Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan
The following summary describes the material features of the Amended and
Restated Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
The Plan contains two optional forms of incentive awards which may be used
at the sole discretion of the Stock Option Committee (the "Committee").
Incentive awards under the Plan may take the form of stock options or stock
appreciation rights ("SARs"). The stock options may be incentive stock options
("ISOs") intended to qualify for special tax treatment or non-qualified stock
options ("NQSOs").
The Committee will determine the eligible participants who will be granted
incentive awards, determine the amount and type of award, determine the terms
and conditions of awards, construe and interpret the Plan, and make all other
determinations with respect to the Plan, to the extent permitted by applicable
law.
7
<PAGE>
The Plan is a fifteen year program and will terminate on December 31,
2009, unless terminated sooner according to the terms of the Plan. The term of
each ISO and related tandem SAR is ten years and the term of each NQSO and
related tandem SAR is fifteen years, subject to earlier termination upon
termination of the optionee's employment or relationship with the Company.
The Committee may grant ISOs, NQSOs and tandem SARs to eligible
participants, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
At the time an option is exercised, shares of Common Stock may be
purchased using (1) cash; (2) shares of the Company's Common Stock owned by the
optionee for at least one year; (3) a "cashless exercise" procedure (whereby a
broker sells the shares or holds them as collateral for a margin loan, delivers
the option price to the Company, and delivers the remaining sale or loan
proceeds to the optionee); or (4) any combination of the foregoing or any other
method of payment which the Committee may allow.
There are 1,687,990 shares of the Company's Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the Plan. As of the Record Date, options to purchase an aggregate
of 1,616,347 shares were outstanding and 71,643 shares were available for future
grant.
Employment Agreements
Mr. Leonard A. Trugman has an amended and restated employment agreement
with the Company, effective as of August 1, 1992, which was subsequently amended
on July 20, 1994, September 1, 1994, April 29, 1998, and March 31, 1999 and ends
July 31, 2005 pursuant to which he has agreed to serve as Chairman of the Board,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Trugman's annual base
salary was $335,024 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1999. His annual base
salary for the fiscal year August 1, 1999 through July 29, 2000 is determined by
multiplying $335,024 by the greater of 5% or the increase in the Consumer Price
Index as of July 31, 1999 over the amount of such index as of August 1, 1998.
Mr. Trugman also receives a bonus each year equal to 5% of the Company's pre-tax
net income for such year. Mr. Trugman's agreement also provides for a deferred
compensation account whereby the Company shall deposit (a) $100,000 annually and
(b) after receipt of the Company's audited financial statements with respect to
each fiscal year, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $25,000 or (y) 5% of the
Company's pre-tax net income for such fiscal year less $100,000. Mr. Trugman's
deferred compensation account balance pursuant to his employment agreement was
$1,070,333 as of July 31, 1999. At the expiration of the employment agreement,
or in the event Mr. Trugman's employment is terminated for any reason
whatsoever, other than for cause or total disability, Mr. Trugman, at his sole
option, may elect to be engaged by the Company as a consultant for a term of
five years. Mr. Trugman's annual consulting compensation for the first year of
the consulting term shall be equal to (i) his base salary for the final year of
his employment agreement ("Last Base Salary") or (ii) his base salary in effect
upon his termination ("Termination Base Salary"), whichever is applicable. Mr.
Trugman's consulting compensation for the second through fifth year of the
consulting term shall be adjusted annually by multiplying the Last Base Salary
or the Termination Base Salary, as the case may be, by an applicable percentage
ranging from 92% in the second year to 61% in the fifth year.
Mr. Trugman is also entitled to compensation in the event of a change of
control of the Company and his employment is terminated for any reason
whatsoever. Such compensation shall be an amount equal to three times (x) the
base salary to be paid to Mr. Trugman for the fiscal year in which such
termination occurs, plus (y) the guaranteed bonus paid to Mr. Trugman for the
immediately preceding year, plus (z) the amount credited to the deferred
compensation account for the immediately preceding fiscal year, but in no event
in an aggregate amount greater than the maximum allowed pursuant to governing
law. Such payment must be made within 90 days after the change of control. The
employment agreement contains confidentiality provisions and a non-compete
provision for a term of one year after the termination of Mr. Trugman's
employment.
