Item 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not Applicable.
Item 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not Applicable.
Item 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that
eliminates the personal liability of its directors to the Registrant or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to
the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law,
(iii) under section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, the Bylaws of the Registrant provide that (i) the Registrant is required
to indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law; (ii) the Registrant may,
in its discretion, indemnify other officers, employees and agents as set
forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law; (iii) upon receipt of an
undertaking to repay such advances, if indemnification is determined to be
unavailable, the Registrant is required to advance expenses, as incurred, to
its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by the
Delaware General Corporation Law in connection with a proceeding (except if a
determination is reasonably and promptly made by the Board of Directors by a
majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the
proceeding or, in certain circumstances, by independent legal counsel in a
written opinion that the facts known to the decision-making party demonstrate
clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner
that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation); (iv) the rights conferred in the Bylaws are
not exclusive and the Registrant is authorized to enter into indemnification
agreements with its directors, officers, employees and agents; (v) the
Registrant
<PAGE>
may not retroactively amend the Bylaw provisions relating to indemnity; and
(vi) to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law,
a director or executive officer will be deemed to have acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the Registrant, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful, if his or her action is based on the records or books
of account of the corporation or on information supplied to him or her by
officers of the corporation in the course of their duties or on the advice of
legal counsel for the corporation or on information or records given or
reports made to the corporation by independent certified public accountants
or appraisers or other experts.
The Registrant's policy is to enter into indemnification agreements with
each of its directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements
provide that directors and executive officers will be indemnified and held
harmless to the fullest extent permitted by law including against all expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and settlement amounts paid or
reasonably incurred by them in any action, suit or proceeding, including any
derivative action by or in the right of the Registrant, on account of their
services as directors, officers, employees or agents of the Registrant or as
directors, officers, employees or agents of any other company or enterprise when
they are serving in such capacities at the request of the Registrant. The
Registrant will not be obligated pursuant to the agreements to indemnify or
advance expenses to an indemnified party with respect to proceedings or claims
(i) initiated by the indemnified party and not by way of defense, except with
respect to a proceeding authorized by the Board of Directors and successful
proceedings brought to enforce a right to indemnification under the
indemnification agreement, (ii) for any amounts paid in settlement of a
proceeding unless the Registrant consents to such settlement; (iii) on account
of any suit in which judgment is rendered against the indemnified party for an
accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by the indemnified party of
securities of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the
Exchange Act and related laws; (iv) on account of conduct by a director that is
finally adjudged to have been in bad faith or conduct that the director did not
reasonably believe to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the
Registrant; (v) on account of any criminal action or proceeding arising out of
conduct that the director had reasonable cause to believe was unlawful; or (vi)
if a final decision by a court having jurisdiction in the matter shall determine
that such indemnification is not lawful.
The indemnification agreements also provide for contribution in certain
situations in which the Registrant and a director or executive officer are
jointly liable but indemnification is unavailable, such contribution to be based
on the relative benefits received and the relative fault of the Registrant and
the director or executive officer. Contribution is not allowed in connection
with a Section 16(b) judgment, and adjudication of bad faith or conduct that a
director or executive officer did not reasonably believe to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interest of the Registrant, or a proceeding arising out of
conduct a director or executive officer had reasonable cause to believe was
unlawful.
The indemnification agreements require a director or executive officer
to reimburse the Registrant for all expenses advanced only to the extent it
is ultimately determined that the director or executive officer is not
entitled, under Delaware law, the Bylaws, an indemnification agreement or
otherwise to be indemnified for such expenses. The indemnification
agreements provide that they are not exclusive of any rights a director or
executive officer may have under the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws,
other agreements, any majority-in-interest vote of the stockholders or vote
of disinterested directors, Delaware law or otherwise.
The indemnification provision in the Bylaws, and the indemnification
agreements entered into between the Registrant and its directors and executive
officers, may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the
Registrant's executive officers and directors for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act.
<PAGE>
As authorized by the Bylaws, the Registrant, with approval by the Board,
has purchased director and officer liability insurance.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or
the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or
decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
<PAGE>
aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the
plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
Registration Statement or any material change to such
information in the Registration Statement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do
not apply if the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial BONA FIDE offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial BONA
FIDE offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the provisions discussed in Item 6 hereof, or otherwise,
the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered hereby, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the
matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

1992 Equity Incentive Plan
<PAGE>
MACROMEDIA, INC.
1992 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
As Adopted September 23, 1992
and Amended Through April 1, 1998
1. PURPOSE. The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to attract,
retain and motivate eligible persons whose present and potential contributions
are important to the success of the Company, its Parent, Subsidiaries and
Affiliates, by offering them an opportunity to participate in the Company's
future performance through awards of Options, Restricted Stock and Stock
Bonuses. Capitalized terms not defined in the text are defined in Section 24.
2. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
2.1 NUMBER OF SHARES AVAILABLE. Subject to Sections 2.2 and 18, the
total number of Shares reserved and available for grant and issuance pursuant to
the Plan shall be 13,300,000 Shares. Any Shares issuable upon exercise of
options granted pursuant to the Authorware 1988 Stock Option Plan, the
Macromind, Inc. 1989 Incentive Stock Option Plan and 1989 Nonstatutory Stock
Option Plan, and the Paracomp, Inc. 1989 Stock Option Plan (the "PRIOR PLANS")
that expire or become unexercisable for any reason without having been exercised
in full, shall no longer be available for distribution under the Prior Plans,
but shall be available for distribution under this Plan. Subject to Sections
2.2 and 18, Shares shall again be available for grant and issuance in connection
with future Awards under the Plan that: (a) are subject to issuance upon
exercise of an Option but cease to be subject to such Option for any reason
other than exercise of such Option, (b) are subject to an Award granted
hereunder but are forfeited or are repurchased by the Company at the original
issue price, or (c) are subject to an Award that otherwise terminates without
Shares being issued.
