Exhibit 10.1

INTERVOICE, INC.

2007 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

ARTICLE I. ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE

     Section 1.1 Establishment. Intervoice, Inc. (“Intervoice”) hereby establishes the
Intervoice, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as set forth in this document, as an amendment and
restatement of the Intervoice, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. The Intervoice, Inc. 2005 Stock
Incentive Plan was established effective July 13, 2005, as an amendment and restatement of the
Intervoice, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan, the Intervoice-Brite, Inc. 1999 Stock Option Plan and the
Intervoice, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan. Awards granted pursuant to the Intervoice, Inc. 2005
Stock Incentive Plan, the Intervoice, Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan, the Intervoice-Brite, Inc. 1999
Stock Option Plan or the Intervoice, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan shall continue to be governed by
the terms of such plan as in effect at the time of the award and the related award agreement.

     Section 1.2 Purpose. The purposes of the Plan are to attract and retain highly
qualified individuals to perform services for Intervoice and to align the interests of those
individuals with those of the stockholders of Intervoice. Intervoice is committed to creating
long-term stockholder value. Intervoice’s compensation philosophy is based on a belief that
Intervoice can best create stockholder value if employees, directors and certain others providing
services to Intervoice and its Affiliates act and are rewarded as business owners. Intervoice
believes that an equity stake through equity compensation programs effectively aligns service
provider and stockholder interests by motivating and rewarding long-term performance that will
enhance stockholder value.

     Section 1.3
Effectiveness and Term. The Plan shall
become effective on July 11, 2007, provided it is approved by
the stockholders of Intervoice in a manner that complies with
applicable law within 12 months after such date; provided,
however, that no Awards shall be made under this Plan  unless and
until it is approved by the stockholders of Intervoice within such
12-month period. Unless terminated earlier by the Board, this Plan
shall terminate on July 11, 2012.

Committee shall have the right to substitute or assume awards in connection with mergers,
reorganizations, separations or other transactions to which Section 424(a) of the Code
applies, provided such substitutions or assumptions are permitted by Section 424 of the Code

5

 

     Section 4.2 Adjustments for Recapitalizations and Reorganizations.

     (a) The shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan are shares of
Common Stock as presently constituted, but if, and whenever, prior to the expiration or
satisfaction of an Award theretofore granted, Intervoice shall effect a split, subdivision
or consolidation of shares of Common Stock or the payment of a stock dividend on Common
Stock in the form of Common Stock without receipt of consideration by Intervoice, the number
of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Award may thereafter be exercised or
satisfied, as applicable, (i) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares, shall be proportionately increased, and, if applicable, the exercise price per share
shall be proportionately reduced, and (ii) in the event of a reduction in the number of
outstanding shares, shall be proportionately reduced, and, if applicable, the exercise price
per share shall be proportionately increased.

     (b) If Intervoice recapitalizes or otherwise changes its capital structure, thereafter
upon any exercise or satisfaction, as applicable, of an Award theretofore granted the
Participant shall be entitled to receive (or to purchase, if applicable) under such Award,
in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock then covered by such Award, the number and
class of shares of stock or other securities to which the Participant would have been
entitled pursuant to the terms of the recapitalization if, immediately prior to the
recapitalization, the Participant had been the holder of record of the number of shares of
Common Stock then covered by such Award.

     (c) In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of a
reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination, separation (including a spin-off or
other distribution of stock or property), exchange, or other relevant change in
capitalization occurring after the date of grant of any Award and not otherwise provided for
by this Section 4.2, any outstanding Awards and any Award Agreements evidencing such Awards
shall be subject to (i) adjustment by the Committee in its sole discretion as to the number,
price and kind of shares or other consideration subject to, and other terms of, such Awards
to reflect such changes in the outstanding Common Stock, or (ii) in the case of a Corporate
Change, if approved by the Committee in its sole discretion, replacement with a comparable
Award pursuant to Article XIII.

     (d) In the event of any changes in the outstanding Common Stock provided for in this
Section 4.2, the aggregate number of shares available for grant of Awards under the Plan may
be equitably adjusted by the Committee, whose determination shall be conclusive.

     Section 4.3 Adjustments for Awards. The Committee shall have sole discretion to
determine the manner in which shares of Common Stock available for grant of Awards under the Plan
are counted. Without limiting the discretion of the Committee under this Section, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, the following rules shall apply for the purpose of determining the
number of shares of Common Stock available for grant of Awards under the Plan:

     (a) Options, Restricted Stock and Stock Awards. The grant of Options,
Restricted Stock and Stock Awards shall reduce the number of shares of Common Stock
available for grant of Awards under the Plan by the number of shares of Common Stock subject
to such an Award.

     (b) SARs. The grant of SARs that may be paid or settled (i) only in Common
Stock or (ii) in either cash or Common Stock shall reduce the number of shares available for
grant of Awards under the Plan by the number of shares subject to such an Award; provided,
however, that upon the exercise of SARs, the excess of the number of shares of Common Stock
with respect to which the Award is exercised over the number of shares of Common Stock
issued upon exercise of the Award shall again be available for grant of Awards under the
Plan. The grant of SARs that may be paid or settled only for cash shall not affect the
number of shares available for grant of Awards under the Plan.

     (c) Restricted Stock Units. The grant of Restricted Stock Units (including
those credited to a Participant in respect of a Dividend Unit Right) that may be paid or
settled (i) only in Common Stock or (ii) in either cash or Common Stock shall reduce the
number of shares available for grant of Awards under the Plan by the number of shares
subject to such an Award; provided, however, that upon settlement of the Award, the excess,
if any, of the number of shares of Common Stock that had been subject to such Award over the
number of shares of Common Stock issued upon its settlement shall again be available for
grant of Awards under the Plan. The grant of Restricted Stock Units that may be paid or
settled only for cash shall not affect the number of shares available for grant of Awards
under the Plan.

6

 

     (d) Performance Awards and Other Incentive Awards. The grant of a Performance
Award or Other Incentive Award in the form of Common Stock or that may be paid or settled
(i) only in Common Stock or (ii) in either Common Stock or cash shall reduce the number of shares available for grant of Awards under the Plan by the number of shares subject to such
an Award; provided, however, that upon settlement of the Award, the excess, if any, of the
number of shares of Common Stock that had been subject to such Award over the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon its settlement shall again be available for grant of
Awards under the Plan. The grant of a Performance Award or Other Incentive Award that may
be paid or settled only for cash shall not affect the number of shares available for grant
of Awards under the Plan.

     (e) Cancellation, Forfeiture and Termination. If any Award referred to in
subsection (a), (b), (c), or (d) of this Section (other than an Award that may be paid or
settled only for cash) is canceled or forfeited, or terminates, expires or lapses, for any
reason, the shares then subject to such Award shall again be available for grant of Awards
under the Plan.

     (f) Payment of Exercise Price and Withholding Taxes. If shares of Common Stock
are used to pay the exercise price of an Award, the number of shares available for grant of
Awards under the Plan shall be increased by the number of shares delivered as payment of
such exercise price. If shares of Common Stock are used to pay withholding taxes payable
upon exercise, vesting or payment of an Award, or shares of Common Stock that would be
acquired upon exercise, vesting or payment of an Award are withheld to pay withholding taxes
payable upon exercise, vesting or payment of such Award, the number of shares available for
grant of Awards under the Plan shall be increased by the number of shares delivered or
withheld as payment of such withholding taxes.

