(ii)

to determine whether and to what extent Awards are to be granted hereunder to Participants;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

to determine the number of Shares and/or cash to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

(iv)

to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of each Award granted hereunder;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(v)

to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, which shall govern all written instruments evidencing Awards granted hereunder;

 

 

 

 

 

 

(vi)

to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(vii)

to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award issued under the Plan (and any Award Agreement relating thereto) in its sole discretion and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

                    (b) The Committee may, in its absolute discretion, without amendment to the Plan, accelerate the date on which any Award granted under the Plan becomes exercisable or vested, waive or amend the operation of Plan provisions respecting exercise after termination of employment or otherwise adjust any of the terms of such Award.

                    (c) All decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or the Committee, nor any officer or employee of the Company acting on behalf of the Board or the Committee, shall be personally liable for any action, determination, or interpretation taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and all members of the Board or the Committee and each and any officer or employee of the Company acting on their behalf shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect of any such action, determination or interpretation.

                    (b) To the extent that an Award expires or is otherwise cancelled or terminated without being exercised, the Shares subject to such Award shall again be available for issuance in connection with future Awards granted under the Plan. Similarly, any Shares issued or issuable pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award or Performance Award which are subsequently forfeited or not issued pursuant to the terms of the grant shall once again be available for issuance in satisfaction of Awards. If any Shares have been pledged as collateral for indebtedness incurred by a Participant in connection with the exercise of an Award and such Shares are returned to the Company in satisfaction of such indebtedness, such Shares shall again be available for issuance in connection with future Awards granted under the Plan.

                    (c) From and after the date that the Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value with respect to

which Awards may be granted to any individual Participant during any fiscal year shall not exceed $1,000,000.

                    Section 5. Equitable Adjustments; Change in Control

                    (a) In the event of any Change in Capitalization, an equitable substitution or adjustment may be made in (i) the aggregate number and/or kind of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and (ii) the kind, number and/or Exercise Price of Shares or other property (including cash) subject to outstanding Awards granted under the Plan, in each case as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Such other equitable substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Awards in exchange for payment in cash or other property of the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by such Awards, reduced, in the case of Options, in the exercise price thereof.

                    (b) Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in the event of a Change of Control, unless an Award is assumed or an equivalent award or right is substituted therefore, such Awards shall become fully vested and exercisable and all restrictions on the vesting or exercisability of such Awards shall lapse as of the date of the Change of Control. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving or continuing corporation or any transaction in which a Change in Control is to occur, all of the Company’s obligations regarding options that were granted hereunder and that are outstanding and vested on the date of such event (taking into consideration any acceleration of vesting in connection with such transaction) shall, on such terms as may be approved by the Committee prior to such event, be (a) assumed by the surviving or continuing corporation; or (b) canceled in exchange for cash, securities of the acquiror or other property. It is acknowledged that the substantive effect of the foregoing provision on a Participant is the same as it was under the Prior Stock Incentive Plan, taking into account all of the terms of the Options originally issued under the Prior Stock Incentive Plan (including, without limitation, any stockholders agreement that a Participant was bound by).

                    Section 6. Eligibility.

                    The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by the Committee, in its sole discretion, from among Eligible Recipients. The Committee shall have the authority to grant Awards to any Eligible Recipient, provided however that Incentive Stock Options may only be granted to Eligible Recipients employed by the Company or a Subsidiary or Parent of the Company.

                    Section 7. Options.

                    (a) General. Any Option granted under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form as the Committee may from time to time approve. The provisions of each Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Participants who are granted Options shall enter into an Award Agreement with the Company, in such form as the Committee shall determine, which Award Agreement shall set forth, among other things,

8


the Exercise Price of the Option, the term of the Option and provisions regarding exercisability and vesting of the Option granted thereunder. The Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Nonqualified Stock Options. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, it shall constitute a separate Nonqualified Stock Option. More than one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding concurrently hereunder. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)-(l) of this Section 7 and the Award Agreement may contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine.

                    (b) Exercise Price. The per share Exercise Price of Shares purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time of the original grant but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on such date, and, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on such date if, on such date, the Eligible Recipient is a Ten Percent Owner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent required at the time of grant by California “blue sky” laws, the Exercise Price of an Option granted to a Ten Percent Owner shall be not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant of such Option.

                    (c) Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten years after the date such Option is granted. If the Eligible Recipient is a Ten Percent Owner, an Incentive Stock Option may not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

                    (d) Exercisability. Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment of preestablished corporate performance goals, as shall be determined by the Committee in the Option Agreement or after the time of grant; provided that, to the extent required by California “blue sky” laws, Options granted to Eligible Recipients other than officers, directors or consultants of the Company shall be exercisable at the rate of at least 20% per year over five years from the date of grant. The Committee may also provide that any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion.

