     3. Stock Subject to the Plan. Subject to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan,
the shares of stock subject to Options or Restricted Stock awards shall be Common Stock. Subject
to the provisions of Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be
issued upon exercise of such Options or granted as Restricted Stock awards is 125,000;

3

 

provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Shares that may

foregoing, the maximum number of Shares that may be received upon exercise of Options is 80,000.
Shares issued upon exercise of Options or awarded as Restricted Stock may be authorized but
unissued, or reacquired Shares. If an Option expires or becomes unexercisable without having been

by the Holder or withheld by the Company upon the exercise of an Option or upon the grant, sale or
vesting of a Restricted Stock award under the Plan, in payment of the exercise price thereof or tax
withholding thereon, may again be optioned, granted or awarded hereunder, subject to the
limitations of this Section 3. If Shares of Restricted Stock are forfeited by the Holder to the
Company such Shares shall become available for future Restricted Stock awards under the Plan.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3, no Shares may again be optioned, granted or
awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an Incentive
Stock Option under Code Section 422.

     4. Administration of the Plan.

     (a) Administrator. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The
Committee shall have the power to delegate to a subcommittee any of the administrative
powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Committee
shall thereafter be to such subcommittee), subject, however, to such resolutions, not
inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the
Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, from and after the Public Trading Date, a
Committee of the Board shall administer the Plan and the Committee shall consist solely of
two or more Independent Directors each of whom is both an “outside director,” within the
meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, and a “non-employee director” within the meaning of
Rule 16b-3. Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may (i) delegate
to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Independent Directors the
authority to grant awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are either (A) not then
“covered employees,” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and are not expected
to be “covered employees” at the time of recognition of income resulting from such award or
(B) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the
Code and/or (ii) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not
“non-employee directors,” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, the authority to grant awards
under the Plan to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange
Act. The Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the
administration of the Plan. Appointment of Committee members shall be effective upon
acceptance of appointment. Committee members may resign at any time by delivering written
notice to the Board. Vacancies in the Committee may only be filled by the Board.

     (b) Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan
(including without limitation Section 4(c)) and the specific duties delegated by the Board
to the Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator
shall have the authority in its discretion to:

4

 

     (i) Select the Service Providers to whom Options may be granted and Restricted
Stock may be awarded from time to time hereunder;

     (ii) Determine the number of Shares to be covered by each such award granted
hereunder;

     (iii) Approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

     (iv) Determine the terms and conditions of any Option or Restricted Stock award
granted hereunder (such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the
exercise price, the time or times when Options or Restricted Stock may vest or be
exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or
waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any
Option or Restricted Stock award or the Common Stock relating thereto, based in each
case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine);

     (v) Prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan,
including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of
qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws;

     (vi) Following the Public Trading Date, allow Holders to satisfy withholding
tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be
issued upon exercise of an Option or upon the grant, sale or vesting of any
Restricted Stock award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the
minimum amount required to be withheld based on the statutory withholding rates for
federal and state tax purposes that apply to supplemental taxable income. The Fair
Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the
amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by Holders to have
Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such
conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable; and

     (vii) Construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted pursuant
to the Plan and to exercise such powers and perform such acts as the Administrator
deems necessary or desirable to promote the best interests of the Company which are
not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan.

     (c) Notwithstanding Section 4(b) 80,000 Shares shall be reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of Options granted to Service Providers, as follows:

     (i) Options to purchase 40,000 Shares shall be granted pursuant to the Plan
with an exercise price equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share as of the
date of grant and shall be subject to performance-based vesting (the
“Performance % Options”). As of the Effective Date (A) Options to purchase
not less than 90% of the Shares subject to the Performance Options shall be granted
to those certain individuals named on Exhibit A hereto; and (B) Options to
purchase the remaining 10% of the Shares subject to the Performance Options shall be

5

 

granted other Service Providers designated by the Committee. The terms and
conditions of each such Option shall be set forth in a written Incentive Stock
Option Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Holder in
substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1.

     (ii) Options to purchase 40,000 Shares shall be granted pursuant to the Plan
with an exercise price equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share as of the
date of grant and shall be subject to service-based vesting (the “Service
Options”). As of the Effective Date (A) Options to purchase not less than 90%
of the Shares subject to the Service Options shall be granted to those individual
executives named on Exhibit B hereto; and (B) Options to purchase the
remaining 10% of the Shares subject to the Service Options shall be granted other
Service Providers designated by the Committee. The terms and conditions of each
such Option shall be set forth in a written Incentive Stock Option Agreement entered
into by and between the Company and the Holder in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit B-1.

