FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC.
2002 UNIVERSAL STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT

This Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement, together with any Appendix(es) attached hereto (hereinafter, collectively, the “Agreement”), is made as of the Award Date set forth in the Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award (the “Notice of Award”) between Franklin Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) and the Participant named therein (“Participant”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company have adopted the Franklin Resources, Inc. 2002 Universal Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), authorizing the grant of Restricted Stock Units (as defined in the 2002 Plan) (“Units”) to eligible individuals as an incentive in connection with the performance of services for the Company and its Subsidiaries, as defined in the 2002 Plan, which is incorporated herein by this reference (capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the same meaning as set forth in the 2002 Plan or the Notice of Award, as applicable); and

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes the efforts of Participant on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries and desires to motivate Participant in Participant's work and provide an inducement to remain in the service of the Company and its Subsidiaries; and

WHEREAS, the Company has determined that it would be to the advantage and in the interest of the Company and its stockholders to award Units provided for in this Agreement and the Notice of Award to Participant, subject to certain restrictions, as an incentive for increased efforts and successful achievements;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.    Restricted Stock Unit Award.  The Company is awarding to Participant Units as set forth in the Notice of Award, subject to the rights of and limitations on Participant as owner thereof as set forth in this Agreement.

2.    Transfer Restriction.

(a)    Units may not be transferred by Participant in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Participant may designate a beneficiary of Units in the event of Participant's death on the beneficiary designation form provided by the Company.  Pursuant to paragraph 7 of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the executors, administrators, heirs, successors and transferees of Participant.

(b)    Participant acknowledges that, from time to time, the Company may be in a “Blackout Period” and/or subject to applicable securities laws that could subject Participant to liability for engaging in any transaction involving the sale of the Company's shares.  Participant further acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the sale of any shares acquired under this Award, it is Participant's responsibility to determine whether or not such sale of shares will subject Participant to liability under insider trading rules or other applicable securities laws.

3.    Vesting.

(a)    Units shall become vested in accordance with the Vesting Schedule in the Notice of Award so long as Participant maintains a Continuous Status as an Employee.

(b)    If Participant ceases to maintain a Continuous Status as an Employee for any reason other than death or disability (as described in subparagraph (c)), all Units to the extent not yet vested under subparagraph (a) on the date Participant ceases to maintain a Continuous Status as an Employee shall be forfeited by Participant without payment of any consideration to Participant therefor.  Any Units so forfeited shall be canceled and any shares considered issuable pursuant to such Units, if applicable, shall be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares, to be held for future distributions under the Company's 2002 Plan.

1

(c)    If Participant dies or in the event of termination of Participant's continuous status as an employee as a result of disability (as determined by an executive officer of the Company in accordance with the policies of the Company) while an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Units awarded hereunder shall become fully vested as of the date of death or termination of employment on account of such disability.  Unless changed by the Board of Directors of the Company, “disability” means that Participant ceases to be an employee on account of disability as a result of which Participant is determined to be disabled by the determining authority under the long-term or total permanent disability policy, or government social security or other similar benefit program, of the country or location in which Participant is employed and in the absence of such determining authority by the Board in accordance with the policies of the Company.

4.    Vesting of Units and Issuance of Shares.  Upon each vesting date, (i) one share of common stock of the Company (“Stock”) and (ii) an amount in cash equal to the cash dividends, if any, paid with respect to such share between the Award Date and the vesting date shall be issuable for each Unit that vests on such date, subject to the terms and provisions of the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement.  Upon satisfaction of any required tax or other withholding obligations as set forth in paragraph 6 of this Agreement, the shares of Stock and cash amount (if any) will be issued to Participant (as evidenced by the appropriate entry in the books of the Company or a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) as soon as practicable after the vesting date, but in any event, within the period ending on the later to occur of the date that is two and a half (21⁄2) months from the end of (i) Participant's tax year that includes the applicable vesting date, or (ii) the Company's tax year that includes the applicable vesting date.  Any fractional Unit remaining after all Units under this Award are fully vested shall be discarded and neither a fractional share of Stock nor any dividends issued with respect to such fractional share shall be issued at vesting of the fractional Unit.  Notwithstanding the above, the Company may, in its discretion, pay to Participant all or a portion of any vested Units in cash in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of the relevant number of shares of Stock on the applicable vesting date, or on such other date or dates which the Company may at its absolute discretion prescribe, less any tax or other withholding obligations set forth in paragraph 6 of this Agreement.

