6. Specific Terms of Awards.

(a) General. Awards may be granted on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 6. In addition, the Committee may impose on any Award or the exercise thereof, at the date of grant or thereafter (subject to Section 10(e)), such additional 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 termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service and terms permitting a Participant to make elections relating to his or her Award. The Committee shall retain full power and discretion to accelerate, waive or modify, at any time, any term or condition of an Award that is not mandatory under the Plan. Except in cases in which the Committee is authorized to require other forms of consideration under the Plan, or to the extent other forms of consideration must be paid to satisfy the requirements of Delaware law, no consideration other than services may be required for the grant (as opposed to the exercise) of any Award.

(b) Options. The Committee is authorized to grant Options to any Eligible Person on the following terms and conditions:

(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share purchasable under an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the Option and shall not, in any event, be less than the par value of a Share on the date of grant of the Option. If an Employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules applicable under Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively) and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such Employee, the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Option (to the extent required by the Code at the time of grant) shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

(ii) Vesting Period, Performance Goals and Time and Method of Exercise. Options granted under the Plan shall vest and be exercisable at such time, subject to achievement of designated Performance Goals, if any, and/or in such installments during the period prior to the expiration of the Option’s term as determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement. The minimum vesting schedule for Options shall be six months after the date of grant. The Committee shall determine the methods by which the exercise price may be paid or deemed to be paid (including in the discretion of the Committee a cashless exercise procedure), the form of such payment, including, without limitation, cash, Shares (including without limitation the withholding of Shares otherwise deliverable pursuant to the Award), other Awards or awards granted under other plans of the Company or a Subsidiary, and the methods by or forms in which Shares will be delivered to Participants.

(iii) Incentive Stock Options. The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options (including any Stock Appreciation Right issued in tandem therewith) shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the

Plan be exercised, so as to disqualify either the Plan or any Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code, unless the Participant has first requested, or consents to, the change that will result in such disqualification. Thus, if and to the extent required to comply with Section 422 of the Code, Options granted as Incentive Stock Options shall be subject to the following special terms and conditions:

(1) the Option shall not be exercisable for more than ten years after the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted; provided, however, that if a Participant owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10% of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company (or any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively) and the Incentive Stock Option is granted to such Participant, the term of the Incentive Stock Option shall be (to the extent required by the Code at the time of the grant) for no more than five years after the date of grant; and

(2) the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under the Plan and all other option plans of the Company (and any parent corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company, as those terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively) that become exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year shall not (to the extent required by the Code at the time of the grant) exceed $100,000.

(iv) No Option Repricings. Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 10(c)), the exercise price of an Option may not be Repriced without stockholder approval.

(v) Expiration of Option Term: Automatic Exercise ofIn-The-Money Options. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee (in an Award Agreement or otherwise) or as otherwise directed in writing to the Company by a Participant holding an Option, each Option outstanding on the Automatic Exercise Date with an exercise price per share that is less than the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock as of such date shall automatically and without further action by the Participant or the Company be exercised on the Automatic Exercise Date. Payment of the exercise price of any such Option and related tax obligations shall be “net settled” to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, this Section 6(b)(v) shall not apply to an Option if the Participant incurs a Termination of Employment on or before the Automatic Exercise Date.

(c) Stock Appreciation Rights. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to any Eligible Person in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan or at any subsequent time during the term of such Option (a “Tandem Stock Appreciation Right”), or without regard to any Option (a “Freestanding Stock Appreciation Right”), in each case upon such terms and conditions as the Committee may establish in its sole discretion, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, including the following:

(i) Right to Payment. A Stock Appreciation Right shall confer on the Participant to whom it is granted a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise over (B) for Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights, the exercise price per share of the related Option and for Freestanding Stock Appreciation Rights, the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant.

