Share Award, and all such new, substituted or
additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same
Performance Goals as are applicable to the Award.  

19 

        
      9.7  
Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in
the grant of a Performance Award and set forth in the Award Agreement, the effect of a
Participant’s termination of Service on the Performance Award shall be as follows:  

        
      
      
      (a)    Death
or Disability. If the Participant’s Service           terminates
because of the death or Disability of the Participant before the           completion of
the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, the           final value of
the Participant’s Performance Award shall be determined by           the extent to
which the applicable Performance Goals have been attained with           respect to the
entire Performance Period and shall be prorated based on the           number of months
of the Participant’s Service during the Performance           Period. Payment shall
be made following the end of the Performance Period in any           manner permitted by
Section 9.5.  

        
      
      
      (b)    Other
Termination of Service. If the Participant’s           Service
terminates for any reason except death or Disability before the           completion of
the Performance Period applicable to the Performance Award, such           Award shall be
forfeited in its entirety; provided, however, that in the event           of an
involuntary termination of the Participant’s Service, the Committee,           in
its sole discretion, may waive the automatic forfeiture of all or any portion
          of any such Award.  

        
      9.8  
Nontransferability of Performance Awards. Prior to settlement in accordance with
the provisions of the Plan, no Performance Award shall be subject in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or
garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary, except
transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All rights with respect to a
Performance Award granted to a Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or
her lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal
representative.  

20 

        
      10.    TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARDS.  

        Restricted
Stock Unit Awards shall be evidenced by Award Agreements specifying the number of
Restricted Stock Units subject to the Award, in such form as the Committee shall from time
to time establish. No Restricted Stock Unit Award or purported Restricted Stock Unit Award
shall be a valid and binding obligation of the Company unless evidenced by a fully
executed Award Agreement. Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Stock Units may
incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be
subject to the following terms and conditions: 

        
      10.1  
Grant of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Restricted Stock Unit Awards may be granted
upon such conditions as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation,
upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals described in Section 9.4. If
either the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award or the Vesting Conditions with respect
to such Award is to be contingent upon the attainment of one or more Performance Goals,
the Committee shall follow procedures substantially equivalent to those set forth in
Sections 9.3 through 9.5(a).  

        
      10.2  
Vesting. Restricted Stock Units may or may not be made subject to Vesting
Conditions based upon the satisfaction of such Service requirements, conditions,
restrictions or performance criteria, including, without limitation, Performance Goals as
described in Section 9.4, as shall be established by the Committee and set forth in
the Award Agreement evidencing such Award.  

        
      10.3  
Voting Rights, Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants shall
have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Restricted Stock
Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the appropriate
entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company).
However, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing
any Restricted Stock Unit Award that the Participant shall be entitled to receive
Dividend Equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock having a
record date prior to the date on which Restricted Stock Units held by such Participant
are settled. Such Dividend Equivalents, if any, shall be paid by crediting the
Participant with additional whole Restricted Stock Units as of the date of payment of
such cash dividends on Stock. The number of additional Restricted Stock Units (rounded to
the nearest whole number) to be so credited shall be determined by dividing (a) the
amount of cash dividends paid on such date with respect to the number of shares of Stock
represented by the Restricted Stock Units previously credited to the Participant by (b)
the Fair Market Value per share of Stock on such date. Such additional Restricted Stock
Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same
manner and at the same time (or as soon thereafter as practicable) as the Restricted
Stock Units originally subject to the Restricted Stock Unit Award. In the event of a
dividend or distribution paid in shares of Stock or any other adjustment made upon a
change in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.2,
appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Restricted Stock Unit
Award so that it represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new,
substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal cash dividends)
to which the Participant would entitled by reason of the shares of Stock issuable upon
settlement of the Award, and all such new, substituted or additional securities or other
property shall be immediately subject to the same Vesting Conditions as are applicable to
the Award.  

21 

        
      10.4  
Effect of Termination of Service. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in
the grant of a Restricted Stock Unit Award and set forth in the Award Agreement, if a
Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary
(including the Participant’s death or disability), then the Participant shall
forfeit to the Company any Restricted Stock Units pursuant to the Award which remain
subject to Vesting Conditions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of
Service.  

