Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased

are employed as common-law employees by the Company, a Parent or a Subsidiary
shall be eligible for the grant of ISOs. In addition, an Employee who owns more
than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of
outstanding stock of the Company or any of its Parents or Subsidiaries shall not
be eligible for the grant of an ISO unless the requirements set forth in Section
422(c)(6) of the Code are satisfied.

a Nonstatutory Option to purchase 60,000 Shares (subject to adjustment

-6-
<PAGE> 12
business day following the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of
the Company's stockholders occurring after 2000 and following the
meeting at which they were appointed, each Outside Director who will
continue serving as a member of the Board thereafter shall receive a
Nonstatutory Option to purchase 25,000 Shares (subject to adjustment
under Section 12).
(iii) The Exercise Price of all Nonstatutory Options
granted to an Outside Director under this Section 4(b) shall be equal to
one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the
date of grant, payable in one of the forms described in Section 9(a),
(b) and (d).
(iv) Each Option granted under Section 4(b)(ii) shall
become exercisable in four equal annual installments on each of the
first four anniversaries of the date of grant. Each Option granted to
Outside Directors who were not initially elected at a regular annual
meeting of the Company's stockholders shall become exercisable in full
at the next regular annual meeting of the Company's stockholders
following the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Option
that has been outstanding for not less than six (6) months shall become
exercisable in full in the event that a Change in Control occurs with
respect to the Company.
(v) All Nonstatutory Options granted to an Outside
Director under this Section 4(b) shall terminate on the earliest of (A)
the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of grant of such Options or (B)
the date twelve (12) months after the termination of such Outside
Director's service for any reason.
(c) Limitation On Grants. No Employee shall be granted Options to
purchase more than one million (1,000,000) Shares in any fiscal year of the
Company (subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12).
(d) Ten-Percent Stockholders. An Employee who owns more than ten percent
(10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be eligible for the grant of an
ISO unless such grant satisfies the requirements of Code Section 422(c)(6).
(e) Attribution Rules. For purposes of Subsection (d) above, in
determining stock ownership, an Employee shall be deemed to own the stock owned,
directly or indirectly, by or for such Employee's brothers, sisters, spouse,
ancestors and lineal descendants. Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for
a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed to be owned
proportionately by or for its shareholders, partners or beneficiaries.
(f) Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Subsection 4(d) above,
"outstanding stock" shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding
immediately after the grant. "Outstanding stock" shall not include shares
authorized for issuance under outstanding options held by the Employee or by any
other person.
-7-
<PAGE> 13
SECTION 5. STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN.
(a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be authorized
but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The maximum aggregate number of Options,
SARs, Stock Units and Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall not exceed
nine million (9,000,000) Shares, plus the additional Shares described in
Sections (b) and (c). The limitation of this Section 5(a) shall be subject to
adjustment pursuant to Section 12.
(b) Annual Increase in Shares. As of January 1 of each year, commencing
with the year 2001, the aggregate number of Options, SARs, Stock Units and
Restricted Shares that may be awarded under the Plan shall automatically
increase by a number equal to the lesser of (i) five million five hundred
thousand (5,500,000) shares, (ii) eight percent (8%) of the outstanding shares
of Stock of the Company on such date or (iii) a lesser amount determined by the
Board. The aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under the Plan shall at
all times be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12. The number of Shares
that are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any time under the
Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain available for
issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all
times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements
of the Plan.
(c) Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares or Shares issued upon the
exercise of Options are forfeited, then such Shares shall again become available
for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units, Options or SARs are forfeited or
terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then the corresponding
Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Stock Units
are settled, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in
settlement of such Stock Units shall reduce the number available under Section
5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If
SARs are exercised, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in
settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available in Section 5(a) and
the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. The
foregoing notwithstanding, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued
under the Plan upon the exercise of ISOs shall not be increased when Restricted
Shares or other Shares are forfeited.
(d) Dividend Equivalents. Any dividend equivalents paid or credited
under the Plan shall not be applied against the number of Restricted Shares,
Stock Units, Options or SARs available for Awards, whether or not such dividend
equivalents are converted into Stock Units.
SECTION 6. RESTRICTED SHARES
(a) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under
the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the
recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all
applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not
inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical.