ARTICLE V. ELIGIBILITY

     The Committee shall select Participants from those Employees, Outside Directors and other
individuals or entities providing services to the Company that, in the opinion of the Committee,
are in a position to make a significant contribution to the success of the Company. Once a
Participant has been selected for an Award by the Committee, the Committee shall determine the type
and size of Award to be granted to the Participant and shall establish in the related Award
Agreement the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations applicable to the Award, in addition
to those set forth in the Plan and the administrative guidelines and regulations, if any,
established by the Committee.

ARTICLE VI. FORM OF AWARDS

     Section 6.1 Form of Awards. Awards may be granted under the Plan, in the Committee’s
sole discretion, in the form of Options pursuant to Article VII, SARs pursuant to Article VIII,
Restricted Stock pursuant to Article IX, Restricted Stock Units pursuant to Article X, Performance
Awards pursuant to Article XI, and Stock Awards and Other Incentive Awards pursuant to Article XII,
or a combination thereof. All Awards shall be subject to the terms, conditions, restrictions and
limitations of the Plan. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, subject any Award to such
other terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations (including without limitation the time and
conditions of exercise, vesting or payment of an Award and restrictions on transferability of any
shares of Common Stock issued or delivered pursuant to an Award), provided they are not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan. The Committee may, but is not required to, subject an
Award to such conditions as it determines are necessary or appropriate to ensure that an Award
constitutes “qualified performance based compensation” within the meaning of section 162(m) of the
Code and the regulations thereunder. Awards under a particular Article of the Plan need not be
uniform, and Awards under more than one Article of the Plan may be combined in a single Award
Agreement. Any combination of Awards may be granted at one time and on more than one occasion to
the same Participant. Subject to compliance with applicable tax law, an Award Agreement may
provide that a Participant may elect to defer receipt of income attributable to the exercise or
vesting of an Award.

     Section 6.2 No Repricing. Except for adjustments made pursuant to Section 4.2, no
Award may be repriced, replaced, regranted through cancellation or modified without stockholder
approval, if the effect would be to reduce the exercise price for the shares underlying such Award;
and, the Committee may not cancel an outstanding Option that is under water for the purpose of
granting a replacement Award of a different type.

     Section 6.3 No Reload Rights. Options shall not contain any provision entitling the
Participant to an automatic grant of additional Options in connection with any exercise of the
original Option.

     Section 6.4 Substitution of SARs for Options. Any provision of this Plan to the
contrary notwithstanding, if Intervoice is required to or elects to record as an expense in its
consolidated statements of

7

 

earnings the cost of Options pursuant to FAS 123R or a similar accounting requirement, the
Committee shall have the sole discretion to substitute, without receiving Participants’ consent,
SARs settled only in stock for outstanding Options; provided, however, that the terms of the
substituted SARs are the same as the terms of the Options, the number of shares underlying the SARs
equals the number of shares underlying the Options and the difference between the Fair Market Value
of the underlying shares and the grant price of the SARs is equivalent to the difference between
the Fair Market Value of the underlying shares and the exercise price of the Options.

ARTICLE VII. OPTIONS

     Section 7.1 General. Awards may be granted in the form of Options that may be
Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options, or a combination of both; provided, however,
that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees.

     Section 7.2 Terms and Conditions of Options. An Option shall be exercisable in whole
or in such installments and at such times as may be determined by the Committee. The price at
which a share of Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Option shall be determined by
the Committee, but such exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per
share of Common Stock on the Grant Date unless the Option is granted through the assumption of, or
in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who became Employees as a
result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or other corporate transaction involving the
Company, provided that such assumption or substitution either complies with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code or is consistent with maintaining the exempt status of the Award from the
application of that section. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.3, the term of each Option
shall be as specified by the Committee; provided, however, that no Options shall be exercisable
later than seven years after the Grant Date. Options may be granted with respect to Restricted
Stock or shares of Common Stock that are not Restricted Stock, as determined by the Committee in
its sole discretion.

     Section 7.3 Restrictions Relating to Incentive Stock Options.

     (a) Options granted in the form of Incentive Stock Options shall, in addition to being
subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7.2, comply with section 422(b) of the Code.
To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the times the respective
Incentive Stock Options are granted) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock
Options are exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year under
all incentive stock option plans of Intervoice and its Affiliates exceeds $100,000, such
excess Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as options that do not constitute Incentive
Stock Options. The Committee shall determine, in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Code, which of a Participant’s Incentive Stock Options will not constitute Incentive
Stock Options because of such limitation and shall notify the Participant of such
determination as soon as practicable after such determination. The price at which a share
of Common Stock may be purchased upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall be
determined by the Committee, but such exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date. No Incentive Stock Option shall
be granted to an Employee under the Plan if, at the time such Option is granted, such
Employee owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of stock of Intervoice or an Affiliate, within the meaning of section 422(b)(6) of
the Code, unless (i) on the Grant Date of such Option, the exercise price of such Option is
at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option and (ii)
such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the
Grant Date of the Option.

     (b) Each Participant awarded an Incentive Stock Option shall notify Intervoice in
writing immediately after the date he or she makes a disqualifying disposition of any shares
of Common Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option. A
disqualifying disposition is any disposition (including any sale) of such Common Stock
before the later of (i) two years after the Grant Date of the Incentive Stock Option or (ii)
one year after the date of exercise of the Incentive Stock Option.

     Section 7.4 Exercise of Options.

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, Options shall be exercised by the
delivery of a written notice of exercise to Intervoice, setting forth the number of whole shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by
full payment for such shares.

     (b) Upon exercise of an Option, the exercise price of the Option shall be payable to
Intervoice in full either: (i) in cash or an equivalent acceptable to the Committee, (ii) in
the sole discretion of the

8

 

Committee and in accordance with any applicable administrative guidelines established by the
Committee, (A) by tendering one or more previously acquired nonforfeitable, unrestricted shares of Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal
to the total exercise price or (B) by surrendering a sufficient portion of the shares with
respect to which the Option is exercised having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time
of exercise equal to the total exercise price, or (iii) in a combination of the forms
specified in (i) or (ii) of this subsection; provided, however, that payment of the exercise
price by means of tendering or surrendering shares of Common Stock shall not be permitted
when the same may, in the reasonable opinion of the Committee, cause Intervoice to record a
loss or expense as a result thereof.

     (c) During such time as the Common Stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange
Act, to the extent permissible under applicable law, payment of the exercise price of an
Option may also be made, in the absolute discretion of the Committee, by delivery to
Intervoice or its designated agent of an executed irrevocable option exercise form together
with irrevocable instructions to a broker-dealer to sell or margin a sufficient portion of
the shares with respect to which the Option is exercised and deliver the sale or margin loan
proceeds directly to Intervoice to pay the exercise price and any required withholding
taxes.

     (d) As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of written notification of exercise
of an Option and full payment of the exercise price and any required withholding taxes,
Intervoice shall (i) deliver to the Participant, in the Participant’s name or the name of
the Participant’s designee, a stock certificate or certificates in an appropriate aggregate
amount based upon the number of shares of Common Stock purchased under the Option, or (ii)
cause to be issued in the Participant’s name or the name of the Participant’s designee, in
book-entry form, an appropriate number of shares of Common Stock based upon the number of shares purchased under the Option.

