(ii) If the Common Stock is regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported, its Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices for the Common Stock on the last market trading day prior to the day of determination; or (iii) In the absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Committee, with the Committee's determination being binding on the Company and the Participants for all purposes.

A stock option may be in the form of a nonqualified stock option or an incentive stock option ("ISO"). A nonqualified stock option is an option that does not meet the criteria of an ISO. An ISO, in addition to being subject to applicable terms, conditions and limitations established by the Committee, complies with Section 422 of the Code which, among other limitations, provides that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the option is granted) of Common Stock for which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000; that ISOs shall be priced at not less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of the grant (110% in the case of a Participant who is a 10% shareholder of the Company within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code); and that ISOs shall be exercisable for a period of not more than ten years (five years in the case of a Participant who is a 10% shareholder of the Company). 4 3. ELIGIBILITY. Current and prospective employees, non-employee directors, consultants or other persons who provide services to the Company eligible for an Award under the Plan are those who hold, or will hold, positions of responsibility and whose performance, in the judgment of the Committee or the management of the Company (if such responsibility is delegated pursuant to Section 6 hereof), can have a significant effect on the success of the Company. However, incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code may only be issued to employees of the Company and its subsidiary corporations within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. 4. COMMON STOCK AVAILABLE FOR AWARDS. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14 hereof, the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan for Awards during the term of the Plan is 3,731,300 shares of Common Stock, all of which may be in the form of incentive stock options. Any shares subject to an Award which are used, with the Company's consent, in settlement of tax withholding obligations shall be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan. Likewise, if any Stock Option is exercised by tendering shares, either actually or by attestation, to the Company as full or partial payment for such exercise under this Plan, only the number of shares issued net of the shares tendered shall be deemed issued for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares available for issuance under the Plan. No individual shall be eligible to receive Awards aggregating more than 300,000 shares of Common Stock reserved under the Plan in any one calendar year, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 13 hereof. 5. ADMINISTRATION. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have full and exclusive power to interpret the Plan, to determine which current and prospective employees, non-employee directors and consultants are Plan Participants, to grant waivers of Award restrictions, to determine the provisions of Award Agreements and to adopt such rules, regulations and guidelines for carrying out the Plan as it may deem necessary or proper, all of which powers shall be executed in the best interests of the Company and in keeping with the objectives of the Plan. All decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, Participants, and their estates and beneficiaries. 6. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may delegate to the chief executive officer and to other senior officers of the Company its duties under the Plan pursuant to such conditions or limitations as the Committee may establish. Any such delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time. 7. AWARDS. The Committee shall set forth in the related Award Agreement the terms, conditions, and limitations applicable to each Award including, but not limited to, continuous service with the Company, and conditions under which acceleration of vesting will occur. 8. STOCK OPTION EXERCISE. The price at which shares of Common Stock may be purchased under a Stock Option shall be paid in full at the time of the exercise in cash or by any other means permitted by the Committee, including by means of tendering shares of Common Stock, which have been held by the Participant for more than six months and have not been used 5 within the prior six-month period to exercise an option, either directly or by attestation, valued at Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, or any combination thereof. 9. TAX WITHHOLDING. The Company may defer making delivery with respect to Common Stock obtained pursuant to the exercise of an Award hereunder until the Participant has paid to the Company an amount equal to any income or employment tax withholding amounts imposed on current or former employees as a result of the exercise of the Award. If the Committee allows Common Stock to be used to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations, such stock shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value when the tax withholding is required to be made. 10. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN. The Board may, at any time, amend or terminate the Plan; provided, however, that (a) subject to Section 13 hereof, no amendment or termination may, in the absence of written consent to the change by the affected Participant (or, if the Participant is not then living, the affected beneficiary), adversely affect the rights of any Participant or beneficiary under any Award granted under the Plan prior to the date such amendment is adopted by the Board; and (b) without further approval of the shareholders of the Company, no amendment shall increase the number of shares of Common Stock which may be delivered pursuant to Awards hereunder, except for increases resulting from Section 13 hereof. 11. TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If the employment of a Participant terminates, or a non-employee director no longer serves on the Board, all unvested Awards shall immediately terminate and all vested but unexercised, deferred or unpaid Awards shall terminate 90 days after such termination of employment or service, except as provided in paragraphs 11 (a) and (b), below, and during such 90-day period shall be exercisable only to the extent provided in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that if a Participant's employment is terminated for Cause, to the extent the Award is not effectively exercised or has not vested prior to such termination, it shall lapse or be forfeited to the Company immediately upon termination. In all events, an Award will not be exercisable after the end of its term as set forth in the Award Agreement. (a) RETIREMENT. When a Participant's employment or service terminates as a result of Retirement, or early retirement with the consent of the Committee, the Committee (in the form of an Award Agreement or otherwise) may permit Awards to continue in effect beyond the date of Retirement, or early retirement, and/or the exercisability and vesting of any Award may be accelerated. (b) DEATH OR DISABILITY OF A PARTICIPANT. (i) In the event of a Participant's death, the Participant's estate or beneficiaries shall have a period of six (6) months (unless otherwise specified in his Award Agreement) within which to exercise any outstanding Award held by 6 the Participant under such terms, and to the extent, as may be specified in the applicable Award Agreement. Rights to any such outstanding Awards shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to subparagraph (iii) below, Awards so passing shall be exercised at such times and in such manner as if the Participant were living. (ii) In the event a Participant is deemed by the Company to have suffered a long-term disability within the meaning of the long-term disability coverage which the Company provides to its employees, or if there is no such coverage, a total and permanent disability (a "Disability"), the Award shall be exercisable pursuant to the terms of the applicable Award Agreement and for a period of six (6) months (unless otherwise specified in his Award Agreement). Awards may be exercised by the Participant, if legally competent, or a legally designated guardian or representative if the Participant is legally incompetent by virtue of such Disability. (iii) After the death or Disability of a Participant, the Committee may in its sole discretion at any time (1) terminate restrictions in Award Agreements and (2) accelerate any or all installments and rights. (iv) In the event of uncertainty as to interpretation of or controversies concerning this paragraph (b) of Section 11, the Committee's determinations shall be binding and conclusive. (c) NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. The Plan shall not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or service on the Board, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate any Participant's employment or service on the Board at any time. 12. NONASSIGNABILITY. Except as provided in subsection (b) of Section 11 and this Section 12, no Award under the Plan shall be assignable or transferable, or exercisable by anyone other than the Participant to whom it was granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee (in the form of an Award Agreement or otherwise) may permit Awards, other than incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, to be transferred to members of the Participant's immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of the Participant and/or such immediate family members, and to partnerships or other entities in which the Participant and/or such immediate family members own all the equity interests. For purposes of the preceding sentence, "immediate family" shall mean a Participant's spouse, issue, and spouses of his issue. 13. ADJUSTMENTS. In the event of any change in the outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of shares, recapitalization, merger, or similar event, the Committee may adjust proportionally (a) the number of shares of Common Stock (i) reserved under the Plan, (ii) for which Awards may be granted to an individual Participant, and (iii) covered by outstanding Awards; (b) the stock prices 7 related to outstanding Awards; and (c) the appropriate Fair Market Value and other price determinations for such Awards. In the event of any other change affecting the Common Stock or any distribution (other than normal cash dividends) to holders of Common Stock, such adjustments as may be deemed equitable by the Committee, including adjustments to avoid fractional shares, shall be made to give proper effect to such event. In the event of a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock, separation, reorganization or liquidation, the Committee shall be authorized to issue or assume Stock Options, whether or not in a transaction to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies, by means of substitution of new Stock Options for previously issued Stock Options or an assumption of previously issued Stock Options. 14. NOTICE. Any notice to the Company required by any of the provisions of the Plan shall be addressed to the director of finance of the Company in writing, and shall become effective when it is received by his office. 15. GOVERNING LAW. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and construed accordingly. 16. EFFECTIVE AND TERMINATION DATES. The effective date of the Plan is June 9, 2000. The Plan shall terminate on June 8, 2010 subject to earlier termination by the Board pursuant to Section 10, after which no Awards may be made under the Plan, but any such termination shall not affect Awards then outstanding or the authority of the Committee to continue to administer the Plan. 17. OTHER BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PROGRAMS. Payments and other benefits received by a Participant pursuant to an Award shall not be deemed a part of such Participant's regular, recurring compensation for purposes of the termination, indemnity or severance pay law of any country and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any other employee benefit plan, contract or similar arrangement, unless the Committee expressly determines otherwise. 18. DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY. Should dissolution or liquidation of the Company be envisaged, the Committee shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to authorize all Participants to exercise their Awards within a period which it shall determine, exempting them from the provisions of their Award Agreements pertaining to the exercise period of the Awards. All Awards not exercised during such period shall lapse upon the expiration of such period. In the absence of such authorization, any unvested Awards shall lapse upon the occurrence of the dissolution or liquidation. 19. MERGER, SPLIT-UP OR TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE COMPANY. In the event of a merger or a split-up of the Company, or the sale of substantially all the assets of the Company, the acquiring or transferee company, or one of its affiliates, shall replace the Company as regards its obligations vis a vis the Participants. In relation thereto, depending on the circumstances, it may be provided that: 8 (a) either the Awards will be exercisable for shares of the acquiring or transferee company, in which case the number and price of shares governed by the Awards shall be calculated on the basis of the exchange ratio applicable to the transaction. (b) or that each Award will be replaced by the acquiring or transferee company with an equivalent right. A right shall be deemed to be equivalent if it entitles its holder to the same compensation, regardless of the form thereof (shares, cash or otherwise), as that received by holders of Common Stock, it being specified that once the shareholders of the Company have been offered a choice of more than one form of compensation, the compensation to which the Participants shall be entitled shall be that which as been chosen by the holders of the majority of existing shares of Common Stock of the Company. However, as an alternative to the above-mentioned substitution of the acquiring or transferee company for the Company, the Committee shall be entitled to accelerate the vesting of all unvested Awards. In this case, the Committee shall inform the Participants in writing that all of their Awards may be exercised within a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of said notice and that Awards not exercised within said period shall lapse. 