(b) Payment for Awards. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted
Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the
Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents,
full-recourse promissory notes, past
-8-
<PAGE> 14
services and future services. To the extent that an Award consists of newly
issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient shall furnish consideration with a
value not less than the par value of such Restricted Shares in the form of cash,
cash equivalents, or past services rendered to the Company (or a Parent or
Subsidiary), as the Committee may determine.
(c) Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject
to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction
of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. The Committee may
include among such conditions the requirement that the performance of the
Company or a business unit of the Company for a specified period of one or more
years equal or exceed a target determined in advance by the Committee. Such
performance shall be determined by the Company's independent auditors. Such
target shall be based on one or more of the criteria set forth in Appendix A.
The Committee shall determine such target not later than the 90th day of such
period. In no event shall the number of Restricted Shares which are subject to
performance based vesting conditions exceed five hundred thousand (500,000)
Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12. A Restricted Stock
Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant's
death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at
the time of granting Restricted Shares of thereafter, that all or part of such
Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control
occurs with respect to the Company.
(d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Restricted Shares awarded
under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the
Company's other stockholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require
that the holders of Restricted Shares invest any cash dividends received in
additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares shall be subject
to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the
dividends were paid.
SECTION 7. OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AWARDS OR SALES.
(a) Duration of Offers and Nontransferability of Rights. Any right to
acquire Shares under the Plan (other than an Option) shall automatically expire
if not exercised by the Offeree within thirty (30) days after the grant of such
right was communicated to him by the Committee. Such right shall not be
transferable and shall be exercisable only by the Offeree to whom such right was
granted.
(b) Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be determined by the
Committee at its sole discretion. The Purchase Price shall be payable in one of
the forms described in Sections 9(a), (b) or (c).
(c) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the purchase of Shares, the
Offeree shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with such purchase.
(d) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares awarded or sold under
the Plan shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set
-9-
<PAGE> 15
forth in the applicable Stock Purchase Agreement and shall apply in addition to
any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares.
SECTION 8. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.
(a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall
be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company.
Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan
and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent
with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock
Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is
an ISO or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered
into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in
consideration of a reduction in the Optionee's other compensation. A Stock
Option Agreement may provide that a new Option will be granted automatically to
the Optionee when he or she exercises a prior Option and pays the Exercise Price
in a form described in Section 9.
(b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the
adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 12. Options granted to an
Optionee in a single fiscal year of the Company shall not cover more than one
million (1,000,000) Shares.
(c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than one hundred
percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except
as otherwise provided in Section 4(d). Subject to the foregoing in this Section
8(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee
at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms
described in Sections 9.
(d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the
Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the
satisfaction of any federal, state or local withholding tax obligations that may
arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such
arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal,
state or local withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the
disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option.
(e) Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify
the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The
Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that
the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed ten (10) years from the date of
grant (five (5) years for Employees described in Section 4(d)). A Stock Option
Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the
Optionee's death, disability, or retirement or other events and may provide for
expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the
Optionee's service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an
Award may provide that the Options will not be exercisable unless the related
SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 8(e), the Committee
at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option
is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire.
-10-
<PAGE> 16
(f) Nontransferability. During an Optionee's lifetime, his Option(s)
shall be exercisable only by him and shall not be transferable. In the event of
an Optionee's death, his Option(s) shall not be transferable other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution.
(g) Exercise of Options Upon Termination of Service. Each Stock Option
Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right
to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee's Service with the
Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option of any
executors or administrators of the Optionee's estate or any person who has
acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance.
Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee,
need not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may
reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service.
(h) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the
time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become
exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event
that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company, subject to the
following limitations:
(i) In the case of an ISO, the acceleration of
exercisability shall not occur without the Optionee's written consent.
(ii) If the Company and the other party to the transaction
constituting a Change in Control agree that such transaction is to be
treated as a "pooling of interests" for financial reporting purposes,
and if such transaction in fact is so treated, then the acceleration of
exercisability shall not occur to the extent that the Company's
independent accountants and such other party's independent accountants
separately determine in good faith that such acceleration would preclude
the use of "pooling of interests" accounting.
(i) Leaves of Absence. An Employee's Service shall cease when such
Employee ceases to be actively employed by, or a consultant or adviser to, the
Company (or any subsidiary) as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of
Directors. For purposes of Options, Service does not terminate when an Employee
goes on a bona fide leave of absence, that was approved by the Company in
writing, if the terms of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or
when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. However, for
purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, an
Employee's Service will be treated as terminating ninety (90) days after such
Employee went on leave, unless such Employee's right to return to active work is
guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates in any event when the
approved leave ends, unless such Employee immediately returns to active work.