Directors of the Company did not receive compensation for their services,
as such, except a fee of $1,000.00 for each meeting of the Board of Directors
which they attended. Messrs. Trugman and Rubin waived their right to receive
such compensation.

Stock Purchase Plan
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan which is funded by payroll
deductions. Shares acquired pursuant to such plan by employees of the Company
are purchased in the open market by the custodian of the plan. The Company
administers such plan and pays all brokerage commissions incurred in connection
with such plan. All shares so purchased are held in street name until they are
issued semi-annually or until an employee requests that the shares to which he
is entitled, or a portion thereof, be issued to him. Substantially all employees
of the Company are eligible to participate in such plan.
Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plan
The Company has a defined benefit pension plan which provides retirement
benefits for some full time employees ("Participants"). Effective February 1,
1986, the plan was frozen so that future salary increases are not considered in
determining a Participant's pension benefit, contributions by Participants are
no longer permitted and participation in the plan is limited to those
Participants as of August 1, 1984. Pursuant to the plan, Participants will
receive a benefit, computed by an actuary at retirement based upon their number
of years of credited service and average total annual compensation during five
consecutive years of their service, reduced by a portion of their benefits under
social security. The Company continues to fund the plan with contributions
determined on an actuarial basis.
The following table illustrates, for representative average annual covered
compensation and years of credited service classifications, the estimated annual
retirement benefits payable to employees under this plan upon retirement at age
65 based on the plan's normal form of benefit and social security benefits
frozen as of August 1, 1984. Benefits under the plan are limited to the extent
required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

The executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table do not
participate in the plan. During the fiscal year ended July 29, 1995, the Pension
Plan was submitted to the Internal Revenue Service and a favorable determination
letter was received.
401(k) Plan and Profit Sharing Plan
The Company has a 401(k) plan under which employees may elect to defer a
portion of their annual compensation. Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc.
("Merrill Lynch") is the plan administrator. All employees with over 90 days of
service and over the age of 21 may elect to defer from 2% to 15% of their annual
salary. The plan is administered by Merrill Lynch and employees may elect where
their deferred salary will be invested. Highly compensated employees' salary
deferrals are limited by the contribution levels of all other eligible
participants. Distributions are made at retirement or upon termination of
employment. During the fiscal year ended July 29, 1995 the plan was submitted to
the Internal Revenue Service and a favorable determination letter was received.
On February 1, 1986 the Company initiated a profit sharing plan as part of
the 401(k) plan which allows substantially all of the Company's employees to
participate in the profits of the Company, regardless of whether
9
<PAGE>
or not the employee elected to contribute to the 401(k) plan in any year. Since
the profit sharing plan is part of the 401(k) plan, eligibility, participation
and other requirements are governed by the provisions of the 401(k) plan.
Contributions to the plan are determined based upon the Company's sales volume
and pre-tax profits. There was a $50,000 contribution for the period ended July
31, 1999.
REPORT OF THE DEL GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES CORP.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of
the Company determines the Company's executive compensation policies. The
Committee is comprised of two non-employee Directors. After evaluating the
performance of the Company and its executive officers, the Committee recommends
compensation programs and salary levels to the entire Board of Directors for
approval. Set forth below is a report submitted by the Committee addressing the
Company's compensation policies for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1999 as they
affected the executive officers of the Company.
Compensation Philosophy
The goals of the executive compensation program are to attract, retain and
award executive officers who contribute to the success of the Company.
Compensation opportunities are aligned with the Company's business objectives.
The compensation programs are designed to motivate executive officers to meet
annual corporate performance goals and enhance long-term stockholder value.
In designing and administering the executive compensation program, the
Committee strives to balance short and long-term incentive objectives and use
prudent judgment in establishing performance criteria, evaluating performance
and determining actual incentive awards. The Committee believes that stock
ownership by executive officers is beneficial in aligning the common interests
of management and stockholders to enhance stockholder value.