2.2 ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. In the event that the number of
outstanding Shares is changed by a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock
split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration,
then (a) the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (b) the
Exercise Prices of and number of Shares subject to outstanding Options, and (c)
the number of Shares subject to other outstanding Awards shall be
proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or the
stockholders of the Company and compliance with applicable securities laws;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that fractions of a Share shall not be issued but shall
either be paid in cash at Fair Market Value or shall be rounded up to the
nearest Share, as determined by the Committee; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the
Exercise Price of any Option may not be decreased to below the par value of the
Shares.
3. ELIGIBILITY. ISOs (as defined in Section 5 below) may be granted
only to employees (including officers and directors who are also employees)
of the Company or of a Parent or Subsidiary of the Company. All other Awards
may be granted to employees, officers, directors, consultants, independent
contractors and advisers of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company; PROVIDED such consultants, contractors and advisers
render bona fide services not in connection with the offer and sale of
securities in a capital-raising transaction. No "Named Executive Officer"
(as that term is defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1992 Equity Incentive Plan
As Amended Through April 1, 1998
Page 2
promulgated under the Exchange Act) shall be eligible to receive more than
1,800,000 Shares at any time during the term of this Plan pursuant to the grant
of Awards hereunder. A person may be granted more than one Award under the
Plan.
4. ADMINISTRATION.
4.1 COMMITTEE AUTHORITY. The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee or the Board acting as the Committee. Subject to the general
purposes, terms and conditions of the Plan, and to the direction of the Board,
the Committee shall have full power to implement and carry out the Plan. The
Committee shall have the authority to:
(a) construe and interpret the Plan, any Award Agreement and any other
agreement or document executed pursuant to the Plan;
(b) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to
the Plan;
(c) select persons to receive Awards;
(d) determine the form and terms of Awards;
(e) determine the number of Shares or other consideration subject to
Awards;
(f) determine whether Awards will be granted singly, in combination,
in tandem, in replacement of, or as alternatives to, other Awards
under the Plan or any other incentive or compensation plan of the
Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;
(g) grant waivers of Plan or Award conditions;
(h) determine the vesting, exercisability and payment of Awards;
(i) correct any defect, supply any omission, or reconcile any
inconsistency in the Plan, any Award or any Award Agreement;
(j) determine whether an Award has been earned; and
(k) make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan.
4.2 COMMITTEE DISCRETION. Any determination made by the Committee
with respect to any Award shall be made in its sole discretion at the time of
grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan
or Award, at any later time, and such determination shall be final and binding
on the Company and all persons having an interest in any Award under the Plan.
The Committee may delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority
to grant an Award under the Plan to Participants who are not Insiders of the
Company.

As Amended Through April 1, 1998
Page 3
4.3 COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 162(m). If two or more members of
the Board are Outside Directors, the Committee shall be comprised of at least
two members of the Board, all of whom are Outside Directors.
5. OPTIONS. The Committee may grant Options to eligible persons and
shall determine whether such Options shall be Incentive Stock Options within the
meaning of the Code ("ISOs") or Nonqualified Stock Options ("NQSOs"), the number
of Shares subject to the Option, the Exercise Price of the Option, the period
during which the Option may be exercised, and all other terms and conditions of
the Option, subject to the following:
5.1 FORM OF OPTION GRANT. Each Option granted under the Plan shall
be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall expressly identify the Option as
an ISO or NQSO ("STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT"), and be in such form and contain such
provisions (which need not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee
shall from time to time approve, and which shall comply with and be subject to
the terms and conditions of the Plan.
5.2 DATE OF GRANT. The date of grant of an Option shall be the date
on which the Committee makes the determination to grant such Option, unless
otherwise specified by the Committee. The Stock Option Agreement and a copy of
the Plan will be delivered to the Participant within a reasonable time after the
granting of the Option.
5.3 EXERCISE PERIOD. Options shall be exercisable within the times
or upon the events determined by the Committee as set forth in the Stock Option
Agreement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Option shall be exercisable after the
expiration of one hundred twenty (120) months from the date the Option is
granted, and provided further that no Option granted to a person who directly or
by attribution owns more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting
power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the
Company ("TEN PERCENT STOCKHOLDER") shall be exercisable after the expiration of
five (5) years from the date the Option is granted. The Committee also may
provide for the exercise of Options to become exercisable at one time or from
time to time, periodically or otherwise, in such number or percentage as the
Committee determines.
5.4 EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price shall be determined by the
Committee when the Option is granted and may be not less than 85% of the Fair
Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant; provided that (i) the Exercise
Price of an ISO shall be not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the
Shares on the date of grant and (ii) the Exercise Price of any Option granted to
a Ten Percent Stockholder shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value
of the Shares on the date of grant. Payment for the Shares purchased may be
made in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan.
5.5 METHOD OF EXERCISE. Options may be exercised only by delivery
to the Company of a written stock option exercise agreement (the "EXERCISE
AGREEMENT") in a form approved by the Committee (which need not be the same
for each Participant), stating the number of Shares being purchased, the
restrictions imposed on the Shares, if any, and such representations and
agreements regarding Participant's investment intent and access to
information, if any, as may
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1992 Equity Incentive Plan
As Amended Through April 1, 1998
Page 4
be required or desirable by the Company to comply with applicable securities
laws, together with payment in full of the Exercise Price for the number of
Shares being purchased.