The Company determines which leaves count toward Service, and when Service
terminates for all purposes under the Plan.
(j) No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an
Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares
covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for
such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 12.
-11-
<PAGE> 17
(k) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the
limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding
options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (to the extent not
previously exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant
of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a
different exercise price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an
Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, impair his rights or increase
his obligations under such Option.
(l) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise
of an Option shall be subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of
repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the
Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable
Stock Option Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general restrictions
that may apply to all holders of Shares.
(m) Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy
out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or
(b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option previously granted, in
either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the
Committee shall establish.
SECTION 9. PAYMENT FOR SHARES.
(a) General Rule. The entire Exercise Price of Shares issued under the
Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the
time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Subsections 9(b)
through 9(g) below.
(b) Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting to
the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee or his
representative for more than twelve (12) months. Such Shares shall be valued at
their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the
Plan. The Optionee shall not surrender, or attest to the ownership of, Shares in
payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to
recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect
to the Option for financial reporting purposes.
(c) Services Rendered. At the discretion of the Committee, Shares may be
awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a
Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a
Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination (at the time of
the award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the
sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(c).
(d) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed
by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell
Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment
of the aggregate Exercise Price.
(e) Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed
by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender
to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and
-12-
<PAGE> 18
to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds to the Company in payment of the
aggregate Exercise Price.
(f) Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed
by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note. However, the par value of the
Common Shares being purchased under the Plan, if newly issued, shall be paid in
cash or cash equivalents.
(g) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement
so provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with
applicable laws, regulations and rules.
SECTION 10. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
(a) SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced
by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR shall be
subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other
terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR
Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs may be
granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee's other compensation.
(b) Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of
Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such
number in accordance with Section 12. SARs granted to any Optionee in a single
calendar year shall in no event pertain to more than one million (1,000,000)
Shares, except that SARs granted to a new Employee in the fiscal year of the
Company in which his or her service as an Employee first commences shall not
pertain to more than five hundred thousand (500,000) Shares. The limitations set
forth in the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment in accordance
with Section 12.
(c) Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the Exercise Price.
A SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a
predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding.
(d) Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date
when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR
Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide
for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee's death, disability
or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of
its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee's service. SARs may be
awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs
will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be
included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at
the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that
it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.
(e) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the
time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully
exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a
Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company, subject to the following
sentence. If the Company and the other party to the
-13-
<PAGE> 19
transaction constituting a Change in Control agree that such transaction is to
be treated as a "pooling of interests" for financial reporting purposes, and if
such transaction in fact is so treated, then the acceleration of exercisability
shall not occur to the extent that the Company's independent accountants and
such other party's independent accountants separately determine in good faith
that such acceleration would preclude the use of "pooling of interests"
accounting.
(f) Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the Optionee (or any
person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall
receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and
cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount of cash and/or the Fair
Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate,
be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value (on the date of surrender)
of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. If, on the date
when a SAR expires, the Exercise Price under such SAR is less than the Fair
Market Value on such date but any portion of such SAR has not been exercised or
surrendered, then such SAR shall automatically be deemed to be exercised as of
such date with respect to such portion.
(g) Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the
Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept
the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the Company or by
another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different
number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the
Optionee, may alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR.
SECTION 11. STOCK UNITS.
(a) Stock Unit Agreement. Each grant of Stock Units under the Plan shall
be evidenced by a Stock Unit Agreement between the recipient and the Company.
Such Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be
subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The
provisions of the various Stock Unit Agreements entered into under the Plan need
not be identical. Stock Units may be granted in consideration of a reduction in
the recipient's other compensation.
(b) Payment for Awards. To the extent that an Award is granted in the
form of Stock Units, no cash consideration shall be required of the Award
recipients.