5.    Right to Shares.  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and as provided in Section 4, Participant shall not have any right in, to or with respect to any of the shares of Stock (including any voting rights or rights with respect to dividends paid on the shares of Stock, including rights to dividend equivalent payments) issuable for a Unit under the Award until the Award is settled by the issuance of such shares of Stock to Participant.

6.    Withholding of Taxes.

(a)General. Participant is ultimately liable and responsible for all taxes owed by Participant in connection with the 2002 Plan including, without limitation, the award of Units, vesting of units, issue and sale of shares regardless of any action the Company or any of its Subsidiaries takes with respect to any tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the 2002 Plan.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant or vesting of Units awarded or the subsequent sale of any of the shares of Stock.  The Company and its Subsidiaries do not commit and are under no obligation to structure the Award to reduce or eliminate Participant's tax liability.

(b)Payment of Withholding Taxes. Prior to any event in connection with Units awarded (e.g., vesting) that the Company determines may result in any tax withholding obligation, whether United States federal, state or local taxes or applicable foreign taxes and including any employment tax obligation (the “Tax Withholding Obligation”), Participant must agree to the satisfaction of such Tax Withholding Obligation in a manner acceptable to the Company, including by means of one of the following methods: 
 
(i)By Share Withholding.  Unless the Company permits Participant to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by some other means in accordance with clause (iii) below, Participant authorizes the Company (in the exercise of its sole discretion) to withhold from those shares of Stock issuable to Participant the whole number of shares sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation, provided that the Company shall withhold only the amount of shares necessary to satisfy the minimum applicable Tax Withholding Obligation. Share withholding will generally be used to satisfy the tax liability of individuals subject to the short-swing profit restrictions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(ii)By Sale of Shares.  Unless the Company permits Participant to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by some other means in accordance with clause (iii) below, and provided that the terms of this clause (ii) do not violate Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Participant's acceptance of the Award constitutes Participant's instruction and authorization to the Company and any brokerage firm determined acceptable to the Company for such purpose to sell on 

2

Participant's behalf a whole number of shares from those shares of Stock issuable to Participant as the Company determines to be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the applicable Tax Withholding Obligation.  Such shares will be sold on the day such Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a vesting date) or as soon thereafter as practicable.  Participant will be responsible for all brokers' fees and other costs of sale, and Participant agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any losses, costs, damages, or expenses relating to any such sale.  To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the Tax Withholding Obligation the Company agrees to pay such excess in cash to Participant.  Participant acknowledges that the Company or its designee is under no obligation to arrange for such sale at any particular price, and that the proceeds of any such sale may not be sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation.  Accordingly, Participant agrees to pay to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as soon as practicable, including through additional payroll withholding, any amount of the Tax Withholding Obligation that is not satisfied by the sale of shares of Stock described above.

(iii)By Check, Wire Transfer or Other Means. At any time not less than five (5) business days (or such fewer number of days as determined by the Committee or its designee) before any Tax Withholding Obligation arises (e.g., a vesting date), Participant may request permission to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by check, wire transfer or other means, by submitting such request, in writing, to the Company.  Alternatively, the Company may require that Participant satisfy any Tax Withholding Obligation in any such manner.  If the Company approves Participant's request, or so requires, within five (5) business days of the vesting date (or such fewer number of days as determined by the Committee or its designee) Participant must deliver to the Company the amount that the Company determines is sufficient to satisfy the Tax Withholding Obligation by (x) wire transfer to such account as the Company may direct, (y) delivery of a certified check payable to the Company, or (z) such other means as specified from time to time by the Committee or its designee.