9 APPENDIX A PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to any Award granted under the Plan to a resident of the State of California made prior to a public offering of capital stock of the Company that is effected pursuant to a registration statement filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and only to the extent required by applicable law and, in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the following provisions and the provisions otherwise appearing in the Plan, the following provisions shall control, solely with respect to Stock Options or other awards granted under the Plan to residents of the State of California: 1. At no time shall the total number of shares of Company stock issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Stock Options granted pursuant to this Plan and the total number of shares provided for under any bonus or similar plan or agreement of the Company exceed the limitations set forth in Rule 260.140.45 promulgated under the California Code, based on the number of shares of the Company which are outstanding at the time the calculation is made. 2. The exercise price of a Stock Option granted to a California resident may not be less than 85% of the "fair value" (as defined by Rule 260.140.50 promulgated under the California Code) of the Company's Common Stock at the time the Stock Option is granted (or 110% of the "fair value" in the case of any person who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or its parent or subsidiary corporations at the time of such grant). 3. The exercise period of a Stock Option granted to a California resident shall be no longer than 120 months from the date the Stock Option is granted. 4. The number of securities purchasable and the exercise price thereof under the Stock Options will be adjusted proportionately in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or other distribution of the Company's equity securities without receipt of consideration by the Company, of or on the Company's class or series of securities underlying the Stock Option. 5. A Stock Option granted to a California resident shall not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or as permitted by Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 6. A Stock Option granted to a California resident shall become exercisable at the rate of at least 20% per year over 5 years from the date the Stock Option is granted, subject to reasonable conditions such as continued employment. However, in the case of a Stock Option granted to a California resident who is an officer, director, or consultant of the 10 Company or any of its affiliates, the Stock Option may become fully exercisable, subject to reasonable conditions such as continued employment, at any time or during any period established by the Company. 7. Unless employment is terminated for cause as defined by applicable law, the terms of the Plan or Award Agreement or a contract of employment, the right to exercise a Stock Option granted to a California resident in the event of termination of such Participant's employment (to the extent that such Participant is otherwise entitled to exercise on the date of termination of employment) shall terminate as follows: (a) At least 6 months from the date of termination if termination was caused by death or disability; or (b) At least 30 days from the date of termination if termination was caused by an event other than death or disability. 8. The Plan shall terminate on the earlier of ten years after the date the Plan is adopted or the date the Plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company 9. The Plan shall be available to California residents only if the shareholders of the Company approve the Plan within 12 months before or after the date the Plan is adopted. Any Stock Option exercised by a California resident before such stockholder approval is obtained shall be rescinded if such stockholder approval is not subsequently obtained and such shares shall not be counted in determining whether the required stockholder approval is obtained. 10. Each California resident participating in the Plan will be provided with a copy of the Company's annual financial statements (which need not be audited) in accordance with Section 260.140.46 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations. The Company shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees whose duties with the Company assure access to equivalent information. 11. The Company will comply with Section 260.140.1 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations with respect to the voting rights of Common Stock and similar equity securities. 12. At the discretion of the Committee, the Company may reserve to itself and/or its assignee(s) in the Award Agreement a right to repurchase securities held by an Award recipient upon such Award recipient's termination of employment at any time within 90 days after such Award recipient's termination date (or in the case of securities issued upon exercise of a Stock Option after the termination date, within 90 days after the date of such exercise) for cash or cancellation of purchase money indebtedness, at: (a) no less than the Fair Market Value of such securities as of the date of the Award recipient's termination of employment, PROVIDED, that such right to repurchase securities terminates when the Company's securities have become publicly traded; or (b) the Award recipient's original purchase price, PROVIDED, that such right to repurchase securities at the original purchase price lapses at the rate of at least 20% of the securities 11 per year over 5 years from the date the Stock Option is granted (without respect to the date the Stock Option was exercised or became exercisable). The securities held by an officer, director, manager or consultant of the Company or an affiliate may be subject to additional or greater restrictions. 13. The Plan is intended to comply with Section 25102(o) of the California Corporations Code. Any provision of this Plan which is inconsistent with Section 25102(o), including without limitation any provision of this Plan that is more restrictive than would be permitted by Section 25102(o) as amended from time to time, shall, without further act or amendment by the Board, be reformed to comply with the provisions of Section 25102(o). If at any time the Committee determines that the delivery of Common Stock under the Plan is or may be unlawful under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or federal or state securities laws, the right to exercise a Stock Option or receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option shall be suspended until the Committee determines that such delivery is lawful. The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Common Stock under federal or state laws. 12 AMENDMENT TO 2000 STOCK OPTION PLAN OF PICIS, INC. A.