(c) Vesting Conditions. Each Award of Stock Units may or may not be
subject to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon
satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Stock Unit Agreement. A Stock
Unit Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the
Participant's death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may
determine, at the time of granting Stock Units or thereafter, that all or part
of such Stock Units shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control
occurs with respect to the Company, except as provided in the next following
sentence. If the Company and the other party to the transaction constituting a
Change in Control agree that such transaction is to be treated as a "pooling of
interests" for financial reporting purposes, and if such transaction in fact is
so treated, then the acceleration of vesting shall not occur to the extent that
the Company's independent accountants and such other party's independent
accountants separately determine in good faith that such acceleration would
preclude the use of "pooling of interests" accounting.
-14-
<PAGE> 20
(d) Voting and Dividend Rights. The holders of Stock Units shall have no
voting rights. Prior to settlement or forfeiture, any Stock Unit awarded under
the Plan may, at the Committee's discretion, carry with it a right to dividend
equivalents. Such right entitles the holder to be credited with an amount equal
to all cash dividends paid on one Share while the Stock Unit is outstanding.
Dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Stock Units. Settlement of
dividend equivalents may be made in the form of cash, in the form of Shares, or
in a combination of both. Prior to distribution, any dividend equivalents which
are not paid shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the
Stock Units to which they attach.
(e) Form and Time of Settlement of Stock Units. Settlement of vested
Stock Units may be made in the form of (a) cash, (b) Shares or (c) any
combination of both, as determined by the Committee. The actual number of Stock
Units eligible for settlement may be larger or smaller than the number included
in the original Award, based on predetermined performance factors. Methods of
converting Stock Units into cash may include (without limitation) a method based
on the average Fair Market Value of Shares over a series of trading days. Vested
Stock Units may be settled in a lump sum or in installments. The distribution
may occur or commence when all vesting conditions applicable to the Stock Units
have been satisfied or have lapsed, or it may be deferred to any later date. The
amount of a deferred distribution may be increased by an interest factor or by
dividend equivalents. Until an Award of Stock Units is settled, the number of
such Stock Units shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 12.
(f) Death of Recipient. Any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after
the recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's beneficiary or
beneficiaries. Each recipient of a Stock Units Award under the Plan shall
designate one or more beneficiaries for this purpose by filing the prescribed
form with the Company. A beneficiary designation may be changed by filing the
prescribed form with the Company at any time before the Award recipient's death.
If no beneficiary was designated or if no designated beneficiary survives the
Award recipient, then any Stock Units Award that becomes payable after the
recipient's death shall be distributed to the recipient's estate.
(g) Creditors' Rights. A holder of Stock Units shall have no rights
other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Stock Units represent an
unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company, subject to the terms and
conditions of the applicable Stock Unit Agreement.
SECTION 12. ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES.
(a) Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding
Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a
dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a material
effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a
recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make
such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more
of:
(i) The number of Options, SARs, Restricted Shares and
Stock Units available for future Awards under Section 5;
(ii) The limitations set forth in Sections 4(c), 8(b) and
10(b);
-15-
<PAGE> 21
(iii) The number of NSOs to be granted to Outside
Directors under Section 4(b);
(iv) The number of Shares covered by each outstanding
Option and SAR;
(v) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and
SAR; or
(vi) The number of Stock Units included in any prior Award
which has not yet been settled.
Except as provided in this Section 12, a Participant shall have no rights by
reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or securities
convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares
of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase
or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.
(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised
or settled, Options, SARs and Stock Units shall terminate immediately prior to
the dissolution or liquidation of the Company.
(c) Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a
merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the
agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement shall provide for:
(i) The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the
Company, if the Company is a surviving corporation;
(ii) The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the
surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary;
(iii) The substitution by the surviving corporation or its
parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards;
(iv) Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated
expiration of the outstanding Awards; or
(v) Settlement of the full value of the outstanding Awards
in cash or cash equivalents followed by cancellation of such Awards.
(d) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 12, an
Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or
consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or
any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class.
Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant
to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to
make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital
or
-16-
<PAGE> 22
business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.
SECTION 13. DEFERRAL OF AWARDS.
The Committee (in its sole discretion) may permit or require a
Participant to:
(i) Have cash that otherwise would be paid to such Participant as a
result of the exercise of a SAR or the settlement of Stock Units
credited to a deferred compensation account established for such
Participant by the Committee as an entry on the Company's books;
(ii) Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such
Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR
converted into an equal number of Stock Units; or
(iii) Have Shares that otherwise would be delivered to such
Participant as a result of the exercise of an Option or SAR or
the settlement of Stock Units converted into amounts credited to
a deferred compensation account established for such Participant
by the Committee as an entry on the Company's books. Such
amounts shall be determined by reference to the Fair Market
Value of such Shares as of the date when they otherwise would
have been delivered to such Participant.
