any portion of any Award;
(vi) subject to the provisions of Section 5(a)(ii), to extend at any

circumstances distribution or the receipt of Stock and other amounts

(viii) at any time to adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines

provisions of the Plan and any Award (including related written
instruments); to make all determinations it deems advisable for the
administration of the Plan; to decide all disputes arising in connection
with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.
All decisions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be binding on
all persons, including the Company and Plan grantees.

discretion, may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company all or
part of the Administrator's authority and duties with respect to the granting of
Awards at Fair Market Value, to individuals who are not subject to the reporting
and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or "covered employees"
within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Any such delegation by the
Administrator shall include a limitation as to the amount of Awards that may be
granted during the period of the delegation and shall contain guidelines as to
the determination of the exercise price of any Stock Option or Stock
Appreciation Right, the conversion ratio or price of other Awards and the

<Page>
(d) INDEMNIFICATION. Neither the Board nor the Committee, nor any member of
either or any delegatee thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission,
interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection
with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Committee (and any delegatee
thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by
the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the
fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors' and officers'
liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time.
SECTION 3. STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION
(a) STOCK ISSUABLE. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and
available for issuance under the Plan shall be 3,000,000 shares, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 3(b); provided that not more than 2,000,000
shares shall be issued in the form of Unrestricted Stock Awards, Restricted
Stock Awards or Deferred Stock Awards (excluding for purposes of such 2,000,000
share limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any Awards granted in lieu of
cash compensation or fees). For purposes of these limitations, the shares of
Stock underlying any Awards (including any awards granted pursuant to the Watts
Industries, Inc. 1996 Stock Option Plan) which are forfeited, canceled, held
back upon exercise of an Option or settlement of an Award to cover the exercise
price or tax withholding, reacquired by the Company prior to vesting, satisfied
without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than by exercise)
shall be added back to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the
Plan. Subject to such overall limitations, shares of Stock may be issued up to
such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award; provided, however,
that Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with respect to no more than
300,000 shares of Stock may be granted to any one individual grantee during any
one calendar year period. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may
be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the
Company and held in its treasury.
(b) CHANGES IN STOCK. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result of
any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock
split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company's capital
stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are
exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the
Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of
the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares
of Stock or other securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or
consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company,
the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of securities of the Company or any successor entity (or a parent
or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or
proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for
issuance under the Plan, including the maximum number of shares that may be
issued in the form of Unrestricted Stock Awards, Restricted Stock Awards or
Deferred Stock Awards, (ii) the number of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation
Rights that can be granted to any one individual grantee and the maximum number
of shares that may be granted under a Performance-based Award, (iii) the number
and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards
under the Plan, (iv) the repurchase price per share subject to each outstanding
Restricted Stock Award, and (v) the price for each share subject to any then
outstanding Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights under the Plan,
4
<Page>
without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price
multiplied by the number of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights) as
to which such Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights remain exercisable.
The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive.
No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from
any such adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash
payment in lieu of fractional shares.
The Administrator may also adjust the number of shares subject to
outstanding Awards and the exercise price and the terms of outstanding Awards to
take into consideration material changes in accounting practices or principles,
extraordinary dividends, acquisitions or dispositions of stock or property or
any other event if it is determined by the Administrator that such adjustment is
appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan, provided that no
such adjustment shall be made in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, without
the consent of the grantee, if it would constitute a modification, extension or
renewal of the Option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code.
(c) MERGERS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS. In the case of and subject to the
consummation of (i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) the sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis
to an unrelated person or entity, (iii) a merger, reorganization or
consolidation in which the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or
exchanged for a different kind of securities of the successor entity and the
holders of the Company's outstanding voting power immediately prior to such
transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the
successor entity immediately upon completion of such transaction, or (iv) the
sale of all of the Stock of the Company to an unrelated person or entity (in
each case, a "Sale Event"), all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights that are
not exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Sale Event shall
become fully exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event and all
other Awards shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable as of the effective
time of the Sale Event, except as the Administrator may otherwise specify with
respect to particular Awards. Upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the
Plan and all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate, unless
provision is made in connection with the Sale Event in the sole discretion of
the parties thereto for the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore
granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new
Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate adjustment as
to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise
prices, as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration
hereunder). In the event of such termination, each grantee shall be permitted,
within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as
determined by the Administrator, to exercise all outstanding Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights held by such grantee, including those that will become
exercisable upon the consummation of the Sale Event; provided, however, that the
exercise of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights not exercisable prior to the
Sale Event shall be subject to the consummation of the Sale Event.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(c), in the event
of a Sale Event pursuant to which holders of the Stock of the Company will
receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in
the Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
make or provide for a cash payment to the grantees holding Options and Stock
Appreciation Rights, in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount
equal to the
5
<Page>
difference between (A) the value as determined by the Administrator
of the consideration payable per share of Stock pursuant to the Sale Event (the
"Sale Price") times the number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options
and Stock Appreciation Rights (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in
excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such
outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.
