Commission and do not reflect the Company's estimate or projection of future

dependent upon the future performance of the price of the Company's Common
Stock.
On December 9, 1994, Mr. Stata, Mr. Fishman, Mr. McAloon, Mr. McDonough and
Mr. Martin were each granted an option to purchase 135,000, 135,000, 52,500,
45,000 and 9,900 shares of Common Stock of the Company, respectively, at an
exercise price of $20.50, the fair market value per share on the date of grant.
The options granted to Messrs. Stata and Fishman first become exercisable in
their entirety on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The options
granted to Messrs. McAloon, McDonough and Martin are exercisable in equal annual
installments over three-year period commencing on the first anniversary of the
date of grant.

Delinquent Filing of Forms 4
Based solely on its review of copies of reports filed by reporting persons
of the Company pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or written representations from certain
reporting persons that no Form 5 filing was required for such person, the
Company believes that all filings required to be made by reporting persons of
the Company were timely made in accordance with the requirements of the Exchange
Act except that Mr. McAloon filed late a Form 4 for the month of March 1994.
SEVERANCE AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
The Company has Employee Retention Agreements (the "Agreements") with four
of its five current executive officers and with 23 additional key managers. The
Agreements are automatically extended on an annual basis unless the Company
provides at least three months' notice that the Agreements will not be extended.
The Agreements provide for severance benefits if either (i) the employment of
the employee is terminated by the Company (other than for cause or by reason of
his death or disability) or by the employee for Good Reason (as defined in the
Agreements) within 24 months after a Change in Control (as defined in the
Agreements) which is approved by the Board of Directors or (ii) the employment
of the employee terminates or is terminated for any reason (other than for cause
or by reason of his death or disability) within 12 months after a Change in
Control which is not approved by the Board of Directors. Each Agreement provides
that, in the event of a Potential Change in Control (as defined in the
Agreements), the employee shall not voluntarily resign as an employee, subject
to certain conditions, for at least six months after the occurrence of such
Potential Change in Control.
The Agreements provide for the following severance benefits: (i) a lump-sum
payment equal to 200% of the sum of the employee's annual base salary plus the
aggregate cash bonuses paid or awarded to him in respect of the four fiscal
quarters preceding his termination (299% in the case of seven of the 27
employees who are parties to such agreements, including Messrs. Stata, Fishman,
McAloon and McDonough), (ii) the continuation of life, disability, dental,
accident and group health insurance benefits for a period of 24 months and (iii)
reimbursement of legal fees and expenses incurred by the employee in seeking to
enforce his rights under his Agreement. In addition, to the extent that payments
to the employee pursuant to his Agreement (together with any other payments or
benefits, such as the accelerated vesting of stock options or restricted stock
awards, received by the employee in connection with a Change in Control) would
result in the triggering of the provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Agreement provides
for the payment of an additional amount (the "Tax Gross-Up Amount") such that
the employee receives, net of excise taxes, the amount he would have been
entitled to receive in the absence of the excise tax provided in Section 4999 of
the Code. Based on compensation levels as of December 31, 1994, each of Messrs.
Stata, Fishman, McAloon and McDonough and all current executive officers as a
group (including Messrs. Stata, Fishman, McAloon and McDonough), would be
entitled to receive a lump-sum payment of $2,912,164, $2,821,126, $1,207,192,
$1,048,278 and $7,988,760, respectively, under the Agreements. These amounts do
not include the Tax Gross-Up Amounts, which would substantially increase the
amounts payable under the Agreements, or the insurance or reimbursement
benefits.
The Company's Employee Change in Control Severance Policy and Senior
Management Change in Control Severance Policy provide each employee of the
Company (other than those who are party to the Agreements) with a lump-sum
severance payment, based on length of service with the Company, in the event of
the termination of his or her employment under certain circumstances within 18
months after a Change in Control (as defined in such policies). Such severance
payments range from a minimum of two weeks of annual base salary (for an hourly
employee with less than 90 days of service) to a maximum of 104 weeks of base
salary plus an amount equal to the aggregate cash bonuses paid or awarded to the
employee in respect of
9
<PAGE> 12
the four fiscal quarters preceding termination (for a senior management employee
with 21 years of service). Pursuant to the Senior Management Change in Control
Policy, Mr. Martin would be entitled to a lump-sum severance benefit of $165,077
based on his fiscal 1994 compensation.
