     (ii) A special option committee of the Board (the “Special Option Committee”)

ARTICLE IV

OPTIONS

     Section 4.1. Eligibility. The Compensation Committee may grant
options under the Plan to any person who is an Eligible Recipient.

     Section 4.2. Number of Shares Subject to Options. The aggregate number of
Common Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of options under the Plan is 5,500,000;
subject, however to the provisions of Article VI hereof. The shares issued upon the exercise of
options under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares, shares issued and reacquired by the
Company, or shares bought on the market for the purposes of the Plan. In the event any options
shall, for any reason, terminate, expire or be surrendered without having been exercised in full,
the shares subject to such option (but not purchased thereunder) shall again be available for
options to be granted under the Plan. During the period that any options granted under the Plan are
outstanding, the Company shall reserve and keep available such number of shares as will be
sufficient to satisfy all outstanding, unexercised options.

     Section 4.3. Terms and Conditions of Options. Any option granted under
the Plan shall be evidenced by a written stock option agreement executed by the Company and the
Optionee, which shall contain such terms and be in such form as the Compensation Committee may from
time to time approve subject to the following limitations and conditions:

     (a) Number of Shares. The stock option agreement shall state the type and total number
of shares that may be purchased pursuant to the agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in
the Plan, no Optionee shall be granted more than 840,000 shares of Common Stock under the Plan.

     (b) Option Price. The option price per share subject to a stock option granted under
the Plan shall be stated in the stock option agreement evidencing such grant. In the case of the
gi’ant of an Incentive Stock Option, the option price per share shall be not less than the fair
market value of the shares at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted; provided, however,
if the

4

 

Optionee is a 10% Shareholder, the option price per share shall not be less than 110% of the fair
market value of the shares at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted all as determined by
the Compensation Committee consistent with Treas. Reg. §20.2031 -2 and any requirements of §422 of
the Code. The option price per share of stock subject to a Non-Statutory Stock Option shall be
determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion consistent with Treas. Reg.
§20.2031-2 and shall in no event be at an option price per share of stock less than 85% of the fair
market value of the shares at the time the Non-Statutory Stock Option is granted. If shares of the
Company’s Common Shares are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, then
the fair market value of any Common Share shall be equal to the mean between the highest and lowest
quoted selling prices for the shares on the date of grant of the option (or if there were no sales
on such date the weighted average of the means between the highest and lowest quoted selling prices
on the nearest date before and the nearest date after the date of grant of the option as prescribed
by Treas. Reg. § 20.2031-2), provided if there were no sales during a reasonable period before and
after the grant date, the fair market value shall be determined by taking the mean between the bid
and asked prices on the grant date (or, if none, the weighted average of the means between the bid
and asked prices on the nearest trading date before and the nearest trading date after the grant
date on which bid and asked quotations exist) as reported in The Watt Street Journal or a similar
publication selected by the Committee. Otherwise, subject to the foregoing, if approved by the
Compensation Committee, the fair market value of any Common Share may be determined by the terms of
the most recent independent appraisal of the value of the shares of the Company. In no instance
shall such appraisal have been made earlier man the close of the most recently preceding fiscal
year of the Company. In the event an independent appraisal of the fair market value of the shares
has not been performed during the period of time between the close of the most recently preceding
fiscal year and the time of the proposed grant of an option, the fair market value of the shares
subject to an option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Compensation Committee in
good faith in accordance with such procedures as the Compensation Committee shall prescribe from time to
time.

     (c) Duration of Option. Each option granted under the Plan shall expire on the date to
be fixed by the Compensation Committee at the time the option is granted and set forth in the stock
option agreement; provided, however, that such expiration date shall be not more than 5 years from
the date of grant of the option if the Optionee is a 10% Shareholder and not more than 10 years
from the date of grant of the option if the Optionee is not a 10% Shareholder at the time of grant.

     (d) No Rights Vested as Shareholders. Neither an Optionee nor his or her successor
shall have any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company by reason of the grant of an option
under the Plan until the date of issuance of a stock certificate or certificates to him or her and
only after the acquired share is fully paid. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other
rights for which the record date is prior to the date such stock certificates are issued.

     (e) Exercise of Option. Each option shall be exercisable over a period commencing on
the date of the grant and ending upon the expiration or termination of the option; provided,
however, that the Compensation Committee may, by the provisions of any stock option agreement,
limit the number of shares purchasable thereunder in any period of time during which the option is
exercisable and subject exercisability to, or accelerate exerciseability upon the occurrence of one
or more conditions prescribed in the option agreement, including a change of control of the
Company. An option may be exercised, subject to the terms of this Plan, only by written notice of
intent to exercise the option with respect to a specified number of shares and by payment in full
of the option price to the Company at the time of exercise.