5.6 TERMINATION. Notwithstanding the exercise periods set forth in
the Stock Option Agreement, exercise of an Option shall always be subject to the
following:
(a) If the Participant is Terminated for any reason except death or
Disability, then Participant may exercise such Participant's
Options only to the extent that such Options would have been
exercisable upon the Termination Date no later than ninety (90)
days after the Termination Date (or such shorter time period as
may be specified in the Stock Option Agreement or such longer
time period, not exceeding five (5) years, after the Termination
Date as may be determined by the Committee and specified in the
Stock Option Agreement, with any exercise beyond three (3) months
after the Termination Date deemed to be an NQSO), but in any
event, no later than the expiration date of the Options.
(b) If the Participant is terminated because of death or Disability
(or the participant dies within three months of such
termination), then Participant's Options may be exercised only to
the extent that such Options would have been exercisable by
Participant on the Termination Date and must be exercised by
Participant (or Participant's legal representative or authorized
assignee) no later than twelve (12) months after the Termination
Date (or such shorter time period as may be specified in the
Stock Option Agreement or such longer time period, not exceeding
five (5) years, after the Termination Date as may be determined
by the Committee and specified in the Stock Option Agreement,
with any exercise beyond (i) three (3) months after the
Termination Date when the Termination is for any reason other
than the Participant's death or disability, within the meaning of
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code, or (ii) twelve (12) months after
the Termination Date when the Termination is for Participant's
death or disability, within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of
the Code, deemed to be an NQSO), but in any event no later than
the expiration date of the Options.
5.7 LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE. The Committee may specify a reasonable
minimum number of Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option,
provided that such minimum number will not prevent Participant from exercising
the Option for the full number of Shares for which it is then exercisable.
5.8 LIMITATIONS ON ISOS. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined
as of the date of grant) of Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable
for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under the Plan or
under any other incentive stock option plan of the Company or any Affiliate,
Parent or Subsidiary of the Company) shall not exceed $100,000. If the Fair
Market Value of Shares on the date of grant with respect to which ISOs are
exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year exceeds
$100,000, the Options for the first $100,000 worth of Shares to become
exercisable in such calendar year shall be ISOs and the Options for the amount
in excess of $100,000 that become exercisable in that calendar year shall be
NQSOs. In the event that the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder are
amended after the
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1992 Equity Incentive Plan
As Amended Through April 1, 1998
Page 5
Effective Date of the Plan to provide for a different limit on the Fair
Market Value of Shares permitted to be subject to ISOs, such different limit
shall be automatically incorporated herein and shall apply to any Options
granted after the effective date of such amendment.
5.9 MODIFICATION, EXTENSION OR RENEWAL. The Committee may modify,
extend or renew outstanding Options and authorize the grant of new Options in
substitution therefor, provided that any such action may not, without the
written consent of Participant, impair any of Participant's rights under any
Option previously granted. Any outstanding ISO that is modified, extended,
renewed or otherwise altered shall be treated in accordance with Section
424(h) of the Code. The Committee may reduce the Exercise Price of
outstanding Options without the consent of Participants affected by a written
notice to them; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Exercise Price may not be reduced
below the minimum Exercise Price that would be permitted under Section 5.4 of
the Plan for Options granted on the date the action is taken to reduce the
Exercise Price; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Exercise Price shall not be
reduced below the par value of the Shares, if any.
5.10 NO DISQUALIFICATION. Notwithstanding any other provision in the
Plan, no term of the Plan relating to ISOs shall be interpreted, amended or
altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be
exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or,
without the consent of the Participant affected, to disqualify any ISO under
Section 422 of the Code.
6. RESTRICTED STOCK. A Restricted Stock Award is an offer by the Company
to sell to an eligible person Shares that are subject to restrictions. The
Committee shall determine to whom an offer will be made, the number of Shares
the person may purchase, the price to be paid (the "PURCHASE PRICE"), the
restrictions to which the Shares shall be subject, and all other terms and
conditions of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to the following:
6.1 FORM OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD. All purchases under a Restricted
Stock Award made pursuant to the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement
("RESTRICTED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT") that shall be in such form (which need
not be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time
approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan. The offer of Restricted Stock shall be accepted by the Participant's
execution and delivery of the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement and full
payment for the Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days from the date the
Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement is delivered to the person. If such person
does not execute and deliver the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement along with
full payment for the Shares to the Company within thirty (30) days, then the
offer shall terminate, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.
6.2 PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price of Shares sold pursuant to a
Restricted Stock Award shall be determined by the Committee and shall be at
least 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares when the Restricted Stock Award
is granted, except in the case of a sale to a Ten Percent Stockholder, in which
case the Purchase Price shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value. Payment of the
Purchase Price may be made in accordance with Section 8 of the Plan.

6.3 RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such
restrictions as the Committee may impose. The Committee may provide for the
lapse of such restrictions in installments and may accelerate or waive such
restrictions, in whole or part, based on length of service, performance or such
other factors or criteria as the Committee may determine.
7. STOCK BONUSES.
7.1 AWARDS OF STOCK BONUSES. A Stock Bonus is an award of Shares
(which may consist of Restricted Stock) for services rendered to the Company or
any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. A Stock Bonus may be
awarded for past services already rendered to the Company, or any Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company pursuant to an Award Agreement (the
"STOCK BONUS AGREEMENT") that shall be in such form (which need not be the same
for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time approve, and
shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. A
Stock Bonus may be awarded upon satisfaction of such performance goals as are
set out in advance in Participant's individual Award Agreement (the
"PERFORMANCE STOCK BONUS AGREEMENT") that shall be in such form (which need not
be the same for each Participant) as the Committee shall from time to time
approve, and shall comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the
Plan. Stock Bonuses may vary from Participant to Participant and between groups
of Participants, and may be based upon the achievement of the Company, Parent,
Subsidiary or Affiliate and/or individual performance factors or upon such other
criteria as the Committee may determine.
