Where this Plan specifies that an action is to be taken or a determination made by the Board, only the Board may take that action or make that determination. Where this Plan references the Administrator, the action may be taken or determination made by the Board, the Committee, or other Administrator. However, only the Board or the Committee may approve grants of Options to Executives, and an Administrator other than the Board or the Committee may grant Options only within guidelines established by the Board or the Committee. Moreover, all actions and determinations by any Administrator are subject to the provisions of this Plan.

4.3 Scope of Discretion. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.3, on all matters for which this Plan confers the authority, right, or power on the Board, the Committee, or other Administrator to make decisions, that body may make those decisions in its sole and absolute discretion. Moreover, but again subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.3, in making those decisions the Board, the Committee, or other Administrator need not treat all persons eligible to receive Awards, all Participants, all Awards or all Shares subject to Awards the same way. However, the discretion of the Board, the Committee, or other Administrator is subject to the specific provisions and specific limitations of this Plan, as well as all rights conferred on specific Participants by Award Agreements and other agreements.

5. Persons Eligible to Receive Awards

5.1 Eligible Individuals. Options and Stock Awards may be granted to, and only to, Employees, Directors and Consultants, including to prospective Employees, Directors and Consultants conditioned on the beginning of their service for the Company or an Affiliate, provided that Incentive Stock Options many only be granted to Employees, as provided in Section 7(g).

5.2 Section 162(m) Limitation. So long as the Company is a “publicly held corporation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, no Employee or prospective Employee may be granted one or more Options or Stock Awards within any fiscal year of the Company to purchase more than 750,000 Shares, subject to adjustment under Section 11. If an Award is cancelled without being exercised or if the Option Price of an Option is reduced, that cancelled or repriced Award shall continue to be counted against the limit on Awards that may be granted to any individual under this Section 5.2.

6. Terms and Conditions of Options

The following rules apply to all Options:

6.1 Price. No Option may have an Option Price less than 50% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Grant Date. No Option intended as “qualified incentive-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code may have an Option Price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Grant Date. In no event will the Option Price of any Option be less than the par value of the Shares issuable under the Option if that is required by Applicable Law. The Option Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to Section 7(f).

6.2 No Option Repricings. Other than in accordance with Section 11, Options may not be repriced, replaced, regranted through cancellation or modified without stockholder approval, if the effect of the repricing, replacement, regrant or modification would be to reduce the effective Option Price of the Options.

6.3 Term. No Option shall be exercisable after its Expiration Date. No Option may have an Expiration Date that is more than 10 years after its Grant Date. The term of an Incentive Stock Option shall be subject to Sections 7(a) and 7(e).

6.4 Vesting.

(a) Options shall be exercisable: (a) on the Grant Date, or (b) in accordance with a schedule related to the Grant Date, the date the Optionee’s directorship, employment, or consultancy begins, or a different date specified in the Option Agreement. If so provided in the Option Agreement, an Option may be exercisable subject to the application of Reverse Vesting to the Option Shares. The vesting of Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to Section 7(c).

(b) The Administrator shall have the discretion to determine whether and to what extent the vesting of Options shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence; provided, however, that in the absence of such determination, vesting of Options shall be tolled during any leave that is not a leave required to be provided to the Optionee under Applicable Law. In the event of military leave, vesting shall toll during any unpaid portion of such leave, provided that, upon an Optionee’s returning from military leave (under conditions that would entitle him or her to protection upon such return under the Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act), he or she shall be given vesting credit with respect to Options to the same extent as would have applied had the Optionee continued to provide services to the Company throughout the leave on the same terms as he or she was providing services immediately prior to such leave.

6.5 Form of Payment

(a) The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form and method of payment for exercising an Option.

(b) Acceptable forms of payment for all Option Shares are cash, check or wire transfer, denominated in U.S. dollars except as specified by the Administrator for non-U.S. Employees or non-U.S. sub-plans.

