ACTIVISION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
For the three months ended June 30, 2002

1.    Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Activision, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Activision" or "we"). The information furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to provide a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported working capital or results of operations.

2.    Stock Split

        In October 2001, the Board of Directors approved a three-for-two stock split effected in the form of a 50% stock dividend. The stock split was paid at the close of business on November 20, 2001, to shareholders of record as of November 6, 2001. The consolidated financial statements, including all share and per share data, have been restated as if the stock split had occurred as of the earliest period presented.

3.    Acquisition

        Effective May 20, 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests of Z-Axis Ltd. ("Z-Axis"), a privately held interactive software development company, in exchange for $12.5 million in cash and 249,190 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $8.2 million. Z-Axis is a console software developer with a focus on action sports video games. This acquisition further enables us to implement our multi-platform development strategy by augmenting our internal product development capabilities for console systems and enhances our position in the action sports genre. The purchase price of the transaction, including acquisition costs, was valued at approximately $20.9 million and has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows (amounts in thousands):

        Goodwill has been included in the publishing segment of our business and is non-deductible for tax purposes. A significant portion of the purchase price for this acquisition was assigned to goodwill as the primary asset we acquired in the transaction was an assembled workforce with proven technical and design talent with a history of high quality product creation. The results of operations of Z-Axis are included in our consolidated statement of operations beginning May 20, 2002. Pro forma consolidated statements of operations are not shown, as they would not differ materially from reported results.

        Approximately 93,000 additional shares of our common stock also may be issued to Z-Axis' equity holders over the course of several years, depending on the satisfaction of certain product performance requirements and other criteria. This contingent consideration will be recorded as an additional element of the purchase price for Z-Axis when those contingencies are resolved.

4.    Inventories

        Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Our inventories consist of the following (amounts in thousands):

5.    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill

        The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the three months ended June 30, 2002 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Acquired Intangible Assets

        As of June 30, 2002, gross acquired intangible assets were $2.2 million and were the result of the acquisition of software development and royalty agreements. Such assets had yet to be amortized as of June 30, 2002 as the related titles had not been released and/or no revenues had been earned on such titles. All gross acquired intangible assets as of June 30, 2002 are expected to be expensed during the year ended March 31, 2003.

6.    Income Taxes

        The income tax provision of $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 reflects our effective income tax rate of approximately 36%. The income tax provision of $17,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 reflects our effective income tax rate of approximately 37%. For both periods, the significant item that generated the variance between our effective rate and our statutory rate of 35% was state taxes, partially offset by research and development tax credits.

7.    Software Development Costs and Intellectual Property Licenses

        Software development costs include payments made to independent software developers under development agreements, as well as direct costs incurred for internally developed products.

        We account for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed." Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable. For products where proven game engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Prior to a product's release, we expense, as part of product development costs, capitalized costs when we believe such amounts are not recoverable. Amounts related to software development which are not capitalized are charged immediately to product development expense.

8

---

        We evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The following criteria are used to evaluate recoverability of software development costs: historical performance of comparable products; the commercial acceptance of prior products released on a given game engine; orders for the product prior to its release; estimated performance of a sequel product based on the performance of the product on which the sequel is based; and actual development costs of a product as compared to our budgeted amount.

        Commencing upon product release, capitalized software development costs are amortized to cost of sales—software royalties and amortization based on the ratio of current revenues to total projected revenues, generally resulting in an amortization period of six months or less. For products that have been released in prior periods, we evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The primary evaluation criterion is actual title performance.

        Intellectual property license costs represent license fees paid to intellectual property rights holders for use of their trademarks or copyrights in the development of our products.

        We evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized intellectual property licenses on a quarterly basis. The recoverability of capitalized intellectual property license costs is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products in which the licensed trademark or copyright is used. The following criteria are used to evaluate expected product performance: historical performance of comparable products; the commercial acceptance of prior products released on a given game engine; orders for the product prior to its release; estimated performance of a sequel product based on the performance of the product on which the sequel is based; and actual development costs of a product as compared to our budgeted amount.

        Commencing upon the related product's release, capitalized intellectual property license costs are amortized to cost of sales—intellectual property licenses based on the ratio of current revenues for the specific product to total projected revenues for all products in which the licensed trademark or copyright will be utilized. As intellectual property license contracts may extend for multiple years, the amortization of capitalized intellectual property license costs relating to such contracts may extend beyond one year. For products that have been released, we evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The primary evaluation criterion is actual title performance.

        As of June 30, 2002, capitalized software development costs included $18.3 million of internally developed software costs and $32.1 million of payments made to independent software developers. As of March 31, 2002, capitalized software development costs included $16.0 million of internally developed software costs and $23.5 million of payments made to independent software developers. Capitalized intellectual property licenses were $21.0 million and $17.2 million as of June 30, 2002 and March 31, 2002, respectively. Amortization of capitalized software development costs and intellectual property licenses, combined, was $18.5 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

8.    Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

        For the three months ended June 30, 2002, the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance primarily consisted of foreign currency translation adjustments.

9.    Revenue Recognition

        We recognize revenue from the sale of our products upon the transfer of title and risk of loss to our customers. We may permit product returns from or grant price protection to our customers on unsold merchandise under certain conditions. Price protection policies, when granted and applicable, allow customers a credit against amounts they owe us with respect to merchandise unsold by them. With respect to license agreements that provide customers the right to make multiple copies in exchange for guaranteed amounts, revenue is recognized upon delivery of such copies. Per copy royalties on sales that exceed the guarantee are recognized as earned. In addition, in order to recognize

9

---

revenue for both product sales and licensing transactions, persuasive evidence of an arrangement must exist and collection of the related receivable must be probable.

        Revenue from product sales is reflected after deducting the estimated allowance for returns and price protection. Management must make estimates of potential future product returns and price protection related to current period product revenue. We estimate the amount of future returns and price protection based upon historical experience, customer inventory levels, current economic trends and changes in the demand and acceptance of our products by the end consumer.

10.  Interest Income, Net

        Interest income, net is comprised of the following (amounts in thousands):

11.  Supplemental Cash Flow Information

        Non-cash investing and financing activities and supplemental cash flow information is as follows (amounts in thousands):

12.  Operations by Reportable Segments and Geographic Area

        Based upon our organizational structure, we operate two business segments: (i) publishing of interactive entertainment software and (ii) distribution of interactive entertainment software and hardware products.

        Publishing refers to the development, marketing and sale of products, either directly, by license or through our affiliate label program with third party publishers. In the United States, our products are sold primarily on a direct basis to mass-market retailers, consumer electronics stores, discount warehouses and office super-stores. We conduct our international publishing activities through offices in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Sweden, Canada and Japan. Our products are sold internationally on a direct to retail basis, through third party distribution and licensing arrangements and through our wholly-owned European distribution subsidiaries.

        Distribution refers to our European operations located in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany that provide logistical and sales services to third party publishers of interactive

10

---

entertainment software, our own publishing operations and manufacturers of interactive entertainment hardware.

        Resources are allocated to each of these segments using information on their respective net revenues and operating profits before interest and taxes. The segments are not evaluated based on assets or depreciation.

        The accounting policies of these segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002. Revenue derived from sales between segments is eliminated in consolidation.

        Information on the reportable segments for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is as follows (amounts in thousands):

       

        Geographic information for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is based on the location of the selling entity. Revenues from external customers by geographic region were as follows (amounts in thousands):

11

---

        Revenues by platform were as follows (amounts in thousands):

        As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2002, we had one customer that accounted for 17% of our consolidated net revenues and 27% of our consolidated accounts receivable, net. As of and for the three months ended June 30, 2001, that same customer accounted for 15% of our consolidated net revenues and 22% of our consolidated accounts receivable, net. This customer was a customer of both our publishing and distribution businesses.

13.  Computation of Earnings Per Share

        The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

        Options to purchase 15,353 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $28.34 to $33.24 and options to purchase 7,920 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $19.66 to $25.27 were outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, but were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would be antidilutive.

14.  Commitments

Bank Lines of Credit

        In June 1999, we obtained a $100.0 million revolving credit facility and a $25.0 million term loan with a syndicate of banks (the "U.S. Facility"). The revolving portion of the U.S. Facility provided us with the ability to borrow up to $100.0 million, including issuing letters of credit up to $80 million, on a

12

---

revolving basis against eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The term loan had a three-year term with principal amortization on a straight-line quarterly basis beginning December 31, 1999, a borrowing rate based on the banks' base rate (which is generally equivalent to the published prime rate) plus 2% or LIBOR plus 3% and was to expire June 2002. The revolving portion of the U.S Facility had a borrowing rate based on the banks' base rate plus 1.75% or LIBOR plus 2.75%. In May 2001, we accelerated our repayment of the outstanding balance under the term loan portion of the U.S. Facility. In connection with the accelerated repayment, we amended the U.S. Facility (the "Amended and Restated U.S. Facility"). The Amended and Restated U.S. Facility eliminated the term loan, reduced the revolver to $78.0 million and reduced the interest rate to the banks' base rate plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 2.25%. We pay a commitment fee of ¹/4% on the unused portion of the revolver. The Amended and Restated U.S. Facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets and was scheduled to expire in June 2002. However, in June 2002, we obtained an extension of the expiration date to August 21, 2002. Due to our improved financial position, including significant cash balances and minimal debt, we will not seek additional bank financing upon the expiration of the Amended and Restated U.S. Facility.

        The Amended and Restated U.S. Facility contains various covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, create certain liens, sell assets, or enter into certain mergers or acquisitions. We are also required to maintain specified financial ratios related to net worth and fixed charges. As of June 30, 2002, we were in compliance with these covenants. As of June 30, 2002, there were no borrowings outstanding and $1.8 million of letters of credit outstanding against the revolving portion of the Amended and Restated U.S. Facility.

        We have a revolving credit facility through our CD Contact subsidiary in the Netherlands (the "Netherlands Facility"). The Netherlands Facility permitted revolving credit loans and letters of credit up to Euro ("EUR") 4.5 million ($4.5 million) as of June 30, 2002, based upon eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances. The Netherlands Facility is due on demand, bears interest at a Eurocurrency rate plus 1.5%, is collateralized by a British Pounds ("GBP") 1.5 million ($2.3 million) guarantee made by our Centresoft subsidiary through its bank facility and expires August 2003. As of June 30, 2002, there was $962,000 of borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the Netherlands Facility.

        We also have revolving credit facilities with our CentreSoft subsidiary located in the United Kingdom (the "UK Facility") and our NBG subsidiary located in Germany (the "German Facility"). As of June 30, 2002, the UK Facility provided Centresoft with the ability to borrow up to GBP 7.0 million ($10.7 million), including issuing letters of credit, on a revolving basis. Furthermore, as of June 30, 2002, under the UK Facility, Centresoft has provided a GBP 1.5 million ($2.3 million) guarantee which serves as collateral for the Netherlands Facility. The UK Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 2%, is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary and expires in October 2002. The UK Facility also contains various covenants that require the subsidiary to maintain specified financial ratios related to, among others, fixed charges. As of June 30, 2002, we were in compliance with these covenants. No borrowings were outstanding against the UK Facility at June 30, 2002. The German Facility provided for revolving loans up to EUR 2.0 million ($2.0 million) as of June 30, 2002, bears interest at a Eurocurrency rate plus 2.5%, is collateralized by a cash deposit of approximately GBP 732,000 ($1.1 million) made by our CentreSoft subsidiary and has no expiration date. No borrowings were outstanding against the German Facility as of June 30, 2002.

Private Placement of Convertible Subordinated Notes

        In December 1997, we completed the private placement of $60.0 million principal amount of 6³/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2005 (the "Notes"). The Notes were convertible, in whole or in part, at the option of the holder at any time after December 22, 1997 (the date of original issuance) and prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, unless previously redeemed or repurchased, into our common stock at a conversion price of $12.583 per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. During the three months ended June 30, 2001, we called

13

for the redemption of the Notes. In connection with that call, holders converted to common stock approximately $58.7 million aggregate principal amount of their Notes, net of conversion costs. The remaining Notes were redeemed for cash.

Software Developer and Intellectual Property License Contracts

        In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements with third parties for the development of products, as well as for the rights to intellectual property ("IP"). Under these agreements, we commit to provide specified payments to a developer or IP holder, based upon contractual arrangements. Assuming all contractual provisions are met, the total future minimum contract commitment for contracts in place as of June 30, 2002 is approximately $74.9 million and is scheduled to be paid as follows (amounts in thousands):

Legal Proceedings

        We are party to routine claims and suits brought against us in the ordinary course of business, including disputes arising over the ownership of intellectual property rights and collection matters. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such routine claims will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

15.  Related Parties

        As of June 30, 2002, we had a $419,000 loan, including accrued interest, due from an executive which bore interest at 6.75%. The loan has subsequently been repaid.

        In August 2001, we elected to our Board of Directors an individual who is a partner in a law firm that has provided legal services to Activision for more than ten years. We paid approximately $325,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2002 for legal services rendered by the law firm.

16.  Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue ("EITF") No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be initially measured at fair value and recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the Company's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are required to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

        We are a leading international publisher of interactive entertainment software products. We have built a company with a diverse portfolio of products that spans a wide range of categories and target markets and that is used on a variety of game hardware platforms and operating systems. We have created, licensed and acquired a group of highly recognizable brands which we market to a growing variety of consumer demographics.

        Our products cover the action/adventure, action sports, racing, role-playing, simulation, first-person shooters and strategy game categories. Historically, we have offered our products in versions that operate on the Sony PlayStation ("PS1"), Sony PlayStation 2 ("PS2"), Nintendo 64 ("N64"), Nintendo GameCube ("GameCube") and Microsoft Xbox ("Xbox") console systems, Nintendo Game Boy Advance ("GBA") and Game Boy Color ("GBC") handheld devices, as well as on personal computers ("PC").

        Our publishing business involves the development, marketing and sale of products, either directly, by license or through our affiliate label program with third party publishers. In the United States, our products are sold primarily on a direct basis to mass-market retailers, consumer electronics stores, discount warehouses and office super-stores. We conduct our international publishing activities through offices in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Sweden, Canada and Japan. Our products are sold internationally on a direct to retail basis, through third party distribution and licensing arrangements and through our wholly-owned European distribution subsidiaries. In addition to publishing, we maintain distribution operations located in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Germany that provide logistical and sales services to third party publishers of interactive entertainment software, our own publishing operations and manufacturers of interactive entertainment hardware.

        Our profitability is directly affected by the mix of revenues from our publishing and distribution segments. Publishing operating margins are substantially higher than margins realized from our distribution segment. Operating margins in our distribution segment are also affected by the mix of hardware and software sales, with software producing higher margins than hardware.

        In July 2002, we extended our partnership with professional skate-boarder, Tony Hawk, through an exclusive multi-year licensing agreement that expires in 2015. The continuation of our long-term relationship with Tony Hawk is part of our strategy to continue to be a leader in the action sports category. Activision O₂, our action sports umbrella brand, has featured such franchises as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX and Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder.    We will continue to promote our action sports franchises throughout fiscal 2003 with the expected release of several titles for existing franchises, including Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 and Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX 2, as well as several new action sports titles, including Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer and Shaun Murray's Pro Wakeboarder. We also plan to continue to focus on our super hero brands. Spider-Man: The Movie was a key release for the first quarter of fiscal 2003. Additional super hero titles expected to be released in fiscal 2003 include Blade II and X-Men Next Dimension. Additionally, we will continue to focus on our other key brands. We will also continue to evaluate emerging brands that we believe have potential for growth. A significant number of our fiscal 2003 releases will be cross-platform releases as we believe this provides us with many benefits with regards to sales and consumer awareness, as well as savings in our cost structures. We believe fiscal 2003 will be a strong growth year for our industry as the installed hardware bases for PS2, GameCube, Xbox and GBA continue to increase and as technological advances are made, enabling the interactive entertainment industry to continue to reach a broader audience.

Critical Accounting Policies

        We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

15

---

Results of Operations where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2002 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Revenue Recognition.    We recognize revenue from the sale of our products upon the transfer of title and risk of loss to our customers. Revenue from product sales is recognized after deducting the estimated allowance for returns and price protection. We may permit product returns from or grant price protection to our customers on unsold merchandise under certain conditions. Price protection policies, when granted and applicable, allow customers a credit against amounts they owe us with respect to merchandise unsold by them. With respect to license agreements that provide customers the right to make multiple copies in exchange for guaranteed amounts, revenue is recognized upon delivery of such copies. Per copy royalties on sales that exceed the guarantee are recognized as earned. In addition, in order to recognize revenue for both product sales and licensing transactions, persuasive evidence of an arrangement must exist and collection of the related receivable must be probable. Revenue recognition also determines the timing of certain expenses, including cost of sales—intellectual property licenses and cost of sales—software royalties and amortization.

        Allowances for Returns, Price Protection, Doubtful Accounts and Inventory Obsolescence.    We may permit product returns from or grant price protection to our customers under certain conditions.    The conditions our customers must meet to be granted the right to return products or price protection are, among other things, compliance with applicable payment terms, delivery to us of weekly inventory and sell-through reports, and consistent participation in the launches of our premium title releases. We may also consider other factors, including the facilitation of slow moving inventory and other market factors. Management must make estimates of potential future product returns and price protection related to current period product revenue. We estimate the amount of future returns and price protection based upon historical experience, customer inventory levels, current economic trends and changes in the demand and acceptance of our products by the end consumer. Significant management judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing the allowance for returns and price protection in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.

        Similarly, management must make estimates of the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable. In estimating allowance for doubtful accounts, we analyze historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customers' payment terms and their economic condition, as well as whether we can obtain sufficient credit insurance. Any significant changes in any of these criteria would impact management's estimates in establishing our allowance for doubtful accounts.

        We value inventory at the lower of cost or market. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and in the retail channel and record a provision for excess or obsolete inventory based on the future expected demand for our products. Significant changes in demand for our products would impact management's estimates in establishing our inventory provision.

        Software Development Costs.    Software development costs include payments made to independent software developers under development agreements, as well as direct costs incurred for internally developed products.

        We account for software development costs in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased, or

16

---

Otherwise Marketed." Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and such costs are determined to be recoverable. For products where proven game engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Prior to a product's release, we expense, as part of product development costs, capitalized costs when we believe such amounts are not recoverable. Amounts related to software development which are not capitalized are charged immediately to product development expense.

        We evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The following criteria are used to evaluate recoverability of software development costs: historical performance of comparable products; the commercial acceptance of prior products released on a given game engine; orders for the product prior to its release; estimated performance of a sequel product based on the performance of the product on which the sequel is based; and actual development costs of a product as compared to our budgeted amount.

        Commencing upon product release, capitalized software development costs are amortized to cost of sales—software royalties and amortization based on the ratio of current revenues to total projected revenues, generally resulting in an amortization period of six months or less. For products that have been released in prior periods, we evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The primary evaluation criterion is actual title performance.

        Significant management judgment and estimates are utilized in the assessment of when technological feasibility is established, as well as in the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of capitalized costs.

        Intellectual Property Licenses.    Intellectual property license costs represent license fees paid to intellectual property rights holders for use of their trademarks or copyrights in the development of our products.

        We evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The recoverability of capitalized intellectual property license costs is evaluated based on the expected performance of the specific products in which the licensed trademark or copyright is used. The following criteria are used to evaluate expected product performance: historical performance of comparable products; the commercial acceptance of prior products released on a given game engine; orders for the product prior to its release; estimated performance of a sequel product based on the performance of the product on which the sequel is based; and actual development costs of a product as compared to our budgeted amount.

        Commencing upon the related product's release, capitalized intellectual property license costs are amortized to cost of sales—intellectual property licenses based on the ratio of current revenues for the specific product to total projected revenues for all products in which the licensed trademark or copyright will be utilized. As intellectual property license contracts may extend for multiple years, the amortization of capitalized intellectual property license costs relating to such contracts may extend beyond one year. For products that have been released, we evaluate the future recoverability of capitalized amounts on a quarterly basis. The primary evaluation criterion is actual title performance.

        Significant management judgment and estimates are utilized in the assessment of the recoverability of capitalized costs.

        The following table sets forth certain consolidated statements of operations data for the periods indicated as a percentage of total net revenues and also breaks down net revenues by territory and platform, as well as operating income (loss) by business segment (amounts in thousands):

18

---

Results of Operations—Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001

Net Revenues

        Net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased 73% over the prior year period, from $110.6 million to $191.3 million. Increases were reported in both our publishing and distribution segments.

        Publishing net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased 85% from $82.8 million to $153.1 million. The increase in publishing net revenues was primarily attributable to the simultaneous cross-platform, multi-national release during the three months ended June 30, 2002 of Spider-Man: The Movie. In the three months ended June 30, 2002, 65% of our worldwide publishing net revenues were derived from the Spider-Man brand. Publishing console net revenues increased 253% from $32.4 million to $114.2 million due to the release of Spider-Man: The Movie as noted above. Publishing PC net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 also increased when compared to the prior year period, increasing 108% from $13.6 million to $28.3 million. The increase in publishing PC net revenues reflects the PC release during the three months ended June 30, 2002 of Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix, as well as Spider-Man: The Movie, both of which performed very well in both the domestic and international marketplaces. Publishing handheld net revenues decreased 71% from $36.9 million to $10.7 million. This decrease reflects the fact that the Nintendo Game Boy Advance hardware was launched in June 2001. Our GBA sales for the three months ended June 30, 2001 benefited from the related hardware launch, which drove GBA sales. As described above, a significant portion of our publishing net revenues is derived from products based on a relatively small number of popular brands each year. We expect that a limited number of popular brands will continue to produce a disproportionately large amount of our net revenues.

        Distribution net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased 37% from the prior year period, from $27.7 million to $38.1 million, primarily driven by an increase in our distribution console net revenues. Distribution console net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased 68% over the prior year period, from $17.9 million to $30.1 million. Distribution console net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 benefited from the international hardware launches of Xbox and GameCube in March 2002 and May 2002, respectively. Additionally, we benefited from the price reduction on PS2 hardware that was effective September 2001, as this resulted in both an increase in sales of PS2 hardware, as well as an increase in sales of PS2 software due to the corresponding larger installed hardware base.

        Domestic net revenues grew 62% from $66.3 million to $107.1 million. International net revenues increased by 90% from $44.3 million to $84.2 million. The increase in domestic net revenues is reflective of the improvements in our publishing segment as described above, and the increase in international net revenues is reflective of the improvements in our publishing and distribution segments as described above.

Costs and Expenses

        Cost of sales—product costs represented 44% and 58% of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease in cost of sales—product costs as a percentage of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was due to a change in the product mix of our publishing business. The product mix of our publishing business for the three months ended June 30, 2001 reflects a heavier concentration of net revenues from handheld devices due to the release of the Nintendo Game Boy Advance hardware in June 2001 as described above. Handheld devices generally have the highest manufacturing per unit cost of all platforms. Additionally, our console manufacturing costs for the three months ended June 30, 2002 benefited from the economies of scale due to the high volume of Spider-Man: The Movie units manufactured. The decrease in cost of sales—product costs as a percentage of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was also due to the decrease in distribution net revenues as a percentage of total

19

---

consolidated net revenues as distribution net revenues have a higher per unit cost as compared to publishing net revenues.