     Section 7.5 Termination of Employment or Service. Each Award Agreement embodying the
Award of an Option shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to
exercise the Option following termination of the Participant’s employment or service with the
Company. Such provisions shall be determined by the Committee in its absolute discretion, need not
be uniform among all Options granted under the Plan and may reflect distinctions based on the
reasons for termination of employment or service. In the event a Participant’s Award Agreement
embodying the award of an Option does not set forth such termination provisions, the following
termination provisions shall apply with respect to such Award:

     (a) Termination Other Than for Retirement, Disability, Death or Cause. If the
employment or service of a Participant shall terminate for any reason other than Retirement,
Disability, death or Cause, each outstanding Option held by the Participant may be
exercised, to the extent then vested, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of 12 months
from the date of such termination of employment or service or (ii) the expiration of the
term of such Option.

     (b) Termination by Reason of Retirement, Disability or Death. If the
employment or service of a Participant shall terminate by reason of Retirement, Disability
or death, each outstanding Option held by the Participant may be exercised, to the extent
then vested, until the earlier of (i) the expiration of 18 months from the date of such
termination of employment or service or (ii) the expiration of the term of such Option;
provided, however, that with respect to a Participant who terminates employment or service
by reason of Retirement and engages in a Harmful Activity either before or after Retirement,
as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, the 18-month period described in
subsection (b)(i) shall be reduced to ten days from the date Intervoice gives notice of the
Harmful Activity to the Participant.

     (c) Termination for Cause. Notwithstanding subsections (a) and (b) above, if
the employment or service of a Participant shall terminate for Cause, each outstanding
Option held by the Participant may be exercised, to the extent then vested, until the
earlier of (i) the expiration of 30 days from the date of such termination of employment or
service or (ii) the expiration of the terms of such Option.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option will not be treated as an Incentive Stock Option unless at
all times beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the day three months (one year in the case of a
Participant who is “disabled” within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) before the date
of exercise of the Option, the Participant is an employee of Intervoice or an Affiliate (or a
corporation or a parent or subsidiary corporation of such corporation issuing or assuming an option
in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies).

ARTICLE VIII. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

     Section 8.1 General. The Committee may grant Awards in the form of SARs in such
numbers and at such times as it shall determine. SARs shall vest and be exercisable in whole or in
such installments and at such times as may be determined by the Committee. The price at which SARs
may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair
Market Value per share of Common Stock on the Grant Date unless the SARs are granted through the
assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted to individuals who
became Employees as a result of a merger, consolidation, acquisition, or other corporate
transaction involving the Company, provided that such assumption or substitution either complies
with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or is consistent with maintaining the exempt
status of the Award from the application of that section. The term of each SAR shall be as
specified by the Committee; provided, however, that no SARs shall be exercisable later than seven
years after the Grant Date. At the time of an Award of SARs, the Committee may, in its sole
discretion, prescribe additional terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations applicable to the
SARs, including without limitation rules pertaining to the termination of employment or service (by
reason of death, permanent and total disability, or otherwise) of a Participant prior to exercise
of the SARs, as it determines are necessary or appropriate, provided they are not inconsistent with
the Plan.

     Section 8.2 Exercise of SARs. SARs shall be exercised by the delivery of a written
notice of exercise to Intervoice, setting forth the number of whole shares of Common Stock with
respect to which the Award is being exercised. Upon the exercise of SARs, the Participant shall be
entitled to receive an amount equal to the excess of the aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares
of Common Stock with respect to which the Award is exercised (determined as of the date of such
exercise) over the aggregate exercise price of such shares. Such amount shall be payable to the
Participant in cash or in shares of Common Stock, as provided in the Award Agreement.

ARTICLE IX. RESTRICTED STOCK

     Section 9.1 General. Awards may be granted in the form of Restricted Stock in such
numbers and at such times as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall impose such terms,
conditions and restrictions on Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable, including without
limitation providing for vesting upon the achievement of specified performance goals pursuant to a
Performance Award and restrictions under applicable Federal or state securities laws. A
Participant shall not be required to make any payment for Restricted Stock unless required by the
Committee pursuant to Section 9.2.

     Section 9.2 Purchased Restricted Stock. The Committee may in its sole discretion
require a Participant to pay a stipulated purchase price for each share of Restricted Stock
(“Purchased Restricted Stock”).

     Section 9.3 Restricted Period. At the time an Award of Restricted Stock is granted,
the Committee shall establish a Restricted Period applicable to such Restricted Stock. Each Award
of Restricted Stock may have a different Restricted Period in the sole discretion of the Committee.

     Section 9.4 Other Terms and Conditions. Restricted Stock shall constitute issued and
outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. Restricted Stock awarded to a
Participant under the Plan shall be registered in the name of the Participant or, at the option of
Intervoice, in the name of a nominee of Intervoice, and shall be issued in book-entry form or
represented by a stock certificate. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement, a
Participant to whom Restricted Stock has been awarded shall have the right to receive dividends
thereon during the Restricted Period, to vote the Restricted Stock and to enjoy all other
stockholder rights with respect thereto, except that (a) Intervoice shall retain custody of any
certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock during the Restricted Period, and (b) the Participant
may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of the Restricted Stock
during the Restricted Period. A breach of the terms and conditions established by the Committee
pursuant to the Award of the Restricted Stock may result in a forfeiture of the Restricted Stock.
At the time of an Award of Restricted Stock, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe
additional terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations applicable to the Restricted Stock,
including without limitation rules pertaining to the termination of employment or service (by
reason of death, permanent and total disability, retirement or otherwise) of a Participant prior to
expiration of the Restricted Period.

     Section 9.5 Miscellaneous. Nothing in this Article shall prohibit the exchange of
shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to a plan of merger or reorganization for stock or other
securities of Intervoice or another corporation that is a party to the reorganization, provided
that the stock or securities so received in exchange for shares of Restricted Stock shall, except
as provided in Article XIII, become subject to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted
Stock. Any shares of Common Stock received as a result of a stock split or stock dividend with
respect to shares of Restricted Stock shall also become subject to the restrictions applicable to
such Restricted Stock.

10

 

ARTICLE X. RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

     Section 10.1 General. Awards may be granted in the form of Restricted Stock Units in
such numbers and at such times as the Committee shall determine. The Committee shall impose such
terms, conditions and restrictions on Restricted Stock Units as it may deem advisable, including
without limitation prescribing the period over which and the conditions upon which a Restricted
Stock Unit may become vested or be forfeited, and providing for vesting upon the achievement of
specified performance goals pursuant to a Performance Award. Upon the lapse of restrictions with
respect to each Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to receive from the
Company one share of Common Stock or an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of one share
of Common Stock, as provided in the Award Agreement. A Participant shall not be required to make
any payment for Restricted Stock Units.

     Section 10.2 Restricted Period. At the time an Award of Restricted Stock Units is
granted, the Committee shall establish a Restricted Period applicable to such Restricted Stock
Units. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units may have a different Restricted Period in the sole
discretion of the Committee.