(c) In addition, the Administrator may permit payment of the Option Price to be made by any of the following methods:

(i) other Shares, or the designation of other Shares, which (A) if required to avoid the Company’s incurring adverse accounting charges, in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an option (whether or not under this Plan) are “mature” shares for purposes of avoiding variable accounting treatment under generally accepted accounting principals (generally, mature shares are those that have been owned by the Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender), and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the Option Price of the Shares as to which the Option is being exercised;

(ii) provided that a public market exists for the Shares, through a “same day sale” commitment from the Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers (an “NASD Dealer”) under which the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits to forward an amount equal to the Option Price plus any applicable withholding taxes, directly to the Company, upon receipt of the Option Shares (a “Cashless Exercise”);

(iii) cancellation of any debt owed by the Company or by any Affiliate to the Optionee, including, without limitation, waiver of compensation due or accrued for services previously rendered to the Company; and

(iv) any combination of the methods of payment permitted by any paragraph of this Section 6.5.

(d) The Administrator may also permit any other form or method of payment for Option Shares permitted by Applicable Law.

6.6 Nonassignability of Nonstatutory Options. Except as set forth in any Option Agreement or as determined by the Administrator, no Nonstatutory Option shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Optionee except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution; provided however, Nonstatutory Options may be transferred and exercised in accordance with a Qualified Domestic Relations Order and Nonstatutory Options may be exercised by a guardian or conservator appointed to act for the Optionee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Nonstatutory Options may be transferred by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the Nonstatutory Options are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the trustor (settlor) or by gift or pursuant to domestic relations orders to “Immediate Family Members” (as defined below) of the Optionee. “Immediate Family” means any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law (including adoptive relationships), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or the Optionee) control the management of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or the Optionee) own more than fifty percent of the voting interests. Incentive Stock Options may only be assigned subject to Section 7(h).

7. Incentive Stock Options

The following rules apply only to Incentive Stock Options and only to the extent these rules are more restrictive than the rules that would otherwise apply under this Plan. With the consent of the Optionee, or where this Plan provides that an action may be taken notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Administrator may deviate from the requirements of this Section, notwithstanding that any Incentive Stock Option modified by the Administrator will thereafter be treated as a Nonstatutory Option.

(a) The Expiration Date of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be later than 10 years from its Grant Date, with the result that no Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of 10 years from its Grant Date.

(b) No Incentive Stock Option may be granted more than 10 years from the date this Plan was approved by the Board.

(c) Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options that are granted to any single Optionee under all incentive stock option plans of the Company and its Affiliates, including Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan, may not become exercisable at a rate of more than $100,000 in Fair Market Value of stock (measured on the grant dates of the options) during any calendar year. For this purpose, an Option becomes exercisable with respect to a given share of stock the first time its holder may purchase that share, notwithstanding any right of the Company to repurchase that share. Unless the Administrator specifies otherwise in the related agreement governing the Option, this limitation shall be applied by, to the extent necessary to satisfy this $100,000 rule, treating certain stock options that were intended to be Incentive Stock Options as Nonstatutory Options. The stock options or portions of stock options to be reclassified as Nonstatutory Options are those with the highest option prices, whether granted under this Plan or any other equity compensation plan of the Company or any Affiliate that permits that treatment. This Section 7(c) shall not cause an Incentive Stock Option to become exercisable before its original vesting or exercisability date or cause an Incentive Stock Option that has already vested or become exercisable to cease to be vested or exercisable.

(d) In order for an Incentive Stock Option to be exercised for any form of payment other than those described in Section 6.5(b), that right must be stated in the Option Agreement relating to that Incentive Stock Option.

(e) Any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, must have an Expiration Date that is not later than five years from its Grant Date, with the result that no such Option may be exercised after the expiration of five years from the Grant Date. A “Ten Percent Stockholder” is any person who, directly or by attribution under Section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of any Affiliate on the Grant Date.

(f) The Option Price of an Incentive Stock Option shall never be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the Grant Date. The Option Price for the Shares covered by an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder shall never be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the Grant Date.

(g) Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. If an Optionee changes status from an Employee to a Consultant, that Optionee’s Incentive Stock Options become Nonstatutory Options if not exercised within the time period described in Section 7(i).

(h) No rights under an Incentive Stock Option may be transferred by the Optionee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. During the life of the Optionee, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Optionee.

