         "Pre-Tax EPS Growth" shall mean growth in Pre-Tax EPS (as defined
below) as measured at the end of each fiscal year of the Performance Period.
Growth shall be measured off of the Base Year Pre-Tax EPX.

         "Base Year Pre-Tax EPX" shall mean Pre-Tax Operating Earnings Per Share
divided by Fully Diluted Shares. Operating Earnings Per Share shall be the final
Base Year earnings per share excluding certain items as approved by the Board
consistent with past practice and reported by the company in its fiscal year end
earnings release.

         "Fully Diluted Shares" shall mean total diluted shares as reported in
the Company's Consolidated Income Statement for each fiscal year of the
Performance Period, but shall exclude the dilutive effect of any restricted

during the Performance Period.

         "Investment Grade" shall mean an investment rating of not less than
BBB- or Baa3 by one of the major rating agencies (Standard and Poors, Moodys
Investor Service or Fitch). If, at the time of measurement, the Corporation's
debt is not rated, then it shall be considered Investment Grade.

         "Pre-Tax Earnings" shall mean the Corporation's earnings before income
taxes as reported in the Company's Consolidated Income Statement for each fiscal
year of the Performance Period, excluding any non-cash charge incurred in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of

during the Performance Period and all options, restricted stock and other equity
compensation granted to Directors during the Performance Period.

         "Pre-Tax EPS" shall mean Pre-Tax Earnings divided by Fully Diluted
Shares.

                       INTERMAGNETICS GENERAL CORPORATION
                     2000 STOCK OPTION AND STOCK AWARD PLAN
                (as Amended and Restated as of February 21, 2006)

Section 1. Purpose

         The Plan authorizes the Board to motivate and reward superior
performance by providing key Employees and Consultants of the Corporation and
its Subsidiaries, and Non-Employee Directors of the Corporation, who are in a
position to contribute materially to the long-term success of the Corporation,
with options and stock awards with respect to Common Stock of the Corporation.
The Corporation believes that this incentive program will cause those persons to
increase their interest in the Corporation's welfare, and aid in attracting and
retaining Employees, Directors and Consultants of outstanding ability.

         Intermagnetics General Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Prior
Corporation"), adopted the Plan as of July 26, 2000. The Prior Corporation will
be reincorporated into a Delaware corporation, subject to stockholder approval
of the reincorporation. As a result of the reincorporation, the Corporation will
be the successor by merger to the Prior Corporation, and the Corporation will
maintain the Plan for the benefit of key Employees, Consultants and Non-Employee
Directors. As of the effective date of the reincorporation, each outstanding
Option and Stock Award of the Prior Corporation will be converted into an Option
or Stock Award, as applicable, with respect to an equal number of shares of
common stock of the Corporation, and upon the same terms and conditions, as the
original grant.

issued or transferred only pursuant to Performance-Based Stock Awards granted on
or after November 16, 2004.

         Stock issuable upon the exercise of any Option or grant of a Stock
Award may be authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares of Stock. If
any unexercised Options or Stock Awards lapse, are forfeited or terminate for
any reason, the Stock covered thereby may again be granted under the Plan. If
any Performance-Based Stock Awards from the aggregate number described in
subsection (b) above lapse, are forfeited or terminate for any reason, the Stock
covered thereby may again be granted as Performance-Based Stock Awards under
subsection (b) above.

         More than one Option or Stock Award may be granted to one person.
Subject to the provisions of Section 11, the maximum number of shares for which
an individual may receive grants under the Plan during any calendar year is
1,125,000 shares.

Section 4. Administration of the Plan

         The Plan shall be administered by the Board or (as described below) by
the Committee. To the extent the Board has designated a Committee to administer
the Plan, references herein to the "Board" shall be deemed to refer to such
Committee. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Board shall have
the authority to interpret the Plan, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and
regulations relating to the Plan, to determine the terms and provisions of stock
option agreements thereunder and to make all other determinations necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan and all decisions and
determinations of the Board shall be final, conclusive and binding on all
persons for all purposes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or related to
this Plan or the Options or Stock Awards granted thereunder shall be determined
unilaterally by, and at the sole discretion of, the Board. The Board's decisions
and determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made
selectively among Grantees, whether or not such Grantees are similarly situated.

