the CEO (or delegated by the CEO) shall likewise be exercisable at any time by
the Board.
SECTION 4. Shares Subject to the Plan.
4.01 An aggregate number of Shares is hereby made available and is
reserved for delivery on account of the exercise of Replacement Options equal to
the number of Shares determined pursuant to the formulas set forth in Section
6.02 to be required to replace ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Options held by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantees as of
the Merger Date; provided that, subject to adjustment as provided in Section
8.01 hereof, the total number of Shares reserved and available for distribution
under the Plan shall not exceed 2,200,000 Shares.
Any Shares distributed pursuant to a Replacement Option may consist, in
whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Shares or of treasury Shares,
including Shares repurchased by the Company for purposes of the Plan; provided,
however, that if, at the time Shares are to be distributed under the Plan to a
Participant (including upon exercise of a Replacement Option), the Shares are
listed on the New York Stock Exchange and such Participant is a "director" or
"officer" of the Company within the meaning of Sections 312.03 and 703.09 of the
Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange, such that the
Participant's acquisition of Stock originally issued by the Company would be
subject to the requirement of stockholder
4
5
approval under applicable Exchange rules, the Shares to be distributed to such
Participant shall consist only of treasury Shares then held by the Company. The
Company shall use its best efforts to obtain and have available, at any time
that the such treasury Shares are required to be distributed in connection with
a Replacement Option, a sufficient number of treasury Shares, not reserved for
other uses, to be able to make prompt delivery in connection with any such
Replacement Option.
SECTION 5. Eligibility.
5.01 Replacement Options may be granted only to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantees.
SECTION 6. Specific Terms of Replacement Options.
6.01 General. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable
Replacement Option Agreement, Replacement Options shall be granted as provided
in this Section 6 to replace and in substitution for those opportunities and
benefits (under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plans) of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantees. Immediately prior to
such grant, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option it replaces shall terminate and be of no further
effect.
6.02 Replacement Options. Effective as of immediately after the Merger
Date, the CEO shall grant Replacement Options to each ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantee, on the
following terms and conditions:
(i) Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share of a Replacement
Option shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the exercise
price per share under the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option it replaces by 1.767,
with such quotient rounded up to the nearest one-tenth of one
cent, as determined by the CEO.
(ii) Number of Shares. The number of Shares subject to the
Replacement Option shall be the product of the number of
shares of common stock of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Resources Corporation, par
value $0.01 per share subject to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option it
replaces, multiplied by 1.767, with such product rounded to
the nearest full share, or if there shall not be a nearest
share, the next greater full share, as determined by the CEO.
(iii) Replacement Option Terms. Each Replacement Option shall have
substantially the same terms and conditions as the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Option it replaces (other than the exercise price and the
number of shares and the fact that it is exercisable for
Shares, but including but not limited to the remaining option
term, vesting, (including, if applicable, accelerated
vesting), conditions of exercisability), employment
requirements, directorship requirement, requirements for
acknowledgements and warranties from the Participant, sale
restrictions on the Shares, and the methods of and limits on
exercise of the Replacement Option), and not give the
Participant any additional benefits he or she did not have,
under the corresponding ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option, as determined by the
CEO. Subject to the foregoing, the CEO shall determine the
time or times at which a Replacement Option may be exercised,
the methods by which such exercise price may be paid or deemed
to be paid, and the permitted form of such payment.
5
6
(iv) Grant of Replacement Incentive Stock Options. At the time of
the grant of any Replacement Option, the CEO shall, if such
Replacement Option replaces an incentive stock option granted
under a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Plan ("ISO Replacement Option"), designate
that such Replacement Option shall be made subject to
additional restrictions to permit it to qualify insofar as
reasonably possible as an "incentive stock option" under the
requirements of Section 422 of the Code.
SECTION 7. General Terms of Replacement Options.