(i) An Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Option if it remains exercisable after, and is not exercised within, the three-month period beginning with the Optionee’s Termination for any reason other than the Optionee’s death or disability (as defined in Section 22(c) of the Code). In the case of Termination due to death, an Incentive Stock Option shall continue to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option if it remains exercisable after, but is not exercised within, the one year period provided it is exercised before the Expiration Date. In the case of Termination due to disability, an Incentive Stock Option shall be treated as a Nonstatutory Option if it remains exercisable after, but is not exercised within, one year after the Optionee’s Termination.

(j) An Incentive Stock Option may be modified by the Board.

8. Exercise of Options

8.1 In General. An Option shall be exercisable in accordance with this Plan, the Option Agreement under which it is granted, and as prescribed by the Administrator.

8.2 Time of Exercise. An Option shall be considered exercised when the Company receives: (a) written notice of exercise from the person entitled to exercise the Option, (b) full payment, or provision for payment, in a form and method approved by the Administrator, for the Shares for which the Option is being exercised, and (c) with respect to Nonstatutory Options, payment, or provision for payment, in a form approved by the Administrator, of all applicable withholding taxes due upon exercise. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

8.3 Issuance of Option Shares. The Company shall issue Option Shares in the name of the person properly exercising the Option. If the Optionee is that person and so requests, the Option Shares shall be issued in the name of the Optionee and the Optionee’s spouse. The Company shall endeavor to issue Option Shares promptly after an Option is exercised. However, until Option Shares are actually issued, as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the stock books of the Company or its transfer agent, no right to vote or receive dividends or other distributions, and no other rights as a stockholder, shall exist with respect to the Option Shares, even though the Optionee has completed all the steps necessary to exercise the Option. No adjustment shall be made for any dividend, distribution, or other right for which the record date precedes the date the Option Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 11.

8.4 Termination

(a) In General. Except as provided in an Option Agreement or in writing by the Administrator, and as otherwise provided in Sections 8.4(b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h), after an Optionee’s Termination the Optionee’s Options shall be exercisable to the extent (but only to the extent) they are vested on the date of that Termination and only during the three months (or such other period of time as is determined by the Administrator) after the Termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date. To the extent the Optionee does not exercise an Option within the time specified for exercise, the Option shall automatically terminate.

(b) Leaves of Absence. Unless otherwise provided in the Option Agreement, no Option may be exercised more than three months (or such other period of time as is determined by the Administrator) after the beginning of a leave of absence, other than a personal, medical or military leave approved by the Administrator with employment guaranteed upon return.

(c) Death or Disability. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator or in the Option Agreement, if an Optionee’s Termination is due to death or disability (as determined by the Administrator with respect to Nonstatutory Options and as defined by Section 22(e) of the Code with respect to Incentive Stock Options), all Options of that Optionee to the extent they are vested at the date of that Termination may be exercised for one year (or such other period of time as is determined by the Administrator) after that Termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date. In the case of Termination due to death, an Option may be exercised as provided in Section 19. In the case of Termination due to disability, if a guardian or conservator has been appointed to act for the Optionee and been granted this authority as part of that appointment, that guardian or conservator may exercise the Option on behalf of the Optionee. Death or disability occurring after an Optionee’s Termination shall not cause the Termination to be treated as having occurred due to death or disability. To the extent an Option is not so exercised within the time specified for its exercise, the Option shall automatically terminate.

(d) Divestiture. If an Optionee’s Termination is due to a Divestiture, the Board may take any one or more of the actions described in Section 11.3 or 11.5.

(e) Retirement. Unless otherwise provided in the Option Agreement or by the Administrator in writing, if an Optionee’s Termination is due to the Optionee’s retirement in accordance with the Company’s or an Affiliate’s retirement policy, all Options of that Optionee to the extent they are vested at the Optionee’s date of retirement may be exercised for three months (or such other period of time as is determined by the Administrator) after the Optionee’s date of retirement, but in no event after the Expiration Date. To the extent the Optionee does not exercise an Option within the time specified for exercise, the Option shall automatically terminate.