Section 5. Types of Options

         Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: ISOs and NQSOs. The
Board shall have the authority and discretion to grant to an eligible Employee
either ISOs, NQSOs or both, but shall clearly designate the nature of each
Option at the time of grant. Consultants and Non-Employee Directors shall only
receive NQSOs.

Section 6. Grant of Options to Employees and Consultants

         (a) Key Employees and Consultants of the Corporation and its
Subsidiaries shall be eligible to receive Options under the Plan.

         (b) The exercise price per share of Stock subject to an Option granted
to an Employee or Consultant shall be determined by the Board, provided,
however, (i) that the exercise price of each share subject to an ISO shall be
not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Stock on the date
such ISO is granted, (ii) that such exercise price shall not be less than 110%
of such Fair Market Value for any ISO granted to a Control Person, and (iii)
that the exercise price of each share subject to an NQSO shall be not less than
85% of the Fair Market Value of a share of the Stock on the date such NQSO is
granted.

<PAGE>
         (c) The term of each Option granted to an Employee or Consultant shall
be determined by the Board, provided that no Option shall be exercisable more
than ten years from the date such Option is granted, and provided further that
no ISO granted to a Control Person shall be exercisable more than five years
from the date of Option grant.

         (d) The Board shall determine and designate from time to time the
Employees and Consultants who are to be granted Options, the nature of each
Option granted and the number of shares of Stock subject to each such Option.

         (e) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the aggregate Fair
Market Value (determined at the time the ISO is granted) of the Stock with
respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by any Employee during
any calendar year under all plans of the Corporation and any Parent or
Subsidiary corporation shall not exceed $100,000.

         (f) The Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether any
Option granted to an Employee or Consultant shall become exercisable in one or
more installments and specify the installment dates. The Board may also make
such other provisions, not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan, as it may
deem desirable, including such provisions as it may deem necessary to qualify
any ISO under the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. Notwithstanding any
determination by the Board regarding the exercise period of any Option granted
to an Employee or Consultant, all outstanding Options shall immediately become
exercisable upon a Change in Control of the Corporation.

         (g) The Board may, at any time, grant new or additional Options to any
eligible Employee or Consultant who has received Options previously under this
Plan, or options under other plans, whether such prior Options or other options
are still outstanding, have been exercised in whole or in part, or have been
canceled. The exercise price of such new or additional Options may be
established by the Board, subject to Section 6(b) hereof, without regard to such
previously granted Options or other options. Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan to the contrary, however, the Board may not reprice Options, nor may the
Board amend the Plan to permit repricing of Options, unless the stockholders of
the Corporation provide prior approval for such repricing.

         (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options granted to persons who are
non-exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended,
shall have an exercise price not less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the
Company Stock on the date of grant, and may not be exercisable for at least six
months after the date of grant (except that such Options may become exercisable,
as determined by the Board, upon the Grantee's death, disability or retirement,
or upon a Change in Control or other circumstances permitted by applicable
regulations).

Section 7. Grants of Options to Non-Employee Directors

         (a) Subject to any requirements of applicable law, the Board may make
grants of Options to Non-Employee Directors with such terms consistent with
Section 6 as the Board deems appropriate.

         (b) The exercise price of each share of Stock subject to an Option
granted to a Non-Employee Director shall equal the Fair Market Value of a share
of Stock on the date such Option is granted. Payment of the exercise price for
the shares being purchased may be made (i) in cash, (ii) by the surrender of
shares of Stock (at then Fair Market Value) owned by the Non-Employee Director
or (iii) through a broker pursuant to procedures permitted by Regulation T of
the Federal Reserve Board. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an Option
shall have been held for the requisite period of time to avoid adverse
accounting consequences to the Corporation.