5

 

     (f) Payment Upon Exercise of Option. Payment of the option price may be made in
cash or cash equivalents, or with consent of the Compensation Committee, by promissory note,
by delivery of shares of the Company’s stock (or the withholding of shares subject to the
option) of equivalent fair market value.

     (g) Nontransferability of Options. No option granted under the Plan shall be
transferable or assignable by an Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order as defined by the Code or
Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the rules and
regulations thereunder. Each option shall be exercisable during the Optionee’s lifetime only
by him or her (or, the Optionee’s legal guardian or legal representative on behalf of the
Optionee). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Non-Statutory Stock Options may be transferred to
members of the Optionee’s immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of such immediate family
members, and to trusts for the benefit of the Optionee, to the extent permitted by the stock
option agreement between the Optionee and the Company. No option shall be pledged or
hypothecated in any way and no option shall be subject to execution, attachment or similar
process except with the express consent of the Compensation Committee.

     (h) Termination of Service. Upon the Termination of Service of an Optionee
for “Cause,” all outstanding options granted to the Optionee under the Plan shall expire
effective as of the date of such Termination of Service. Upon the Termination of Service of an
Optionee “Without Cause,” all unexercised and unvested outstanding options granted to the
Optionee under the Plan shall expire as of 12:01 a.m. on the thirty-first (31st)
calendar day following such Termination of Service; provided, however, if the cause of the
Termination of Service is due to retirement, disability or death, any outstanding options
shall become exercisable upon termination, whether or not the option was otherwise exercisable
at the date of the Optionee’s termination but shall expire as indicated in the following
table.

	 	 	 
	Circumstance of	 	 
	Termination	 	Expiration Date
	Retirement

	 	3 months after termination of employment
	 
	 	 
	Disability or death 

while employed

	 	1 year after termination of employment
	 
	 	 
	Death within 3 months after

retirement OR within one year after

termination due to disability

	 	1 year after date of death

If the Optionee dies prior to expiration of the option in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, the option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of his or her estate
or by the person or persons entitled to the option by will or by applicable laws of descent
and distribution, whether or not the option was otherwise exercisable at the date of his
death. In no circumstances, shall an option be exercisable later than the date on which it
would otherwise expire.

     (i) Maximum Option. The aggregate fair market value (determined as of the
time the option is granted) of the shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are
exercisable for the first time by an Eligible Recipient during any calendar year (under all
incentive stock option plans of the Company, its parents, if any, and its subsidiaries, if
any, within the meaning of Code Section 422(d)) shall not exceed the dollar limits established
by Code Section 422(d). In

6

 

the event that the fair market value of such Incentive Stock Options exceeds the dollar limits
established by Code Section 422(d), the stock options in excess of such amount shall be deemed to
be Non-Statutory Stock Options. For purposes of determining whether the limit in this Section
4.3(i) has been exceeded, the character of all relevant stock options shall be determined by taking
the stock options into account in the order in which they were granted.

     (j) Nature of Options. A stock option granted under the Plan to an Optionee may
be either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Statutory Stock Option, as designated by the
Compensation Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the stock option agreement between
the Company and the Optionee evidencing the grant of such option; provided, however that a stock
option shall not be deemed to be an Incentive Stock Option to the extent that such option would
exceed the limitations set forth in Section 4.3(i). Any provision of the Plan relating to the grant
of an Incentive Stock Option or any agreement evidencing such grant which does not comply with the
requirements of Code Section 422 shall be void and inoperative with respect to such option.

     (k) Issuance of Certificates. Promptly after the exercise of a stock option and
the payment in full of the option price per share subject to such option, the person exercising the
stock option shall be entitled to the issuance of a certificate or certificates evidencing
ownership of such shares; provided, however, that the Company may postpone the issuance and
delivery of certificates of shares until (i) the admission of such shares to listing on any stock
exchange on which shares of the Company are then listed, and (ii) the completion of such
registration or other qualification of such shares under any state or federal law, rule, or
regulation as the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable, which registration or other
qualification the Company shall use its best efforts to complete. The Company may issue separate
certificates for any shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of a stock option which is an
Incentive Stock Option and for any shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of a stock option
which is a Non-Statutory Stock Option.

     (l) Other Provisions. In no event shall the exercise of an Incentive Stock
Option affect the right to exercise any Non-Statutory Stock Option, nor shall the exercise of any
Non-Statutory Stock Option affect the right to exercise any Incentive Stock Option. Nothing in the
Plan shall be construed to prohibit the grant of Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock
Options to the same person; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock
Options shall not be granted in a manner whereby the exercise of one Non-Statutory Stock Option or
Incentive Stock Option affects the exercisability of the other. The stock option agreements entered
into under the Plan shall contain such other provisions as the Compensation Committee shall deem
advisable, provided that such provisions are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan and, with
respect to Incentive Stock Options, Code Section 422.

