          (b) motivate participating employees, directors and consultants, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals;

are satisfied; (vi) to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, and to adopt, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as, in its opinion, may be advisable in the administration of the Plan; (vii) to determine the effect, if any, of a Change of Control upon outstanding Awards; and (viii) to construe and interpret the Plan and to make all other determinations as it may deem necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.
          (c) The Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter, such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, including terms requiring forfeiture of Awards in the event of the Participant’s termination of employment or other service with the Company and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Committee shall retain full power to accelerate or waive any such term or condition as it may have previously imposed. The right of a Participant to exercise or receive a grant or settlement of any Award, and the timing thereof, may be subject to such Performance Goals as may be specified by the Committee.
     1.5. Participation. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine and designate, from time to time, the employees, non-employee Board members and consultants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who will participate in the Plan. In the discretion of the Committee, a Participant may be awarded Stock Options or Restricted Stock, and more than one Award may be granted to a Participant. Except as otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Participant, any Award under the Plan shall not affect any previous Award to the Participant under the Plan or any other plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
     1.6. Shares Subject to the Plan. The shares of Stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan shall be either authorized and unissued shares or issued shares. Any shares of Stock issued by the Company through the assumption or substitution of outstanding grants in connection with the acquisition of another entity shall not reduce the maximum number of shares available for delivery under the Plan. Subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.12, the maximum number of shares of Stock available for issuance with respect to (i) Stock Options shall be 5,317,379 shares, increased by an amount such that the total number of shares available for issuance with respect to Stock Options shall be 5,317,379 shares plus 10% of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock in excess of 68,173,794 shares; provided, however, that such increase in shares over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 3,000,000 shares in the aggregate and (ii) Restricted Stock shall not exceed 17,276,723 shares (the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under clauses (i) and (ii), the “Plan Limit”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the maximum number of shares of Stock that may be delivered in respect of Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan shall not exceed 7,500,000 shares. If any shares of Stock subject to an Award are forfeited or such Award otherwise terminates or is settled for any reason whatsoever without an actual distribution of shares to the Participant, any shares counted against the number of shares available for issuance pursuant to the Plan with respect to such Award shall, to the extent of any such forfeiture, settlement, or termination, again be available for Awards under the Plan; provided, however, that the Committee may adopt procedures for the counting of shares of Stock

-7-


 

relating to any Award to ensure appropriate counting, avoid double counting, and provide for adjustments in any case in which the number of shares of Stock actually distributed differs from the number of shares of Stock previously counted in connection with such Award.
     1.7. Individual Limit. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.12, the maximum number of shares of Stock available for Awards that may be granted to any individual shall not exceed 1,500,000 shares during any calendar year (the “Individual Limit”).
     1.8. Compliance With Applicable Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no liability to issue any shares of Stock under the Plan unless such issuance would comply with all applicable laws and the applicable requirements of any national securities exchange or similar entity. Prior to the issuance of any shares of Stock under the Plan, the Company may require a written statement that the recipient is acquiring the shares for investment and not for the purpose or with the intention of distributing the shares. The Committee, in its discretion, may impose such conditions, restrictions and contingencies with respect to shares of Stock acquired pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option or in connection with an Award of Restricted Stock as the Committee determines to be desirable in order to comply with applicable laws and any applicable requirements of any national securities exchange or similar entity.
     1.9. Withholding of Taxes. Each Participant must make appropriate arrangements with the Company for the payment of any taxes relating to an Award granted hereunder. The Company or any Subsidiary, as applicable, may, in its discretion, withhold from any payment relating to any Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Stock or any payroll or other payment to a Participant, amounts of withholding and other taxes due in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable in its discretion to enable the Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include the ability to, in the Committee’s discretion, withhold or receive Stock or other property and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant’s tax withholding obligations. Withholding of taxes in the form of shares of Stock from the profit attributable to the Award shall not occur at a rate that exceeds the minimum required statutory federal and state withholding rates.
     1.10. Transferability. Incentive Stock Options are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Incentive Stock Options may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or, in the case of a Disabled Participant, by his guardian or legal representative on his behalf. Non-Qualified Stock Options are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, if provided by the Committee in the Award Agreement (as defined in Section 1.14 hereof), to Permitted Transferees in compliance with such Award Agreement. Non-Qualified Stock Options may be exercised either by the Participant, his guardian or legal representative in the case of a Disabled Participant and as otherwise permitted under the laws of descent and distribution, or by a Permitted Transferee to whom any such Non-Qualified Stock Options are transferred in compliance with the terms of the

