consultants and prospective employees) of Optium Corporation (the "Company") and
its Subsidiaries upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the Company largely
depends for the successful conduct of its business to acquire a proprietary
interest in the Company. It is anticipated that providing such persons with a
direct stake in the Company's welfare will assure a closer identification of
their interests with those of the Company and its stockholders, thereby

to remain with the Company.

     (b) POWERS OF THE COMMITTEE. The Committee shall have the power and
authority to grant Awards consistent with the terms of the Plan, including the
power and authority:

         (i) to select the individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be

Rights, Restricted Stock Awards, Deferred Stock Awards, Unrestricted Stock
Awards and Cash-based Awards, or any combination of the foregoing, granted to
any one or more grantees;

         (iii) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by any
Award;

         (iv) to determine and modify from time to time the terms and
conditions, including restrictions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan,
of any Award, which terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and
grantees, and to approve the form of written instruments evidencing the Awards;

         (v) to accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or
any portion of any Award;

         (vi) subject to the provisions of Section 5(a)(ii), to extend at any
time the period in which Stock Options may be exercised; and

         (vii) at any time to adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and
practices for administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as
it shall deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and
any Award (including related written instruments); to make all determinations it
deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; to decide all disputes
arising in connection with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the
administration of the Plan.

     All decisions and interpretations of the Committee shall be binding on all
persons, including the Company and Plan grantees.

     (c) DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY TO GRANT AWARDS. The Committee, in its
discretion, may delegate to any executive officer of the Company all or part of
the Committee's authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards, to
individuals who are (i) not subject to the reporting and other provisions of
Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (ii) not Covered Employees. Any such
delegation by the Committee shall include a limitation as to the amount of
Awards that may be granted during the period of the delegation and shall contain
guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price of any Stock Option or
Stock Appreciation Right, the conversion ratio or price of other Awards and the
vesting criteria. The Committee may revoke or

                                       4

<Page>

amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate
any prior actions of the Committee's delegate or delegates that were consistent
with the terms of the Plan.

     (d) AWARD AGREEMENT. Awards under the Plan shall be evidenced by Award
Agreements that set forth the terms, conditions and limitations for each Award
which may include, without limitation, the term of an Award, the provisions
applicable in the event employment or service terminates, and the Company's
authority to unilaterally or bilaterally amend, modify, suspend, cancel or
rescind an Award.

     (e) INDEMNIFICATION. Neither the Board nor the Committee, nor any member of
either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission,
interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection
with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Committee (and any delegate
thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by
the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the
fullest extent permitted by law and/or under the Company's articles or bylaws or
any directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage which may be in effect
from time to time and/or any indemnification agreement between such individual
and the Company.

     (f) FOREIGN AWARD RECIPIENTS. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to
the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the
Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have employees or other individuals
eligible for Awards, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power
and authority to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan;
(ii) determine which individuals outside the United States are eligible to
participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award
granted to individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable
foreign laws; (iv) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other
terms and procedures, to the extent the Committee determines such actions to be
necessary or advisable (and such subplans and/or modifications shall be attached

modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Section 3(a)
hereof; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that the
Committee determines to be necessary or advisable to obtain approval or comply
with any local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee may not take any actions hereunder, and no Awards
shall be granted, that would violate the Exchange Act or any other applicable
addresscountry-regionUnited States securities law, the Code, or any other
applicable addresscountry-regionUnited States governing statute or law.

SECTION 3. STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION

     (a) STOCK ISSUABLE. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and
available for issuance under the Plan shall be the sum of (i) 283,333, (ii)
the number of shares equal to the number of stock options or other awards
returned to the Company's Stock Incentive Plan after the Effective Date, as a
result of the expiration, cancellation or termination of such stock options or
other awards and (iii) as of January 1, 2007 and on the first day of each fiscal
quarter thereafter, a number of shares equal to three fourths of one percent
(0.75%) of the Company's outstanding Stock on such date, subject to adjustment
as provided in Section 3(b); provided that not more than 283,333 shares shall
be issued in the form of Incentive Stock Options. For

                                       5

<Page>

purposes of this limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any Awards that are
forfeited, canceled, held back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an
Award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company
prior to vesting, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise
terminated (other than by exercise) shall be added back to the shares of Stock
available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitations,
shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or
types of Award; provided, however, that Stock Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights with respect to no more than 833,333 shares of Stock may be granted to
any one individual grantee during any one calendar year period. The shares
available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of
Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company.