(ii) Other Terms. The Committee shall determine at the date of grant or thereafter, the time or times at which and the circumstances under which a Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised in whole or in part (including based on achievement of Performance Goals and/or future service requirements), the time or times at which Stock Appreciation Rights shall cease to be or become exercisable following termination of Continuous Service or upon other conditions, the method of exercise, method of settlement, form of consideration payable in settlement, method by or forms in which Shares will be delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants, whether or not a Stock Appreciation Right shall be in tandem or in combination with any other Award, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right.

(iii) Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights. Any Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may be granted at the same time as the related Option is granted or, for Options that are not Incentive Stock Options, at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such Option. Any Tandem Stock Appreciation Right related to an Option may be exercised only when the related Option would be exercisable and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the related Option exceeds the exercise price at which Shares can be acquired pursuant to the Option. In addition, if a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right exists with respect to less than the full number of Shares covered by a related Option, then an exercise or termination of such Option shall not reduce the number of Shares to which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right applies until the number of Shares then exercisable under such Option equals the number of Shares to which the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right applies. Any Option related to a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised, and any Tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Option has been exercised.

(d) Restricted Stock Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Restricted Stock Awards to any Eligible Person on the following terms and conditions:

(i) Grant and Restrictions. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such restrictions on transferability, risk of forfeiture and other restrictions, if any, as the Committee may impose, or as otherwise provided in this Plan, covering a period of time specified by the Committee (the “Restriction Period”). The minimum Restriction Period is six months after the date of grant. The terms of any Restricted Stock Award granted under the Plan shall be set forth in a written Award Agreement which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with the Plan. The restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such times, under such circumstances (including based on achievement of Performance Goals and/or future service requirements), in such installments or otherwise, as the Committee may determine at the date of grant or thereafter. Except to the extent restricted under the terms of the Plan and any Award Agreement relating to a Restricted Stock Award, a Participant granted Restricted Stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote the Restricted Stock and the right to receive dividends thereon (subject to any mandatory reinvestment or other requirement imposed by the Committee). During the Restriction Period, subject to Section 10(b) below, the Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, hypothecated, margined or otherwise encumbered by the Participant.

(ii) Forfeiture. Upon termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service during the applicable Restriction Period, the Participant’s Restricted Stock that is at that time subject to a risk of forfeiture that has not lapsed or otherwise been satisfied shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company.

(iii) Certificates for Stock. Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee shall determine. If certificates representing Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, the Committee may require that such certificates bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, that the Company retain physical possession of the certificates, and that the Participant deliver a stock power to the Company, endorsed in blank, relating to the Restricted Stock.

(iv) Dividends. Dividends that are declared and paid on the outstanding shares of Common Stock during any period for which forfeiture restrictions apply to a Restricted Stock Award shall not be paid at the time dividends are paid to stockholders, but shall be accrued, without interest, and paid out when such forfeiture restrictions lapse; provided, that any accrued dividends are forfeited to the extent the underlying Shares under the Award are forfeited.

(e) Restricted Stock Unit Award. The terms and conditions of a grant of a RSU Award shall be reflected in an Award Agreement. RSUs shall be earned, and forfeiture restrictions shall lapse, at such time, in such installments, and/or subject to such Performance Goal(s) and with such Performance Period as determined by the Committee or, if applicable, a delegate of the Committee. No Shares shall be issued at the time a RSU Award is granted, and the Company will not be required to set aside a fund for the payment of any such RSU Award. A Participant shall have no voting or dividend rights with respect to any RSUs granted hereunder until the Shares, if any, underlying the RSU Award are earned and issued.

(i) Restrictions. A RSU Award shall be subject to (A) forfeiture until the expiration of the Restricted Period by the Committee, and/or satisfaction of any applicable Performance Goals as established under Section 6(g) during a designated Performance Period, to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement, and to the extent such RSUs are forfeited, all rights of the Participant to such RSUs shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company, and (B) such other terms and conditions as may be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. The minimum Restriction Period or Performance Period for RSU Awards shall be six months after the date of grant.