On September 14, 1994, the Company amended the stock option grants and
restricted stock awards previously made to Mr. Fishman, the Company's President,
to provide that if the Company terminates Mr. Fishman's employment prior to
September 15, 1999 for any reason other than cause, death or disability, all
then unexercisable options and/or unvested restricted shares will become fully
exercisable and vested.
In addition to the foregoing agreements and policies, the Company's stock
option and restricted stock plans provide for immediate vesting of all
outstanding options and awards upon any Change in Control (as defined in such
plans) of the Company.
REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Company's executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain
and reward executives who are responsible for leading the Company in achieving
its business objectives. The Compensation Committee makes decisions each year
regarding executive compensation, including annual base salaries, bonus awards
and stock option grants and restricted stock awards. All executive officers are
reviewed by the full Board of Directors. This report is submitted by the
Compensation Committee and addresses the Compensation policies for fiscal 1994
as they affected Mr. Stata, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, and other executive officers of the Company.
Compensation Philosophy
The Company's executive compensation philosophy is based on the belief that
competitive compensation is essential to attract, motivate and retain highly
qualified and industrious employees. The Company's policy is to provide total
compensation that is competitive for comparable work and comparable corporate
performance. The compensation program includes both motivational and
retention-related compensation components. Bonuses are included to encourage
effective performance relative to current plans and objectives. Stock options
are included to help retain productive people and to more closely align their
interests with those of stockholders.
In executing its compensation policy, the Company seeks to relate
compensation with the Company's financial performance and business objectives,
reward high levels of individual performance and tie a significant portion of
total executive compensation to both the annual and long term performance of the
Company. While compensation survey data are useful guides for comparative
purposes, the Company believes that a successful compensation program also
requires the application of judgment and subjective determinations of individual
performance, and to that extent the Compensation Committee applies judgment in
reconciling the program's objectives with the realities of retaining valued
employees.
Executive Compensation Program
Annual compensation for the Company's executives consists of three
principal elements -- base salary, cash bonus and stock options and restricted
stock awards.
- - CASH COMPENSATION
Annual cash compensation consists of two elements -- base salary and bonus.
In setting the annual cash compensation for Company executives, the
Compensation Committee reviews compensation for comparable positions in a
group of approximately 20 companies selected by the Committee for
comparison
10
<PAGE> 13
purposes. Most of these companies are engaged in the manufacture and sale
of semiconductor devices, instruments and computer software. The Company
also regularly compares its pay practices with other leading companies
through reviews of survey and proxy data.
Increases in annual base salary are based on a review and evaluation of the
performance of the operation or activity for which the executive has
responsibility, the impact of that operation or activity on the Company and
the skills and experience required for the job, coupled with a comparison
of these elements with similar elements for other executives both within
and outside the Company.
The cash bonus is tied directly to financial performance targets approved
by the Board of Directors. The ratio of bonus ("variable" pay) to base
salary ("fixed" pay) varies significantly across the levels in the
organization to reflect the ability of the individual to impact the
performance of the Company and to absorb the risk of variable pay. The cash
bonus is dependent solely on corporate performance.
All of the Company's employees, including its executive officers,
participated in the Company's bonus plan (the "Bonus Plan") in fiscal 1994,
except those employees on commission plans or in some non-U.S. locations.
The purpose of the Bonus Plan is to recognize and reward the contribution
of all employees in achieving the Company's goals and objectives. In fiscal
1994 the Bonus Plan provided for the payment of a semi-annual cash bonus
based on the Company's attainment of specified Operating Profit Before
Taxes ("OPBT") levels. No bonus is payable if the Company's performance
falls below a predetermined OPBT threshold (3% of net sales in 1994). To
the extent OPBT exceeds this threshold, the bonus payments are increased.
Each employee, including executives, is assigned a Bonus Target, calculated
as a percentage of such employee's base earnings, determined by comparing
competitive data and position. Depending on OPBT levels achieved, the cash
bonus is paid as a multiple ("Bonus Factor") of the Bonus Target, ranging
from zero to a maximum of two.
- - EQUITY OWNERSHIP
Total compensation at the executive level also includes longterm incentives
afforded by stock options and restricted stock awards. The purpose of the
Company's stock ownership program is to (i) reinforce the mutuality of long
term interests between employees and the stockholders and (ii) to assist in
the attraction and retention of critically important key executives,
managers and individual contributors, mostly engineers, who are essential
to the Company's success.