     (m) Employment. Neither the adoption of Hie Plan nor the granting of options
hereunder shall impose any obligation on the Company to continue the employment or service of any
Eligible Recipient, nor limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate the employment or
service of any such individual at any time.

     (n) No Obligation to Exercise an Option. Neither the granting of an option nor the
execution of a stock option agreement shall impose any obligation on any Eligible Recipient to
exercise an option.

     Section 4.4. Share Awards. The Compensation Committee shall have
full and complete authority, subject to the limitations of the Plan, to grant awards of shares
and, in

7

 

addition to the terms and conditions contained in subsections (a) through (f) of this Section 4.4,
to provide such terms and conditions (which need not be identical among Optionees) in respect of
such awards of shares, and the vesting thereof, as the Compensation Committee shall determine and
provide in the agreement referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 4.4.

     (a) At the time of an award of shares, the Compensation Committee may establish for each
Optionee a period during which, or at the expiration of which, as the Compensation Committee shall
determine and provide in the agreement referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 4.4, shares
awarded as restricted shares shall vest (the “Restricted Period”), and subject to any such other
terms and conditions as the Compensation Committee shall provide, restricted shares may not be
sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered by the Optionee, except as hereinafter
provided, during the Restricted Period. Except for such restrictions, and subject to subsections
(c), (d) and (e) of this Section 4.4 and Article IV hereof, the Optionee, as owner of such shares,
shall have all the rights of a shareholder, including but not limited to the right to receive all
dividends paid on such shares and the right to vote such shares. The Compensation Committee shall
have the authority, in its discretion, to accelerate the time at which any or all of the
restrictions shall lapse with respect to any restricted shares prior to the expiration of the
Restricted Period with respect thereto, or to remove any or all of such restrictions, whenever it
may determine that such action is appropriate by reason of changes in applicable tax or other laws
or other changes in circumstances occurring after the commencement of such Restricted Period.

     (b) Upon Termination of Service of an Optionee for any reason other than Disability or death,
unless the Compensation Committee shall otherwise determine and provide in the agreement referred
to in subsection (d) of this Section 4.4, all restricted shares awarded to such Optionee and which
at the time of such Termination of Service are subject to the restrictions imposed by subsection
(a) of this Section 4.4 shall upon such Termination of Service be forfeited and returned to the
Company; provided, however, that if an Optionee has a Termination of Service due to Retirement, the
Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may lift all or a portion of the restrictions of
the restricted shares. Unless the Compensation Committee shall have provided in the agreement
referred to in subsection (d) of this Section 4.4 for a ratable lapse of restrictions with respect
to an award of restricted shares during the Restricted Period, if an Optionee has a Termination of
Service due to Disability or death, such portion of such restricted shares awarded to the Optionee,
which at the time of such Termination of Service are subject to the restrictions imposed by
subsection (a) of this Section 4.4 as shall be equal to the portion of the Restricted Period with
respect to such shares which shall have elapsed at the time of such Termination of Service shall be
free of restrictions and shall not be forfeited.

     (c) Each certificate in respect of restricted shares awarded under the Plan subject to
restriction under Section 4.4(a) shall be registered in the name of the Optionee and deposited by
the Optionee, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the Company and shall bear the
following (or a similar legend):

     “The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock
represented hereby are subject to the terms and conditions (including
forfeiture) contained in the Aprimo, Incorporated 1998 Employee Stock Option
Plan, and an agreement entered into between the registered owner and Aprimo,
Incorporated. Copies of such Plan and agreement are on file in the offices of
the Secretary of Aprimo, Incorporated, at its executive offices.”

8

 

     (d) At the time of an award of shares subject to restriction under Section 4.4(a), the
Optionee shall enter into an agreement with the Company in a form specified by the Compensation
Committee, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the award of restricted shares and such other
matters as the Compensation Committee shall in its sole discretion determine.

     (e) At the time of an award of restricted shares, the Compensation Committee may, in its
discretion, determine that the payment to the Optionee of dividends declared or paid on such
shares, or a specified portion thereof, by the Company shall be deferred until the earlier to occur
of (i) the lapsing of the restrictions imposed under subsection (a) of this Section 4.4 or (ii) the
forfeiture of such shares under subsection (b) of this Section 4.4, and shall be held by the
Company for the account of the Optionee until such time. In the event of such deferral, there shall
be credited at the end of each year (or portion thereof) interest on the amount of the account at
the beginning of the year at a rate per annum as the Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may
determine. Payment of deferred dividends, together with interest accrued thereon as aforesaid,
shall be made upon the earlier to occur of the events specified in (i) and (ii) of the immediately
preceding sentence.