                    The Committee may provide at the time of grant or anytime thereafter, in its sole discretion, that any Option shall be exercisable with respect to Shares that are not vested, subject to such other terms and conditions as the Committee determines, including the requirement that the Optionee execute a Restricted Stock Award Agreement.

                    (e) Method of Exercise. 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, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent, and any taxes due thereon in accordance with Section 10 hereof, as determined by the Committee. As determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, payment in whole or in part may also be made (i) by means of any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Committee, (ii) in the form of unrestricted Shares owned by the Optionee for more than six months, (iii) loans pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section 7, (iv) any other form

9


of consideration approved by the Committee and permitted by applicable law or (v) any combination of the foregoing.

                    (f) Rights as Stockholder. An Optionee shall have no right to receive Shares or rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the Shares subject to the Option until the Optionee has given written notice of exercise, has paid in full for such Shares, has satisfied the requirements of Section 10 hereof and, if requested, has given the representation described in paragraph (b) of Section 11 hereof.

                    (g) Loans. The Company or any Parent or Subsidiary may make loans available to Optionees for the payment of the exercise price of outstanding Options. Such loans shall (i) be evidenced by full-recourse promissory notes entered into by the Optionees in favor of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, (ii) bear interest at a fair interest rate as determined by the Committee, (iii) be subject to such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as the Committee shall determine, and (iv) be subject to Committee approval. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, when a loan is made, Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at least equal to the principal amount of the loan shall be pledged by the Optionee to the Company as security for payment of the unpaid balance of the loan, and such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement, the terms of which shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion; provided that each loan shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and rules of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction.

                    (h) Nontransferability of Options. The Optionee shall not be permitted to sell, transfer, pledge or assign any Option other than by will and the laws of descent and distribution (including by instrument to an inter vivos or testamentary trust in which the Options are to be passed to beneficiaries upon the death of the Participant) and all Options shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant, in each case, except as set forth in the following two sentences. During an Optionee’s lifetime, the Committee may, in its discretion, permit the transfer, assignment or other encumbrance of an outstanding Option if such Option is a Nonqualified Stock Option or an Incentive Stock Option that the Committee and the Participant intend to change to a Nonqualified Stock Option. Subject to the approval of the Committee and to any conditions that the Committee may prescribe, an Optionee may, upon providing written notice to the Company, elect to transfer any or all Options described in the preceding sentence to members of his or her Immediate Family or to a trust, all of the beneficiaries of which are members of the Optionee’s Immediate Family; provided that no such transfer by any Participant may be made in exchange for consideration.

                    (i) Termination of Employment or Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Option Agreement, if an Optionee’s employment with, or service as a director, consultant or advisor to, the Company or to any Parent or Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than Cause, (i) Options granted to such Participant, to the extent that they are exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable for thirty days (six months in the case of termination by reason of death or Disability), or until such later date as is otherwise determined by the Committee thereafter, and (ii) Options granted to such Optionee, to the extent that they were not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire on the date of such termination. The 30-day period described in the preceding sentence (i) shall be extended to six months from

10


the date of such termination in the event of the Optionee’s death or Disability prior to or during such 30-day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term. Unless provided in an Option Agreement or in the Committee’s discretion any time thereafter, in the event of the termination of an Optionee’s employment for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Participant shall expire on the date of such termination.

                    (j) Limitation on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plan of the Company shall exceed $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such Incentive Stock Option is granted.

                    (k) Right of First Refusal. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, each Option Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option shall provide that the right of an Optionee to dispose of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option prior to the occurrence of a Public Offering shall be conditioned upon the Company’s first being offered the opportunity to purchase such Shares itself, subject to such terms and conditions as may be set forth in the Option Agreement.

                    Section 8. Restricted Stock Awards.

                    Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may, in its discretion, determine. Restricted Stock Awards issued under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in such form as the Committee may from time to time determine. Restricted Stock Awards may be subject to restrictions which lapse over time with or without regard to Performance Objectives for a specific Performance Period.

                    (a) Receipt of Shares. Each Award Agreement shall set forth the number of Shares issuable under the Restricted Stock Award evidenced thereby. Subject to the restrictions of Sections 8(a), 8(b) and 8(c) of the Plan and as set forth in the related Award Agreement, the number of Shares granted under a Restricted Stock Award shall be issued to the Eligible Recipient thereof on the date of grant of such Restricted Stock Award or as soon as may be practicable thereafter and deposited into escrow, if applicable. If the Committee determines that a Restricted Stock Award shall be subject to the attainment of Performance Objectives, then such specific Performance Objectives shall be established prior to the grant of the Restricted Stock Award. In establishing the Performance Objective or Performance Objectives, the Committee shall also establish a schedule or schedules setting forth the portion of the Performance Award which will be earned or forfeited based on the degree of achievement of the Performance Objectives actually achieved or exceeded as determined by the Committee. The Committee may at any time adjust the Performance Objectives and any schedules and portions of payments related thereto, adjust the way Performance Objectives are measured, or shorten any Performance Period if it determines that conditions or the occurrence of events warrants such actions. The Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate the Restricted Stock Award payable upon the attainment of a Performance Objective, but shall not have the discretion to increase an Award upon the attainment of a Performance Objective.