        
      10.5  
Settlement of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. The Company shall issue to a
Participant on the date on which Restricted Stock Units subject to the Participant’s
Restricted Stock Unit Award vest or on such other date determined by the Committee, in
its discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement one (1) share of Stock (and/or any
other new, substituted or additional securities or other property pursuant to an
adjustment described in Section 10.3) for each Restricted Stock Unit then becoming
vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the withholding of applicable
taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if permitted by the Committee and set forth in the
Award Agreement, the Participant may elect in accordance with terms specified in the
Award Agreement to defer receipt of all or any portion of the shares of Stock or other
property otherwise issuable to the Participant pursuant to this Section.  

        
      10.6  
Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Prior to the issuance of
shares of Stock in settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, the Award shall not be
subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment,
pledge, encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s
beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. All
rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit Award granted to a Participant hereunder
shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only by such Participant or the
Participant’s guardian or legal representative.  

        
   11.    DEFERRED
COMPENSATION AWARDS.  

        
      11.1  
Establishment of Deferred Compensation Award Programs. This Section 11 shall
not be effective unless and until the Committee determines to establish a program
pursuant to this Section. The Committee, in its discretion and upon such terms and
conditions as it may determine, may establish one or more programs pursuant to the Plan
under which:  

        
      
      
      (a)              Participants
designated by the Committee who are Insiders or otherwise among a           select group
of highly compensated Employees may irrevocably elect, prior to a           date
specified by the Committee, to reduce such Participant’s compensation
          otherwise payable in cash (subject to any minimum or maximum reductions imposed
          by the Committee) and to be granted automatically at such time or times as
          specified by the Committee one or more Awards of Stock Units with respect to
          such numbers of shares of Stock as determined in accordance with the rules of
          the program established by the Committee and having such other terms and
          conditions as established by the Committee.  

22 

        
      
      (b)              Participants
designated by the Committee who are Insiders or otherwise among a           select group
of highly compensated Employees may irrevocably elect, prior to a           date
specified by the Committee, to be granted automatically an Award of Stock           Units
with respect to such number of shares of Stock and upon such other terms           and
conditions as established by the Committee in lieu of:  

        
      
      
      (i)              shares
of Stock otherwise issuable to such Participant upon the exercise of an           Option;  

        
      
      
      (ii)              cash
or shares of Stock otherwise issuable to such Participant upon the exercise           of
an SAR; or  

        
      
      
      (iii)              cash
or shares of Stock otherwise issuable to such Participant upon the           settlement
of a Performance Award or Performance Unit.  

        
      11.2  
Terms and Conditions of Deferred Compensation Awards. Deferred Compensation Awards
granted pursuant to this Section 11 shall be evidenced by Award Agreements in such
form as the Committee shall from time to time establish. No such Deferred Compensation
Award or purported Deferred Compensation Award shall be a valid and binding obligation of
the Company unless evidenced by a fully executed Award Agreement. Award Agreements
evidencing Deferred Compensation Awards may incorporate all or any of the terms of the
Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and
conditions:  

        
      
      (a)    Vesting
Conditions. Deferred Compensation Awards shall not           be subject to
any vesting conditions.  

        
      
      (b)    Terms
and Conditions of Stock Units.  

        
      
      
      (i)    Voting
Rights; Dividend Equivalent Rights and Distributions. Participants           shall
have no voting rights with respect to shares of Stock represented by Stock
          Units until the date of the issuance of such shares (as evidenced by the
          appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer
          agent of the Company). However, a Participant shall be entitled to receive
          Dividend Equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Stock
          having a record date prior to date on which Stock Units held by such
Participant           are settled. Such Dividend Equivalents shall be paid by crediting
the           Participant with additional whole and/or fractional Stock Units as of the
date           of payment of such cash dividends on Stock. The method of determining the
number           of additional Stock Units to be so credited shall be specified by the
Committee           and set forth in the Award Agreement. Such additional Stock Units
shall be           subject to the same terms and conditions and shall be settled in the
same manner           and at the same time (or as soon thereafter as practicable) as the
Stock Units           originally subject to the Stock Unit Award. In the event of a
dividend or           distribution paid in shares of Stock or any other adjustment made
upon a change           in the capital structure of the Company as described in Section 4.2,
          appropriate adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Stock Unit
Award           so that it represent the right to receive upon settlement any and all
new,           substituted or additional securities or other property (other than normal
cash           dividends) to which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the
shares of           Stock issuable upon settlement of the Award.  