The design of the Company's stock programs includes long vesting periods to
optimize the retention value of these options and to orient the Company's
managers to longer term success. Generally, stock options vest one-third
after three years from date of grant, two-thirds after four years and 100%
after five years. Restricted stock awards vest 100% after five years.
Generally, if employees leave the Company before these vesting periods,
they forfeit the unvested portions of these awards. While the Company
believes that these longer vesting periods are in the best interest of
stockholders, they tend to increase the number of options outstanding
compared to companies with shorter vesting schedules.
The size of stock option awards is generally intended to reflect the
significance of the executive's current and anticipated contributions to
the Company. The exercise price of options granted by the Company is set at
100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. Prior to
determining the December 1994 option grants to the Company's executives (as
described below), the Compensation Committee reviewed survey information of
the stock option programs of competitors and other companies with
comparable capitalizations. The value realizable from exercisable options
is dependent upon the extent to which the Company's performance is
reflected in the price of the Company's Common Stock at any particular
point in time. However, the decision as to whether such value will be
realized through the
11
<PAGE> 14
exercise of an option in any particular year is primarily determined by
each individual within the limits of the vesting schedule, and not by the
Compensation Committee.
The Company's 1991 Restricted Stock Plan provides for the award of
restricted stock for a nominal purchase price. Shares purchased under the
plan are subject, for a period of five years (the "Restricted Period"), to
certain restrictions upon transfer and provisions relating to forfeiture in
the event of termination of employment. If the employment of a recipient of
an award is terminated prior to the end of the Restricted Period for any
reason other than death or disability, all shares of Common Stock covered
by the award shall be offered promptly for resale by the recipient to the
Company at the original purchase price per share. Since the restricted
shares are issued at nominal consideration, the entire value of the shares
will constitute additional compensation to the individual at the time of
vesting.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Fiscal 1994 Compensation
Mr. Stata, in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is
eligible to participate in the same executive compensation program available to
the Company's other senior executives. The Compensation Committee has set Mr.
Stata's total annual compensation, including compensation derived from the
Company's bonus program and stock option program, at a level it believes to be
competitive with other companies in the industry.
During fiscal 1994, Mr. Stata's annual base salary was increased $26,000
from $520,000 to $546,000. He was awarded a fiscal 1994 bonus of $427,698 which
represented 132% of his Bonus Target (based on 60% of his base salary received
during fiscal 1994) and reflected the Company's attainment of 13.2% of OPBT for
the entire fiscal year.
Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
Section 162(m) of the Code, enacted in 1993, generally disallows a tax
deduction to public companies for compensation over one million dollars paid to
its chief executive officer and its four other most highly compensated executive
officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation will not be subject to the
deduction limit if certain requirements are met. The Company has, however,
limited the number of shares subject to stock options which may be granted to
Company employees in a manner that complies with the performance-based
requirements of Section 162(m). Based on Mr. Stata's and the other Named
Executive Officers' compensation, it does not appear that the Section 162(m)
limitation will have a significant impact on the Company in the near term. While
the Committee does not currently intend to qualify the Bonus Plan as a
performance-based plan, it will continue to monitor the impact of Section 162(m)
on the Company.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION
On December 7, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously
voted to recommend to the stockholders that the Company's Restated Articles of
Organization be amended to increase the number of authorized shares of Common
Stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000 shares. On November 29, 1994, the Board of
Directors also declared a three-for-two split of the issued shares of the
Company's Common Stock. The stock split was effected as a 50% Common Stock
dividend paid by the Company on January 4, 1995 to stockholders of record
December 12, 1994.
The authorized Common Stock of the Company currently consists of
150,000,000 shares, $.16 2/3 par value per share, of which 75,383,933 shares
were outstanding as of December 31, 1994, an additional approximately 13,365,000
shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's stock option plans,
stock purchase plans and other employee benefit plans, and an additional
52,620,977 shares were reserved for issuance upon exercise of Rights in
connection with the Company's Shareholder Rights Plan. The Board of Directors
believes that the authorization of additional shares of Common Stock is
desirable to provide shares for issuance in connection with possible future
stock dividends, future financings, joint ventures, acquisitions or other
general corporate purposes. However, there is no existing plan, understanding or
agreement for the issuance of any shares of Common Stock with the exception of
the shares of Common Stock available for issuance described above. If the
amendment is adopted by the stockholders, the Board of Directors will have
authority to issue shares of Common Stock without the necessity of further
stockholder action. Holders of the Common Stock have no preemptive rights with
respect to any shares which may be issued in the future.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors believes the adoption of this amendment is in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders and recommends a vote FOR the
adoption of this proposed amendment.