7.01 Limits on Transfer of Replacement Options, Beneficiaries. No right
or interest of a Participant in, or relating to, any Replacement Option shall be
pledged, encumbered or hypothecated to or in favor of any Person other than the
Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation or
liability of such Participant to any Person other than the Company or an
Affiliate. Unless otherwise determined by the CEO or permitted under the
relevant ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Option, (consistent with Section 422 of the Code and the
requirements for registration of offers and sales of Shares under the Plan with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on a registration statement on Form S-8,
as then in effect, or such other such registration form as may then be
available), no Replacement Option shall be assignable or transferable by a
Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution;
provided, however, that, if so determined by the CEO, a Participant may, in the
manner established by the CEO, designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to
exercise the rights of the Participant upon the death of the Participant. A
beneficiary, guardian, legal representative or other Person claiming any rights
under the Plan from or through any Participant shall be subject to all the terms
and conditions of the Plan and any Replacement Option Agreement applicable to
such Participant as well as any additional restrictions or limitations deemed
necessary or appropriate by the CEO. An ISO Replacement Option shall be
exercisable by the guardian, legal representative, beneficiary or other Person
only if a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel is
obtained to the effect that neither the grant nor the exercise of such power is
violative of Section 422 of the Code. Any opinion of counsel must be acceptable
to the CEO both with respect to the counsel rendering the opinion and with
respect to the form of opinion.
7.02 Registration and Listing Compliance. The Company shall have no
obligation to make any payment or distribute Shares with respect to any
Replacement Option in a transaction subject to the registration requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws or subject
to a listing requirement under any listing agreement between the Company and any
national securities exchange, and no Replacement Option shall confer upon any
Participant any rights to such delivery or distribution, until such laws and
contractual obligations of the Company have been complied within all material
respects. The Company shall have no obligation to register Shares or the resale
of the Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, and in the absence of such
registration the Shares may not be sold unless they are subject to an exemption
from registration from the Security Act of 1933.
7.03 Stock Certificates. All certificates for Shares delivered under
the terms of the Plan shall be subject to such stop-transfer orders and other
restrictions as the CEO may deem advisable under federal or state securities
laws, rules and regulations thereunder, and the rules of any national securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which Shares are listed or quoted. The
CEO may cause a legend or legends to be placed on any such certificates to make
6
7
appropriate reference to such restrictions or any other restrictions or
limitations that may be applicable to Shares. In addition, during any period in
which Replacement Options or Shares are subject to restrictions or limitations
under the terms of the Plan or any Replacement Option Agreement, or during any
period during which delivery or receipt of a Replacement Option or Shares has
been deferred by the CEO or a Participant, the CEO may require any Participant
to enter into an agreement providing that certificates representing Shares
issuable or issued pursuant to a Replacement Option shall remain in the physical
custody of the Company or such other Person as the CEO may designate.
SECTION 8. Adjustment Provisions.
8.01 In the event that the CEO shall determine that any dividend or
other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities or
other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split,
reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination,
repurchase, exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other
similar corporate transactions or event affects the Shares such that an
adjustment is determined by the CEO to be appropriate in order to prevent
dilution or enlargement of Participants' rights under the Plan, then the CEO
shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the
number and kind of Shares which may thereafter be issued in connection with
Replacement Options; (ii) the number and kind of Shares issued or issuable in
respect of outstanding Replacement Options; and (iii) the exercise price, ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇ or purchase price relating to any Replacement Option or, if deemed
appropriate, make provisions for a cash payment with respect to any outstanding
Replacement Option. In addition, the CEO is authorized to make adjustments in
the terms and conditions of, and the criteria in, Replacement Options in
recognition of unusual or nonrecurring event (including, without limitation,
events described in the preceding sentence) affecting the Company or any
Affiliate or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or in
response to changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles.
SECTION 9. Amendments to and Termination of the Plan.