(ii) Settlement of Restricted Stock Units. Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period, and/or satisfaction of the applicable Performance Goals for the Performance Period, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, or his or her Beneficiary, without charge, one Share for each such outstanding RSU for which forfeiture restrictions have lapsed, or which has been earned; provided, however, that, if explicitly provided in the applicable Award Agreement, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay cash or part cash and part Shares in lieu of delivering only Shares for such RSUs. If a cash payment is made in lieu of delivering Shares, the amount of such payment shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares as of the date on which the Restriction Period lapsed, or, if applicable, the date on which the Committee or, if applicable, a delegate of the Committee, determines that the applicable Performance Goals have been met.

(iii) Dividend Equivalents. Unless set forth in an Award Agreement, no Dividend Equivalents will be paid on any RSU Award. Dividend Equivalents, if added in an Award Agreement, shall only be paid to the extent the RSU Award is earned and paid.

(f) Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee is authorized, subject to limitations under applicable law, to grant to any Eligible Person such other Awards that may be denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, Shares, as

deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. Other Stock-Based Awards may be granted to Participants either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan, and such Other Stock-Based Awards shall also be available as a form of payment in the settlement of other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards.

(g) Performance Awards. The Committee is authorized to grant Performance Awards to any Eligible Person payable in cash, Shares, other Awards or a combination, on terms and conditions established by the Committee, if and to the extent that the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine that an Award shall be subject to those provisions. The performance criteria to be achieved during any Performance Period and the length of the Performance Period shall be determined by the Committee upon the grant of each Performance Award; provided, however, the minimum Performance Period shall be one year. Except as provided in Section 9, Performance Awards will be distributed only after the end of the relevant Performance Period.

The Committee will establish, in writing, the Performance Goals and the Performance Period for each applicable Performance Award; provided, however, that where the determination of the Performance Goals and Performance Period for any Award for which the Committee has delegated authority under Section 3, the authority to establish Performance Goals and a Performance Period is also delegated. Such Performance Goals may vary by Participant and by Award. The Committee, in its discretion, may adjust or modify the calculation of Performance Goals to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants. The amount of the Performance Award earned shall be conclusively determined by the Committee or, if applicable, its delegate. Performance Awards may be paid in a lump sum or in installments following the close of the Performance Period.

7. Certain Provisions Applicable to Awards.

(a) Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Committee; provided that in no event shall the term of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right exceed a period of ten years (or in the case of an Incentive Stock Option such shorter term as may be required under Section 422 of the Code).

(b) Form and Timing of Payment Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, payments to be made by the Company or a Subsidiary upon the exercise of an Option or other Award or settlement of an Award may be made in such forms as the Committee shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Shares or other Awards.

(c) Exemptions from Section 16(b) Liability. It is the intent of the Company that the grant of any Awards to or other transaction by a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be exempt from Section 16 pursuant to an applicable exemption (except for transactions acknowledged in writing to benon-exempt by such Participant). Accordingly, if any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement does not comply with the requirements of Rule16b-3 then applicable to any such transaction, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to the applicable requirements of Rule16b-3 so that such Participant shall avoid liability under Section 16(b).

(d) Code Section 409A. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with applicable laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. Without limiting the foregoing, the Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code to the extent subject thereto, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Committee shall make a good

faith effort to interpret and administer the Plan in compliance therewith. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short-term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable laws require otherwise. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each installment payment provided under this Plan shall be treated as a separate payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent required to avoid accelerated taxation and tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, (a) amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to the Plan during the six (6) month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service shall instead be paid on the first payroll date after thesix-month anniversary of the Participant’s separation from service (or the Participant’s death, if earlier), and (b) amounts payable upon the termination of a Participant’s Continuous Service shall only be payable if such termination constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor the Committee shall have any obligation to take any action to prevent the assessment of any excise tax or penalty on any Participant under Section 409A of the Code and neither the Company nor the Committee will have any liability to any Participant for such tax or penalty.

(e) Clawbacks. The Company shall have the right to recoup or “claw back” any payment made with respect to an Award under the Plan to the extent necessary to comply with applicable federal securities laws or the provisions of any applicable clawback policy of the Company.

8. Impact of Termination of Employment Events. The following Termination of Employment events shall have the following consequences for outstanding Awards; provided, however, the limitation set forth in Section 4(b) shall apply.