APPROVAL OF THE 1994 DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN
On December 7, 1994, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder
approval, the Company's 1994 Director Option Plan (the "1994 Director Plan").
Under the Director Plan, each existing non-employee director ("Nonemployee
Director") of the Company was granted on December 7, 1994, subject to
stockholder approval of the 1994 Director Plan, a non-statutory option to
purchase 5,250 shares of Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price equal
to the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant ($22.17). Each
newly elected Nonemployee Director will receive a non-statutory option for the
purchase of 5,250 shares of Common Stock on the date of his or her initial
election to the Board of Directors. Thereafter, each Nonemployee Director will
receive a non-statutory option to purchase 5,250 shares of Common Stock on the
first, second and third anniversaries (the "Anniversary Dates") of (i) December
7, 1994, in the case of Nonemployee Director serving on the Board of Directors
as of such date, and (ii) the date of the initial option grant in the case of
Nonemployee Director first elected to the Board of Directors after December 7,
1994. All options for the shares subject to the 1994 Director Plan shall be
granted, if at all, not later than ten years after the approval of the 1994
Director Plan by the stockholders.
The purpose of the 1994 Director Plan is to encourage ownership in the
Company by Nonemployee Directors whose continued services are considered
essential to the Company's future progress and to provide them with a further
incentive to remain as directors of the Company. The 1994 Director Plan will
replace the 1992 Director Plan. Following stockholder approval of the 1994
Director Plan, no additional options will be granted under the 1992 Director
Plan. The following is a summary of the principal terms of the 1994 Director
Plan.
14
<PAGE> 17
ADMINISTRATION; ELIGIBILITY AND NUMBER OF SHARES
The Board of Directors shall supervise and administer the 1994 Director
Plan. Directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company are eligible to participate in the 1994 Director Plan.
A total of 200,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock may be issued under the
1994 Director Plan which represented approximately 0.27% of the total shares
outstanding on December 31, 1994.
TERMS OF OPTIONS
Subject to stockholder approval of the 1994 Director Plan at the Meeting,
an option for the purchase of 5,250 shares of Common Stock was granted at the
close of business on December 7, 1994 to each of Messrs. Chang, Doyle, Fuller,
Lowe, McKeague, Moses and Thurow. Thereafter, an option for 5,250 shares of
Common Stock will be granted at the close of business on December 7, 1995, 1996
and 1997 to each Nonemployee Director who remains a director through such date
of grant. Mr. Fuller also received an option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common
Stock under the 1992 Director Plan upon his initial election to the Board of
Directors.
Each option granted under the 1994 Director Plan will have an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant
and will be exercisable on a cumulative basis in annual installments of 33 1/3%
each on the succeeding three anniversaries of the date of grant. Exercisability
of these options is conditioned upon continuous service as a director.
The exercise price of each such option may be paid in cash or check payable
to the order of the Company, by the delivery of Common Stock of the Company
already owned by the optionee having a fair market value equal in amount to the
exercise price of the options being exercised, or a combination of such methods
of payment. Each option granted is not transferable except by the laws of
descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as
defined in the Internal Revenue Code). If the optionee becomes disabled or dies
while serving as a director, the option will vest in full and the optionee or
his or her representative may exercise the option in full during the year
following his or her disability or death. If the optionee ceases to be a
director by reason of retirement of the optionee as a director at the retirement
age determined by the Company or by reason of the Company's failure to nominate
the optionee for reelection as a director (excluding such director's refusal to
serve as a director), each option granted under the 1994 Director Plan then held
by such director will be exercisable for the number of shares then vested and
exercisable plus the shares which would otherwise become vested and exercisable
at the next Anniversary Date. No option may be exercised more than ten years
after the date of grant.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Options granted under the 1994 Director Plan will be non-statutory stock
options. No taxable income is recognized by the optionee upon the grant of a
non-statutory stock option. Generally, the optionee must recognize as ordinary
income in the year in which the option is exercised the amount by which the fair
market value of the purchased shares on the date of exercise exceeds the option
price. The Company will be entitled to a business expense deduction equal to the
amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee. Any additional gain or any
loss recognized upon the subsequent disposition of the purchased shares will be
a capital gain or loss, and will be a long-term gain or loss if the shares are
held for one year or more.
AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
The Board of Directors may suspend or discontinue the 1994 Director Plan or
amend it in any respect; provided, however, that without approval of the
stockholders of the Company, the Board may not (i) change the number of shares
subject to the 1994 Director Plan, (ii) change the designation of the class of
directors
15
<PAGE> 18
eligible to receive options, or (iii) materially increase the benefits accruing
to participants under the 1994 Director Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
1994 Director Plan may not be amended more than once every six months.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors believes that the adoption and approval of the 1994
Director Plan is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and
recommends a vote FOR the approval of the 1994 Director Plan.
RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors, on the recommendation of its Audit Committee, has
selected the firm of Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors, as auditors of the
Company for the fiscal year ending October 28, 1995. Although stockholder
approval of the Board of Directors' selection of Ernst & Young LLP is not
required by law, the Board of Directors believes that it is advisable to give
stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. If this proposal is not
approved at the Meeting, the Board of Directors will reconsider its selection of
Ernst & Young LLP.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the
Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do
so and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from
stockholders.
OTHER MATTERS
The Board of Directors does not know of any other matters which may come
before the meeting. However, if any other matters are properly presented to the
meeting, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to
vote, or otherwise act, in accordance with their judgment on such matters.
All costs of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Company. In
addition to solicitations by mail, the Company's directors, officers and regular
employees, without additional remuneration, may solicit proxies by telephone,
telegraph and personal interviews. Brokers, custodians and fiduciaries will be
requested to forward proxy soliciting material to the owners of stock held in
their names. The Company will reimburse banks and brokers for their reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of proxy
materials.

(i) An option for the purchase of 5,250 shares of Common Stock shall
be granted automatically to each eligible director at the close of business
on the date the Plan is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company
(December 7, 1994), subject to shareholder approval of the Plan at the 1995
Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
(ii) Each eligible director who is first elected or appointed to serve
on the Board after December 7, 1994 shall be granted an option to purchase
5,250 shares of Common Stock upon such election or appointment.
(iii) Each such eligible director shall be granted an additional
option to purchase 5,250 shares of Common Stock upon each of the first,
second and third "Anniversary Dates" (as defined below) of the initial
option grant to such eligible director; provided that such person is an
eligible director on the applicable Anniversary Date.
(iv) The Anniversary Dates of an eligible director who was a member of
the Board of Directors on December 7, 1994 shall be December 7, 1995 and
successive anniversaries thereof. The Anniversary Dates of an eligible
director who is first elected or appointed to the Board of Directors after
December 7, 1994 shall be the date which is twelve (12) months after such
election or appointment and the successive anniversaries thereof.
(b) Option Exercise Price. The option exercise price per share for each
option granted under the Plan shall equal (i) the last reported sales price per
share of the Company's Common Stock, as listed on a nationally recognized
securities exchange, on the date of grant (or, if no such price is reported on
such date, such price as reported on the nearest preceding day); or (ii) the
fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board
of Directors, if the Common Stock is not publicly traded.
(c) Options Non-Transferable. Each option granted under the Plan by its
terms shall not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, or by
the laws of descent and distribution, or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order (as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code), and shall be
exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by him. No option or interest
therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the optionee
during his lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made
subject to execution, attachment or similar process.
(d) Exercise Period. Each option shall vest and be exercisable on a
cumulative basis as to one-third of the shares subject to such option on each of
the first, second and third Anniversary Dates of the grant of such option,
provided that, subject to the provisions of Sections 5(e) and 5(f), no option
may be exercised more than 90 days after the optionee ceases to serve as a
director of the Company and such option may then only be exercised for the
purchase of such number of shares as were vested and exercisable at the time of
such termination. No option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten
(10) years from the date of grant or prior to approval of the Plan by the
stockholders of the Company.