         (c) Notwithstanding the exercise period of any Option granted to a
Non-Employee Director, all such outstanding Options shall immediately become
exercisable upon a Change in Control of the Corporation.

<PAGE>
Section 8. Exercise of Options

         (a) Upon the exercise of any Option, the Grantee shall pay the exercise
price for the shares being purchased in (i) cash, (ii) by surrender of shares of
Stock (at their Fair Market Value) owned by the Grantee, if permitted by such
stock option agreement, or (iii) through a broker pursuant to procedures
permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board. Shares used to pay the
exercise price of an Option shall have been held for the requisite period of
time to avoid adverse accounting consequences to the Corporation.

         (b) The number of shares which are issued pursuant to the exercise of
an Option shall be charged against the maximum limitation on shares set forth in
Section 3 hereof.

         (c) Except as provided in Section 12, no Option granted to an Employee
or Consultant shall be exercised unless at the time of such exercise the Grantee
is then an Employee or Consultant.

         (d) Except as provided in Section 12, no Option granted to a
Non-Employee Director shall be exercised unless at the time of such exercise the
Grantee is then a Non-Employee Director.

         (e) Before the Company issues Stock to a Grantee pursuant to the
exercise of an NQSO or the grant or vesting of a Stock Award, the Corporation
shall have the right to require that the Grantee make such provision, or furnish
the Corporation such authorization, necessary or desirable so that the
Corporation may satisfy its obligation, under applicable tax laws, to withhold
for income or other taxes due upon or incident to such exercise, grant or
vesting. Grantees may elect (hereinafter a "Withholding Election") either:

                  (i) to have the Corporation withhold, from the Stock to be
         issued pursuant to such exercise, grant or vesting, such number of such
         shares of Stock which, or

                  (ii) to surrender to the Corporation such number of shares of
         Stock already owned by the Grantee which,

                  (iii) at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the
         Option exercise or the grant or vesting of Stock Awards is taxable for
         federal income tax purposes (the "Tax Date"), shall be sufficient to
         satisfy the Corporation's withholding obligation with respect to the
         Option exercise or the grant or vesting of Stock Awards.
         Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of Shares that may be
         withheld may not exceed the Corporation's minimum federal (including
         FICA), state and local withholding tax obligation with respect to the
         Option exercise or the grant or vesting of Stock Awards. A Withholding
         Election may be made applicable with respect to a particular Option
         exercise or the grant or vesting of particular Stock Awards, to all
         previously granted Options and Stock Awards or to all Options or Stock
         Awards to be granted in the future. A Withholding Election may be made
         continuing until revoked by the Grantee.

         The Board may adopt such rules, forms and procedures as it considers
necessary or desirable to implement this Section 8, which rules, forms and
procedures shall be binding upon all Grantees, and which shall be applied
uniformly to all Grantees similarly situated.

Section 9. Stock Awards

         The Board may issue or transfer shares of Stock to an Employee,
Non-Employee Director or Consultant under a Stock Award, upon such terms as the
Board deems appropriate. The following provisions are applicable to Stock
Awards:

<PAGE>
         (a) The Board shall determine the number of shares of Stock to be
issued or transferred pursuant to a Stock Award. Shares of Stock issued or
transferred pursuant to Stock Awards may be issued or transferred for
consideration or for no consideration, and subject to restrictions or no
restrictions, as determined by the Board. The Board may, but shall not be
required to, establish conditions under which restrictions on Stock Awards shall
lapse over a period of time or according to such other criteria as the Board
deems appropriate, including, without limitation, restrictions based upon the
achievement of specific performance goals. The period of time during which the
Stock Awards will remain subject to restrictions will be designated in the grant
instrument as the restriction period.

         (b) If the Grantee ceases to be employed by, or provide service to, the
Company during a period designated in the grant instrument as the restriction
period, or if other specified conditions are not met, the Stock Award shall
terminate as to all shares covered by the grant as to which the restrictions
have not lapsed, and those shares of Stock must be immediately returned to the
Corporation. The Board may, however, provide for complete or partial exceptions
to this requirement as it deems appropriate.

