exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of the Sale of the Company.

immediately fully exercisable upon the grant thereof; provided, however, that it
shall be a condition to the exercise of any Exit Participation Option that the
Executive shall consent to any Approved Sale in respect of which such Options
are granted and shall waive, in writing, any dissenter or appraisal rights

(c) immediately following the consummation of a Sale of the
Company.
10. Adjustments.
(a) If at any time while this Plan is in effect or unexercised
Options are outstanding, there shall be any increase or decrease in the number
of issued and outstanding Shares through the declaration of a stock dividend or
through any recapitalization resulting in a stock split-up, combination or
exchange of Shares, then and in such event:
(i) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
maximum number of Shares available for grant under this Plan, so that
the same percentage of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares
shall continue to be subject to being so optioned and appropriate
adjustment shall be made in the Exercise Price Per Share; and
(ii) appropriate adjustment shall be made in the
number of Shares and the Exercise Price Per Share thereof then subject
to any outstanding Options, so that the same percentage of the
Company's issued and outstanding Shares shall remain subject to
purchase at the same aggregate exercise price.
(b) If, prior to the consummation of an Approved Sale, the
Board shall declare any dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock
(except by way of a stock dividend payable in Common Stock on the Common Stock),
then appropriate adjustment shall be made in the Exercise Price Per Share of all
unexercised Options issued or issuable hereunder so as to reflect the effect of
such dividend on the shareholders equity of the Company.
(c) The Board may change the terms of Options outstanding
under this Plan, with respect to the Exercise Price Per Share or the number of
Shares subject to the Options, or both, when, in the Board's discretion, such
adjustments become appropriate by reason of a significant corporate transaction
so as to preserve but not increase or decrease benefits under this Plan.
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the
issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of capital stock of any class, either in
connection with direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to
subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations of the Company
convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made to, the number of or exercise price
for Shares then subject to outstanding Options granted under this Plan.
(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
existence of outstanding Options granted under this Plan shall not affect in any
manner the right or power of the Company to make, authorize or consummate (i)
any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in
the Company's capital structure or its business; (ii) any merger or
consolidation of the Company; (iii) any issue by the Company of debt securities,
or preferred or preference stock that would rank above the Shares subject to
outstanding Options; (iv) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (v) any
sale, transfer or assignment of all or any part of the assets or business of the
Company; or (vi) any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar
character or otherwise.
11. Transferability of Options and Shares. Unless the Board's prior
written consent is obtained, no Option shall be subject to alienation,
assignment, pledge, hypothecation, charge or other transfer other than by the
Executive by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any attempt to
make any such prohibited transfer shall be void. Options shall not be subject,
in whole or in part, to execution, attachment, or similar process. Each Option
shall be exercisable during the Executive's lifetime only by the Executive.
12. Issuance of Shares.
82
6
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the
Company shall not be obligated to issue any Shares unless it is advised by
counsel of its selection that it may do so without violation of the applicable
federal and state laws pertaining to the issuance of securities, and may require
any stock so issued to bear a legend, may give its transfer agent instructions,
and may take such other steps, as in its judgment are reasonably required to
prevent any such violation.
(b) As a condition to any sale or issuance of Shares upon
exercise of any Option, the Board may require such agreements or undertakings as

applicable law or regulation including, but not limited to, the following:

and
(ii) a representation, warranty and/or agreement to
be bound by any legends endorsed upon the certificate(s) for such

MANAGEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR XXXX
Exit Participation Option Formula
A. If, with respect to an Approved Sale, both (i) the Pro Forma IRR is
less than 20%, and (ii) the Realized Exit Multiple is 4.0 or less, then
(subject to the provisions of P. D, below)Exit Participation Options
shall be granted with respect to a number of shares equal to the
greater number of Shares resulting from the following calculations:
(Pro Forma IRR ) 20%) x XXXX or (Realized Exit Multiple ) 4.0) x XXXX
B. If, with respect to an Approved Sale, either (i) the Pro Forma IRR is
20% or more but less than 40%, or (ii) the Realized Exit Multiple is
greater than 4.0 but less than 8.0, then (subject to the provisions of
P. D, below) Exit Participation Options shall be granted with respect
to a number of shares equal to the greater number of Shares resulting
from the following calculations:
Applicable Share Amount opposite next lowest IRR Hurdle below
Pro Forma IRR amount (see Table)
+
((Pro Forma IRR - such next lowest IRR Hurdle) ) 5%) x XXXX
or
Applicable Share Amount opposite next lowest Exit Multiple
Hurdle below Realized Exit Multiple (see Table)
+
((Realized Exit Multiple - such next lowest Exit Multiple
Hurdle) ) 1.0) x XXXX
IRR Hurdle Exit Multiple Hurdle Applicable Share Amount
------------------------------ ---------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
20% 4.0 XXXX
------------------------------ ---------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
25% 5.0 XXXX
------------------------------ ---------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
30% 6.0 XXXX
------------------------------ ---------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
35% 7.0 XXXX
------------------------------ ---------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
40% 8.0 XXXX
------------------------------ ---------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
C. If, with respect to an Approved Sale, either (i) the Pro Forma IRR is
40% or more, or (ii) the Realized Exit Multiple greater than 8.0, then
(subject to the provisions of P. D, below) Exit Participation Options
shall be granted with respect to XXXX Shares.
D. For purposes of P. A, P. B and P. C above, if the Approved Sale is not
a Sale of the Company, then the Exit Participation Options shall be
granted proportionately (i.e., the number of shares subject to Exit
Participation Options calculated before application of this P. D shall
be multiplied by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be number
of Shares sold by the Lead Investors in such Approved Sale, and (ii)
the denominator of which shall be the total number of Shares held by
the Lead Investors immediately prior to such Approved Sale).
86
10
EXAMPLE:
Assume that the Lead Investors hold, in the aggregate, 30,000 Shares
and that they sell 15,000 Shares in an Approved Sale. Assume further
that the Pro Forma IRR achieved with respect to such Approved Sale is
38% and that the Realized Exit Multiple is 6.0. Based on the table, a
larger Applicable Share Amount corresponds to Pro Forma IRR than to the
Realized Exit Multiple. Accordingly, the Executive will be granted
4,100 Exit Participation Options in connection with such Approved Sale,
calculated as follows:
Next Lowest IRR Hurdle: 35%
Applicable Share Amount
Opposite Next Lowest IRR Hurdle: 7,000
Calculation: ((38% - 35%) ) 5%) x 2,000 = 1,200
Exit Participation Options: 7,000 + 1,200 = 8,200
Proportionate Reduction: 2 of Lead Investors= Shares sold;
therefore 4,100 Exit
Participation Options granted