A deferred compensation account established under this Section 13 may be
credited with interest or other forms of investment return, as determined by the
Committee. A Participant for whom such an account is established shall have no
rights other than those of a general creditor of the Company. Such an account
shall represent an unfunded and unsecured obligation of the Company and shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement between such
Participant and the Company. If the deferral or conversion of Awards is
permitted or required, the Committee (in its sole discretion) may establish
rules, procedures and forms pertaining to such Awards, including (without
limitation) the settlement of deferred compensation accounts established under
this Section 13.
SECTION 14. AWARDS UNDER OTHER PLANS.
The Company may grant awards under other plans or programs. Such awards
may be settled in the form of Shares issued under this Plan. Such Shares shall
be treated for all purposes under the Plan like Shares issued in settlement of
Stock Units and shall, when issued, reduce the number of Shares available under
Section 5.
SECTION 15. PAYMENT OF DIRECTOR'S FEES IN SECURITIES.
(a) Effective Date. No provision of this Section 15 shall be effective
unless and until the Board has determined to implement such provision.
(b) Elections to Receive NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. An
Outside Director may elect to receive his or her annual retainer payments and/or
meeting fees from the Company in the form of cash, NSOs, Restricted Shares or
Stock Units, or a combination thereof,
-17-
<PAGE> 23
as determined by the Board. Such NSOs, Restricted Shares and Stock Units shall
be issued under the Plan. An election under this Section 15 shall be filed with
the Company on the prescribed form.
(c) Number and Terms of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units. The
number of NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units to be granted to Outside
Directors in lieu of annual retainers and meeting fees that would otherwise be
paid in cash shall be calculated in a manner determined by the Board. The terms
of such NSOs, Restricted Shares or Stock Units shall also be determined by the
Board.
SECTION 16. LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and
delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable
requirements of law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities
laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the
Company's securities may then be listed, and the Company has obtained the
approval or favorable ruling from any governmental agency which the Company
determines is necessary or advisable.
SECTION 17. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
(a) General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local
or foreign law, a Participant or his or her successor shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax
obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be
required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the Plan until such
obligations are satisfied.
(b) Share Withholding. The Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy
all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the
Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued
to him or her or by surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that he or she
previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on
the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash.
SECTION 18. LIMITATION ON PARACHUTE PAYMENTS.
(a) Scope of Limitation. This Section 18 shall apply to an Award unless
the Committee, at the time of making an Award under the Plan or at any time
thereafter, specifies in writing that such Award shall not be subject to this
Section 18. If this Section 18 applies to an Award, it shall supersede any
contrary provision of the Plan or of any Award granted under the Plan.
(b) Basic Rule. In the event that the independent auditors most recently
selected by the Board (the "Auditors") determine that any payment or transfer by
the Company under the Plan to or for the benefit of a Participant (a "Payment")
would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes because of
the provisions concerning "excess parachute payments" in Section 280G of the
Code, then the aggregate present value of all Payments shall be reduced (but not
below zero) to the Reduced Amount. For purposes of this Section 18, the
-18-
<PAGE> 24
"Reduced Amount" shall be the amount, expressed as a present value, which
maximizes the aggregate present value of the Payments without causing any
Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code.
(c) Reduction of Payments. If the Auditors determine that any Payment
would be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code, then
the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that effect and a copy
of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the
Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion, which and how much of
the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the
aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall
advise the Company in writing of his or her election within ten (10) days of
receipt of notice. If no such election is made by the Participant within such
ten (10) day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the
Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the
aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall
notify the Participant promptly of such election. For purposes of this Section
18, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of
the Code. All determinations made by the Auditors under this Section 18 shall be
binding upon the Company and the Participant and shall be made within sixty (60)
days of the date when a Payment becomes payable or transferable. As promptly as
practicable following such determination and the elections hereunder, the
Company shall pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant such
amounts as are then due to him or her under the Plan and shall promptly pay or
transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant in the future such amounts as
become due to him or her under the Plan.