     (d) Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and
interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Holders.

     5. Eligibility. Non-Qualified Stock Options and Restricted Stock awards may be
granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. If
otherwise eligible, an Employee or Director who has been granted an Option or Restricted Stock
awards may be granted additional Options or Restricted Stock.

     6. Limitations.

     (a) Each Option shall be designated by the Administrator in the Option Agreement as
either an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option. However, notwithstanding
such designations, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares subject to a
Holder’s Incentive Stock Options and other incentive stock options granted by the Company,
any Parent or Subsidiary, which become exercisable for the first time during any calendar
year (under all plans of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such
excess Options or other options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. For
purposes of this Section 6(a), 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 time of grant.

     (b) Neither the Plan, any Option nor any Restricted Stock shall confer upon a Holder
any right with respect to continuing the Holder’s employment with the Company, nor shall
they interfere in any way with the Holder’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such
employment relationship at any time, with or without cause.

     (c) No Service Provider shall be granted, in any calendar year, Options or Restricted
Stock to purchase more than 50,000 Shares; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation
shall not apply prior to the Public Trading Date and, following the Public Trading Date, the
foregoing limitation shall not apply until the earliest of: (i) the

6

 

first material modification of the Plan (including any increase in the number of shares
reserved for issuance under the Plan in accordance with Section 3); (ii) the issuance of all
of the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan; (iii) the expiration of
the Plan; (iv) the first meeting of stockholders at which Directors of the Company are to be
elected that occurs after the close of the third calendar year following the calendar year
in which occurred the first registration of an equity security of the Company under Section
12 of the Exchange Act; or (v) such other date required by Section 162(m) of the Code and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The foregoing limitation shall be
adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as
described in Section 13. For purposes of this Section 6(c), if an Option is canceled in the
same calendar year it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in
Section 13), the canceled Option will be counted against the limit set forth in this Section
6(c). For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction
shall be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option.

     7. Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective upon the Effective Date and shall
continue in effect until it is terminated under Section 15 of the Plan. No Options or Restricted
Stock may be issued under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

     8. Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the Option Agreement;
provided, however, that the term shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant
thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Holder who, at the time the Option
is granted, owns (or is treated as owning under Code Section 424) 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 or such shorter
term as may be provided in the Option Agreement.

     9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

     (a) The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option
shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that in the
case of an Incentive Stock Option (i) granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of
such Option, owns (or is treated as owning under Code Section 424) 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 one hundred ten
percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant, and (ii) granted to
any other Employee, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Options may be granted in substitution of outstanding options with a per Share
exercise price other than as required above pursuant to a merger or other corporate
transaction.

     (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 the Administrator (and, in
the case of an Incentive Stock Option, shall be determined at the time of grant). Such
consideration may consist of (i) cash; (ii) check; (iii) with the consent of the

7

 

Administrator (and at such time or times as the Administrator may prescribe), other
Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired from the Company, have been owned by the
Holder for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market
Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to
which such Option shall be exercised; (iv) after the Public Trading Date and with the
consent of the Administrator (A) surrendered Shares then issuable upon exercise of the
Option having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise equal to the aggregate exercise
price of the Option or exercised portion thereof, or (B) delivery of a notice that the
Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable
upon exercise of the Options and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient
portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Option
exercise price, provided, that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon
settlement of such sale; or (v) with the consent of the Administrator, any combination of
the foregoing methods of payment.

     10. Exercise of Option.

     (a) Vesting; Fractional Exercises. Options granted hereunder shall be vested
and exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as
determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. An Option may not be
exercised for a fraction of a Share.

     (b) Deliveries upon Exercise. All or a portion of an exercisable Option shall
be deemed exercised upon delivery of all of the following to the Secretary of the Company or
his or her office:

     (i) A written or electronic notice complying with the applicable rules
established by the Administrator stating that the Option, or a portion thereof, is
exercised. The notice shall be signed by the Holder or other person then entitled
to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option;

     (ii) Such representations and documents as the Administrator, in its absolute
discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with Applicable Laws.
The Administrator may, in its absolute discretion, also take whatever additional
actions it deems appropriate to effect such compliance, including, without
limitation, placing legends on share certificates and issuing stop transfer notices
to agents and registrars;

     (iii) Upon the exercise of all or a portion of an unvested Option pursuant to
Section 10(h), a Restricted Stock purchase agreement in a form determined by the
Administrator and signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the
Option or such portion of the Option; and

     (iv) In the event that the Option shall be exercised pursuant to Section 10(f)
by any person or persons other than the Holder, appropriate proof of the right of
such person or persons to exercise the Option.

