3

forfeited or otherwise lapses, expires, terminates or is canceled without the actual delivery of Shares, then the Shares covered by such Award, to the extent of such forfeiture, expiration, lapse, termination or cancellation, shall again be Shares that may be issued with respect to Awards granted under the Plan. Shares withheld by the Company to satisfy tax withholding or exercise price obligations shall not be considered delivered under the Plan and shall again be available for issuance under future Awards.

        (b)    Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards.    Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares.

        (c)    Adjustments.    In the event of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar event with respect to Shares, the number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted, the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards, the grant or exercise price with respect to outstanding Awards and the individual annual grant limits with respect to Awards (other than dollar denominated Awards) automatically shall be proportionately adjusted, without action by the Committee; provided, however, such automatic adjustment shall be evidenced by written addendums to the Plan and Award Agreements prepared by the Company and, with respect to Options, shall be in accordance with the Treasury Regulations concerning Incentive Stock Options.

        (d)    Individual Participant Limits.    The maximum number of Share-denominated Awards that may be granted under the Plan to any individual during any calendar year shall not exceed 800,000 Shares, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c). The maximum amount of dollar-denominated Awards that may be granted to any Participant during any calendar year may not exceed $7,000,000.

SECTION 5.    Eligibility.

        Any Employee, Consultant or Director shall be eligible to be designated a Participant by the Committee.

SECTION 6.    Awards.

        (a)    Options.    Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to determine Participants to whom Options shall be granted, the number of Shares to be covered by each Option, the purchase price therefor and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option, including performance objectives, if any, and the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

        (i)    Exercise Price.    The purchase price per Share purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time the Option is granted, but, except with respect to a Substitute Award, shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the effective date of such grant.

        (ii)    Time and Method of Exercise.    The Committee shall determine and provide in the Award Agreement the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, and the method or methods by which, and the form or forms (which may include, without limitation, cash, check acceptable to the Company, Shares already-owned by the Participant for more than six months (unless such holding requirement is waived by the Committee), a "cashless-broker" exercise (through procedures approved by the Company), other securities or other property, a note (to the extent permitted by applicable law), or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price) in which payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made.

        (iii)    Incentive Stock Options.    An Incentive Stock Option may be granted only to an individual who is an employee of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation (as defined in section 424 of the Code) at the time the Option is granted and must be granted within 10 years

4

from the date the Plan was approved by the Board or the stockholders of the Company, whichever is earlier. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the respective Incentive Stock Option is granted) of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an individual during any calendar year under all incentive stock option plans of the Company and its parent and subsidiary corporations exceeds $100,000, or such Options fail to constitute Incentive Stock Options for any reason, such purported Incentive Stock Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options. The Committee shall determine, in accordance with applicable provisions of the Code, Treasury Regulations and other administrative pronouncements, which of a Participant's purported Incentive Stock Options do not constitute Incentive Stock Options and shall notify the Participant of such determination as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an individual if, at the time the Option is granted, such individual owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its parent or subsidiary corporation, within the meaning of section 422(b)(6) of the Code, unless (i) at the time such Option is granted the option price is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the Option and (ii) such Option by its terms is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant. An Incentive Stock Option shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the Participant's lifetime only by such Participant or the Participant's guardian or legal representative. The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision, and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

        (iv)    Forfeiture.    Upon a Participant's termination, whether voluntary or involuntary (and including without limitation termination on account of death, disability, or retirement), all such Participant's Options as to which the Restricted Period has not elapsed as of the date of termination shall be forfeited, and all such Participant's Options as to which the Restricted Period has elapsed as of the date of termination shall remain exercisable for the period of time set forth in the Award Agreement, after which time any such Options which remain unexercised shall be forfeited. However, the Committee may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to a Participant's Options.

        (b)    Restricted Stock.    The Committee shall have the authority to grant Awards of Restricted Stock to such Participants upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.