        Cost of sales—intellectual property licenses increased as a percentage of publishing net revenues to 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, from 6% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase is reflective of the fact that in the three months ended June 30, 2002, our top performing titles were products with high intellectual property royalty rates.

        Cost of sales—software royalties and amortization increased as a percentage of publishing net revenues to 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, from 6% for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase is reflective of higher amortization for internally developed products during the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the prior year period due to the release of Spider-Man: The Movie and Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix during the three months ended June 30, 2002, both of which were internally developed. This increase is also reflective of the change in product mix of net revenues from our publishing business as previously described. The product mix of net revenues from our publishing business for the three months ended June 30, 2001 reflects a heavier concentration of net revenues from handheld devices due to the release of the Nintendo Game Boy Advance hardware in June 2001. Handheld devices generally have a lower cost to develop as compared to other platforms.

        Product development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 increased 28% from the prior year period, from $9.2 million to $11.8 million. This increase is reflective of the change in product mix of titles in development during the respective periods. The cost to develop the current generation of console systems, including PS2, Xbox and GameCube, is higher than the cost to develop for the prior generation of console systems, including PS1, N64 and Sega Dreamcast. Approximately 74% of titles in development during the three months ended June 30, 2002 were for the current generation of console systems, compared to only approximately 45% of titles in development during the prior year period.

        Sales and marketing expenses of $22.0 million and $18.8 million represented 11% and 17% of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase in sales and marketing expense dollars was the result of a significant marketing program in support of the simultaneous cross-platform, multi-national release of Spider-Man: The Movie. The success of the title contributed to the decrease of sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of consolidated net revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the prior year period. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of consolidated net revenues demonstrates our ability to leverage and maximize marketing spending over our branded products and sequel titles.

        General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002, increased 49% over the prior year period, from $9.7 million to $14.5 million. As a percentage of consolidated net revenues, general and administrative expenses remained relatively constant at approximately 8% to 9%. The increase in the dollar amount of general and administrative expenses was due to the incurrence of an approximate $2.0 million charge for the relocation of our UK distribution facility due to the increased growth of our UK distribution and UK publishing businesses, as well as an increase in worldwide administrative support needs and headcount related expenses.

Operating Income (Loss)

        Operating income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2002, was $31.2 million, compared to an operating loss of $(1.2) million in the prior year period. The increase in operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 over the prior year period was primarily due to an increase in the success of our publishing business due to the success of Spider-Man: The Movie, cross-platform releases and a continued focus on building operating efficiencies and controlling costs. The increase in publishing operating income was offset by an operating loss in our distribution business. The operating loss in our distribution business is reflective of the incurrence of an approximate $2.0 million charge for

20

---

the relocation of our UK distribution facility due to the increased growth of our UK distribution and UK publishing businesses.

Interest Income, Net

        Interest income, net remained flat at $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, as higher average cash balances during the three months ended June 30, 2002 were offset by lower interest rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

        The income tax provision of $11.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 reflects our effective income tax rate of approximately 36%. The significant item that generated the variance between our effective rate and our statutory rate of 35% was state taxes, partially offset by research and development tax credits. The realization of deferred tax assets primarily is dependent on the generation of future taxable income. We believe that it is more likely than not that we will generate taxable income sufficient to realize the benefit of net deferred tax assets recognized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Our cash and cash equivalents were $550.3 million at June 30, 2002 compared to $279.0 million at March 31, 2002. This $271.3 million increase in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended June 30, 2002, resulted from $18.0 million and $264.3 million provided by operating and financing activities, respectively, offset by $15.0 million utilized in investing activities. The principal components comprising cash flows from operating activities included favorable operating results, tax benefits from stock option and warrant exercises and reductions in accounts receivable, partially offset by our continued investment in software development and intellectual property licenses and reductions in accounts payable, driven by a seasonal change in working capital needs. Approximately $33.2 million was expended in the three months ended June 30, 2002 in connection with the acquisition of publishing or distribution rights to products being developed by third parties, the execution of new license agreements granting us long-term rights to intellectual property of third parties, as well as the capitalization of product development costs relating to internally developed products. The cash used in investing activities primarily was the result of business combinations and equipment purchases. On May 20, 2002, we acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests of Z-Axis Ltd. ("Z-Axis"), a privately held interactive software development company, in exchange for $12.5 million in cash and 249,190 shares of our common stock valued at approximately $8.2 million. The cash provided by financing activities primarily was the result of proceeds from the issuance of common stock pursuant to employee stock option plans and an underwritten public offering completed June 7, 2002. On June 7, 2002, we issued 7,500,000 shares of common stock for proceeds of approximately $247.3 million, net of offering costs. The proceeds from this offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, additions to working capital and financing of capital expenditures, joint ventures and/or strategic acquisitions.

        In connection with our purchases of Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy hardware and software cartridges for distribution in North America and Europe, Nintendo requires us to provide either irrevocable or standby letters of credit prior to accepting purchase orders. Furthermore, Nintendo maintains a policy of not accepting returns of Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube or Game Boy hardware and software cartridges. Because of these and other factors, the carrying of an inventory of Nintendo 64, Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy hardware and software cartridges entails significant capital and risk. As of June 30, 2002, we had approximately $3.2 million of Nintendo 64 and Nintendo GameCube and $5.8 million of Game Boy hardware and software cartridge inventory on hand, which represented approximately 13% and 23%, respectively, of all inventory.

        In June 1999, we obtained a $100.0 million revolving credit facility and a $25.0 million term loan with a syndicate of banks (the "U.S. Facility"). The revolving portion of the U.S. Facility provided us

21

---

with the ability to borrow up to $100.0 million, including issuing letters of credit up to $80 million, on a revolving basis against eligible accounts receivable and inventory. The term loan had a three-year term with principal amortization on a straight-line quarterly basis beginning December 31, 1999, a borrowing rate based on the banks' base rate (which is generally equivalent to the published prime rate) plus 2% or LIBOR plus 3% and was to expire June 2002. The revolving portion of the U.S Facility had a borrowing rate based on the banks' base rate plus 1.75% or LIBOR plus 2.75%. In May 2001, we accelerated our repayment of the outstanding balance under the term loan portion of the U.S. Facility. In connection with the accelerated repayment, we amended the U.S. Facility (the "Amended and Restated U.S. Facility"). The Amended and Restated U.S. Facility eliminated the term loan, reduced the revolver to $78.0 million and reduced the interest rate to the banks' base rate plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 2.25%. We pay a commitment fee of ¹/4% on the unused portion of the revolver. The Amended and Restated U.S. Facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets and was scheduled to expire in June 2002. However, in June 2002, we obtained an extension of the expiration date to August 21, 2002. Due to our improved financial position, including significant cash balances and minimal debt, we will not seek additional bank financing upon the expiration of the Amended and Restated U.S. Facility.

        The Amended and Restated U.S. Facility contains various covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, create certain liens, sell assets, or enter into certain mergers or acquisitions. We are also required to maintain specified financial ratios related to net worth and fixed charges. As of June 30, 2002, we were in compliance with these covenants. As of June 30, 2002, there were no borrowings outstanding and $1.8 million of letters of credit outstanding against the revolving portion of the Amended and Restated U.S. Facility.

        We have a revolving credit facility through our CD Contact subsidiary in the Netherlands (the "Netherlands Facility"). The Netherlands Facility permitted revolving credit loans and letters of credit up to Euro ("EUR") 4.5 million ($4.5 million) as of June 30, 2002, based upon eligible accounts receivable and inventory balances. The Netherlands Facility is due on demand, bears interest at a Eurocurrency rate plus 1.5%, is collateralized by a British Pounds ("GBP") 1.5 million ($2.3 million) guarantee made by our Centresoft subsidiary through its bank facility and expires August 2003. As of June 30, 2002, there was $962,000 of borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the Netherlands Facility.

        We also have revolving credit facilities with our CentreSoft subsidiary located in the United Kingdom (the "UK Facility") and our NBG subsidiary located in Germany (the "German Facility"). As of June 30, 2002, the UK Facility provided Centresoft with the ability to borrow up to GBP 7.0 million ($10.7 million), including issuing letters of credit, on a revolving basis. Furthermore, as of June 30, 2002, under the UK Facility, Centresoft has provided a GBP 1.5 million ($2.3 million) guarantee which serves as collateral for the Netherlands Facility. The UK Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 2%, is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the subsidiary and expires in October 2002. The UK Facility also contains various covenants that require the subsidiary to maintain specified financial ratios related to, among others, fixed charges. As of June 30, 2002, we were in compliance with these covenants. No borrowings were outstanding against the UK Facility at June 30, 2002. The German Facility provided for revolving loans up to EUR 2.0 million ($2.0 million) as of June 30, 2002, bears interest at a Eurocurrency rate plus 2.5%, is collateralized by a cash deposit of approximately GBP 732,000 ($1.1 million) made by our CentreSoft subsidiary and has no expiration date. No borrowings were outstanding against the German Facility as of June 30, 2002.

        In the normal course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements with third parties for the development of products, as well as for the rights to intellectual property ("IP"). Under these agreements, we commit to provide specified payments to a developer or IP holder, based upon contractual arrangements. Assuming all contractual provisions are met, the total future minimum

22

---

contract commitment for contracts in place as of June 30, 2002 is approximately $74.9 million and is scheduled to be paid as follows (amounts in thousands):

        We believe that we have sufficient working capital ($602.7 million at June 30, 2002), as well as proceeds available from the UK Facility, the Netherlands Facility and the German Facility, to finance our operational requirements for at least the next twelve months, including acquisitions of inventory and equipment, the funding of the development, production, marketing and sale of new products and the acquisition of intellectual property rights for future products from third parties. We have historically financed our acquisitions through the issuance of shares of common stock or a combination of common stock and cash. We will continue to evaluate potential acquisition candidates as to the benefit they bring to us and as to our ability to make such acquisitions.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In June 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue ("EITF") No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." SFAS No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be initially measured at fair value and recognized when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the company's commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are required to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002.

Factors Affecting Future Performance

        In connection with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Litigation Reform Act"), we have disclosed certain cautionary information to be used in connection with written materials (including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and oral statements made by or on behalf of our employees and representatives that may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Litigation Reform Act. Such statements consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate" or "continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. The listener or reader is cautioned that all forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and there are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those referred to in such forward-looking statements. For a discussion that highlights some of the more important risks identified by management, but which should not be assumed to be the only factors that could affect future performance, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

        Market risk is the potential loss arising from fluctuations in market rates and prices. Our market risk exposures primarily include fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our market risk sensitive instruments are classified as "other than trading." Our exposure to market risk as discussed below includes "forward-looking statements" and represents an estimate of possible changes in fair value or future earnings that would occur assuming hypothetical future movements in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates. Our views on market risk are not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur and do not represent the maximum possible gains and losses that may occur, since actual gains and losses will differ from those estimated, based upon actual fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and the timing of transactions.

Interest Rate Risk

        We have had a number of variable rate and fixed rate debt obligations, denominated both in U.S. dollars and various foreign currencies as detailed in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. We manage interest rate risk by monitoring our ratio of fixed and variable rate debt obligations in view of changing market conditions. Additionally, in the future, we may consider the use of interest rate swap agreements to further manage potential interest rate risk.

        As of June 30, 2002 the carrying value of our variable rate debt was approximately $1.0 million, which was comprised of the Netherlands Facility. A hypothetical 1% increase in the applicable interest rate of our variable rate debt, which is not less than 10% of the end of period market rate, would increase annual interest expense by approximately $10,000. A hypothetical 1% increase in the applicable interest rates of our fixed rate debt would not materially impact our financial statements.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

        We transact business in many different foreign currencies and may be exposed to financial market risk resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly GBP and EUR. The volatility of GBP and EUR (and all other applicable currencies) will be monitored frequently throughout the coming year. When appropriate, we enter into hedging transactions in order to mitigate our risk from foreign currency fluctuations. We will continue to use hedging programs in the future and may use currency forward contracts, currency options and/or other derivative financial instruments commonly utilized to reduce financial market risks if it is determined that such hedging activities are appropriate to reduce risk. We do not hold or purchase any foreign currency contracts for trading purposes. As of June 30, 2002, assuming a change in currency rates of 10% of period end rates, the potential gain or loss on outstanding hedging contracts would be approximately $136,300. However any such gain or loss would in turn be offset by the potential gain or loss on the hedged receivable and/or payable.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        We are party to routine claims and suits brought against us in the ordinary course of business including disputes arising over the ownership of intellectual property rights and collection matters. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such routine claims will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Exhibit 10.1

As adopted by the Board of Directors
on April 26, 1999, and amended on April 1, 2001, October 17, 2001 and
July 22, 2002

ACTIVISION, INC.


1999 INCENTIVE PLAN

        ACTIVISION, INC., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), hereby establishes and adopts the following 1999 Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

RECITALS

        WHEREAS, the Company desires to encourage high levels of performance by those individuals who are key to the success of the Company, to attract new individuals who are highly motivated and who will contribute to the success of the Company and to encourage such individuals to remain as directors and/or employees of the Company and its subsidiaries by increasing their proprietary interest in the Company's growth and success.

        WHEREAS, to attain these ends, the Company has formulated the Plan embodied herein to authorize the granting of incentive awards through grants of share options ("Options"), grants of share appreciation rights, grants of Share Purchase Awards (hereafter defined) and grants of Restricted Share Awards (hereafter defined) to those individuals whose judgment, initiative and efforts are or have been responsible for the success of the Company.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby constitutes, establishes and adopts the following Plan and agrees to the following provisions:

ARTICLE 1.

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

        1.1.    Purpose.    The purpose of the Plan is to assist the Company and its subsidiaries in attracting and retaining selected individuals to serve as directors, officers, consultants, advisors and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who will contribute to the Company's success and to achieve long-term objectives which will inure to the benefit of all shareholders of the Company through the additional incentive inherent in the ownership or increased ownership of the Company's shares of common stock ("Shares"). Options granted under the Plan will be either "incentive share options," intended to qualify as such under the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the "Code"), or "nonqualified share options." For purposes of the Plan, the term "subsidiary" shall mean "subsidiary corporation," as such term is defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, and "affiliate" shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). For purposes of the Plan, the term "Award" shall mean a grant of an Option, a grant of a share appreciation right, a grant of a Share Purchase Award, a grant of a Restricted Share Award, or any other award made under the terms of the Plan.

ARTICLE 2.

SHARES SUBJECT TO AWARDS

        2.1.    Number of Shares.    Subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 9.10 hereof, the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued under Awards under the Plan, whether pursuant to Options, share appreciation rights, Share Purchase Awards or Restricted Share Awards shall not exceed 7,500,000. No Options to purchase fractional Shares shall be granted or issued under the Plan. For

---

purposes of this Section 2.1, the Shares that shall be counted toward such limitation shall include all Shares:

(1)

issued or issuable pursuant to Options that have been or may be exercised;



(2)

issued or issuable pursuant to Share Purchase Awards; and



(3)

issued as, or subject to issuance as a Restricted Share Award.

        2.2.    Shares Subject to Terminated Awards.    The Shares covered by any unexercised portions of terminated Options granted under Articles 4 and 6, Shares forfeited as provided in Section 8.2(a) and Shares subject to any Awards which are otherwise surrendered by the Participant without receiving any payment or other benefit with respect thereto may again be subject to new Awards under the Plan. In the event the purchase price of an Option is paid in whole or in part through the delivery of Shares, the number of Shares issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option shall not again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. Shares subject to Options, or portions thereof, which have been surrendered in connection with the exercise of share appreciation rights shall not again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan.

        2.3.    Character of Shares.    Shares delivered under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Shares or Shares acquired by the Company, or both.

        2.4.    Limitations on Grants to Individual Participant.    Subject to adjustments pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.10 hereof, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options or stock appreciation rights may be granted hereunder to any employee during any fiscal year shall be 500,000 Shares (the "Limitation"). If an Option is cancelled, the cancelled Option shall continue to be counted toward the Limitation for the year granted. An Option (or a stock appreciation right) that is repriced during any fiscal year is treated as the cancellation of the Option (or stock appreciation right) and a grant of a new Option (or stock appreciation right) for purposes of the Limitation for that fiscal year.

ARTICLE 3.

ELIGIBILITY AND ADMINISTRATION

        3.1.    Awards to Employees and Directors.    (a)    Participants who receive (i) Options under Articles 4 and 6 hereof or share appreciation rights under Article 5 ("Optionees"), and (ii) Share Purchase Awards under Article 7 or Restricted Share Awards under Article 8 (in either case, a "Participant"), shall consist of such officers, key employees, consultants, representatives and other contractors and agents and Directors (hereinafter defined) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates as the Committee shall select from time to time, provided, however, that an Option that is intended to qualify as an "incentive share option" may be granted only to an individual that is an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Committee's designation of an Optionee or Participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such person to receive Awards or grants in any other year. The designation of an Optionee or Participant to receive Awards or grants under one portion of the Plan shall not require the Committee to include such Optionee or Participant under other portions of the Plan.

        (b)  No Option which is intended to qualify as an "incentive share option" may be granted to any employee or Director who, at the time of such grant, owns, directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code), shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, unless at the time of such grant, (i) the option price is fixed at not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value (as defined below) of the Shares subject to such Option, determined on the date of the grant, and (ii) the

2

---

exercise of such Option is prohibited by its terms after the expiration of five years from the date such Option is granted.

        3.2.    Administration.    (a) The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the "Committee") consisting of not fewer than two Directors of the Company (the directors of the Company being hereinafter referred to as the "Directors"), as designated by the Directors. The Directors may remove from, add members to, or fill vacancies in the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors, each member of the Committee will be a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule) of the Exchange Act and an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Award to a member of the Committee must be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding Directors who are also members of the Committee) to be effective.

        (b)  The Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for the conduct of meetings and proper administration of the Plan. All actions of the Committee shall be taken by majority vote of its members.

        (c)  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to grant Awards under the Plan, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and, subject to the requirements of applicable law, including Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. The Committee shall have no authority to reduce the exercise price of any Options or share appreciation rights granted under the Plan (except in connection with adjustments pursuant to Section 10.9 below). 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, its shareholders, Directors and employees, and other Plan participants.

ARTICLE 4.

OPTIONS

        4.1.    Grant of Options.    Directors, Officers and Other Key Employees. The Committee shall determine, within the limitations of the Plan, those Directors, officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to whom Options are to be granted under the Plan, the number of Shares that may be purchased under each such Option and the option price, and shall designate such Options at the time of the grant as either "incentive share options" or "nonqualified share options"; provided, however, that Options granted to employees of an affiliate (that is not also a subsidiary) or to non-employees of the Company may only be "nonqualified share options."

        4.2.    Share Option Agreements; etc.    All Options granted pursuant to Article 4 and Article 6 herein (a) shall be authorized by the Committee and (b) shall be evidenced in writing by share option agreements ("Share Option Agreements") in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine which are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, and, with respect to any Share Option Agreement granting Options which are intended to qualify as "incentive share options," are not inconsistent with Section 422 of the Code. Granting of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall impose no obligation on the recipient to exercise such option. Any individual who is granted an Option pursuant to this Article 4 and Article 6 herein may hold more than one Option granted pursuant to such Articles at the same time and may hold both "incentive share options" and "nonqualified share options" at the same time. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an "incentive share option" (whether because of its provisions, the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise) such Option or the portion thereof which does not so qualify shall constitute a separate "nonqualified share option."

3

---

        4.3.    Option Price.    Subject to Section 3.1(b), the option price per each Share purchasable under any "incentive share option" granted pursuant to this Article 4 and any "nonqualified share option" granted pursuant to Article 6 herein shall be determined by the Committee, but in the case of an "incentive share option" shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) of such Share on the date of the grant of such Option. The option price per share of each Share purchasable under any "nonqualified share option" granted pursuant to this Article 4 shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of such Option, but shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date of the grant of such Option.

        4.4.    Other Provisions.    Options granted pursuant to this Article 4 shall be made in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article 10 hereof and any other applicable terms and provisions of the Plan.

ARTICLE 5.

SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS

        5.1.    Grant and Exercise.    Share appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan, as follows: (i) in the case of a nonqualified share option, such rights may be granted either at the time of the grant of such option or at any subsequent time during the term of the option; and (ii) in the case of an incentive share option, such rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of such option. A "share appreciation right" is a right to receive cash or Shares, as provided in this Article 5, in lieu of the purchase of a Share under a related Option. A share appreciation right or applicable portion thereof shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Option, and a share appreciation right granted with respect to less than the full number of Shares covered by a related Option shall not be reduced until, and then only to the extent that, the exercise or termination of the related Option exceeds the number of Shares not covered by the share appreciation right. A share appreciation right may be exercised by the holder thereof (the "Holder"), in accordance with Section 5.2 of this Article 5, by giving written notice thereof to the Company and surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon giving such notice and surrender, the Holder shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in Section 5.2 of this Article 5. Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related share appreciation rights have been exercised.

        5.2.    Terms and Conditions.    Share appreciation rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee, including the following:

        (a)  Share appreciation rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

        (b)  Upon the exercise of a share appreciation right, a Holder shall be entitled to receive up to, but no more than, an amount in cash or whole Shares as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of one Share over the option price per Share specified in the related Option multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the share appreciation right shall have been exercised. The Holder shall specify in his written notice of exercise, whether payment shall be made in cash or in whole Shares. Each share appreciation right may be exercised only at the time and so long as a related Option, if any, would be exercisable or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

        (c)  Upon the exercise of a share appreciation right, the Option or part thereof to which such share appreciation right is related shall be deemed to have been exercised for the purpose of the

4

---

limitation of the number of Shares to be issued under the Plan, as set forth in Section 2.1 of the Plan.

        (d)  With respect to share appreciation rights granted in connection with an Option that is intended to be an "incentive share option," the following shall apply:

        (i)    No share appreciation right shall be transferable by a Holder otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and share appreciation rights shall be exercisable, during the Holder's lifetime, only by the Holder.

        (ii)  Share appreciation rights granted in connection with an Option may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option exceeds the option price at which Shares can be acquired pursuant to the Option.

ARTICLE 6.

RELOAD OPTIONS

        6.1.    Authorization of Reload Options.    Concurrently with the award of any Option (such Option hereinafter referred to as the "Underlying Option") to any participant in the Plan, the Committee may grant one or more reload options (each, a "Reload Option") to such participant to purchase for cash or Shares a number of Shares as specified below. A Reload Option shall be exercisable for an amount of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares delivered by the Optionee to the Company to exercise the Underlying Option, and (ii) to the extent authorized by the Committee, the number of Shares used to satisfy any tax withholding requirement incident to the exercise of the Underlying Option, subject to the availability of Shares under the Plan at the time of such exercise. Any Reload Option may provide for the grant, when exercised, of subsequent Reload Options to the extent and upon such terms and conditions consistent with this Article 6, as the Committee in its sole discretion shall specify at or after the time of grant of such Reload Option. The grant of a Reload Option will become effective upon the exercise of an Underlying Option or Reload Option by the Optionee delivering to the Company Shares owned by the Optionee in payment of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations. Notwithstanding the fact that the Underlying Option may be an "incentive share option," a Reload Option is not intended to qualify as an "incentive share option" under Section 422 of the Code.