8

 

     (c) Conditions to Delivery of Share Certificates. The Company shall not be
required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares purchased upon the
exercise of any Option or portion thereof prior to fulfillment of all of the following
conditions:

     (i) The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges on which
such class of stock is then listed;

     (ii) The completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares
under any state or federal law, or under the rulings or regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body which
the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

     (iii) The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or
federal governmental agency which the Administrator shall, in its absolute
discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

     (iv) The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the
Option as the Administrator may establish from time to time for reasons of
administrative convenience; and

     (v) The receipt by the Company of full payment for such Shares, including
payment of any applicable withholding tax, which in the discretion of the
Administrator may be in the form of consideration used by the Holder to pay for such
Shares under Section 9(b).

     (d) Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Holder ceases to
be a Service Provider other than by reason of the Holder’s disability or death, such Holder
may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option
Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no
event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option
Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall
remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Holder’s termination. If, on the date
of termination, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered
by the unvested portion of the Option immediately cease to be issuable under the Option and
shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If, after termination, the Holder
does not exercise his or her Option within the time period specified herein, the Option
shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall again become available for
issuance under the Plan.

     (e) Disability of Holder. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider as a
result of the Holder’s disability, the Holder may exercise his or her Option within such
period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on
the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such
Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the
Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following

9

 

the Holder’s termination. If such disability is not a “disability” as such term is
defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option such
Incentive Stock Option shall automatically cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option
and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Non-Qualified Stock Option from and after the day
which is three (3) months and one (1) day following such termination. If, on the date of
termination, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by
the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately cease to be issuable under the Option
and shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. If, after termination, the
Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option
shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall again become available for
issuance under the Plan.

     (f) Death of Holder. If a Holder dies while a Service Provider, the Option may
be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (but in no
event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of
Grant), by the Holder’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option
by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of
death. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Holder’s termination. If, at the time of
death, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the
unvested portion of the Option shall immediately cease to be issuable under the Option and
shall again become available for issuance under the Plan. The Option may be exercised by
the executor or administrator of the Holder’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled
to exercise the Option under the Holder’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If
the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate,
and the Shares covered by such Option shall again become available for issuance under the
Plan.

     (g) Regulatory Extension. A Holder’s Option Agreement may provide that if the
exercise of the Option following the termination of the Holder’s status as a Service
Provider (other than upon the Holder’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time
solely because the issuance of shares would violate the registration requirements under the
Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the
term of the Option set forth in Section 8 or (ii) the expiration of a period of three (3)
months after the termination of the Holder’s status as a Service Provider during which the
exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements.

     (h) Early Exercisability. The Administrator may provide in the terms of a
Holder’s Option Agreement that the Holder may, at any time before the Holder’s status as a
Service Provider terminates, exercise the Option in whole or in part prior to the full
vesting of the Option; provided, however, that subject to Section 20, Shares acquired upon
exercise of an Option which has not fully vested may be subject to any forfeiture, transfer
or other restrictions as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion.

     11. Transferability.

10

 

     (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 11(b):

     (i) No Option awarded under the Plan may be sold, pledged, assigned or
transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution, unless and until such Option has been exercised, or the shares
underlying such Option have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such
shares have lapsed;

     (ii) Except as otherwise provided in that applicable Restricted Stock purchase
agreement, no shares of Restricted Stock may be sold, pledged, assigned or
transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution
unless and until and all restrictions applicable to such shares of Restricted Stock
(under the Restricted Stock purchase agreement or any other written stockholders or
similar agreement) have lapsed;

     (iii) No Option or Restricted Stock award or interest or right therein shall be
liable for the debts, contracts or engagements of the Holder or his successors in
interest or shall be subject to disposition by transfer, alienation, anticipation,
pledge, encumbrance, assignment or any other means whether such disposition be
voluntary or involuntary or by operation of law by judgment, levy, attachment,
garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and
any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to
the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence; and

     (iv) During the lifetime of the Holder, only he may exercise an Option (or any
portion thereof) granted to him under the Plan; after the death of the Holder, any
exercisable portion of an Option may, prior to the time when such portion becomes
unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Option Agreement, be exercised by his
personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased
Holder’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