7.2 TERMS OF STOCK BONUSES. The Committee shall determine the number
of Shares to be awarded to the Participant and whether such Shares shall be
Restricted Stock. If the Stock Bonus is being earned upon the satisfaction of
performance goals pursuant to a Performance Stock Bonus Agreement, then the
Committee shall determine: (a) the nature, length and starting date of any
period during which performance is to be measured (the "PERFORMANCE PERIOD") for
each Stock Bonus; (b) the performance goals and criteria to be used to measure
the performance, if any; (c) the number of Shares that may be awarded to the
Participant; and (d) the extent to which such Stock Bonuses have been earned.
Performance Periods may overlap and Participants may participate simultaneously
with respect to Stock Bonuses that are subject to different Performance Periods
and different performance goals and other criteria. The number of Shares may be
fixed or may vary in accordance with such performance goals and criteria as may
be determined by the Committee. The Committee may adjust the performance goals
applicable to the Stock Bonuses to take into account changes in law and
accounting or tax rules and to make such adjustments as the Committee deems
necessary or appropriate to reflect the impact of extraordinary or unusual
items, events or circumstances to avoid windfalls or hardships.
7.3 FORM OF PAYMENT. The earned portion of a Stock Bonus may be paid
currently or on a deferred basis with such interest or dividend equivalent, if
any, as the Committee may determine. Payment may be made in the form of cash,
whole Shares, including Restricted Stock, or a combination thereof, either in a
lump sum payment or in installments, all as the Committee shall determine.
7.4 TERMINATION DURING PERFORMANCE PERIOD. If a Participant is
Terminated during a Performance Period for any reason, then such Participant
shall be entitled to payment
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1992 Equity Incentive Plan
As Amended Through April 1, 1998
Page 7
(whether in Shares, cash or otherwise) with respect to the Stock Bonus only
to the extent earned as of the date of Termination in accordance with the
Performance Stock Bonus Agreement, unless the Committee shall determine
otherwise.
8. PAYMENT FOR SHARE PURCHASES.
8.1 PAYMENT. Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan may
be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the Participant by
the Committee and where permitted by law:
(a) by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the
Participant;
(b) by surrender of Shares that either: (1) have been owned by
Participant for more than six (6) months and have been paid for
within the meaning of SEC Rule 144 (and, if such shares were
purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note
has been fully paid with respect to such Shares); or (2) were
obtained by Participant in the public market;
(c) by tender of a full recourse promissory note having such terms as
may be approved by the Committee and bearing interest at a rate
sufficient to avoid imputation of income under Sections 483 and
1274 of the Code; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Participants who are
not employees of the Company shall not be entitled to purchase
Shares with a promissory note unless the note is adequately
secured by collateral other than the Shares; PROVIDED, FURTHER,
that the portion of the Purchase Price equal to the par value of
the Shares, if any, must be paid in cash;
(d) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant for
services rendered;
(e) by tender of property;
(f) with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and
provided that a public market for the Company's stock exists:
(1) through a "same day sale" commitment from Participant and a
broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association
of Securities Dealers (an "NASD DEALER") whereby Participant
irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a
portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise
Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon
receipt of such Shares to forward the Exercise Price
directly to the Company; or
(2) through a "margin" commitment from Participant and an NASD
Dealer whereby Participant irrevocably elects to exercise
the Option and to pledge the Shares so purchased to the NASD
Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the
NASD Dealer in the amount of
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1992 Equity Incentive Plan
As Amended Through April 1, 1998
Page 8
the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably
commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the exercise
price directly to the Company; or
(g) by any combination of the foregoing.
8.2 LOAN GUARANTEES. The Committee may help the Participant pay for
Shares purchased under the Plan by authorizing a guarantee by the Company of a
third-party loan to the Participant.
9. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
9.1 WITHHOLDING GENERALLY. Whenever Shares are to be issued in
satisfaction of Awards granted under the Plan, the Company may require the
Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy federal,
state and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any
certificate or certificates for such Shares. Whenever, under the Plan, payments
in satisfaction of Awards are to be made in cash, such payment shall be net of
an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local withholding tax
requirements.
9.2 STOCK WITHHOLDING. When, under applicable tax laws, a
Participant incurs tax liability in connection with the exercise or vesting of
any Award that is subject to tax withholding and the Participant is obligated to
pay the Company the amount required to be withheld, the Committee may allow the
Participant to satisfy the minimum withholding tax obligation by electing to
have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued that number of Shares
having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld,
determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined
(the "TAX DATE"). All elections by a Participant to have Shares withheld for
this purpose shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee and
shall be subject to the following restrictions:
(a) the election must be made on or prior to the applicable Tax Date;
(b) once made the election shall be irrevocable as to the particular
Shares as to which the election is made; and
(c) all elections shall be subject to the consent or disapproval of
the Committee.
10. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP.
10.1 VOTING AND DIVIDENDS. No Participant shall have any of the
rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares until the Shares are issued
to the Participant. After Shares are issued to the Participant, the Participant
shall be a stockholder and have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to
such Shares, including the right to vote and receive all dividends or other
distributions made or paid with respect to such Shares; PROVIDED, that if such
Shares are Restricted Stock, then any new, additional or different securities
the Participant may become entitled to receive with respect to such Shares by
virtue of a stock dividend, stock split or any other change in the corporate or
capital structure of the Company shall be subject to the same restrictions
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1992 Equity Incentive Plan
As Amended Through April 1, 1998
Page 9
as the Restricted Stock; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the Participant shall have
no right to retain such dividends or distributions with respect to Shares
that are repurchased at the Participant's original Purchase Price pursuant to
Section 12.
10.2 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company shall provide financial
statements to each Participant prior to such Participant's purchase of Shares
under the Plan, and to each Participant annually during the period such
Participant has Options outstanding; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, the Company shall not be
required to provide such financial statements to Participants whose services in
connection with the Company assure them access to equivalent information.