        6.2.    Reload Option Amendment.    Each Share Option Agreement shall state whether the Committee has authorized Reload Options with respect to the Underlying Option. Upon the exercise of an Underlying Option or other Reload Option, the Reload Option will be evidenced by an amendment to the underlying Share Option Agreement.

        6.3.    Reload Option Price.    The option price per Share payable upon the exercise of a Reload Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the grant of the Reload Option becomes effective.

        6.4.    Term and Exercise.    Each Reload Option is fully exercisable immediately from the effective date of grant. The term of each Reload Option shall be equal to the remaining option term of the Underlying Option.

        6.5.    Termination of Employment.    No additional Reload Options shall be granted to Optionees when Options and/or Reload Options are exercised pursuant to the terms of this Plan following termination of the Optionee's employment unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine otherwise.

        6.6.    Applicability of Other Sections.    Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6, the provisions of Article 9 applicable to Options shall apply equally to Reload Options.

ARTICLE 7.

SHARE PURCHASE AWARDS

        7.1.    Grant of Share Purchase Award.    The term "Share Purchase Award" means the right to purchase Shares of the Company and to pay for such Shares through a loan made by the Company to an employee (a "Purchase Loan") as set forth in this Article 7.

        7.2.    Terms of Purchase Loans.    (a)    Purchase Loan.    Each Purchase Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note. The term of the Purchase Loan shall be a period of years, as determined by the Committee, and the proceeds of the Purchase Loan shall be used exclusively by the Participant for purchase of Shares from the Company at a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value on the date of the Share Purchase Award.

        (b)  Interest on Purchase Loan.    A Purchase Loan shall be non-interest bearing or shall bear interest at whatever rate the Committee shall determine (but not in excess of the maximum rate permissible under applicable law), payable in a manner and at such times as the Committee shall determine. Those terms and provisions as the Committee shall determine shall be incorporated into the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan.

        (c)  Forgiveness of Purchase Loan.    Subject to Section 7.4 hereof, the Company may forgive the repayment of up to 100% of the principal amount of the Purchase Loan, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine and set forth in the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan. A Participant's Purchase Loan can be prepaid at any time, and from time to time, without penalty.

        7.3.    Security for Loans.    (a)    Stock Power and Pledge. Purchase Loans granted to Participants shall be secured by a pledge of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Share Purchase Award. Such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement (the "Pledge Agreement") containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Purchase Loans shall be recourse or non-recourse with respect to a Participant, as determined from time to time by the Committee. The share certificates for the Shares purchased by a Participant pursuant to a Share Purchase Award shall be issued in the Participant's name, but shall be held by the Company as security for repayment of the Participant's Purchase Loan together with a stock power executed in blank by the Participant (the execution and delivery of which by the Participant shall be a condition to the issuance of the Share Purchase Award). The Participant shall be entitled to exercise all rights applicable to such Shares, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive dividends and other distributions made with respect to such Shares. When the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon has been repaid or otherwise satisfied in full, the Company shall deliver to the Participant the share certificates for the Shares purchased by a Participant under the Share Purchase Award.

        (b)  Release and Delivery of Share Certificates During the Term of the Purchase Loan.    The Company shall release and deliver to each Participant certificates for Shares purchased by a Participant pursuant to a Share Purchase Award, in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, which shall be set forth in the Pledge Agreement.

        (c)  Release and Delivery of Share Certificates Upon Repayment of the Purchase Loan.    The Company shall release and deliver to each Participant certificates for the Shares purchased by the Participant under the Share Purchase Award and then held by the Company, provided the Participant has paid or otherwise satisfied in full the balance of the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon. In the event the balance of the Purchase Loan is not repaid, forgiven or otherwise satisfied within 90 days after (i) the date repayment of the Purchase Loan is due (whether in accordance with its term, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), or (ii) such longer time as the Committee, in its discretion, shall provide for repayment or satisfaction, the

6

---

Company shall retain those Shares then held by the Company in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.

        (d)  Recourse Purchase Loans.    Notwithstanding Sections 7.3(a), (b) and (c) above, in the case of a recourse Purchase Loan, the Committee may make such Purchase Loan on such terms as it determines, including without limitation, not requiring a pledge of the acquired Shares.

        7.4.    Termination of Employment.    (a)    Termination of Employment by Death, Disability or by the Company Without Cause; Change of Control.    In the event of a Participant's termination of employment by reason of death, "disability" or by the Company without "cause," or in the event of a "change of control," the Committee shall have the right (but shall not be required) to forgive the remaining unpaid amount (principal and interest) of the Purchase Loan in whole or in part as of the date of such occurrence. "Change of Control," "disability" and "cause" shall have the respective meanings as set forth in the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan.

        (b)  Other Termination of Employment.    Subject to Section 7.4(a) above, in the event of a Participant's termination of employment for any reason, the Participant shall repay to the Company the entire balance of the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, which amounts shall become immediately due and payable, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

        7.5.    Restrictions on Transfer.    No Share Purchase Award or Shares purchased through such an Award and pledged to the Company as collateral security for the Participant's Purchase Loan (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) may be otherwise pledged, sold, assigned or transferred (other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution).

ARTICLE 8.

RESTRICTED AWARDS

        8.1.    Restricted Share Awards.    (a)    Grant.    A grant of Shares made pursuant to this Article 8 is referred to as a "Restricted Share Award." The Committee may grant to any employee an amount of Shares in such manner, and subject to such terms and conditions relating to vesting, forfeitability and restrictions on delivery and transfer (whether based on performance standards, periods of service or otherwise) as the Committee shall establish (such Shares, "Restricted Shares"). The terms of any Restricted Share Award granted under this Plan shall be set forth in a written agreement (a "Restricted Share Agreement") which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with this Plan. The provisions of Restricted Share Awards need not be the same for each Participant receiving such Awards.

        (b)  Issuance of Restricted Shares.    As soon as practicable after the date of grant of a Restricted Share Award by the Committee, the Company shall cause to be transferred on the books of the Company, Shares registered in the name of the Company, as nominee for the Participant, evidencing the Restricted Shares covered by the Award; provided, however, such Shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the Company retroactive to the date of grant, if a Restricted Share Agreement delivered to the Participant by the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares covered by the Award is not duly executed by the Participant and timely returned to the Company. All Restricted Shares covered by Awards under this Article 8 shall be subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions contained in the Plan and the Restricted Share Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Participant. Until the lapse or release of all restrictions applicable to an Award of Restricted Shares, the share certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall be held in custody by the Company or its designee.

        (c)  Shareholder Rights. Beginning on the date of grant of the Restricted Share Award and subject to execution of the Restricted Share Agreement as provided in Sections 8.1(a) and (b), the Participant shall become a shareholder of the Company with respect to all Shares subject to the

7

---

Restricted Share Agreement and shall have all of the rights of a shareholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive distributions made with respect to such Shares; provided, however, that any Shares distributed as a dividend or otherwise with respect to any Restricted Shares as to which the restrictions have not yet lapsed shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted Shares and shall be represented by book entry and held as prescribed in Section 8.1(b).

        (d)  Restriction on Transferability. None of the Restricted Shares may be assigned or transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or sold prior to lapse or release of the restrictions applicable thereto.

        (e)  Delivery of Shares Upon Release of Restrictions.    Upon expiration or earlier termination of the forfeiture period without a forfeiture and the satisfaction of or release from any other conditions prescribed by the Committee, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares shall lapse. As promptly as administratively feasible thereafter, subject to the requirements of Section 12.1, the Company shall deliver to the Participant or, in case of the Participant's death, to the Participant's beneficiary, one or more stock certificates for the appropriate number of Shares, free of all such restrictions, except for any restrictions that may be imposed by law.

        8.2.    Terms of Restricted Shares.    (a)    Forfeiture of Restricted Shares.    Subject to Section 8.2(b), all Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Company and all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Shares shall terminate unless the Participant continues in the service of the Company as an employee until the expiration of the forfeiture period for such Restricted Shares and satisfies any and all other conditions set forth in the Restricted Share Agreement. The Committee in its sole discretion, shall determine the forfeiture period (which may, but need not, lapse in installments) and any other terms and conditions applicable with respect to any Restricted Share Award.

        (b)  Waiver of Forfeiture Period.    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, waive the forfeiture period and any other conditions set forth in any Restricted Share Agreement under appropriate circumstances (including the death, disability or retirement of the Participant or a material change in circumstances arising after the date of an Award) and subject to such terms and conditions (including forfeiture of a proportionate number of the Restricted Shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

ARTICLE 9.

DEFERRED SHARE AWARDS

        9.1.    Shares and Administration.    Awards of the right to receive Shares that are not to be distributed to the Participant until after a specified deferral period (such Award and the deferred Shares delivered thereunder hereinafter as the context shall require, the "Deferred Shares") may be made either alone or in addition to share options, share appreciation rights, or Restricted Share Awards, or Other Share-based Awards (hereafter defined) granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the Directors, officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to whom and the time or times at which Deferred Shares shall be awarded, the number of Deferred Shares to be awarded to any Participant, the duration of the period (the "Deferral Period") during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the Shares will be deferred, and the terms and conditions of the award in addition to those contained in Section 9.2. In its sole discretion, the Committee may provide for a minimum payment at the end of the applicable Deferral Period based on a stated percentage of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of the number of Shares covered by a Deferred Share award. The Committee may also provide for the grant of Deferred Shares upon the completion of a specified performance period. The provisions of Deferred Share awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

        9.2.    Terms and Conditions.    Deferred Share awards made pursuant to this Article 9 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

        (a)  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Shares to be issued pursuant to a Deferred Share award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the Deferral Period or Elective Deferral Period (defined below), where applicable, and may be subject to a risk of forfeiture during all or such portion of the Deferral Period as shall be specified by the Committee. At the expiration of the Deferral Period and Elective Deferral Period, share certificates shall be delivered to the Participant, or the Participant's legal representative, in a number equal to the number of shares covered by the Deferred Share award.

        (b)  Amounts equal to any dividends declared during the Deferral Period with respect to the number of Shares covered by a Deferred Share award will be paid to the Participant currently, or deferred and deemed to be reinvested in additional deferred Shares or otherwise reinvested, as determined at the time of the award by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

        (c)  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 9.2(d) of this Article 9, upon termination of employment for any reason during the Deferral Period for a given award, the Deferred Shares in question shall be forfeited by the Participant.

        (d)  In the event of the Participant's death or permanent disability during the Deferral Period (or Elective Deferral Period, where applicable), or in cases of special circumstances, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all of the remaining deferral limitations imposed hereunder with respect to any or all of the Participant's Deferred Shares.

        (e)  Prior to completion of the Deferral Period, a Participant may elect to further defer receipt of the award for a specified period or until a specified event (the "Elective Deferral Period"), subject in each case to the approval of the Committee and under such terms as are determined by the Committee, all in its sole discretion.

        (f)    Each award shall be confirmed by a Deferred Share agreement or other instrument executed by the Company and the Participant.

ARTICLE 10.

GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS

        10.1.    Option Period.    Subject to Section 3.1(b), the period for which an Option is exercisable shall not exceed ten years from the date such Option is granted, provided, however, in the case of an Option that is not intended to be an "incentive share option," the Committee may prescribe a period in excess of ten years. After the Option is granted, the option period may not be reduced.

        10.2.    Fair Market Value.    The "Fair Market Value" of a Share shall be determined in good faith by the Committee in its sole discretion from time to time. In no case shall Fair Market Value be less than the par value of a Share. An Option shall be considered granted on the date the Committee acts to grant the Option or such later date as the Committee shall specify.

        10.3.    Exercise of Options.    Options granted under the Plan shall be exercised by the Optionee or by a Permitted Assignee thereof (or by his executors, administrators, guardian or legal representative, as provided in Sections 10.6 and 10.7 hereof) as to all or part of the Shares covered thereby, by the giving of written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment of the full purchase price for the Shares being purchased. Full payment of such purchase price shall be made within five business days following the date of exercise and shall be made (i) in cash or by certified check or bank check, (ii) with the consent of the Committee, by delivery of a promissory note in favor of the Company upon such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee, (iii) with the consent of Committee, by tendering previously acquired Shares (valued at its Fair Market Value, as determined by the Committee as of the date of tender), or (iv) with the consent of the Committee, any combination of (i), (ii) and (iii). In connection with a tender of previously acquired Shares pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the Optionee to constructively exchange Shares already owned by the Optionee in lieu of actually tendering such Shares to the Company, provided that adequate documentation concerning the ownership of the Shares to be constructively tendered is furnished in form satisfactory to the Committee. The notice of exercise, accompanied by such payment, shall be delivered to the Company at its principal business office or such other office as the Committee may from time to time direct, and shall be in such form, containing such further provisions consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee may from time to time prescribe. In no event may any Option granted hereunder be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Company shall effect the transfer of Shares purchased pursuant to an Option as soon as practicable, and, within a reasonable time thereafter, such transfer shall be evidenced on the books of the Company. No person exercising an Option shall have any of the rights of a holder of Shares subject to an Option until certificates for such Shares shall have been issued following the exercise of such Option. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

        10.4.    Transferability.    No Option that is intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the Code shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Option may be exercised during the life of the Optionee only by the Optionee or his guardian or legal representative. "Non-qualified share options" and any share appreciation rights granted in tandem therewith are transferable (together and not separately) with the consent of the Committee by the Optionee or Holder, as the case may be, to any one or more of the following persons (each, a "Permitted Assignee"): (i) the spouse, parent, issue, spouse of issue, or issue of spouse ("issue" shall include all descendants whether natural or adopted) of such Optionee or Holder, as the case may be; (ii) a trust for the benefit of one or more of those persons described in clause (i) above or for the benefit of such Optionee or Holder, as the case may be; (iii) an entity in which the Optionee or Holder or any Permitted Assignee thereof is a beneficial owner; or (iv) in the case of a transfer by an Optionee who is a non-employee director, another non-employee director of the Company; provided that such Permitted Assignee shall be bound by and subject to all of the terms

10

---

and conditions of this Plan and the Share Option Agreement relating to the transferred Option and shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the Company evidencing such obligations; and provided further that such Optionee or Holder shall remain bound by the terms and conditions of this Plan. In the case of a transfer by a non-employee director to another non-employee director, the vesting and exercisability shall after such transfer be determined by reference to the service of the assignee, rather than the assignor. The Company shall cooperate with any Permitted Assignee and the Company's transfer agent in effectuating any transfer permitted under this Section 10.4.

        10.5.    Termination of Employment.    In the event of the termination of employment of an Optionee or the termination or separation from service of an advisor or consultant or a Director (who is an Optionee) for any reason (other than death or disability as provided below), any Option(s) granted to such Optionee under this Plan and not previously exercised or expired shall be deemed cancelled and terminated on the day of such termination or separation, unless the Committee decides, in its sole discretion, to extend the term of the Option for a period not to exceed three months after the date of such termination or separation, provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the termination or separation from service of an Optionee for any reason other than death or disability, under conditions satisfactory to the Company, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow any "nonqualified share options" granted to such Optionee under the Plan and not previously exercised or expired to be exercisable for a period of time to be specified by the Committee, provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 10.1 above.

        10.6.    Death.    In the event an Optionee dies while employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or during his term as a Director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, as the case may be, any Option(s) granted to him (or his Permitted Assignee) and not previously expired or exercised shall, to the extent exercisable on the date of death, be exercisable by the estate of such Optionee or by any person who acquired such Option by bequest or inheritance, or by the Permitted Assignee at any time within one year after the death of the Optionee, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after the Optionee's death, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after the Optionee's death, provided further, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 above.

        10.7.    Disability.    In the event of the termination of employment of an Optionee or the separation from service of a Director (who is an Optionee) due to total disability, the Optionee, or his guardian or legal representative, or a Permitted Assignee shall have the unqualified right to exercise any Option(s) which have not been previously exercised or expired and which the Optionee was eligible to exercise as of the first date of total disability (as determined by the Committee), at any time within one year after such termination or separation, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after such termination or separation, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after such termination or separation, provided further, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 above. The term "total disability" shall, for purposes of this Plan, be defined in the same manner as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

        10.8.    Amendment and Modification of the Plan.    The Committee may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for shareholder approval imposed by applicable law or any rule of any stock exchange or quotation system on which Shares are listed or quoted; provided that no amendments to, or termination of, the Plan

11

---

shall in any way impair the rights of an Optionee or a Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) under any Award previously granted without such Optionee's or Participant's consent.

        10.9.    Adjustments.    In the event that the Committee 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, or exchange of Shares or other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares with respect to which Options have been or may be issued under the Plan, such that an adjustment is determined by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares that thereafter may be made the subject of Options, (ii) the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Options and share appreciation rights, and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Option, or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of any outstanding Option; provided, in each case, that with respect to "incentive stock options," no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause such options to violate Section 422(b) of the Code or any successor provision; and provided further, that the number of Shares subject to any Option denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number. In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or other business combination involving the Company (collectively, a "Reorganization"), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors may cause any Award outstanding as of the effective date of the Reorganization to be cancelled in consideration of a cash payment or alternate Award made to the holder of such cancelled Award equal in value to the fair market value of such cancelled Award. The determination of fair market value shall be made by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, in their sole discretion.

        10.10.    Change in Control.    The terms of any Award may provide in the Share Option Agreement, Restricted Share Agreement, Purchase Loan or other document evidencing the Award, that upon a "Change in Control" of the Company (as that term may be defined therein), (i) Options (and share appreciation rights) accelerate and become fully exercisable, (ii) restrictions on Restricted Shares lapse and the shares become fully vested, (iii) Purchase Loans are forgiven in whole or in part, and (iv) such other additional benefits as the Committee deems appropriate shall apply. For purposes of this Plan, a "Change in Control" shall mean an event described in the applicable document evidencing the Award or such other event as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Committee, in its discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company, each Option and share appreciation right outstanding hereunder shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Participant or Holder, and such Participant or Holder shall receive, with respect to each Share subject to such Option or share appreciation right, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Shares immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change in Control over the exercise price per share of such Option or share appreciation right; such amount to be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including the property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.

        10.11.    Employment Violation.    Each Share Option Agreement evidencing an Option granted on or after April 1, 2001, shall include and be subject to the following terms:

        (a)  The terms of this Section 10.11 shall apply to the Option if the Optionee is or shall become subject to an employment agreement with the Company.

        (b)  If the Optionee materially breaches his or her employment agreement (it being understood that any breach of the post-termination obligations contained therein shall be deemed to be material) for so long as the terms of such employment agreement shall apply to the

12

---

Optionee (each, an "Employment Violation"), the Company shall have the right to require (i) the termination and cancellation of the unexercised portion of the Option, if any, whether vested or unvested, and (ii) payment by the Optionee to the Company of the Recapture Amount (as defined below). Such termination of unexercised Options and payment of the Recapture Amount, as the case may be, shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy available to the Company arising out of or in connection with any such Employment Violation including, without limitation, the right to terminate Optionee's employment if not already terminated, seek injunctive relief and additional monetary damages.

        (c)  "Recapture Amount" shall mean the gross gain realized or unrealized by the Optionee upon each exercise of his Option during the period beginning on the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Optionee's Employment Violation and ending on the date of computation (the "Look-back Period"), which gain shall be calculated as the sum of:

        (i)    if the Optionee has exercised any portion of his Option during the Look-back Period and sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, an amount equal to the product of (x) the sales price per Share sold minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which the Option was exercised and which were sold at such sales price; plus

        (ii)  if the Optionee has exercised any portion of his Option during the Look-back Period and not sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, with respect to each of such Shares an amount equal to the product of (x) the greatest of the following: (1) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of exercise, (2) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Company's written notice of its exercise of its rights under this clause (h), or (3) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of computation, minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which this Option was exercised and which were not sold;

provided, however, in lieu of payment by the Optionee to the Company of the Recapture Amount determined pursuant to subclause (ii) above, the Optionee, in his or her discretion, may tender to the Company the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option during the Look-back Period and not sold and the Optionee shall not be entitled to receive any consideration from the Company in exchange therefor.

        With respect to any other Awards granted hereunder, the terms of any Restricted Share Agreement, share appreciation right, Share Purchase Award or any other document evidencing an Award under the Plan, may include comparable provisions to those set forth in this Section 10.11.

        10.12.    Other Provisions.    (a)    The Committee may require each Participant purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such Participant is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

        (b)  All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject to such share-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other restrictions of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

        (c)  Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for, any other Awards granted under the

13

---

Plan. If Awards are granted in substitution for other Awards, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Awards in consideration for the grant of the new Awards. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

        (d)  Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board of Directors from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

        (e)  A Participant shall have no right as a shareholder until he or she becomes the holder of record.

        (f)    The Company will provide to its shareholders, at least annually, reports containing financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations.

        10.13.    Terms of Option Grant.    Notwithstanding anything in Sections 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.10 and 10.11 to the contrary, the Committee may grant an Option under such terms and conditions as may be provided in the Share Option Agreement given to the Optionee and the Committee has the discretion to modify the terms and conditions of an Option after grant as long as the rights of the Optionee are not impaired unless the Optionee otherwise consents, provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so granted, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 10.1 above, provided further that in no instance may the exercise price of the Option be reduced after the date of grant (except in connection with adjustments pursuant to Section 10.9 hereof).

ARTICLE 11.

MISCELLANEOUS

        11.1.    Tax Withholding.    The Company shall notify an Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) of any income tax withholding requirements arising as a result of the grant of any Award, exercise of an Option or share appreciation rights or any other event occurring pursuant to this Plan. The Company shall have the right to withhold from such Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) to pay such withholding taxes. If the Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Optionee or Participant or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. In satisfaction of the requirement to pay withholding taxes, the Optionee (or Permitted Assignee) make a written election, which may be accepted or rejected in the discretion of the Committee, to have withheld a portion of the Shares then issuable to the Optionee (or Permitted Assignee) pursuant to the Option having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding taxes.

        11.2.    Right of Discharge Reserved.    Nothing in the Plan nor the grant of an Award hereunder shall confer upon any employee, Director or other individual the right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or affect any right that the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company may have to terminate the employment or service of (or to demote or to exclude from future Options under the Plan) any such employee, Director or other individual at any time for any reason. Except as specifically provided by the Committee, the Company shall not be liable for the loss of existing or potential profit from an Award granted in the event of termination of an employment or other relationship even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to the employee or Director.

14

---

        11.3.    Nature of Payments.    All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services performed or to be performed for the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. Any income or gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan and any share appreciation rights constitutes a special incentive payment to the Optionee, Participant or Holder and shall not be taken into account, to the extent permissible under applicable law, as compensation for purposes of any of the employee benefit plans of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company except as may be determined by the Committee or by the Directors or directors of the applicable subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

        11.4.    Unfunded Status of the Plan.    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 or Optionee by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant or Optionee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver the Shares or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.

        11.5.    Severability.    If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which remain in full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or provided under the Plan, and if the making of any payment in full or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, then such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent such payment or benefit from being made or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable shall be made or provided under the Plan.