9.01 The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the
Plan without the consent of stockholders or Participants; provided, however,
that, without the consent of a Participant, no amendment, alteration,
suspension, discontinuation or termination of the Plan may materially and
adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any Replacement Option
theretofore granted to him. The CEO may waive any conditions or rights under,
amend any terms of, or amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any
Replacement Option theretofore granted, prospectively or retrospectively;
provided, however, that, without the consent of a Participant, no amendment,
alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination of any Replacement Option
may materially and adversely affect the rights of such Participant under any
Replacement Option theretofore granted to him.
Unless earlier terminated by the Board, the Plan shall terminate on the
earlier of (1) the tenth (10th) anniversary of the effective date (set forth in
Section 11.01) or (2) when no Shares remain reserved and available for issuance
and the Company has no further obligation with respect to any Replacement Option
granted under the Plan.

SECTION 10. General Provisions.
10.01 No Rights to Replacement Options; No Stockholder Rights. Except
as set forth in the Merger Agreement or in Section 6.02 of the Plan, no ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Grantee, Participant, director, or employee shall have any claim to be granted
any Replacement Option under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity
of treatment of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantees, Participants, directors and employees, except
as provided in any other compensation arrangement. No Replacement Option shall
confer on any Participant any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company
unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such Participant in connection
with such Replacement Option.
10.02 Withholding. The Company or any Affiliate is authorized to
withhold from any Replacement Option granted or any payment due under the Plan,
including from a distribution of Shares, amounts of withholding taxes due with
respect to a Replacement Option, its exercise or any payment thereunder, and to
take such other action as the CEO may deem necessary or advisable to enable the
Company and Participants to satisfy obligations for the payment of such taxes.
This authority shall include authority to withhold or receive Shares,
Replacement Options or other property and to make cash payments in respect
thereof in satisfaction of such tax obligations. In no event shall the
repurchase of Shares for tax withholding exceed the number required to satisfy
the employer's minimum statutory withholding requirements.
10.03 No Right to Employment. Nothing contained in the Plan or any
Replacement Option Agreement shall confer, and no grant of a Replacement Option
shall be construed as conferring, upon any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Grantee Participant any
right continue in the service of the Company or any Affiliate or to interfere in
any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate his
employment at any time or increase or decrease his compensation from the rate in
existence at the time of granting of a Replacement Option, except as provided in
any other compensation arrangement.
10.04 Unfunded Status of Replacement Options; Creation of Trusts. The
Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive and deferred
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant
pursuant to a Replacement Option, nothing contained in the Plan or any
Replacement Option shall give any such Participant any rights that are greater
than those of a general creditor of the Company; provided, however, that the CEO
may authorize the creation of trusts or make other arrangements to meet the
Company's obligations under the Plan to deliver cash, Shares or other property
pursuant to any Replacement Option; which trusts or other arrangements shall be
consistent with the "unfunded" status of the Plan unless the CEO otherwise
determines.
10.05 No Limit on Other Compensatory Arrangements. Nothing contained in
the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting other or
additional compensation arrangements (which relate to Replacement Options under
the Plan), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or
applicable only in specific cases. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the
contrary, the terms of each Replacement Option shall be construed so as to be
consistent with such other arrangements in effect at the time of the Replacement
Option.
10.06 No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or
delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Replacement Option. The CEO shall
determine whether cash, other
8
9
Replacement Options or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of
fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise
eliminated.
10.07 Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and
effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to the conflicts
of laws thereof), and applicable federal law.
10.08 Severability. If any provision of the Plan is or becomes or is
deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would
disqualify the Plan or any Replacement Option under any law deemed applicable by
the CEO, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
applicable laws or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the
determination of the CEO, materially altering the intent of the Plan, it shall
be deleted and the remainder of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect;
provided, however, that, unless otherwise determined by the CEO, the provision
shall not be construed or deemed amended or deleted with respect to any
Participant whose rights and obligations under the Plan are not subject to the
law of such jurisdiction or the law deemed applicable by the CEO.
SECTION 11. Effective Date.
11.01 The Plan was approved by the Board on July 22, 2001 and became
effective on that date.