7.    Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.  Nothing contained in the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement shall be interpreted as imposing any liability on the Company or the Committee in favor of Participant or any purchaser or other transferee of Units or shares of Stock with respect to any loss, cost or expense which such Participant, purchaser or other transferee may incur in connection with, or arising out of any transaction involving, any Units or shares of Stock subject to the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement.

8.    No Compensation Deferrals.  None of the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement are intended to provide for an elective deferral of compensation that would be subject to Section 409A (“Section 409A”) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and/or this Agreement to ensure that no awards (including, without limitation, the Units) become subject to the requirements of Section 409A, provided, however, that the Company makes no representation that the Units are not subject to Section 409A nor makes any undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to the Units.

9.    Integration.  The terms of the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement are intended by the Company and Participant to be the final expression of their agreement with respect to Units and may not be contradicted by evidence of any prior or contemporaneous agreement.  The Company and Participant further intend that the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement shall constitute the complete and exclusive statement of their terms and that no extrinsic evidence whatsoever may be introduced in any arbitration, judicial, administrative or other legal proceeding involving the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement.  Accordingly, the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement contain the entire understanding between the parties and supersede all prior oral, written and implied agreements, understandings, commitments and practices among the parties.

10.    Waivers.  Any failure to enforce any terms or conditions of the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement by the Company or by Participant shall not be deemed a waiver of that term or condition, nor shall any waiver or relinquishment of any right or power for all or any other times.

11.    Severability of Provisions.  If any provision of the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision thereof; and the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if none of them included such provision.

12.    Committee Decisions Conclusive.  All decisions of the Committee arising under the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award or this Agreement shall be conclusive.

13.    Mandatory Arbitration.  To the extent permitted by law, any dispute arising out of or relating to the 2002 Plan, 

3

the Notice of Award and this Agreement, including the meaning or interpretation thereof, shall be resolved solely by arbitration before an arbitrator selected in accordance with the Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures of the American Arbitration Association.  The location for the arbitration shall be in the county or comparable jurisdiction of Participant's employment.  Judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Each party shall pay an equal share of the arbitrator's fees, unless applicable law requires the Company to pay all or a greater share of the fees and costs.  All statutes of limitation which would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any arbitration proceeding under this paragraph.  Neither Participant nor the Company will have the right to participate in a class, representative or collective action, as a class representative, class member or an opt-in party, act as a private attorney general, or join or consolidate claims with claims of any other person or entity, with respect to any dispute arising out of or relating to the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement.  The provisions of this paragraph are intended by Participant and the Company to be exclusive for all purposes and applicable to any and all disputes arising out of or relating to the 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement.  The arbitrator who hears and decides any dispute shall have jurisdiction and authority only to award compensatory damages to make whole a person or entity sustaining foreseeable economic damages, and shall not have jurisdiction and authority to make any other award of any type, including, without limitation, punitive damages, unforeseeable economic damage, damages for pain, suffering or emotional distress, or any other kind or form of damages, unless such other award is available as a matter of law.  The remedy, if any, awarded by the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any dispute which is subject to arbitration under this paragraph.

14.    Delaware Law.  The 2002 Plan, the Notice of Award and this Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions, to the extent not preempted by the federal laws of the United States of America.

15.    Country Appendices.  If Participant relocates to a country outside the United States: (i) any special terms and conditions that may apply to Units granted to Participants in such country under Appendices to this Agreement will apply to Participant; or (ii) if Units have not been granted to Employees in such country under this Agreement, any other special terms and conditions, will apply to Participant, in each case to the extent the Company determines that the application of such terms and conditions is necessary or advisable to comply with local law or facilitate the administration of the 2002 Plan, and provided the imposition of the term or condition will not result in any adverse accounting expense with respect to the Units (unless the Company specifically determines to incur such expense).