(d) SUBSTITUTE AWARDS. The Administrator may grant Awards under the Plan in
substitution for stock and stock based awards held by employees, directors or
other key persons of another corporation in connection with the merger or
consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a Subsidiary or
the acquisition by the Company or a Subsidiary of property or stock of the
employing corporation. The Administrator may direct that the substitute awards
be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator considers
appropriate in the circumstances. Any substitute Awards granted under the Plan
shall not count against the share limitation set forth in Section 3(a).
SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY
Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other
employees, Non-Employee Directors and key persons (including consultants and
prospective employees) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as are selected from
time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
SECTION 5. STOCK OPTIONS
Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the
Administrator may from time to time approve.
Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options
or Non-Qualified Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to
employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a "subsidiary corporation"
within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option
does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a
Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(a) STOCK OPTIONS. Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 5(a)
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such
additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as
the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the Administrator so determines,
Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee's
election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may
establish.
(i) EXERCISE PRICE. The exercise price per share for the Stock covered
by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be determined
by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 50
percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant for Non-Qualified
Stock Options and 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant
for Incentive Stock Options (other than options granted in lieu of cash
compensation). If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the
attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10 percent of
the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
parent or subsidiary corporation and an Incentive Stock Option is granted
to such employee, the option price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be
not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the grant date.
6
<Page>
(ii) OPTION TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the
Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years
after the date the Stock Option is granted. If an employee owns or is
deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the
Code) more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of
stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary corporation and an
Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the term of such Stock
Option shall be no more than five years from the date of grant.
(iii) EXERCISABILITY; RIGHTS OF A STOCKHOLDER. Stock Options shall
become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments,
as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. The
Administrator may at any time accelerate the exercisability of all or any
portion of any Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a
stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option
and not as to unexercised Stock Options.
(iv) METHOD OF EXERCISE. Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in
part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the
number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made
by one or more of the following methods to the extent provided in the
Option Award agreement:
(A) In cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument
acceptable to the Administrator;
(B) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of
shares of Stock that have been purchased by the optionee on the open
market or that have been beneficially owned by the optionee for at
least six months and are not then subject to restrictions under any
Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market
Value on the exercise date; or
(C) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed
exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable
to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the
optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the
optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter
into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the
Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment
procedure.
Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The delivery of
certificates representing the shares of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the
exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or
a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock
Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for such shares and the
fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award agreement or
applicable provisions of laws. In the event an optionee chooses to pay the
purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation
method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the
exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of shares attested to.
7
<Page>
(v) ANNUAL LIMIT ON INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS. To the extent required for
"incentive stock option" treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate
Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock
with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any
other plan of the Company or its parent and subsidiary corporations become
exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not
exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it
shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
(b) NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. No Stock Option shall be transferable
by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and
distribution and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee's
lifetime, only by the optionee, or by the optionee's legal representative or
guardian in the event of the optionee's incapacity. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award
agreement regarding a given Option that the optionee may transfer his
Non-Qualified Stock Options to members of his immediate family, to trusts for
the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family
members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing
with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and
the applicable Option.
SECTION 6. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
(a) NATURE OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. A Stock Appreciation Right is an
Award entitling the recipient to receive an amount in cash or shares of Stock or
a combination thereof having a value equal to the excess of the Fair Market
Value of the Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the Stock
Appreciation Right, which price shall not be less than 50 percent of the Fair
Market Value of the Stock on the date of grant (or more than the option exercise
price per share, if the Stock Appreciation Right was granted in tandem with a
Stock Option) multiplied by the number of shares of Stock with respect to which
the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Administrator
having the right to determine the form of payment.
(b) GRANT AND EXERCISE OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Stock Appreciation
Rights may be granted by the Administrator in tandem with, or independently of,
any Stock Option granted pursuant to Section 5 of the Plan. In the case of a
Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Non-Qualified Stock Option,
such Stock Appreciation Right may be granted either at or after the time of the
grant of such Option. In the case of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in
tandem with an Incentive Stock Option, such Stock Appreciation Right may be
granted only at the time of the grant of the Option.