Components of Executive Compensation
The three components of the Company's executive compensation program are
base salary, annual bonus and stock option grants. These three elements are
structured by the Committee, in conjunction with the Company's stock option
committee which is comprised of two other non-employee Directors, to
cumulatively provide the Company's executive officers with levels of total
compensation consistent with the Company's executive compensation philosophy
described above.
The Company's executive salary levels are intended to be consistent with
competitive salary levels and job responsibilities of each executive. Salary
increases reflect competitive and economic trends, the overall financial
performance of the Company and the performance of the individual executive.
Factors considered in gauging the Company's overall financial performance
include the Company's revenues and profits.
Relationship of Company Performance to Executive Compensation
The Committee takes into account the executives' performance in special
projects undertaken during the past fiscal year, contribution to strategic
acquisitions and development of new products, marketing strategies,
manufacturing efficiencies and other factors. In addition, in determining
executive compensation the Committee also considers the contributions of each
executive officer to the growth in pre-tax earnings of the Company over the last
fiscal year.
Satisfaction of certain performance criteria (including initiative,
contribution to overall corporate performance and managerial ability) is
evaluated after informal discussions with other members of the Board and, for
all of the executives other than Mr. Trugman, after discussions with Mr.
Trugman.
10
<PAGE>
Compensation of Chief Executive Officer
In addition to the factors mentioned above, the Committee's general
approach in setting Mr. Trugman's annual compensation is to seek to be
competitive with other companies in the Company's industry and to reward Mr.
Trugman's strategic management abilities in directing the Company's expansion
efforts and its development and exploitation of new markets, growth of its
international business and new business opportunities.
Mr. Trugman's annual base salary for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1999
was $335,024, an increase of $15,954 over his previous annual salary of
$319,070. Such increase reflects Mr. Trugman's base salary pursuant to his
employment agreement, effective as of August 1, 1992, which was subsequently
amended on July 20, 1994, September 1, 1994, April 29, 1998 and March 31, 1999.
Mr. Trugman's base salary, bonus and deferred compensation for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1999 was $940,461 as compared to $871,809 for the previous fiscal
year. Such agreement provides for future base salary increases in an amount
equal to the greater of a 5% increase or the increase in the Consumer Price
Index. The annual bonus paid to Mr. Trugman for the fiscal year ended July 31,
1999 was equal to 5% of the Company's pre-tax net income for such year. Mr.
Trugman's deferred compensation account payment for the fiscal year ended July
31, 1999 was $125,000 which represents approximately 1.3% of the Company's
pre-tax earnings for such fiscal year. Such payment was based upon Mr. Trugman's
employment agreement which provides that the Company shall deposit (a) $100,000
annually and (b) after receipt of the Company's audited financial statements
with respect to each fiscal year, an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $25,000
or (y) 5% of the Company's pre-tax net income for such fiscal year less
$100,000.

PROPOSAL TWO: PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE COMPANY'S
AMENDED AND RESTATED STOCK OPTION PLAN TO INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER
At the Meeting, the stockholders will be asked to approve an amendment to
the Company's Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") to increase by
750,000 the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance thereunder.
There are 1,687,990 shares of the Company's Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the Plan, exclusive of the 750,000 shares subject to stockholder
approval at the Meeting. Upon approval of the amendment, 2,437,990 shares of the
Company's Common Stock will be reserved for issuance under the Plan. As of the
Record Date, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,616,347 shares were
outstanding and 71,643 shares, exclusive of the 750,000 shares subject to
stockholder approval at the Meeting, were available for future grant. The
purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its
stockholders by providing officers, key management employees and other eligible
participants with financial incentives tied directly to the Company's long term
business objectives. The Board of Directors believes that the remaining shares
available for grant under the Plan are insufficient to accomplish these
purposes.
Approval of the amendment requires the affirmative vote of the holders of
a majority of the shares of Common Stock represented at the Meeting.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to amend the
Plan.
The following summary describes the features of the Plan.
Types of Incentive Awards. The Plan contains two optional forms of
incentive awards which may be used at the sole discretion of the Stock Option
Committee (the "Committee"). Incentive awards under the Plan may take the form
of stock options or stock appreciation rights ("SARs"). The stock options may be
incentive stock options ("ISOs") intended to qualify for special tax treatment
or non-qualified stock options ("NQSOs").