(d) Overpayments and Underpayments. As a result of uncertainty in the
application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial determination
by the Auditors hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by
the Company that should not have been made (an "Overpayment") or that additional
Payments that will not have been made by the Company could have been made (an
"Underpayment"), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced
Amount hereunder. In the event that the Auditors, based upon the assertion of a
deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the
Participant that the Auditors believe has a high probability of success,
determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment shall be treated
for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which he or she shall repay to the
Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in
Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be
payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent that such payment
would not reduce the amount subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Code.
In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such
Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Company to or for the
benefit of the Participant, together with interest at the applicable federal
rate provided in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.
(e) Related Corporations. For purposes of this Section 18, the term
"Company" shall include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the
Auditors in accordance with Section 280G(d)(5) of the Code.
-19-
<PAGE> 25
SECTION 19. NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS.
No provision of the Plan, nor any right or Option granted under the
Plan, shall be construed to give any person any right to become, to be treated
as, or to remain an Employee. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right
to terminate any person's Service at any time and for any reason, with or
without notice.
SECTION 20. DURATION AND AMENDMENTS.
(a) Term of the Plan. The amended and restated Plan, as set forth
herein, shall terminate automatically on ten years after its adoption and may be
terminated on any earlier date pursuant to Subsection (b) below.
(b) Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. The Board of Directors may
amend the Plan at any time and from time to time. Rights and obligations under
any Option granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be materially impaired
by such amendment, except with consent of the person to whom the Option was
granted. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the
Company's stockholders only to the extent required by applicable laws,
regulations or rules.
(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No Shares shall be issued or
sold under the Plan after the termination thereof, except upon exercise of an
Option granted prior to such termination. The termination of the Plan, or any
amendment thereof, shall not affect any Share previously issued or any Option
previously granted under the Plan.

TAX CONSEQUENCES RELATED TO YOUR INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION
THIS MEMORANDUM IS PROVIDED TO YOU MERELY AS A SERVICE AND IS NOT MEANT
TO ADVISE YOU AS TO YOUR PERSONAL TAX SITUATION. YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR
PERSONAL LEGAL OR TAX ADVISERS WITH RESPECT TO THE STATE AND FEDERAL INCOME TAX
TREATMENT OF PURCHASING AND DISPOSING OF YOUR STOCK.
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTIONS
Section 421 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") provides rules for
the tax treatment of "incentive stock options"("ISOs"), as that term is defined
by Section 422 of the Code.
ISO TAX TREATMENT - USUALLY NO TAX UNTIL YOU SELL YOUR STOCK
Your option is intended to be an ISO. If you hold the stock you are
purchasing under your option for more than two (2) years from the date of grant
and more than one (1) year from the date of exercise, upon any subsequent sale
or other disposition of such shares you will have capital gains or loss. Capital
gains are taxed at reduced rates if you held the shares for more than 1 year
(20% federal rate).
If you sell or dispose of the stock within two (2) years from the date
of grant or within 1 year from the date of exercise (a "disqualifying
disposition"), the special capital gains tax treatment of Code Section 421 will
not apply. Generally, in that event, you will recognize taxable ordinary income
in an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) the excess of the fair market value of
the shares at the time of exercise over the exercise price of the option, or
(ii) your actual gain on the purchase and sale. The gain (if any) in excess of
the amount of ordinary income recognized, or the loss (if any) will be a capital
gain or loss. An exception to this general rule applies if your stock is subject
to the company's repurchase right (see "Early Exercise" below).
ALTERNATIVE MINIMUM TAX - POTENTIAL TAX AT EXERCISE
The alternative minimum tax is a separately computed tax that is imposed
only if and to the extent it exceeds your regular tax for the taxable year.
Basically, the alternative minimum tax is an amount equal to twenty-six percent
(26%) of your "alternative minimum taxable income" for the year of up to
$175,000 and twenty-eight percent (28%) of any excess ($87,500 in the case of a
married individual filing a separate return). "Alternative minimum taxable
income" generally is determined by (i) reducing adjusted gross income by an
exemption amount ($45,000 for joint declarations and $33,750 for single
taxpayers, less $0.25 for each dollar of alternative minimum taxable income in
excess of $150,000 or $112,500, respectively) and certain specifically defined
deductions, and (ii) by adding to the amount so calculated certain tax
preference items and other adjustments.
As a general rule, when you exercise an ISO, the excess of the (1) fair
market value of the stock acquired on the date of exercise over (2) the exercise
price (the "spread") is added to your alternative minimum taxable income.