     (b) CHANGES IN STOCK. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of
any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company's capital
stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the
Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of
the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares
of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities
of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the
Committee shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the
maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number
of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights that can be granted to any one
individual grantee and the maximum number of shares that may be granted under a
Performance-based Award, (iii) the number and kind of shares or other securities
subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan, (iv) the repurchase
price, if any, per share subject to each outstanding Restricted Stock Award, and
(v) the price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options and
Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan, without changing the aggregate
exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) as to which such Stock Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights remain exercisable. The Committee shall also adjust the
number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the
terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration material changes in
accounting practices or principles, extraordinary dividends, acquisitions or
dispositions of stock or property or any other event to the extent necessary to
avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan. The adjustment by the Committee
shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be
issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Committee in
its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares.

     No adjustment shall be made under this Section 3(b) in the case of an
Option or Stock Appreciation Right, without the consent of the grantee, if it
would constitute a modification, extension or renewal of the Option within the
meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code or a modification of the Option or Stock
Appreciation Right such that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right becomes
treated as "nonqualified deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A.

     (c) CONSEQUENCES OF AN ACQUISITION. Upon the consummation of an
Acquisition, the Board or the board of directors of the surviving or acquiring
entity (as used in this Section 3(c),

                                       6

<Page>

also the "Board"), shall, as to outstanding Awards (on the same basis or on
different bases as the Board shall specify), make appropriate provision for the
continuation of such Awards by the Company or the assumption of such Awards by
the surviving or acquiring entity and by substituting on an equitable basis for
the shares then subject to such Awards either (a) the consideration payable with
respect to the outstanding shares of Stock in connection with the Acquisition,
(b) shares of stock of the surviving or acquiring entity or (c) such other
securities or other consideration as the Board deems appropriate, the fair
market value of which (as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) shall
not materially differ from the fair market value of the shares of Stock subject
to such Awards immediately preceding the Acquisition. In addition to or in lieu
of the foregoing, with respect to outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights, the Board may, on the same basis or on such different bases as the Board
shall specify, upon written notice to the affected optionees, provide that one
or more Options and Stock Appreciation Rights then outstanding must be
exercised, in whole or in part, within a specified number of days of the date of
such notice, at the end of which period such Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights shall terminate, or provide that one or more Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights then outstanding, in whole or in part, shall be terminated
in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the fair market value (as
determined by the Board in its sole discretion) for the shares subject to such
Options and Stock Appreciation Rights over the exercise price thereof; provided,
however, that before terminating any portion of an Option or Stock Appreciation
Right that is not vested or exercisable (other than in exchange for a cash
payment), the Board must first accelerate in full the exercisability of the
portion that is to be terminated. Unless otherwise determined by the Board (on
the same basis or on such different bases as the Board shall specify), any
repurchase rights or other rights of the Company that relate to an Option, Stock
Appreciation Right or other Award shall continue to apply to consideration,
including cash, that has been substituted, assumed or amended for an Option,
Stock Appreciation Right or other Award pursuant to this paragraph. The Company
may hold in escrow all or any portion of any such consideration in order to
effectuate any continuing restrictions.

     (d) SUBSTITUTE AWARDS. The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in
substitution for stock and stock based awards held by employees, directors or
other key persons of another corporation in connection with the merger or
consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a Subsidiary or
the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or stock of the
employing corporation. The Committee may direct that the substitute awards be
granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in
the circumstances. Any substitute Awards granted under the Plan shall not count
against the share limitation set forth in Section 3(a).

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY

     Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other
employees, Non-Employee Directors and key persons (including consultants and
prospective employees) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as are selected from
time to time by the Committee in its sole discretion.

                                       7

<Page>

SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS

     Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the
Committee may from time to time approve.

     Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options
or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a "subsidiary corporation"
within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option
does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.

     (a) STOCK OPTIONS GRANTED TO EMPLOYEES AND KEY PERSONS. The Committee in
its discretion may grant Stock Options to eligible employees and key persons of
the Company or any Subsidiary. Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section
5(a) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain
such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the
Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable. If the Committee so determines,
Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee's
election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish.

         (i) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered
by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be determined by
the Committee at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the
Fair Market Value on the date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the option price of such Incentive Stock
Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the grant
date.

         (ii) OPTION TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the
Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after
the date the Stock Option is granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option
that is granted to a Ten Percent Owner, the term of such Stock Option shall be
no more than five years from the date of grant.

         (iii) EXERCISABILITY; RIGHTS OF A STOCKHOLDER. Stock Options shall
become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as
shall be determined by the Committee at or after the grant date. The Committee
may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Stock
Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares
acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock
Options.

         (iv) METHOD OF EXERCISE. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in
part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number
of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or
more of the following methods to the extent provided in the Option Award
Agreement:

          (A) In cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable
     to the Committee;

          (B) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares
     of Stock that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or
     that are

                                       8

<Page>

     beneficially owned by the optionee and are not then subject to restrictions
     under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair
     Market Value on the exercise date. To the extent required to avoid variable
     accounting treatment under FAS 123R or other applicable accounting rules,
     such surrendered shares shall have been owned by the optionee for at least
     six months; or

          (C) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed
     exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
     promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to
     the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee
     chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the
     broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of
     indemnity and other agreements as the Committee shall prescribe as a
     condition of such payment procedure.

Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The transfer to the
optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the shares of
Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be
contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in
accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full
purchase price for such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements
contained in the Option Award Agreement or applicable provisions of laws
(including the satisfaction of any withholding taxes that the Company is
obligated to withhold with respect to the optionee). In the event an optionee
chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through
the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the
optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of
shares attested to. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or
using the services of a third party, an automated system for the exercise of
Stock Options, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice
response, then the paperless exercise of Stock Options may be permitted through
the use of such an automated system.

         (v) ANNUAL LIMIT ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. To the extent required for
"incentive stock option" treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate
Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any
other plan of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations become
exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not
exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it
shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

     (a) EXERCISE PRICE OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The exercise price of a
Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market
Value of the Stock on the date of grant (or more than the Stock Option exercise
price per share, if the Stock Appreciation Right was granted in tandem with a
Stock Option).

     (b) GRANT AND EXERCISE OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Stock Appreciation
Rights may be granted by the Committee in tandem with, or independently of, any
Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan. In the case of a Stock
Appreciation Right granted in tandem

                                       9

<Page>

with a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such Stock Appreciation Right may be granted
either at or after the time of the grant of such Option. In the case of a Stock
Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, such Stock
Appreciation Right may be granted only at the time of the grant of the Option.

     A Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted in tandem
with a Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the
termination or exercise of the related Option.

     (c) TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Stock Appreciation
Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined from
time to time by the Committee, subject to the following:

         (i) Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with Options shall be
exercisable at such time or times and to the extent that the related Stock
Options shall be exercisable.

         (ii) Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the applicable
portion of any related Option shall be surrendered.

SECTION 7. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

     (a) NATURE OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. The Committee shall determine the
restrictions and conditions applicable to each Restricted Stock Award at the
time of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other
service relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals
and objectives. The grant of a Restricted Stock Award is contingent on the
grantee executing the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. The terms and conditions
of each such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such
terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.

     (b) RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Upon execution of the Restricted Stock Award
Agreement and payment of any applicable purchase price, a grantee shall have the
rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the Restricted Stock,
subject to such conditions contained in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.
Unless the Committee shall otherwise determine, (i) uncertificated Restricted
Stock shall be accompanied by a notation on the records of the Company or the
transfer agent to the effect that they are subject to forfeiture until such
Restricted Stock are vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and (ii)
certificated Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company
until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in Section 7(d) below, and the
grantee shall be required, as a condition of the grant, to deliver to the
Company such instruments of transfer as the Committee may prescribe.