(f) Severance Programs. Unless otherwise provided in the Option Agreement or by the Administrator in writing, if an Optionee’s Termination results from participation in a voluntary severance incentive program of the Company or an Affiliate approved by the Board, all Options of that Employee to the extent they are vested at the time of that Termination shall be exercisable for three months (or such other period of time as is determined by the Administrator) after the Optionee’s Termination, but in no event after the Expiration Date. If the Optionee does not exercise an Option within the time specified for exercise, the Option shall automatically terminate.

(g) Termination for Cause. If an Optionee’s Termination is due to Cause (as defined below), all of the Optionee’s Options shall automatically terminate and cease to be exercisable at the time of such termination and all Options exercised after the first event constituting Cause may be rescinded by the Administrator. “Cause” means breach of any provision of a Key Employment Agreement, Secure Computing Corporation Employment Agreement or any other agreement between the Company or any of its Affiliates and an Optionee, employment-related dishonesty, fraud, misconduct or disclosure or misuse of confidential information, or other employment-related conduct that is likely to cause significant injury to the Company, an Affiliate, or any of their respective employees, officers or directors (including, without limitation, commission of a felony or similar offense), in each case as determined by the Administrator. “Cause” shall not require that a civil judgment or criminal conviction have been entered against or guilty plea shall have been made by the Optionee regarding any of the matters referred to in the previous sentence. Accordingly, the Administrator shall be entitled to determine “Cause” based on the Administrator’s good faith belief. If the Optionee is criminally charged with a felony or similar offense, that shall be a sufficient, but not a necessary, basis for such a belief.

9. Stock Grants and Stock Unit Awards. Each Stock Award Agreement reflecting the issuance of a Stock Grant or Stock Unit shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of such agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate agreements need not be identical, but each such agreement shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

9.1 Consideration. A Stock Grant or Stock Unit may be awarded in consideration for such property or services as is permitted under Applicable Law, including for past services actually rendered to the Company or an Affiliate for its benefit.

9.2 Vesting. Shares of Common Stock awarded under an agreement reflecting a Stock Grant and a Stock Unit award may, but need not, be subject to a share repurchase option, forfeiture restriction or other conditions in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting or lapse schedule to be determined by the Administrator.

9.3 Termination. In the event of a Participant’s Termination, the Company may reacquire any or all of the Shares held by the Participant which have not vested or which are otherwise subject to forfeiture or other conditions as of the date of Termination under the terms of the Stock Award Agreement.

9.4 Transferability. Except as determined by the Board and reflected in the Stock Award Agreement, no rights to acquire Shares under a Stock Grant or a Stock Unit shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

10. Stock Appreciation Rights

10.1 In General. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan. The Administrator may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to eligible Participants subject to terms and conditions not inconsistent with this Plan and determined by the Administrator. The specific terms and conditions applicable to the Participant shall be provided for in the Stock Award Agreement. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at such times as the Administrator shall specify in the Stock Award Agreement.

10.2 Exercise of Stock Appreciation Right. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, in whole or in part, the Participant shall be entitled to a payment in an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of a fixed number of Shares covered by the exercised portion of the Stock Appreciation Right, over the Fair Market Value on the grant date of the Shares covered by the exercised portion of the Stock Appreciation Right (or if reflected in the Stock Award Agreement, such other amount calculated with respect to Shares subject to the award as the Administrator may determine). The amount due to the Participant upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be paid in such form of consideration as determined by the Administrator and may be in cash, Shares or a combination thereof, over the period or periods specified in the Stock Award Agreement. A Stock Award Agreement may place limits on the amount that may be paid over any specified period or periods upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, on an aggregate basis or as to any Participant. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be considered exercised when the Company receives written notice of exercise in accordance with the terms of the Stock Award Agreement from the person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right.

10.3 Transferability. Except as determined by the Board and reflected in the Stock Award Agreement, no Stock Appreciation Rights shall be assignable or otherwise transferable by the Participant except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

11. Certain Transactions and Events

11.1 In General. Except as provided in this Section 11, no change in the capital structure of the Company, merger, sale, or other disposition of assets or a subsidiary, change of control, issuance by the Company of shares of any class of securities convertible into shares of any class, conversion of securities, or other transaction or event shall require or be the occasion for any adjustments of the type described in this Section 11.