16.    Forfeiture.  

(a)    Forfeiture Pursuant to Restatement of Financial Results.  Notwithstanding anything in the Award to the contrary, in the event that (i) the Company issues a restatement of financial results to correct a material error, (ii) the Committee determines, in good faith, that fraud or willful misconduct by the Participant was a significant contributing factor to the need to issue such restatement, and (iii) some or all of the Units that were granted and/or shares of Stock and/or other property earned prior to such restatement by the Participant would not have been granted and/or earned, as applicable, based upon the restated financial results, the Participant shall immediately return to the Company all shares of Stock and other property received with respect to those Units, including any cash dividends paid with respect to the Units or such shares of Stock, any pre-tax income derived from ownership and any gross proceeds from disposition of such Stock and property, that would not have been granted and/or earned based upon the restated financial results (the “Repayment Obligation”), and all such Units shall immediately be forfeited.  The Company shall be able to enforce the Repayment Obligation by all legal means available, including, without limitation, by withholding such amount from other sums and property owed by the Company to the Participant.

(b)    Other Repayment/Forfeiture.  Any benefits Participant may receive hereunder shall be subject to repayment or forfeiture as may be required to comply with (i) any applicable listing standards of a national securities exchange adopted in accordance with Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (regarding recovery of erroneously awarded compensation) and any implementing rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted thereunder, (ii) similar rules under the laws of any other jurisdiction and (iii) any policies adopted by the Company to implement such requirements, all to the extent determined by the Company in its discretion to be applicable to Participant.

FRANKLIN RESOURCES, INC.
2002 UNIVERSAL STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

(as amended and restated effective October 22, 2012)

		
	1.
	GENERAL

1.1    Purpose.  The Franklin Resources, Inc. 2002 Universal Stock Incentive Plan (the "2002 Stock Plan") has been established by Franklin Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") to (i) attract and retain persons eligible to participate in the 2002 Stock Plan; (ii) motivate employees, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range performance goals; (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other similar companies; and (iv) further identify employees' interests with those of the Company's other stockholders through compensation that is based on the Company's common stock; and thereby promote the long-term financial interest of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

1.2    Participation.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2002 Stock Plan, a Committee shall determine and designate, from time to time, from among the Participants, those persons who will be granted one or more Awards under the 2002 Stock Plan.  In the discretion of a Committee, a Participant may be granted any Award permitted under the provisions of the 2002 Stock Plan, and more than one Award may be granted to a Participant.  Awards may be granted as alternatives to or replacement of awards outstanding under the 2002 Stock Plan, or any other plan or arrangement of the Company or a Subsidiary (including a plan or arrangement of a business or entity, all or a portion of which is acquired by the Company or a Subsidiary).

1.3    Operation, Administration, and Definitions.  The operation and administration of the 2002 Stock Plan, including the Awards made under the 2002 Stock Plan, shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4 (relating to operation and administration).  Capitalized terms in the 2002 Stock Plan shall be defined as set forth in the 2002 Stock Plan (including the definition provisions of Section 8 of the 2002 Stock Plan).

1.4    Stock Subject to 2002 Stock Plan; Share Counting.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 1.4 and Section 6.1 of the 2002 Stock Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares which may be delivered pursuant to Awards, including without limitation, Options and SAR's granted under the 2002 Stock Plan, is 40,000,000.  The shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.

(a)    To the extent any Shares covered by an Award are not delivered to a Participant or beneficiary because the Award is forfeited or canceled, or the Shares are not delivered because the Award is settled in cash, such Shares shall not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery pursuant to Awards granted under the 2002 Stock Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, all Shares covered by the portion of a SAR that is exercised (whether or not Shares are actually issued to the Participant upon exercise of the SAR) shall be considered issued pursuant to the 2002 Stock Plan.

(b)    If the exercise price of any Option granted under the 2002 Stock Plan is satisfied by tendering Shares to the Company (by either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of Shares issued net of the Shares tendered shall be deemed delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of Shares available for delivery pursuant to Awards (other than Options) granted under the 2002 Stock Plan.