The type of incentive award being granted, as well as the terms and
conditions of the award, will be determined by the Committee at the time of
grant.
Eligibility. All officers of the Company are eligible to participate in
the Plan. Also eligible to participate, if so identified by the Committee, are
officers of wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, other key management
employees of the Company or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, other
employees or consultants of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the
Company, and other persons whose participation in the Plan is deemed by the
Committee to be in the best interests of the Company. The existing Stock Option
Plan permits participation by officers, employees and consultants of the
Company.
Administration of the Plan. The Committee will determine the eligible
participants who will be granted incentive awards, determine the amount and type
of award, determine the terms and conditions of awards, construe and interpret
the Plan, and make all other determinations with respect to the Plan, to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
Duration of the Plan. The Plan is a fifteen year program and will
terminate on December 31, 2009, unless terminated sooner according to the terms
of the Plan.
Stock Option Plan. The Committee may grant ISOs, NQSOs and tandem SARs to
eligible participants, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.
Stock Options. ISOs allow the optionee to buy a certain number of shares
of the Company's Common Stock at an option price equal to the market price at
the time the option is granted. NQSOs allow the optionee to buy a certain number
of shares of the Company's Common Stock at an option price equal to, more than,
or less than the market price at the time the option is granted. An option may
not be exercised until the right to do so has vested under a schedule approved
by the Committee. The vesting schedule generally approved by the Committee
generally provides that one-quarter of the options may be exercised on or after
the first anniversary of the date of grant, one-half on or after the second
anniversary, three-quarters on or after the third anniversary and 100 percent on
or after the fourth anniversary.
13
<PAGE>
Tandem SARs. At the discretion of the Committee, options may be granted
with or without tandem SARs which permit an optionee to surrender an option or a
portion thereof in exchange for a cash payment equal to the difference between
the current market value of the stock and the option price. A tandem SAR is
subject to the same terms and conditions as the related option, except that it
may be exercised only when the market value exceeds the option price. In
addition, executive officers of the Company and other participants who are
subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may exercise SARs
only during certain quarterly window periods.
Payment for Shares Upon Exercise of Stock Options. At the time an option
is exercised, shares of Common Stock may be purchased using (1) cash; (2) shares
of the Company's Common Stock owned by the optionee for at least one year; (3) a
"cashless exercise" procedure (whereby a broker sells the shares or holds them
as collateral for a margin loan, delivers the option price to the Company, and
delivers the remaining sale or loan proceeds to the optionee); or (4) any
combination of the foregoing or any other method of payment which the Committee
may allow, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Term of Options and Tandem SARs. The term of each ISO and related tandem
SAR is ten years and the term of each NQSO and related tandem SAR is fifteen
years, subject to earlier termination as described below.
Termination of Employment or Relationship with the Company. Upon
termination of the optionee's employment or relationship with the Company, any
unexercised options shall be cancelled and terminated immediately, except that
any unexercised options which are vested may be exercised during the balance of
their term or within nine months of termination, whichever is shorter. If an
optionee is terminated for cause or discharged, any unexercised options shall be
terminated immediately. In the event of a termination by reason of retirement by
reason of death or disability, or by reason of a divestiture or change in
control of the Company, special rules allow the optionee to exercise all vested
and unvested options within certain time periods after termination.
Adjustments Upon Changes in Number or Value of Shares of Common Stock. In
order to prevent enlargement or dilution of rights resulting from stock
dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, or other
events that materially increase or decrease the number or value of shares of the
Company's Common Stock, the Committee may adjust (1) the number of shares of
Common Stock available for future grants of incentive awards under the Plan, (2)
the number of shares represented by outstanding awards, and (3) the price of
those shares.
Non-Transferability of Options. Options shall not be transferable
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and, subject
to the Committee's discretion, generally may be exercised during the lifetime of
the recipient only by the recipient.