     Section 10.3 Cash Dividend Rights and Dividend Unit Rights. To the extent provided by
the Committee in its sole discretion, a grant of Restricted Stock Units may include a tandem Cash
Dividend Right or Dividend Unit Right grant. A grant of Cash Dividend Rights may provide that such
Cash Dividend Rights shall be paid directly to the Participant at the time of payment of related
dividend, be credited to a bookkeeping account subject to the same vesting and payment provisions
as the tandem Award (with or without interest in the sole discretion of the Committee), or be
subject to such other provisions or restrictions as determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion. A grant of Dividend Unit Rights may provide that such Dividend Unit Rights shall be
subject to the same vesting and payment provisions as the tandem Award or be subject to such other
provisions and restrictions as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

     Section 10.4 Other Terms and Conditions. At the time of an Award of Restricted Stock
Units, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe additional terms, conditions,
restrictions and limitations applicable to the Restricted Stock Units, including without limitation
rules pertaining to the termination of employment or service (by reason of death, permanent and
total disability, retirement or otherwise) of a Participant prior to expiration of the Restricted
Period.

ARTICLE XI. PERFORMANCE AWARDS

     Section 11.1 General. Awards may be granted in the form of Performance Awards that
may be payable in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, or a combination of both, in such
amounts and at such times as the Committee shall determine. Performance Awards shall be
conditioned upon the level of achievement of one or more stated performance goals over a specified
performance period that shall not be shorter than one year. Performance Awards may be combined
with other Awards to impose performance criteria as part of the terms of such other Awards.

     Section 11.2 Terms and Conditions. Each Award Agreement embodying a Performance Award
shall set forth (a) the amount, including a target and maximum amount if applicable, a Participant
may earn in the form of cash or shares of Common Stock or a formula for determining such amount,
(b) the performance criteria and level of achievement versus such criteria that shall determine the
amount payable or number of shares of Common Stock to be granted, issued, retained and/or vested,
(c) the performance period over which performance is to be measured, (d) the timing of any payments
to be made, (e) restrictions on the transferability of the Award, and (f) such other terms and
conditions as the Committee may determine that are not inconsistent with the Plan.

     Section 11.3 Code Section 162(m) Requirements. The Committee shall determine in its
sole discretion whether all or any portion of a Performance Award shall be intended to satisfy the
requirements for “performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Code (the “162(m)
Requirements”). The performance criteria for any Performance Award that is intended to satisfy the
162(m) Requirements shall be established in writing by the Committee based on one or more
performance goals as set forth in Section 11.4 not later than 90 days after commencement of the
performance period with respect to such Award, provided that the outcome of the performance in
respect of the goals remains substantially uncertain as of such time. The maximum amount that may
be paid in cash pursuant to Performance Awards granted to a Participant with respect to a Fiscal
Year that are intended to satisfy the 162(m) Requirements is $2,000,000; provided, however, that
such maximum amount with respect to a Performance Award that provides for a performance period
longer than one Fiscal Year shall be the foregoing limit multiplied by the number of full Fiscal
Years in the performance period. At the time of the grant of a Performance Award and to the extent
permitted under Code section 162(m) and regulations thereunder for

11

 

a Performance Award intended to satisfy the 162(m) Requirements, the Committee may provide for the
manner in which the performance goals will be measured in light of specified corporate
transactions, extraordinary events, accounting changes and other similar occurrences.

     Section 11.4 Performance Goals. The performance measure(s) to be used for purposes of
Performance Awards may be described in terms of objectives that are related to the individual
Participant or objectives that are Company-wide or related to a subsidiary, division, department,
region, function or business unit of the Company in which the Participant is employed or with
respect to which the Participant performs services, and may consist of one or more or any
combination of the following criteria: (a) earnings or earnings per share (whether on a pre-tax,
after-tax, operational or other basis), (b) return on equity, (c) return on assets or net assets,
(d) return on capital or invested capital and other related financial measures, (e) cash flow, (f)
revenues, (g) income or operating income, (h) expenses or expense levels, (i) one or more operating
ratios, (j) stock price, (k) total shareholder return, (l) market share, (m) operating profit, (n)
profit margin, (o) cash flow, (p) capital expenditures, (q) net borrowing, debt leverage levels,
credit quality or debt ratings, (r) the accomplishment of mergers, acquisitions, dispositions,
public offerings or similar extraordinary business transactions, (s) net asset value per share, (t)
economic value added and (u) individual business objectives. The performance goals based on these
performance measures may be made relative to the performance of other business entities.

     Section 11.5 Certification and Negative Discretion. Prior to the payment of any
compensation pursuant to a Performance Award that is intended to satisfy the 162(m) Requirements,
the Committee shall certify the extent to which the performance goals and other material terms of
the Award have been achieved or satisfied. The Committee in its sole discretion shall have the
authority to reduce, but not to increase, the amount payable and the number of shares to be
granted, issued, retained or vested pursuant to a Performance Award.

ARTICLE XII. OTHER INCENTIVE AWARDS

     Section 12.1 Stock Awards. Stock Awards may be granted to Participants upon such
terms and conditions as the Committee may determine. Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to
Stock Awards may be issued for cash consideration or for no cash consideration. The Committee shall
determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to a Stock Award.

     Section 12.2 Other Incentive Awards. Other Incentive Awards may be granted in such
amounts, upon such terms and at such times as the Committee shall determine. Other Incentive
Awards may be granted based upon, payable in or otherwise related to, in whole or in part, shares
of Common Stock if the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines that such Other Incentive
Awards are consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Each grant of an Other Incentive Award shall
be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the amount of the Other Incentive Award and
the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations applicable to such Award. Payment of Other
Incentive Awards shall be made at such times and in such form, which may be cash, shares of Common
Stock or other property (or a combination thereof), as established by the Committee, subject to the
terms of the Plan.

ARTICLE XIII. CORPORATE CHANGE

     Section 13.1 Vesting of Awards. Except as provided otherwise below in this Article or
in an Award Agreement at the time an Award is granted, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Plan, if a Participant’s employment or service with the Company is involuntarily terminated
other than for Cause or if a Participant voluntarily terminates employment or service for Good
Reason, in either case within the period beginning 90 days prior to and ending one year following a
Corporate Change of Intervoice, any time periods, conditions or contingencies relating to the
exercise or realization of, or lapse of restrictions under, any Award shall be automatically
accelerated or waived so that:

     (a) if no exercise of the Award is required, the Award may be realized in full at the
time of the occurrence of the Participant’s termination of employment or service; or

     (b) if exercise of the Award is required, the Award may be exercised in full commencing
on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or service.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Award that consists of deferred
compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, delivery of payment with respect to
such Award to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A and the
regulations thereunder) as of the date of his or her “separation from service” (as defined in Code
Section 409A and the regulations thereunder) shall be delayed for a period of six months after the
Participant’s separation from service (or, if earlier than the end of the six-month period,

12

 

the date of death of the Participant). In the event all outstanding Awards are replaced in
connection with a Corporate Change by comparable types of awards of at least substantially
equivalent value, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, such replacement awards
shall provide for automatic acceleration or waiver as provided above in the event of a
Participant’s involuntary termination of employment or service with the Company other than for
Cause or voluntary termination of employment or service for Good Reason, as applicable.