         (c) During the restriction period, a Grantee may not sell, assign,
transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the shares of a Stock Award except to a
successor upon death. Each certificate for a share of a Stock Award shall
contain a legend giving appropriate notice of the restrictions in the grant
agreement. The Grantee shall be entitled to have the legend removed from the
stock certificate covering the shares subject to restrictions when all
restrictions on such shares have lapsed. The Board may determine that the
Corporation will not issue certificates for Stock Awards until all restrictions
on such shares have lapsed, or that the Corporation will retain possession of
certificates for shares of Stock Awards until all restrictions on such shares
have lapsed.

         (d) Unless the Board determines otherwise, during the restriction
period, the Grantee shall have the right to vote shares of Stock Awards and to
receive any dividends or other distributions paid on such shares, subject to any
restrictions deemed appropriate by the Board.

         (e) All restrictions imposed on Stock Awards shall lapse upon the
expiration of the applicable restriction period and the satisfaction of all
conditions imposed by the Board. The Board may determine, as to any or all Stock
Awards, that the restrictions shall lapse without regard to any restriction
period.

         (f) The Board may issue a Stock Award in the form of "Restricted Units"
that convert into Stock upon the lapsing of restrictions set by the Board.
Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Grantee shall not have the right to
vote Restricted Units, but Restricted Units shall otherwise be treated as Stock
Awards pursuant to the terms of this Plan.

         (g) The Board may grant Performance-Based Stock Awards, which are Stock
Awards that are subject to vesting or payment based on attainment of performance
goals and such other criteria as the Board determines, including (but not
limited to) grants of "qualified performance-based compensation" as described in
Section 10 below. Performance-Based Stock Awards shall have such terms as the
Board determines and may provide for full or partial vesting or payment upon a
Change in Control or other circumstances as the Board deems appropriate.

Section 10. Qualified Performance-Based Compensation

         (a) The Board may determine that Stock Awards granted to an Employee
shall be considered "qualified performance-based compensation" under section
162(m) of the Code. The provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to grants of
Stock Awards that are to be considered "qualified performance-based
compensation" under section 162(m) of the Code. Stock Awards that are designated
as "qualified performance-based compensation" must be granted by a Committee
consisting of "outside directors" under section 162(m) of the Code.

<PAGE>
         (b) When Stock Awards that are to be considered "qualified
performance-based compensation" are granted, the Committee shall establish in
writing (i) the objective performance goals that must be met, (ii) the
performance period during which the performance goals must be met, (iii) the
threshold, target and maximum amounts that may be paid if the performance goals
are met, and (iv) any other conditions that the Committee deems appropriate and
consistent with the Plan and section 162(m) of the Code. The performance goals
may relate to the Employee's business unit or the performance of the Corporation
and its Subsidiaries as a whole, or any combination of the foregoing. The
Committee shall use objectively determinable performance goals based on one or
more of the following criteria: stock price, earnings per share, net earnings,
operating earnings, return on assets, shareholder return, return on equity,
growth in assets, unit volume, sales, market share, or strategic business
criteria consisting of one or more objectives based on meeting specified revenue
goals, market penetration goals, geographic business expansion goals, cost
targets or goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures.

         (c) The Committee shall establish the performance goals in writing
either before the beginning of the performance period or during a period ending
no later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the beginning of the performance
period or (ii) the date on which 25% of the performance period has been
completed, or such other date as may be required or permitted under applicable
regulations under section 162(m) of the Code. The performance goals shall
satisfy the requirements for "qualified performance-based compensation,"
including the requirement that the achievement of the goals be substantially
uncertain at the time they are established and that the goals be established in
such a way that a third party with knowledge of the relevant facts could
determine whether and to what extent the performance goals have been met. The
Committee shall not have discretion to increase the amount of compensation that
is payable upon achievement of the designated performance goals.