     (b) Notwithstanding Section 11(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may
determine to permit a Holder to transfer a Non-Qualified Stock Option to any one or more
Permitted Transferees (as defined below), subject to the following terms and conditions: (i)
a Non-Qualified Stock Option transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable
or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than by will or the laws of descent and
distribution; (ii) any Non-Qualified Stock Option which is transferred to a Permitted
Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Non-Qualified
Stock Option as applicable to the original Holder, other than the ability to further
transfer the Non-Qualified Stock Option (including any requirement that the Holder execute a
stockholders or similar agreement as a condition to exercising the Non-Qualified Stock
Option); and (iii) the Holder and the Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all
documents requested by the Administrator, including, without limitation, documents to (A)
confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements
for an exemption for the transfer under applicable federal and

11

 

state securities laws and (C) evidence the transfer. For purposes of this Section
11(b), “Permitted Transferee” shall mean, with respect to a Holder, any child,

     12. Restricted Stock Awards.

     (a) Subject to Section 12(e), Restricted Stock awards may be issued either alone, in
addition to, or in tandem with Options granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made
outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Restricted Stock
awards under the Plan, it shall, subject to Section 12(e), advise the offeree in writing of
the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares
that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price, if any, to be paid, and the time
within which such person must accept such offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution
of a Restricted Stock purchase agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.

     (b) Subject to Section 12(e), the purchase price, if any, for Shares repurchased by the
Company pursuant to such repurchase right and the rate at with such repurchase right or
forfeiture condition shall lapse shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole
discretion, and shall be set forth in the Restricted Stock purchase agreement.

     (c) Subject to Section 12(e), the Restricted Stock purchase agreement shall contain
such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be
determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

     (d) Except as may otherwise be provided in the Restricted Stock purchase agreement
(which prior to a Public Trading Date shall include, without limitation, restrictions on the
receipt of dividends and voting rights), once shares of Restricted Stock have been awarded
to a Holder, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those of a shareholder and shall
be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right
for which the record date is prior to the date the Restricted Stock is awarded, except as
provided in Section 13 of the Plan.

     (e) As of the Effective Date, all Shares reserved for awards of Restricted Stock shall
be awarded pursuant to the Plan to those individuals set forth on Exhibit C hereto.
The terms and conditions of each such Restricted Stock award shall be set forth in a written

     13. Adjustments upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale.

     (a) In the event that the Board determines that any dividend or other distribution
(whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property),
recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization,
merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation,
dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company,
issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the
Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event (including without limitation any
Change in Control), in the Board’s sole discretion, affects the Common Stock such that an
adjustment is determined by the Board to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the
Plan or with respect to any Option, Restricted Stock award, then the Board shall, in such
manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of:

     (i) The number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or
property) with respect to which Options or Restricted Stock awards may be granted or
awarded (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3
on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued and adjustments of the
maximum number of Shares that may be purchased by any Holder in any calendar year
pursuant to Section 6(c));

     (ii) The number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or
property) subject to outstanding Options or Restricted Stock awards; and

     (iii) The grant or exercise price with respect to any Option or Restricted
Stock.

     (b) In the event of any transaction or event described in Section 13(a), the Board, in
its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate,
either by the terms of the Option or Restricted Stock award or by action taken prior to the
occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Holder’s
request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the
Board determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement
of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with
respect to any Option or Restricted Stock award granted or issued under the Plan or to
facilitate such transaction or event:

     (i) To provide for either the purchase of any such Option or Restricted Stock
award for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon
the exercise of such Option or realization of the Holder’s rights had such Option or
Restricted Stock award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested or the
replacement of such Option or Restricted Stock award with other rights or property
selected by the Board in its sole discretion;

13

 

     (ii) To provide that such Option shall be exercisable as to all shares covered
thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of
such Option award;

     (iii) To provide that such Option or Restricted Stock award be assumed by the
successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be
substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the
successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with
appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

     (iv) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or
other securities or property) subject to outstanding Options and Restricted Stock
awards, and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise
price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Options or Restricted Stock awards
which may be granted in the future; and

     (v) To provide that immediately upon the consummation of such event, such
Option or Restricted Stock award shall not be exercisable and shall terminate;
provided, that for a specified period of time prior to such event, such Option or
Restricted Stock award shall be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, and
the restrictions imposed under an Option Agreement or Restricted Stock purchase
agreement upon some or all Shares may be terminated and, in the case of Restricted
Stock, some or all shares of such Restricted Stock may cease to be subject to
repurchase, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions
of such Option or Restricted Stock purchase agreement.

     (c) Subject to Section 3, the Board may, in its discretion, include such further
provisions and limitations in any Option or Restricted Stock agreement or certificate, as it
may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company.