     (c) RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided
herein or in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. Except as may otherwise be
provided by the Committee either in the Award Agreement or, subject to Section
17 below, in writing after the Award Agreement is issued, if any, if a grantee's
employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries
terminates for any reason, any Restricted Stock that has not vested at the time
of termination shall automatically and without any requirement of notice to such
grantee from or

                                       10

<Page>

other action by or on behalf of, the Company be deemed to have been reacquired
by the Company at its original purchase price from such grantee or such
grantee's legal representative simultaneously with such termination of
employment (or other service relationship), and thereafter shall cease to
represent any ownership of the Company by the grantee or rights of the grantee
as a stockholder. Following such deemed reacquisition of unvested Restricted
Stock that are represented by physical certificates, a grantee shall surrender
such certificates to the Company upon request without consideration.

     (d) VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK. The Committee at the time of grant shall
specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established performance
goals, objectives and other conditions on which the non-transferability of the
Restricted Stock and the Company's right of repurchase or forfeiture shall
lapse. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or the attainment of such
pre-established performance goals, objectives and other conditions, the shares
on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no longer be Restricted Stock and
shall be deemed "vested." Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee
either in the Award Agreement or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing after
the Award Agreement is issued, a grantee's rights in any shares of Restricted
Stock that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee's
termination of employment (or other service relationship) with the Company and
its Subsidiaries and such shares shall be subject to the provisions of Section
7(c) above.

SECTION 8. DEFERRED STOCK AWARDS

     (a) NATURE OF DEFERRED STOCK AWARDS. The Committee shall determine the
restrictions and conditions applicable to each Deferred Stock Award at the time
of grant. Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service
relationship) and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and
objectives. The grant of a Deferred Stock Award is contingent on the grantee
executing the Deferred Stock Award Agreement. The terms and conditions of each
such Award Agreement shall be determined by the Committee, and such terms and
conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees. At the end of the
deferral period, the Deferred Stock Award, to the extent vested, shall be paid
to the grantee in the form of shares of Stock.

     (b) ELECTION TO RECEIVE DEFERRED STOCK AWARDS IN LIEU OF COMPENSATION. The
Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee to elect to receive a
portion of future cash compensation otherwise due to such grantee in the form of
a Deferred Stock Award. Any such election shall be made in writing and shall be
delivered to the Company no later than the date specified by the Committee and
in accordance with Section 409A and such other rules and procedures established
by the Committee. The Committee shall have the sole right to determine whether
and under what circumstances to permit such elections and to impose such
limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the Committee deems
appropriate. Any such deferred compensation shall be converted to a fixed number
of phantom stock units based on the Fair Market Value of Stock on the date the
compensation would otherwise have been paid to the grantee but for the deferral.

     (c) RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. During the deferral period, a grantee shall
have no rights as a stockholder; provided, however, that the grantee may be
credited with Dividend Equivalent

                                       11

<Page>

Rights with respect to the phantom stock units underlying his Deferred Stock
Award, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.

     (d) TERMINATION. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Committee
either in the Award Agreement or, subject to Section 16 below, in writing after
the Award Agreement is issued, a grantee's right in all Deferred Stock Awards
that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee's
termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the
Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.

SECTION 9. UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS

     GRANT OR SALE OF UNRESTRICTED STOCK. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price
determined by the Committee) an Unrestricted Stock Award under the Plan.
Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted in respect of past services or other
valid consideration, or in lieu of cash compensation due to such grantee.

SECTION 10. CASH-BASED AWARDS

     (a) GRANT OF CASH-BASED AWARDS. The Committee may, in its sole discretion,
grant Cash-based Awards to any grantee in such number or amount and upon such
terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Committee shall determine at the
time of grant. The Committee shall determine the maximum duration of the
Cash-based Award, the amount of cash to which the Cash-based Award pertains, the
conditions upon which the Cash-based Award shall become vested or payable, and
such other provisions as the Committee shall determine. Each Cash-based Award
shall specify a cash-denominated payment amount, formula or payment ranges as
determined by the Committee. Payment, if any, with respect to a Cash-based Award
shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Award and may be made in cash
or in shares of Stock, as the Committee determines.