        11.6.    Gender and Number.    In order to shorten and to improve the understandability of the Plan document by eliminating the repeated usage of such phrases as "his or her" and any masculine terminology herein shall also include the feminine, and the definition of any term herein in the singular shall also include the plural except when otherwise indicated by the context.

        11.7.    Governing Law.    The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken thereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed accordingly.

        11.8.    Effective Date of Plan; Termination of Plan.    The Plan shall be effective on the date of the approval of the Plan by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option intended to qualify as an incentive share option shall be granted hereunder until the Plan shall be approved by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon, provided such approval is obtained within 12 months after the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors. Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time and from time to time prior to May 31, 2009, on which date the Plan will expire except as to Awards and related share appreciation rights then outstanding under the Plan. Such outstanding Awards and share appreciation rights shall remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated, or have expired.

        11.9.    Captions.    The captions in this Plan are for convenience of reference only, and are not intended to narrow, limit or affect the substance or interpretation of the provisions contained herein.

---

        This Option shall be exercised by the Holder (or by his or her executors, administrators, guardian or legal representative) as to all or part of the Shares, by the giving of written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment of the full purchase price for the Shares being purchased. Full payment of such purchase price shall be made at the time of exercise and shall be made (i) in cash or by certified check or bank check, (ii) with the consent of the Company, by tendering previously acquired Shares (valued at its Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan), as determined by the Company as of the date of tender), or (iii) with the consent of the Company, combination of (i) and (ii). Such notice of exercise, accompanied by such payment, shall be delivered to the Company at its principal business office or such other office as the Company may from time to time direct, and shall be in such form, containing such further provisions as the Company may from time to time prescribe. In no event may this Option be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Company shall effect the transfer of Shares purchased pursuant to an Option as soon as practicable, and, within a reasonable time thereafter, such transfer shall be evidenced on the books of the Company.

No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

        4.    Termination of Employment.    In the event of the termination of employment or separation from service of the Holder for any reason (other than death or disability as provided below), this Option, to the extent not previously exercised or expired, shall be deemed cancelled and terminated 30 days after the day of such termination or separation.

        5.    Death.    In the event the Holder dies while employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or during his term as a Director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, as the case may be, this Option, to the extent not previously expired or exercised, shall, to the extent exercisable on the date of death, be exercisable by the estate of the Holder or by any person who acquired this Option by bequest or inheritance, at any time within one year after the death of the Holder, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, provided, however, that if the term of this Option would expire by its terms within six months after the Holder's death, the term of this Option shall be extended until six months after the Holder's death.

        6.    Disability.    In the event of the termination of employment of the Holder or the separation from service of a Director who is a Holder due to total disability, the Holder, or his or her guardian or legal representative, shall have the unqualified right to exercise any portion of this Option which has not been previously exercised or expired and which the Holder was eligible to exercise as of the first date of total disability (as determined by the Company), at any time within one year after such termination or separation, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after such termination or separation, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after such termination or separation. The term "total disability" shall, for purposes of this Option Certificate, be defined in the same manner as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        7.    Change of Control.    If the Holder is an active employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at the time there occurs a "Change of Control" of the Company (as defined below) and the Holder's employment is terminated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than for Cause (as defined below) within twelve (12) months following such Change of Control, or such longer period as the Committee may determine, the portion, if any, of this Option with respect to which the right to exercise has not yet accrued, shall immediately vest and be exercisable in full, effective upon such

17

termination, for a period of 30 days thereafter, or such longer period as the Committee may determine. For purposes of this Option, a "Change of Control" of the Company shall be deemed to occur if:

        (i)    there shall have occurred a Change of Control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as in effect on the date hereof, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement, provided, however, that there shall not be deemed to be a Change of Control of the Company if immediately prior to the occurrence of what would otherwise be a Change of Control of the Company (a) the Holder is the other party to the transaction (a "Control Event") that would otherwise result in a Change of Control of the Company or (b) the Holder is an executive officer, trustee, director or more than 5% equity holder of the other party to the Control Event or of any entity, directly or indirectly, controlling such other party;

        (ii)  the Company merges or consolidates with, or sells all or substantially all of its assets to, another company (each, a "Transaction"), provided, however, that a Transaction shall not be deemed to result in a Change of Control of the Company if (a) immediately prior thereto the circumstances in (i)(a) or (i)(b) above exist, or (b) (1) the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such Transaction own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such Transaction in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Transaction (the "Surviving Corporation") in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the voting securities of the Company immediately before such Transaction and (2) the individuals who were members of the Company's Board of Directors immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Transaction constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors or the board of trustees, as the case may be, of the Surviving Corporation, or of a corporation or other entity beneficially directly or indirectly owning a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Surviving Corporation; or

        (iii)  the Company acquires assets of another company or a subsidiary of the Company merges or consolidates with another company (each, an "Other Transaction") and (a) the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such Other Transaction own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such Other Transaction 50% or less of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Other Transaction (the "Other Surviving Corporation") in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the voting securities of the Company immediately before such Other Transaction or (b) the individuals who were members of the Company's Board of Directors immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Other Transaction constitute less than a majority of the members of the board of directors or the board of trustees, as the case may be, of the Other Surviving Corporation, or of a corporation or other entity beneficially directly or indirectly owning a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Other Surviving Corporation, provided, however, that an Other Transaction shall not be deemed to result in a Change of Control of the Company if immediately prior thereto the circumstances in (i)(a) or (i)(b) above exist.

        For purposes of this Option, "Cause" shall mean (unless a different definition is used in the Holder's written employment agreement with the Company, if any, in which case such different definition shall apply to the Holder) any of the following:

        (i)    material breach by the Holder of his or her employment agreement, if any, or material failure by the Holder to perform his or her duties (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) during his or her employment with the Company after written notice of such breach or failure and the Holder failed to cure such breach or failure to the Company's reasonable satisfaction within five (5) days after receiving such written notice;

18

---

        (ii)  material breach by the Holder of his or her Employee Proprietary Information Agreement or other similar arrangement entered into by the Holder in connection with his or her employment by the Company; or

        (iii)  any act of fraud, misappropriation, misuse, embezzlement or any other material act of dishonesty in respect of the Company or its funds, properties, assets or other employees.

        8.    Employment Violation.    In consideration of the granting of this Option, the Holder hereby agrees that the terms of this paragraph (h) shall apply to the Option. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that each exercise of this Option and each written notice of exercise delivered to the Company and executed by the Holder shall serve as a reaffirmation of and continuing agreement by the Holder to comply with the terms contained in this paragraph (h).

        The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that if the Holder is or shall become subject to an employment agreement with the Company and the Holder materially breaches his or her employment agreement (it being understood that any breach of the post-termination obligations contained therein shall be deemed to be material) for so long as the terms of such employment agreement shall apply to the Holder (each, an "Employment Violation"), the Company shall have the right to require (i) the termination and cancellation of the unexercised portion of this Option, if any, whether vested or unvested, and (ii) payment by the Holder to the Company of the Recapture Amount (as defined below). The Company and the Holder further agree that such termination of unexercised Options and payment of the Recapture Amount, as the case may be, shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy available to the Company arising out of or in connection with any such Employment Violation including, without limitation, the right to terminate the Holder's employment if not already terminated, seek injunctive relief and additional monetary damages.

        For purposes of this Option, the "Recapture Amount" shall mean the gross gain realized or unrealized by the Holder upon each exercise of this Option during the period beginning on the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Holder's Employment Violation and ending on the date of computation (the "Look-back Period"), which gain shall be calculated as the sum of:

        (i)    if the Holder has exercised any portion of this Option during the Look-back Period and sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, an amount equal to the product of (x) the sales price per Share sold less the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which this Option was exercised and which were sold at such sales price; plus

        (ii)  if the Holder has exercised any portion of this Option during the Look-back Period and not sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, with respect to each of such Shares an amount equal to the product of (x) the greatest of the following: (1) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of exercise, (2) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Company's written notice of its exercise of its rights under this paragraph (h), or (3) the arithmetice average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of computation, minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which this Option was exercised and which were not sold;

provided, however, in lieu of payment by the Holder to the Company of the Recapture Amount determined pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Holder, in his or her discretion, may tender to the Company the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option during the Look-back Period and not sold and the Holder shall not be entitled to receive any consideration from the Company in exchange therefor.

        9.    Adjustments.    In the event that the Company shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of common stock of the Company, other securities, or

19

---

other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of common stock of the Company or other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares, such that an adjustment is determined by the Company to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to the Holder, then the Company shall, in such manner as the Company may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of shares of common stock of the Company subject to this Option, and (ii) the grant or exercise price with respect to this Option, or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the Holder.

        10.    Delivery of Share Certificates.    Within a reasonable time after the exercise of this Option, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the person entitled thereto a certificate for the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of this Option. If this Option shall have been exercised with respect to less than all of the Shares subject to this Option, the Company shall also cause to be delivered to the person entitled thereto a new Option Certificate in replacement of this Option Certificate if surrendered at the time of the exercise of this Option, indicating the number of Shares with respect to which this Option remains available for exercise, or the Company shall make a notation in its books and records to reflect the partial exercise of this Option.

        11.    Withholding.    In the event that the Holder elects to exercise this Option or any part thereof, and if the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company shall be required to withhold any amounts by reasons of any federal, state or local tax laws, rules or regulations in respect of the issuance of Shares to the Holder pursuant to this Option, the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amounts from any payments to be made to the Holder. In any event, the Holder shall make available to the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate, promptly when requested by the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate, sufficient funds to meet the requirements of such withholding; and the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate shall be entitled to take and authorize such steps as it may deem advisable in order to have such funds available to the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate out of any funds or property due or to become due to the Holder.

        12.    Reservation of Shares.    The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Option such number of Shares as shall be required for issuance or delivery upon exercise hereof.

        13.    Rights of Holder.    Nothing contained herein shall be construed to confer upon the Holder any right to be continued in the employ of the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or derogate from any right of the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to retire, request the resignation of, or discharge the Holder at any time, with or without cause. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed herein and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

        14.    Exclusion from Pension Computations.    By acceptance of the grant of this Option, the Holder hereby agrees that any income realized upon the receipt or exercise hereof, or upon the disposition of the Shares received upon its exercise, is special incentive compensations and, to the extent permissible under applicable law, shall not be taken into account as "wages", "salary" or "compensation" in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement, incentive, profit sharing, bonus or deferred compensation plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

        15.    Registration; Legend.    The Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of Shares upon any exercise of this Option until (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange or exchanges on which Shares of the Company of the same class are then listed and (b) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation

20

---

as the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable. The Holder shall make such representations and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company, in light of the then existence or non-existence with respect to such Shares of an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to issue the Shares in compliance with the provisions of that or any comparable act.

        The Company may cause the following or a similar legend to be set forth on each certificate representing Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Option unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such certificate that such legend is unnecessary:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS ESTABLISHED BY AN OPINION FROM COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY.

        16.    Amendment.    The Company may at any time or from time to time amend the terms of the Plan, and may, with the consent of the Holder, at any time or from time to time amend the terms and conditions of this Option, provided, however, that in no instance may the exercise price of this Option be reduced after the date of grant (except in connection with adjustments pursuant to Section 10.9 of the Plan).

        17.    Notices.    Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give to the other shall be in writing, and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, or overnight courier, addressed as follows: if to the Company, at its office at 3100 Ocean Park Blvd., Santa Monica, California 90405, Attn: General Counsel, or at such other address as the Company by notice to the Holder may designate in writing from time to time; and if to the Holder, at the address shown below his or her signature on this Option Certificate, or at such other address as the Holder by notice to the Company may designate in writing from time to time. Notices shall be effective upon receipt.

        18.    Interpretation.    A determination of the Company as to any questions which may arise with respect to the interpretation of the provisions of this Option and of the Plan shall be final and binding. The Company may authorize and establish such rules, regulations and revisions thereof as it may deem advisable.

Exhibit 10.2

As Adopted by the Board of Directors
on July 11, 2001, and amended on
October 17, 2001, and July 22, 2002

ACTIVISION, INC.


2001 INCENTIVE PLAN

        ACTIVISION, INC., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), hereby establishes and adopts the following 2001 Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

RECITALS

        WHEREAS, the Company desires to encourage high levels of performance by those individuals who are key to the success of the Company, to attract new individuals who are highly motivated and who will contribute to the success of the Company and to encourage such individuals to remain as directors and/or employees of the Company and its subsidiaries by increasing their proprietary interest in the Company's growth and success.

        WHEREAS, to attain these ends, the Company has formulated the Plan embodied herein to authorize the granting of incentive awards through grants of share options ("Options"), grants of share appreciation rights, grants of Share Purchase Awards (hereafter defined), grants of Restricted Share Awards (hereafter defined), grants of Performance-Based Awards (hereafter defined), or any other award made under the Plan to those persons (each such person, a "Participant") whose judgment, initiative and efforts are or have been or will be responsible for the success of the Company.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby constitutes, establishes and adopts the following Plan and agrees to the following provisions:

ARTICLE 1.


PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

        1.1.    Purpose.    The purpose of the Plan is to assist the Company and its subsidiaries in attracting and retaining selected individuals to serve as directors, officers, consultants, advisors and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who will contribute to the Company's success and to achieve long-term objectives which will inure to the benefit of all shareholders of the Company through the additional incentive inherent in the ownership or increased ownership of the Company's shares of common stock ("Shares"). Options granted under the Plan will be either "incentive share options," intended to qualify as such under the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the "Code"), or "nonqualified share options." For purposes of the Plan, the term "subsidiary" shall mean "subsidiary corporation," as such term is defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, and "affiliate" shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). For purposes of the Plan, the term "Award" shall mean a grant of an Option, a grant of a share appreciation right, a grant of a Share Purchase Award, a grant of a Restricted Share Award, or any other award made under the terms of the Plan.

ARTICLE 2.


SHARES SUBJECT TO AWARDS

        2.1.    Number of Shares.    Subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 10.9 hereof, the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued under Awards under the Plan, whether pursuant to Options, share appreciation rights, Share Purchase Awards, Restricted Share Awards or Performance-Based Awards shall not exceed 2,250,000. No Options to purchase fractional Shares shall be granted or

---

issued under the Plan. For purposes of this Section 2.1, the Shares that shall be counted toward such limitation shall include all Shares:

(1)

issued or issuable pursuant to Options that have been or may be exercised;



(2)

issued or issuable pursuant to Share Purchase Awards;



(3)

issued as, or subject to issuance as a Restricted Share Award; and



(4)

issued or issuable under any other Award granted under the terms of the Plan.

        2.2.    Shares Subject to Terminated Awards.    The Shares covered by any unexercised portions of terminated Options granted under Articles 4 and 6, Shares forfeited as provided in Section 8.2(a) and Shares subject to any Awards which are otherwise surrendered by the Participant without receiving any payment or other benefit with respect thereto may again be subject to new Awards under the Plan, other than grants of Options intended to qualify as incentive share options. In the event the purchase price of an Option is paid in whole or in part through the delivery of Shares, the number of Shares issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option shall not again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. Shares subject to Options, or portions thereof, which have been surrendered in connection with the exercise of share appreciation rights shall not again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan.

        2.3.    Character of Shares.    Shares delivered under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Shares or Shares acquired by the Company, or both.

        2.4.    Limitations on Grants to Individual Participant.    Subject to adjustments pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.9 hereof, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options or stock appreciation rights may be granted hereunder to any employee during any fiscal year of the Company shall be 500,000 Shares (the "Limitation"). If an Option is cancelled, the cancelled Option shall continue to be counted toward the Limitation for the year granted. An Option (or a stock appreciation right) that is repriced during any fiscal year is treated as the cancellation of the Option (or stock appreciation right) and a grant of a new Option (or stock appreciation right) for purposes of the Limitation for that fiscal year.

ARTICLE 3.


ELIGIBILITY AND ADMINISTRATION

        3.1.    Awards to Employees, Directors and Others.    (a)    Participants who receive (i) Options under Articles 4 and 6 hereof or share appreciation rights under Article 5 ("Optionees"), and (ii) Share Purchase Awards under Article 7, Restricted Share Awards under Article 8, Deferred Share Awards (as defined herein) under Article 9, Performance-Based Awards under Article 11, or any other Award granted under the Plan shall consist of such officers, key employees, consultants, advisors and Directors (as defined in Section 3.2 below) of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates as the Committee (as defined in Section 3.2 below) shall select from time to time. The Committee's designation of an Optionee or Participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such person to receive Awards or grants in any other year. The designation of an Optionee or Participant to receive Awards or grants under one portion of the Plan shall not require the Committee to include such Optionee or Participant under other portions of the Plan.

        (b)  No Option that is intended to qualify as an "incentive share option" may be granted (x) to any individual that is not an employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, or (y) to any employee who, at the time of such grant, owns, directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code), shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, unless at the time of such grant, (i) the option price is fixed at not less than 110% of the

2

---

Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 10.2 below) of the Shares subject to such Option, determined on the date of the grant, and (ii) the exercise of such Option is prohibited by its terms after the expiration of five years from the date such Option is granted.

        3.2.    Administration.    (a)    The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the "Committee") consisting of not fewer than two Directors of the Company (the directors of the Company being hereinafter referred to as the "Directors"), as designated by the Directors. The Directors may remove from, add members to, or fill vacancies in the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors, each member of the Committee will be a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule) of the Exchange Act and an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, any Award to a member of the Committee must be approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (excluding Directors who are also members of the Committee) to be effective.

        (b)  The Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for the conduct of meetings and proper administration of the Plan. All actions of the Committee shall be taken by majority vote of its members.

        (c)  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to grant Awards under the Plan, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and, subject to the requirements of applicable law, including Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. The Committee shall have no authority to reduce the exercise price of any Options or share appreciation rights granted under the Plan (except in connection with adjustments pursuant to Section 10.9 below). 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, its shareholders, Directors and employees, and other Plan participants.

ARTICLE 4.


OPTIONS

        4.1.    Grant of Options.    The Committee shall determine, within the limitations of the Plan, those key officers, employees, consultants, advisors and Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to whom Options are to be granted under the Plan, the number of Shares that may be purchased under each such Option and the option price, and shall designate such Options at the time of the grant as either "incentive share options" or "nonqualified share options"; provided, however, that Options granted to employees of an affiliate (that is not also a subsidiary) or to non-employees of the Company may only be "nonqualified share options."

        4.2.    Share Option Agreements; etc.    All Options granted pursuant to Article 4 and Article 6 herein (a) shall be authorized by the Committee and (b) shall be evidenced in writing by share option agreements ("Share Option Agreements") in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, and, with respect to any Share Option Agreement granting Options that are intended to qualify as "incentive share options," are not inconsistent with Section 422 of the Code. Granting of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall impose no obligation on the recipient to exercise such Option. Any individual who is granted an Option pursuant to this Article 4 and Article 6 herein may hold more than one Option granted pursuant to such Articles at the same time and may hold both "incentive share options" and "nonqualified share options" at the same time. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an "incentive share option" (whether because of its provisions, the time or manner of its exercise or

3

---

otherwise) such Option or the portion thereof which does not so qualify shall constitute a separate "nonqualified share option."

        4.3.    Option Price.    Subject to Section 3.1(b), the option exercise price per each Share purchasable under any "incentive share option" granted pursuant to this Article 4, any "nonqualified share option" granted pursuant to Article 6, and Options intended to be performance-based under Section 162(m) of the Code shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date of the grant of such Option. The option exercise price per share of each Share purchasable under any "nonqualified share option" that is not intended to be performance-based under Section 162(m) of the Code and is granted pursuant to this Article 4 shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of such Option, but shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date of the grant of such Option.

        4.4.    Other Provisions.    Options granted pursuant to this Article 4 shall be made in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article 10 hereof and any other applicable terms and provisions of the Plan.

ARTICLE 5.


SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS

        5.1.    Grant and Exercise.    Share appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan, as follows: (i) in the case of a nonqualified share option, such rights may be granted either at the time of the grant of such option or at any subsequent time during the term of the option; and (ii) in the case of an incentive share option, such rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of such option. A "share appreciation right" is a right to receive cash or whole Shares, as provided in this Article 5, in lieu of the purchase of a Share under a related Option. A share appreciation right or applicable portion thereof shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Option, and a share appreciation right granted with respect to less than the full number of Shares covered by a related Option shall not be reduced until, and then only to the extent that, the exercise or termination of the related Option exceeds the number of Shares not covered by the share appreciation right. A share appreciation right may be exercised by the holder thereof (the "Holder"), in accordance with Section 5.2 of this Article 5, by giving written notice thereof to the Company and surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon giving such notice and surrender, the Holder shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in Section 5.2 of this Article 5. Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related share appreciation rights have been exercised.

        5.2.    Terms and Conditions.    Share appreciation rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee, including the following:

        (a)  Share appreciation rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

        (b)  Upon the exercise of a share appreciation right, a Holder shall be entitled to receive up to, but no more than, an amount in cash or whole Shares as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of one Share over the option exercise price per Share specified in the related Option multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the share appreciation right shall have been exercised. The Holder shall specify in his written notice of exercise, whether payment shall be made in cash or in whole Shares. Each

4

---

share appreciation right may be exercised only at the time and so long as a related Option, if any, would be exercisable or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

        (c)  Upon the exercise of a share appreciation right, the Option or part thereof to which such share appreciation right is related shall be deemed to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation of the number of Shares to be issued under the Plan, as set forth in Section 2.1 of the Plan.

        (d)  With respect to share appreciation rights granted in connection with an Option that is intended to be an "incentive share option," the following shall apply:

        (i)    No share appreciation right shall be transferable by a Holder otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and share appreciation rights shall be exercisable, during the Holder's lifetime, only by the Holder.

        (ii)  Share appreciation rights granted in connection with an Option may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option exceeds the option exercise price at which Shares can be acquired pursuant to the Option.

ARTICLE 6.


RELOAD OPTIONS

        6.1.    Authorization of Reload Options.    Concurrently with the award of any Option (such Option hereinafter referred to as the "Underlying Option") to any Participant in the Plan, the Committee may grant one or more reload options (each, a "Reload Option") to such Participant to purchase for cash or Shares (held for at least six months or such other period to avoid accounting charges against the Company's earnings) a number of Shares as specified below. A Reload Option shall be exercisable for an amount of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares delivered by the Optionee to the Company to exercise the Underlying Option, and (ii) to the extent authorized by the Committee, the number of Shares used to satisfy any tax withholding requirement incident to the exercise of the Underlying Option, subject to the availability of Shares under the Plan at the time of such exercise. Any Reload Option may provide for the grant, when exercised, of subsequent Reload Options to the extent and upon such terms and conditions consistent with this Article 6, as the Committee in its sole discretion shall specify at or after the time of grant of such Reload Option. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, a Reload Option will vest and become exercisable six months after the exercise of an Underlying Option or Reload Option by the Participant delivering to the Company Shares owned by the Optionee for at least six months in payment of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations. Notwithstanding the fact that the Underlying Option may be an "incentive share option," a Reload Option is not intended to qualify as an "incentive share option" under Section 422 of the Code.

        6.2.    Reload Option Amendment.    Each Share Option Agreement shall state whether the Committee has authorized Reload Options with respect to the Underlying Option. Upon the exercise of an Underlying Option or other Reload Option, the Reload Option will be evidenced by an amendment to the underlying Share Option Agreement.