Change in Control. Unless the Committee determines that a change in
control (as defined in the Plan) is in the best interests of stockholders of the
Company and will not adversely impact the recipients of incentive awards under
the Plan, (1) any time periods relating to the exercise or realization of any
incentive award shall be accelerated so that such award may be exercised or
realized in full immediately upon the change in control, and (2) the Committee
may offer recipients the option of having the Company purchase their awards for
an amount of cash which could have been attained upon the exercise or
realization of such awards if they had been fully exercisable or realizable.
Amendment and Termination of the Plan and Options. The Board of Directors
or the Committee may at any time suspend, terminate, modify or amend the Plan in
any respect. However, stockholder approval of amendments shall be obtained in
the manner and to the degree required by applicable laws or regulations. The
Committee also has broad discretion to amend or modify the terms and conditions
of any incentive award or cancel or annul any grant of an award, subject to
certain restrictions.
Funding. Inasmuch as the Plan is designed to encourage financial
performance and to improve the value of stockholders' investment in the Company,
the costs of the Plan will be funded from corporate earnings.
Federal Income Tax Consequences. The following summary of federal income
tax consequences does not purport to be a complete statement of the law in this
area. Furthermore, the discussion below does not cover the tax consequences of
the Plan (or the grant or exercise of options thereunder) under state and/or
other local
14
<PAGE>
tax laws, and such tax laws may not correspond to the federal tax treatment
described herein. Accordingly, individuals eligible to receive options under the
Plan should consult with their personal tax advisors prior to engaging in any
transactions under the Plan.
The characterization of income as either ordinary income or capital gain
is still required by the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), and may have important
tax consequences to participants under the Plan in some situations. Therefore,
the following summary continues to characterize income from various transactions
as either ordinary income or capital gain.
Incentive Stock Options. In general, an option holder will not be treated
as receiving taxable income upon either the grant or exercise of an option which
qualifies as an ISO, and the option holder generally will receive capital gain
or loss treatment, as the case may be, upon the sale of the shares acquired upon
the exercise of an ISO, if certain conditions relating to employment
requirements and holding period requirements under Section 422 of the IRC are
satisfied. Under most circumstances, the shares of Common Stock acquired
pursuant to the exercise of an ISO (a) must not be sold or otherwise disposed of
for two years from the date of the grant of such option, and (b) must be held
for at least one year after the transfer of such stock to the option holder upon
exercise of the option. (Neither of such holding periods apply to the
disposition of shares by the option holder's estate or the option holder's heirs
after death.)
If shares acquired upon exercise of an ISO are disposed of in violation of
holding period requirements described above (a "Disqualifying Disposition"), the
option holder generally will recognize ordinary income in the year of such
Disqualifying Disposition in an amount equal to the difference between (a) the
option exercise price, and (b) the lesser of (i) the amount realized on such
disposition or (ii) the fair market value of such shares as of the date of
exercise of the option under which the shares were acquired. Any gain realized
on a Disqualifying Disposition in excess of such ordinary income amount
generally will be treated as capital gain (short term or long-term depending on
the option holder's holding period with respect to such shares).
In the case of ISOs, the excess of the fair market value of the stock as
of the exercise date over the option exercise price is included in alternative
minimum taxable income in the year of exercise, and thus may be subject to the
alternative minimum tax.
Non-Qualified Stock Options. In general, there are no tax consequences to
the option holder upon the grant of a NQSO, but upon exercise the option holder
generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the
purchase price paid for the shares on exercise of the option and the fair market
value of such shares as of the date of exercise. However, a special rule (the
"Section 16(b) Deferral Rule") applies in the case of option holders (generally
officers, directors and 10% stockholders) who are subject to Section 16(b) of
the Exchange Act (under which an "insider's" profit on the purchase and sale or
sale and purchase within less than six months of equity securities of the issuer
may be recovered by the issuer). Under the Section 16(b) Deferral Rule, such
ordinary income attributable to the exercise of a NQSO generally will not be
recognized until the expiration of the period during which a sale of the stock
could subject the option holder to suit under Section 16(b), with the amount of
such ordinary income being measured by the fair market value of the stock at the
expiration of such period (the "Section 16(b) Expiration Date").