(a) General Rule. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8, upon a Termination of Employment, unless an employment or other agreement with the Participant provides for different consequences:

(i) Options. All outstanding vested and exercisable Options granted to such Participant shall remain exercisable for 90 days after Termination of Employment; provided, that the Option will expire at the expiration of the stated term if earlier.

(ii) Other Awards. All outstanding and unvested Awards other than Options shall be forfeited.

(b) For Cause. In the event of a Termination of Employment for Cause, all outstanding Awards, whether vested or not, shall be forfeited.

(i) Options. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment as a result of the Participant’s Disability, all outstanding vested and exercisable Options granted to such Participant shall remain exercisable for one year after Termination of Employment as a result of a Disability; provided, that the Option will expire at the expiration of the stated term if earlier.

(ii) Other Awards. If a Participant’s Termination of Employment is due to the Participant’s Disability:

(1) all outstanding and unvested Awards not described in subsection (c)(ii)(2) that would have vested prior to the first anniversary of the date of Termination of Employment will accelerate, all forfeiture restrictions will lapse, and the Shares will be issued within thirty (30) days after the date of Termination of Employment; and

(2) all outstanding Awards that are conditioned upon achievement of one or more Performance Goals and granted to such Participant with a Performance Period ending prior to the first anniversary of the Date of Termination shall continue to be subject to the applicable Performance Goals and paid out, if earned and vested, after the end of the Performance Period when it is determined whether the Award is earned, but in no event later than March 15 in the year following the end of the Performance Period.

(d) Death of Participant.

(i) Options. Upon a Participant’s Termination of Employment as a result of the Participant’s death, all outstanding vested and exercisable Options granted to such Participant shall remain exercisable for one year after Termination of Employment as a result of a death; provided, that the Option will expire at the expiration of the stated term if earlier. If an Option is held by the Participant when he or she dies, the Option may be exercised by the Beneficiary designated by the Participant, the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Participant’s will or the laws of descent or distribution.

(ii) Other Awards.

(1) all outstanding and unvested Awards not described in subsection (d)(ii)(2) that would have vested prior to the first anniversary of the date of Termination of Employment will accelerate, all forfeiture restrictions will lapse, and the Shares will be issued within thirty (30) days after the date of Termination of Employment; and

9. Dissolution or Liquidation; Change in Control.

(a) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, other than a dissolution or liquidation that is defined as a Change of Control, the Committee shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Committee in its discretion may provide for an Option to be fully vested and exercisable until ten days prior to such transaction. In addition, the Committee may provide that any restrictions on any Award shall lapse prior to the transaction, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

(b) Change in Control. The provisions of this Section 9(b) shall apply in the case of a Change in Control. If more specific terms are set forth in any separate plan document or agreement between the Company and any Participant, such separate plan or agreement shall govern the treatment of Awards.

(i) Awards Not Assumed or Substituted by the Surviving Entity. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, and except with respect to any Awards assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with the Change in Control in a manner approved by the Committee or the Board, any outstanding Awards shall be dealt with in accordance with any of the following approaches, as determined by the agreement effectuating the transaction or, if and to the extent not so determined, as determined by the Committee: (A) the continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving entity, (B) the assumption or substitution for the outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent or subsidiary, (C) full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards, or (D) settlement of the value of the outstanding Awards in cash or cash equivalents or other property followed by cancellation of such Awards (which value, in the case of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, shall be measured by the amount, if any, by which the Fair Market Value of a Share exceeds the exercise or grant price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right as of the effective date of the transaction). The Committee shall give written notice of any proposed transaction referred to in this Section 9(b)(i) a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date for such transaction (which notice may be given either before or after the approval of such transaction), in order that Participants may have a reasonable period of time prior to the closing date of such transaction within which to exercise any Awards that are then exercisable (including any Awards that may become exercisable upon the closing date of such transaction). A Participant may condition his or her exercise of any Awards upon the consummation of the transaction. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Code Section 422(d), the excess Options shall be deemed to benon-statutory Options.