        6.3.    Reload Option Price.    The option exercise price per Share payable upon the exercise of a Reload Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the corresponding Underlying Option is exercised.

        6.4.    Term and Exercise.    Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, each Reload Option vests and is fully exercisable six months after its grant (i.e., six months after the corresponding Underlying Option is exercised). The term of each Reload Option shall be equal to the remaining option term of the Underlying Option.

5

---

        6.5.    Termination of Employment.    No additional Reload Options shall be granted to Optionees when Options and/or Reload Options are exercised pursuant to the terms of this Plan following termination of the Optionee's employment unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine otherwise.

        6.6.    Applicability of Other Sections.    Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6, the provisions of Article 9 applicable to Options shall apply equally to Reload Options.

ARTICLE 7.


SHARE PURCHASE AWARDS

        7.1.    Grant of Share Purchase Award.    The term "Share Purchase Award" means the right to purchase Shares of the Company and to pay for such Shares through a loan made by the Company to the Participant (a "Purchase Loan") as set forth in this Article 7.

        7.2.    Terms of Purchase Loans.    (a)    Purchase Loan.    Each Purchase Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note. The term of the Purchase Loan shall be for a period of years, as determined by the Committee, and the proceeds of the Purchase Loan shall be used exclusively by the Participant for purchase of Shares from the Company at a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value on the date of the Share Purchase Award.

        (b)  Interest on Purchase Loan.    A Purchase Loan shall be non-interest bearing or shall bear interest at whatever rate the Committee shall determine (but not in excess of the maximum rate permissible under applicable law), payable in a manner and at such times as the Committee shall determine. Those terms and provisions as the Committee shall determine shall be incorporated into the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan.

        (c)  Forgiveness of Purchase Loan.    Subject to Section 7.4 hereof, the Company may forgive the repayment of up to 100% of the principal amount of the Purchase Loan, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine and set forth in the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan. A Participant's Purchase Loan can be prepaid at any time, and from time to time, without penalty.

        7.3.    Security for Loans.    (a)    Stock Power and Pledge.    Purchase Loans granted to Participants shall be secured by a pledge of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Share Purchase Award. Such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement (the "Pledge Agreement") containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Purchase Loans shall be recourse or non-recourse with respect to a Participant, as determined from time to time by the Committee. The share certificates for the Shares purchased by a Participant pursuant to a Share Purchase Award shall be issued in the Participant's name, but shall be held by the Company as security for repayment of the Participant's Purchase Loan together with a stock power executed in blank by the Participant (the execution and delivery of which by the Participant shall be a condition to the issuance of the Share Purchase Award). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant shall be entitled to exercise all rights applicable to such Shares, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive dividends and other distributions made with respect to such Shares. When the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon has been repaid or otherwise satisfied in full, the Company shall deliver to the Participant the share certificates for the Shares purchased by a Participant under the Share Purchase Award.

        (b)  Release and Delivery of Share Certificates During the Term of the Purchase Loan.    The Company shall release and deliver to each Participant certificates for Shares purchased by a Participant pursuant to a Share Purchase Award, in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, which shall be set forth in the Pledge Agreement.

---

        (c)  Release and Delivery of Share Certificates Upon Repayment of the Purchase Loan.    The Company shall release and deliver to each Participant certificates for the Shares purchased by the Participant under the Share Purchase Award and then held by the Company, provided the Participant has paid or otherwise satisfied in full the balance of the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon. In the event the balance of the Purchase Loan is not repaid, forgiven or otherwise satisfied within 90 days after (i) the date repayment of the Purchase Loan is due (whether in accordance with its term, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), or (ii) such longer time as the Committee, in its discretion, shall provide for repayment or satisfaction, the Company shall retain those Shares then held by the Company in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.

        (d)  Recourse Purchase Loans.    Notwithstanding Sections 7.3(a), (b) and (c) above, in the case of a recourse Purchase Loan, the Committee may make a Purchase Loan on such terms as it determines, including without limitation, not requiring a pledge of the acquired Shares.

        7.4.    Termination of Employment.    (a)    Termination of Employment by Death, Disability or by the Company Without Cause; Change of Control.    In the event of a Participant's termination of employment or separation from service by reason of death, "disability" or by the Company without "cause," or in the event of a "change of control," the Committee shall have the right (but shall not be required) to forgive the remaining unpaid amount (principal and interest) of the Purchase Loan in whole or in part as of the date of such occurrence. "Change of Control," "disability" and "cause" shall have the respective meanings as set forth in the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan.

        (b)  Other Termination of Employment.    Subject to Section 7.4(a) above, in the event of a Participant's termination of employment or separation from service for any reason, the Participant shall repay to the Company the entire balance of the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, which amounts shall become immediately due and payable, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

        7.5.    Restrictions on Transfer.    No Share Purchase Award or Shares purchased through such an Award and pledged to the Company as collateral security for the Participant's Purchase Loan (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) may be otherwise pledged, sold, assigned or transferred (other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution).

ARTICLE 8.


RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS

        8.1.    Restricted Share Awards.    (a)    Grant.    A grant of Shares made pursuant to this Article 8 is referred to as a "Restricted Share Award." The Committee may grant to any Participant an amount of Shares in such manner, and subject to such terms and conditions relating to vesting, forfeitability and restrictions on delivery and transfer (whether based on performance standards, periods of service or otherwise) as the Committee shall establish (such Shares, "Restricted Shares"). The terms of any Restricted Share Award granted under this Plan shall be set forth in a written agreement (a "Restricted Share Agreement") which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with this Plan. The provisions of Restricted Share Awards need not be the same for each Participant receiving such Awards.

        (b)  Issuance of Restricted Shares.    As soon as practicable after the date of grant of a Restricted Share Award by the Committee, the Company shall cause to be transferred on the books of the Company, Shares registered in the name of the Company, as nominee for the Participant, evidencing the Restricted Shares covered by the Award; provided, however, such Shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the Company retroactive to the date of grant, if a Restricted Share Agreement delivered to the Participant by the Company with respect to the

7

---

Restricted Shares covered by the Award is not duly executed by the Participant and timely returned to the Company. All Restricted Shares covered by Awards under this Article 8 shall be subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions contained in the Plan and the Restricted Share Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Participant. Until the lapse or release of all restrictions applicable to an Award of Restricted Shares, the share certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall be held in custody by the Company or its designee.

        (c)  Shareholder Rights.    Beginning on the date of grant of the Restricted Share Award and subject to execution of the Restricted Share Agreement as provided in Sections 8.1(a) and (b), the Participant shall become a shareholder of the Company with respect to all Shares subject to the Restricted Share Agreement and shall have all of the rights of a shareholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive distributions made with respect to such Shares; provided, however, that any Shares or any other property (other than cash) distributed as a dividend or otherwise with respect to any Restricted Shares as to which the restrictions have not yet lapsed shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted Shares and shall be represented by book entry and held as prescribed in Section 8.1(b).

        (d)  Restriction on Transferability.    None of the Restricted Shares may be assigned or transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or sold prior to lapse or release of the restrictions applicable thereto.

        (e)  Delivery of Shares Upon Release of Restrictions.    Upon expiration or earlier termination of the forfeiture period without a forfeiture and the satisfaction of or release from any other conditions prescribed by the Committee, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares shall lapse. As promptly as administratively feasible thereafter, subject to the requirements of Section 12.1, the Company shall deliver to the Participant or, in case of the Participant's death, to the Participant's beneficiary, one or more stock certificates for the appropriate number of Shares, free of all such restrictions, except for any restrictions that may be imposed by law.

        8.2.    Terms of Restricted Shares.    (a)    Forfeiture of Restricted Shares.    Subject to Section 8.2(b), all Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Company and all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Shares shall terminate unless the Participant continues in the service of the Company as an employee until the expiration of the forfeiture period for such Restricted Shares and satisfies any and all other conditions set forth in the Restricted Share Agreement. The Committee in its sole discretion, shall determine the forfeiture period (which may, but need not, lapse in installments) and any other terms and conditions applicable with respect to any Restricted Share Award and the Committee has the discretion to modify the terms and conditions of a Restricted Share award as long as the rights of the Participant are not impaired.

        (b)  Waiver of Forfeiture Period.    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to the limitations imposed under Section 162(m) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder in the case of a Restricted Share Award intended to comply with the performance-based exception under Code Section 162(m), waive the forfeiture period and any other conditions set forth in any Restricted Share Agreement under appropriate circumstances (including the death, disability or retirement of the Participant or a material change in circumstances arising after the date of an Award) and subject to such terms and conditions (including forfeiture of a proportionate number of the Restricted Shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

ARTICLE 9.


DEFERRED SHARE AWARDS

        9.1.    Shares and Administration.    Awards of the right to receive Shares that are not to be distributed to the Participant until after a specified deferral period (such Award and the deferred Shares delivered thereunder hereinafter as the context shall require, the "Deferred Shares") may be made either alone or in addition to share Options, share appreciation rights, or Restricted Share Awards, or Other Share-based Awards (hereafter defined) granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the Directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries to whom and the time or times at which Deferred Shares shall be awarded, the number of Deferred Shares to be awarded to any Participant, the duration of the period (the "Deferral Period") during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the Shares will be deferred, and the terms and conditions of the award in addition to those contained in Section 9.2. In its sole discretion, the Committee may provide for a minimum payment at the end of the applicable Deferral Period based on a stated percentage of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of the number of Shares covered by a Deferred Share award. The Committee may also provide for the grant of Deferred Shares upon the completion of a specified performance period. The provisions of Deferred Share awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

        9.2.    Terms and Conditions.    Deferred Share awards made pursuant to this Article 9 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

        (a)  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Shares to be issued pursuant to a Deferred Share award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the Deferral Period or Elective Deferral Period (defined below), where applicable, and may be subject to a risk of forfeiture during all or such portion of the Deferral Period as shall be specified by the Committee. At the expiration of the Deferral Period and Elective Deferral Period, share certificates shall be delivered to the Participant, or the Participant's legal representative, in a number equal to the number of shares covered by the Deferred Share award.

        (b)  Amounts equal to any dividends declared during the Deferral Period with respect to the number of Shares covered by a Deferred Share award will be paid to the Participant currently, or deferred and deemed to be reinvested in additional deferred Shares or otherwise reinvested, as determined at the time of the Award by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

        (c)  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 9.2(d) of this Article 9, upon termination of employment for any reason during the Deferral Period for a given Award, the Deferred Shares in question shall be forfeited by the Participant.

        (d)  In the event of the Participant's death or permanent disability during the Deferral Period (or Elective Deferral Period, where applicable), or in cases of special circumstances, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all of the remaining deferral limitations imposed hereunder with respect to any or all of the Participant's Deferred Shares.

        (e)  Prior to completion of the Deferral Period, a Participant may elect to further defer receipt of the Award for a specified period or until a specified event (the "Elective Deferral Period"), subject in each case to the approval of the Committee and under such terms as are determined by the Committee, all in its sole discretion.

        (f)    Each Award shall be confirmed by a Deferred Share agreement or other instrument executed by the Company and the Participant.

ARTICLE 10.


GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS

        10.1.    Option Period.    Subject to Section 3.1(b), the period for which an Option is exercisable shall be set by the Committee and shall not exceed ten years from the date such Option is granted, provided, however, in the case of an Option that is not intended to be an "incentive share option," the Committee may prescribe a period in excess of ten years. After the Option is granted, the option period may not be reduced, subject to expiration due to termination of employment or otherwise.

        10.2.    Fair Market Value.    The "Fair Market Value" of a Share shall be determined in good faith by the Committee in its sole discretion from time to time. In no case shall Fair Market Value be less than the par value of a Share. An Option shall be considered granted on the date the Committee acts to grant the Option or such later date as the Committee shall specify.

        10.3.    Exercise of Options.    Vested Options granted under the Plan shall be exercised by the Optionee or by a Permitted Assignee thereof (or by his or her executors, administrators, guardian or legal representative, as provided in Sections 10.6 and 10.7 hereof) as to all or part of the Shares covered thereby, by the giving of written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment of the full purchase price for the Shares being purchased. Full payment of such purchase price shall be made at the time of exercise and shall be made (i) in cash or by certified check or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) with the consent of the Committee, by delivery of a promissory note in favor of the Company upon such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee, (iii) with the consent of Committee, by tendering previously acquired Shares (valued at its Fair Market Value, as determined by the Committee as of the date of tender) that have been owned for a period of at least six months (or such other period to avoid accounting charges against the Company's earnings), (iv) if Shares are 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, Inc. and the Committee authorizes this method of exercise, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker approved by the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the purchase price, or (v) with the consent of the Committee, any combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). In connection with a tender of previously acquired Shares pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the Optionee to constructively exchange Shares already owned by the Optionee in lieu of actually tendering such Shares to the Company, provided that adequate documentation concerning the ownership of the Shares to be constructively tendered is furnished in form satisfactory to the Committee. The notice of exercise, accompanied by such payment, shall be delivered to the Company at its principal business office or such other office as the Committee may from time to time direct, and shall be in such form, containing such further provisions consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee may from time to time prescribe. In no event may any Option granted hereunder be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Company shall, subject to Section 10.4 herein, effect the transfer of Shares purchased pursuant to an Option as soon as practicable, and, within a reasonable time thereafter, such transfer shall be evidenced on the books of the Company. No person exercising an Option shall have any of the rights of a holder of Shares subject to an Option until certificates for such Shares shall have been issued following the exercise of such Option. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

        10.4.    Transferability.    No Option that is intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the Code shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Option may be exercised during the life of the Optionee only by the Optionee or his guardian or legal representative. "Non-qualified share options" and any share appreciation rights granted in tandem therewith are transferable (together and not separately) with the consent of the Committee by the Optionee or Holder, as the case may be, to any one or more of the

10

---

following persons (each, a "Permitted Assignee"): (i) the spouse, parent, issue, spouse of issue, or issue of spouse ("issue" shall include all descendants whether natural or adopted) of such Optionee or Holder, as the case may be; (ii) a trust for the benefit of one or more of those persons described in clause (i) above or for the benefit of such Optionee or Holder, as the case may be; (iii) an entity in which the Optionee or Holder or any Permitted Assignee thereof is a beneficial owner; or (iv) in the case of a transfer by an Optionee who is a non-employee director, another non-employee director of the Company; provided that such Permitted Assignee shall be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the Share Option Agreement relating to the transferred Option and shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the Company evidencing such obligations; and provided further that such Optionee or Holder shall remain bound by the terms and conditions of this Plan. In the case of a transfer by a non-employee director to another non-employee director, the vesting and exercisability shall after such transfer be determined by reference to the service of the assignee, rather than the assignor. The Company shall cooperate with any Permitted Assignee and the Company's transfer agent in effectuating any transfer permitted under this Section 10.4.

        10.5.    Termination of Employment.    Unless the Committee determines otherwise, in the event of the termination of employment of an Optionee or the termination or separation from service of an advisor, consultant or a Director (who is an Optionee) for any reason (other than death or disability as provided below), any Option(s) held by such Optionee (or Permitted Assignee) under this Plan and not previously exercised or expired shall be deemed cancelled and terminated on the day of such termination or separation, provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, if extended by the Committee, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the termination or separation from service of an Optionee for any reason other than death or disability, under conditions satisfactory to the Company, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow any "nonqualified share options" granted to such Optionee under the Plan and not previously exercised or expired to be exercisable for a period of time to be specified by the Committee, provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 10.1 above.

        10.6.    Death.    In the event an Optionee dies while employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or during his term as a Director, advisor or consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, as the case may be, any Option(s) held by such Optionee (or his Permitted Assignee) and not previously expired or exercised shall, to the extent exercisable on the date of death, be exercisable by the estate of such Optionee or by any person who acquired such Option by bequest or inheritance, or by the Permitted Assignee at any time within one year after the death of the Optionee, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after the Optionee's death, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after the Optionee's death, provided further, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 above.

        10.7.    Disability.    In the event of the termination of employment of an Optionee or the separation from service of a Director (who is an Optionee), advisor or consultant of the Company, due to total disability, the Optionee, or his guardian or legal representative, or a Permitted Assignee shall have the unqualified right to exercise any Option(s) that have not expired or been previously exercised and that the Optionee was eligible to exercise as of the first date of total disability (as determined by the Committee), at any time within one year after such termination or separation, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after such termination or separation, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after such termination or separation, provided further, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to

11

---

Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 above. The term "total disability" shall, for purposes of this Plan, be defined in the same manner as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

        10.8.    Amendment and Modification of the Plan.    The Committee may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for shareholder approval imposed by applicable law or any rule of any stock exchange or quotation system on which Shares are listed or quoted; provided that the Committee may not amend the Plan, without the approval of the Company's shareholders, to increase the number of Shares that may be the subject of Options under the Plan (except for adjustments pursuant to Section 10.9 hereof). In addition, no amendments to, or termination of, the Plan shall in any way impair the rights of an Optionee or a Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) under any Award previously granted without such Optionee's or Participant's consent.

        10.9.    Adjustments.    In the event that the Committee 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, or exchange of Shares or other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares with respect to which Awards have been or may be issued under the Plan, such that an adjustment is determined in good faith by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and share appreciation rights, and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award, or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of any outstanding Award; provided, in each case, that with respect to "incentive stock options," no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause such options to violate Section 422(b) of the Code or any successor provision; and provided further, that the number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number. In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or other business combination involving the Company (collectively, a "Reorganization"), the Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company may cause any Award outstanding as of the effective date of the Reorganization to be cancelled in consideration of a cash payment or alternate Award (whether from the Company or another entity that is a party to the Reorganization) or a combination thereof made to the holder of such cancelled Award substantially equivalent in value to the fair market value of such cancelled Award. The determination of fair market value shall be made by the Committee or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, in their sole discretion.

        10.10.    Change of Control.    The terms of any Award may provide in the Share Option Agreement, Restricted Share Agreement, Purchase Loan or other document evidencing the Award, that upon a "Change of Control" of the Company (as that term may be defined therein), (i) Options (and share appreciation rights) immediately vest and become fully exercisable, (ii) restrictions on Restricted Shares lapse and the shares become fully vested, (iii) Purchase Loans are forgiven in whole or in part, and (iv) such other additional benefits as the Committee deems appropriate shall apply, subject in each case to any terms and conditions contained in the applicable document evidencing such Award. For purposes of this Plan, a "Change of Control" shall mean an event described in the applicable document evidencing the Award or such other event as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Committee, in its discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company, each Option and share appreciation right outstanding hereunder shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Participant or Holder, and such Participant or Holder shall receive, with respect to each Share subject to such Option or share appreciation right, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Share

12

---

immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control over the exercise price per share of such Option or share appreciation right; such amount to be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including the property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.

        10.11.    Employment Violation.    Each Share Option Agreement evidencing an Option granted hereunder shall include and be subject to the following terms:

        (a)  The terms of this Section 10.11 shall apply to the Option if the Optionee is or shall become subject to an employment agreement with the Company.

        (b)  If the Optionee materially breaches his or her employment agreement (it being understood that any breach of the post-termination obligations contained therein shall be deemed to be material) for so long as the terms of such employment agreement shall apply to the Optionee (each an "Employment Violation"), the Company shall have the right to require (i) the termination and cancellation of the unexercised portion of the Option, if any, whether vested or unvested, and (ii) payment by the Optionee to the Company of the Recapture Amount (as defined below). Such termination of unexercised Options and payment of the Recapture Amount, as the case may be, shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy available to the Company arising out of or in connection with any such Employment Violation including, without limitation, the right to terminate Optionee's employment if not already terminated, seek injunctive relief and additional monetary damages.

        (c)  "Recapture Amount" shall mean the gross gain realized or unrealized by the Optionee upon each exercise of his Option during the period beginning on the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Optionee's Employment Violation and ending on the date of computation (the "Look-back Period"), which gain shall be calculated as the sum of:

        (i)    if the Optionee has exercised any portion of his Option during the Look-back Period and sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, an amount equal to the product of (x) the sales price per Share sold minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which the Option was exercised and which were sold at such sales price; plus

        (ii)  if the Optionee has exercised any portion of his Option during the Look-back Period and not sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, with respect to each of such Shares an amount equal to the product of (x) the greatest of the following: (1) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of exercise, (2) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Company's written notice of its exercise of its rights under this clause (h), or (3) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of computation, minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which this Option was exercised and which were not sold;

provided, however, in lieu of payment by the Optionee to the Company of the Recapture Amount determined pursuant to subclause (ii) above, the Optionee, in his or her discretion, may tender to the Company the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option during the Look-back Period and the Optionee shall not be entitled to receive any consideration from the Company in exchange therefor.

        With respect to any other Awards granted hereunder, the terms of any Restricted Share Agreement, share appreciation right, Share Purchase Award or any other document evidencing an Award under the Plan, may include comparable provisions to those set forth in this Section 10.11.

        10.12.    Other Provisions.    (a)    The Committee may require each Participant purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such

13

---

Participant is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

        (b)  All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject to such share-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other restrictions of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

        (c)  Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for, any other Awards granted under the Plan. If Awards are granted in substitution for other Awards, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Awards in consideration for the grant of the new Awards. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

        (d)  Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board of Directors from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

        (e)  A Participant shall have no right as a shareholder until he or she becomes the holder of record.

        (f)    The Company will provide to its shareholders, at least annually, reports containing financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations.

        10.13.    Terms of Option Grant.    Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.10 and 10.11 to the contrary, the Committee may grant an Option under such terms and conditions as may be provided in the Share Option Agreement given to the Optionee and the Committee has the discretion to modify the terms and conditions of an Option after grant as long as the rights of the Optionee are not impaired unless the Optionee otherwise consents, provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so granted, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 10.1 above, provided further that in no instance may the exercise price of the Option be reduced after the date of grant (except in connection with adjustments pursuant to Section 10.9 hereof).

ARTICLE 11.


PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS.

        11.1.    General.    (a)    Certain Awards granted under the Plan may be granted in a manner such that the Awards qualify as "performance-based compensation"(as such term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) and thus be exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code ("Performance-Based Awards"). Awards shall only qualify as Performance-Based Awards if, among other things, at the time of grant the Committee is comprised solely of two or more "outside directors" (as such term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder).

14

---

        (b)  Performance-Based Awards may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number, amount and timing of awards granted to each Participant. Such Performance-Based Awards may take the form of, without limitation, cash, Shares or any combination thereof.

        (c)  The Committee shall set performance goals at its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or value of such Performance-Based Awards that will be paid out to the Participants, and may attach to such Performance-Based Awards one or more restrictions. The maximum amount of Performance-Based Awards to be awarded to any employee during any fiscal year shall be $1,000,000.

        11.2.    Options and Share Appreciation Rights.    Options and share appreciation rights granted under the Plan with an exercise price at or above the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant should qualify as Performance-Based Awards.

