ARTICLE I
PURPOSE
The purpose of this iGames Entertainment, Inc. Amended and Restated
2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is to enhance the profitability and value
of iGames Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company") for the benefit of its
stockholders by enabling the Company (i) to offer employees and consultants of
the Company and its Affiliates stock based incentives and other equity interests
in the Company, thereby creating a means to raise the level of stock ownership
by employees and consultants in order to attract, retain and reward such
employees and consultants and strengthen the mutuality of interests between
employees or consultants and the Company's stockholders and (ii) to offer equity
based awards to non-employee directors thereby attracting, retaining and
rewarding such non-employee directors and strengthening the mutuality of
interests between non-employee directors and the Company's stockholders.

order to exercise Options under the Plan;

extension or renewal;

Consultant, as a condition of the granting of any Award, to not sell or

of its duties hereunder, regardless of the apparent similarity of the matters
coming before it.

consult with legal counsel, who may be counsel for the Company or other counsel,

time and to the fullest extent permitted, arising out of any act or omission to
act in connection with the Plan, except to the extent arising out of such
officer's, member's or former member's own fraud or bad faith. Such

ARTICLE IV
SHARE AND OTHER LIMITATIONS
4.1 SHARES.
(a) GENERAL LIMITATION. The aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock which may be issued or used for reference purposes under this Plan
or with respect to which other Awards may be granted shall not exceed 10,000,000
shares (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2) which may
be either authorized and unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in or
acquired for the treasury of the Company.
If any Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this
Plan expires, terminates or is canceled for any reason without having been
exercised in full or, with respect to Options, the Company repurchases any
Option pursuant to Section 6.3(f), the number of shares of Common Stock
underlying the repurchased Option, and/or the number of shares of Common Stock
underlying any unexercised Stock Appreciation Right or Option shall again be
available for the purposes of Awards under the Plan. If a Tandem Stock
Appreciation Right or a Limited Stock Appreciation Right is granted in tandem
with an Option, such grant shall only apply once against the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Plan. In determining the
number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards other than Awards of
Incentive Stock Options, if Common Stock has been delivered or exchanged by a
Participant as full or partial payment to the Company for the exercise price or
for withholding taxes, in connection with the exercise of a Stock Option or the
number shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable has been reduced for full or
partial payment for the exercise price or for withholding taxes, the number of
shares of Common Stock delivered, exchanged or reduced shall again be available
for purposes of Awards under this Plan.
8
In the event Awards are granted to employees or Consultants
pursuant to Section 3.2(k), the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock
available under the Plan for Awards other than Incentive Stock Options shall be
increased by the number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued or used
for reference with respect to those Awards granted pursuant to Section 3.2(k).
The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under this Plan
with respect to Incentive Stock Options shall not be increased (subject to any
increase or decrease pursuant to Section 4.2).
(b) INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANT LIMITATIONS.
(i) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock
subject to any Option which may be granted under this Plan to each Participant
shall not exceed 5,000,000 shares (subject to any increase or decrease pursuant
to Section 4.2) during each fiscal year of the Company.
(ii) There are no annual individual Participant
limitations on Restricted Stock.
(iii) The maximum number of shares of Common Stock
subject to any Stock Appreciation Right which may be granted under this Plan to
each Participant shall not exceed 5,000,000 shares (subject to any increase or
decrease pursuant to Section 4.2) during each fiscal year of the Company. If a
Tandem Stock Appreciation Right or Limited Stock Appreciation Right is granted
in tandem with an Option it shall apply against the Participant's individual
share limitations for both Stock Appreciation Rights and Options.
(iv) The individual Participant limitations set forth
in this Section 4.1(b) shall be cumulative; that is, to the extent that shares
of Common Stock for which Awards are permitted to be granted to an Eligible
Employee or a Consultant during a fiscal year are not covered by an Award to
such Eligible Employee or Consultant in a fiscal year, the number of shares of
Common Stock available for Awards to such Eligible Employee or Consultant shall
automatically increase in the subsequent fiscal years during the term of the
Plan until used.
4.2 CHANGES.
(a) The existence of the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder
shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Board or the stockholders
of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization,
reorganization or other change in the Company's capital structure or its
business, any merger or consolidation of the Company or its Affiliates, any
issue of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or
affecting Common Stock, the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or its
Affiliates, any sale or transfer of all or part of its assets or business or any
other corporate act or proceeding.
(b) In the event of any such change in the capital structure
or business of the Company by reason of any stock dividend or distribution,
stock split or reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger,
consolidation, split-up, combination or exchange of shares, distribution with
respect to its outstanding Common Stock or capital stock other than Common
Stock, sale or transfer of all or part of its assets or business,
reclassification of its capital stock, or any similar change affecting the
Company's capital structure or business and the Committee determines an
9
adjustment is appropriate under the Plan, then the aggregate number and kind of
shares which thereafter may be issued under this Plan, the number and kind of
shares or other property (including cash) to be issued upon exercise of an
outstanding Option or other Awards granted under this Plan and the purchase
price thereof shall be appropriately adjusted consistent with such change in
such manner as the Committee may deem equitable to prevent substantial dilution
or enlargement of the rights granted to, or available for, Participants under
this Plan or as otherwise necessary to reflect the change, and any such
adjustment determined by the Committee shall be binding and conclusive on the
Company and all Participants and employees and their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and assigns.
(c) Fractional shares of Common Stock resulting from any
adjustment in Options or Awards pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (b) shall be
aggregated until, and eliminated at, the time of exercise by rounding-down for
fractions less than one-half (1/2) and rounding-up for fractions equal to or
greater than one-half (1/2). No cash settlements shall be made with respect to
fractional shares eliminated by rounding. Notice of any adjustment shall be
given by the Committee to each Participant whose Option or Award has been
adjusted and such adjustment (whether or not such notice is given) shall be
effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.