     (d) The existence of the Plan, any Option Agreement or Restricted Stock purchase
agreement and the Options or Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict
in any way the right or power of the Company or the stockholders of the Company to make or
authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s
capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of
stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred
or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Common Stock or the
rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, or the
dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its
assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character
or otherwise.

     14. Time of Granting Options and Restricted Stock Awards. The date of grant of an
Option or Restricted Stock awards shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator
makes the determination granting such Option or Restricted Stock award, or such other date as is
determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Employee

14

 

to whom an Option or Restricted Stock award is so granted within a reasonable time after the
date of such grant.

     15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

     (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time wholly or partially
amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. However, without approval of the Company’s
stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after the action by the Board, no
action of the Board may, except as provided in Section 13, increase the limits imposed in
Section 3 on the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or extend the
term of the Plan under Section 7.

     (b) Stockholder Approval. The Board shall obtain stockholder approval of any
Plan amendment (i) to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws and
(ii) except with respect to amendments required by changes in Applicable Laws, in all events
prior to the Public Trading Date.

     (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension
or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Holder, unless mutually agreed
otherwise between the Holder and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and
signed by the Holder and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the
Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to
Options or Restricted Stock awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such
termination.

     16. Stockholder Approval. The Plan will be submitted for the approval of the
Company’s stockholders within twelve (12) months after the Effective Date. Options or Restricted
Stock awards may be granted or awarded prior to such stockholder approval, provided that such
Options or Restricted Stock awards shall not be exercisable, shall not vest and the restrictions
thereon shall not lapse prior to the time when the Plan is approved by the stockholders.

     17. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority
from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to
be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of
any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained.

     18. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all
times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements of the Plan.

     19. Information to Holders and Purchasers. To the extent required by any Applicable
Laws, the Company shall provide to each Holder and to each individual who acquires Shares pursuant
to the Plan, not less frequently than annually during the period such Holder or purchaser has one
or more Options or Restricted Stock awards outstanding, and, in the case of an individual who
acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such individual owns such Shares, copies of
annual financial statements. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company

15

 

shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees whose duties in connection
with the Company assure their access to equivalent information.

     20. Repurchase Provisions. The Administrator in its discretion may provide that the
Company may repurchase Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option or pursuant to a Restricted Stock
award upon a Holder’s termination as a Service Provider; provided, that any such repurchase right
shall be set forth in the applicable Option Agreement or Restricted Stock purchase agreement or in
another agreement referred to in such agreement.

     21. Investment Intent. The Company may require a Plan participant, as a condition of
exercising or acquiring stock under any Option or Restricted Stock award, (i) to give written
assurances satisfactory to the Company as to the participant’s knowledge and experience in
financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory
to the Company who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that he
or she is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits
and risks of exercising the Option or purchasing Restricted Stock; and (ii) to give written
assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that the participant is acquiring the stock subject
to the Option or Restricted Stock award for the participant’s own account and not with any present
intention of selling or otherwise distributing the stock. The foregoing requirements, and any
assurances given pursuant to such requirements, shall be inoperative if (A) the issuance of the
shares upon the exercise or acquisition of stock under the applicable Option or Restricted Stock
award has been registered under a then currently effective registration statement under the
Securities Act or (B) as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the
Company that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable
securities laws. The Company may, upon advice of counsel to the Company, place legends on stock
certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to
comply with applicable securities laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the
transfer of the stock.

     22. Governing Law. The validity and enforceability of this Plan shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to otherwise
governing principles of conflicts of law.

     23. Stockholders Agreement. As a condition precedent to the award of any Option or
Restricted Stock award under the Plan, or the exercise or delivery of certificates for Shares
issued pursuant thereto, the Administrator may require any Holder (or the Holder’s successor, as
applicable) to enter into or become a party to a Stockholders Agreement, Subscription Agreement or
a Voting Trust Agreement in such form(s) as the Administrator may determine from time to time (the
“Stockholders Agreement”).

EXHIBIT 10.8

CPM HOLDINGS, INC. 2004 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

          THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), made as of [___________], between
CPM Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and [___________]
(“Participant”).