(c)    Subject to adjustment under Section 6.1, (i) the maximum number of shares that may be granted to any one individual pursuant to Section 2 (relating to Options and SARs) shall be 400,000 Shares during any one-calendar-year period and (ii) the maximum number of Shares that may be granted to any one individual subject to Section 3 (relating to Stock Unit Awards, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Unit Awards and Performance Share Awards) shall be 1,000,000 Shares during any one-calendar-year period (regardless of when such Shares are deliverable).

		
	2.
	OPTIONS AND SARS

2.1    Options.

(a)    An Option is a grant of rights to purchase Shares at an exercise price established by the Compensation Committee, subject to Section 2.3.  Options granted under this Section 2 may be either Incentive Stock Options ("ISO") or Nonstatutory Stock Options ("NSO"), as determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. 

(b)    Each Option shall be designated in the written option agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option.  However, notwithstanding such designations, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be automatically treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options.  For purposes of this paragraph 2.1(b), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted, and the Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the original date the Option with respect to such Shares is granted. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are amended after the date the 2002 Stock Plan becomes effective to provide for a different limit on the Fair Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to Incentive Stock Options, then such different limit will be automatically incorporated herein and will apply to any Options granted after the effective date of such amendment.

(c)    The term of each Option shall be the term stated in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that in the case of any Incentive Stock Option, the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.  However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Optionee who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant thereof or such shorter term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

(d)    The date of grant of an Option shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Compensation Committee makes the determination granting such Option, or such other date as is determined by the Compensation Committee.  Notice of the determination shall be given to each Participant to whom an Option is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

2.2    Stock Appreciation Rights.  A "Stock Appreciation Right" ("SAR") is a grant of rights to receive, in cash or Stock (as determined by the Compensation Committee), value equal to (or otherwise based on) the excess of: (a) the Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares at the time of exercise; over (b) a base appreciation amount established by the Compensation Committee, subject to Section 2.3.

2.3    Exercise Price.  The exercise price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) of each Option and SAR shall be established by the Compensation Committee or shall be determined by a method established by the Compensation Committee at the time the Option or SAR is granted; provided that:
 
(a)    In the case of an ISO,
    
(i)    granted to an employee who, at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant;

(ii)    granted to any other employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(b)    In the case of a NSO, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(c)    In the case of a SAR, the base appreciation amount shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

2.4    Time and Manner of Exercise.  Options and SARs shall be exercisable in accordance with such terms and conditions and during such periods as may be established by a Committee; subject to the following terms regarding Options:

2

(a)    Termination of Employment.  In the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an employee with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, such Optionee may, but only within ninety (90) days after the date of such termination (or such other period as is set out by a Committee in the Option Agreement, but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent that Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination.  To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of such termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

(b)    Disability of Optionee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2.4(a) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee's Continuous Status as an employee as a result of disability (as determined by a Committee in accordance with the policies of the Company), Optionee may, but only within six (6) months from the date of such termination (or such other period as is set out by a Committee in the Option Agreement, but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination.  To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

(c)    Death of Optionee.  In the event of the death of an Optionee, the Option may be exercised, at any time within twelve (12) months following the date of death (or such other period as is set out by a Committee in the Option Agreement, but in no event later than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of death.  To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate.

(b)    The consideration to be paid for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option, including the method of payment, shall be determined by a Committee (and, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant) and may, in the discretion of a Committee, consist entirely of (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) delivery of authorization for the Company to retain from the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the exercise price for the total number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised, (iv) delivery of a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds required to pay the exercise price, (v) irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell Shares (or a sufficient portion of the shares) acquired upon exercise of the Option and remit to the Company a sufficient portion of the sale proceeds to pay the entire exercise price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise, (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment, or (vii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted under Applicable Laws.

	OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION

4.2    Term of Awards.  Subject to the limitations of Section 2.1(c), the term of each Award under the 2002 Stock Plan shall be the term stated in the applicable Award Agreement, provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the specified term of any Award shall not include any period for which the Participant has elected to defer the receipt of the Shares or cash issuable pursuant to the Award.