(d) In the event of a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is not the surviving entity or in the event of any transaction that
results in the acquisition of substantially all of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock by a single person or entity or by a group of persons and/or
entities acting in concert, or in the event of the sale or transfer of all of
the Company's assets (all of the foregoing being referred to as "Acquisition
Events"), then the Committee may, in its sole discretion, terminate all
outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights of Eligible Employees and
Consultants, effective as of the date of the Acquisition Event, by delivering
notice of termination to each such Participant at least twenty (20) days prior
to the date of consummation of the Acquisition Event; provided, that during the
period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the
consummation of the Acquisition Event, each such Participant shall have the
right to exercise in full all of his or her Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights that are then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on
exercisability otherwise contained in the Option or Award Agreements) but
contingent on occurrence of the Acquisition Event, and, provided that, if the
Acquisition Event does not take place within a specified period after giving
such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise shall be null and
void.
(e) If an Acquisition Event occurs, to the extent the
Committee does not terminate the outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation
Rights pursuant to Section 4.2(d), then the provisions of Section 4.2(b) shall
apply.
4.3 PURCHASE PRICE. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the
contrary, if authorized but previously unissued shares of Common Stock are
issued under this Plan, such shares shall not be issued for a consideration
which is less than as permitted under applicable law.

types: (i) an Incentive Stock Option intended to satisfy the requirements of
Section 422 of the Code or (ii) a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
6.2 GRANTS. The Committee shall have the authority to grant to any
Eligible Employee one or more Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock
Options, or both types of Stock Options (in each case with or without Stock
Appreciation Rights). The Committee shall have the authority to grant to any
Consultant one or more Non-Qualified Stock Options (with or without Stock
Appreciation Rights). To the extent that any Stock Option does not qualify as an
Incentive Stock Option (whether because of its provisions or the time or manner
of its exercise or otherwise), such Stock Option, or the portion thereof that
does not qualify, shall constitute a separate Non-Qualified Stock Option.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary or any
provision in an agreement evidencing the grant of a Stock Option to the
contrary, any Stock Option granted to an Eligible Employee of an Affiliate
(other than an Affiliate which is a Parent or a Subsidiary) or to any Consultant
shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
6.3 TERMS OF OPTIONS. Options granted under this Plan shall be subject
to the following terms and conditions, shall be subject to Section 3.2 hereof
and the other provisions of this Plan, and shall be in such form and contain
such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of this
Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable:
(a) OPTION PRICE. The option price per share of Common Stock
purchasable under an Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee
at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of
the share of Common Stock at the time of grant; provided, however, if an
Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder, the purchase
price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock.
The purchase price of shares of Common Stock subject to a Non-Qualified Stock
Option shall be determined by the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
an Option is modified, extended or renewed and, thereby, deemed to be the
issuance of a new Option under the Code, the exercise price of an Option may
continue to be the original exercise price even if less than the Fair Market
Value of the Common Stock at the time of such modification, extension or
renewal.
(b) OPTION TERM. The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed
by the Committee, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than ten (10)
years after the date the Option is granted, provided, however, the term of an
Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder may not exceed five
(5) years.
11
(c) EXERCISABILITY. Stock Options shall be exercisable at such
time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by
the Committee at grant. If the Committee provides, in its discretion, that any
Stock Option is exercisable subject to certain limitations (including, without
limitation, that it is exercisable only in installments or within certain time
periods), the Committee may waive such limitations on the exercisability at any
time at or after grant in whole or in part (including, without limitation, that
the Committee may waive the installment exercise provisions or accelerate the
time at which Options may be exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the
Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion.
(d) METHOD OF EXERCISE. Subject to whatever installment
exercise and waiting period provisions apply under subsection (c) above, Stock
Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Option term,
by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of
shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by
payment in full of the purchase price in such form, or such other arrangement
for the satisfaction of the purchase price, as the Committee may accept. To the
extent determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at or after grant,
payment in full or in part may be made as follows: (i) in cash or by check, bank
draft or money order payable to the order of the Company; (ii) if the Common
Stock is traded on a national securities exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.
or quoted on a national quotation system sponsored by the National Association
of Securities Dealers, through a "cashless exercise" procedure whereby the
Participant delivers irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to
the Company an amount equal to the purchase price, (iii) in the form of Common
Stock owned by the Participant for at least 6 months (and for which the
Participant has good title free and clear of any liens and encumbrances) or (iv)
in the form of Restricted Stock; provided, however, that in each case, such
payment is based on the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the payment
date as determined by the Committee (without regard to any forfeiture
restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock). No shares of Common Stock
shall be issued until payment, as provided herein, therefore has been made or
provided for. If payment in full or in part has been made in the form of
Restricted Stock, an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock issued on
exercise of the Option shall be subject to the same restrictions and conditions,
during the remainder of the Restriction Period, applicable to the Restricted
Stock surrendered therefore.
(e) INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION LIMITATIONS. To the extent that the
aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Common
Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the
first time by an Eligible Employee during any calendar year under the Plan
and/or any other stock option plan of the Company or any Subsidiary or Parent
exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Options which are not
Incentive Stock Options. In addition, if an Eligible Employee does not remain
employed by the Company, any Subsidiary or Parent at all times from the time the
Option is granted until three (3) months prior to the date of exercise (or such
other period as required by applicable law), such Option shall be treated as an
Option which is not a Non-Qualified Stock Option.