WITNESSETH:

          WHEREAS, Participant is a senior management employee of the Company;

          WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the CPM Holdings, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the
“Plan”) in order to provide its employees and directors with incentives to achieve
long-term corporate objectives; and

          WHEREAS, the Company’s Board of Directors has awarded shares of Restricted Stock under the
Plan to the Participant on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending
to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1. Definitions. Whenever the following terms are used in this Agreement, they shall
have the meaning specified below unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary. Capitalized
terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

          (a) “Cause” shall be as defined in the Participant’s employment agreement with the
Company, if applicable, and to the extent such employment agreement does not exist, then it shall
mean the Participant’s (i) willful breach or willful neglect of his duties and responsibilities,
(ii) criminal conviction occurring during the term of his employment, (iii) acts of fraud,
dishonesty, misappropriation, embezzlement or moral turpitude, (iv) violation of any material
federal, state, local, municipal, foreign, international, multinational, or other administrative
order, constitution, law, ordinance, principle of common law, regulation, statute, or treaty, (v)
breach of his duty of loyalty or fiduciary duties, or (vii) willful failure to comply with the
Company’s or its applicable Subsidiary’s reasonable orders or directives or the Company’s or its
applicable Subsidiary’s reasonable rules, regulations, policies, procedures or practices.

          (b) “Good Reason” shall be as defined in the Participant’s employment agreement with
the Company, if applicable, and to the extent such employment agreement does not exist, then it
shall mean (i) a material reduction in the Participant’s duties or responsibilities with the
Company, (ii) any reduction in the Participant’s salary, (iii) any reduction in the Participant’s
targeted incentive bonuses from the Company or (iv) relocation of the Participant’s primary
workplace to a location that is greater than 150 miles from the Participant’s current workplace, in
each case which is not cured within 30 days following the Company’s receipt of

 

 

written notice from the Participant describing the event constituting Good Reason.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, subparagraph (iii), above, shall not be violated solely because the
Company, in good faith, provides for the payment of the Participant’s targeted incentive bonus upon
the attainment of reasonable pre-established Company financial performance goals as determined in
the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company.

          (c) “Stockholder Equity Return Event” means any transaction or series of transactions
which result in the Company’s stockholders as of the date hereof selling at least 50% of the Common
Stock (as defined in Section 2) held by the Company’s stockholders as of the date hereof at a price
per share equal to not less than $80.00. The determination of whether a particular
transaction or transactions constitutes a Stockholder Equity Return Event shall be made in good
faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

          2. Grant of Restricted Stock. For good and valuable consideration which the Company
has determined to exceed the par value of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common
Stock”), the Company hereby issues to Participant a total of [__________] shares of Common
Stock (the “Restricted Stock”), subject to the transfer restrictions and other conditions
set forth in this Agreement. The Company shall cause the Restricted Stock to be issued and a stock
certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock to be registered in the name of
Participant promptly upon execution of this Agreement, but the stock certificate or certificates
shall be delivered to, and held in custody by, the Company until the applicable restrictions lapse
at the times specified in Section 4 below. On or before the date of execution of this Agreement,
Participant shall deliver to the Company one or more stock powers endorsed in blank relating to the
Restricted Stock, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted
Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall
not become vested in accordance with this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any change in
capitalization or other event described in Section 13 of the Plan, the number of shares of
Restricted Stock set forth in this Section 2 shall be equitably adjusted in accordance with Section
13 of the Plan to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits associated
with this Restricted Stock award.

          3. Restrictions.

          (a) Participant shall have all rights and privileges of a Stockholder of the Company with
respect to the Restricted Stock, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends paid
with respect to such shares, except that the following restrictions shall apply, until such time or
times as restrictions lapse under Section 4 of this Agreement:

               (i) Participant shall not be entitled to delivery of the certificate or certificates for any
of the Restricted Stock until the restrictions imposed by this Agreement have lapsed with respect
to those Restricted Stock, at the times defined in Section 4;

               (ii) The Company will retain custody of all distributions (“Retained Distributions”)
made or declared with respect to the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions will be
subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Stock)
until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such

2

 

Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested, and
such Retained Distributions shall not bear interest or be segregated in separate accounts;

               (iii) The Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of by Participant before these restrictions have lapsed pursuant to Section
4, except with the consent of the Company;

               (iv) The Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions shall be subject to forfeiture upon
termination of Participant’s employment with the Company to the extent set forth in Section 7 below
and upon the breach of any restrictions, terms or conditions of this Agreement; and

               (v) Participant shall, and hereby does, grant to the Secretary of the Company (the
“Secretary”) Participant’s proxy (the “Proxy”), and shall appoint the Secretary as
Participant’s attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), to vote or act by written consent
with respect to the Restricted Stock in connection with any and all matters, as to which any vote
or actions may be requested or required. The Proxy shall be irrevocable and Participant shall take
such further action or execute such other instruments as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate
the intent of the Proxy and, effective as of the date hereof, Participant shall revoke any proxy
previously granted by him with respect to his Restricted Stock. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 3(a)(v) to the contrary, as of the Public Trading Date the Proxy will terminate and be of
no further force and effect.