(ii) Awards Assumed or Substituted by Surviving Entity. With respect to Awards assumed by the surviving entity or otherwise equitably converted or substituted in connection with a Change in Control, if within two years after the effective date of the Change in Control, a Participant’s employment is terminated without Cause or the Participant terminates his or her employment for Good Reason in connection with a Change in Control, if applicable, then (A) all of that Participant’s outstanding Awards shall become fully vested and exercisable, (B) all time-based vesting restrictions on the Participant’s outstanding Awards shall lapse, and (C) the payout opportunities attainable under all of such Participant’s outstanding Performance Awards shall be deemed to have been earned as of the date of such employment termination at the target level, and (subject to Section 9(b)(iv) and Section 10(a)) there shall be a pro rata payout to the Participant or his or her Beneficiary within 30 days following the date of the employment termination (unless a later date is required by Section 10(a) hereof) based upon the length of time within the Performance Period that has elapsed prior to the date of the employment termination; provided, however, if a severance plan or agreement or employment agreement in place at the time of the Change in Control provides for additional acceleration, the terms of such severance plan or agreement or employment agreement shall control. To the extent that this provision causes Incentive Stock Options to exceed the dollar limitation set forth in Code Section 422(d), the excess Options shall be deemed to benon-statutory Options.

(iii) Equitable Adjustments. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may include such further provisions and limitations in any Award Agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan.

(iv) Code Section 409A. No action shall be taken under this Section 9(b) which shall cause an Award to fail to be exempt from or comply with Code Section 409A.

(v) Consent. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, the provisions of this Section 9(b) may not be terminated, amended, or modified upon or after a Change of Control in a manner that would adversely affect a Participant’s rights with respect to an outstanding Award without the prior written consent of the Participant.

(i) Any Person becomes the Beneficial Owner of 50% or more of either (A) the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that, for purposes of this definition, the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (i) any acquisition directly from the Company, (ii) any acquisition by the Company, (iii) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or (iv) any acquisition pursuant to a transaction that complies with (iii)(A), (iii)(B) and (iii)(C) of this definition;

(ii) Individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute the Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs in connection with or as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board of Directors;

(iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (each, a “Business Combination”), in each case unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the individuals and entities that were the beneficial owners of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the then-outstanding shares of common stock (or, for anon-corporate entity, equivalent securities) and the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or, for anon-corporate entity, equivalent governing body), as the case may be, of the entity resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, an entity that, as a result of such transaction, owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and the Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of, respectively, the then-outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then-outstanding voting

securities of such corporation, except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors (or, for anon-corporate entity, equivalent governing body) of the entity resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement or of the action of the Board of Directors providing for such Business Combination; or

(iv) Approval by the stockholders of the Company of a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

10. General Provisions.

(a) Compliance With Legal and Other Requirements. The Company may, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Committee, postpone the issuance or delivery of Shares or payment of other benefits under any Award until completion of such registration or qualification of such Shares or other required action under any federal or state law, rule or regulation, listing or other required action with respect to any stock exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Shares or other Company securities are listed or quoted, or compliance with any other obligation of the Company, as the Committee, may consider appropriate, and may require any Participant to make such representations, furnish such information and comply with or be subject to such other conditions as it may consider appropriate in connection with the issuance or delivery of Shares or payment of other benefits in compliance with applicable laws, rules, and regulations, listing requirements, or other obligations.

(b) Limits on Transferability; Beneficiaries. No Award or other right or interest granted under the Plan shall be pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or subject to any lien, obligation or liability of such Participant to any party, or assigned or transferred by such Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or to a Beneficiary upon the death of a Participant, and such Awards or rights that may be exercisable shall be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative, except that Awards and other rights (other than Incentive Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights in tandem therewith) may be transferred to one or more Beneficiaries or other transferees during the lifetime of the Participant, and may be exercised by such transferees in accordance with the terms of such Award, but only if and to the extent such transfers are permitted by the Committee pursuant to the express terms of an Award Agreement (subject to any terms and conditions which the Committee may impose thereon). A Beneficiary, transferee, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to such Participant, except as otherwise determined by the Committee, and to any additional terms and conditions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee.