(e) Exercise Period Upon Retirement. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 5(d), in the event an optionee ceases to be a director by reason of
retirement of the optionee as a director at the retirement age determined by the
Company or by reason of the Company's failure to nominate the optionee for
reelection as a director (other than for such director's refusal to serve as a
director), each option then held by such director shall, at the time he or she
ceases to be a director, be exercisable for that number of shares of Common
Stock
2
<PAGE> 22
which equals the sum of (i) the shares which are then vested and exercisable and
(ii) the shares which would otherwise become vested and exercisable at the next
succeeding Anniversary Date.
(f) Exercise Period Upon Death or Disability. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 5(d), any option granted under the Plan:
(i) may be exercised in full by an optionee who becomes disabled
(within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code or any successor
provision thereto) while serving as a director of the Company; or
(ii) may be exercised
(x) in full upon the death of an optionee while serving as a
director of the Company, or
(y) to the extent then exercisable upon the death of an optionee
within 90 days of ceasing to serve as a director of the Company,
by the person to whom it is transferred by will, by the laws of descent and
distribution, or by written notice filed pursuant to Section 5(i);
in each such case within the period of one year after the date the optionee
ceases to be such a director by reason of such death or disability; provided,
that no option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from
the date of grant or prior to the approval of the Plan by the stockholders of
the Company.
(g) Exercise Procedure. Options may be exercised only by written notice to
the Company at its principal office accompanied by payment of the full
consideration for the shares as to which they are exercised.
(h) Payment of Purchase Price. Options granted under the Plan may provide
for the payment of the exercise price (i) by delivery of cash or a check to the
order of the Company in an amount equal to the exercise price of such options
or, (ii) to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement, by delivery
to the Company of shares of Common Stock of the Company already owned by the
optionee having a fair market value equal in amount to the exercise price of the
options being exercised, or (iii) by any combination of such methods of payment.
The fair market value of any shares of the Company's Common Stock which may be
delivered upon exercise of an option shall be determined by the Board of
Directors.
(i) Exercise by Representative Following Death of Director. A director, by
written notice to the Company, may designate one or more persons (and from time
to time change such designation) including his legal representative, who, by
reason of his death, shall acquire the right to exercise all or a portion of the
option. If the person or persons so designated wish to exercise any portion of
the option, they must do so within the term of the option as provided herein.
Any exercise by a representative shall be subject to the provisions of the Plan.
6. ASSIGNMENTS
The rights and benefits under the Plan may not be assigned except for the
designation of a beneficiary as provided in Section 5.
7. TIME FOR GRANTING OPTIONS
All options for shares subject to the Plan shall be granted, if at all, not
later than ten (10) years after the approval of the Plan by the Company's
stockholders.
3
<PAGE> 23
8. LIMITATION OF RIGHTS
(a) No Right to Continue as a Director. Neither the Plan, nor the granting
of an option nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall constitute
or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the
Company will retain a director for any period of time.
(b) No Stockholders' Rights for Options. An optionee shall have no rights
as a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by his options until the
date of the issuance to him of a stock certificate therefor, and no adjustment
will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to
the date such certificate is issued.
9. CHANGES IN COMMON STOCK
(a) If (x) the outstanding shares of Common Stock are exchanged for a
different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or (y)
the outstanding shares of Common Stock are increased or decreased as a result of
any recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend or stock split (except
for the 3-for-2 stock split approved by the Board of Directors on November 29,
1994, which has been reflected in the Plan as adopted by the Board of Directors
on December 7, 1994), reverse stock split or other similar transaction, an
appropriate and proportionate adjustment shall be made in (i) the maximum number
and kind of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, and (ii) the number and
kind of shares or other securities subject to then outstanding options under the
Plan and (iii) the price for each share subject to any then outstanding options
under the Plan, without changing the aggregate purchase price as to which such
options remain exercisable. No fractional shares will be issued under the Plan
on account of any such adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment
shall be made pursuant to this Section 9 if such adjustment would cause the Plan
to fail to comply with Rule 16b-3 or any successor rule promulgated pursuant to
Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(b) If any event occurs that would constitute a "Change of Control" within
the meaning of clause (iii) or (iv) of Section 10 below, the Board of Directors
of the Company, or the board of directors of any corporation assuming the
obligations of the Company, shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10, as
to outstanding options, take one or more of the following actions: (i) provide
that such options shall be assumed, or equivalent options shall be substituted,
by the acquiring or succeeding corporation (or an affiliate thereof), (ii) upon
written notice to the optionees, provide that all unexercised options will
terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction unless
exercised by the optionee within a specified period following the date of such
notice, or (iii) if, under the terms of a merger transaction, holders of the
Common Stock of the Company will receive upon consummation thereof a cash
payment for each share surrendered in the merger (the "Merger Price"), make or
provide for a cash payment to the optionees equal to the difference between (A)
the Merger Price times the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such
outstanding options (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of
the Merger Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding
options in exchange for the termination of such options.