          Once any portion of Participant’s Restricted Stock award has become vested under Section 4,
the newly vested shares shall no longer be subject to the preceding restrictions, and shall no
longer be considered to be Restricted Stock.

          (b) Any attempt to dispose of Restricted Stock in a manner contrary to the restrictions set
forth in this Agreement shall be ineffective.

          4. When Restrictions Lapse. Subject to Section 7, as of the date of the first
Stockholder Equity Return Event following the date hereof, the Restricted Stock shall vest and the
restrictions set forth in this Agreement shall lapse with respect to the following percentage of
the Participant’s shares of Restricted Stock determined by the multiple that the amount realized
per share in such Stockholder Equity Return Event represents of $[_____] (the “Initial Value
Per Share”) (with linear interpolation for values between 1.75 times Initial Value Per Share
and 3.0 times Initial Value Per Share):

	 	 	 	 	 
	Stockholder Equity Return	 	 
	Event Value Per Share	 	Percentage Vested
	At least 1.75 times the Initial Value Per Share
	 	 	50	%
	 
	 	 	 	 
	At least 3.00 times the Initial
Value Per Share
	 	 	100	%

3

 

          Upon the occurrence of any change in capitalization or other event described in Section 13 of
the Plan, each of the values per share of Common Stock set forth in this Section 4 and in the
definition of Stockholder Equity Return Event shall be equitably adjusted in accordance with
Section 13 of the Plan to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits
associated with this Restricted Stock award. All shares of Restricted Stock not vested upon the
first Stockholder Equity Return Event to occur following the date hereof pursuant to the above
table shall be forfeited immediately without any further action by the Company and the Participant
shall have no further rights or interests in such shares.

          5. Issuance of Stock Certificates for Shares. The stock certificate or certificates
representing the Restricted Stock shall be issued promptly following the execution of this
Agreement, and shall be delivered to the Secretary or such other custodian as may be designated by
the Company, to be held until the restrictions have lapsed under Section 4. Such stock certificate
or certificates shall bear the following legend:

THE TRANSFERABILITY OF THIS CERTIFICATE AND THE SHARES OF STOCK
REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(INCLUDING FORFEITURE) OF A RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT ENTERED INTO
BETWEEN THE REGISTERED OWNER AND CPM HOLDINGS, INC. A COPY OF SUCH
AGREEMENT IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICES OF, AND WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE
FOR A PROPER PURPOSE BY, THE CORPORATE SECRETARY OF CPM HOLDINGS,
INC.

Once the restrictions imposed by this Agreement have lapsed with respect to all or any portion of
the Restricted Stock, upon the written request of Participant, a stock certificate or certificates
for such portion of the Restricted Stock shall be returned and exchanged for new stock certificates
without the foregoing legend for the newly vested portion of the Restricted Stock. Upon the
written request of Participant, the certificates representing the newly vested shares shall be
delivered to Participant (or to the person to whom the rights of Participant shall have passed by
will or the laws of descent and distribution) promptly after the date on which the restrictions
imposed on such shares by this Agreement have lapsed but not before Participant has made any tax
payment to the Company or made other arrangements for tax withholding, as required by Section 6.
Once the restrictions imposed by this Agreement have lapsed with respect to all of the Restricted
Stock, all certificates held by the Company representing the vested shares shall be delivered
promptly to Participant (or to the person to whom the rights of Participant shall have passed by
will or the laws of descent and distribution), provided that Participant has made any tax payment
to the Company or made other arrangements for tax withholding, as required by Section 6.

          6. Tax Withholding. Whenever the restrictions on Participant’s rights to some or all
of the Restricted Stock lapse under Section 4 of this Agreement, the Company shall notify
Participant of the amount of tax which must be withheld by the Company under all applicable
federal, state and local tax laws. Participant agrees to make arrangements with the Company to (a)
remit a cash payment of the required amount to the Company or (b) to authorize the deduction of
such amounts from Participant’s compensation.

4

 

          7. Forfeiture On Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding Section 4:

          (a) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7(b), if the Participant’s employment with the
Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason, either by the Company or Participant, during
the term of this Agreement, any Restricted Stock remaining subject to the restrictions imposed by
this Agreement shall be forfeited immediately and without any further action by the Company.