Should the foregoing provision not be necessary in order for the Stock
Options to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, or should any additional
provisions be required, the Committee may amend the Plan accordingly, without
the necessity of obtaining the approval of the stockholders of the Company.
(f) BUY OUT AND SETTLEMENT PROVISIONS. The Committee may at
any time on behalf of the Company offer to buy out an Option previously granted,
based on such terms and
12
conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Participant
at the time that such offer is made.
(g) FORM, MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF OPTIONS.
Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan, an
Option shall be evidenced by such form of agreement or grant as is approved by
the Committee, and the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options
granted under the Plan (provided that the rights of a Participant are not
reduced without his consent), or accept the surrender of outstanding Options (up
to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new
Options in substitution therefor (to the extent not theretofore exercised).
(h) DEFERRED DELIVERY OF COMMON SHARES. The Committee may in
its discretion permit Participants to defer delivery of Common Stock acquired
pursuant to a Participant's exercise of an Option in accordance with the terms
and conditions established by the Committee.
(i) OTHER TERMS AND CONDITIONS. Options may contain such other
provisions, which shall not be inconsistent with any of the foregoing terms of
the Plan, as the Committee shall deem appropriate including, without limitation,
permitting "reloads" such that the same number of Options are granted as the
number of Options exercised, shares used to pay for the exercise price of
Options or shares used to pay withholding taxes ("Reloads"). With respect to
Reloads, the exercise price of the new Stock Option shall be the Fair Market
Value on the date of the "reload" and the term of the Stock Option shall be the
same as the remaining term of the Options that are exercised, if applicable, or
such other exercise price and term as determined by the Committee.
6.4 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. The following rules apply with regard to
Options upon the Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy of a
Participant:
(a) TERMINATION BY REASON OF DEATH. If a Participant's
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is by reason of death,
any Stock Option held by such Participant, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at grant or, if no rights of the Participant's estate are reduced,
thereafter, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at the Participant's
death, by the legal representative of the estate, at any time within a period of
one (1) year from the date of such death, but in no event beyond the expiration
of the stated term of such Stock Option.
(b) TERMINATION BY REASON OF DISABILITY. If a Participant's
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is by reason of
Disability, any Stock Option held by such Participant, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee at grant or, if no rights of the Participant are
reduced, thereafter, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at the
Participant's termination, by the Participant (or the legal representative of
the Participant's estate if the Participant dies after termination) at any time
within a period of one (1) year from the date of such termination, but in no
event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option.
(c) TERMINATION BY REASON OF RETIREMENT. If a Participant's
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is by reason of
Retirement, any Stock Option held by such Participant, unless otherwise
determined by the Committee at grant, or, if no rights of the Participant are
reduced, thereafter, shall be fully vested and may thereafter be exercised by
the
13
Participant at any time within a period of one (1) year from the date of such
termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such
Stock Option; provided, however, that, if the Participant dies within such
exercise period, any unexercised Stock Option held by such Participant shall
thereafter be exercisable, to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time
of death, for a period of one (1) year (or such other period as the Committee
may specify at grant or, if no rights of the Participant's estate are reduced,
thereafter) from the date of such death, but in no event beyond the expiration
of the stated term of such Stock Option.
(d) INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR TERMINATION FOR
GOOD REASON. If a Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of
Consultancy is by involuntary termination without Cause or for Good Reason, any
Stock Option held by such Participant, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at grant or, if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter,
may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at termination, by the Participant
at any time within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of such
termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of such
Stock Option.
(e) TERMINATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON. If a Participant's
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is voluntary but without
Good Reason and occurs prior to, or more than ninety (90) days after, the
occurrence of an event which would be grounds for Termination of Employment or
Termination of Consultancy by the Company for Cause (without regard to any
notice or cure period requirements), any Stock Option held by such Participant,
unless otherwise determined by the Committee at grant or, if no rights of the
Participant are reduced, thereafter, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable
at termination, by the Participant at any time within a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of such termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of
the stated term of such Stock Option.
(f) OTHER TERMINATION. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at grant or, if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter,
if a Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is
for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement, Good Reason,
involuntary termination without Cause or voluntary termination as provided in
subsection (e) above, any Stock Option held by such Participant shall thereupon
terminate and expire as of the date of termination, provided that (unless the
Committee determines a different period upon grant or, if no rights of the
Participant are reduced, thereafter) in the event the termination is for Cause
or is a voluntary termination without Good Reason within ninety (90) days after
occurrence of an event which would be grounds for Termination of Employment or
Termination of Consultancy by the Company for Cause (without regard to any
notice or cure period requirement), any Stock Option held by the Participant at
the time of occurrence of the event which would be grounds for Termination of
Employment or Termination of Consultancy by the Company for Cause shall be
deemed to have terminated and expired upon occurrence of the event which would
be grounds for Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy by the
Company for Cause.
ARTICLE VII
RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
7.1 AWARDS OF RESTRICTED STOCK. Shares of Restricted Stock may be
issued to Eligible Employees or Consultants either alone or in addition to other
Awards granted under the Plan.
14
The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or
times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be made, the number of shares to
be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the recipient (subject to Section
7.2), the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture,
the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and
conditions of the Awards.
7.2 AWARDS AND CERTIFICATES. The prospective Participant selected to
receive a Restricted Stock Award shall not have any rights with respect to such
Award, unless and until such Participant has delivered a fully executed copy of
the applicable agreement evidencing the Award (the "Restricted Stock Award
Agreement") to the Company and has otherwise complied with the applicable terms
and conditions of such Award. Further, such Award shall be subject to the
following conditions:
(a) PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price of Restricted Stock
shall be fixed by the Committee. Subject to Section 4.3, the purchase price for
shares of Restricted Stock may be zero to the extent permitted by applicable
law.