4.3    General Restrictions.  Delivery of Shares or other amounts under the 2002 Stock Plan shall be subject to the following:

(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2002 Stock Plan, the Company shall have no liability to deliver any Shares under the 2002 Stock Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the 2002 Stock Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity.

(b)    Shares issued under the 2002 Stock Plan may be certificated or, to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange, non-certificated.

4.4    Tax Withholding.  All distributions under the 2002 Stock Plan are subject to withholding of all applicable taxes, and a Committee may condition the delivery of any Shares or other benefits under the 2002 Stock Plan on satisfaction of the applicable withholding obligations.  A Committee, in its discretion, and subject to such requirements as such Committee may impose prior to the occurrence of such withholding, may permit such withholding obligations to be satisfied through cash payment by the Participant, through the surrender of Shares which the Participant already owns, or through the surrender of Shares to which the Participant is otherwise entitled under the 2002 Stock Plan, provided; however, that in either case only the number of Shares sufficient to satisfy the Company's minimum required tax withholding obligations may be surrendered to the Company.

4.5    Use of Shares.  Subject to the overall limitation on the number of Shares that may be delivered under the 2002 Stock Plan, a Committee may use available Shares as the form of payment for compensation, grants or rights earned or due under any other compensation plans or arrangements of the Company or a Subsidiary, including the plans and arrangements of the Company or a Subsidiary assumed in business combinations.

4.6    Dividends and Dividend Equivalents.  An Award (including without limitation an Option or SAR Award) may provide the Participant with the right to receive dividend payments or dividend equivalent payments with respect to Stock subject 

4

to the Award (both before and after the Stock subject to the Award is earned, vested, or acquired), which payments may be either made currently or credited to an account for the Participant, and may be settled in cash or Stock as determined by a Committee.  Any such settlements, and any such crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents or reinvestment in Shares, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as a Committee shall establish, including the reinvestment of such credited amounts in Stock equivalents.

4.7    Payments.  Awards may be settled through cash payments, the delivery of Shares, the granting of replacement Awards, or combination thereof as a Committee shall determine.  Any Award settlement, including payment deferrals, may be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as a Committee shall determine.  A Committee may permit or require the deferral of any Award payment, subject to such rules and procedures as it may establish, which may include provisions for the payment or crediting of interest, or dividend equivalents, including converting such credits into deferred Stock equivalents.  Each Subsidiary shall be liable for payment of cash due under the 2002 Stock Plan with respect to any Participant to the extent that such benefits are attributable to the services rendered for that Subsidiary by the Participant.  Any disputes relating to liability of a Subsidiary for cash payments shall be resolved by a Committee.

4.8    Non-alienation of Awards.  Unless specifically provided by a Committee in the Award Agreement, Awards under the 2002 Stock Plan may not be sold, assigned, conveyed, hypothecated, encumbered, anticipated, or otherwise disposed of, and are nontransferable except as designated by the Participant by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that an Award Agreement shall not provide that an Award is transferable during the lifetime of the Participant, except to the extent that such Award Agreement permits transfers made to family members, to family trusts, to family controlled entities, to charitable organizations, and/or pursuant to domestic relations orders or agreements, in all cases without payment for such transfers to the Participant.  Any attempt to sell, assign, convey, hypothecate, encumber, anticipate, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any Award under the 2002 Stock Plan in violation of this Section 4.8 shall be void, and no Shares or cash subject to any Award shall, prior to receipt thereof by a Participant, be in any manner subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts of such Participant.

4.9    Form and Time of Elections.  Unless otherwise specified herein, each election required or permitted to be made by any Participant or other person entitled to benefits under the 2002 Stock Plan, and any permitted modification, or revocation thereof, shall be in writing filed with a Committee at such times, in such form, and subject to such restrictions and limitations, not inconsistent with the terms of the 2002 Stock Plan, as such Committee shall require.