11


                    (b) Rights of Recipient Participants. Shares received pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards shall be duly issued or transferred to the Participant, and a certificate or certificates for such Shares shall be issued in the Participant’s name. Subject to the restrictions in Section 8(c) of the Plan and as set forth in the related Award Agreement, the Participant shall thereupon be a stockholder with respect to all the Shares represented by such certificate or certificates and shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to such Shares, including any voting rights incident to such Shares and to receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares. As a condition to issuing Shares, the Committee may require a Participant to execute an escrow agreement and any other documents which the Committee may determine. In aid of such restrictions, certificates for Shares awarded hereunder, together with a suitably executed stock power signed by each recipient Participant, shall be held by the Company in its control for the account of such Participant (i) until the restrictions determined by the Committee, in its discretion, and as set forth in the related Award Agreement, lapse pursuant to the Plan or the agreement, at which time a certificate for the appropriate number of Shares (free of all restrictions imposed by the Plan or the Award Agreement except those established by the Committee at the time of grant of the Award) shall be delivered to the Participant, or (ii) until such Shares are forfeited to the Company and cancelled as provided by the Plan or the Award Agreement.

                    (c) Non-Transferability of Restricted Stock Awards. Until such time as the restrictions determined by the Committee or otherwise set forth in the related Award Agreement have lapsed, the Shares awarded to a Participant and held by the Company pursuant to Section 8(b) of the Plan, and any right to vote such Shares or receive dividends on such Shares, may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of; provided, however, that, if so provided in the Award Agreement, such Shares may be transferred upon the death of the Participant to such of his legal representatives, heirs and legatees as may be entitled thereto by will or the laws of intestacy.

                    (d) Restrictions. Shares received pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions as the Committee may determine, including, without limitation, restrictions on the sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition of such Shares and the requirement that the Participant forfeit such Shares back to the Company upon termination of employment for any reason or for specified reasons.

                    (e) Purchase Price. To the extent required by California “blue sky” laws at the time of purchase of Restricted Stock, the per share purchase price payable by a Participant in respect of Restricted Stock shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock (and not less than 100% for a Ten Percent Owner).

                    Section 9. Performance Awards.

                    (a) Performance Periods. The Committee shall establish Performance Periods applicable to Performance Awards. There shall be no limitation on the number of Performance Periods established by the Committee and more than one Performance Period may encompass the same fiscal year.

12


                    (b) Performance Objectives. The Committee shall establish one or more specific Performance Objectives for a Performance Period and such Performance Objectives shall be established prior to the grant of any Performance Awards with respect to such period. In establishing the Performance Objective or Performance Objectives, the Committee shall also establish a schedule or schedules setting forth the portion of the Performance Award which will be earned or forfeited based on the degree of achievement of the Performance Objectives actually achieved or exceeded as determined by the Committee. The Committee may at any time adjust the Performance Objectives and any schedules and portions of payments related thereto, adjust the way Performance Objectives are measured, or shorten any Performance Period if it determines that conditions or the occurrence of events warrant such actions. The Committee shall have the right to reduce or eliminate the compensation or Award payable upon the attainment of a Performance Objective but shall not have the discretion to increase an Award upon the attainment of a Performance Objective.

                    (c) Grants of Performance Awards. Performance Awards may be granted under the Plan in such form and to such Employees as the Committee may from time to time approve. Performance Awards may be granted alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards under the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the amount or number of Performance Awards to be granted to a Participant, and the Committee may impose different terms and conditions on any particular Performance Award granted to any Participant. Each grant of a Performance Award shall be evidenced by a written instrument stating the number of Performance Shares or Performance Units granted, the Performance Period, the Performance Objective or Performance Objectives, the proportion of payments for performance between the minimum and full performance levels, if any, restrictions applicable to Shares receivable in settlement, if any, and any other terms, conditions, restrictions and rights with respect to such grant as determined by the Committee. The Committee may determine that the Participant forfeit such Performance Awards back to the Company upon termination of employment for any reason or for specified reasons. The Committee may provide, in its sole discretion, that during a Performance Period, a Participant shall be paid cash amounts, with respect to each Performance Share or Performance Unit held by such individual in the same manner, at the same time, and in the same amount paid, as a dividend on any Share.

                    (d) Non transferability of Performance Awards. Until such time as the Performance Objectives as determined by the Committee have been met and until any restrictions upon the Shares issued pursuant to any Performance Awards have lapsed, Performance Awards and any rights related thereto may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of by any Participant.