        11.3.    Other Awards.    Either the granting or vesting of Performance-Based Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the achievement of a performance target or targets, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, based on one or more of the performance measures specified in Section 11.4 below. With respect to such Performance-Based Awards:

(1)

the Committee shall establish in writing (x) the objective performance-based goals applicable to a given period and (y) the individual employees or class of employees to which such performance-based goals apply no later than 90 days after the commencement of such period (but in no event after 25 percent of such period has elapsed);



(2)

no Performance-Based Awards shall be payable to or vest with respect to, as the case may be, any Participant for a given period until the Committee certifies in writing that the objective performance goals (and any other material terms) applicable to such period have been satisfied; and



(3)

after the establishment of a performance goal, the Committee shall not revise such performance goal or increase the amount of compensation payable thereunder (as determined in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code) upon the attainment of such performance goal.

        11.4.    Performance Measures.    The Committee may use the following performance measures (either individually or in any combination) to set performance targets with respect to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards: net sales; pretax income before allocation of corporate overhead and bonus; budget; earnings per share; net income; division, group or corporate financial goals; return on stockholders' equity; return on assets; attainment of strategic and operational initiatives; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the common stock or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company; market share; gross profits; earnings before taxes; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; economic value-added models; comparisons with various stock market indices; and/or reductions in costs.

ARTICLE 12.

MISCELLANEOUS

        12.1.    Tax Withholding.    The Company shall have the right to make all payments or distributions pursuant to the Plan to an Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) net of any applicable Federal, State and local taxes required to be paid as a result of the grant of any Award, exercise of an Option or share appreciation rights or any other event occurring pursuant to this Plan. The Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall have the right to withhold from wages or other

15

---

amounts otherwise payable to such Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) to pay such withholding taxes. If the Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Optionee or Participant or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. In satisfaction of the requirement to pay withholding taxes, the Optionee or Participant (or Permitted Assignee) may make a written election, which may be accepted or rejected in the discretion of the Committee, to have withheld a portion of the Shares then issuable to the Optionee (or Permitted Assignee) pursuant to the Plan having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding taxes.

        12.2.    Right of Discharge Reserved.    Nothing in the Plan nor the grant of an Award hereunder shall confer upon any employee, Director or other individual the right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or affect any right that the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company may have to terminate the employment or service of (or to demote or to exclude from future Options under the Plan) any such employee, Director or other individual at any time for any reason. Except as specifically provided by the Committee, the Company shall not be liable for the loss of existing or potential profit with respect to an Award in the event of termination of an employment or other relationship even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to the employee, Director, advisor or consultant.

        12.3.    Nature of Payments.    All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services performed or to be performed for the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. Any income or gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan and any share appreciation rights constitutes a special incentive payment to the Optionee, Participant or Holder and shall not be taken into account, to the extent permissible under applicable law, as compensation for purposes of any of the employee benefit plans of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company except as may be determined by the Committee or by the Directors or directors of the applicable subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

        12.4.    Unfunded Status of the Plan.    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 or Optionee by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant or Optionee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver the Shares or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.

        12.5.    Severability.    If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which remain in full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or provided under the Plan, and if the making of any payment in full or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, then such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent such payment or benefit from being made or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable shall be made or provided under the Plan.

16

---

        12.6.    Gender and Number.    In order to shorten and to improve the understandability of the Plan document by eliminating the repeated usage of such phrases as "his or her" and any masculine terminology herein shall also include the feminine, and the definition of any term herein in the singular shall also include the plural except when otherwise indicated by the context.

        12.7.    Governing Law.    The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken thereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed accordingly.

        12.8.    Effective Date of Plan; Termination of Plan.    The Plan shall be effective on the date of the approval of the Plan by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option intended to qualify as an incentive share option shall be granted hereunder until the Plan shall be approved by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon, provided such approval is obtained within 12 months after the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors. Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time and from time to time prior to July 10, 2011, on which date the Plan will expire except as to Awards and related share appreciation rights then outstanding under the Plan. Such outstanding Awards and share appreciation rights shall remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated, or have expired.

        12.9.    Captions.    The captions in this Plan are for convenience of reference only, and are not intended to narrow, limit or affect the substance or interpretation of the provisions contained herein.

        12.10.    Dissolution or Liquidation.    In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Committee shall notify each Optionee and Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Committee in its sole discretion may permit an Optionee to exercise an Option until ten days prior to such transaction with respect to all vested and exercisable Shares covered thereby and with respect to such number of unvested Shares as the Committee shall determine. In addition, the Committee may provide that any forfeiture provision or Company repurchase option applicable to any Restricted Share Award shall lapse as to such number of Shares as the Committee shall determine, contingent upon the occurrence of the proposed dissolution or liquidation at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent an Option has not been previously exercised, the Option shall terminate automatically immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed action. To the extent a forfeiture provision applicable to a Restricted Share Award has not been waived by the Committee, the related Restricted Share Award shall be forfeited automatically immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed action.

        12.11.    Successors and Assigns.    This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Company, Optionees and Participants.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(Non-Transferable)

Stock Option #

For            Shares

Issued Pursuant to the
2001 Incentive Plan of
ACTIVISION, INC.

        THIS CERTIFIES that on                        (the "Issuance Date")                        (the "Holder") was granted an option (the "Option") to purchase at the option price of $            per share, all or any part of                        fully paid and non-assessable shares ("Shares") of common stock, par value $.000001 per share, of ACTIVISION, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), upon and subject to the following terms and conditions:

        a.    Terms of the Plan.    The Option is granted pursuant to, and is subject to the terms and conditions of, the Company's 2001 Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan"), the terms, conditions and definitions of which are hereby incorporated herein as though set forth at length, and the receipt of a copy of which the Holder hereby acknowledges by his signature below. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan, unless otherwise defined herein.

        [The Company intends that this Option qualify as an "incentive" share option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code to the maximum extent permissible under the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that the Option does not qualify as an incentive share option, the Option or the portion thereof which does not so qualify shall constitute a separate "nonqualified" share option.]

        b.    Expiration.    This Option shall expire on [ten (10) years less one day from date of issuance], unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance herewith.

        c.    Exercise.    This Option may be exercised or surrendered during the Holder's lifetime only by the Holder or his/her guardian or legal representative. THIS OPTION SHALL NOT BE TRANSFERABLE BY THE HOLDER OTHERWISE THAN BY WILL OR BY THE LAWS OF DESCENT AND DISTRIBUTION, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN.

        This Option shall vest and be exercisable as follows:

Vesting Date		Shares Vested at Vesting Date		Cumulative Shares Vested at Vesting Date
[vesting schedule]

18

---

        This Option shall be exercised by the Holder (or by her executors, administrators, guardian or legal representative) as to all or part of the Shares, by the giving of written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment of the full purchase price for the Shares being purchased. Full payment of such purchase price shall be made at the time of exercise and shall be made (i) in cash or by certified check or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) with the consent of the Company, by tendering previously acquired Shares (valued at its Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan), as determined by the Company as of the date of tender), or (iii) with the consent of the Company, a combination of (i) and (ii). Such notice of exercise, accompanied by such payment, shall be delivered to the Company at its principal business office or such other office as the Company may from time to time direct, and shall be in such form, containing such further provisions as the Company may from time to time prescribe. In no event may this Option be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Company shall effect the transfer of Shares purchased pursuant to an Option as soon as practicable, and, within a reasonable time thereafter, such transfer shall be evidenced on the books of the Company. No person exercising this Option shall have any of the rights of a holder of Shares subject to this Option until certificates for such Shares shall have been issued following the exercise of such Option. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

        (d)    Termination of Employment.    In the event of the termination of employment or separation from service of the Holder for any reason (other than death or disability as provided below), this Option, to the extent not previously exercised or expired, shall be deemed cancelled and terminated on the day of such termination or separation, unless the Company decides, in its sole discretion, to extend the term of this Option, subject to the terms of the Plan.

        (e)    Death.    In the event the Holder dies while employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or during his term as a Director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, as the case may be, this Option, to the extent not previously expired or exercised, shall, to the extent exercisable on the date of death, be exercisable by the estate of the Holder or by any person who acquired this Option by bequest or inheritance, at any time within one year after the death of the Holder, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after the Optionee's death, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after the Optionee's death, provided further, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Sections 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 of the Plan.

        (f)    Disability.    In the event of the termination of employment of the Holder or the separation from service of a Director who is a Holder due to total disability, the Holder, or her guardian or legal representative, shall have the unqualified right to exercise any portion of this Option which has not been previously exercised or expired and which the Holder was eligible to exercise as of the first date of total disability (as determined by the Company), at any time within one year after such termination or separation, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after such termination or separation, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after such termination or separation, provided further, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 of the Plan. The term "total disability" shall, for purposes of this Share Option Agreement, be defined in the same manner as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        (g)    Change of Control.    If the Holder is an active employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at the time there occurs a "Change of Control" of the Company (as defined below) and the Holder's employment is terminated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than for Cause (as defined below) within twelve (12) months following such Change of Control, or such longer period as the Committee may determine, the portion, if any, of this Option with respect to which the right to exercise has not yet accrued, shall immediately vest and be exercisable in full, effective upon such

19

---

termination, for a period of 30 days thereafter, or such longer period as the Committee may determine. For purposes of this Option, a "Change of Control" of the Company shall be deemed to occur if:

        (i)    there shall have occurred a Change of Control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as in effect on the date hereof, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement, provided, however, that there shall not be deemed to be a Change of Control of the Company if immediately prior to the occurrence of what would otherwise be a Change of Control of the Company (a) the Holder is the other party to the transaction (a "Control Event") that would otherwise result in a Change of Control of the Company or (b) the Holder is an executive officer, trustee, director or more than 5% equity holder of the other party to the Control Event or of any entity, directly or indirectly, controlling such other party;

        (ii)  the Company merges or consolidates with, or sells all or substantially all of its assets to, another company (each, a "Transaction"), provided, however, that a Transaction shall not be deemed to result in a Change of Control of the Company if (a) immediately prior thereto the circumstances in (i)(a) or (i)(b) above exist, or (b) (1) the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such Transaction own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such Transaction in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Transaction (the "Surviving Corporation") in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the voting securities of the Company immediately before such Transaction and (2) the individuals who were members of the Company's Board of Directors immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Transaction constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors or the board of trustees, as the case may be, of the Surviving Corporation, or of a corporation or other entity beneficially directly or indirectly owning a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Surviving Corporation; or

        (iii)  the Company acquires assets of another company or a subsidiary of the Company merges or consolidates with another company (each, an "Other Transaction") and (a) the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such Other Transaction own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such Other Transaction 50% or less of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Other Transaction (the "Other Surviving Corporation") in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the voting securities of the Company immediately before such Other Transaction or (b) the individuals who were members of the Company's Board of Directors immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Other Transaction constitute less than a majority of the members of the board of directors or the board of trustees, as the case may be, of the Other Surviving Corporation, or of a corporation or other entity beneficially directly or indirectly owning a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Other Surviving Corporation, provided, however, that an Other Transaction shall not be deemed to result in a Change of Control of the Company if immediately prior thereto the circumstances in (i)(a) or (i)(b) above exist.

        For purposes of this clause (g), "Cause" shall mean (unless a different definition is used in the Holder's written employment agreement with the Company, if any, in which case such different definition shall apply to the Holder) any of the following:

        (i)    material breach by the Holder of his or her employment agreement, if any, or material failure by the Holder to perform his or her duties (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) during his or her employment with the Company after written notice of such breach or failure and the Holder failed to cure such breach or failure to the Company's reasonable satisfaction within five (5) days after receiving such written notice;

20

---

        (ii)  material breach by the Holder of his or her Employee Proprietary Information Agreement or other similar arrangement entered into by the Holder in connection with his or her employment by the Company; or

        (iii)  any act of fraud, misappropriation, misuse, embezzlement or any other material act of dishonesty in respect of the Company or its funds, properties, assets or other employees.

        (h)    Employment Violation.    In consideration of the granting and by acceptance of this Option, the Holder hereby agrees that the terms of this clause (h) shall apply to the Option. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that each exercise of this Option and each written notice of exercise delivered to the Company and executed by the Holder shall serve as a reaffirmation of and continuing agreement by the Holder to comply with the terms contained in this clause (h).

        The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that if the Holder materially breaches his or her employment agreement (it being understood that any breach of the post-termination obligations contained therein shall be deemed to be material) for so long as the terms of such employment agreement shall apply to the Holder (each an "Employment Violation"), the Company shall have the right to require (i) the termination and cancellation of the unexercised portion of this Option, if any, whether vested or unvested, and (ii) payment by the Holder to the Company of the Recapture Amount (as defined below). The Company and the Holder further agree that such termination of unexercised Options and payment of the Recapture Amount, as the case may be, shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy available to the Company arising out of or in connection with any such Employment Violation including, without limitation, the right to terminate the Holder's employment if not already terminated, seek injunctive relief and additional monetary damages.

        For purposes of this clause (h), the "Recapture Amount" shall mean the gross gain realized or unrealized by the Holder upon each exercise of this Option during the period beginning on the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Holder's Employment Violation and ending on the date of computation (the "Look-back Period"), which gain shall be calculated as the sum of:

        (i)    if the Holder has exercised any portion of this Option during the Look-back Period and sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, an amount equal to the product of (x) the sales price per Share sold minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which this Option was exercised and which were sold at such sales price; plus

        (ii)  if the Holder has exercised any portion of this Option during the Look-back Period and not sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, with respect to each of such Shares an amount equal to the product of (x) the greatest of the following: (1) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of exercise, (2) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Company's written notice of its exercise of its rights under this clause (h), or (3) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of computation, minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which this Option was exercised and which were not sold;

provided, however, in lieu of payment by the Holder to the Company of the Recapture Amount determined pursuant to subclause (ii) above, the Holder, in his or her discretion, may tender to the Company the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option during the Look-back Period and the Optionee shall not be entitled to receive any consideration from the Company in exchange therefor.

        (i)    Adjustments.    In the event that the Company shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of common stock of the Company, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of common stock of the Company or

21

---

other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares, such that an adjustment is determined by the Company to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to the Holder, then the Company shall, in such manner as the Company may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of shares of common stock of the Company subject to this Option, and (ii) the grant or exercise price with respect to this Option, or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the Holder.

        (j)    Delivery of Share Certificates.    Within a reasonable time after the exercise of this Option, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the person entitled thereto a certificate for the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of this Option. If this Option shall have been exercised with respect to less than all of the Shares subject to this Option, the Company shall also cause to be delivered to the person entitled thereto a new Stock Option Agreement in replacement of this Stock Option Agreement if surrendered at the time of the exercise of this Option, indicating the number of Shares with respect to which this Option remains available for exercise, or the Company shall make a notation in its books and records to reflect the partial exercise of this Option.

        (k)    Withholding.    In the event that the Holder elects to exercise this Option or any part thereof, and if the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company shall be required to withhold any amounts by reasons of any federal, state or local tax laws, rules or regulations in respect of the issuance of Shares to the Holder pursuant to this Option, the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amounts from any payments to be made to the Holder. In any event, the Holder shall make available to the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate, promptly when requested by the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate, sufficient funds to meet the requirements of such withholding; and the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate shall be entitled to take and authorize such steps as it may deem advisable in order to have such funds available to the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate out of any funds or property due or to become due to the Holder.

        (l)    Reservation of Shares.    The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Option such number of Shares as shall be required for issuance or delivery upon exercise hereof.

        (m)    Rights of Holder.    Nothing contained herein shall be construed to confer upon the Holder any right to be continued in the employ of the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or derogate from any right of the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to retire, request the resignation of, or discharge the Holder at any time, with or without cause. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed herein and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

        (n)    Exclusion from Pension Computations.    By acceptance of the grant of this Option, the Holder hereby agrees that any income realized upon the receipt or exercise hereof, or upon the disposition of the Shares received upon its exercise, is special incentive compensations and, to the extent permissible under applicable law, shall not be taken into account as "wages", "salary" or "compensation" in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement, incentive, profit sharing, bonus or deferred compensation plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

        (o)    Registration; Legend.    The Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of Shares upon any exercise of this Option until (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange or exchanges on which Shares of the Company of the same class are then listed and (b) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable. The Holder shall make such representations and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be

22

---

appropriate to permit the Company, in light of the then existence or non-existence with respect to such Shares of an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to issue the Shares in compliance with the provisions of that or any comparable act.

        The Company may cause the following or a similar legend to be set forth on each certificate representing Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Option unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such certificate that such legend is unnecessary:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS ESTABLISHED BY AN OPINION FROM COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY.

        (p)    Amendment.    The Company may at any time or from time to time amend the terms of the Plan, and may, with the consent of the Holder, at any time or from time to time amend the terms and conditions of this Option, provided, however, that in no instance may the exercise price of this Option be reduced after the date of grant (except in connection with adjustments pursuant to Section 10.9 of the Plan).

        (q)    Notices.    Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give to the other shall be in writing, and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, or overnight courier, addressed as follows: if to the Company, at its office at 3100 Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90405, Attn: General Counsel, or at such other address as the Company by notice to the Holder may designate in writing from time to time; and if to the Holder, at the address shown below her signature on this Stock Option Agreement, or at such other address as the Holder by notice to the Company may designate in writing from time to time. Notices shall be effective upon receipt.

        (r)    Interpretation.    A determination of the Committee as to any questions which may arise with respect to the interpretation of the provisions of this Option and of the Plan shall be final and binding. The Committee may authorize and establish such rules, regulations and revisions thereof as it may deem advisable.

Exhibit 10.3

As Adopted by the Board of Directors
on April 4, 2002, and amended on
July 22, 2002

ACTIVISION, INC.


2002 INCENTIVE PLAN

        ACTIVISION, INC., a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "Company"), hereby establishes and adopts the following 2002 Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

RECITALS

        WHEREAS, the Company desires to encourage high levels of performance by those individuals who are key to the success of the Company, to attract new individuals who are highly motivated and who will contribute to the success of the Company and to encourage such individuals to remain as employees of the Company and its subsidiaries by increasing their proprietary interest in the Company's growth and success.

        WHEREAS, to attain these ends, the Company has formulated the Plan embodied herein to authorize the granting of incentive awards through grants of share options ("Options"), grants of share appreciation rights, grants of Share Purchase Awards (hereafter defined), grants of Restricted Share Awards (hereafter defined), grants of Performance-Based Awards (hereafter defined), or any other award made under the Plan to those persons (each such person, a "Participant") whose judgment, initiative and efforts are or have been or will be responsible for the success of the Company.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the Company hereby constitutes, establishes and adopts the following Plan and agrees to the following provisions:

ARTICLE 1.

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

        1.1.    Purpose.    The purpose of the Plan is to assist the Company and its subsidiaries in attracting and retaining selected individuals to serve as officers (other than executive officers), consultants, advisors and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who will contribute to the Company's success and to achieve long-term objectives which will inure to the benefit of all shareholders of the Company through the additional incentive inherent in the ownership or increased ownership of the Company's shares of common stock ("Shares"). Options granted under the Plan will be either "incentive share options," intended to qualify as such under the provisions of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time (the "Code"), or "nonqualified share options." For purposes of the Plan, the term "subsidiary" shall mean "subsidiary corporation," as such term is defined in Section 424(f) of the Code, and "affiliate" shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). For purposes of the Plan, the term "Award" shall mean a grant of an Option, a grant of a share appreciation right, a grant of a Share Purchase Award, a grant of a Restricted Share Award, or any other award made under the terms of the Plan.

ARTICLE 2.

SHARES SUBJECT TO AWARDS

        2.1.    Number of Shares.    Subject to the adjustment provisions of Section 10.9 hereof, the aggregate number of Shares which may be issued under Awards under the Plan, whether pursuant to Options, share appreciation rights, Share Purchase Awards, Restricted Share Awards or Performance-Based Awards shall not exceed 2,350,000. No Options to purchase fractional Shares shall be granted or

---

issued under the Plan. For purposes of this Section 2.1, the Shares that shall be counted toward such limitation shall include all Shares:

(1)

issued or issuable pursuant to Options that have been or may be exercised;



(2)

issued or issuable pursuant to Share Purchase Awards;



(3)

issued as, or subject to issuance as a Restricted Share Award; and



(4)

issued or issuable under any other Award granted under the terms of the Plan.

        2.2.    Shares Subject to Terminated Awards.    The Shares covered by any unexercised portions of terminated Options granted under Articles 4 and 6, Shares forfeited as provided in Section 8.2(a) and Shares subject to any Awards which are otherwise surrendered by the Participant without receiving any payment or other benefit with respect thereto may again be subject to new Awards under the Plan, other than grants of Options intended to qualify as incentive share options. In the event the purchase price of an Option is paid in whole or in part through the delivery of Shares, the number of Shares issuable in connection with the exercise of the Option shall not again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan. Shares subject to Options, or portions thereof, which have been surrendered in connection with the exercise of share appreciation rights shall not again be available for the grant of Awards under the Plan.

        2.3.    Character of Shares.    Shares delivered under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Shares or Shares acquired by the Company, or both.

        2.4.    Limitations on Grants to Individual Participant.    Subject to adjustments pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.9 hereof, the maximum number of Shares with respect to which Options or stock appreciation rights may be granted hereunder to any employee during any fiscal year of the Company shall be 500,000 Shares (the "Limitation"). If an Option is cancelled, the cancelled Option shall continue to be counted toward the Limitation for the year granted. An Option (or a stock appreciation right) that is repriced during any fiscal year is treated as the cancellation of the Option (or stock appreciation right) and a grant of a new Option (or stock appreciation right) for purposes of the Limitation for that fiscal year.

ARTICLE 3.

ELIGIBILITY AND ADMINISTRATION

        3.1.    Awards to Employees and Others.    (a)    Participants who receive (i) Options under Articles 4 and 6 hereof or share appreciation rights under Article 5 ("Optionees"), and (ii) Share Purchase Awards under Article 7, Restricted Share Awards under Article 8, Deferred Share Awards (as defined herein) under Article 9, Performance-Based Awards under Article 11, or any other Award granted under the Plan shall consist of such officers (other than executive officers), key employees, consultants and advisors of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates as the Committee (as defined in Section 3.2 below) shall select from time to time. Executive officers and Directors (as defined in Section 3.2 below) of the Company shall not be eligible to receive Awards under the Plan. The Committee's designation of an Optionee or Participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such person to receive Awards or grants in any other year. The designation of an Optionee or Participant to receive Awards or grants under one portion of the Plan shall not require the Committee to include such Optionee or Participant under other portions of the Plan.

        (b)  No Option that is intended to qualify as an "incentive share option" may be granted (x) to any individual that is not an employee of the Company or any subsidiary thereof, or (y) to any employee who, at the time of such grant, owns, directly or indirectly (within the meaning of Sections 422(b)(6) and 424(d) of the Code), shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or

2

---

affiliates, unless at the time of such grant, (i) the option price is fixed at not less than 110% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 10.2 below) of the Shares subject to such Option, determined on the date of the grant, and (ii) the exercise of such Option is prohibited by its terms after the expiration of five years from the date such Option is granted.

        3.2.    Administration.    (a)    The Plan shall be administered by a committee (the "Committee") consisting of not fewer than two Directors of the Company (the directors of the Company being hereinafter referred to as the "Directors"), as designated by the Directors. The Directors may remove from, add members to, or fill vacancies in the Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors, each member of the Committee will be a "non-employee director" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule) of the Exchange Act and an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C)(i) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

        (b)  The Committee is authorized, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to establish such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for the conduct of meetings and proper administration of the Plan. All actions of the Committee shall be taken by majority vote of its members.