-8-


 

applicable Award Agreement. During the Restricted Period, shares of Restricted Stock awarded under the Plan are not transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, if provided in the Award Agreement, to Permitted Transferees in compliance with such Award Agreement. Stock Options, Option Shares and shares of Restricted Stock shall also be subject to any restrictions on transfer or other restrictions or conditions contained in the Award Agreement relating thereto, or as otherwise determined by the Committee.
     1.11. Employee and Stockholder Status. The Plan does not constitute a contract of employment or services, and selection as a Participant will not give any employee, non-employee director or consultant the right to be retained in the employ of, nor to continue to provide services as a director or consultant to, the Company or any Subsidiary. No Award of Stock Options under the Plan shall confer upon the holder thereof any right as a stockholder of the Company until the issuance of shares of Stock to the holder thereof upon the exercise of such Stock Option. If the transfer of shares is restricted pursuant to Section 1.10, certificates representing such shares may bear a legend referring to such restrictions.
     1.12. Change in Stock and Adjustments. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, spinoff, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, extraordinary dividend, exchange of shares or other similar change, the aggregate number (including the Plan Limit and the Individual Limit) and class of shares of Company capital stock with respect to which Awards may be made under the Plan, and the terms (including the exercise price) and the number and class of shares subject to any outstanding Awards shall be equitably adjusted by the Committee; provided, however, in any case, that no adjustment shall be made that would cause the Plan to violate Section 422 of the Code with respect to Incentive Stock Options or that would adversely affect the status of any Award that is “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. In addition, the Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards, including any Performance Goals, in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, events described herein) affecting the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles; provided, however, that no such adjustment shall be made to any outstanding Awards to the extent that such adjustment would constitute a “repricing” of any Stock Option under the rules of any applicable national securities exchange or would adversely affect the status of the Award as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.
     1.13. Change of Control. Upon a Change of Control, the Committee may, at its discretion, (i) fully vest any or all Awards made under the Plan, (ii) cancel any outstanding Stock Option in exchange for a cash payment of an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the then Fair Market Value of the Stock Option less the exercise price of the Stock Option; provided, that, if the exercise price of any such Stock Option equals or exceeds the then Fair Market Value of such Stock Option as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, such Stock Option will be cancelled with no further payment due the Participant, (iii) after having given the Participant a reasonable chance to exercise any outstanding Stock Options, terminate any or all

-9-


 

of the Participant’s unexercised Stock Options, (iv) where the Company is not the surviving corporation, cause the surviving corporation to assume all outstanding Awards or replace all outstanding Awards with comparable awards, or (v) take such other action as the Committee shall determine to be appropriate.
     1.14. Agreement With Company. At the time any Award under the Plan is granted, the Committee shall require a Participant to enter into an agreement with the Company in a form specified by the Committee, agreeing to the terms and conditions of the Plan and to such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, prescribe (an “Award Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the terms of the Plan and an Award Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall govern.
     1.15. Assignment. Except as contemplated by Section 1.10, no right or benefit under the Plan shall be subject to anticipation, alienation, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any attempt to anticipate, alienate, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, or charge the same shall be void. No right or benefit hereunder shall in any manner be liable for or subject to any debts, contracts, liabilities, or torts of the Person entitled to such benefits.
     1.16. Gender, Tense and Headings. Whenever the context requires such, words of the masculine gender used herein shall include the feminine and neuter, and words used in the singular shall include the plural. Headings as used herein are inserted solely for convenience and reference and constitute no part of the construction of the Plan.
     1.17. Tax Consequences. Neither the Company nor the Committee makes any commitment or guarantee that any federal, state or local tax treatment will apply or be available to any Participant.
     1.18. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be fully severable, but shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never been included herein.
     1.19. Amendment and Termination of Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan and outstanding Awards (subject to the terms of this Section 1.19) without the consent of the Company’s stockholders or Participants, except that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders if (i) such action would increase the number of shares of Stock subject to the Plan, (ii) such action would result in the “repricing” of any Stock Option, or (iii) such stockholder approval is required by any federal or state law or regulation or the rules of any stock exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock may then be listed or quoted; provided, however, that without the consent of an affected Participant, no amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination of the Plan may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any Award theretofore granted and any Award Agreement relating thereto. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate, any Award theretofore granted and any Award

-10-


 