The Section 16(b) Deferral Rule can be waived by an option holder if he or
she makes a timely election (generally, within 30 days following exercise) under
Section 83(b) of the IRC to recognize ordinary income at the time of exercise of
the NQSO.
An option holder's tax basis in shares acquired on exercise of a NQSO
generally will be equal to the exercise price paid for such shares by the option
holder plus the amount of income recognized by the option holder by reason of
his or her exercise of the option under the rules described above. Upon a
subsequent disposition of the shares received on exercise of a NQSO, the
difference between the amount realized on such disposition and the option
holder's tax basis for such shares generally will be treated as a capital gain
or loss, which will be short term or long-term depending on whether the shares
are held for the applicable long-term holding period following exercise of the
option. However, in the case of an option holder who is subject to the Section
16(b) Deferral Rule described above and who does not waive such rule by filing
an election under Section 83(b) of the IRC, such option holder's capital gain
holding period generally will not commence until the Section 16(b) Expiration
Date.
15
<PAGE>
Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights. There will be no federal income tax
consequences to either the optionee or the Company upon the grant of a tandem
SAR or during the period that the unexercised right remains outstanding. Upon
the exercise of a tandem SAR, the amount received will be taxable to the
optionee as ordinary income and the Company will be entitled to a corresponding
deduction.
Use of Common Stock to Pay Exercise Price. Subject to the provisions of
the Plan, an option holder may be permitted to use shares of the Company's
Common Stock (previously acquired by the option holder) to pay the exercise
price under an ISO or a NQSO. The option holder should consult with his or her
personal tax advisor to review the tax consequences of delivering shares of
Common Stock to exercise stock options. If an individual exercises a NQSO by
delivering other shares, the individual will not recognize gain or loss with
respect to the exchanged shares, even if their then fair market value is
different from the individual's tax basis in such shares. The individual,
however, will be taxed as described above with respect to the exercise of the
NQSO as if the individual had paid the exercise price in cash, and the Company
generally will be entitled to an equivalent tax deduction. Provided the
individual receives a separate identifiable stock certificate therefor, the
individual's tax basis in that number of shares received on such exercise, which
is equal to the number of shares surrendered on such exercise, will be equal to
the individual's tax basis in the shares surrendered and the individual's
holding period for such number of shares received will include the individual's
holding period for the shares surrendered. The individual's tax basis and
holding period for the additional shares received on exercise of a NQSO paid
for, in whole or in part, with shares will be the same as if the individual had
exercised the NQSO solely for cash. It should be noted, however, that the use by
an option holder of Common Stock acquired through the previous exercise of an
ISO to pay the exercise price under another ISO will be treated as a
Disqualifying Disposition of the previously acquired Common Stock if the
applicable holding period requirements have not yet been satisfied with respect
to such previously acquired stock. In such circumstances, the option holder will
be taxed as if such previously acquired shares had been sold (in a Disqualifying
Disposition) for their fair market value as of the date on which they are used
to pay the exercise price under such other ISO.
Company Deductions. In general, the Company will not be entitled to any
deductions with respect to ISOs granted under the Plan. However, if an employee
is required to recognize ordinary income upon a Disqualifying Disposition of
stock acquired under the Plan, then the Company generally will be allowed a
deduction to the extent of such ordinary income. In that regard, the Company may
require any option holder disposing of stock in a Disqualifying Disposition to
notify the Company of such disposition. In the case of NQSOs, the Company
generally will be entitled to a deduction in an amount equal to the ordinary
income recognized by the option holder upon exercise of such option (or as of
the Section 16(b) Expiration Date if the Section 16(b) Deferral Rule applies).
Withholdings and Information Reports. The Company generally is required to
make applicable federal payroll withholdings with respect to compensation income
recognized by employees under the Plan. Such withholdings ordinarily will be
accomplished by withholding the required amount from other cash compensation due
from the Company to the employee, by having the employee pay to the Company the
required withholding amount, or by such other permissible methods as the Company
may deem appropriate. Whether or not such withholdings are required, the Company
will make such information reports to the Internal Revenue Service as may be
required with respect to any income (whether or not that of an employee)
attributable to transactions involving the Plan.