(b) ACCEPTANCE. Awards of Restricted Stock must be accepted
within a period of sixty (60) days (or such shorter period as the Committee may
specify at grant) after the Award date, by executing a Restricted Stock Award
Agreement and by paying whatever price (if any) the Committee has designated
thereunder.
(c) LEGEND. Each Participant receiving a Restricted Stock
Award shall be issued a stock certificate in respect of such shares of
Restricted Stock, unless the Committee elects to use another system, such as
book entries by the transfer agent, as evidencing ownership of a Restricted
Stock Award. Such certificate shall be registered in the name of such
Participant, and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms,
conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Award, substantially in the
following form:
"The anticipation, alienation, attachment, sale, transfer,
assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge of the shares of
stock represented hereby are subject to the terms and
conditions (including forfeiture) of the iGames Entertainment,
Inc. (the "Company") Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Incentive
Plan and an Agreement entered into between the registered
owner and the Company, dated _________ __, 200_. Copies of
such Plan and Agreement are on file at the principal office of
the Company."
(d) CUSTODY. The Committee may require that any stock
certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody by the Company until the
restrictions thereon shall have lapsed, and that, as a condition of any
Restricted Stock Award, the Participant shall have delivered a duly signed stock
power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such Award.
7.3 RESTRICTIONS AND CONDITIONS ON RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS. The shares
of Restricted Stock awarded pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to Article X
and the following restrictions and conditions:
15
(a) RESTRICTION PERIOD; VESTING AND ACCELERATION OF VESTING.
The Participant shall not be permitted to Transfer shares of Restricted Stock
awarded under this Plan during a period set by the Committee (the "Restriction
Period") commencing with the date of such Award, as set forth in the Restricted
Stock Award agreement and such agreement shall set forth a vesting schedule and
any events which would accelerate vesting of the shares of Restricted Stock.
Within these limits, based on service, or other criteria determined by the
Committee, the Committee may provide for the lapse of such restrictions in
installments in whole or in part, or may accelerate the vesting of all or any
part of any Restricted Stock Award.
(b) RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. Except as provided in this
subsection (b) and subsection (a) above and as otherwise determined by the
Committee, the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Restricted
Stock, all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company
including, without limitation, the right to receive any dividends, the right to
vote such shares and, subject to and conditioned upon the full vesting of shares
of Restricted Stock, the right to tender such shares. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the payment of dividends shall be deferred until, and conditioned
upon, the expiration of the applicable Restriction Period, unless the Committee,
in its sole discretion, specifies otherwise at the time of the Award.
(c) LAPSE OF RESTRICTIONS. If and when the Restriction Period
expires without a prior forfeiture of the Restricted Stock subject to such
Restriction Period, the certificates for such shares shall be delivered to the
Participant. All legends shall be removed from said certificates at the time of
delivery to the Participant except as otherwise required by applicable law.
(d) TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR TERMINATION OF CONSULTANCY
FOR RESTRICTED STOCK. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Restricted
Stock Award agreement and this Plan, upon a Participant's Termination of
Employment or Termination of Consultancy for any reason during the relevant
Restriction Period, all Restricted Stock still subject to restriction will vest
or be forfeited in accordance with the terms and conditions established by the
Committee at grant or thereafter.
ARTICLE VIII
STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS
8.1 TANDEM STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Stock Appreciation Rights may be
granted in conjunction with all or part of any Stock Option (a "Reference Stock
Option") granted under this Plan ("Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights"). In the
case of a Non-Qualified Stock Option, such rights may be granted either at or
after the time of the grant of such Reference Stock Option. In the case of an
Incentive Stock Option, such rights may be granted only at the time of the grant
of such Reference Stock Option.
8.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TANDEM STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Tandem
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as shall be determined from time
to time by the Committee, including Article X and the following:
16
(a) TERM. A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right or applicable
portion thereof granted with respect to a Reference Stock Option shall terminate
and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the Reference
Stock Option, except that, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, in its
sole discretion, at the time of grant, a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right granted
with respect to less than the full number of shares covered by the Reference
Stock Option shall not be reduced until and then only to the extent the exercise
or termination of the Reference Stock Option causes the number of shares covered
by the Tandem Stock Appreciation Right to exceed the number of shares remaining
available and unexercised under the Reference Stock Option.
(b) EXERCISABILITY. Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be
exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Reference
Stock Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the
provisions of Article VI and this Article VIII.
(c) METHOD OF EXERCISE. A Tandem Stock Appreciation Right may
be exercised by an optionee by surrendering the applicable portion of the
Reference Stock Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Participant shall
be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in this
Section 8.2. Stock Options that have been so surrendered, in whole or in part,
shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related Tandem Stock
Appreciation Rights have been exercised.
(d) PAYMENT. Upon the exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation
Right a Participant shall be entitled to receive up to, but no more than, an
amount in cash and/or Common Stock (as chosen by the Committee in its sole
discretion) equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of one share
of Common Stock over the option price per share specified in the Reference Stock
Option multiplied by the number of shares in respect of which the Tandem Stock
Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, with the Committee having the
right to determine the form of payment.
(e) DEEMED EXERCISE OF REFERENCE STOCK OPTION. Upon the
exercise of a Tandem Stock Appreciation Right, the Reference Stock Option or
part thereof to which such Stock Appreciation Right is related shall be deemed
to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation set forth in Article IV
of the Plan on the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Plan.
8.3 NON-TANDEM STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation
Rights may also be granted without reference to any Stock Options granted under
this Plan.