         (d) If Stock Awards are granted under this Section 10, not more than
1,125,000 shares of Stock may be granted to an Employee under the Stock Awards
for any calendar year in the performance period.

         (e) The Committee shall certify and announce the results for each
performance period to all Grantees immediately following the announcement of the
Corporation's financial results for the performance period. If and to the extent
that the Committee does not certify that the performance goals have been met,
the grants of Stock Awards for the performance period shall be forfeited or
shall not be made, as applicable.

         (f) The Committee may provide that Stock Awards shall be granted or
restrictions on Stock Awards shall lapse, in whole or in part, in the event of
the Grantee's death or disability during the performance period, or under other
circumstances consistent with the Treasury regulations and rulings under section
162(m).

Section 11. Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization

         In the event of any reclassification, recapitalization, merger,
consolidation, reorganization, stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock
split, combination or exchange of shares, repurchase of shares or any other
change in corporate structure which in the judgment of the Board materially
affects the value of shares, the Board may determine the appropriate adjustments
if any, to the number and class of shares authorized to be issued or transferred
under the Plan and the number and class of shares and exercise price per share
set forth in any Option or Stock Award theretofore granted, provided that no
such adjustments shall be made to any ISO without the Grantee's consent, if such
adjustment would cause such ISO to fail to qualify as such.

<PAGE>
Section 12. Termination of Relationship with the Corporation

         (a) Upon the termination of an Employee's employment or a Consultant's
consulting relationship with the Corporation for any reason (except as otherwise
set forth in this Section 12(a)), such Grantee's Options shall cease vesting as
of the date of termination and shall terminate 90 days after such termination of
employment or service (or after such other period as the Board shall determine).
Unless the Board determines otherwise, upon termination of an Employee's
employment as a result of retirement (at or after age 55 and five years of
service), disability or death, such Grantee or his or her legal representative
may exercise any outstanding and then exercisable installments of his or her
Options for a period not to exceed: (i) one year from the date of such
termination in the case of death or permanent and total disability (within the
meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), and (ii) six months from the date of
such termination in the case of retirement or other disability (as determined by
the Board), provided, however, that in no event shall the period extend beyond
the expiration of the Option term. Unless the Board determines otherwise, in no
event shall any Option be exercisable for more than the maximum number of shares
that the Grantee was entitled to purchase at the date of termination,
retirement, disability, or death, as the case may be. In the case of an Employee
or Consultant, a transfer among the Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall not
be deemed to be a termination of the employment or consulting relationship.
Unless the Board determines otherwise, if a Grantee changes from the status of
an Employee to a Consultant, or from a Consultant to an Employee, the Grantee's
outstanding Options will cease vesting, but the Grantee may retain his or her
then exercisable Options during the Grantee's employment or service with the
Corporation and its Subsidiaries (but not later than the expiration of the
Option term). When the Grantee subsequently ceases to be an Employee or
Consultant, the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a) shall apply.

         (b) Upon a Non-Employee Director ceasing to be a Non-Employee Director
of the Corporation for any reason (except as otherwise set forth in this Section
12(b)), such Grantee's Options shall cease vesting as of the date of termination
and shall terminate 90 days after such termination of service. Unless the Board
determines otherwise, upon the Grantee ceasing to be a Non-Employee Director as
a result of retirement (at or after age 70 or after five consecutive terms as a
Non-Employee Director), disability (as determined by the Board) or death, the
Non-Employee Director's outstanding Options shall become fully exercisable, and
the period during which such Grantee may exercise his or her outstanding Options
shall not exceed: (i) one year from the date of death or disability, and (ii)
two years from the date of retirement, provided, however, that in no event shall
the period extend beyond the expiration of the Option term. Unless the Board
determines otherwise, if a Non-Employee Director becomes an Employee or
Consultant, the Non-Employee Director's outstanding Options shall continue to
vest during his or her employment or service with the Corporation and its
Subsidiaries and the change in status shall not be considered a termination of
the Non-Employee Director's service with the Company. When the Grantee
subsequently ceases to be an Employee or Consultant, the provisions of Section
12(a) shall govern. Unless the Board determines otherwise, and except as
provided above, in no event shall any Option be exercisable for more than the
maximum number of shares that the Grantee was entitled to purchase at the date
of termination, retirement, disability or death, as the case may be.