11. TRANSFERABILITY. Awards granted under the Plan, and any interest
therein, shall not be transferable or assignable by Participant, and may not be
made subject to execution, attachment or similar process, otherwise than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution or as consistent with the specific
Plan and Award Agreement provisions relating thereto. During the lifetime of
the Participant an Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant, and any
elections with respect to an Award, may be made only by the Participant.
12. RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES. At the discretion of the Committee, the
Company may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement (a)
a right of first refusal to purchase all Shares that a Participant (or a
subsequent transferee) may propose to transfer to a third party, and/or (b) a
right to repurchase a portion of or all Shares held by a Participant following
such Participant's Termination at any time within ninety (90) days after the
later of Participant's Termination Date and the date Participant purchases
Shares under the Plan, for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness,
at: (A) with respect to Shares that are "Vested" (as defined in the Award
Agreement), the higher of: (l) Participant's original Purchase Price, or (2)
the Fair Market Value of such Shares on Participant's Termination Date,
PROVIDED, such right of repurchase terminates when the Company's securities
become publicly traded; or (B) with respect to Shares that are not "Vested" (as
defined in the Award Agreement), at the Participant's original Purchase Price,
PROVIDED, that the right to repurchase at the original Purchase Price lapses at
the rate of at least 20% per year over 5 years from the date the Shares were
purchased, and if the right to repurchase is assignable, the assignee must pay
the Company, upon assignment of the right to repurchase, cash equal to the
excess of the Fair Market Value of the Shares over the original Purchase Price.
13. CERTIFICATES. All certificates for Shares or other securities
delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock transfer orders, legends
and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable,
including restrictions under any applicable federal, state or foreign securities
law, or any rules, regulations and other requirements of the SEC or any stock
exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares may be listed.
14. ESCROW; PLEDGE OF SHARES. To enforce any restrictions on a
Participant's Shares, the Committee may require the Participant to deposit all
certificates, together with stock powers or other instruments of transfer
approved by the Committee, appropriately endorsed in blank, with the Company or
an agent designated by the Company to hold in escrow until such restrictions
have lapsed or terminated, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends
referencing such restrictions to be placed on the certificates. Any Participant
who is permitted to execute a promissory note as partial or full consideration
for the purchase of Shares under the Plan
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1992 Equity Incentive Plan
As Amended Through April 1, 1998
Page 10
shall be required to pledge and deposit with the Company all or part of the
Shares so purchased as collateral to secure the payment of Participant's
obligation to the Company under the promissory note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Committee may require or accept other or additional forms of collateral
to secure the payment of such obligation and, in any event, the Company shall
have full recourse against the Participant under the promissory note
notwithstanding any pledge of the Participant's Shares or other collateral.
In connection with any pledge of the Shares, Participant shall be required to
execute and deliver a written pledge agreement in such form as the Committee
shall from time to time approve. The Shares purchased with the promissory
note may be released from the pledge on a prorata basis as the promissory
note is paid.
15. EXCHANGE AND BUYOUT OF AWARDS. The Committee may, at any time or from
time to time, authorize the Company, with the consent of the respective
Participants, to issue new Awards in exchange for the surrender and cancellation
of any or all outstanding Awards. The Committee may at any time buy from a
Participant an Award previously granted with payment in cash, Shares (including
Restricted Stock) or other consideration, based on such terms and conditions as
the Committee and the Participant shall agree.
16. SECURITIES LAW AND OTHER REGULATORY COMPLIANCE. An Award shall not be
effective unless such Award is in compliance with all applicable federal and
state securities laws, rules and regulations of any governmental body, and the
requirements of any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the
Shares may then be listed, as they are in effect on the date of grant of the
Award and also on the date of exercise or other issuance. Notwithstanding any
other provision in the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to issue or
deliver certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to (a) obtaining any
approvals from governmental agencies that the Company determines are necessary
or advisable, and/or (b) completion of any registration or other qualification
of such shares under any state or federal law or ruling of any governmental body
that the Company determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company shall be
under no obligation to register the Shares with the SEC or to effect compliance
with the registration, qualification or listing requirements of any state
securities laws, stock exchange or automated quotation system, and the Company
shall have no liability for any inability or failure to do so.
17. NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY. Nothing in the Plan or any Award granted
under the Plan shall confer or be deemed to confer on any Participant any right
to continue in the employ of, or other relationship with, the Company or any
Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or limit in any way the right of
the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company to terminate
Participant's employment or other relationship at any time, with or without
cause.
18. CORPORATE TRANSACTIONS.
18.1 ASSUMPTION OR REPLACEMENT OF AWARDS BY SUCCESSOR. In the event
of (a) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned
subsidiary, a reincorporation of the Company in a different jurisdiction, or
other transaction in which there is no substantial change in the stockholders of
the Company and the Awards granted under the Plan are assumed or replaced by the
successor corporation, which assumption shall be binding on all Participants),
(b) a dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (c) the sale of substantially
all of the assets of the Company, or (d) any other
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1992 Equity Incentive Plan
As Amended Through April 1, 1998
Page 11
transaction which qualifies as a "corporate transaction" under Section 424(a)
of the Code wherein the stockholders of the Company give up all of their
equity interest in the Company (EXCEPT for the acquisition, sale or transfer
of all or substantially all of the outstanding shares of the Company), any or
all outstanding Awards may be assumed or replaced by the successor
corporation, which assumption or replacement shall be binding on all
Participants. In the alternative, the successor corporation may substitute
equivalent Awards or provide substantially similar consideration to
Participants as was provided to stockholders (after taking into account the
existing provisions of the Awards). The successor corporation may also
issue, in place of outstanding Shares of the Company held by the Participant,
substantially similar shares or other property subject repurchase
restrictions no less favorable to the Participant.