(i) Adjustments to Awards. In the event that any extraordinary dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, or other property), recapitalization, forward or reverse split, reorganization, merger, consolidation,spin-off, combination, repurchase, share exchange, liquidation, dissolution or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares and/or such other securities of the Company or any other issuer such that a substitution, exchange, or adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, substitute, exchange or adjust any or all of (A) the number and kind of Shares which may be delivered in connection with Awards granted thereafter, (B) the number and kind of Shares by whichper-Director Award limitations are measured under Section 5 hereof, (C) the number and kind of Shares subject to or deliverable in respect of outstanding Awards, (D) the exercise price, grant price or purchase price relating to any Award and/or make provision for payment of cash or other property in respect of any outstanding Award, and (E) any other aspect of any Award that the Committee determines to be appropriate.

(ii) Other Adjustments. The Committee (and the Board if and only to the extent such authority is not required to be exercised by the Committee to comply with relevant provisions of the Code) is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards (including Performance Awards, or Performance Goals relating thereto) in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and assets) affecting the Company, any Subsidiary or any business unit, or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, accounting principles, tax rates and regulations or business conditions or in view of the Committee’s assessment of the business strategy of the Company, any Subsidiary or business unit thereof, performance of comparable organizations, economic and business conditions, personal performance of a Participant, and any other circumstances deemed relevant.

(d) Taxes. The Company and any Subsidiary are authorized to withhold from any Award granted, any payment relating to an Award under the Plan, including from a distribution of Shares, or any payroll or other payment to a Participant, amounts of withholding and other taxes due or potentially payable in connection with any transaction involving an Award, and to take such other action as the Committee may deem advisable to enable the Company or any Subsidiary and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of withholding taxes and other tax obligations relating to any Award. This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Shares and to make cash payments in respect thereof in satisfaction of a Participant’s tax obligations, either on a mandatory or elective basis in the discretion of the Committee, subject to compliance with applicable law.

(e) Amendment and Termination of the Plan or Awards. The Board or the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Plan, or the Committee’s authority to grant Awards under the Plan, or any Award Agreement, without the consent of stockholders or Participants, except that any such amendment shall be subject to approval of the stockholders of the Company in the manner and to the extent required by applicable law (including applicable stock exchange requirements). In addition, without limiting the foregoing, unless approved by the stockholders of the Company, no such amendment shall be made that would:

(i) materially increase the maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under the Plan, other than an increase pursuant to Section 10(c);

(ii) reduce the minimum exercise price for Options granted under the Plan;

(iii) Reprice any outstanding Awards, other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 10(c)); or

(iv) change the class of persons eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Board or Committee action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any previously granted and outstanding Award. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Participant under an outstanding Award, unless agreed to in a writing signed by the Participant and the Company. The Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any Award theretofore granted and any Award Agreement relating thereto, except as otherwise provided in the Plan; provided that, without the consent of an affected Participant, no such Committee or the Board action may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under such Award.

(f) Limitation on Rights Conferred Under Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder or under any Award shall be construed as (i) giving any Eligible Person or Participant the right to continue as an Eligible Person or Participant or in the employ or service of the Company or a Subsidiary; (ii) interfering in any way with the right of the Company or a Subsidiary to terminate any Eligible Person’s or Participant’s Continuous Service at any time, (iii) giving an Eligible Person or Participant any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan or to be treated uniformly with other Participants and Employees, or (iv) conferring on a Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company including, without limitation, any right to receive dividends or distributions, any right to vote or act by written consent or any right to attend meetings of stockholders unless and until such time as the Participant is duly issued Shares on the stock books of the Company in accordance with the terms of an Award. Neither the Company nor any of the Company’s officers, directors, representatives or agents are granting any rights under the Plan to the Participant whatsoever, oral or written, express or implied, other than those rights expressly set forth in this Plan or the Award Agreement.

