ARTICLE III OPERATION OF THE PROGRAM 3.01 Eligibility. The initial Participants shall be those Employees, individuals or others as set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Plan. Prior to a Payout Event, additional Participants may be designated by the Board. The Unallocated Equity Pool, including any portion of the Payout Equity Pool forfeited or otherwise terminated in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof, will be distributed as determined by the Board; provided, however, that the Board shall not be required to distribute any of the Unallocated Equity Pool. The Board may, at the time of grant of a Plan interest to a Participant, establish vesting, forfeiture and other terms and conditions applicable to such grant. 3.02 Distribution of the Payout Equity Pool (a) As soon as practicable after the occurrence of a Payout Event, the Board shall determine and approve the Payout Equity Pool as of the date of the Payout Event. (b) As soon as practicable after the Board approves the calculation of the Payout Equity Pool, the Company shall pay to each Participant an amount equal to (i) the Payout Equity Pool multiplied by (ii) that Participant's Participation Percentage, reduced by (iii) that Participant's Option Value. (c) Payment of the amounts described in (b) above may be made in cash or in the same consideration as is paid to the Company's stockholders in connection with the Payout Event. Such determination shall be made by the Board. If some or all of such payment is paid in property other than cash, the value of the portion of such distribution or consideration not paid in cash shall be the 2 fair market value of such property as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event that all or any portion of payments made to Participants consists of consideration other than cash or immediately tradable securities, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate arrangements to ensure that Participants have sufficient cash as part of the payout under the Plan to pay taxes incurred with respect to such payments, or, if sufficient cash is not available for distribution as part of the payout, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to distribute as part of the payout publicly traded stock that has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, sufficient to pay such taxes. 3.03 Payments to Former Employees. If, at the time a payment is to be made pursuant to Section 3.02 above, a Participant is no longer employed by the Company, the Board shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether and under what conditions payment shall be made to such former Employee; provided, however, that the Board shall be entitled to make such determination at any time prior to such payment; and provided, further, that if the Participant is a party to an employment agreement with the Company, payment to such Participant shall be made in accordance with the terms of such agreement. 3.04 Certain Adjustments. In the event of any acquisition, stock issuance, reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company, other than a Payout Event, that would have the effect of diluting the percentage equity ownership (in the Company or its successor) of the Company's then existing stockholders, or enlarging the rights of Participants hereunder, the Board may make equitable and reasonable adjustments to the Participation Percentages of Participants and/or the method of calculating the Payout Equity Pool (including changes in the percentages set forth in Section 2.01(k)(i) and (ii)) in order to adjust the Payout Equity Pool to reflect approximately the same level of dilution to the Payout Equity Pool as the dilution of the Company's capital stock resulting from said transaction. ARTICLE IV AMENDMENT, TERMINATION AND CONVERSION 4.01 Amendment and Termination. The Board may, in its sole and complete discretion, amend or terminate this Plan at any time and for any reason that the Board deems necessary or appropriate. The termination or amendment of the Plan shall not adversely affect any Participant's rights previously granted under the Plan unless approved by Participants holding in the aggregate more than one-half of the total Participation Percentages then outstanding. This Plan shall terminate upon the payment of all amounts payable following Payout Event. 4.02 Plan Conversion. At any time after the adoption of this Plan, the Board may elect to replace this Plan in its entirety by a new equity-based compensation plan; provided, however, that any such new plan shall be substantially equivalent to or more favorable than this Plan for Participants from a financial and tax standpoint.