Agreement relating thereto; provided, however, that without the consent of an affected Participant, no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination of any Award may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Award. The foregoing notwithstanding, any Performance Goal or other performance condition specified in connection with an Award shall not be deemed a fixed contractual term, but shall remain subject to adjustment by the Committee, in its discretion, at any time in view of the Committee’s assessment of the Company’s strategy, performance of comparable companies, and other circumstances, except to the extent that any such adjustment to a performance condition would adversely affect the status of an Award as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.
     1.20. Foreign Nationals. Without amending the Plan, Awards may be granted to employees, non-employee directors and consultants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States or both, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to further the purpose of the Plan.
     1.21. Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by the applicable Code provisions to the maximum extent possible. Otherwise, the laws of the State of Delaware shall govern the operation of, and the rights of Participants under, the Plan, and Stock Options and Awards of Restricted Stock granted thereunder.
     1.22. Indemnification of Board and Committee. Without limiting any other rights of indemnification which they may have from the Company and any Subsidiary, the members of the Board and the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under, or in connection with, the Plan, or any Stock Option or Award of Restricted Stock granted thereunder, and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of willful misconduct or recklessness on their part. Upon the making or institution of any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding, the Board or Committee member shall notify the Company in writing, giving the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before such Board or Committee member undertakes to handle it on his or her own behalf. The provisions of this Section 1.22 shall not give members of the Board or the Committee greater rights than they would have under the Company’s by-laws or the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     2.3. Exercise Price. The purchase price per share of Stock under each Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant; provided, however, that in no event shall such price be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per share of Stock as of the Option Date (110% of such Fair Market Value if the holder of the Incentive Stock Option owns stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary).
     2.4. Exercise.
          (a) Each Incentive Stock Option shall become and be exercisable at such time or times and during such period or periods, in full or in such installments as may be determined by the Committee at the Option Date. To the extent provided by the Committee, the full purchase price of each share of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Incentive Stock Option shall be paid (i) in cash, (ii) by delivery of shares of Stock (valued at Fair Market Value as of the day of exercise) that have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the aggregate exercise price and that have been outstanding for at least six months (unless the Committee approves a shorter period) or (iii) by any other means (including any combination of the foregoing) acceptable to the Committee. At the time of such exercise or as soon as practicable thereafter, if the Company’s Stock is customarily certificated, a certificate representing the shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Person entitled thereto. If payment of the purchase price of shares of Stock is paid in cash, payments shall be made only with cash, cashier’s check, certified check, official bank check or postal money order payable to the order of the Company in the amount (in United States dollars) of the purchase price. If payment of such purchase price is made by shares of Stock, the Participant shall deliver to the Company (i) certificates registered in the name of such Participant, or other satisfactory evidence of the Participant’s ownership if the Company’s Stock is not then certificated, representing a number of shares of Stock legally and beneficially owned by such Participant, free of liens, claims and encumbrances of every kind and having a Fair Market Value as of the date of delivery of such notice that is not greater than the purchase price of the shares of Stock with respect to which such Incentive Stock Options are to be exercised, such certificates (or other evidence of ownership, if applicable) to be accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank by the record holder of the shares of Stock represented by such certificates, and (ii) if the purchase price of the shares of Stock with respect to which such Incentive Stock Options are to be exercised exceeds such Fair Market Value, cash or a cashier’s

check, certified check, official bank check or postal money order payable to the order of the Company in the amount (in United States dollars) of such excess.
          (b) Incentive Stock Options shall be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Company setting forth the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Incentive Stock Option is to be exercised and the address to which the certificates, if applicable, representing shares of the Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option shall be mailed.
     In order to be effective, such written notice shall be accompanied by a form of payment as provided in Section 2.4(a). Such notice shall be delivered in person to the Secretary of the Company, or shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Company, in which case, delivery shall be deemed made on the date such notice is deposited in the mail.
     2.5. Disqualifying Dispositions. If shares of Stock acquired upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of in a “disqualifying disposition” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code prior to the expiration of either two years after the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option or one year after the transfer of shares of Stock to the Participant pursuant to the exercise of such Incentive Stock Option, or in any other “disqualifying disposition” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, such Participant shall notify the Company in writing as soon as practicable thereafter of the date and terms of such disposition and, if the Company (or any Subsidiary) thereupon has a tax-withholding obligation, shall pay to the Company (or such Subsidiary) an amount equal to any withholding tax the Company (or such Subsidiary) is required to pay as a result of the disqualifying disposition.
     2.6. Incentive Stock Option Expiration Date. The expiration date with respect to an Incentive Stock Option or any portion thereof awarded to a Participant under the Plan (the “ISO Expiration Date”) means the earliest of:
          (a) the date that is ten (10) years after the date on which the Incentive Stock Option is awarded, or if the Participant owns stock possessing more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, the date that is five (5) years after the date on which the Incentive Stock Option is awarded;
          (b) the date established by the Committee at the time of the Award;
          (c) unless the Committee provides otherwise at the time of the Award, the date that is one year after the Participant’s employment with the Company and all corporate Subsidiaries is terminated by reason of the Participant becoming disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or the Participant’s death; or
          (d) unless the Committee provides otherwise at the time of the Award, the date that is ninety (90) days after the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and all corporate Subsidiaries for any reason other than by reason of the Participant

-13-


 

becoming disabled (within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) or the Participant’s death.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Committee provides otherwise at the time of grant (i) if the Participant is Terminated for Cause all Incentive Stock Options held by the Participant, whether vested or unvested, shall immediately terminate, and (ii) if the Participant’s employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries is terminated other than because the Participant is Terminated for Cause, then all Incentive Stock Options held by the Participant that are vested as of the date of such termination shall be exercisable by the Participant until the ISO Expiration Date and all unvested Incentive Stock Options held by such Participant shall terminate on the date of such termination. All rights to purchase shares of Stock pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option shall cease as of the applicable ISO Expiration Date or the date the Participant is Terminated for Cause, if earlier.

          (b) Non-Qualified Stock Options shall be exercised by the delivery of written notice to the Company setting forth the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Non-Qualified Stock Option is to be exercised and the address to which the certificates, if applicable, representing shares of the Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Non-Qualified Stock Option shall be mailed. In order to be effective, such written notice shall be accompanied by a form of payment as provided in Section 3.4(a). Such notice shall be delivered in person to the Secretary of the Company, or shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Secretary of the Company, in which case, delivery shall be deemed made on the date such notice is deposited in the mail.