23 

        
      
      
      (ii)    Settlement
of Stock Unit Awards. A Participant electing to receive an           Award of Stock
Units pursuant to this Section 11 shall specify at the time           of such
election a settlement date with respect to such Award. The Company shall           issue
to the Participant as soon as practicable following the earlier of the
          settlement date elected by the Participant or the date of termination of the
          Participant’s Service, a number of whole shares of Stock equal to the
          number of whole Stock Units subject to the Stock Unit Award. Such shares of
          Stock shall be fully vested, and the Participant shall not be required to pay
          any additional consideration (other than applicable tax withholding) to acquire
          such shares. Any fractional Stock Unit subject to the Stock Unit Award shall be
          settled by the Company by payment in cash of an amount equal to the Fair Market
          Value as of the payment date of such fractional share.  

        
      
      
      (iii)    Nontransferability
of Stock Unit Awards. Prior to their settlement in           accordance with the
provision of the Plan, no Stock Unit Award shall be subject           in any manner to
anticipation, alienation, sale, exchange, transfer, assignment,           pledge,
encumbrance, or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the           Participant’s
beneficiary, except transfer by will or by the laws of           descent and
distribution. All rights with respect to a Stock Unit Award granted           to a
Participant hereunder shall be exercisable during his or her lifetime only           by
such Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative.  

     12.    OTHER
STOCK-BASED AWARDS.  

        In
addition to the Awards set forth in Sections 6 through 11 above, the Committee, in its
sole discretion, may carry out the purpose of this Plan by awarding Stock-Based Awards as
it determines to be in the best interests of the Company and subject to such other terms
and conditions as it deems necessary and appropriate.  

     13.    EFFECT
OF CHANGE IN CONTROL ON OPTIONS AND SARS.  

        
      13.1  
Accelerated Vesting. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide in any
Award Agreement or, in the event of a Change in Control, may take such actions as it
deems appropriate to provide for the acceleration of the exercisability and vesting in
connection with such Change in Control of any or all outstanding Options and SARs and
shares acquired upon the exercise of such Options and SARs upon such conditions and to
such extent as the Committee shall determine.  

        
      13.2  
Assumption or Substitution. In the event of a Change in Control, the surviving,
continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent
thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiring Corporation”),
may, without the consent of the Participant, either assume the Company’s rights and
obligations under outstanding Options and SARs or substitute for outstanding Options and
SARs substantially equivalent options or stock appreciation rights for the Acquiring
Corporation’s stock. Any Options or SARs which are neither assumed or substituted
for by the Acquiring Corporation in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised
as of the date of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding
effective as of the date of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares
acquired upon exercise of an Option or SAR prior to the Change in Control and any
consideration received pursuant to the Change in Control with respect to such shares
shall continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of the Award Agreement
evidencing such Award except as otherwise provided in such Award Agreement. Furthermore,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if the corporation the stock of which is subject to the
outstanding Options or SARs immediately prior to an Ownership Change Event described in
Section 2.1(y)(i) constituting a Change in Control is the surviving or continuing
corporation and immediately after such Ownership Change Event less than fifty percent
(50%) of the total combined voting power of its voting stock is held by another
corporation or by other corporations that are members of an affiliated group within the
meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code without regard to the provisions of Section 1504(b)
of the Code, the outstanding Options and SARs shall not terminate unless the Board
otherwise provides in its discretion.  

24 

        
      13.3  
Effect of Change in Control on Restricted Stock and Other Type of Awards. The
Committee may, in its discretion, provide in any Award Agreement evidencing a Restricted
Stock or Other Type of Award that, in the event of a Change in Control, the lapsing of
any applicable Vesting Condition, Restriction Period or Performance Goal applicable to
the shares subject to such Award held by a Participant whose Service has not terminated
prior to the Change in Control shall be accelerated and/or waived effective immediately
prior to the consummation of the Change in Control to such extent as specified in such
Award Agreement; provided, however, that such acceleration or waiver shall not occur to
the extent an Award is assumed or substituted with a substantially equivalent Award in
connection with the Change in Control. Any acceleration, waiver or the lapsing of any
restriction that was permissible solely by reason of this Section 13.3 and the
provisions of such Award Agreement shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the
Change in Control.  