     Section 13.2 Cancellation of Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or prior to
the date of a Corporate Change, the Committee may take any of the following actions with respect to
any or all outstanding Awards, without the consent of any Participant: (a) the Committee may
require that Participants surrender their outstanding Options and SARs in exchange for payment by
the Company, in cash, Common Stock, the securities of another company, or a combination thereof, as
determined by the Committee, in an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the then Fair
Market Value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Participant’s unexercised Options and
SARs exceeds the exercise price or grant price, and (b) with respect to Participants holding
Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards or Other Incentive Awards, and related
Cash Dividend Rights and Dividend Unit Rights (if applicable), the Committee may determine that
such Participants shall receive payment in settlement of such Awards (and dividend rights), in an
amount equivalent to the value of such Awards (and dividend rights) at the time of such settlement.
Such surrender or settlement shall take place as of the date of the Corporate Change or such other
date as the Committee may specify. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Award that
consists of deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, in the event of a
Corporate Change that does not satisfy the requirements for a change in the ownership or effective
control of Intervoice or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of
Intervoice within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury guidance and regulations
thereunder, then delivery of payment with respect to such Award as provided herein shall be made
upon the earliest of the Participant’s (i) “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code
Section 409A and the regulations thereunder), (ii) the Disability, (iii) death or (iv) a Corporate
Change that does satisfy the requirements for a change in the ownership or effective control of
Intervoice or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of Intervoice within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and Treasury guidance and regulations thereunder; provided,
however, that delivery of payment upon separation from service to a Participant who is a “specified
employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A and the regulations thereunder) as of the date of his or
her separation from service shall be delayed for a period of six months after the Participant’s
separation from service (or, if earlier than the end of the six-month period, the date of death of
the Participant).

ARTICLE XIV. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

     Section 14.1 Plan Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time suspend,
terminate, amend or modify the Plan, in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment or
modification of the Plan shall become effective without the approval of such amendment or
modification by the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock if (a) such
amendment or modification increases the maximum number of shares subject to the Plan (except as
provided in Article IV) or changes the designation or class of persons eligible to receive Awards
under the Plan, or (b) counsel for Intervoice determines that such approval is otherwise required
by or necessary to comply with applicable law or the listing requirements of NASDAQ or such other
exchange or association on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted. An amendment to the
Plan shall not require stockholder approval if it is made to conform the Plan to statutory or
regulatory requirements, such as, without limitation, changes to Section 409A of the Code, or
regulations issued thereunder. Upon termination of the Plan, the terms and provisions of the Plan
shall, notwithstanding such termination, continue to apply to Awards granted prior to such
termination. Except as otherwise provided herein, no suspension, termination, amendment or
modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted
under the Plan, without the consent of the Participant (or the Permitted Transferee) holding such
Award.

     Section 14.2 Award Amendment and Cancellation. The Committee may amend the terms of
any outstanding Award granted pursuant to the Plan, but except as otherwise provided herein, no
such amendment shall adversely affect in any material way the Participant’s (or a Permitted
Transferee’s) rights under an outstanding Award without the consent of the Participant (or the
Permitted Transferee) holding such Award.

     Section 14.3 Performance-Based Compensation. In the case of an outstanding Award
intended to be eligible for the performance-based compensation exemption under section 162(m) of
the Code, the Committee shall not, without the approval of the holders of at least a majority of
the shares of Common Stock, amend the Plan or the Award in a manner that would adversely affect the
Award’s continued eligibility for the performance-based compensation exemption under section 162(m)
of the Code.

13

 

ARTICLE XV. MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 15.1 Award Agreements. After the Committee grants an Award under the Plan to
a Participant, Intervoice and the Participant shall enter into an Award Agreement setting forth the
terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations applicable to the Award and such other matters as
the Committee may determine to be appropriate. The Committee may permit or require a Participant
to defer receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares of Common Stock that would
otherwise be due to the Participant in connection with any Award; provided, however, that any
permitted deferrals shall be structured to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and
regulations thereunder. The terms and provisions of the respective Award Agreements need not be
identical. All Award Agreements shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the event
of any conflict between an Award Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern. All
Awards under the Plan are intended to be structured in a manner that will either comply with or be
exempt from Section 409A of the Code.

     Section 15.2 Listing; Suspension.

     (a) As long as the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or system
sponsored by a national securities association, the issuance of any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to an Award shall be conditioned upon such shares being listed on such exchange or
system. Intervoice shall have no obligation to issue such shares unless and until such
shares are so listed, and the right to exercise any Option or other Award with respect to
such shares shall be suspended until such listing has been effected.

     (b) If at any time counsel to Intervoice or its Affiliates shall be of the opinion that
any sale or delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award is or may in the
circumstances be unlawful or result in the imposition of excise taxes on Intervoice or its
Affiliates under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, Intervoice or its Affiliates shall
have no obligation to make such sale or delivery, or to make any application or to effect or
to maintain any qualification or registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or otherwise, with respect to shares of Common Stock or Awards, and the right to exercise
any Option or other Award shall be suspended until, in the opinion of such counsel, such
sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of excise taxes on
Intervoice or its Affiliates.

     (c) Upon termination of any period of suspension under this Section, any Award affected
by such suspension that shall not then have expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to
all shares available before such suspension and as to shares that would otherwise have
become available during the period of such suspension, but no such suspension shall extend
the term of any Award unless otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

     Section 15.3 Additional Conditions. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary: (a) the Committee may, if it shall determine it necessary or desirable in its sole
discretion, at the time of grant of any Award or the issuance of any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to any Award, require the recipient of the Award or such shares of Common Stock, as a
condition to the receipt thereof, to deliver to Intervoice a written representation of present
intention to acquire the Award or such shares of Common Stock for his own account for investment
and not for distribution, (b) the certificate for shares of Common Stock issued to a Participant
may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on
transfer, and (c) all certificates for shares of Common Stock delivered under the Plan shall be
subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable
under the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any
stock exchange or association upon which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted, any applicable
federal or state securities law, and any applicable corporate law, and the Committee may cause a
legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions.

     Section 15.4 Transferability.

     (a) All Awards granted to a Participant shall be exercisable during his lifetime only
by such Participant, or if applicable, a Permitted Transferee as provided in subsection (c)
of this Section; provided, however, that in the event of a Participant’s legal incapacity,
an Award may be exercised by his guardian or legal representative. When a Participant dies,
the personal representative, beneficiary, or other person entitled to succeed to the rights
of the Participant may acquire the rights under an Award. Any such successor must furnish
proof satisfactory to Intervoice of the successor’s entitlement to receive the rights under
an Award under the Participant’s will or under the applicable laws of descent and
distribution.

14

 

     (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section, no Award shall be subject to
execution, attachment or similar process, and no Award may be sold, transferred, pledged,
exchanged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of, other than by will or pursuant to the
applicable laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted sale, transfer, pledge,
exchange, hypothecation or other disposition of an Award not specifically permitted by the
Plan or the Award Agreement shall be null and void and without effect.

     (c) If provided in the Award Agreement, Nonqualified Stock Options may be transferred
by a Participant to a Permitted Transferee. For purposes of the Plan, “Permitted
Transferee” means (i) a member of a Participant’s immediate family, (ii) any person sharing
the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee of the Participant), (iii)
trusts in which a person listed in (i) or (ii) above has more than 50% of the beneficial
interest, (iv) a foundation in which the Participant or a person listed in (i) or (ii) above
controls the management of assets, (v) any other entity in which the Participant or a person
listed in (i) or (ii) above owns more than 50% of the voting interests, provided that in the
case of the preceding clauses (i) through (v), no consideration is provided for the
transfer, and (vi) any transferee permitted under applicable securities and tax laws as
determined by counsel to Intervoice. In determining whether a person is a “Permitted
Transferee,” immediate family members shall include a Participant’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.