SECTION 11. PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS TO COVERED EMPLOYEES

     (a) PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. Any employee or other key person providing
services to the Company and who is selected by the Committee may be granted one
or more Performance-based Awards in the form of a Restricted Stock Award,
Deferred Stock Award or Cash-based Award payable upon the attainment of
Performance Goals that are established by the Committee and relate to one or
more of the Performance Criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or
over any period or periods determined by the Committee. The Committee shall
define in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the Performance
Criteria it selects to use for any Performance Period. Depending on the
Performance Criteria used to establish such Performance Goals, the Performance
Goals may be expressed in terms of overall Company performance or the
performance of a division, business unit, or an individual. The Committee, in
its discretion, may adjust or modify the calculation of Performance Goals for
such Performance Period in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the
rights of an individual (i) in the event of, or in anticipation of, any unusual
or extraordinary corporate item, transaction, event or development, or (ii) in
recognition of, or in anticipation of, any other unusual or nonrecurring events
affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or (iii) in
response to, or in anticipation of, changes in applicable laws, regulations,
accounting principles, or business

                                       12

<Page>

conditions provided however, that the Committee may not exercise such discretion
in a manner that would increase the Performance-based Award granted to a Covered
Employee. Each Performance-based Award shall comply with the provisions set
forth below.

     (b) GRANT OF PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. With respect to each
Performance-based Award granted to a Covered Employee, the Committee shall
select, within the first 90 days of a Performance Cycle (or, if shorter, within
the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code) the Performance
Criteria for such grant, and the Performance Goals with respect to each
Performance Criterion (including a threshold level of performance below which no
amount will become payable with respect to such Award). Each Performance-based
Award will specify the amount payable, or the formula for determining the amount
payable, upon achievement of the various applicable performance targets. The
Performance Criteria established by the Committee may be (but need not be)
different for each Performance Cycle and different Performance Goals may be
applicable to Performance-based Awards to different Covered Employees.

     (c) PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. Following the completion of a
Performance Cycle, the Committee shall meet to review and certify in writing
whether, and to what extent, the Performance Goals for the Performance Cycle
have been achieved and, if so, to also calculate and certify in writing the
amount of the Performance-based Awards earned for the Performance Cycle. The
Committee shall then determine the actual size of each Covered Employee's
Performance-based Award, and, in doing so, may reduce or eliminate the amount of
the Performance-based Award for a Covered Employee if, in its sole judgment,
such reduction or elimination is appropriate.

     (d) MAXIMUM AWARD PAYABLE. The maximum Performance-based Award payable to
any one Covered Employee under the Plan for a Performance Cycle is 833,333
Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) hereof) or $10,000,000
in the case of a Performance-based Award that is a Cash-based Award.

SECTION 12. TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS

     (a) TRANSFERABILITY. Except as provided in Section 12(b) below, during a
grantee's lifetime, his or her Awards shall be exercisable only by the grantee,
or by the grantee's legal representative or guardian in the event of the
grantee's incapacity. No Awards shall be sold, assigned, transferred or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of by a grantee other than by will or by the
laws of descent and distribution. No Awards shall be subject, in whole or in
part, to attachment, execution, or levy of any kind, and any purported transfer
in violation hereof shall be null and void.

     (b) COMMITTEE ACTION. Notwithstanding Section 12(a), the Committee, in its
discretion, may provide either in the Award Agreement regarding a given Award or
by subsequent written approval that the grantee (who is an employee or director)
may transfer his or her Awards (other than any Incentive Stock Options) to his
or her immediate family members, to trusts for the benefit of such family
members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners,
provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by
all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Award.

                                       13

<Page>

     (c) FAMILY MEMBER. For purposes of Section 12(b), "family member" shall
mean a grantee's child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent,
spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law,
son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including
adoptive relationships, any person sharing the grantee's household (other than a
tenant of the grantee), a trust in which these persons (or the grantee) have
more than 50 percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these
persons (or the grantee) control the management of assets, and any other entity
in which these persons (or the grantee) own more than 50 percent of the voting
interests.