     14.    COMPLIANCE
WITH SECURITIES LAW.  

        The
grant of Awards and the issuance of shares of Stock pursuant to any Award shall be
subject to compliance with all applicable requirements of federal, state and foreign law
with respect to such securities and the requirements of any stock exchange or market
system upon which the Stock may then be listed. In addition, no Award may be exercised or
shares issued pursuant to an Award unless (a) a registration statement under the
Securities Act shall at the time of such exercise or issuance be in effect with respect
to the shares issuable pursuant to the Award or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel
to the Company, the shares issuable pursuant to the Award may be issued in accordance
with the terms of an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act. The inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body having
jurisdiction the authority, if any, deemed by the Company’s legal 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. As a condition to issuance
of any Stock, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any qualifications that
may be necessary or appropriate, to evidence compliance with any applicable law or
regulation and to make any representation or warranty with respect thereto as may be
requested by the Company.  

25 

     15.   
TAX WITHHOLDING.  

        
      15.1  
Tax Withholding in General. The Company shall have the right to deduct from any
and all payments made under the Plan, or to require the Participant, through payroll
withholding, cash payment or otherwise, including by means of a Cashless Exercise or Net
Exercise of an Option, to make adequate provision for, the federal, state, local and
foreign taxes, if any, required by law to be withheld by the Participating Company Group
with respect to an Award or the shares acquired pursuant thereto. The Company shall have
no obligation to deliver shares of Stock, to release shares of Stock from an escrow
established pursuant to an Award Agreement, or to make any payment in cash under the Plan
until the Participating Company Group’s tax withholding obligations have been
satisfied by the Participant.  

        
      15.2  
Withholding in Shares. The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to deduct from the shares of Stock issuable to a Participant upon the exercise or
settlement of an Award, or to accept from the Participant the tender of, a number of
whole shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value, as determined by the Company, equal to
all or any part of the tax withholding obligations of the Participating Company Group.
The Fair Market Value of any shares of Stock withheld or tendered to satisfy any such tax
withholding obligations shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum
statutory withholding rates.  

     16.  AMENDMENT
OR TERMINATION OF PLAN.  

        The
Board or the Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. However,
without the approval of the Company’s shareholders, there shall be (a) no
increase in the maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the
Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Section 4.2), (b) no change in the
class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options, and (c) no other
amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company’s shareholders
under any applicable law, regulation or rule. No amendment, suspension or termination of
the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Award unless expressly provided by the Board
or the Committee. In any event, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may
adversely affect any then outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant unless
necessary to comply with any applicable law, regulation or rule.  

     17.  MISCELLANEOUS
PROVISIONS.  

        
      17.1  
Repurchase Rights. Shares issued under the Plan may be subject to one or more
repurchase options, or other conditions and restrictions as determined by the Committee
in its discretion at the time the Award is granted. The Company shall have the right to
assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right is then
exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company. Upon request by
the Company, each Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer
restrictions prior to the receipt of shares of Stock hereunder and shall promptly present
to the Company any and all certificates representing shares of Stock acquired hereunder
for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends evidencing any such
transfer restrictions.  

26 

        
      17.2  
Provision of Information. Each Participant shall be given access to information
concerning the Company equivalent to that information generally made available to the
Company’s common shareholders.  

        
      17.3  
Rights as Employee, Consultant or Director. No person, even though eligible
pursuant to Section 5, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or,
having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or
any Award granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an
Employee, Consultant or Director or interfere with or limit in any way any right of a
Participating Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time. To the
extent that an Employee of a Participating Company other than the Company receives an
Award under the Plan, that Award shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean
that the Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment
relationship with the Company.  

        
      17.4  
Rights as a Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with
respect to any shares covered by an Award until the date of the issuance of such shares
(as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly
authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends,
distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such shares
are issued, except as provided in Section 4.2 or another provision of the Plan.  