     (d) Incident to a Participant’s divorce, the Participant may request that Intervoice
agree to observe the terms of a domestic relations order which may or may not be part of a
qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code Section 414(p)) with respect to all
or a part of one or more Awards made to the Participant under the Plan to the Participant’s
alternate payee. Intervoice’s decision regarding such a request shall be made by the
Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, based upon the best interests of Intervoice.
The Committee’s decision need not be uniform among Participants. As a condition of
participation, a Participant agrees to hold Intervoice harmless from any claim that may
arise out of Intervoice’s observance of the terms of any such domestic relations order.

     Section 15.5 Withholding Taxes. The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any
payment made under the Plan, regardless of the form of such payment, the amount of all applicable
income and employment taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment, may
require the Participant to pay to the Company such withholding taxes prior to and as a condition of
the making of any payment or the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock under the Plan,
and shall be entitled to deduct from any other compensation payable to the Participant any
withholding obligations with respect to Awards. In accordance with any applicable administrative
guidelines it establishes, the Committee may allow a Participant to pay the amount of taxes
required by law to be withheld from or with respect to an Award by (a) withholding shares of Common
Stock from any payment of Common Stock due as a result of such Award, or (b) permitting the
Participant to deliver to the Company previously acquired shares of Common Stock, in each case
having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such required withholding taxes. No
payment shall be made and no shares of Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to any Award unless
and until the applicable tax withholding obligations have been satisfied.

     Section 15.6 No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award granted hereunder, provided that the
Committee in its sole discretion may round fractional shares down to the nearest whole share or
settle fractional shares in cash.

     Section 15.7 Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given or made under the
Plan or pursuant to any Award Agreement (unless provided otherwise in such Award Agreement) shall
be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made if (a) delivered personally, (b)
transmitted by first class registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, (c) sent by prepaid overnight courier service, or (d) sent by telecopy or
facsimile transmission, with confirmation receipt, to the person who is to receive it at the
address that such person has theretofore specified by written notice delivered in accordance
herewith. Such notices shall be effective (i) if delivered personally or sent by courier service,
upon actual receipt by the intended recipient, (ii) if mailed, upon the earlier of five days after
deposit in the mail or the date of delivery as shown by the return receipt therefor, or (iii) if
sent by telecopy or facsimile transmission, when the answer back is received. Intervoice or a
Participant may change, at any time and from time to time, by written notice to the other, the
address that it or such Participant had theretofore specified for receiving notices. Until such
address is changed in accordance herewith, notices hereunder or under an Award Agreement shall be
delivered or sent (A) to a Participant at his address as set forth in the records of the Company or
(B) to Intervoice at the principal executive offices of Intervoice clearly marked “Attention:
General Counsel.”

15

 

     Section 15.8 Compliance with Law and Stock Exchange or Association Requirements. In
addition, it is the intent of Intervoice that Options designated as Incentive Stock Options comply
with the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code, and that Awards intended to constitute
“qualified performance-based awards” comply with the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the
Code, and that any deferral of the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of shares of
Common Stock that the Committee may permit or require, and any Award granted that is subject to
Section 409A of the Code, comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and regulations
thereunder. To the extent that any legal requirement of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Sections
422, 162(m) or 409A of the Code (or related regulations) as set forth in the Plan ceases to be
required under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or Sections 422, 162(m) or 409A of the Code, as
applicable, that Plan provision shall cease to apply. Any provision of this Plan to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Committee may revoke any Award if it is contrary to law, governmental
regulation, or stock exchange or association requirements or modify an Award to bring it into
compliance with any government regulation or stock exchange or association requirements. The
Committee may agree to limit its authority under this Section.

     Section 15.9 Binding Effect. The obligations of Intervoice under the Plan shall be
binding upon any successor corporation or organization resulting from the merger, consolidation or
other reorganization of Intervoice, or upon any successor corporation or organization succeeding to
all or substantially all of the assets and business of Intervoice. The terms and conditions of the
Plan shall be binding upon each Participant and his Permitted Transferees, heirs, legatees,
distributees and legal representatives.

     Section 15.10 Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement is
held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the
remaining provisions of the Plan or such agreement, as the case may be, but such provision shall be
fully severable and the Plan or such agreement, as the case may be, shall be construed and enforced
as if the illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein or therein.

     Section 15.11 No Restriction of Corporate Action. Nothing contained in the Plan shall
be construed to prevent Intervoice or any Affiliate from taking any corporate action (including any
corporate action to suspend, terminate, amend or modify the Plan) that is deemed by Intervoice or
such Affiliate to be appropriate or in its best interest, whether or not such action would have an
adverse effect on the Plan or any Awards made or to be made under the Plan. No Participant or
other person shall have any claim against Intervoice or any Affiliate as a result of such action.

     Section 15.12 Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws (and not the principles relating to conflicts of laws) of the
State of Texas except as superseded by applicable federal law.

     Section 15.13 No Right, Title or Interest in Company Assets. No Participant shall
have any rights as a stockholder of Intervoice as a result of participation in the Plan until the
date of issuance of Common Stock in his name and, in the case of Restricted Stock, unless and until
such rights are granted to the Participant pursuant to the Plan. To the extent any person acquires
a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such rights shall be no greater than
the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Company, and such person shall not have any
rights in or against any specific assets of the Company. All Awards shall be unfunded.

     Section 15.14 Risk of Participation. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed
either as a guarantee by Intervoice or its Affiliates, or their respective stockholders, directors,
officers or employees, of the value of any assets of the Plan or as an agreement by Intervoice or
its Affiliates, or their respective stockholders, directors, officers or employees, to indemnify
anyone for any losses, damages, costs or expenses resulting from participation in the Plan.

     Section 15.15 No Guarantee of Tax Consequences. No person connected with the Plan in
any capacity, including without limitation Intervoice and its Affiliates and their respective
directors, officers, agents and employees, makes any representation, commitment or guarantee that
any tax treatment, including without limitation federal, state and local income, estate and gift
tax treatment, will be applicable with respect to any Awards or payments thereunder made to or for
the benefit of a Participant under the Plan or that such tax treatment will apply to or be
available to a Participant on account of participation in the Plan.

     Section 15.16 Continued Employment or Service. Nothing contained in the Plan or in
any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employ or
service of the Company, or interfere in any way with the rights of the Company to terminate a
Participant’s employment or service at any time, with or without cause. The loss of existing or
potential profit in Awards will not constitute an element of damages in

16

 

the event of termination of employment or service for any reason, even if the termination is in
violation of an obligation of Intervoice or an Affiliate to the Participant.

     Section 15.17 Miscellaneous. Headings are given to the articles and sections of the
Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way
material or relevant to the construction of the Plan or any provisions hereof. The use of the
masculine gender shall also include within its meaning the feminine. Wherever the context of the
Plan dictates, the use of the singular shall also include within its meaning the plural, and vice
versa.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this 2007 Stock Incentive Plan has been executed as of the Effective Date.

BEVOCAL, INC.

1999 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN

ARTICLE ONE

GENERAL PROVISIONS

     I.     PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

            This 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan is intended to promote the interests of BeVocal,
Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons in the Corporation’s employ or service
with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary
interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to continue in such employ or service.

            Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the attached
Appendix.

     II.    STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

            A.      The Plan shall be divided into two (2) separate equity programs:

                 (i)      the Option Grant Program under which eligible persons may, at the
discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of
Common Stock, and

                 (ii)     the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the
discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common Stock directly,
either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services
rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

            B.      The provisions of Articles One and Four shall apply to both equity programs under the Plan
and shall accordingly govern the interests of all persons under the Plan.

     III.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

            A.      The Plan shall be administered by the Board. However, any or all administrative functions
otherwise exercisable by the Board may be delegated to the Committee. Members of the Committee
shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by
the Board at any time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of the Committee and
reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee.

 

 

            B.     The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the
Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for proper administration
of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and
any outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable.
Decisions of the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest
in the Plan or any option grant or stock issuance thereunder.

     IV.    ELIGIBILITY

            A.      The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are as follows:

                 (i)      Employees,

                 (ii)     non-employee members of the Board or the non-employee members of the board
of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and

                 (iii)    consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the
Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

            B.      The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine, (i) with respect to the
grants made under the Option Grant Program, which eligible persons are to receive such grants, the
time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such
grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option,
the time or times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any)
applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding,
and (ii) with respect to stock issuances made under the Stock Issuance Program, which eligible
persons are to receive such issuances, the time or times when those issuances are to be made, the
number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the
issued shares and the consideration to be paid by the Participant for such shares.

            C.      The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to grant options in
accordance with the Option Grant Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock
Issuance Program.

     V.      STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

            A.      The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but unissued or reacquired
Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued over the term of the
Plan shall not exceed five million twenty-five thousand twenty-five (5,025,025) shares.

2.

 

            B.      Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be available for subsequent
issuance under the Plan to the extent (i) the options expire or terminate for any reason prior to
exercise in full or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant
provisions of Article Two. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently repurchased by
the Corporation, at the option exercise or direct issue price paid per share, pursuant to the
Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of
Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance
through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan.

            C.      Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate
adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the
Plan and (ii) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect
under each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits
thereunder. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and
conclusive. In no event shall any such adjustments be made in connection with the conversion of
one or more outstanding shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock into shares of Common Stock.

3.

 

ARTICLE TWO

OPTION GRANT PROGRAM

     I.     OPTION TERMS

            Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan
Administrator; provided, however, that each such document shall comply with the terms
specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to
the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options.

            A.      Exercise Price.

                    1.      The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator in accordance with
the following provisions:

                 (i)      The exercise price per share shall not be less than eighty-five percent
(85%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

                 (ii)     If the person to whom the option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the
exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of
the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

                    2.      The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall,
subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four and the documents evidencing the option, be
payable in cash or check made payable to the Corporation. Should the Common Stock be registered
under Section 12 of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then the exercise price may
also be paid as follows:

                 (i)      in shares of Common Stock held for the requisite period necessary to avoid
a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued
at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or

                 (ii)     to the extent the option is exercised for vested shares, through a special
sale and remittance procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently
provide irrevocable instructions (A) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to
effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out
of the sale proceeds available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the
aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable
Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the
Corporation by reason of such exercise and (B) to the Corporation to deliver the
certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to
complete the sale.

4.

 

            Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise
price for the purchased shares must be made on the Exercise Date.

            B.      Exercise and Term of Options. Each option shall be exercisable at such time or
times, during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan
Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option grant. However, no option shall
have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option grant date.

            C.      Effect of Termination of Service.

                    1.      The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any options held by the Optionee at
the time of cessation of Service or death:

                 (i)      Should the Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason other than
death, Disability or Misconduct, then the Optionee shall have a period of three (3)
months following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each
outstanding option held by such Optionee.

                 (ii)     Should Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of Disability, then the
Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such
cessation of Service during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such
Optionee.

                 (iii)    If the Optionee dies while holding an outstanding option, then the
personal representative of his or her estate or the person or persons to whom the
option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance
shall have a twelve (12)-month period following the date of the Optionee’s death to
exercise such option.

                 (iv)    Under no circumstances, however, shall any such option be exercisable
after the specified expiration of the option term.

                 (v)      During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the option may not be
exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the
option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee’s cessation of Service. Upon the
expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of
the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any
vested shares for which the option has not been exercised. However, the option
shall, immediately upon the Optionee’s cessation of Service, terminate and cease to
be outstanding with respect to any and all option shares for which the option is not
otherwise at the time exercisable or in which the Optionee is not otherwise at that
time vested.

5.

 

                 (vi)    Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should Optionee
otherwise engage in Misconduct while holding one or more outstanding options under
the Plan, then those options shall terminate immediately and cease to remain
outstanding.

                    2.      The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an option
is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to:

                 (i)      extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable
following Optionee’s cessation of Service or death from the limited period otherwise
in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan Administrator
shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term,
and/or

                 (ii)     permit the option to be exercised, during the applicable post-Service
exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of Common
Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation
of Service but also with respect to one or more additional installments in which the
Optionee would have vested under the option had the Optionee continued in Service.

            D.      Stockholder Rights. The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights with
respect to the shares subject to the option until such person shall have exercised the option, paid
the exercise price and become the recordholder of the purchased shares.

            E.      Unvested Shares. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options
that are exercisable for unvested shares of Common Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while
holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise
price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares. The terms upon which such repurchase
right shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate
vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set
forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right. The Plan Administrator may not impose a
vesting schedule upon any option grant or the shares of Common Stock subject to that option that is
more restrictive than twenty percent (20%) per year vesting, with the initial vesting to occur not
later than one (1) year after the option grant date. However, such limitation shall not apply to
any option grants made to individuals who are officers of the Corporation, non-employee Board
members or independent consultants.

            F.      First Refusal Rights. Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered
under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with
respect to any proposed disposition by the Optionee (or any successor in interest) of any shares of
Common Stock issued under the Plan. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance
with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such
right.

6.

 

            G.      Limited Transferability of Options. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the
option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable other
than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution following the Optionee’s death.

     II.    INCENTIVE OPTIONS

            The terms specified below shall apply to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the
provisions of this Section II, all the provisions of Articles One, Two and Four shall be applicable
to Incentive Options. Options that are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options shall not
be subject to the terms of this Section II.

            A.      Eligibility. Incentive Options may only be granted to Employees.

            B.      Exercise Price. The exercise price per share shall not be less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date.

            C.      Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock
(determined as of the respective date or dates of grant) for which one or more options granted to
any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or
Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1)
calendar year shall not exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent
the Employee holds two (2) or more such options that become exercisable for the first time in the
same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such options as Incentive
Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted.

            D.      10% Stockholder. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10%
Stockholder, then the option term shall not exceed five (5) years measured from the option grant
date.

     III.   CORPORATE TRANSACTION

            A.      The shares subject to each option outstanding under the Plan at the time of a Corporate
Transaction shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to
the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become fully exercisable for all of the shares of
Common Stock at the time subject to that option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares
as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, the shares subject to an outstanding option shall
not vest on such an accelerated basis if and to the extent: (i) such option is assumed by the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the Corporate Transaction and any repurchase rights of
the Corporation with respect to the unvested option shares are concurrently to be assigned to such
successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash
incentive program of the successor corporation that

7.