(g) Unfunded Status of Awards; Creation of Trusts. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant or obligation to deliver Shares pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company; provided that the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts and deposit therein cash or Shares, or make other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations under the Plan. Such trusts or other arrangements shall be consistent with the “unfunded” status of the Plan unless the Committee otherwise determines with the consent of each affected Participant. The trustee of such trusts may be authorized to dispose of trust assets and reinvest the proceeds in alternative investments, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify and in accordance with applicable law.

(h) Non-exclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its submission to the stockholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or a committee thereof to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable.

(i) Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. The Committee shall determine whether cash, other Awards or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.

(j) Governing Law. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, any rules and regulations under the Plan, and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws, and applicable federal law.

(k) Non-U.S. Laws. The Committee shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures, and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries may operate to assure the viability of the benefits from Awards granted to Participants performing services in such countries and to meet the objectives of the Plan.

(l) Plan Effective Date and Shareholder Approval; Termination of Plan. The Plan became effective on the Effective Date. The Plan shall terminate at the earliest of (a) such time as no Shares remain available for issuance under the Plan, (b) termination of this Plan by the Board or the Committee, or (c) the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. Awards outstanding upon expiration of the Plan shall remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated, or have expired.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, options granted to any Participant who is a consultant, an “Administrateur,” or a member of the “Conseil de Surveillance,” as these terms are defined in French Corporate law, and who does not have a work contract with the Company or its Related Companies will be deemed to have not been granted an option pursuant to this Addendum.

2)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of options offered through the Plan cannot exceed one third of the capital of the Company. This limit is reduced to 10% of the company capital if the options are granted over treasury shares.

3)	Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, no option can be granted to a French Participant who holds directly or indirectly more than ten percent (10%) of the Company’s share capital.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, any option with an Exercise Price on the Grant Date of the option that is less than 80% of the average of the market value of the underlying share during the twenty (20) trading days (using opening quotation) preceding the Grant Date shall be deemed to have not been granted under this Addendum. In addition, with respect to options to purchase existing shares, any option with an Exercise Price that is less than 80% of the average price paid by the Company to buy back the Shares it holds as at Grant Date shall be deemed to have not been granted under this Addendum.

As a consequence, all the options held by such French Participant which have not yet been exercised by his/her heirs upon the expiration of the aforementioned six (6)-month period, shall be definitively and automatically forfeited.

After termination of the Required Holding Period, the Trustee may release such Award and any such Shares, provided that (i) the Trustee has received an acknowledgment from the ITA that the Eligible 102 Participant has paid any applicable tax due pursuant to the ITO; or (ii) the Trustee and/or the Company withholds any applicable tax due pursuant to the ITO. The Trustee shall not release any 102 Award or Shares issued thereunder and held by it prior to the full payment of the Eligible 102 Participant’s tax liabilities.

4.3 Each 102 Trustee Grant (whether a 102 Capital Gains Track Grant or a 102 Earned Income Track Grant, as applicable) shall be subject to the relevant terms of Section 102 and the ITO, which shall be deemed an integral part of the 102 Trustee Grant and shall prevail over any term contained in the Plan, thisSub-Plan or any Award Agreement that is not consistent therewith. Any provision of the ITO and any approvals by the ITA not expressly specified in thisSub-Plan or any document evidencing an Award that are necessary to receive or maintain any tax benefit pursuant to Section 102 shall be binding on the Eligible 102 Participant. The Trustee and the Eligible 102 Participant granted a 102 Trustee Grant shall comply with the ITO and the terms and conditions of the Trust Agreement entered into between the Company and the Trustee. For the avoidance of doubt, it is reiterated that compliance with the ITO specifically includes compliance with the ITO Rules. Further, the Eligible 102 Participant agrees to execute any and all documents which the Board or the Trustee may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to comply with the provision of any applicable law, and, particularly, Section 102.