8.4 TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF NON-TANDEM STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.
Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to such terms and
conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as shall be
determined from time to time by the Committee, including Article X and the
following:
(a) TERM. The term of each Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Right
shall be fixed by the Committee, but shall not be greater than ten (10) years
after the date the right is granted.
(b) EXERCISABILITY. Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall
be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as
shall be determined by the Committee at grant. If the Committee provides, in its
discretion, that any such right is exercisable subject to certain
17
limitations (including, without limitation, that it is exercisable only in
installments or within certain time periods), the Committee may waive such
limitation on the exercisability at any time at or after grant in whole or in
part (including, without limitation, that the Committee may waive the
installment exercise provisions or accelerate the time at which rights may be
exercised), based on such factors, if any, as the Committee shall determine, in
its sole discretion.
(c) METHOD OF EXERCISE. Subject to whatever installment
exercise and waiting period provisions apply under subsection (b) above,
Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised in whole or in part at any
time during the option term, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company
specifying the number of Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights to be exercised.
(d) PAYMENT. Upon the exercise of a Non-Tandem Stock
Appreciation Right a Participant shall be entitled to receive, for each right
exercised, up to, but no more than, an amount in cash and/or Common Stock (as
chosen by the Committee in its sole discretion) equal in value to the excess of
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the date the right is
exercised over the Fair Market Value of one (1) share of Common Stock on the
date the right was awarded to the Participant.
8.5 LIMITED STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. The Committee may, in its sole
discretion, grant Tandem and Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights either as a
general Stock Appreciation Right or as a Limited Stock Appreciation Right.
Limited Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised only upon a Change in Control
(to the extent provided in an Award agreement granting such Limited Stock
Appreciation Rights) or the occurrence of such other event as the Committee may,
in its sole discretion, designate at the time of grant or thereafter. Upon the
exercise of Limited Stock Appreciation Rights, except as otherwise provided in
an Award agreement, the Participant shall receive in cash or Common Stock, as
determined by the Committee, an amount equal to the amount (1) set forth in
Section 8.2(d) with respect to Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights or (2) set forth
in Section 8.4(d) with respect to Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights.
8.6 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR TERMINATION OF CONSULTANCY. The
following rules apply with regard to Stock Appreciation Rights upon the
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy of a Participant:
(a) TERMINATION BY DEATH. If a Participant's Termination of
Employment or Termination of Consultancy is by reason of death, any Stock
Appreciation Right held by such Participant, unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at grant or if no rights of the Participant's estate are reduced,
thereafter, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at the Participant's
death, by the legal representative of the estate, at any time within a period of
one (1) year from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated
term of such Stock Appreciation Right, whichever period is the shorter.
(b) TERMINATION BY REASON OF DISABILITY. If a Participant's
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is by reason of
Disability, any Stock Appreciation Right held by such participant, unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at grant or, if no rights of the
Participant are reduced, thereafter, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable
at the Participant's termination, by the Participant (or the legal
representative of the Participant's estate if the Participant
18
dies after termination) at any time within a period of one (1) year from the
date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such
Stock Appreciation Right, whichever period is the shorter.
(c) TERMINATION BY REASON OF RETIREMENT. If a Participant's
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is by reason of
Retirement, any Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant, unless
otherwise determined by the Committee at grant or, if no rights of the
Participant are reduced, thereafter, shall be fully vested and may thereafter be
exercised by the Participant at any time within a period of one (1) year from
the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such
right, whichever period is the shorter; provided, however, that, if the
Participant dies within such one (1) year period, any unexercised Non-Tandem
Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant shall thereafter be
exercisable, to the extent to which it was exercisable at the time of death, for
a period of one (1) year (or such other period as the Committee may specify at
grant or if no rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter) from the date
of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such right,
whichever period is the shorter.
(d) INVOLUNTARY TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE OR TERMINATION FOR
GOOD REASON. If a Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of
Consultancy is by involuntary termination without Cause or for Good Reason, any
Stock Appreciation Right held by such participant, unless otherwise determined
by the Committee at grant or if no rights of the participant are reduced,
thereafter, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at termination, by the
Participant at any time within a period of ninety (90) days from the date of
such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such right,
whichever period is shorter.
(e) TERMINATION WITHOUT GOOD REASON. If a Participant's
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is voluntary but without
Good Reason and occurs prior to, or more than ninety (90) days after, the
occurrence of an event which would be grounds for Termination of Employment or
Termination of Consultancy by the Company for Cause (without regard to any
notice or cure period requirements), any Stock Appreciation Right held by such
Participant, unless greater or lesser exercise rights are provided by the
Committee at the time of grant or, if no rights of the participant are reduced,
thereafter, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable at termination, by the
Participant at any time within a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
such termination, but in no event beyond the expiration of the stated term of
such Stock Appreciation Right.
(f) OTHER TERMINATION. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee at grant, or, if no rights of the Participant are reduced thereafter,
if a Participant's Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy is
for any reason other than death, Disability, Retirement, Good Reason,
involuntary termination without Cause or voluntary termination as provided in
subsection (e) above, any Stock Appreciation Right held by such Participant
shall thereupon terminate or expire as of the date of termination, provided,
that (unless the Committee determines a different period upon grant, or, if no
rights of the Participant are reduced, thereafter) in the event the termination
is for Cause or is a voluntary termination as provided in subsection (e) above,
within ninety (90) days after occurrence of an event which would be grounds for
Termination of Employment or Termination of Consultancy by the Company for Cause
(without regard to any notice or cure period requirement), any Stock
Appreciation Right held by the Participant at the time of the occurrence of the
event which would be grounds for Termination of Employment or Termination of
Consultancy by the Company for Cause
19
shall be deemed to have terminated and expired upon occurrence of the event
which would be grounds for Termination of Employment or Termination of
Consultancy by the Company for Cause.