         (c) Subject to the foregoing, in the event of death, Options may be
exercised by a Grantee's legal representative.

Section 13. General Provisions

         (a) Each grant shall be evidenced by a written stock option or stock
award agreement. ISOs and NQSOs may be granted to Employees simultaneously and
subject to a single stock option agreement, provided, however, that in no event
shall a NQSO be granted in tandem with an ISO such that the exercise of one
affects the right to exercise the other. The terms and provisions of such stock
option or stock award agreements (including the exercise price specified
therein) may vary among Grantees and among different Options or Stock Awards
granted to the same Grantee.

         (b) The grant of an Option or Stock Award in any year shall not give
the Grantee any right to similar grants in future years or any right to continue
such Grantee's employment or consultant relationship with the Corporation or its
Subsidiaries. All Grantees shall remain subject to discharge to the same extent
as if the Plan were not in effect.

         (c) No Grantee, and no beneficiary or other persons claiming under or
through the Grantee shall have any right, title or interest by reason of any
Option or Stock Award to any particular assets of the Corporation or its
Subsidiaries, or any shares of Stock allocated or reserved for the purposes of
the Plan or subject to any Option or Stock Award except as set forth herein. The

subject to anticipation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge except
by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and an Option shall be
exercisable during the Grantee's lifetime only by the Grantee. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Grantee may transfer a NQSO to his or her family members or to
a trust for family members for estate planning purposes, provided the Grantee
gives the Corporation advance written notice of the transfer and subject to the
completion of any required forms.

         (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan or stock option or

under this Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

             (1) The listing, or approval for listing upon notice of issuance,
of such shares on any securities exchange on which the Stock may then be traded;

             (2) Any registration or other qualification of such shares under
any state or federal law or regulation, or other qualification which the Board
shall, in its absolute discretion and upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary
or advisable;

             (3) The obtaining of any other consent, approval or permit from any
state or federal governmental agency which the Board shall, in its absolute
discretion and upon the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or
advisable; and

             (4) The execution by the Grantee (or the Grantee's legal
representative) of such written representation that the Board may in its sole
discretion deem necessary or advisable to the effect that the shares then being
purchased are being purchased for investment with no present intention of
reselling or otherwise disposing of such shares in any manner which may result
in a violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the placement upon
certificates for such shares of an appropriate legend in connection therewith.

         (f) The issuance of shares of Stock to Grantees or to their legal
representatives shall be subject to any applicable taxes and other laws or
regulations of the United States or of any state having jurisdiction thereof.

         (g) In the case of a grant of an Option or Stock Award to any Employee
or Consultant of a Subsidiary, the Corporation may, if the Board so directs,
issue or transfer the shares covered by the Option or Stock Award to the
Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Board may specify, upon the
condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the shares to the
Employee or Consultant in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the stock
option agreement relating to such Option.

Section 14. Amendment or Termination

         (a) The Board may, at any time, alter, amend, suspend, discontinue or
terminate this Plan; provided, however, that no such action shall adversely
affect the rights of Grantees to Options or Stock Awards previously granted
hereunder and, provided further, however, that any shareholder approval
necessary or desirable in order to comply with section 422 or 162(m) of the Code
(or other applicable law or regulation) shall be obtained in the manner required
therein.

         (b) If Stock Awards are granted as "qualified performance-based
compensation" under Section 10 above, the Plan must be reapproved by the
shareholders no later than the first shareholders meeting that occurs in the
fifth year following the year in which the shareholders previously approved the
provisions of Section 10, if required by section 162(m) of the Code or the
regulations thereunder.