11.2 Changes in Capital Structure. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination or reclassification of stock, stock dividend, spin-off, or similar change to the capital structure of the Company (not including a Fundamental Transaction or an Event), the Board shall make whatever adjustments it concludes are appropriate to: (a) the number and type of Awards that may be granted under this Plan, (b) the number and type of Awards that may be granted to any individual under this Plan, including under Section 5.2 of this Plan, (c) the Option Price or Stock Award price, if any, and number and class of securities issuable under each outstanding Award, and (d) the repurchase price of any securities substituted for Award Shares that are subject to repurchase rights. The specific adjustments shall be determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion. Unless the Board specifies otherwise, any securities issuable as a result of any such adjustment shall be rounded to the next lower whole security.

11.3 Fundamental Transactions. If the Company merges with another entity in a transaction in which the Company is not the surviving entity or if, as a result of any other transaction or event, other securities are substituted for the Shares or Shares may no longer be issued (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board shall do one or more of the following contingent on the closing or completion of the Fundamental Transaction: (a) arrange for the substitution in exchange for Awards of awards on equity securities other than Shares (including, if appropriate, equity securities of an entity other than the Company) (an “assumption” of Options) on such terms and conditions as the Board determines are appropriate, (b) accelerate the vesting and/or exercisability and termination of any restrictions of outstanding Awards, in whole or in part, so that Awards can be exercised before or otherwise in connection with the closing or completion of a Fundamental Transaction or event but then terminate, (c) cancel or arrange for the cancellation of Awards in exchange for cash payments to Participants, and (d) either arrange for any repurchase rights of the Company with respect to Award Shares to apply to the securities issued in substitution for Shares or terminate repurchase rights on Award Shares. The Board need not adopt the same rules for each Award or each Participant.

11.4 Events. The majority of the “Incumbent Board” (as defined below) may also, but need not, specify that other transactions or events constitute an “Event,” as set forth below. In connection with an Event, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Incumbent Board may take any one or more of the actions described in Section 11.3. In addition, the Incumbent Board may extend the date for the exercise of Options (but not beyond their original Expiration Date). The Incumbent Board need not adopt the same rules for each Award or each Participant. Examples of transactions or events that the Incumbent Board may treat as an Event are:

(1) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Exchange Act Rule 13d-3) of 20% (except for acquisitions by any individual, entity or group that, prior to the Effective Date, owns 20% or more of any class of capital stock of the Company) or more of either (i) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of the Board (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the following acquisitions shall not constitute an Event:

(A) any acquisition of voting securities of the Company directly from the Company,

(B) any acquisition of voting securities of the Company by the Company or any of its wholly owned “Subsidiaries” (as defined in Section 424 of the Code),

(C) any acquisition of voting securities of the Company by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or

(D) any acquisition by any corporation with respect to which, immediately following such acquisition, more than 60% of respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such acquisition in substantially the same proportions as was their ownership, immediately prior to such acquisition, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be;

(2) Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a Company Director subsequent to the Effective Date whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Company Directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest which was (or, if threatened, would have been) subject to Exchange Act Rule 14a-11;

(3) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or statutory exchange of Outstanding Company Voting Securities, unless immediately following such reorganization, merger, consolidation or exchange, all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation or exchange beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such reorganization, merger, consolidation or exchange in substantially the same proportions as was their ownership, immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation or exchange, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be; or

(4) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of (i) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or (ii) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, other than to a corporation with respect to which, immediately following such sale or other disposition, more than 60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of such corporation and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors is then beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such sale or other disposition in substantially the same proportion as was their ownership, immediately prior to such sale or other disposition, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the above, an Event shall not be deemed to occur with respect to a Participant if the acquisition of the 20% or greater interest referred to in paragraph (1) is by a group, acting in concert, that includes that Participant or if at least 40% of the then outstanding common stock or combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities (or voting equity interests) of the surviving corporation or of any corporation (or other entity) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of the Company shall be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, immediately after a reorganization, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or sale or other disposition of assets referred to in paragraphs (3) or (4) by a group, acting in concert, that includes that Participant.