 

preserves the spread existing on the unvested option shares at the time of the Corporate
Transaction and provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule
applicable to those unvested option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to
other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the option grant.

            B.      All outstanding repurchase rights shall also terminate automatically, and the shares of
Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any
Corporate Transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the
successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii)
such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the
time the repurchase right is issued.

            C.      Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding
options shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor
corporation (or parent thereof).

            D.      Each option that is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be
appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction, to apply to the number and
class of securities that would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate
Transaction, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction.
Appropriate adjustments shall also be made to (i) the number and class of securities available for
issuance under the Plan following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction and (ii) the
exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the aggregate
exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders
of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in
consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the
assumption of the outstanding options under this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own
common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per share of Common
Stock in such Corporate Transaction.

            E.      The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time the option
is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure one or more options so
that those options shall automatically accelerate and vest in full (and any repurchase rights of
the Corporation with respect to the unvested shares subject to those options shall immediately
terminate) upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether or not those options are to be
assumed in the Corporate Transaction.

            F.      The Plan Administrator shall also have full power and authority, exercisable either at the
time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure such
option so that the shares subject to that option will automatically vest on an accelerated basis
should the Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated
period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate
Transaction in which the option is assumed and the repurchase rights applicable to those shares do
not otherwise terminate. Any option so accelerated shall remain exercisable for the fully vested
option shares until the expiration or sooner termination

8.

 

of the option term. In addition, the Plan Administrator may provide that one or more of the
Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights with respect to shares held by the Optionee at the time
of such Involuntary Termination shall immediately terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares
subject to those terminated rights shall accordingly vest at that time.

            G.      The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Corporate Transaction
shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred
Thousand Dollar ($100,000) limitation is not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is
exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option
under the Federal tax laws.

            H.      The grant of options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to
adjust, reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge,
consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

     IV.   CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS

            The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time,
with the consent of the affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options
under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefor new options covering the same or different
number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price per share based on the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date.

ARTICLE THREE

STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM

     I.      STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS

            Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and
immediate issuances without any intervening option grants. Each such stock issuance shall be
evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement that complies with the terms specified below.

            A.      Purchase Price.

                    1.      The purchase price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less
than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the issue
date. However, the purchase price per share of Common Stock issued to a 10% Stockholder shall not
be less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of such Fair Market Value.

                    2.      Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four, shares of Common Stock may be
issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration that the
Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance:

                 (i)      cash or check made payable to the Corporation, or

                 (ii)     past services rendered to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary).

            B.      Vesting Provisions.

                    1.      Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program may, in the discretion of
the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more
installments over the Participant’s period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance
objectives. However, the Plan Administrator may not impose a vesting schedule upon any stock
issuance effected under the Stock Issuance Program that is more restrictive than twenty percent
(20%) per year vesting, with initial vesting to occur not later than one (1) year after the
issuance date. Such limitation shall not apply to any Common Stock issuances made to the officers
of the Corporation, non-employee Board members or independent consultants.

10.

 

                    2.     Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property (including money paid other
than as a regular cash dividend) that the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to
the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the
outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration shall be
issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the Participant’s unvested shares
of Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate.

                    3.      The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any shares of Common
Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance Program, whether or not the Participant’s
interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such
shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares.

                    4.      Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares
of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be
attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall
be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for cancellation, and the Participant shall have no
further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were
previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including
the Participant’s purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the
cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of
any outstanding purchase-money note of the Participant attributable to such surrendered shares.

                    5.      The Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or
more unvested shares of Common Stock (or other assets attributable thereto) that would otherwise
occur upon the non-completion of the vesting schedule applicable to those shares. Such waiver
shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock
as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver may be effected at any time, whether before or after
the Participant’s cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable
performance objectives.

                    6.      First Refusal Rights. Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered
under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with
respect to any proposed disposition by the Participant (or any successor in interest) of any shares
of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program. Such right of first refusal shall be
exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the
document evidencing such right.

11.

 

     II.   CORPORATE TRANSACTION

            A.      Upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding repurchase rights under the
Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to
those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase
rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such
Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by
the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued.

            B.      The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable either at the
time the unvested shares are issued or any time while the Corporation’s repurchase rights with
respect to those shares remain outstanding, to provide that those rights shall automatically
terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated
rights shall immediately vest, in the event the Participant’s Service should subsequently terminate
by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18)
months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which those repurchase rights
are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof).

     III.   SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS

            Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the
Corporation until the Participant’s interest in such shares vests or may be issued directly to the
Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares.

12.

 

ARTICLE FOUR

MISCELLANEOUS

     I.      FINANCING

            The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price
under the Option Grant Program or the purchase price for shares issued under the Stock Issuance
Program by delivering a full-recourse, interest-bearing promissory note payable in one or more
installments and secured by the purchased shares. In no event may the maximum credit available to
the Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or purchase
price payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of those shares) plus (ii) any Federal,
state and local income and employment tax liability incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in
connection with the option exercise or share purchase.

     II.    EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN

            A.      The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the Board, but no option granted under the
Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be issued under the Plan, until the Plan is approved by
the Corporation’s stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12)
months after the date of the Board’s adoption of the Plan, then all options previously granted
under the Plan shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further options shall be granted
and no shares shall be issued under the Plan. Subject to such limitation, the Plan Administrator
may grant options and issue shares under the Plan at any time after the effective date of the Plan
and before the date fixed herein for termination of the Plan.

            B.      The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the expiration of the ten
(10)-year period measured from the date the Plan is adopted by the Board, (ii) the date on which
all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as vested shares or (iii)
the termination of all outstanding options in connection with a Corporate Transaction. All options
and unvested stock issuances outstanding at the time of a clause (i) termination event shall
continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents
evidencing those options or issuances.

     III.   AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

            A.      The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend or modify the Plan
in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the
rights and obligations with respect to options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding
under the Plan unless the Optionee or the Participant consents to such amendment or modification.
In addition, certain amendments may require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws and
regulations.

13.

 

            B.     Options may be granted under the Option Grant Program and shares may be issued under the Stock
Issuance Program that are in each instance in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock then
available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares actually issued under those
programs shall be held in escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an amendment
sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan.
If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first
such excess grants or issuances are made, then (i) any unexercised options granted on the basis of
such excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation shall
promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise or purchase price paid for any
excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable
Short Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall
thereupon be automatically cancelled and cease to be outstanding.

     IV.   USE OF PROCEEDS

            Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale of shares of Common Stock under
the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes.

     V.     WITHHOLDING

            The Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any
options granted under the Plan or upon the issuance or vesting of any shares issued under the Plan
shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable Federal, state and local income and
employment tax withholding requirements.

     VI.    REGULATORY APPROVALS

            The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any options under the Plan and the issuance of
any shares of Common Stock (i) upon the exercise of any option or (ii) under the Stock Issuance
Program shall be subject to the Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by
regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the options granted under it and the
shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it.

     VII.   NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE RIGHTS

            Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any right to continue in
Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the
rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of
the Optionee or the Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate
such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause.

14.

 

     VIII. FINANCIAL REPORTS

            The Corporation shall deliver a balance sheet and an income statement at least annually to
each individual holding an outstanding option under the Plan, unless such individual is a key
Employee whose duties in connection with the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) assure such
individual access to equivalent information.