4.10    Agreement With Company.  An Award under the 2002 Stock Plan shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the 2002 Stock Plan, as a Committee shall, in its sole discretion, prescribe.  The terms and conditions of any Award to any Participant shall be reflected in such form of written document as is determined by a Committee.  A copy of such document shall be provided to the Participant, and a Committee may, but need not require that the Participant shall sign a copy of such document.  Such document is referred to in the 2002 Stock Plan as an "Award Agreement" regardless of whether any Participant signature is required.

4.11    Action by Company or Subsidiary.  Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary shall be by resolution of: (i) in the case of a corporation, its board of directors, or by action of one or more members of the board (including a committee of the board) who are duly authorized to act for the board, or (except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law or applicable rules of any stock exchange) by a duly authorized officer of the Company, (ii) in the case of a limited liability company, its member(s), and (iii) in the case of a partnership, its general partner.

4.12    Gender and Number.  Where the context admits, words in any gender shall include any other gender, words in the singular shall include the plural and the plural shall include the singular.

4.13    Limitation of Implied Rights.

(a)    Neither a Participant nor any other person shall, by reason of participation in the 2002 Stock Plan, acquire any right in or title to any assets, funds or property of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary whatsoever, including, without limitation, any specific funds, assets, or other property which the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, in their sole discretion, may set aside in anticipation of a liability under the 2002 Stock Plan.  A Participant shall have only a contractual right to the Stock or amounts, if any, payable under the 2002 Stock Plan, unsecured by any assets of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, and nothing contained in the 2002 Stock Plan shall constitute a guarantee that the assets of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary shall be sufficient to pay any benefits to any person.

(b)    The 2002 Stock Plan does not constitute a contract of employment, and selection as a Participant will not give any Participant the right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary, nor any right or claim to any 

5

benefit under the 2002 Stock Plan, unless such right or claim has specifically accrued under the terms of the 2002 Stock Plan.  Except as otherwise provided in the 2002 Stock Plan, no Award under the 2002 Stock Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the date on which the individual fulfills all conditions for receipt of such rights.

	COMMITTEES

5.1    Committees.  The authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the 2002 Stock Plan shall be vested in a committee or committees established by the Board with such powers and authority as shall be determined by the Board in its discretion (each such committee, a “Committee”).  In addition to any other Committee established by the Board, the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) shall be considered a Committee hereunder and shall be comprised, unless otherwise determined by the Board, solely of not less than two members of the Board who shall be "outside" directors within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(3) under Section 162(m) of the Code.  If a Committee does not exist, or for any other reason determined by the Board, the Board may take any action under the 2002 Stock Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of a Committee.

5.2    Powers of Committee.  Each Committee's administration of the 2002 Stock Plan shall be subject to the authority granted to such Committee by the Board and the following:

(a)    Subject to the provisions of the 2002 Stock Plan, a Committee will have the authority and discretion to select from among the Participants those persons who shall receive Awards, to determine the time or times of receipt, to determine the types of Awards and the number of shares covered by the Awards, to establish the terms, conditions, performance criteria (provided that, for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, performance measures shall be based on one or more of the criteria set out on Attachment I hereto), restrictions, and other provisions of such Awards, and (subject to Section 7) to cancel or suspend Awards.

(b)    To the extent that a Committee determines that the restrictions imposed by the 2002 Stock Plan preclude the achievement of the material purposes of the Awards in jurisdictions outside the United States, such Committee will have the authority and discretion to modify those restrictions as such Committee determines to be necessary or appropriate to conform to applicable requirements or practices of jurisdictions outside of the United States.

(c)    A Committee may grant Awards to Participants who are subject to the tax laws of nations other than the United States, which Awards may have terms and conditions as determined by the Committee as necessary to comply with applicable foreign laws.  A Committee may take any action which it deems advisable to obtain approval of such Awards by the appropriate foreign government entity; provided however that no such Awards may be granted under this 2002 Stock Plan and no action may be taken which would result in a violation of the Exchange Act, the Code or any other Applicable Law.