        (c)  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to grant Awards under the Plan, to interpret the provisions of the Plan and, subject to the requirements of applicable law, including Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. The Committee shall have no authority to reduce the exercise price of any Options or share appreciation rights granted under the Plan (except in connection with adjustments pursuant to Section 10.9 below). 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, its shareholders, Directors and employees, and other Plan participants.

ARTICLE 4.

OPTIONS

        4.1.    Grant of Options.    The Committee shall determine, within the limitations of the Plan, those officers (other than executive officers), key employees, consultants and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates to whom Options are to be granted under the Plan, the number of Shares that may be purchased under each such Option and the option price, and shall designate such Options at the time of the grant as either "incentive share options" or "nonqualified share options"; provided, however, that Options granted to employees of an affiliate (that is not also a subsidiary) or to non-employees of the Company may only be "nonqualified share options."

        4.2.    Share Option Agreements; etc.    All Options granted pursuant to Article 4 and Article 6 herein (a) shall be authorized by the Committee and (b) shall be evidenced in writing by share option agreements ("Share Option Agreements") in such form and containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine that are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, and, with respect to any Share Option Agreement granting Options that are intended to qualify as "incentive share options," are not inconsistent with Section 422 of the Code. Granting of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall impose no obligation on the recipient to exercise such Option. Any individual who is granted an Option pursuant to this Article 4 and Article 6 herein may hold more than one Option granted pursuant to such Articles at the same time and may hold both "incentive share options" and "nonqualified share options" at the same time. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an "incentive share option" (whether because of its provisions, the time or manner of its exercise or otherwise) such Option or the portion thereof which does not so qualify shall constitute a separate "nonqualified share option."

3

---

        4.3.    Option Price.    Subject to Section 3.1(b), the option exercise price per each Share purchasable under any "incentive share option" granted pursuant to this Article 4, any "nonqualified share option" granted pursuant to Article 6, and Options intended to be performance-based under Section 162(m) of the Code shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date of the grant of such Option. The option exercise price per share of each Share purchasable under any "nonqualified share option" that is not intended to be performance-based under Section 162(m) of the Code and is granted pursuant to this Article 4 shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of such Option, but shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value of such Share on the date of the grant of such Option.

        4.4.    Other Provisions.    Options granted pursuant to this Article 4 shall be made in accordance with the terms and provisions of Article 10 hereof and any other applicable terms and provisions of the Plan.

ARTICLE 5.

SHARE APPRECIATION RIGHTS

        5.1.    Grant and Exercise.    Share appreciation rights may be granted in conjunction with all or part of any Option granted under the Plan, as follows: (i) in the case of a nonqualified share option, such rights may be granted either at the time of the grant of such option or at any subsequent time during the term of the option; and (ii) in the case of an incentive share option, such rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of such option. A "share appreciation right" is a right to receive cash or whole Shares, as provided in this Article 5, in lieu of the purchase of a Share under a related Option. A share appreciation right or applicable portion thereof shall terminate and no longer be exercisable upon the termination or exercise of the related Option, and a share appreciation right granted with respect to less than the full number of Shares covered by a related Option shall not be reduced until, and then only to the extent that, the exercise or termination of the related Option exceeds the number of Shares not covered by the share appreciation right. A share appreciation right may be exercised by the holder thereof (the "Holder"), in accordance with Section 5.2 of this Article 5, by giving written notice thereof to the Company and surrendering the applicable portion of the related Option. Upon giving such notice and surrender, the Holder shall be entitled to receive an amount determined in the manner prescribed in Section 5.2 of this Article 5. Options which have been so surrendered, in whole or in part, shall no longer be exercisable to the extent the related share appreciation rights have been exercised.

        5.2.    Terms and Conditions.    Share appreciation rights shall be subject to such terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as shall be determined from time to time by the Committee, including the following:

        (a)  Share appreciation rights shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the Options to which they relate shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.

        (b)  Upon the exercise of a share appreciation right, a Holder shall be entitled to receive up to, but no more than, an amount in cash or whole Shares as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion equal to the excess of the then Fair Market Value of one Share over the option exercise price per Share specified in the related Option multiplied by the number of Shares in respect of which the share appreciation right shall have been exercised. The Holder shall specify in his written notice of exercise, whether payment shall be made in cash or in whole Shares. Each share appreciation right may be exercised only at the time and so long as a related Option, if any, would be exercisable or as otherwise permitted by applicable law.

4

---

        (c)  Upon the exercise of a share appreciation right, the Option or part thereof to which such share appreciation right is related shall be deemed to have been exercised for the purpose of the limitation of the number of Shares to be issued under the Plan, as set forth in Section 2.1 of the Plan.

        (d)  With respect to share appreciation rights granted in connection with an Option that is intended to be an "incentive share option," the following shall apply:

        (i)    No share appreciation right shall be transferable by a Holder otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and share appreciation rights shall be exercisable, during the Holder's lifetime, only by the Holder.

        (ii)  Share appreciation rights granted in connection with an Option may be exercised only when the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to the Option exceeds the option exercise price at which Shares can be acquired pursuant to the Option.

ARTICLE 6.

RELOAD OPTIONS

        6.1.    Authorization of Reload Options.    Concurrently with the award of any Option (such Option hereinafter referred to as the "Underlying Option") to any Participant in the Plan, the Committee may grant one or more reload options (each, a "Reload Option") to such Participant to purchase for cash or Shares (held for at least six months or such other period to avoid accounting charges against the Company's earnings) a number of Shares as specified below. A Reload Option shall be exercisable for an amount of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares delivered by the Optionee to the Company to exercise the Underlying Option, and (ii) to the extent authorized by the Committee, the number of Shares used to satisfy any tax withholding requirement incident to the exercise of the Underlying Option, subject to the availability of Shares under the Plan at the time of such exercise. Any Reload Option may provide for the grant, when exercised, of subsequent Reload Options to the extent and upon such terms and conditions consistent with this Article 6, as the Committee in its sole discretion shall specify at or after the time of grant of such Reload Option. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, a Reload Option will vest and become exercisable six months after the exercise of an Underlying Option or Reload Option by the Participant delivering to the Company Shares owned by the Optionee for at least six months in payment of the exercise price and/or tax withholding obligations. Notwithstanding the fact that the Underlying Option may be an "incentive share option," a Reload Option is not intended to qualify as an "incentive share option" under Section 422 of the Code.

        6.2.    Reload Option Amendment.    Each Share Option Agreement shall state whether the Committee has authorized Reload Options with respect to the Underlying Option. Upon the exercise of an Underlying Option or other Reload Option, the Reload Option will be evidenced by an amendment to the underlying Share Option Agreement.

        6.3.    Reload Option Price.    The option exercise price per Share payable upon the exercise of a Reload Option shall be the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the corresponding Underlying Option is exercised.

        6.4.    Term and Exercise.    Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, each Reload Option vests and is fully exercisable six months after its grant (i.e., six months after the corresponding Underlying Option is exercised). The term of each Reload Option shall be equal to the remaining option term of the Underlying Option.

        6.5.    Termination of Employment.    No additional Reload Options shall be granted to Optionees when Options and/or Reload Options are exercised pursuant to the terms of this Plan following

5

---

termination of the Optionee's employment unless the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine otherwise.

        6.6.    Applicability of Other Sections.    Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6, the provisions of Article 9 applicable to Options shall apply equally to Reload Options.

ARTICLE 7.

SHARE PURCHASE AWARDS

        7.1.    Grant of Share Purchase Award.    The term "Share Purchase Award" means the right to purchase Shares of the Company and to pay for such Shares through a loan made by the Company to the Participant (a "Purchase Loan") as set forth in this Article 7.

        7.2.    Terms of Purchase Loans.    (a)    Purchase Loan. Each Purchase Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note. The term of the Purchase Loan shall be for a period of years, as determined by the Committee, and the proceeds of the Purchase Loan shall be used exclusively by the Participant for purchase of Shares from the Company at a purchase price equal to the Fair Market Value on the date of the Share Purchase Award.

        (b)  Interest on Purchase Loan.    A Purchase Loan shall be non-interest bearing or shall bear interest at whatever rate the Committee shall determine (but not in excess of the maximum rate permissible under applicable law), payable in a manner and at such times as the Committee shall determine. Those terms and provisions as the Committee shall determine shall be incorporated into the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan.

        (c)  Forgiveness of Purchase Loan.    Subject to Section 7.4 hereof, the Company may forgive the repayment of up to 100% of the principal amount of the Purchase Loan, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine and set forth in the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan. A Participant's Purchase Loan can be prepaid at any time, and from time to time, without penalty.

        7.3.    Security for Loans.    (a)    Stock Power and Pledge.    Purchase Loans granted to Participants shall be secured by a pledge of the Shares acquired pursuant to the Share Purchase Award. Such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement (the "Pledge Agreement") containing such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. Purchase Loans shall be recourse or non-recourse with respect to a Participant, as determined from time to time by the Committee. The share certificates for the Shares purchased by a Participant pursuant to a Share Purchase Award shall be issued in the Participant's name, but shall be held by the Company as security for repayment of the Participant's Purchase Loan together with a stock power executed in blank by the Participant (the execution and delivery of which by the Participant shall be a condition to the issuance of the Share Purchase Award). Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the Participant shall be entitled to exercise all rights applicable to such Shares, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive dividends and other distributions made with respect to such Shares. When the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon has been repaid or otherwise satisfied in full, the Company shall deliver to the Participant the share certificates for the Shares purchased by a Participant under the Share Purchase Award.

        (b)  Release and Delivery of Share Certificates During the Term of the Purchase Loan.    The Company shall release and deliver to each Participant certificates for Shares purchased by a Participant pursuant to a Share Purchase Award, in such amounts and on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, which shall be set forth in the Pledge Agreement.

        (c)  Release and Delivery of Share Certificates Upon Repayment of the Purchase Loan.    The Company shall release and deliver to each Participant certificates for the Shares purchased by the

6

---

Participant under the Share Purchase Award and then held by the Company, provided the Participant has paid or otherwise satisfied in full the balance of the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon. In the event the balance of the Purchase Loan is not repaid, forgiven or otherwise satisfied within 90 days after (i) the date repayment of the Purchase Loan is due (whether in accordance with its term, by reason of acceleration or otherwise), or (ii) such longer time as the Committee, in its discretion, shall provide for repayment or satisfaction, the Company shall retain those Shares then held by the Company in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.

        (d)  Recourse Purchase Loans.    Notwithstanding Sections 7.3(a), (b) and (c) above, in the case of a recourse Purchase Loan, the Committee may make a Purchase Loan on such terms as it determines, including without limitation, not requiring a pledge of the acquired Shares.

        7.4.    Termination of Employment.    (a)    Termination of Employment by Death, Disability or by the Company Without Cause; Change of Control.    In the event of a Participant's termination of employment or separation from service by reason of death, "disability" or by the Company without "cause," or in the event of a "change of control," the Committee shall have the right (but shall not be required) to forgive the remaining unpaid amount (principal and interest) of the Purchase Loan in whole or in part as of the date of such occurrence. "Change of Control," "disability" and "cause" shall have the respective meanings as set forth in the promissory note evidencing the Purchase Loan.

        (b)  Other Termination of Employment.    Subject to Section 7.4(a) above, in the event of a Participant's termination of employment or separation from service for any reason, the Participant shall repay to the Company the entire balance of the Purchase Loan and any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, which amounts shall become immediately due and payable, unless otherwise determined by the Committee.

        7.5.    Restrictions on Transfer.    No Share Purchase Award or Shares purchased through such an Award and pledged to the Company as collateral security for the Participant's Purchase Loan (and accrued and unpaid interest thereon) may be otherwise pledged, sold, assigned or transferred (other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution).

ARTICLE 8.

RESTRICTED SHARE AWARDS

        8.1.    Restricted Share Awards.    (a)    Grant.    A grant of Shares made pursuant to this Article 8 is referred to as a "Restricted Share Award." The Committee may grant to any Participant an amount of Shares in such manner, and subject to such terms and conditions relating to vesting, forfeitability and restrictions on delivery and transfer (whether based on performance standards, periods of service or otherwise) as the Committee shall establish (such Shares, "Restricted Shares"). The terms of any Restricted Share Award granted under this Plan shall be set forth in a written agreement (a "Restricted Share Agreement") which shall contain provisions determined by the Committee and not inconsistent with this Plan. The provisions of Restricted Share Awards need not be the same for each Participant receiving such Awards.

        (b)  Issuance of Restricted Shares.    As soon as practicable after the date of grant of a Restricted Share Award by the Committee, the Company shall cause to be transferred on the books of the Company, Shares registered in the name of the Company, as nominee for the Participant, evidencing the Restricted Shares covered by the Award; provided, however, such Shares shall be subject to forfeiture to the Company retroactive to the date of grant, if a Restricted Share Agreement delivered to the Participant by the Company with respect to the Restricted Shares covered by the Award is not duly executed by the Participant and timely returned to the Company. All Restricted Shares covered by Awards under this Article 8 shall be

7

---

subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions contained in the Plan and the Restricted Share Agreement entered into by and between the Company and the Participant. Until the lapse or release of all restrictions applicable to an Award of Restricted Shares, the share certificates representing such Restricted Shares shall be held in custody by the Company or its designee.

        (c)  Shareholder Rights.    Beginning on the date of grant of the Restricted Share Award and subject to execution of the Restricted Share Agreement as provided in Sections 8.1(a) and (b), the Participant shall become a shareholder of the Company with respect to all Shares subject to the Restricted Share Agreement and shall have all of the rights of a shareholder, including, but not limited to, the right to vote such Shares and the right to receive distributions made with respect to such Shares; provided, however, that any Shares or any other property (other than cash) distributed as a dividend or otherwise with respect to any Restricted Shares as to which the restrictions have not yet lapsed shall be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted Shares and shall be represented by book entry and held as prescribed in Section 8.1(b).

        (d)  Restriction on Transferability.    None of the Restricted Shares may be assigned or transferred (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution), pledged or sold prior to lapse or release of the restrictions applicable thereto.

        (e)  Delivery of Shares Upon Release of Restrictions.    Upon expiration or earlier termination of the forfeiture period without a forfeiture and the satisfaction of or release from any other conditions prescribed by the Committee, the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares shall lapse. As promptly as administratively feasible thereafter, subject to the requirements of Section 12.1, the Company shall deliver to the Participant or, in case of the Participant's death, to the Participant's beneficiary, one or more stock certificates for the appropriate number of Shares, free of all such restrictions, except for any restrictions that may be imposed by law.

        8.2.    Terms of Restricted Shares.    (a)    Forfeiture of Restricted Shares. Subject to Section 8.2(b), all Restricted Shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Company and all rights of the Participant with respect to such Restricted Shares shall terminate unless the Participant continues in the service of the Company as an employee until the expiration of the forfeiture period for such Restricted Shares and satisfies any and all other conditions set forth in the Restricted Share Agreement. The Committee in its sole discretion, shall determine the forfeiture period (which may, but need not, lapse in installments) and any other terms and conditions applicable with respect to any Restricted Share Award and the Committee has the discretion to modify the terms and conditions of a Restricted Share award as long as the rights of the Participant are not impaired.

        (b)  Waiver of Forfeiture Period.    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 8 to the contrary, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to the limitations imposed under Section 162(m) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder in the case of a Restricted Share Award intended to comply with the performance-based exception under Code Section 162(m), waive the forfeiture period and any other conditions set forth in any Restricted Share Agreement under appropriate circumstances (including the death, disability or retirement of the Participant or a material change in circumstances arising after the date of an Award) and subject to such terms and conditions (including forfeiture of a proportionate number of the Restricted Shares) as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

ARTICLE 9.

DEFERRED SHARE AWARDS

        9.1.    Shares and Administration.    Awards of the right to receive Shares that are not to be distributed to the Participant until after a specified deferral period (such Award and the deferred Shares delivered thereunder hereinafter as the context shall require, the "Deferred Shares") may be

8

---

made either alone or in addition to share Options, share appreciation rights, or Restricted Share Awards, or Other Share-based Awards (hereafter defined) granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the officers (other than executive officers), employees, consultants and advisors of the Company and its subsidiaries to whom and the time or times at which Deferred Shares shall be awarded, the number of Deferred Shares to be awarded to any Participant, the duration of the period (the "Deferral Period") during which, and the conditions under which, receipt of the Shares will be deferred, and the terms and conditions of the award in addition to those contained in Section 9.2. In its sole discretion, the Committee may provide for a minimum payment at the end of the applicable Deferral Period based on a stated percentage of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of the number of Shares covered by a Deferred Share award. The Committee may also provide for the grant of Deferred Shares upon the completion of a specified performance period. The provisions of Deferred Share awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

        9.2.    Terms and Conditions.    Deferred Share awards made pursuant to this Article 9 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

        (a)  Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Shares to be issued pursuant to a Deferred Share award may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered during the Deferral Period or Elective Deferral Period (defined below), where applicable, and may be subject to a risk of forfeiture during all or such portion of the Deferral Period as shall be specified by the Committee. At the expiration of the Deferral Period and Elective Deferral Period, share certificates shall be delivered to the Participant, or the Participant's legal representative, in a number equal to the number of shares covered by the Deferred Share award.

        (b)  Amounts equal to any dividends declared during the Deferral Period with respect to the number of Shares covered by a Deferred Share award will be paid to the Participant currently, or deferred and deemed to be reinvested in additional deferred Shares or otherwise reinvested, as determined at the time of the Award by the Committee, in its sole discretion.

        (c)  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 9.2(d) of this Article 9, upon termination of employment for any reason during the Deferral Period for a given Award, the Deferred Shares in question shall be forfeited by the Participant.

        (d)  In the event of the Participant's death or permanent disability during the Deferral Period (or Elective Deferral Period, where applicable), or in cases of special circumstances, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all of the remaining deferral limitations imposed hereunder with respect to any or all of the Participant's Deferred Shares.

        (e)  Prior to completion of the Deferral Period, a Participant may elect to further defer receipt of the Award for a specified period or until a specified event (the "Elective Deferral Period"), subject in each case to the approval of the Committee and under such terms as are determined by the Committee, all in its sole discretion.

        (f)    Each Award shall be confirmed by a Deferred Share agreement or other instrument executed by the Company and the Participant.

ARTICLE 10.

GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS

        10.1.    Option Period.    Subject to Section 3.1(b), the period for which an Option is exercisable shall be set by the Committee and shall not exceed ten years from the date such Option is granted, provided, however, in the case of an Option that is not intended to be an "incentive share option," the

9

---

Committee may prescribe a period in excess of ten years. After the Option is granted, the option period may not be reduced, subject to expiration due to termination of employment or otherwise.

        10.2.    Fair Market Value.    The "Fair Market Value" of a Share shall be determined in good faith by the Committee in its sole discretion from time to time. In no case shall Fair Market Value be less than the par value of a Share. An Option shall be considered granted on the date the Committee acts to grant the Option or such later date as the Committee shall specify.

        10.3.    Exercise of Options.    Vested Options granted under the Plan shall be exercised by the Optionee or by a Permitted Assignee thereof (or by his or her executors, administrators, guardian or legal representative, as provided in Sections 10.6 and 10.7 hereof) as to all or part of the Shares covered thereby, by the giving of written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment of the full purchase price for the Shares being purchased. Full payment of such purchase price shall be made at the time of exercise and shall be made (i) in cash or by certified check or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) with the consent of the Committee, by delivery of a promissory note in favor of the Company upon such terms and conditions as determined by the Committee, (iii) with the consent of Committee, by tendering previously acquired Shares (valued at its Fair Market Value, as determined by the Committee as of the date of tender) that have been owned for a period of at least six months (or such other period to avoid accounting charges against the Company's earnings), (iv) if Shares are 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, Inc. and the Committee authorizes this method of exercise, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker approved by the Committee to deliver promptly to the Company an amount equal to the purchase price, or (v) with the consent of the Committee, any combination of (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv). In connection with a tender of previously acquired Shares pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the Optionee to constructively exchange Shares already owned by the Optionee in lieu of actually tendering such Shares to the Company, provided that adequate documentation concerning the ownership of the Shares to be constructively tendered is furnished in form satisfactory to the Committee. The notice of exercise, accompanied by such payment, shall be delivered to the Company at its principal business office or such other office as the Committee may from time to time direct, and shall be in such form, containing such further provisions consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee may from time to time prescribe. In no event may any Option granted hereunder be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Company shall, subject to Section 10.4 herein, effect the transfer of Shares purchased pursuant to an Option as soon as practicable, and, within a reasonable time thereafter, such transfer shall be evidenced on the books of the Company. No person exercising an Option shall have any of the rights of a holder of Shares subject to an Option until certificates for such Shares shall have been issued following the exercise of such Option. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

        10.4.    Transferability.    No Option that is intended to qualify as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the Code shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such Option may be exercised during the life of the Optionee only by the Optionee or his guardian or legal representative.

        10.5.    Termination of Employment.    Unless the Committee determines otherwise, in the event of the termination of employment of an Optionee or the termination or separation from service of an advisor or consultant for any reason (other than death or disability as provided below), any Option(s) held by such Optionee (or Permitted Assignee) under this Plan and not previously exercised or expired shall be deemed cancelled and terminated on the day of such termination or separation, provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, if extended by the Committee, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of the termination or separation from service of an Optionee for any reason other than

10

---

death or disability, under conditions satisfactory to the Company, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, allow any "nonqualified share options" granted to such Optionee under the Plan and not previously exercised or expired to be exercisable for a period of time to be specified by the Committee, provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 10.1 above.

        10.6.    Death.    In the event an Optionee dies while employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or during his term as an advisor or consultant of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, as the case may be, any Option(s) held by such Optionee (or his Permitted Assignee) and not previously expired or exercised shall, to the extent exercisable on the date of death, be exercisable by the estate of such Optionee or by any person who acquired such Option by bequest or inheritance, or by the Permitted Assignee at any time within one year after the death of the Optionee, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after the Optionee's death, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after the Optionee's death, provided further, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 above.

        10.7.    Disability.    In the event of the termination of employment of an Optionee or the separation from service of an advisor or consultant of the Company, due to total disability, the Optionee, or his guardian or legal representative, or a Permitted Assignee shall have the unqualified right to exercise any Option(s) that have not expired or been previously exercised and that the Optionee was eligible to exercise as of the first date of total disability (as determined by the Committee), at any time within one year after such termination or separation, unless earlier terminated pursuant to its terms, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after such termination or separation, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after such termination or separation, provided further, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 above. The term "total disability" shall, for purposes of this Plan, be defined in the same manner as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.

        10.8.    Amendment and Modification of the Plan.    The Committee may, from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan as it shall deem advisable, subject to any requirement for shareholder approval imposed by applicable law or any rule of any stock exchange or quotation system on which Shares are listed or quoted; provided that no amendments to, or termination of, the Plan shall in any way impair the rights of an Optionee or a Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) under any Award previously granted without such Optionee's or Participant's consent.