18.2 EXPIRATION OF OPTIONS. In the event such successor corporation,
if any, refuses to assume or substitute the Options, as provided above, pursuant
to a transaction described in Subsection 18.1(a) above, such Options shall
expire on such transaction at such time and on such conditions as the Board
shall determine. In the event such successor corporation, if any, refuses to
assume or substitute the Options as provided above, pursuant to a transaction
described in Subsections 18.1(b), (c) or (d) above, or there is no successor
corporation, and if the Company ceases to exist as a separate corporate entity,
then, notwithstanding any contrary terms in the Award Agreement, the Options
shall expire on a date at least twenty (20) days after the Board gives written
notice to Participants specifying the terms and conditions of such termination.
18.3 OTHER TREATMENT OF AWARDS. Subject to any greater rights granted
to Participants under the foregoing provisions of this Section 18, in the event
of the occurrence of any transaction described in Section 18.1, any outstanding
Awards shall be treated as provided in the applicable agreement or plan of
merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation, sale of assets or other
"corporate transaction."
18.4 ASSUMPTION OF AWARDS BY THE COMPANY. The Company, from time to
time, also may substitute or assume outstanding awards granted by another
company, whether in connection with an acquisition of such other company or
otherwise, by either (a) granting an Award under the Plan in substitution of
such other company's award, or (b) assuming such award as if it had been granted
under the Plan if the terms of such assumed award could be applied to an Award
granted under the Plan. Such substitution or assumption shall be permissible if
the holder of the substituted or assumed award would have been eligible to be
granted an Award under the Plan if the other company had applied the rules of
the Plan to such grant. In the event the Company assumes an award granted by
another company, the terms and conditions of such award shall remain unchanged
(EXCEPT that the exercise price and the number and nature of Shares issuable
upon exercise of any such option will be adjusted appropriately pursuant to
Section 424(a) of the Code). In the event the Company elects to grant a new
Option rather than assuming an existing option, such new Option may be granted
with a similarly adjusted Exercise Price.
19. ADOPTION AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. The Plan shall become effective on
the date that it is adopted by the Board (the "EFFECTIVE DATE"). The Plan shall
be approved by the stockholders of the Company (excluding Shares issued pursuant
to this Plan), consistent with applicable laws, within twelve months before or
after the Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date, the Board may grant Awards
pursuant to the Plan; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that: (a) no Option may be
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1992 Equity Incentive Plan
As Amended Through April 1, 1998
Page 12
exercised prior to initial stockholder approval of the Plan; (b) no Option
granted pursuant to an increase in the number of Shares approved by the Board
shall be exercised prior to the time such increase has been approved by the
stockholders of the Company; and (c) in the event that stockholder approval
is not obtained within the time period provided herein, all Awards granted
hereunder shall be canceled, any Shares issued pursuant to any Award shall be
canceled and any purchase of Shares hereunder shall be rescinded.
20. TERM OF PLAN. The Plan will terminate ten (10) years from the
Effective Date or, if earlier, the date of stockholder approval.
21. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Board may at any time terminate
or amend the Plan in any respect, including without limitation amendment of any
form of Award Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to the Plan;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Board shall not, without the approval of the
stockholders of the Company, amend the Plan in any manner that requires such
stockholder approval pursuant to the Code or the regulations promulgated
thereunder as such provisions apply to ISO plans.
22. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the
Board, the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the Company for
approval, nor any provision of the Plan shall be construed as creating any
limitations on the power of the Board to adopt such additional compensation
arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation, the
granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than under the Plan, and such
arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific
cases.
23. GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all agreements, documents and instruments
entered into pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by and construed in

body of law pertaining to conflict of laws.

<PAGE>
MACROMEDIA, INC.
1993 DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN
As Adopted October 15, 1993
and Amended Through June 29, 1998
1. PURPOSE. This Stock Option Plan (this "PLAN") is established to
provide equity incentives for nonemployee members of the Board of Directors of
Macromedia, Inc. (the "COMPANY") who are described in Section 6.1 below, by
granting such persons options to purchase shares of stock of the Company.
2. ADOPTION AND STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL. This Plan shall be amended
effective on the date that such amendment is adopted by the Board of Directors
(the "BOARD") of the Company. This amendment shall be approved by the
stockholders of the Company, consistent with applicable laws, within twelve
months after the date that it is adopted by the Board. After adoption of this
amendment by the Board, options ("OPTIONS") may be granted under this Plan
provided that, in the event that stockholder approval is not obtained within the
time period provided herein, this Plan, and all Options granted hereunder, shall
terminate. No Option that is issued as a result of any increase in the number
of shares authorized to be issued under this Plan shall be exercised prior to
the time such increase has been approved by the stockholders of the Company and
all such Options granted pursuant to such increase shall similarly terminate if
such stockholder approval is not obtained.
3. TYPES OF OPTIONS AND SHARES. Options granted under this Plan shall be
nonqualified stock options ("NQSOs"). The shares of stock that may be purchased
upon exercise of Options granted under this Plan (the "SHARES") are shares of
the Common Stock of the Company.
4. NUMBER OF SHARES. The maximum number of Shares that may be issued
pursuant to Options granted under this Plan is 700,000 Shares, subject to
adjustment as provided in this Plan. If any Option is terminated for any reason
without being exercised in whole or in part, the Shares thereby released from
such Option shall be available for purchase under other Options subsequently
granted under this Plan. At all times during the term of this Plan, the Company
shall reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be required to
satisfy the requirements of outstanding Options under this Plan.
5. ADMINISTRATION. This Plan shall be administered by the Board or by a
committee of not less than two members of the Board appointed to administer this
Plan (the "COMMITTEE"). As used in this Plan, references to the Committee shall
mean either such Committee or the Board if no committee has been established.