A Stock Appreciation Right or applicable portion thereof granted in tandem
with a Stock Option shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the
termination or exercise of the related Option.
8
<Page>
(c) TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Stock Appreciation
Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined from
time to time by the Administrator, subject to the following:
(i) Stock Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with Options shall be
exercisable at such time or times and to the extent that the related Stock
Options shall be exercisable.
(ii) Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the applicable
portion of any related Option shall be surrendered.
(iii) All Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable during the
grantee's lifetime only by the grantee or the grantee's legal
representative.
SECTION 7. RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
(a) NATURE OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. A Restricted Stock Award is an Award
entitling the recipient to acquire, at such purchase price as determined by the
Administrator, shares of Stock subject to such restrictions and conditions as
the Administrator may determine at the time of grant ("Restricted Stock").
Conditions may be based on continuing employment (or other service relationship)
and/or achievement of pre-established performance goals and objectives. The
grant of a Restricted Stock Award is contingent on the grantee executing the
Restricted Stock Award agreement. The terms and conditions of each such
agreement shall be determined by the Administrator, and such terms and
conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees.
(b) RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Upon execution of a written instrument setting
forth the Restricted Stock Award and payment of any applicable purchase price, a
grantee shall have the rights of a stockholder with respect to the voting of the
Restricted Stock, subject to such conditions contained in the written instrument
evidencing the Restricted Stock Award. Unless the Administrator shall otherwise
determine, certificates evidencing the Restricted Stock shall remain in the
possession of the Company until such Restricted Stock is vested as provided in
Section 7(d) below, and the grantee shall be required, as a condition of the
grant, to deliver to the Company a stock power endorsed in blank.
(c) RESTRICTIONS. Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of except as specifically provided
herein or in the Restricted Stock Award agreement. If a grantee's employment (or
other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for
any reason, the Company shall have the right to repurchase Restricted Stock that
has not vested at the time of termination at its original purchase price, from
the grantee or the grantee's legal representative.
(d) VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK. The Administrator at the time of grant
shall specify the date or dates and/or the attainment of pre-established
performance goals, objectives and other conditions on which the
non-transferability of the Restricted Stock and the Company's right of
repurchase or forfeiture shall lapse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event that any such Restricted Stock shall have a performance based goal, the
restriction period with respect to such shares shall not be less than one year
and in the event that any such Restricted Stock shall have a
9
<Page>
time based restriction, the restriction period with respect to such shares
shall not be less than three years. Subsequent to such date or dates and/or
the attainment of such pre-established performance goals, objectives and
other conditions, the shares on which all restrictions have lapsed shall no
longer be Restricted Stock and shall be deemed "vested." Except as may
otherwise be provided by the Administrator either in the Award agreement or,
subject to Section 14 below, in writing after the Award agreement is issued,
a grantee's rights in any shares of Restricted Stock that have not vested
shall automatically terminate upon the grantee's termination of employment
(or other service relationship) with the Company and its Subsidiaries and
such shares shall be subject to the Company's right of repurchase as provided
in Section 7(c) above.
SECTION 8. DEFERRED STOCK AWARDS
(a) NATURE OF DEFERRED STOCK AWARDS. A Deferred Stock Award is an Award of
phantom stock units to a grantee, subject to restrictions and conditions as the
Administrator may determine at the time of grant. Conditions may be based on
continuing employment (or other service relationship) and/or achievement of
pre-established performance goals and objectives. The grant of a Deferred Stock
Award is contingent on the grantee executing the Deferred Stock Award agreement.
The terms and conditions of each such agreement shall be determined by the
Administrator, and such terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards
and grantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the vesting of
any such Deferred Stock Award is subject to attainment of a performance based
goal, the vesting period with respect to such award shall not be less than one
year and in the event that the vesting of any such Deferred Stock Award shall be
time-based, the vesting period with respect to such award shall not be less than
three years. At the end of the deferral period, the Deferred Stock Award, to the
extent vested, shall be paid to the grantee in the form of shares of Stock.