11.5 Divestiture. If the Company or an Affiliate sells or otherwise transfers equity securities of an Affiliate to a person or entity other than the Company or an Affiliate, or leases, exchanges or transfers all or any portion of its assets to such a person or entity, then the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, may specify that such transaction or event constitutes a “Divestiture”. In connection with a Divestiture, notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board may take one or more of the actions described in Section 11.3 with respect to Awards or Award Shares held by, for example, Employees, Directors or Consultants for whom that transaction or event results in a Termination. The Board need not adopt the same rules for each Award or each Participant.

11.6 Dissolution. If the Company adopts a plan of dissolution, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cause Awards to be fully vested and exercisable (but not after their Expiration Date) before the dissolution is completed but contingent on its completion and may cause the Company’s repurchase rights on Award Shares to lapse upon completion of the dissolution. To the extent not exercised or settled before the earlier of the completion of the dissolution or their Expiration Date, Awards shall terminate just before the dissolution is completed. The Board need not adopt the same rules for each Award or each Participant.

11.7 Cut-Back to Preserve Benefits. If the Administrator determines that the net after-tax amount to be realized by any Participant, taking into account any accelerated vesting, termination of repurchase rights, or cash payments to that Participant in connection with any transaction or event addressed in this Section 11, would be greater if one or more of those steps were not taken with respect to that Participant’s Awards or Award Shares, then and to that extent one or more of those steps shall not be taken.

11.8 Substitute Awards. The Board may cause the Company to grant Substitute Awards in connection with the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of equity securities of any entity (including by merger) or all or a portion of the assets of any entity. Any such substitution shall be effective when the acquisition closes. Unless and to the extent specified otherwise by the Board, Substitute Awards shall have the same terms and conditions as the options they replace, except that (subject to Section 11) Substitute Awards shall be Awards to purchase Shares rather than equity securities of the granting entity and shall have an exercise or purchase price that, as determined by the Board in its sole and absolute discretion, properly reflects the substitution.

12. Withholding and Tax Reporting

12.1 Tax Withholding Option

(a) General. Whenever Award Shares are granted, vest, transferred, purchased, issued or become free of restrictions, the Company may require the Participant to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirement, whether the related tax is imposed on the Participant or the Company. The Company shall have no obligation to deliver Award Shares or release Award Shares from an escrow or permit a transfer of Award Shares until the Participant has satisfied those tax withholding obligations. Whenever payment in satisfaction of Awards is made in cash, the payment will be reduced by an amount sufficient to satisfy all tax withholding requirements.

(b) Method of Payment. The Participant shall pay any required withholding using the forms of consideration described in Section 6.5(b), except that, in the discretion of the Administrator, the Company may also permit the Participant to use any of the forms of payment described in Section 6.5(c). The Administrator may also permit Award Shares to be withheld to pay required withholding. If the Administrator permits Award Shares to be withheld, the Fair Market Value of the Award Shares withheld shall not exceed the amount determined by the applicable minimum statutory withholding rates and shall be determined as of the date that the amount of tax to be withheld or tendered for this purpose is to be determined.

12.2 Reporting of Dispositions. Any holder of Option Shares acquired under an Incentive Stock Option shall promptly notify the Administrator in writing of the sale or other disposition of any of those Option Shares if the disposition occurs during: (a) the longer of two years after the Grant Date of the Incentive Stock Option and one year after the date the Incentive Stock Option was exercised, or (b) such other period as the Administrator has established.

13. Consulting or Employment Relationship

Nothing in this Plan or in any Award Agreement, and no Award or the fact that Award Shares remain subject to repurchase rights, shall: (a) interfere with or limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate the employment or consultancy of any Participant at any time, whether with or without cause or reason, and with or without the payment of severance or any other compensation or payment, or (b) interfere with the application of any provision in any of the Company’s or any Affiliate’s charter documents or Applicable Law relating to the election, appointment, term of office, or removal of a Director.