     (d) DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. Each grantee to whom an Award has been made
under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any
Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee's
death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the
Committee and shall not be effective until received by the Committee. If no
beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated
beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the
grantee's estate.

SECTION 13. TAX WITHHOLDING

     (a) PAYMENT BY GRANTEE. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of
which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder
first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for Federal income
tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Committee regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld by the Company with respect to such income. The
Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the
right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the
grantee. The Company's obligation to deliver evidence of book entry (or stock
certificates) to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax withholding
obligations being satisfied by the grantee.

     (b) PAYMENT IN STOCK. Subject to approval by the Committee, a grantee may
elect to have the Company's minimum required tax withholding obligation
satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold from
shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an
aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that
would satisfy the withholding amount due, or (ii) transferring to the Company
shares of Stock owned by the grantee with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of
the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount
due.

SECTION 14. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED
            COMPENSATION UNDER SECTION 409A.

     In the event any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan is
materially modified and deemed a new grant at a time when the Fair Market Value
exceeds the exercise price, or any other Award is otherwise determined to
constitute "nonqualified deferred compensation" within the meaning of Section
409A (a "409A Award"), the following additional conditions shall apply and shall
supersede any contrary provisions of this Plan or the terms of any agreement
relating to such 409A Award.

                                       14

<Page>

     (a) EXERCISE AND DISTRIBUTION. Except as provided in Section 14(b) hereof,

the written instrument evidencing the 409A Award.

         (ii) SEPARATION FROM SERVICE. Separation from service (within the
meaning of Section 409A) by the 409A Award grantee; provided, however, that if
the 409A Award grantee is a "key employee" (as defined in Section 416(i) of the
Code without regard to paragraph (5) thereof) and any of the Company's Stock is
publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, exercise or
distribution under this Section 14(a)(ii) may not be made before the date that
is six months after the date of separation from service.

         (iii) DEATH. The date of death of the 409A Award grantee.

         (v) UNFORESEEABLE EMERGENCY. The occurrence of an unforeseeable
emergency (within the meaning of Section 14(c)(iii) hereof), but only if the net
value (after payment of the exercise price) of the number of shares of Stock
that become issuable does not exceed the amounts necessary to satisfy such
emergency plus amounts necessary to pay taxes reasonably anticipated as a result
of the exercise, after taking into account the extent to which the emergency is
or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or
otherwise or by liquidation of the grantee's other assets (to the extent such
liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship).

         (vi) CHANGE IN CONTROL EVENT. The occurrence of a Change in Control
Event (within the meaning of Section 14(c)(i) hereof), including the Company's
discretionary exercise of the right to accelerate vesting of such grant upon a
Change in Control Event or to terminate the Plan or any 409A Award granted
hereunder within 12 months of the Change in Control Event.

     (b) NO ACCELERATION. A 409A Award may not be accelerated or exercised prior
to the time specified in Section 14(a) hereof, except in the case of one of the
following events:

         (i) DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDER. The 409A Award may permit the
acceleration of the exercise or distribution time or schedule to an individual
other than the grantee as may be necessary to comply with the terms of a
domestic relations order (as defined in Section 414(p)(1)(B) of the Code).

         (ii) CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. The 409A Award may permit the acceleration
of the exercise or distribution time or schedule as may be necessary to comply
with the terms of a certificate of divestiture (as defined in Section 1043(b)(2)
of the Code).

         (iii) CHANGE IN CONTROL EVENT. The Committee may exercise the
discretionary right to accelerate the vesting of such 409A Award upon a Change
in Control Event or to

                                       15

<Page>

terminate the Plan or any 409A Award granted thereunder within 12 months of the
Change in Control Event and cancel the 409A Award for compensation.

     (c) DEFINITIONS. Solely for purposes of this Section 14 and not for other
purposes of the Plan, the following terms shall be defined as set forth below:

         (i) "Change in Control Event" means the occurrence of a change in the
ownership of the Company, a change in effective control of the Company, or a
change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company
(as defined in Section 1.409A-3(g) of the proposed regulations promulgated under
Section 409A by the Department of the Treasury on September 29, 2005 or any
subsequent guidance).