(b) ELECTION TO RECEIVE DEFERRED STOCK AWARDS IN LIEU OF COMPENSATION. The
Administrator may, in its sole discretion, permit a grantee to elect to receive
a portion of the cash compensation or Restricted Stock Award otherwise due to
such grantee in the form of a Deferred Stock Award. Any such election shall be
made in writing and shall be delivered to the Company no later than the date
specified by the Administrator and in accordance with rules and procedures
established by the Administrator. The Administrator shall have the sole right to
determine whether and under what circumstances to permit such elections and to
impose such limitations and other terms and conditions thereon as the
Administrator deems appropriate.
(c) RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. During the deferral period, a grantee shall
have no rights as a stockholder; provided, however, that the grantee may be
credited with Dividend Equivalent Rights with respect to the phantom stock units
underlying his Deferred Stock Award, subject to such terms and conditions as the
Administrator may determine.
(d) RESTRICTIONS. A Deferred Stock Award may not be sold, assigned,
transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of during the deferral
period.
(e) TERMINATION. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator
either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 14 below, in writing after
the Award agreement is issued, a grantee's right in all Deferred Stock Awards
that have not vested shall automatically terminate upon the grantee's
termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the
Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.
10
<Page>
SECTION 9. UNRESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
GRANT OR SALE OF UNRESTRICTED STOCK. The Administrator may, in its sole
discretion, grant (or sell at par value or such higher purchase price determined
by the Administrator) an Unrestricted Stock Award to any grantee pursuant to
which such grantee may receive shares of Stock free of any restrictions
("Unrestricted Stock") under the Plan. Unrestricted Stock Awards may be granted
in respect of past services or other valid consideration, or in lieu of cash
compensation due to such grantee.
SECTION 10. PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS TO COVERED EMPLOYEES
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any
Restricted Stock Award or Deferred Stock Award granted to a Covered Employee is
intended to qualify as "Performance-based Compensation" under Section 162(m) of
the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (a "Performance-based
Award"), such Award shall comply with the provisions set forth below:
(a) PERFORMANCE CRITERIA. The performance criteria used in performance
goals governing Performance-based Awards granted to Covered Employees may
include any or all of the following: (i) the Company's return on equity, assets,
capital or investment: (ii) pre-tax or after-tax profit levels of the Company or
any Subsidiary, a division, an operating unit or a business segment of the
Company, or any combination of the foregoing; (iii) cash flow, funds from
operations or similar measure; (iv) total shareholder return; (v) changes in the
market price of the Stock; (vi) sales or market share; or (vii) earnings per
share.
(b) GRANT OF PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. With respect to each
Performance-based Award granted to a Covered Employee, the Committee shall
select, within the first 90 days of a Performance Cycle (or, if shorter, within
the maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code) the performance
criteria for such grant, and the achievement targets with respect to each
performance criterion (including a threshold level of performance below which no
amount will become payable with respect to such Award). Each Performance-based
Award will specify the amount payable, or the formula for determining the amount
payable, upon achievement of the various applicable performance targets. The
performance criteria established by the Committee may be (but need not be)
different for each Performance Cycle and different goals may be applicable to
Performance-based Awards to different Covered Employees.
(c) PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS. Following the completion of a
Performance Cycle, the Committee shall meet to review and certify in writing
whether, and to what extent, the performance criteria for the Performance Cycle
have been achieved and, if so, to also calculate and certify in writing the
amount of the Performance-based Awards earned for the Performance Cycle. The
Committee shall then determine the actual size of each Covered Employee's
Performance-based Award, and, in doing so, may reduce or eliminate the amount of
the Performance-based Award for a Covered Employee if, in its sole judgment,
such reduction or elimination is appropriate.
11
<Page>
(d) MAXIMUM AWARD PAYABLE. The maximum Performance-based Award payable to
any one Covered Employee under the Plan for a Performance Cycle is 300,000
Shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3(b) hereof).
SECTION 11. DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS
(a) DIVIDEND EQUIVALENT RIGHTS. A Dividend Equivalent Right is an Award
entitling the grantee to receive credits based on cash dividends that would have
been paid on the shares of Stock specified in the Dividend Equivalent Right (or
other award to which it relates) if such shares had been issued to and held by
the grantee. A Dividend Equivalent Right may be granted hereunder to any grantee
as a component of another Award or as a freestanding award. The terms and
conditions of Dividend Equivalent Rights shall be specified in the Award
agreement. Dividend equivalents credited to the holder of a Dividend Equivalent
Right may be paid currently or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional
shares of Stock, which may thereafter accrue additional equivalents. Any such
reinvestment shall be at Fair Market Value on the date of reinvestment or such
other price as may then apply under a dividend reinvestment plan sponsored by
the Company, if any. Dividend Equivalent Rights may be settled in cash or shares
of Stock or a combination thereof, in a single installment or installments. A
Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a component of another Award may provide
that such Dividend Equivalent Right shall be settled upon exercise, settlement,
or payment of, or lapse of restrictions on, such other award, and that such
Dividend Equivalent Right shall expire or be forfeited or annulled under the
same conditions as such other award. A Dividend Equivalent Right granted as a
component of another Award may also contain terms and conditions different from
such other award.