14. Section 162(m) Compliance

Any Stock Award (other than an Option or any other Stock Award having a purchase price equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date such Award is made) that is intended as “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code must vest or become exercisable contingent on the achievement of one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee shall have the discretion to determine the time and manner of compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code as required under applicable regulations and to conform the procedures related to the Award to the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and may reduce the number of Shares granted or amount of cash or other property to which a Participant may otherwise have been entitled with respect to an Award designed to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

15. Compliance with Law

The grant of Awards and the issuance and subsequent transfer of Award Shares shall be subject to compliance with all Applicable Laws, including all applicable securities laws. Awards may not be exercised or settled, and Award Shares may not be transferred, in violation of Applicable Law. Thus, for example, Options may not be exercised unless: (a) a registration statement under the Securities Act is then in effect with respect to the related Option Shares, or (b) in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, those Option Shares may be issued in accordance with an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws. The Company is under no requirement to register any Award Shares, and the failure or inability of the Company to obtain from any regulatory body the authority considered by the Company’s legal counsel to be necessary or useful for the lawful issuance of any Award Shares or their subsequent transfer shall relieve the Company of any liability for failing to issue those Award Shares or permitting their transfer. As a condition to the exercise or settlement of any Award or the transfer of any Award Shares, the Company may require the Participant to satisfy any requirements or qualifications that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with or evidence compliance with any Applicable Law.

16. Amendment or Termination of this Plan or Outstanding Awards

16.1 Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, suspend, or terminate this Plan.

16.2 Stockholder Approval. The Company shall obtain the approval of the Company’s stockholders for any amendment to this Plan if stockholder approval is necessary or desirable to comply with any Applicable Laws or with the requirements applicable to the grant of Options intended to be Incentive Stock Options. The Board may also, but need not, require that the Company’s stockholders approve any other amendments to this Plan. In addition, unless approved by the stockholders of the Company, no amendment shall be made that would result in a repricing of Options by (x) reducing the exercise price of outstanding Options or (y) canceling an outstanding Option held by a Participant and re-granting to the Participant a new Option with a lower exercise price, in either case other pursuant to Section 11 of the Plan.

16.3 Effect. No amendment, suspension, or termination of this Plan, and no modification of any Award even in the absence of an amendment, suspension, or termination of this Plan, shall impair any existing contractual rights of any Participant unless the affected Participant consents to the amendment, suspension, termination, or modification. However, no such consent shall be required if the Administrator determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the amendment, suspension, termination, or modification: (a) is required or advisable in order for the Company, the Plan, or the Award to satisfy Applicable Law, to meet the requirements of any accounting standard or to avoid any adverse accounting treatment, or (b) in connection with any transaction or event described in Section 11, is in the best interests of the Company or its stockholders. The Administrator may, but need not, take the tax consequences to affected Participants into consideration in acting under the preceding sentence. Termination of this Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it under this Plan with respect to Awards granted before the termination or Award Shares issued under such Awards even if those Award Shares are issued after the termination.

17. Reserved Rights

17.1 Nonexclusivity of this Plan. This Plan shall not limit the power of the Company or any Affiliate to adopt other incentive arrangements including, for example, the grant or issuance of stock options, stock, or other equity-based rights under other plans or independently of any plan.

17.2 Unfunded Plan. This Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants, any such accounts will be used merely as a convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets on account of this Plan, the grant of Awards, or the issuance of Award Shares. The Company and the Administrator shall not be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under this Plan. Any obligations of the Company to any Participant shall be based solely upon contracts entered into under this Plan, such as Award Agreements. No such obligation shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any assets of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any such obligation.

18. Special Arrangements Regarding Award Shares

18.1 Escrows and Pledges. To enforce any restrictions on Award Shares including restrictions related to Reverse Vesting, the Administrator may require their holder to deposit the certificates representing Award Shares, with stock powers or other transfer instruments approved by the Administrator endorsed in blank, with the Company or an agent of the Company to hold in escrow until the restrictions have lapsed or terminated. The Administrator may also cause a legend or legends referencing the restrictions to be placed on the certificates.