ARTICLE IX
NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR AWARDS
9.1 OPTIONS. The terms of this Article IX shall apply only to Options
granted to non-employee directors.
9.2 GRANTS.
(a) INITIAL STOCK OPTION GRANT. Subject to the terms of the
Plan, each non-employee director of the Company who, as of December 31, 2003,
has not previously been granted Options under the Plan, shall be granted
Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase Common Stock with a value of $12,000.00
pro-rated for directors who have served less than a year since their initial
grant as of December 31, 2003, or, if later, as of the date the non-employee
director begins service as a director on the Board.
(b) SUBSEQUENT STOCK OPTION GRANTS. Upon the date of each
Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each non-employee director shall be granted
Non-Qualified Stock Options to purchase Common Stock with a value of $12,000.00
(or a pro rata portion thereof if the director did not serve the entire year
since the date of the last annual meeting). These options shall vest in full on
the date of the third Annual Meeting of Stockholders held following the date of
the grant, provided that the non-employer director is a director on the Board on
that date.
9.3 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK OPTIONS. Stock Options granted under this
Article IX shall be Non-Qualified Stock Options.
9.4 TERMS OF OPTIONS. Options granted under this Article shall be
subject to the following terms and conditions and shall be in such form and
contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with terms of
this Plan, as the Committee shall deem desirable:
(a) OPTION PRICE. The purchase price per share of Common Stock
deliverable upon the exercise of an Option granted pursuant to Section 9.2 shall
be 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock (110% of the Fair Market
Value if the non-employee director is a Ten Percent Stockholder) at the time of
the grant of the Option (the "Purchase Price"), or the par value of the Common
Stock, whichever is greater.
(b) EXERCISABILITY. Except as otherwise provided herein,
twenty-five percent (25%) of any Option granted under Section 9.2(a) shall be
exercisable on or after each of the four anniversaries following the date of
grant.
(c) METHOD FOR EXERCISE. A non-employee director electing to
exercise one or more Options shall give written notice of exercise to the
Company specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Common Stock purchased
pursuant to the exercise of Options shall be paid for at the time
20
of exercise in cash or by delivery of unencumbered Common Stock owned by the
non-employee director or a combination thereof or by such other method as
approved by the Board.
(d) OPTION TERM. Except as otherwise provided herein, if not
previously exercised each Option shall expire upon the tenth anniversary of the
date of the grant thereof.
9.5 TERMINATION OF DIRECTORSHIP. The following rules apply with regard
to Options upon the Termination of Directorship:
(a) DEATH, DISABILITY OR OTHERWISE CEASING TO BE A DIRECTOR
OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE. Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the Termination
of Directorship, on account of Disability, death, Retirement, resignation,
failure to stand for reelection or failure to be reelected or otherwise other
than as set forth in (b) below, all outstanding Options then exercisable and not
exercised by the Participant prior to such Termination of Directorship shall
remain exercisable, to the extent exercisable at the Termination of
Directorship, by the Participant or, in the case of death, by the Participant's
estate or by the person given authority to exercise such Options by his or her
will or by operation of law, for the remainder of the stated term of such
Options.
(b) CAUSE. Upon removal, failure to stand for reelection or
failure to be renominated for Cause, or if the Company obtains or discovers
information after Termination of Directorship that such Participant had engaged
in conduct that would have justified a removal for Cause during such
directorship, all outstanding Options of such Participant shall immediately
terminate and shall be null and void.
(c) CANCELLATION OF OPTIONS. No Options that were not
exercisable during the period such person serves as a director shall thereafter
become exercisable upon a Termination of Directorship for any reason or no
reason whatsoever, and such Options shall terminate and become null and void
upon a Termination of Directorship.
9.6 CHANGES. The Awards to a non-employee director shall be subject to
Sections 4.2(a), (b) and (c) of the Plan and this Section 9.6, but shall not be
subject to Section 4.2(d).
9.7 If the Company shall not be the surviving corporation in any merger
or consolidation, or if the Company is to be dissolved or liquidated, then,
unless the surviving corporation assumes the Options or substitutes new Options
which are determined by the Board in its sole discretion to be substantially
similar in nature and equivalent in terms and value for Options then
outstanding, upon the effective date of such merger, consolidation, liquidation
or dissolution, any unexercised Options shall expire without additional
compensation to the holder thereof; provided, that, the Committee shall deliver
notice to each non-employee director at least twenty (20) days prior to the date
of consummation of such merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation which
would result in the expiration of the Options and during the period from the
date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the
merger, consolidation, dissolution or liquidation, such Participant shall have
the right to exercise in full effective as of such consummation all Options that
are then outstanding (without regard to limitations on exercise otherwise
contained in the Options) but contingent on occurrence of the merger,
consolidation, dissolution or liquidation, and, provided that, if the
contemplated transaction does not take place within a ninety (90) day period
after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice,
21
accelerated vesting and exercise shall be null and void and, if and when
appropriate, new notice shall be given as aforesaid.
ARTICLE X
NON-TRANSFERABILITY
Except as provided in the last sentence of this Article X, no Stock
Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted to an Employee or Consultant shall be
Transferable by the Participant otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. All Stock Options and all Stock Appreciation Rights granted to
an Employee or Consultant shall be exercisable, during the Participant's
lifetime, only by the Participant. Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights shall be
Transferable, to the extent permitted above, only with the underlying Stock
Option. Shares of Restricted Stock under Article VII may not be Transferred
prior to the date on which shares are issued, or, if later, the date on which
any applicable restriction lapses. No Award shall, except as otherwise
specifically provided by law or herein, be Transferable in any manner, and any
attempt to Transfer any such Award shall be void, and no such Award shall in any
manner be liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities,
engagements or torts of any person who shall be entitled to such Award, nor
shall it be subject to attachment or legal process for or against such person.