(b) INTEREST EQUIVALENTS. Any Award under this Plan that is settled in
whole or in part in cash on a deferred basis may provide in the grant for
interest equivalents to be credited with respect to such cash payment. Interest
equivalents may be compounded and shall be paid upon such terms and conditions
as may be specified by the grant.
(c) TERMINATION. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator
either in the Award agreement or, subject to Section 14 below, in writing after
the Award agreement is issued, a grantee's rights in all Dividend Equivalent
Rights or interest equivalents shall automatically terminate upon the grantee's
termination of employment (or cessation of service relationship) with the
Company and its Subsidiaries for any reason.
SECTION 12. TAX WITHHOLDING
(a) PAYMENT BY GRANTEE. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of
which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder
first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for Federal income
tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the
Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any
kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such income. The Company and
its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct
any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The
Company's obligation to deliver stock certificates to any grantee is subject to
and conditioned on tax obligations being satisfied by the grantee.

(b) PAYMENT IN STOCK. Subject to approval by the Administrator, a grantee
may elect to have the minimum required tax withholding obligation satisfied, in
whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of
Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate
Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would
satisfy the withholding amount due, or (ii) transferring to the Company shares
of Stock owned by the grantee with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the
date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due.
SECTION 13. TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC.
For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a
termination of employment:
(a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from
the Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or
(b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for
any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee's right to
re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the
policy pursuant to which the leave of absence was granted or if the
Administrator otherwise so provides in writing.
SECTION 14. AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION
The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the
Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the
purpose of satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no
such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without
the holder's consent. Except as provided in Section 3(b) or 3(c), in no event
may the Administrator exercise its discretion to reduce the exercise price of
outstanding Stock Options or effect repricing through cancellation and
re-grants. Any material Plan amendments (other than amendments that curtail the
scope of the Plan), including any Plan amendments that (i) increase the number
of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) expand the type of Awards
available, materially expand the eligibility to participate or materially extend
the term of the Plan, or (iii) materially change the method of determining Fair
Market Value, shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled
to vote at a meeting of stockholders. In addition, to the extent determined by
the Administrator to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock
Options granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code or to
ensure that compensation earned under Awards qualifies as performance-based
compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject
to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of
stockholders. Nothing in this Section 14 shall limit the Administrator's
authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(c).
SECTION 15. STATUS OF PLAN
With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and
any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a
grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the
Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in
connection with any Award or Awards. In its sole discretion, the Administrator
may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company's
obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder,
provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent
with the foregoing sentence.

SECTION 16. GENERAL PROVISIONS
(a) NO DISTRIBUTION; COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. The Administrator
may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to represent to and
agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares
without a view to distribution thereof.
No shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to an Award until all
applicable securities law and other legal and stock exchange or similar
requirements have been satisfied. The Administrator may require the placing of
such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates for Stock and Awards as
it deems appropriate.
(b) DELIVERY OF STOCK CERTIFICATES. Stock certificates to grantees under
this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all purposes when the Company or a stock
transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United
States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee's last known address on
file with the Company.
(c) OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS; NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. Nothing
contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional
compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either
generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this
Plan and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to
continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary.
(d) TRADING POLICY RESTRICTIONS. Option exercises and other Awards under
the Plan shall be subject to such Company's insider trading policy and
procedures, as in effect from time to time.
(e) DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY. Each grantee to whom an Award has been made
under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any
Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee's
death. Any such designation shall be on a form provided for that purpose by the
Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Administrator. If
no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated
beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the beneficiary shall be the
grantee's estate.
SECTION 17. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN
This Plan shall become effective upon approval by the holders of a majority
of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present.
Subject to such approval by the stockholders and to the requirement that no
Stock may be issued hereunder prior to such approval, Stock Options and other
Awards may be granted hereunder on and after adoption of this Plan by the Board.
No grants of Stock Options and other Awards may be made hereunder after
February 9, 2014.