18.2 Repurchase Rights

(a) Reverse Vesting. If an Option is subject to Reverse Vesting, the Company shall have the right, during the seven months after the Optionee’s Termination, to repurchase any or all of the Option Shares that were unvested as of the date of that Termination, for a price equal to the lower of: (i) the Option Price for such Shares, minus the amount of any cash dividends paid or payable with respect to the Option Shares for which the record date precedes the repurchase, and (ii) the Fair Market Value of those Option Shares as of the date of the Termination. The repurchase price shall be paid in (i) cash, (ii) if the Option Shares were purchased in whole or in part for a promissory note, cancellation of indebtedness under that note, (iii) cancellation of any indebtedness owed by the Optionee to the Company or any Affiliate, or (iv) a combination of those means. The Company may assign this right of repurchase.

(b) Procedure. The Company or its assignee may choose to give the Optionee a written notice of exercise of its repurchase rights under this Section 18.2. However, the Company’s failure to give such a notice shall not affect its rights to repurchase Option Shares. The Company must, however, tender the repurchase price during the period specified in this Section 18.2 for exercising its repurchase rights in order to exercise such rights.

19. Beneficiaries

A Participant may file a written designation of one or more beneficiaries who are to receive the Participant’s rights under the Participant’s Awards after the Participant’s death. A Participant may change such a designation at any time by written notice. If a Participant designates a beneficiary, the beneficiary may exercise the Participant’s Awards after the Participant’s death. If a Participant dies when the Participant has no living beneficiary designated under this Plan, the Company shall allow the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate to exercise the Award or, if there is none, the person entitled to exercise the Award under the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. In any case, no Option may be exercised after its Expiration Date.

20. Miscellaneous

20.1 Governing Law. This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken under this Plan shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the State of Delaware.

20.2 Determination of Value. Fair Market Value shall be determined as follows:

(a) Listed Stock. If the Shares are traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, Fair Market Value shall be the closing sales price for the Shares as quoted on that stock exchange or system for the date the value is to be determined (the “Value Date”) as reported in The Wall Street Journal or a similar publication. If no sales are reported as having occurred on the Value Date, Fair Market Value shall be that closing sales price for the last preceding trading day on which sales of Shares are reported as having occurred. If no sales are reported as having occurred during the five trading days before the Value Date, Fair Market Value shall be the closing bid for Shares on the Value Date. If Shares are listed on multiple exchanges or systems, Fair Market Value shall be based on sales or bids on the primary exchange or system on which Shares are traded or quoted.

(b) Stock Quoted by Securities Dealer. If Shares are regularly quoted by a recognized securities dealer but selling prices are not reported on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system, Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the Value Date. If no prices are quoted for the Value Date, Fair Market Value shall be the mean between the high bid and low asked prices on the last preceding trading day on which any bid and asked prices were quoted.

(c) No Established Market. If Shares are not traded on any established stock exchange or quoted on a national market system and are not quoted by a recognized securities dealer, the Administrator (following guidelines established by the Board or Committee) will determine Fair Market Value in good faith. The Administrator will consider the following factors, and any others it considers significant, in determining Fair Market Value: (i) the price at which other securities of the Company have been issued to purchasers other than Employees, Directors, or Consultants, (ii) the Company’s net worth, prospective earning power, dividend-paying capacity, and non-operating assets, if any, and (iii) any other relevant factors, including the economic outlook for the Company and the Company’s industry, the Company’s position in that industry, the Company’s goodwill and other intellectual property, and the values of securities of other businesses in the same industry.

20.3 Reservation of Shares. During the term of this Plan, the Company will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as are still issuable under this Plan.

20.4 Electronic Communications. Any Award Agreement, notice of exercise of an Award, or other document required or permitted by this Plan may be delivered in writing or, to the extent determined by the Administrator, electronically. Signatures may also be electronic if permitted by the Administrator.

20.5 Notices. Unless the Administrator specifies otherwise, any notice to the Company under any Award Agreement or with respect to any Awards or Award Shares shall be in writing (or, if so authorized by Section 20.4, communicated electronically), shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company, and shall only be effective when received by the Secretary of the Company.