4.4 During the Required Holding Period, the Trustee shall not be required to release an Award, Shares acquired pursuant to such Award, or other shares received subsequently following any realization of rights derived from such Award or Shares (including share dividends) to the Eligible 102 Participant or sell such Award, Shares, or other shares to a third party, unless permitted to do so by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee may, pursuant to a written request and subject to applicable law, release and transfer such Shares to a designated third party, provided that both of the following conditions have been fulfilled prior to such transfer: (i) all taxes required to be paid upon the release and transfer of the Share have been withheld for transfer to the ITA; and (ii) the Trustee has received written confirmation from the Board that all requirements for such release and transfer have been fulfilled according to the terms of the Company’s corporate documents, the Plan, any applicable agreement and any applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, such sale or release during the Required Holding Period will result in different tax ramifications to the Eligible 102 Participant under Section 102 of the ITO and the ITO Rules and/or any other regulations or orders or procedures promulgated thereunder, which shall apply to and shall be borne solely by such Eligible 102 Participant.

4.5 In the event a share dividend is declared and/or additional rights are granted with respect to Shares which were issued upon an exercise of a 102 Trustee Grant, such dividend and/or rights shall also be subject to the provisions of this Section 4, and the Required Holding Period for such share dividend and/or rights shall be measured from the commencement of the Required Holding Period for the 102 Trustee Grant with respect to which the dividend was declared and/or rights granted. In the event of a cash dividend

on the 102 Trustee Grant or such Shares, the Trustee shall transfer the dividend proceeds to the Eligible 102 Participant after deduction of taxes and mandatory payments in compliance with applicable withholding requirements.

4.6 If an Award which is granted as a 102 Trustee Grant is exercised or vests during the Required Holding Period, the Shares issued upon such exercise or vesting shall be issued in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of the Eligible 102 Participant. If such Shares are issued after the Required Holding Period has lapsed, the Shares issued upon such exercise or vesting shall, at the election of the Eligible 102 Participant, either (i) be issued in the name of the Trustee or (ii) be transferred to the Eligible 102 Participant directly, provided that the Eligible 102 Participant first complies with all applicable provisions of the Plan and pays all taxes which apply on issuance of the Shares or to such transfer of Shares.

4.7 To avoid any doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Award qualifying as a 102 Trustee Grant shall be substituted for payment in cash or any other form of consideration, including other Awards or Shares, in the absence of an express approval of the ITA in advance for such substitution.

Assignability.

As long as Awards or Shares are held by the Trustee on behalf of an Eligible 102 Participant, no rights of the Eligible 102 Participant over the Awards or Shares may be transferred, assigned, pledged or mortgaged, other than by will or laws of descent and distribution.

Tax Consequences.

6.1 Any tax consequences arising from the grant or exercise of any Award, from the payment for Shares covered thereby, or from any other event or act (of the Company, the Company’s its Affiliates, the Trustee, and/or the Participant), hereunder, shall be borne solely by the Participant. The Company, its Affiliates, and/or the Trustee shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the applicable law (including applicable rules and regulations), including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, the Participant shall agree to indemnify the Company, its Affiliates, and/or the Trustee and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Participant. The Company, or any of its Affiliates and the Trustee may make such provisions and take such steps as it may deem necessary or appropriate for the withholding of all taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to Awards granted under theSub-Plan and the exercise or vesting or sale thereof, including, but not limited, to (i) deducting the amount so required to be withheld from any other amount then or thereafter payable to a Participant, (ii) requiring a Participant to pay to the Company or any of its Affiliates the amount so required to be withheld as a condition of the issuance, delivery, distribution or release of Shares, and/or (iii) by causing the exercise of an Award and/or the sale of Shares held by or on behalf of a Participant to cover such liability, up to the amount required to satisfy minimum statuary withholding requirements. In addition, the Participant will be required to pay any amount which exceeds the tax to be withheld and remitted to the tax authorities, pursuant to applicable tax laws, regulations and rules.

6.2 With respect toNon-Trustee Grants, if an Eligible 102 Participant ceases to be a Company’s Affiliate employee or director, the Eligible 102 Participant shall extend to the Company and/or its Affiliate security or a guarantee for the payment of tax due at the time of sale of Share to the satisfaction of the Board, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the ITO and the ITO Rules.