(d)    In controlling and managing the operation and administration of the 2002 Stock Plan, a Committee shall take action in a manner that conforms to the articles and by-laws of the Company, and Applicable Law.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything in the 2002 Stock Plan to the contrary, (i) the reduction of the exercise price of any Option awarded under the 2002 Stock Plan and the base appreciation amount of any SAR awarded under the 2002 Stock Plan shall be subject to stockholder approval and (ii) canceling an Option or SAR at a time when its exercise price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares, in exchange for another Option, SAR, Restricted Stock Award, or other Award shall be subject to stockholder approval, unless the cancellation and exchange occurs in connection with a Transaction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, canceling an Option or SAR in exchange for another Option, SAR, Restricted Stock Award, or other Award with an exercise price, purchase price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) that is equal to or greater than the exercise price or base appreciation amount (as applicable) of the original Option or SAR shall not be subject to stockholder approval.

(f)    Notwithstanding the authority granted to any other Committee, the Compensation Committee will have the sole authority and discretion to interpret the 2002 Stock Plan, to establish, amend, and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the 2002 Stock Plan, and to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2002 Stock Plan.

(g)    Any interpretation of the 2002 Stock Plan by the Compensation Committee and any decision made by it under the 2002 Stock Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.

5.3    Delegation by Compensation Committee.  Except to the extent prohibited by Applicable Law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, a Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its ministerial duties to any person or persons selected by it.  Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by a Committee at any time.

5.4    Information to be Furnished to Committee.  The Company and its Subsidiaries shall furnish any Committee with such data and information as such Committee determines may be required for it to discharge its duties.  The records of the Company and its Subsidiaries as to a Participant's employment, termination of employment, leave of absence, reemployment and compensation shall be conclusive on all persons unless determined to be incorrect.  Participants must furnish a Committee such evidence, data or information as such Committee considers desirable to carry out the terms of the 2002 Stock Plan in order to be entitled to benefits under the 2002 Stock Plan.

		
	6.
	ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR CORPORATE TRANSACTION

6.1    Changes in Capitalization.  Subject to any required action by the stockholders of the Company, (a) the number and/or class of securities covered by each outstanding Award, (b) the price per share covered by each such outstanding Award, (c) the number and/or class of securities which have been authorized for issuance under the 2002 Stock Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the 2002 Stock Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award, and (d) the maximum number of Options, SARs, Stock Unit Awards, Restricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Units Awards and Performance Share Awards which may be granted to any Participant in any one-calendar-year period shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company, provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been "effected without receipt of consideration."  Such adjustment shall be made by the Compensation Committee.  The Compensation Committee shall also make adjustments described in (a)-(d) of this Section 6.1 in the event of any distribution of cash or other assets to stockholders other than an ordinary cash dividend.  In determining adjustments to be made under this Section 6.1, the Compensation Committee may take into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including (i) the restrictions of Applicable Law, (ii) the potential tax, accounting or other consequences of an adjustment and (iii) the possibility that some Participants might receive an adjustment and a distribution or other unintended benefit, and in light of such factors or circumstances may make adjustments that are not uniform or proportionate among outstanding Awards, modify vesting dates, defer the delivery of stock certificates or make other equitable adjustments.  Any such adjustments to outstanding Awards will be effected in a manner that precludes the enlargement of rights and benefits under such Awards.  Adjustments, if any, and any determinations or interpretations, including any determination of whether a distribution is other than an ordinary cash dividend, made by the Compensation Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive.  Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of Shares of any class, or securities convertible into Shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award.

6.2    Transactions.  In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company or of a merger or corporate combination (a "Transaction") in which the successor corporation does not agree to assume the Award or substitute an equivalent Award, the Compensation Committee shall make a determination (subject to Section 7) as to the equitable treatment of outstanding Awards under the 2002 Stock Plan and shall notify Participants of such treatment no later than ten (10) days prior to such proposed Transaction.  To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award that is not assumed will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed Transaction.