All Stock Options granted to non-employee directors shall be Transferable solely
to such non-employee director's principal employer (other than the Company or an
Affiliate) at the time of grant if the terms of such non-employee director's
employment so require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may
determine at the time of grant or thereafter, that a Non-Qualified Stock Option
that is otherwise not transferable pursuant to this Article X is transferable in
whole or part and in such circumstances, and under such conditions, as specified
by the Committee.
ARTICLE XI
CHANGE IN CONTROL PROVISIONS
11.1 BENEFITS. In the event of a Change in Control of the Company (as
defined below), except as otherwise provided by the Committee upon the grant of
an Award, each Participant shall have the following benefits:
(a) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award
agreement, all outstanding Options and the related Tandem Stock Appreciation
Rights and Non-Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights of such Participant granted
prior to the Change in Control shall be fully vested and immediately exercisable
in their entirety. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide for the
purchase of any such Stock Options by the Company for an amount of cash equal to
the excess of the Change in Control Price (as defined below) of the shares of
Common Stock covered by such Stock Options, over the aggregate exercise price of
such Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 11.1, "Change in Control Price"
shall mean the higher of (i) the highest price per share of Common Stock paid in
any transaction related to a Change in Control of the Company, or (ii) the
highest Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock at any time during the sixty
(60) day period preceding a Change in Control.
(b) Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award
agreement, the restrictions to which any shares of Restricted Stock of such
Participant granted prior to the Change in Control are subject shall lapse as if
the applicable Restriction Period had ended upon such Change in Control.
(c) Notwithstanding anything else herein, the Committee may,
in its sole discretion, provide for accelerated vesting of an Award (other than
a grant to a non-employee director pursuant to
22
Article IX hereof), upon a Termination of Employment during the Pre-Change in
Control Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the "Pre-Change in
Control Period" shall mean the one hundred eighty (180) day period prior to a
Change in Control.
11.2 CHANGE IN CONTROL. A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have
occurred:
(a) upon any "person" as such term is used in Sections 13(d)
and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any trustee or other
fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, or
any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in
substantially the same proportions as their ownership of Common Stock of the
Company) becoming the owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act),
directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing forty percent
(40%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding
securities (including, without limitation, securities owned at the time of any
increase in ownership);
(b) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals
who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors, and any
new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into
an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in paragraph
(a), (c), or (d) of this section) or a director whose initial assumption of
office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as
such terms are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the
Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents
by or on behalf of a person other than the Board of Directors of the Company
whose election by the Board of Directors or nomination for election by the
Company's stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the
directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the
two-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so
approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of
Directors;
(c) upon the merger or consolidation of the Company with any
other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in
the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto
continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted
into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of
the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such
surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation;
provided, however, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a
recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person
(other than those covered by the exceptions in (a) above) acquires more than
forty percent (40%) of the combined voting power of the Company's then
outstanding securities shall not constitute a Change in Control of the Company;
or
(d) upon the stockholder's of the Company approval of a plan
of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
other than the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to
a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least fifty
percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting
securities of the Company at the time of the sale.

ARTICLE XII
TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN
12.1 TERMINATION OR AMENDMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Plan, the Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend, in whole or
in part, any or all of the provisions of the Plan, or suspend or terminate it
entirely, retroactively or otherwise; provided, however, that, unless otherwise
required by law or specifically provided herein, the rights of a Participant
with respect to Awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or
termination, may not be impaired without the consent of such Participant and,
provided further, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, if
and to the extent required by the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3 or, if and
to the extent required, under the applicable provisions of Section 162(m) of the
Code, or with regard to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code, no
amendment may be made which would (i) except as permitted in Section 4.1(a),
increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under
this Plan; (ii) increase the maximum individual Participant limitations for a
fiscal year under Section 4.1(b); (iii) change the classification of employees,
Consultants, and non-employee directors eligible to receive Awards under this
Plan; (iv) decrease the minimum option price of any Stock Option; (v) extend the
maximum option period under Section 6.3; (vi) change any rights under the Plan
with regard to non-employee directors; or (vii) require stockholder approval in
order for the Plan to continue to comply with the applicable provisions, if any,
of Rule 16b-3, Section 162(m) of the Code, any applicable state law, or, with
regard to Incentive Stock Options, Section 422 of the Code.
In no event may the Plan be amended without the approval of the
stockholders of the Company in accordance with the applicable laws or other
requirements to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may
be issued under the Plan, decrease the minimum option price of any Stock Option,
or to make any other amendment that would require stockholder approval under the
rules of any exchange or system on which the Company's securities are listed or
traded at the request of the Company.
The Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted,
prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to Article IV above or as otherwise
specifically provided herein, no such amendment or other action by the Committee
shall impair the rights of any holder without the holder's consent.
ARTICLE XIII
UNFUNDED PLAN
This Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive
compensation. With respect to any payments as to which a Participant has a fixed
and vested interest but which are 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.
ARTICLE XIV
GENERAL PROVISIONS
14.1 LEGEND. The Committee may require each person receiving shares
pursuant to an Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company
in writing that the Participant is acquiring the shares without a view to
distribution thereof. In addition to any legend required by this Plan, the
certificates for such shares may include any legend that the Committee deems
appropriate to reflect any restrictions on Transfer. All certificates for shares
of Common Stock delivered under the Plan
24
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 is then listed or any national securities association system upon
whose system the Common Stock is then quoted, any applicable federal or state
securities law, and any applicable corporate law, and the Committee may cause a
legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate
reference to such restrictions.
