SECTION 4. Shares Available for Awards. 	 (a) Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b) and 4(c), the number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be 12,000,000. If, after the effective date of the Plan, any Shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan or to which such an Award relates, are forfeited, or if such an Award is settled for cash or otherwise terminates or is cancelled without the delivery of Shares, then the Shares covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, or the number of Shares otherwise counted against the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted, to the extent of any such settlement, forfeiture, termination or cancellation, shall, in the calendar year in which such settlement, forfeiture, termination or cancellation occurs, again become Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted unless any dividends have been paid thereon prior to such settlement, forfeiture, termination or cancellation. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(b), no Employee of Micro may receive Awards under the Plan in any calendar year that relate to more than 3,600,000 Shares. 	 (b) Adjustments. In the event that the Committee determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of Micro, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of Micro, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number of Shares of Micro (or number and kind of other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may thereafter be granted, (ii) the number of Shares or other securities of Micro (or number and kind of other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award, or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award; provided, in each case, that except to the extent deemed desirable by the Committee (A) with respect to Awards of Incentive Stock Options no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would cause the Plan to violate Section 422(b)(1) of the Code, as from time to time amended and (B) with respect to any Award no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would be inconsistent with the Plan's meeting the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, as from time to time amended. 	 (c) Substitute Awards. Any Shares underlying Substitute Awards shall not, except in the case of Shares with respect to which Substitute Awards are granted to Employees who are officers or directors of Micro for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or any successor section thereto, be counted against the Shares available for Awards under the Plan. 	 (d) Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards. Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares. 	 SECTION 5. Eligibility. Any Employee, including any officer or employee-director of Micro or any Affiliate, and any member of the Board, shall be eligible to be designated a Participant. 	 SECTION 6. Stock Options. 	 (a) Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and contractual restrictions affecting Micro, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the Employees to whom Options shall be granted, the number of Shares to be covered by each Option, the option price therefor and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option. The Committee shall have the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options, or to grant Non-Qualified Stock Options, or to grant both types of options. In the case of Incentive Stock Options, the terms and conditions of such grants shall be subject to and comply with such rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code, as from time to time amended, and any regulations implementing such statute. 	 (b) Exercise Price. The Committee in its sole discretion shall establish the exercise price at the time each Option is granted. 	 (c) Exercise. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, specify in the applicable Award Agreement or thereafter. The Committee may impose such conditions with respect to the exercise of Options, including without limitation, any relating to the application of Federal or state securities laws, as it may deem necessary or advisable. 	 (d) Payment. No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment in full of the option price therefor is received by Micro. Such payment may be made: (i) in cash; (ii) in Shares already owned by the Participant (the value of such Shares shall be their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise); (iii) by a combination of cash and Shares; (iv) if approved by the Committee, in accordance with a cashless exercise program under which either (A) if so instructed by the Participant, Shares may be issued directly to the Participant's broker or dealer upon receipt of the purchase price in cash from the broker or dealer, or (B) Shares may be issued by Micro to a Participant's broker or dealer in consideration of such broker's or dealer's irrevocable commitment to pay to Micro that portion of the proceeds from the sale of such Shares that is equal to the exercise price of the Option(s) relating to such Shares, or (v) in such other manner as permitted by the Committee at the time of grant or thereafter. 	 SECTION 7. Stock Appreciation Rights. 	 (a) Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and contractual restrictions affecting Micro, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the Employees to whom Stock Appreciation Rights shall be granted, the number of Shares to be covered by each Stock Appreciation Right Award, the grant price thereof and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise thereof. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted in tandem with another Award, in addition to another Award, or freestanding and unrelated to another Award. Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with or in addition to an Award may be granted either at the same time as the Award or at a later time. Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be exercisable earlier than six months after grant and shall have a grant price as determined by the Committee on the date of grant. 	 (b) Exercise and Payment. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Participant to receive an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right over the grant price thereof, provided that the Committee may for administrative convenience determine that, with respect to any Stock Appreciation Right which is not related to an Incentive Stock Option and which can only be exercised for cash during limited periods of time in order to satisfy the conditions of Rule 16b-3, the exercise of such Stock Appreciation Right for cash during such limited period shall be deemed to occur for all purposes hereunder on the last day of such limited period and the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such stock appreciation right shall be deemed to be equal to the average of the high and low prices during such period on each day the Shares are traded on any stock exchange on which Shares are listed or on any over-the-counter market on which Shares are then traded. Any such determination by the Committee may be changed by the Committee from time to time and may govern the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights granted prior to such determination as well as Stock Appreciation Rights thereafter granted. The Committee shall determine whether a Stock Appreciation Right shall be settled in cash, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares. 	 (c) Other Terms and Conditions. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine, at or after the grant of a Stock Appreciation Right, the term, methods of exercise, methods and form of settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right. Any such determination by the Committee may be changed by the Committee from time to time and may govern the exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights granted or exercised prior to such determination as well as Stock Appreciation Rights granted or exercised thereafter. The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it shall deem appropriate. 	 SECTION 8. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. 	 (a) Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and contractual provisions affecting Micro, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the Employees to whom Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be granted, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock and/or the number of Restricted Stock Units to be granted to each Participant, the duration of the period during which, and the conditions under which, the Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units may be forfeited to Micro, and the other terms and conditions of such Awards. 	 (b) Payment. Each Restricted Stock Unit shall have a value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share. Restricted Stock Units shall be paid in cash, Shares, other securities or other property, as determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, upon the lapse of the restrictions applicable thereto, or otherwise in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement. 	 (c) Dividends and Distributions. Dividends and other distributions paid on or in respect of any Shares of Restricted Stock may be paid directly to the Participant, or may be reinvested in additional Shares of Restricted Stock or in additional Restricted Stock Units, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 	 SECTION 9. Performance Awards. 	 (a) Grant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and contractual provisions affecting Micro, the Committee shall have sole and complete authority to determine the Employees who shall receive a "Performance Award", which shall consist of a right which is (i) denominated in cash or Shares, (ii) valued, as determined by the Committee, in accordance with the achievement of such performance goals during such performance periods as the Committee shall establish, and (iii) payable at such time and in such form as the Committee shall determine. 	 (b) Terms and Conditions. Subject to the terms of the Plan, any contractual provisions affecting Micro and any applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine the performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any Performance Award and the amount and kind of any payment or transfer to be made pursuant to any Performance Award. 	 (c) Payment of Performance Awards. Performance Awards may be paid in a lump sum or in installments following the close of the performance period or, in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, on a deferred basis. 	 SECTION 10. Other Stock-Based Awards. The Committee shall have authority to grant to eligible Employees an "Other Stock-Based Award", which shall consist of any right which is (i) not an Award described in Sections 6 through 9 above and (ii) an Award of Shares or an Award denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan; provided that any such rights must comply with applicable law, and to the extent deemed desirable by the Committee, with Rule 16b-3. Subject to the terms of the Plan, any contractual provisions affecting Micro and any applicable Award Agreement, the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other Stock-Based Award. 	 SECTION 11. Termination or Suspension of Employment or Service. The following provisions shall apply in the event of the Participant's termination of employment or service unless the Committee shall have provided otherwise, either at the time of the grant of the Award or thereafter. 	 (a) Nonqualified Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. 	 (i) Termination of Employment or Service. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as required to comply with applicable law, if the Participant's employment or services with Micro or its Affiliates is terminated for any reason other than death, disability, or retirement, the Participant's right to exercise any Nonqualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate, and such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall expire, on the earlier of (A) the sixtieth day following such termination of employment or service or (B) the date such Option or Stock Appreciation Right would have expired had it not been for the termination of employment or services. The Participant shall have the right to exercise such Option or Stock Appreciation Right prior to such expiration to the extent it was exercisable at the date of such termination of employment or service and shall not have been exercised. 	 (ii) Death, Disability or Retirement. Except as the Committee may at any time otherwise provide or as required to comply with applicable law, if the Participant's employment or services with Micro or its Affiliates is terminated by reason of death, disability, or retirement, the Participant or his successor (if employment or service is terminated by death) shall have the right to exercise any Nonqualified Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right during the one-year period following such termination of employment or service, to the extent it was exercisable and outstanding at the date of such termination of employment or service, but in no event shall such option be exercisable later than the date the Option would have expired had it not been for the termination of such employment or services. The meaning of the terms "disability" and "retirement" shall be determined by the Committee. 	 (iii) Acceleration or Extension of Exercisability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, provide at any time (A) that an Option granted to a Participant may terminate at a date earlier than that set forth above, (B) that an Option granted to a Participant may terminate at a date later than that set forth above, provided such date shall not be beyond the date the Option would have expired had it not been for the termination of the Participant's employment or service and (C) that an Option or Stock Appreciation Right may become immediately exercisable when it finds that such acceleration would be in the best interests of Micro. 	 (b) Incentive Stock Options. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant or otherwise or as required to comply with applicable law, if the Participant's employment with Micro and its Affiliates is terminated for any reason, the Participant shall have the right to exercise any Incentive Stock Option and any related Stock Appreciation Right during the 90 days after such termination of employment to the extent it was exercisable at the date of such termination, but in no event later than the date the Option would have expired had it not been for the termination of such employment. If the Participant does not exercise such Option or related Stock Appreciation Right to the full extent permitted by the preceding sentence, the remaining exercisable portion of such Option automatically will be deemed a Nonqualified Stock Option, and such Option and the related Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable during the period set forth in Section 11(a) of the Plan, provided that in the event that employment is terminated because of death or the Participant dies in such 90-day period the Option will continue to be an Incentive Stock Option to the extent provided by Section 421 or Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision, and any regulations promulgated thereunder. 	 (c) Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee at the time of grant or as required to comply with applicable law, upon termination of employment or service for any reason during the restriction period, all shares of Restricted Stock still subject to restriction shall be forfeited by the Participant and reacquired by Micro at the price (if any) paid by the Participant for such Restricted Stock; provided that in the event of Participant's retirement, disability, or death, or in cases of special circumstances, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of Micro, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such participant's shares of Restricted Stock. Any time spent by a participant in the status of "leave without pay" shall extend the period otherwise required for purposes of determining the extent to which any Award or portion thereof has vested or otherwise become exercisable or nonforfeitable. 	 (d) Except as the Committee may otherwise determine, for purposes hereof any termination of a Participant's employment or service for any reason shall occur on the date Participant ceases to perform services for Micro or any Affiliate without regard to whether Participant continues thereafter to receive any compensatory payments therefrom or is paid salary thereby in lieu of notice of termination or, with respect to a member of the Board who is not also an employee of Micro or any Affiliate, the date such Participant is no longer a member of the Board. 	 SECTION 12. Merger. In the event of a merger of Micro with or into another corporation, each outstanding Award may be assumed or an equivalent award may be substituted by such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. If, in such event, an Award is not assumed or substituted, the Award shall terminate as of the date of the closing of the merger. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Award shall be considered assumed if, following the merger, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the merger, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if the holders are offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares). If such consideration received in the merger is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each Share subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger. 	 SECTION 13. Amendment and Termination. 	 (a) Amendments to the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination shall be made without shareholder approval if such approval is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement, including for these purposes any approval requirement which is a prerequisite for exemptive relief from Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, for which or with which the Board deems it necessary or desirable to qualify or comply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Committee may amend the Plan in such manner as may be necessary so as to have the Plan conform with local rules and regulations in any jurisdiction outside the United States. 	 (b) Amendments to Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and applicable law, the Committee may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively; provided that any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would adversely affect the rights of any Participant or any holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted shall not to that extent be effective without the consent of the affected Participant, holder or beneficiary. 	 (c) Cancellation. Any provision of this Plan or any Award Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Committee may cause any Award granted hereunder to be cancelled in consideration of a cash payment or alternative Award made to the holder of such cancelled Award equal in value to the Fair Market Value of such cancelled Award. 	 SECTION 14. General Provisions. 	 (a) Dividend Equivalents. In the sole and complete discretion of the Committee, an Award, whether made as an Other Stock-Based Award under Section 10 or as an Award granted pursuant to Sections 6 through 9 hereof, may provide the Participant with dividends or dividend equivalents, payable in cash, Shares, other securities or other property on a current or deferred basis. 	 (b) Nontransferability. No Award shall be assigned, alienated, pledged, attached, sold or otherwise transferred or encumbered by a Participant, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 	 (c) No Rights to Awards. No Employee, Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Employees, Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient. 	 (d) Share Certificates. All certificates for Shares or other securities of Micro or any Affiliate delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any stock exchange upon which such Shares or other securities are then listed and any applicable laws or rules or regulations, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions. 	 (e) Withholding. A Participant may be required to pay to Micro or any Affiliate, and Micro or any Affiliate shall have the right and is hereby authorized to withhold from any Award, from any payment due or transfer made under any Award or under the Plan or from any compensation or other amount owing to a Participant the amount (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property) of any applicable withholding taxes in respect of an Award, its exercise, or any payment or transfer under an Award or under the Plan and to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of Micro to satisfy all obligations for the payment of such taxes. The Committee may provide for additional cash payments to holders of Awards to defray or offset any tax arising from any such grant, lapse, vesting, or exercise of any Award. 	 (f) Award Agreements. Each Award hereunder shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement which shall be delivered to the Participant and shall specify the terms and conditions of the Award and any rules applicable thereto. 	 (g) No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent Micro or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements, which may, but need not, provide for the grant of options, restricted stock, Shares and other types of Awards provided for hereunder (subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 	 (h) No Right to Employment. The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained in the employ or service of Micro or any Affiliate. Further, Micro or an Affiliate may at any time dismiss a Participant from employment or service, free from any liability or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement. 	 (i) Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award, no Participant or holder or beneficiary of any Award shall have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares to be issued under the Plan until he or she has become the holder of such Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with each grant of Restricted Stock hereunder, the applicable Award shall specify if and to what extent the Participant shall not be entitled to the rights of a stockholder in respect of such Restricted Stock. 	 (j) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan and any Award Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware. 	 (k) Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to the applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 	 (l) Other Laws. The Committee may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares or other consideration under an Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation or entitle Micro to recover the same under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to Micro by a Participant in connection therewith shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Award granted hereunder shall be construed as an offer to sell securities of Micro, and no such offer shall be outstanding, unless and until the Committee in its sole discretion has determined that any such offer, if made, would be in compliance with all applicable requirements of the U.S. federal securities laws and any other laws to which such offer, if made, would be subject. 	 (m) No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between Micro or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from Micro or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of Micro or any Affiliate. 	 (n) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall determine whether cash or other securities or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated. 	 (o) Transfer Restrictions. Shares acquired hereunder may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of, except as provided in the Plan, the applicable Award Agreement or the applicable Purchase Agreement. 	 (p) Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof. 	 SECTION 15. Term of the Plan. 	 (a) Effective Date. The Plan shall be effective as of [IPO Effective Date], subject to approval by the shareholders of Micro. Awards may be granted hereunder prior to such shareholder approval subject in all cases, however, to such approval. 	 (b) Expiration Date. No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted under the Plan after December 31, 2005. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award granted hereunder may, and the authority of the Board or the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award shall, continue after the authority for grant of new Awards hereunder has been exhausted.