        (i)    Terms and Conditions.    Each Restricted Stock Award shall constitute an agreement by the Company to issue or transfer a specified number of Shares to the Participant in the future, subject to the fulfillment during the Restricted Period of such conditions, including performance objectives, if any, as the Committee may specify at the date of grant. During the Restricted Period, the Participant shall have such rights of ownership in or with respect to the Restricted Shares as set forth in the Award Agreement. The holder of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive an equal number of unrestricted Shares in exchange for his or her Restricted Stock upon the lapse or other satisfaction of the applicable restrictions. The Committee shall cause such unrestricted Shares, evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall deem appropriate, to be issued promptly after the applicable restrictions have lapsed or otherwise been satisfied.

        (ii)    Dividends.    Dividends paid on Restricted Stock may be paid directly to the Participant, may be subject to risk of forfeiture and/or transfer restrictions during any period established by the Committee or sequestered and held in a bookkeeping cash account (with or without interest) or reinvested on an immediate or deferred basis in additional shares of Common Stock, which credit or shares may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Award or such other

5

restrictions, all as determined by the Committee in its discretion, as provided in the Award Agreement.

        (iii)    Registration.    Any Restricted Stock may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

        (iv)    Forfeiture.    Upon a Participant's termination during the applicable Restricted Period, whether voluntary or involuntary (and including without limitation termination on account of death, disability, or retirement), all Restricted Stock shall be forfeited by the Participant and re-acquired by the Company. However, the Committee may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such Participant's Restricted Stock, provided, however, if the Award is intended to qualify as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, such waiver may be only upon a termination due to death or disability or a Change of Control of the Company or other event permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code.

        (v)    Transfer Restrictions.    During the Restricted Period, Restricted Stock will be subject to such limitations on transfer as necessary to comply with Section 83 of the Code.

        (c)    Performance Awards.    The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Participants who shall receive a Performance Award, which shall be denominated as a cash amount at the time of grant and confer on the Participant the right to receive payment of all or part of such Award upon the achievement of such performance objectives during such Restricted Periods as the Committee shall establish with respect to the Award.

        (i)    Terms and Conditions.    Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine the performance objectives to be achieved during the applicable Restricted Period, the length of the Restricted Period, the amount of any Performance Award and the amount of any payment to be made pursuant to the vesting of any Performance Award.

        (ii)    Payment of Performance Awards.    Performance Awards are earned when the Restricted Period has elapsed. Performance Awards may be paid (in cash and/or in Shares, in the sole discretion of the Committee) in a lump sum or in installments promptly following the close of the Restricted Period, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee with respect to such Award.

        (iii)    Forfeiture.    Upon a Participant's termination during the applicable Restricted Period, whether voluntary or involuntary (and including without limitation termination on account of death, disability, or retirement), all Performance Awards shall be forfeited by the Participant. However, the Committee may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such Participant's Performance Award; provided, however, if the Award is intended to qualify as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, such waiver may be only upon a termination due to death or disability or a Change of Control of the Company or other event permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code.

        (d)    Phantom Shares.    The Committee shall have the authority to grant Awards of Phantom Shares to such Participants upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may determine.

6

        (i)    Terms and Conditions.    Each Phantom Share Award shall constitute an agreement by the Company to issue or transfer a specified number of Shares or pay an amount of cash equal to the Fair Market Value of a specified number of Shares, or a combination thereof to the Participant in the future, subject to the fulfillment during the Restricted Period of such conditions, including performance objectives, if any, as the Committee may specify at the date of grant. During the Restricted Period, the Participant shall not have any rights of ownership in or with respect to the Phantom Shares. Phantom Shares shall be earned upon the lapse of the Restricted Period. The Committee shall cause the corresponding number of Shares to be issued or transferred, or shall cause the corresponding amount to be paid promptly thereafter.

        (ii)    Dividend Equivalents.    Any Phantom Share award may provide, in the discretion of the Committee, that any or all dividends or other distributions paid on a corresponding number of Shares during the Restricted Period be credited in a cash bookkeeping account (with or without interest) or that equivalent additional Phantom Shares be awarded, which account or Phantom Shares may be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying Award or such other restrictions as the Committee may determine.