                    (e) Payment of Awards. As soon as practicable after the end of the applicable Performance Period as determined by the Committee, the Committee shall determine the extent to which the Performance Objectives have been met and the extent to which Performance Awards are payable. Payment in settlement of a Performance Award shall be as follows:

 

 

 

 

(i)

In the case of Performance Shares, one or more stock certificates representing the number of Shares payable shall be delivered to the Participant, free of all restrictions except those established by the Committee at the time of the grant of the Performance Shares; and

13


 

 

 

 

(ii)

In the case of Performance Units, entirely in cash, entirely in Shares, or in such combination of Shares and cash as the Committee may determine, in its discretion, at any time prior to such payment. If payment is to be made in the form of cash, the amount payable for each unit earned shall be equal to the dollar value of each unit (as determined by the Committee) times the number of earned units.

                    Section 10. Repurchase Rights.

                    Any Repurchase Rights the Company may have in respect of Awards, to the extent required by California “blue sky” laws, shall lapse at the rate of at least 20% per year over five years from the date of grant of the Award. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, such Repurchase Right must be exercised, if at all, within 90 days following the termination of a Participant’s employment or service with the Company.

                    Section 11. Amendment and Termination.

                    The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, or discontinuation shall be made that would materially impair the rights of a Participant under any Award theretofore granted without such Participant’s consent. Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Board shall obtain approval of the Company’s stockholders for any amendment that would require such approval in order to satisfy the requirements of section 162(m), stock exchange rules or other applicable law. The Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Section 5 of the Plan, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent.

                    Section 12. Unfunded Status of Plan.

                    The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

                    Section 13. Withholding Taxes.

                    Whenever Shares are to be delivered pursuant to an Award, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, local and other withholding tax requirements related thereto. With the approval of the Committee, a Participant may satisfy the foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery Shares or by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each case, having a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date as of which the amount of tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in cash. Such an election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the Shares to be delivered pursuant to an Award.

14


                    Section 14. General Provisions.

                    (a) Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of any Award granted hereunder unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock may then be listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

                    (b) The Committee may require each person acquiring Shares to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such Shares may include any legend that the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

                    (c) All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Common Stock may then be listed, and any applicable federal or state securities law. The Committee may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

                    (d) Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to stockholder approval, if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of any Award shall confer upon any Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of any of its Eligible Recipients at any time. The granting of one Award to an Eligible Recipient shall not entitle the Eligible Recipient to any additional Award grants thereafter.

                    (e) To the extent applicable, pursuant to the provisions of Section 260.140.46 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, the Company shall provide to each Participant and to each individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, not less frequently than annually during the period such Participant or purchaser has one or more awards granted under the Plan outstanding, and, in the case of an individual who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such individual owns such Shares, copies of the Company’s annual financial statements. The Company shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees of the Company whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information.

                    (f) To the extent applicable, the provisions of Sections 260.160.41, 260.140.42 and 260.140,45 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations are incorporated herein by reference.

                    (g) The definitions set forth in this Plan are solely for the purposes of the operation of this Plan, and such definitions including, without limitation, the definition of

15


“Cause” shall not be used for any other purposes including, without limitation, whether or not an Eligible Recipient is terminated with or without cause for purposes unrelated to this Plan.

                    (h) Unless the Committee expressly provides otherwise, in connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, for such period as the Company or its underwriters may request and subject to such other provisions as the Committee may deem necessary or desirable, the Participant shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, offer, grant or sell any option or other contract for the purchase of, purchase any option or other contract for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer, or agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to, any Shares acquired under this Plan without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters.

                    (i) No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan.

                    (j) A Participant will be deemed to have terminated employment or service with the Company on the date the Participant no longer provides services or employment to the Company or a Subsidiary or Parent of the Company. If the entity which employs or engages the Participant ceases to be an affiliate of the Company (whether by sale or other corporate transaction), then such sale or other corporate transaction shall be deemed a termination of the Participant’s employment or service for purposes of this Plan.

                    Section 15. Board and Stockholder Approval of the Plan; Effective Date of the Plan.

                    The Plan was adopted by the Board and approved by the stockholders of the Company as of August 1, 2006, and shall be effective as of August 1, 2006 (the “Effective Date”).

                    Section 16. Term of Plan.

                    No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date, but Awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.

                    Section 17. Stockholders’ Agreement.

                    The Committee shall require, as a condition to receipt of Common Stock in respect of an Award prior to a Public Offering, that the participant sign a Stockholders’ Agreement.

                    Section 18. Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

                    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, no payment of or with respect any Award hereunder that constitutes deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code shall be made sooner than the date permitted for distributions to be made to key employees without the imposition of tax under the provisions of Section 409A of the Code or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, as in effect on the date of such payment.

16


                    Section 19. Governing Law.

                    The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