         (ii) "Disabled" means a grantee who (i) is unable to engage in any
substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or
mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to

of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected
to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not
less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not
less than three months under an accident and health plan covering employees of
the Company or its Subsidiaries.

         (iii) "Unforeseeable Emergency" means a severe financial hardship to
the grantee resulting from an illness or accident of the grantee, the grantee's
spouse, or a dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code) of the
grantee, loss of the grantee's property due to casualty, or similar
extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events
beyond the control of the grantee.

SECTION 15. TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC.

     For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a
termination of employment:

     (a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from
the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or

     (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for
any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee's right to
re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the
policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Committee
otherwise so provides in writing.

SECTION 16. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION

     The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Committee
may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of
satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action
shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder's
consent. Except as provided in Section 3(b) or 3(c), in no event may the
Committee exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of outstanding
Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or effect repricing through
cancellation and re-grants. Any material Plan amendments (other than amendments
that curtail the scope of the

                                       16

<Page>

Plan), including any Plan amendments that (i) increase the number of shares
reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) expand the type of awards available
under, materially expand the eligibility to participate in, or materially extend
the term of, the Plan, or (iii) materially change the method of determining Fair
Market Value, shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled
to vote at a meeting of stockholders. In addition, to the extent determined by
the Committee to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options
granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code or to ensure
that compensation earned under Awards qualifies as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject
to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders. Nothing in this Section 16 shall limit the Committee's authority
to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(c).

SECTION 17. STATUS OF PLAN

     With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and
any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a
grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the
Company unless the Committee shall otherwise expressly determine in connection
with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize
the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company's obligations
to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided
that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the
foregoing sentence.

SECTION 18. GENERAL PROVISIONS

     (a) NO DISTRIBUTION. The Committee may require each person acquiring Stock
pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that
such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof.

     (b) DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES. Stock certificates to grantees under
this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a
stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in
the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee's last known
address on file with the Company. Uncertificated Stock shall be deemed
delivered for all purposes when the Company or a Stock transfer agent of the
Company shall have given to the grantee by electronic mail (with proof of
receipt) or by United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee's
last known address on file with the Company, notice of issuance and recorded
the issuance in its records (which may include electronic "book entry"
records). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall
not be required to issue or deliver any certificates evidencing shares of
Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board has
determined, with advice of counsel (to the extent the Board deems such advice
necessary or advisable), that the issuance and delivery of such certificates
is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental
authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the
shares of Stock are listed, quoted or traded. All Stock certificates
delivered pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to any stop-transfer orders
and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to
comply with federal, state or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws,
rules and quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted or traded.
The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference
restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and

                                       17

<Page>

conditions provided herein, the Board may require that an individual make such
reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board, in its
discretion, deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with any such laws,
regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the right to require any
individual to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the
settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as
may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee.

     (c) STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Until Stock is deemed delivered in accordance with
Section 19(b), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights of a
stockholder will exist with respect to shares of Stock to be issued in
connection with an Award, notwithstanding the exercise of a Stock Option or any
other action by the grantee with respect to an Award.

     (d) OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS; NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. Nothing
contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this
Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to
continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.

     (e) TRADING POLICY RESTRICTIONS. Option exercises and other Awards under
the Plan shall be subject to such Company's insider trading policy and
procedures, as in effect from time to time.

     (f) FORFEITURE OF AWARDS UNDER SARBANES-OXLEY ACT. If the Company is
required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance
of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting
requirement under the securities laws, then any grantee who is one of the
individuals subject to automatic forfeiture under Section 304 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 shall reimburse the Company for the amount of any
Award received by such individual under the Plan during the 12-month period
following the first public issuance or filing with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, of the financial document embodying
such financial reporting requirement.

SECTION 19. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN

     This Plan shall become effective upon approval by the holders of a majority
of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present or
pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. No grants of Stock Options and
other Awards may be made hereunder after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
Effective Date and no grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made hereunder
after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date the Plan is approved by the
Board.

SECTION 20. GOVERNING LAW

     This Plan and all Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware,
applied without regard to conflict of law principles.