6. ELIGIBILITY AND AWARD FORMULA.
6.1 ELIGIBILITY. Options may be granted only to directors of the
Company who are not employees of the Company or any Parent, Subsidiary or
Affiliate of the Company, as those terms are defined in Section 18 below (each
an "OPTIONEE").
6.2 INITIAL GRANT. Each Optionee who becomes a member of the Board
for the first time after the effective date of this amendment will automatically
be granted an Option for 50,000 Shares (the "INITIAL GRANT") on the date such
Optionee first joins the Board.
6.3 SUCCEEDING GRANTS. If, after the effective date of this
amendment, on the third anniversary date of joining the Board, the Optionee is
still a member of the Board, the Optionee will automatically be granted an
Option for 50,000 Shares (a "SUCCEEDING GRANT"). Upon the third anniversary
date of the date of grant of each Succeeding Grant, if the Optionee is still a
member of the Board, the Optionee will automatically be granted an Option for
50,000 Shares (also, a "SUCCEEDING GRANT"). Each Optionee who is a member of
the Board immediately prior to the effective date of this amendment will be
granted a Succeeding Grant upon the date on which this amendment is approved by
the Company's stockholders, PROVIDED THAT this Succeeding Grant only shall be an
Option for the number of Shares equal to 50,000 less the number of unvested
option shares held by the Optionee on the date this amendment is approved by the
Company's stockholders and thereafter each such Optionee shall receive
Succeeding Grants in accordance with the preceding sentence of this Section 6.3.
6.4 MAXIMUM SHARES; MODIFICATION OF AWARD FORMULA. The maximum
number of Shares that may be issued to any one director under this Plan is
120,000. No grant will be made, however, if such grant will cause the number of
Shares issued or subject to outstanding Options under this Plan to exceed the
number specified in Section 4 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in its sole
discretion, the Board may increase or decrease the amount of any automatic grant
under Sections 6.2 or 6.3 that may be made to any Optionee.
7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. Subject to the following and to
Section 6 above:
7.1 FORM OF OPTION GRANT. Each Option granted under this Plan shall
be evidenced by a written Stock Option Grant ("GRANT") in such form (which need
not be the same for each Optionee) as the Committee shall from time to time
approve, which Grant shall comply with and be subject to the terms and
conditions of this Plan. Except as provided in Section 7.4, Options shall have
a term of ten (10) years.
7.2 VESTING. The date an Optionee becomes a member of the Board for
the first time, as to the first Option granted to a future Optionee, and the
date a succeeding Option is granted, for an Option described in Section 6.3
above, is referred to in this Plan as the "START DATE" for such Option. Each
Initial Grant granted under the Plan will vest as to

Page 3
16.67% of the shares subject to it on the date six months after the initial
Grant's start date and shall vest as to an additional 2.7778% of the Shares
each calendar month thereafter , so long as the Optionee continuously remains
a director of the Company. Each Succeeding Grant will vest as to 2.7778% of
the Shares each calendar month, so long as the Optionee continuously remains
a director of the Company.
7.3 EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price of an Option shall be the
Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 18.4) of the Shares, at the time that
the Option is granted.
7.4 TERMINATION OF OPTION. Except as provided below in this Section,
this Option shall terminate and may not be exercised if Optionee ceases to be a
member of the Board. The date on which Optionee ceases to be a member of the
Board shall be referred to as the "TERMINATION DATE."
(a) TERMINATION GENERALLY. If Optionee ceases to be a member of
the Board for any reason except death or disability, this Option, to the extent
(and only to the extent) that it would have been exercisable by Optionee on the
Termination Date, may be exercised by Optionee within six (6) months after the
Termination Date, but in no event later than the expiration date.
(b) DEATH OR DISABILITY. If Optionee ceases to be a member of
the Board because of the death of Optionee or the disability of Optionee within
the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, this Option, to the extent (and only to the extent) that it would have
been exercisable by Optionee on the Termination Date, may be exercised by
Optionee (or Optionee's legal representative) within twelve (12) months after
the Termination Date, but in no event later than the expiration date.
8. EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.
8.1 NOTICE. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company
of an exercise agreement in a form approved by the Committee, stating the number
of Shares being purchased, the restrictions imposed on the Shares and such
representations and agreements regarding the Optionee's investment intent and
access to information as may be required by the Company to comply with
applicable securities laws, together with payment in full of the exercise price
for the number of Shares being purchased.
8.2 PAYMENT. Payment for the Shares may be made (a) in cash or by
check; (b) by surrender of shares of Common Stock of the Company that have been
owned by Optionee for more than six (6) months (and which have been paid for
within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 144 and, if such
shares were purchased from the Company by use of a promissory note, such note
has been fully paid with respect to such shares) or were obtained by the
Optionee in the open public market, having a Fair Market Value equal to the
exercise price of the Option; (c) by waiver of compensation due or accrued to
Optionee for services rendered; (d) provided that a public market for the
Company's stock
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1993 Directors Stock Option Plan
As Amended Through June 29, 1998
Page 4
exists, through a "same day sale" commitment from the Optionee and a
broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers (a "NASD DEALER") whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise
the Option and to sell a portion of the Shares so purchased to pay for the
exercise price and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt
of such Shares to forward the exercise price directly to the Company; (e)
provided that a public market for the Company's stock exists, through a
"margin" commitment from the Optionee and a NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee
irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the Shares so
purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from
the NASD Dealer in the amount of the exercise price, and whereby the NASD
Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such Shares to forward the
exercise price directly to the Company; or (f) by any combination of the
foregoing.