        
      17.5  
Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares
upon the exercise or settlement of any Award.  

        
      17.6  
Severability. If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this
Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall
be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.  

        
      17.7  
Beneficiary Designation. Subject to local laws and procedures, each Participant
may file with the Company a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any
benefit under the Plan to which the Participant is entitled in the event of such
Participant’s death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each
designation will revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a
form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant
in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime. If a married
Participant designates a beneficiary other than the Participant’s spouse, the
effectiveness of such designation may be subject to the consent of the Participant’s
spouse. If a Participant dies without an effective designation of a beneficiary who is
living at the time of the Participant’s death, the Company will pay any remaining
unpaid benefits to the Participant’s legal representative.  

        
      17.8  
Unfunded Obligation. Participants shall have the status of general unsecured
creditors of the Company. Any amounts payable to Participants pursuant to the Plan shall
be unfunded and unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation,
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. No Participating
Company shall be required to segregate any monies from its general funds, or to create
any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect to such obligations.  

27 

The Company shall retain at all times
beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the Company
may make to fulfill its payment obligations hereunder. Any investments or the creation or
maintenance of any trust or any Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust
or fiduciary relationship between the Committee or any Participating Company and a
Participant, or otherwise create any vested or beneficial interest in any Participant or
the Participant’s creditors in any assets of any Participating Company. The
Participants shall have no claim against any Participating Company for any changes in the
value of any assets which may be invested or reinvested by the Company with respect to the
Plan. Each Participating Company shall be responsible for making benefit payments pursuant
to the Plan on behalf of its Participants or for reimbursing the Company for the cost of
such payments, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. In the event the
respective Participating Company fails to make such payment or reimbursement, a
Participant’s (or other individual’s) sole recourse shall be against the
respective Participating Company, and not against the Company. A Participant’s
acceptance of an Award pursuant to the Plan shall constitute agreement with this
provision.

CALIFORNIA ADDENDUM
TO  

PURE BIOSCIENCE
2007 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN  

        This
Addendum to the PURE Bioscience 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is
intended to apply to all Awards granted under the Plan. Capitalized terms contained herein
shall have the same meanings given to them in the Plan, unless otherwise provided in this
Addendum. Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Plan to contrary and to the
extent required by applicable law, the Plan is hereby amended as follows: 

         1.       
          Exercise Price. To the extent required by applicable securities law of
          California (“Applicable California Law”), the exercise price per share
          for an Award shall be not less than eighty five percent (85%) of the Fair Market
          Value of a share of Stock on the effective date of grant of the Award.
          Notwithstanding the above, to the extent required by Applicable California Law,
          the exercise price per share for an Award shall be not less than one hundred ten
          percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the effective
          date of grant of the Award if the recipient possesses more than 10% of the total
          combined voting power of the Company as described by Applicable California Law. 

         2.       
          Exercisability of stock options. To the extent required by Applicable California
          Law, with the exception of an Option granted to an officer, a director or a
          consultant of the Company, no Option shall become exercisable at a rate less
          than twenty percent (20%) per year over a period of five (5) years from the
          effective date of grant of such Option, subject to the Participant’s
          continued Service. 

         3.       
          Effect of Termination of Service. Subject to earlier termination of the Option
          as otherwise provided by the Plan or Option Agreement and unless a longer
          exercise period is provided by the Committee in the grant of an Option and set
          forth in the Option Agreement, an Option shall terminate immediately upon the
          Participant’s termination of Service to the extent that it is then
          unvested. To the extent required by Applicable California Law, the Option shall
          be exercisable after the Participant’s termination of Service to the extent
          it is then vested only during the applicable time period determined in
          accordance with this section (or such longer period specified in the Option
          Agreement and thereafter shall terminate: 

          		    A.       
               Death or Disability. If the Participant’s Service terminates because
               of the death or Disability of the Participant, the Option, to the extent
               unexercised and exercisable on the date on which the Participant’s Service
               terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant’s
               guardian, legal representative, or other person who acquired the right to
               exercise the Option by reason of the Participant’s death, as applicable) at
               any time prior to the expiration of six (6) months after the date on which the
               Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date
               of expiration of the Option (the “Option Expiration Date”). 