     (f) At the expiration of any restrictions imposed by subsection (a) of this Section 4.4, the
Company shall redeliver to the Optionee (or where the relevant provision of subsection (b) of this
Section 4.4 applies in the case of a deceased Participant, to his legal representative, beneficiary
or heir) the certificate(s) and stock power deposited with it pursuant to subsection (c) of this
Section 4.4 and the restricted shares represented by such certificate (s) shall be free of the
restrictions referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 4.4.

     Section 4.5. Cash Awards. The Compensation Committee may, at any time and
in its discretion, grant to any Optionee who is granted a Non-Statutory Stock Option the right to
receive, at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Compensation Committee in its
discretion, a cash amount (cash award) which is intended to reimburse the Optionee for all or a
portion of the federal, state and local income taxes imposed upon such Optionee as a consequence of
the exercise of a non-qualified stock option and the receipt of a cash award.

     Section 4.6. Replacement and Extension of the Terms of Options and Cash
Awards. The Compensation Committee from time to tune may permit an Optionee under the Plan or
any other stock option plan heretofore or hereafter adopted by the Company, or any Subsidiary, if
any, to surrender for cancellation any unexercised outstanding stock option and receive from his
employing corporation in exchange therefor an option for such number of shares of Common Stock as
may be designated by the Compensation Committee. Such Optionees also may be granted related cash
awards as provided in Section 4.5 hereof.

ARTICLE V

AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION

     Section 5.1. General. The Compensation Committee may from time to time
suspend or terminate the Plan or may amend it from time to time in such respects as the
Compensation Committee may deem advisable; provided, however, that without the approval of the
shareholders of the Company, no such amendment shall (i) increase the maximum number of shares for
which options may be granted under the Plan except as otherwise provided in Article VI, (ii) change
the manner of determining the purchase price of shares with respect to which an option is granted,
(iii) change the maximum life of options specified in Section 4.3(c), (iv) change the expiration
date of the Plan; or (v) change the designation of employees or class of employees eligible to
receive Incentive Stock Options under this Plan.

     Section 5.2. Effect of Amendment, Suspension or Termination of Existing
Options. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan, without an Optionee’s consent,
shall alter or impair any of the rights or obligations of the Company or the Optionee with respect
to any option theretofore granted to such Optionee. The Compensation Committee is authorized to
amend any option outstanding on the date of shareholder approval of this Plan, as amended and
restated in May, 2000, in any manner and to the extent consistent with the Plan as amended and
restated.

     Section 5.3. Automatic Termination of Plan. Unless the Compensation
Committee terminates the Plan earlier as herein provided, the Plan will automatically terminate on
October 31, 2008; provided, however, options outstanding subsequent to such date shall continue to
be governed by the provisions of the Plan until exercised or terminated in accordance with the Plan
or the respective option agreements.

ARTICLE VI

ADJUSTMENTS

     Section 6.1. Recapitalization. In the event that the outstanding shares
of stock are, at any time after the Effective Date, increased or decreased or changed into or
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of
a recapitalization, reclassification, share split-up, combination of shares or dividend or other
distribution payable in capital stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Compensation
Committee in the number and kind of shares for the purchase of which options may be granted under
the Plan. In addition, the Compensation Committee shall make appropriate adjustment in the number
and kind of shares as to which outstanding options, or portions thereof then unexercised, shall be
exercisable, to the end that the proportionate interest of the holder of the option shall be
maintained as before the occurrence of such event. Such adjustment in outstanding options shall be
made without change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the option and with
a corresponding adjustment in the option price per share.

     Section 6.2. Company Liquidation, Dissolution or Reorganization. In the
event of the dissolution, complete liquidation, or reorganization (as defined in this Section 6.2)
of the Company, any option granted under the Plan shall (i) fully and immediately vest in the
Optionee, and (ii) then terminate as of a date to be fixed by the Compensation Committee not less
than thirty (30) days after written notice of the date so fixed is given to each Optionee. Each
such Optionee shall have the right during such notice period to exercise his or her option as to
all or

10

 

any part of the shares covered thereby, including shares as to which such option would not
otherwise be exercisable by reason of restrictions in the option agreement with the Optionee. Such
acceleration of the exercise date shall be deemed to occur automatically upon receipt by the
Optionee of notice as provided in this section, and shall not be a modification under Code Section
424(h).

     The term “reorganization” as used in this Section 6.2 shall mean any statutory consolidation