14.2 OTHER PLANS. Nothing contained in this 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.
14.3 NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT/DIRECTORSHIP. Neither this Plan nor the
grant of any Award hereunder shall give any Participant or other employee any
right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company or any Affiliate,
nor shall there be a limitation in any way on the right of the Company or any
Affiliate by which an employee is employed to terminate his employment at any
time. Neither this Plan nor the grant of any Award hereunder shall impose any
obligations on the Company to retain any Participant as a director nor shall it
impose on the part of any Participant any obligation to remain as a director of
the Company.
14.4 WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. The Company shall have the right to deduct
from any payment to be made to a Participant, or to otherwise require, prior to
the issuance or delivery of any shares of Common Stock or the payment of any
cash hereunder, payment by the Participant of, any Federal, state or local taxes
required by law to be withheld. Upon the vesting of Restricted Stock, or upon
making an election under Code Section 83(b), a Participant shall pay all
required withholding to the Company. The Committee may permit any such
withholding obligation with regard to any Participant to be satisfied by
reducing the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable or by
delivering shares of Common Stock already owned. Any fraction of a share of
Common Stock required to satisfy such tax obligations shall be disregarded and
the amount due shall be paid instead in cash by the Participant.
14.5 LISTING AND OTHER CONDITIONS.
(a) As long as the Common Stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin
Board or any other national securities exchange or system sponsored by a
national securities association, the issue of any shares of Common Stock
pursuant to an Award shall be conditioned upon such shares being listed on such
exchange or system. The Company shall have no obligation to issue such shares
unless and until such shares are so listed, and the right to exercise any Option
with respect to such shares shall be suspended until such listing has been
effected.
(b) If at any time counsel to the Company shall be of the
opinion that any sale or delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award
is or may in the circumstances be unlawful or result in the imposition of excise
taxes on the Company under the statutes, rules or regulations of any applicable
jurisdiction, the Company shall have no obligation to make such sale or
delivery, or to make any application or to effect or to maintain any
qualification or registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
otherwise with respect to shares of Common Stock or Awards, and the right to
25
exercise any Option shall be suspended until, in the opinion of said counsel,
such sale or delivery shall be lawful or will not result in the imposition of
excise taxes on the Company.
(c) Upon termination of any period of suspension under this
Section 14.5, any Award affected by such suspension which shall not then have
expired or terminated shall be reinstated as to all shares available before such
suspension and as to shares which would otherwise have become available during
the period of such suspension, but no such suspension shall extend the term of
any Option.
14.6 GOVERNING LAW. This Plan shall be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of the state of incorporation of the Company
(regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles
of conflict of laws).
14.7 CONSTRUCTION. Wherever any words are used in this Plan in the
masculine gender they shall be construed as though they were also used in the
feminine gender in all cases where they would so apply, and wherever any words
are used herein in the singular form they shall be construed as though they were
also used in the plural form in all cases where they would so apply. To the
extent applicable, the Plan shall be limited, construed and interpreted in a
manner so as to comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 16b-3 and
Section 162(m) of the Code; however, noncompliance with Rule 16b-3 or Section
162(m) of the Code shall have no impact on the effectiveness of a Stock Option
granted under the Plan.
14.8 OTHER BENEFITS. No Award payment under this Plan shall be deemed
compensation for purposes of computing benefits under any retirement plan of the
Company or its subsidiaries nor affect any benefits under any other benefit plan
now or subsequently in effect under which the availability or amount of benefits
is related to the level of compensation.
14.9 COSTS. The Company shall bear all expenses included in
administering this Plan, including expenses of issuing Common Stock pursuant to
any Awards hereunder.
14.10 NO RIGHT TO SAME BENEFITS. The provisions of Awards need not be
the same with respect to each Participant, and such Awards to individual
Participants need not be the same in subsequent years.
14.11 DEATH/DISABILITY. The Committee may in its discretion require the
transferee of a Participant to supply it with written notice of the
Participant's death or Disability and to supply it with a copy of the will (in
the case of the Participant's death) or such other evidence as the Committee
deems necessary to establish the validity of the transfer of an Award. The
Committee may also require the agreement of the transferee to be bound by all of
the terms and conditions of the Plan.
14.12 SECTION 16(b) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT. All elections and transactions
under the Plan by persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act involving
shares of Common Stock are intended to comply with any applicable condition
under Rule 16b-3. The Committee may establish and adopt written administrative
guidelines, designed to facilitate compliance with Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act, as it may deem necessary or proper for the administration and operation of
the Plan and the transaction of business thereunder.
26
14.13 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any provision of the Plan shall be
held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
affect any other provisions hereof, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced
as if such provisions had not been included.
14.14 HEADINGS AND CAPTIONS. The headings and captions herein are
provided for reference and convenience only, shall not be considered part of the
Plan, and shall not be employed in the construction of the Plan.
ARTICLE XV
TERM OF PLAN
No Award shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth
anniversary of the earlier of the date the Plan is adopted or the date of
stockholder approval, but Awards granted prior to such tenth anniversary may
extend beyond that date.
ARTICLE XVI

This Plan shall be known as the iGames Entertainment, Inc. Amended and
Restated 2003 Stock Incentive Plan.
ARTICLE XVII

Any communication or notice required or permitted to be given under the
Plan shall be in writing, and mailed by registered or certified mail or

time as the Stock Option Administrator, and if to the holder of an Option, to