8.3 WITHHOLDING TAXES. Prior to issuance of the Shares upon exercise
of an Option, the Optionee shall pay or make adequate provision for any federal
or state withholding obligations of the Company, if applicable.
8.4 LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE. Notwithstanding the exercise periods
set forth in the Grant, exercise of an Option shall always be subject to the
following limitations:
(a) An Option shall not be exercisable until such time as the
Plan or, in the case of Options granted pursuant to an amendment to the number
of shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plan, the amendment has been
approved by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with Section 16
hereof.
(b) An Option shall not be exercisable unless such exercise is
in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 SECURITIES
ACT"), and all applicable state securities laws, as they are in effect on the
date of exercise.
(c) The Committee may specify a reasonable minimum number of
Shares that may be purchased on any exercise of an Option, provided that such
minimum number will not prevent the Optionee from exercising the full number of
Shares as to which the Option is then exercisable.
9. NONTRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. During the lifetime of the Optionee,
an Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee or by the Optionee's
guardian or legal representative, unless otherwise permitted by the Committee.
No Option may be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred or disposed
of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
10. PRIVILEGES OF STOCK OWNERSHIP. No Optionee shall have any of the
rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares subject to an Option until
the Option has been validly exercised. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to
the date of exercise, except as provided in this Plan. The Company shall
provide to each Optionee a copy of the annual financial statements of the
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1993 Directors Stock Option Plan
As Amended Through June 29, 1998
Page 5
Company, at such time after the close of each fiscal year of the Company as
they are released by the Company to its stockholders.
11. ADJUSTMENT OF OPTION SHARES. In the event that the number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company is changed by a stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination, reclassification or
similar change in the capital structure of the Company without consideration,
the number of Shares available under this Plan and the number of Shares subject
to outstanding Options and the exercise price per share of such Options shall be
proportionately adjusted, subject to any required action by the Board or
stockholders of the Company and compliance with applicable securities laws;
provided, however, that no certificate or scrip representing fractional shares
shall be issued upon exercise of any Option and any resulting fractions of a
Share shall be ignored.
12. NO OBLIGATION TO EMPLOY. Nothing in this Plan or any Option granted
under this Plan shall confer on any Optionee any right to continue as a director
of the Company.
13. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The grant of Options and the issuance of Shares
upon exercise of any Options shall be subject to and conditioned upon compliance
with all applicable requirements of law, including without limitation compliance
with the 1933 Securities Act, any required approval by the Commissioner of
Corporations of the State of California, compliance with all other applicable
state securities laws and compliance with the requirements of any stock exchange
or national market system on which the Shares may be listed. The Company shall
be under no obligation to register the Shares with the Securities and Exchange
Commission or to effect compliance with the registration or qualification
requirement of any state securities laws, stock exchange or national market
system.
14. RESTRICTIONS ON SHARES. The Company may reserve to itself or its
assignee(s) in the Grant, a right to repurchase any or all unvested shares held
by an Optionee upon the Optionee's termination of service with the Company for
any reason at the Optionee's original exercise price. Such repurchase rights
shall lapse in accordance with the exercise period set forth in Section 7.2
above.
15. ASSUMPTION OF OPTIONS BY SUCCESSORS. In the event of a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company, a merger in which the Company is not the surviving
corporation, the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any
other transaction which qualifies as a "corporate transaction" under Section 424
of the Revenue Code wherein the Stockholders of the Company give up all of their
equity interest in the Company (except for the acquisition of all or
substantially all of the outstanding shares of the Company the vesting of all
options granted pursuant to the Plan will accelerate and the options will become
exercisable in full prior to the consummation of such event at such times and on
such conditions as the Committee determines.
16. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN. The Committee may at any time
terminate or amend this Plan but not the terms of any outstanding option;
provided, however, that
<PAGE>
Macromedia, Inc.
1993 Directors Stock Option Plan
As Amended Through June 29, 1998
Page 6
the Committee shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the
Company, increase the total number of Shares available under this Plan
(except by operation of the provisions of Sections 4 and 11 above) or change
the class of persons eligible to receive Options. Further, the provisions in
Sections 6 and 7 of this Plan shall not be amended more than once every six
(6) months, other than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act or the rules
thereunder. In any case, no amendment of this Plan may adversely affect any
then outstanding Options or any unexercised portions thereof without the
written consent of the Optionee.
17. TERM OF PLAN. Options may be granted pursuant to this Plan from time
to time within a period of ten (10) years from the date this Plan is adopted by
the Board of Directors.
18. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. As used in this Plan, the following terms shall
have the following meanings:
18.1 "PARENT" means any corporation (other than the Company) in an
unbroken chain of corporations ending with the Company if, at the time of the
granting of the Option, each of such corporations other than the Company owns
stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes
of stock in one of the other corporations in such chain.
18.2 "SUBSIDIARY" means any corporation (other than the Company) in an
unbroken chain of corporations beginning with the Company if, at the time of
granting of the Option, each of the corporations other than the last corporation
in the unbroken chain owns stock possessing 50% or more of the total combined
voting power of all classes of stock in one of the other corporations in such
chain.
18.3 "AFFILIATE" means any corporation that directly, or indirectly
through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under
common control with, another corporation, where "control" (including the terms
"controlled by" and "under common control with") means the possession, direct or
indirect, of the power to cause the direction of the management and policies of
the corporation, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract
or otherwise.
18.4 "FAIR MARKET VALUE" shall mean the fair market value of the
Shares as determined by the Committee from time to time in good faith. If a
public market exists for the Shares, the Fair Market Value shall be the average
of the last reported bid and asked prices for the common stock of the Company on
the last trading day prior to the date of determination, or, in the event the
common stock of the Company is listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, the
Fair Market Value shall be the average of the high and low prices of the common
stock on the option grant date as quoted on the NASDAQ National Market System
and reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.