          (b) Notwithstanding Section 7(a), if, at any time during the period beginning 90 days prior to
the date of the Company’s execution of definitive documents evidencing one or more transactions,
the consummation of which would result in a Stockholder Equity Return Event, the Participant’s
employment with the Company is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause; (ii) by the Participant
for Good Reason; (iii) by reason of the Participant’s death or (iv) due to Participant’s inability
to engage in the activities required by the Participant’s job by reason of any medically determined
physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which can be expected to
last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, then, as of the date of such consummation
transaction(s), the Restricted Stock shall vest and the restrictions set forth in this Agreement
shall lapse with respect to that percentage of the Participant’s shares of Restricted Stock that
would have become vested pursuant to Section 4 had the Participant remained continuously employed
with the Company through the date of the consummation of such transaction(s).

          8. Securities Laws. The Company may from time to time impose any conditions on the
transfer of the Restricted Stock as it deems necessary or advisable to ensure that any transfers of
the Restricted Stock granted hereunder will satisfy the applicable requirements of federal and
state securities laws. Such conditions to satisfy applicable federal and state securities laws may
include, without limitation, the partial or complete suspension of the right to transfer the
Restricted Stock until the Restricted Stock have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933
or the printing of legends on stock certificates. Participant hereby represents, warrants and
agrees as follows, and acknowledges that the Company is relying on the same in issuing the
Restricted Stock:

          (a) No Representations. Participant is entering into this Agreement solely on the
basis of his own familiarity with the Company and all relevant factors about the Company’s affairs,
and the Company has made no express or implied representations, covenants or warranties to
Participant with respect to such matters.

          (b) Counsel. Participant has read this Agreement and has been advised or has had the
opportunity to be advised by his own legal counsel as to the consequences of entering into this
Agreement.

          (c) Access. Participant has had access to all documents, records and books pertaining
to the Company or in any way relevant to the purchase of the Restricted Stock and has the
opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company and its officers and
directors concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5

 

          (d) Sophistication. Participant has knowledge and experience in financial and
business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the
Restricted Stock and has not utilized any other person to be his personal representative in
connection with evaluating such merits and risks.

          (e) Investment Intent. Participant is acquiring the Restricted Stock for his own
account with investment intent and not with a view to the resale or distribution of all or any part
of such shares.

          (f) Restrictions. Participant agrees that the Company may impose additional
restrictions on the sale, pledge or other transfer of the Restricted Stock if, in the sole
discretion of the Company and its counsel, such restrictions are necessary and desirable in order
to achieve compliance with the provisions of federal or state securities laws.

          9. No Effect on Employment. Neither this Agreement nor the Restricted Stock granted
hereunder shall confer upon Participant any right to continued employment with the Company or any
Subsidiary, and shall not in any way modify or restrict the Company’s or such Subsidiary’s right to
terminate such employment.

          10. Transfer Restrictions.

          (a) Transfer Restrictions; Stockholders Agreement. Except as otherwise set forth in
Section 10(b), shares of Restricted Stock held by the Participant that have not become vested
pursuant to Section 4 may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or otherwise
disposed of (each, a “Transfer”), without the prior written consent of the Board. On or
prior to the date the shares of Restricted Stock held by the Participant that have become vested
pursuant to Section 4, the Participant shall become a party to a Subscription Agreement and/or a
Stockholders Agreement as may be required by the Company (such agreement or agreements, together,
the “Stockholders Agreement”). Shares of Restricted Stock that become vested pursuant to
Section 4 may thereafter be Transferred only to the extent permitted by the terms of (x) the
Stockholders Agreement or (y) Section 10(b) of this Agreement.

this Section 10 notwithstanding, the Transfer of any or all of the shares of Restricted Stock
during the Participant’s lifetime or on the Participant’s death by will or intestacy to any
Permitted Transferee shall be exempt from the Transfer restrictions set forth in Section 10(a). As
used herein, “Permitted Transferee” shall mean, with respect to the Participant, any 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 Participant’s household
(other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons (or the Participant) control the
management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Participant) own more
than fifty percent of the voting interests, or any other transferee specifically approved by the
Administrator (as defined in the Plan) after taking into account any state or federal tax or
securities laws applicable to such shares. In such case, the transferee or other recipient shall
receive and hold the shares of Restricted Stock so Transferred subject to the provisions of this
Section (including any requirement to enter into the Stockholders Agreement) and the Restricted
Stock Agreement,

6

 

as applicable, and there shall be no further Transfer of such shares except in accordance with