               

          		    B.       
               Other Termination of Service. If the Participant’s Service
               terminates for any reason, except for Disability or death, the Option, to the
               extent unexercised and exercisable by the Participant on the date on which the
               Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at
               any time prior to the expiration of three (3) months after the date on which the
               Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the Option
               Expiration Date. 

               

29 

         4.       
          Repurchase Provisions. Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in the grant
          of a Restricted Stock Award or RSU and set forth in the Agreement memorializing
          the Award, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, whether
          voluntary or involuntary (including the Participant’s death or Disability),
          then the Company shall have the option to repurchase for the cash purchase price
          paid by the Participant any shares acquired by the Participant which remain
          subject to restrictions as of the date of the Participant’s termination of
          Service; provided, however, that with the exception of shares acquired by an
          officer, a director or a consultant of the Company, the Company’s
          repurchase option must lapse, to the extent required by Applicable California
          Law, at the rate of at least twenty percent (20%) of the shares per year over
          the period of five (5) years from the effective date of grant of the Award and
          the repurchase option must be exercised, if at all, for cash or cancellation of
          purchase money indebtedness for the shares within ninety (90) days following the
          Participant’s termination of Service. The Company shall have the right to
          assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether or not such right
          is then exercisable, to one or more persons as may be selected by the Company. 

         5.       
          Information. To the extent required by Applicable California Law, at least
          annually, copies of the Company’s balance sheet and income statement for
          the just completed fiscal year shall be made available to each Participant. The
          Company shall not be required to provide such information to key employees whose
          duties in connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent
          information.

        or December 31 , 2008, at which time any unexercised portion hereof shall expire.

        

        3.     METHOD OF EXERCISE. This Option may be exercised by Consultant giving written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to PURE at its principal place of business or to its legal counsel, accompanied by a check in payment of the purchase price for the Stock as to which the Option is being exercised.
        PURE shall make prompt delivery of such Stock, provided that if any law or regulation requires PURE to take any action with respect to the Stock as to which the Option is being exercised, the date of delivery of such Stock shall be extended for the period necessary to take such action.

         

         

        
            

        

         

        

        4.     TERMINATION OF OPTION. Except as otherwise stated herein, the Option hereby granted, to the extent not previously exercised, shall terminate either upon early termination of the December 1, 2005 Consulting Agreement as per Section 3 of the

        5.     RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER. If and to the extent that the number of issued common shares of PURE shall be increased or reduced by a change in par value, split-up, reclassification, distribution of a dividend payable in shares, or by any similar occurrence, the number of shares subject to
        this Option and the purchase price to be paid for such shares shall be proportionately adjusted.

        

        6.     RIGHTS PRIOR TO EXERCISE OF OPTION. The Option hereby granted is non-transferable by Consultant except to immediate family members or an entity beneficially owned by the Consultant or his immediate family members for the purposes of estate planning. Assignment of the Option shall be in the form attached
        hereto as Exhibit B. During the term of the Option, the Options hereby granted shall be exercisable only by the Consultant or his permissible Assignees.

        7.     RIGHTS FOLLOWING EXERCISE OF OPTION. Subject to Paragraph 8 below, ownership rights in the common stock shall vest with the Consultant upon exercise of the Option, in whole or in part.

        

        8.     RESTRICTED TRANSFERABILITY OF STOCK. Any sale or transfer of the Stock purchased pursuant to this Option must be in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Upon written notice to the Consultant, PURE may from time to time issue a stop transfer instruction preventing transfer of any
        certificate issue to the Consultant until such time that PURE may make proper pubic disclosure of material, non-public information disclosed to the Consultant but in no event shall such stop transfer instruction be greater than ninety (90) days.

        

        9.     REQUIRED FILINGS. A Consultant to whom an Option is granted hereby is required to file appropriate reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Internal Revenue Service. As a condition of the receipt of this Option, Consultant agrees to make necessary filings with the Securities and Exchange
        Commission and the Internal Revenue Service. PURE shall assist and cooperate with the Consultant by providing the necessary information required for compliance of this condition.

        

        10.     BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators and successors of the parties hereto.