10. CHANGE IN CONTROL
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Plan, in the
event of a Change of Control (as defined below), all options outstanding as of
the date such Change in Control occurs shall become exercisable in full, whether
or not exercisable in accordance with their terms. A "Change in Control" shall
occur or be deemed to have occurred only if any of the following events occur:
(i) any "person," as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (other than the Company, any
trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of
the Company, or any corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders
of the Company in substantially the same
4
<PAGE> 24
proportion as their ownership of stock of the Company) is or becomes the
"beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 50%
or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
securities; (ii) individuals who, as of July 1, 1992, constitute the Board of
Directors of the Company (as of the date thereof, the "Incumbent Board") cease
for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any
person becoming a director subsequent to the date thereof whose election, or
nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, was approved by a vote of
at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board (other
than an election or nomination of an individual whose initial assumption of
office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating
to the election of the directors of the Company, as such terms are used in Rule
14a-11 of Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) shall be,
for purposes of this Agreement, considered as though such person were a member
of the Incumbent Board; (iii) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger
or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than (A) a
merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the
Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting
securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after
such merger or consolidation or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to
implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no
"person" (as hereinabove defined) acquires more than 30% of the combined voting
power of the Company's then outstanding securities; or (iv) the stockholders of
the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an
agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all
of the Company's assets."
11. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
The Board of Directors may suspend or discontinue the Plan or review or
amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that without approval of
the stockholders of the Company no revision or amendment shall change the number
of shares subject to the Plan (except as provided in Section 9), change the
designation of the class of directors eligible to receive options, or materially
increase the benefits accruing to participants under the Plan. The Plan may not
be amended more than once in any six-month period.
12. WITHHOLDING
The Company shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind
otherwise due to the optionee any federal, state or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to any shares issued upon exercise
of options under the Plan.
13. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF THE PLAN
(a) Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the
Board of Directors, but no option granted under the Plan shall become
exercisable unless and until the Plan shall have been approved by the Company's
shareholders. If such shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve months
after the date of the Board's adoption of the Plan, all options granted under
the Plan shall terminate and no further options shall be granted under the Plan.
Amendments to the Plan not requiring shareholder approval shall become effective
when adopted by the Board of Directors; amendments requiring shareholder
approval (as provided in Section 11) shall become effective when adopted by the
Board of Directors, but no option granted after the date of such amendment shall
become exercisable (to the extent that such amendment to the Plan was required
to enable the Company to grant such option to a particular optionee) unless and
until such amendment shall have been approved by the Company's shareholders. If
such shareholder approval is not obtained within twelve months of the Board's
adoption of such amendment, any options granted on or after the
5
<PAGE> 25
date of such amendment shall terminate to the extent that such amendment to the
Plan was required to enable the Company to grant such option to a particular
optionee. Subject to this limitation, options may be granted under the Plan at
any time after the effective date and before the date fixed for termination of
the Plan.
(b) Termination. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with Section 9,
the Plan shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the close of business on the
day next preceding the fifth anniversary of the date of its approval by the
Company's stockholders, or (ii) the date on which all shares available for
issuance under the Plan shall have been issued pursuant to the exercise or
cancellation of options granted under the Plan. If the date of termination is
determined under (i) above, then options outstanding on such date shall continue
to have force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the instruments
evidencing such options.
14. NOTICE
Any written notice to the Company required by any of the provisions of the
Plan shall be addressed to the Treasurer of the Company and shall become
effective when it is received.
15. COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 16B-3
Transactions under the Plan are intended to comply with all applicable
conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successor promulgated pursuant to Section 16 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. To the extent any provision of the Plan or
action by the Board of Directors in administering the Plan fails to so comply,
it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed
advisable by the Board of Directors.
16. GOVERNING LAW
The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto
shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Approved by the Board of Directors