        (iii)    Forfeiture.    Upon a Participant's termination during the applicable Restricted Period, whether voluntary or involuntary (and including without limitation termination on account of death, disability, or retirement), all Phantom Shares shall be forfeited by the Participant. However, the Committee may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such Participant's Phantom Shares, provided, however, if the Award is intended to qualify as performance based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, such waiver may be only upon a termination due to death or disability or a Change of Control of the Company or such other event permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code.

        (e)    SARs.    The Committee shall have the authority to determine the Participants to whom SARs shall be granted, the number of SARs to be granted, the exercise price and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the SAR, including performance objectives, if any, and the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions, as the Committee shall determine, that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

        (i)    Exercise Price.    The exercise price per SAR shall be determined by the Committee at the time the SAR is granted, but, except with respect to a Substitute Award, shall not be less than the Fair Market Value per Share on the effective date of such grant.

        (ii)    Time of Exercise.    The Committee shall determine and provide in the Award Agreement the time or times at which a SAR may be exercised in whole or in part.

        (iii)    Method of Payment.    Unless provided in the Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether the SAR shall be paid in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of the two, provided however, that Participants who are subject to the tax laws of the United States of America will not receive cash as either full or partial payment upon the exercise of any SAR.

        (iv)    Forfeiture.    Upon a Participant's termination, whether voluntary or involuntary (and including without limitation termination on account of death, disability, or retirement), all such Participant's SARs as to which the Restricted Period has not elapsed as of the date of termination shall be forfeited, and all such Participant's SARs as to which the Restricted Period has elapsed as of the date of termination shall remain exercisable for the period of time set forth in the Award Agreement, after which time any such SARs which remain unexercised shall be forfeited. However, the Committee may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to a Participant's SARs.

        (f)    Substitute Awards.    Awards may be granted under the Plan in substitution of similar awards held by individuals who become Employees, Consultants or Directors as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of another entity or the assets of another entity. Such Substitute Awards, if an Option or SAR, may have an exercise price less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of such substitution, to the extent necessary to preserve the value of the award, and will become exercisable upon the lapse of the Restricted Period. Such Substitute Awards, if Restricted Stock or Phantom Shares, shall be earned by the Participant, and promptly issued, transferred, or paid, upon the lapse of the Restricted Period.

        (g)    Other Stock-Based Award.    The Committee may also grant to Participants an Other Stock-Based Award, which shall consist of a right which is an Award denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares as is deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, which may include Shares paid in lieu of cash compensation, whether as a bonus or part of deferred compensation or any other arrangement. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions, including performance objectives, if any, of any such Other Stock-Based Award. Such Other Stock-Based Award, if an Option or SAR, will become exercisable upon the lapse of the Restricted Period. Such Other Stock-Based Award, if Restricted Stock or Phantom Shares, shall be earned by the Participant, and promptly issued, transferred, or paid, upon the lapse of the Restricted Period.

        (h)    General.    

        (i)    Award Agreements.    An Award Agreement may be delivered to each Participant to whom an Award is granted. The terms of the Award Agreement shall be as determined by the Committee, so long as they are consistent with the Plan, and may not be amended, except as provided in the Plan as in effect at the time the Award is granted.

        (ii)    Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together.    Awards may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, or in tandem with, any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the Company or any Subsidiary may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards. However, in no event may a SAR granted to a Participant who is subject to tax under Section 409A of the Code be granted in tandem with another Award under the Plan.

        (iii)    Limits on Transfer of Awards.    

        (A)  Except as provided in paragraph (C) below, each Award, and each right under any Award, shall be exercisable only by the Participant during the Participant's lifetime, or if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant's guardian or legal representative as determined by the Committee.

        (B)  Except as provided in paragraph (C) below, no Award and no right under any such Award may be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and any such purported prohibited assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Subsidiary.

        (C)  To the extent specifically approved in writing by the Committee, an Award (other than an Incentive Stock Option, and subject, in the case of Restricted Stock to Section 83 of the Code) may be transferred to immediate family members or related family trusts, limited partnerships or similar entities or other Persons on such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish or approve.