        10.9.    Adjustments.    In the event that the Committee 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, or exchange of Shares or other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares with respect to which Awards have been or may be issued under the Plan, such that an adjustment is determined in good faith by the Committee to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of Shares that thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and share appreciation rights, and (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award, or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of any outstanding Award; provided, in each case, that with respect to "incentive stock options," no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment would cause such options to violate Section 422(b) of the Code or any successor provision; and provided further, that the

11

---

number of Shares subject to any Award denominated in Shares shall always be a whole number. In the event of any reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, or other business combination involving the Company (collectively, a "Reorganization"), the Committee or the Board of Directors of the Company may cause any Award outstanding as of the effective date of the Reorganization to be cancelled in consideration of a cash payment or alternate Award (whether from the Company or another entity that is a party to the Reorganization) or a combination thereof made to the holder of such cancelled Award substantially equivalent in value to the fair market value of such cancelled Award. The determination of fair market value shall be made by the Committee or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, in their sole discretion.

        10.10.    Change of Control.    The terms of any Award may provide in the Share Option Agreement, Restricted Share Agreement, Purchase Loan or other document evidencing the Award, that upon a "Change of Control" of the Company (as that term may be defined therein), (i) Options (and share appreciation rights) immediately vest and become fully exercisable, (ii) restrictions on Restricted Shares lapse and the shares become fully vested, (iii) Purchase Loans are forgiven in whole or in part, and (iv) such other additional benefits as the Committee deems appropriate shall apply, subject in each case to any terms and conditions contained in the applicable document evidencing such Award. For purposes of this Plan, a "Change of Control" shall mean an event described in the applicable document evidencing the Award or such other event as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company. The Committee, in its discretion, may determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control of the Company, each Option and share appreciation right outstanding hereunder shall terminate within a specified number of days after notice to the Participant or Holder, and such Participant or Holder shall receive, with respect to each Share subject to such Option or share appreciation right, an amount equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of such Share immediately prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control over the exercise price per share of such Option or share appreciation right; such amount to be payable in cash, in one or more kinds of property (including the property, if any, payable in the transaction) or in a combination thereof, as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine.

        10.11.    Employment Violation.    Each Share Option Agreement evidencing an Option granted hereunder shall include and be subject to the following terms:

        (a)  The terms of this Section 10.11 shall apply to the Option if the Optionee is or shall become subject to an employment agreement with the Company.

12

---

        (b)  If the Optionee materially breaches his or her employment agreement (it being understood that any breach of the post-termination obligations contained therein shall be deemed to be material) for so long as the terms of such employment agreement shall apply to the Optionee (each an "Employment Violation"), the Company shall have the right to require (i) the termination and cancellation of the unexercised portion of the Option, if any, whether vested or unvested, and (ii) payment by the Optionee to the Company of the Recapture Amount (as defined below). Such termination of unexercised Options and payment of the Recapture Amount, as the case may be, shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy available to the Company arising out of or in connection with any such Employment Violation including, without limitation, the right to terminate Optionee's employment if not already terminated, seek injunctive relief and additional monetary damages.

        (c)  "Recapture Amount" shall mean the gross gain realized or unrealized by the Optionee upon each exercise of his Option during the period beginning on the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Optionee's Employment Violation and ending on the date of computation (the "Look-back Period"), which gain shall be calculated as the sum of:

        (i)    if the Optionee has exercised any portion of his Option during the Look-back Period and sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, an amount equal to the product of (x) the sales price per Share sold minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which the Option was exercised and which were sold at such sales price; plus

        (ii)  if the Optionee has exercised any portion of his Option during the Look-back Period and not sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, with respect to each of such Shares an amount equal to the product of (x) the greatest of the following: (1) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of exercise, (2) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Company's written notice of its exercise of its rights under this clause (h), or (3) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of computation, minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which this Option was exercised and which were not sold;

provided, however, in lieu of payment by the Optionee to the Company of the Recapture Amount determined pursuant to subclause (ii) above, the Optionee, in his or her discretion, may tender to the Company the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option during the Look-back Period and the Optionee shall not be entitled to receive any consideration from the Company in exchange therefor.

        With respect to any other Awards granted hereunder, the terms of any Restricted Share Agreement, share appreciation right, Share Purchase Award or any other document evidencing an Award under the Plan, may include comparable provisions to those set forth in this Section 10.11.

        10.12.    Other Provisions.    (a)    The Committee may require each Participant purchasing Shares pursuant to an Award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such Participant is acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates for such Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

        (b)  All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award shall be subject to such share-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other restrictions of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any applicable Federal or state securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

13

---

        (c)  Awards granted under the Plan may, in the discretion of the Committee, be granted either alone or in addition to, in tandem with, or in substitution for, any other Awards granted under the Plan. If Awards are granted in substitution for other Awards, the Committee shall require the surrender of such other Awards in consideration for the grant of the new Awards. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards.

        (d)  Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board of Directors from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, subject to shareholder approval if such approval is required; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.

        (e)  A Participant shall have no right as a shareholder until he or she becomes the holder of record.

        (f)    The Company will provide to its shareholders, at least annually, reports containing financial statements and management's discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations.

        10.13.    Terms of Option Grant.    Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.10 and 10.11 to the contrary, the Committee may grant an Option under such terms and conditions as may be provided in the Share Option Agreement given to the Optionee and the Committee has the discretion to modify the terms and conditions of an Option after grant as long as the rights of the Optionee are not impaired unless the Optionee otherwise consents, provided, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so granted, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 10.1 above, provided further that in no instance may the exercise price of the Option be reduced after the date of grant (except in connection with adjustments pursuant to Section 10.9 hereof).

ARTICLE 11.

PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS.

        11.1.    General.    (a)    Certain Awards granted under the Plan may be granted in a manner such that the Awards qualify as "performance-based compensation"(as such term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) and thus be exempt from the deduction limitation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code ("Performance-Based Awards"). Awards shall only qualify as Performance-Based Awards if, among other things, at the time of grant the Committee is comprised solely of two or more "outside directors" (as such term is used in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder).

        (b)  Performance-Based Awards may be granted to Participants at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the number, amount and timing of awards granted to each Participant. Such Performance-Based Awards may take the form of, without limitation, cash, Shares or any combination thereof.

        (c)  The Committee shall set performance goals at its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or value of such Performance-Based Awards that will be paid out to the Participants, and may attach to such Performance-Based Awards one or more restrictions. The maximum amount of Performance-Based Awards to be awarded to any employee during any fiscal year shall be $1,000,000.

        11.2.    Options and Share Appreciation Rights.    Options and share appreciation rights granted under the Plan with an exercise price at or above the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant should qualify as Performance-Based Awards.

14

---

        11.3.    Other Awards.    Either the granting or vesting of Performance-Based Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to the achievement of a performance target or targets, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, based on one or more of the performance measures specified in Section 11.4 below. With respect to such Performance-Based Awards:

(1)

the Committee shall establish in writing (x) the objective performance-based goals applicable to a given period and (y) the individual employees or class of employees to which such performance-based goals apply no later than 90 days after the commencement of such period (but in no event after 25 percent of such period has elapsed);



(2)

no Performance-Based Awards shall be payable to or vest with respect to, as the case may be, any Participant for a given period until the Committee certifies in writing that the objective performance goals (and any other material terms) applicable to such period have been satisfied; and



(3)

after the establishment of a performance goal, the Committee shall not revise such performance goal or increase the amount of compensation payable thereunder (as determined in accordance with Section 162(m) of the Code) upon the attainment of such performance goal.

        11.4.    Performance Measures.    The Committee may use the following performance measures (either individually or in any combination) to set performance targets with respect to Awards intended to qualify as Performance-Based Awards: net sales; pretax income before allocation of corporate overhead and bonus; budget; earnings per share; net income; division, group or corporate financial goals; return on stockholders' equity; return on assets; attainment of strategic and operational initiatives; appreciation in and/or maintenance of the price of the common stock or any other publicly-traded securities of the Company; market share; gross profits; earnings before taxes; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; economic value-added models; comparisons with various stock market indices; and/or reductions in costs.

ARTICLE 12.

MISCELLANEOUS

        12.1.    Tax Withholding.    The Company shall have the right to make all payments or distributions pursuant to the Plan to an Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) net of any applicable Federal, State and local taxes required to be paid as a result of the grant of any Award, exercise of an Option or share appreciation rights or any other event occurring pursuant to this Plan. The Company or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall have the right to withhold from wages or other amounts otherwise payable to such Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) such withholding taxes as may be required by law, or to otherwise require the Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) to pay such withholding taxes. If the Optionee or Participant (or a Permitted Assignee thereof) shall fail to make such tax payments as are required, the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to such Optionee or Participant or to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations. In satisfaction of the requirement to pay withholding taxes, the Optionee or Participant (or Permitted Assignee) may make a written election, which may be accepted or rejected in the discretion of the Committee, to have withheld a portion of the Shares then issuable to the Optionee (or Permitted Assignee) pursuant to the Plan having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the withholding taxes.

        12.2.    Right of Discharge Reserved.    Nothing in the Plan nor the grant of an Award hereunder shall confer upon any employee or other individual the right to continue in the employment or service of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or affect any right that the Company or

15

---

any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company may have to terminate the employment or service of (or to demote or to exclude from future Options under the Plan) any such employee or other individual at any time for any reason. Except as specifically provided by the Committee, the Company shall not be liable for the loss of existing or potential profit with respect to an Award in the event of termination of an employment or other relationship even if the termination is in violation of an obligation of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to the employee, advisor or consultant.

        12.3.    Nature of Payments.    All Awards made pursuant to the Plan are in consideration of services performed or to be performed for the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. Any income or gain realized pursuant to Awards under the Plan and any share appreciation rights constitutes a special incentive payment to the Optionee, Participant or Holder and shall not be taken into account, to the extent permissible under applicable law, as compensation for purposes of any of the employee benefit plans of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company except as may be determined by the Committee or by the Directors or directors of the applicable subsidiary or affiliate of the Company.

        12.4.    Unfunded Status of the Plan.    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 or Optionee by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant or Optionee any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver the Shares or payments in lieu of or with respect to Awards hereunder; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the unfunded status of the Plan.

        12.5.    Severability.    If any provision of the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of the Plan or part thereof, each of which remain in full force and effect. If the making of any payment or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan shall be held unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent any other payment or benefit from being made or provided under the Plan, and if the making of any payment in full or the provision of any other benefit required under the Plan in full would be unlawful or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, then such unlawfulness, invalidity or unenforceability shall not prevent such payment or benefit from being made or provided in part, to the extent that it would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable, and the maximum payment or benefit that would not be unlawful, invalid or unenforceable shall be made or provided under the Plan.

        12.6.    Gender and Number.    In order to shorten and to improve the understandability of the Plan document by eliminating the repeated usage of such phrases as "his or her" and any masculine terminology herein shall also include the feminine, and the definition of any term herein in the singular shall also include the plural except when otherwise indicated by the context.

        12.7.    Governing Law.    The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken thereunder, to the extent not otherwise governed by the Code or the laws of the United States, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and construed accordingly.

        12.8.    Effective Date of Plan; Termination of Plan.    The Plan shall be effective on the date of the approval of the Plan by the Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Option intended to qualify as an incentive share option shall be granted hereunder until the Plan shall be approved by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote thereon, provided such approval is obtained within 12 months after the date of adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors. Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time and from time to time prior to April 3, 2012, on which date the Plan will expire except as to Awards and related share appreciation rights then outstanding under the Plan. Such

16

---

outstanding Awards and share appreciation rights shall remain in effect until they have been exercised or terminated, or have expired.

        12.9.    Captions.    The captions in this Plan are for convenience of reference only, and are not intended to narrow, limit or affect the substance or interpretation of the provisions contained herein.

        12.10.    Dissolution or Liquidation.    In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Committee shall notify each Optionee and Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Committee in its sole discretion may permit an Optionee to exercise an Option until ten days prior to such transaction with respect to all vested and exercisable Shares covered thereby and with respect to such number of unvested Shares as the Committee shall determine. In addition, the Committee may provide that any forfeiture provision or Company repurchase option applicable to any Restricted Share Award shall lapse as to such number of Shares as the Committee shall determine, contingent upon the occurrence of the proposed dissolution or liquidation at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent an Option has not been previously exercised, the Option shall terminate automatically immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed action. To the extent a forfeiture provision applicable to a Restricted Share Award has not been waived by the Committee, the related Restricted Share Award shall be forfeited automatically immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed action.

        12.11.    Successors and Assigns.    This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Company, Optionees and Participants.

STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
(Non-Transferable)

Stock Option #

For            Shares

Issued Pursuant to the
2002 Incentive Plan of
ACTIVISION, INC.

        THIS CERTIFIES that on                        (the "Issuance Date")                        (the "Holder") was granted an option (the "Option") to purchase at the option price of $            per share, all or any part of                        fully paid and non-assessable shares ("Shares") of common stock, par value $.000001 per share, of ACTIVISION, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), upon and subject to the following terms and conditions:

        a.    Terms of the Plan.    The Option is granted pursuant to, and is subject to the terms and conditions of, the Company's 2002 Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), the terms, conditions and definitions of which are hereby incorporated herein as though set forth at length, and the receipt of a copy of which the Holder hereby acknowledges by his signature below. Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan, unless otherwise defined herein.

        [The Company intends that this Option qualify as an "incentive" share option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code to the maximum extent permissible under the Internal Revenue Code. To the extent that the Option does not qualify as an incentive share option, the Option or the portion thereof which does not so qualify shall constitute a separate "nonqualified" share option.]

        b.    Expiration.    This Option shall expire on [ten (10) years less one day from date of issuance], unless extended or earlier terminated in accordance herewith.

        c.    Exercise.    This Option may be exercised or surrendered during the Holder's lifetime only by the Holder or his/her guardian or legal representative. THIS OPTION SHALL NOT BE TRANSFERABLE BY THE HOLDER OTHERWISE THAN BY WILL OR BY THE LAWS OF DESCENT AND DISTRIBUTION, SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE PLAN.

        This Option shall vest and be exercisable as follows:

Vesting Date		Shares Vested at Vesting Date		Cumulative Shares Vested at Vesting Date
[vesting schedule]

18

---

        This Option shall be exercised by the Holder (or by her executors, administrators, guardian or legal representative) as to all or part of the Shares, by the giving of written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment of the full purchase price for the Shares being purchased. Full payment of such purchase price shall be made at the time of exercise and shall be made (i) in cash or by certified check or bank check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, (ii) with the consent of the Company, by tendering previously acquired Shares (valued at its Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan), as determined by the Company as of the date of tender), or (iii) with the consent of the Company, a combination of (i) and (ii). Such notice of exercise, accompanied by such payment, shall be delivered to the Company at its principal business office or such other office as the Company may from time to time direct, and shall be in such form, containing such further provisions as the Company may from time to time prescribe. In no event may this Option be exercised for a fraction of a Share. The Company shall effect the transfer of Shares purchased pursuant to an Option as soon as practicable, and, within a reasonable time thereafter, such transfer shall be evidenced on the books of the Company. No person exercising this Option shall have any of the rights of a holder of Shares subject to this Option until certificates for such Shares shall have been issued following the exercise of such Option. No adjustment shall be made for cash dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date of such issuance.

        (d)    Termination of Employment.    In the event of the termination of employment or separation from service of the Holder for any reason (other than death or disability as provided below), this Option, to the extent not previously exercised or expired, shall be deemed cancelled and terminated on the day of such termination or separation, unless the Company decides, in its sole discretion, to extend the term of this Option, subject to the terms of the Plan.

        (e)    Death.    In the event the Holder dies while employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or during his term as a Director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, as the case may be, this Option, to the extent not previously expired or exercised, shall, to the extent exercisable on the date of death, be exercisable by the estate of the Holder or by any person who acquired this Option by bequest or inheritance, at any time within one year after the death of the Holder, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after the Optionee's death, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after the Optionee's death, provided further, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Sections 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 of the Plan.

        (f)    Disability.    In the event of the termination of employment of the Holder or the separation from service of the Holder due to total disability, the Holder, or her guardian or legal representative, shall have the unqualified right to exercise any portion of this Option which has not been previously exercised or expired and which the Holder was eligible to exercise as of the first date of total disability (as determined by the Company), at any time within one year after such termination or separation, provided, however, that if the term of such Option would expire by its terms within six months after such termination or separation, the term of such Option shall be extended until six months after such termination or separation, provided further, however, that in no instance may the term of the Option, as so extended, exceed the maximum term established pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(ii) or 10.1 of the Plan. The term "total disability" shall, for purposes of this Share Option Agreement, be defined in the same manner as such term is defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

        (g)    Change of Control.    If the Holder is an active employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at the time there occurs a "Change of Control" of the Company (as defined below) and the Holder's employment is terminated by the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than for Cause (as defined below) within twelve (12) months following such Change of Control, or such longer period as the Committee may determine, the portion, if any, of this Option with respect to which the right to exercise has not yet accrued, shall immediately vest and be exercisable in full, effective upon such

19

---

termination, for a period of 30 days thereafter, or such longer period as the Committee may determine. For purposes of this Option, a "Change of Control" of the Company shall be deemed to occur if:

        (i)    there shall have occurred a Change of Control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as in effect on the date hereof, whether or not the Company is then subject to such reporting requirement, provided, however, that there shall not be deemed to be a Change of Control of the Company if immediately prior to the occurrence of what would otherwise be a Change of Control of the Company (a) the Holder is the other party to the transaction (a "Control Event") that would otherwise result in a Change of Control of the Company or (b) the Holder is an executive officer, trustee, director or more than 5% equity holder of the other party to the Control Event or of any entity, directly or indirectly, controlling such other party;

        (ii)  the Company merges or consolidates with, or sells all or substantially all of its assets to, another company (each, a "Transaction"), provided, however, that a Transaction shall not be deemed to result in a Change of Control of the Company if (a) immediately prior thereto the circumstances in (i)(a) or (i)(b) above exist, or (b) (1) the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such Transaction own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such Transaction in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Transaction (the "Surviving Corporation") in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the voting securities of the Company immediately before such Transaction and (2) the individuals who were members of the Company's Board of Directors immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Transaction constitute at least a majority of the members of the board of directors or the board of trustees, as the case may be, of the Surviving Corporation, or of a corporation or other entity beneficially directly or indirectly owning a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Surviving Corporation; or

        (iii)  the Company acquires assets of another company or a subsidiary of the Company merges or consolidates with another company (each, an "Other Transaction") and (a) the shareholders of the Company, immediately before such Other Transaction own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such Other Transaction 50% or less of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Other Transaction (the "Other Surviving Corporation") in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the voting securities of the Company immediately before such Other Transaction or (b) the individuals who were members of the Company's Board of Directors immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Other Transaction constitute less than a majority of the members of the board of directors or the board of trustees, as the case may be, of the Other Surviving Corporation, or of a corporation or other entity beneficially directly or indirectly owning a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Other Surviving Corporation, provided, however, that an Other Transaction shall not be deemed to result in a Change of Control of the Company if immediately prior thereto the circumstances in (i)(a) or (i)(b) above exist.

        For purposes of this clause (g), "Cause" shall mean (unless a different definition is used in the Holder's written employment agreement with the Company, if any, in which case such different definition shall apply to the Holder) any of the following:

        (i)    material breach by the Holder of his or her employment agreement, if any, or material failure by the Holder to perform his or her duties (other than as a result of incapacity due to physical or mental illness) during his or her employment with the Company after written notice of such breach or failure and the Holder failed to cure such breach or

20

---

failure to the Company's reasonable satisfaction within five (5) days after receiving such written notice;

        (ii)  material breach by the Holder of his or her Employee Proprietary Information Agreement or other similar arrangement entered into by the Holder in connection with his or her employment by the Company; or

        (iii)  any act of fraud, misappropriation, misuse, embezzlement or any other material act of dishonesty in respect of the Company or its funds, properties, assets or other employees.

        (h)    Employment Violation.    In consideration of the granting and by acceptance of this Option, the Holder hereby agrees that the terms of this clause (h) shall apply to the Option. The Holder acknowledges and agrees that each exercise of this Option and each written notice of exercise delivered to the Company and executed by the Holder shall serve as a reaffirmation of and continuing agreement by the Holder to comply with the terms contained in this clause (h).

        The Company and the Holder acknowledge and agree that if the Holder materially breaches his or her employment agreement (it being understood that any breach of the post-termination obligations contained therein shall be deemed to be material) for so long as the terms of such employment agreement shall apply to the Holder (each an "Employment Violation"), the Company shall have the right to require (i) the termination and cancellation of the unexercised portion of this Option, if any, whether vested or unvested, and (ii) payment by the Holder to the Company of the Recapture Amount (as defined below). The Company and the Holder further agree that such termination of unexercised Options and payment of the Recapture Amount, as the case may be, shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy available to the Company arising out of or in connection with any such Employment Violation including, without limitation, the right to terminate the Holder's employment if not already terminated, seek injunctive relief and additional monetary damages.

        For purposes of this clause (h), the "Recapture Amount" shall mean the gross gain realized or unrealized by the Holder upon each exercise of this Option during the period beginning on the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the date of the Holder's Employment Violation and ending on the date of computation (the "Look-back Period"), which gain shall be calculated as the sum of:

        (i)    if the Holder has exercised any portion of this Option during the Look-back Period and sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, an amount equal to the product of (x) the sales price per Share sold minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which this Option was exercised and which were sold at such sales price; plus

        (ii)  if the Holder has exercised any portion of this Option during the Look-back Period and not sold any of the Shares acquired on exercise thereafter, with respect to each of such Shares an amount equal to the product of (x) the greatest of the following: (1) the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of exercise, (2) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the Company's written notice of its exercise of its rights under this clause (h), or (3) the arithmetic average of the per Share closing sales prices as reported on NASDAQ for the thirty (30) trading day period ending on the trading day immediately preceding the date of computation, minus the exercise price per Share times (y) the number of Shares as to which this Option was exercised and which were not sold;

provided, however, in lieu of payment by the Holder to the Company of the Recapture Amount determined pursuant to subclause (ii) above, the Holder, in his or her discretion, may tender to the Company the Shares acquired upon exercise of this Option during the Look-back Period and the Optionee shall not be entitled to receive any consideration from the Company in exchange therefor.

        (i)    Adjustments.    In the event that the Company shall determine that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of common stock of the Company, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of shares of common stock of the Company or other securities, the issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares, such that an adjustment is determined by the Company to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to the Holder, then the Company shall, in such manner as the Company may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and type of shares of common stock of the Company subject to this Option, and (ii) the grant or exercise price with respect to this Option, or, if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the Holder.

        (j)    Delivery of Share Certificates.    Within a reasonable time after the exercise of this Option, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the person entitled thereto a certificate for the Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of this Option. If this Option shall have been exercised with respect to less than all of the Shares subject to this Option, the Company shall also cause to be delivered to the person entitled thereto a new Stock Option Agreement in replacement of this Stock Option Agreement if surrendered at the time of the exercise of this Option, indicating the number of Shares with respect to which this Option remains available for exercise, or the Company shall make a notation in its books and records to reflect the partial exercise of this Option.

        (k)    Withholding.    In the event that the Holder elects to exercise this Option or any part thereof, and if the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company shall be required to withhold any amounts by reasons of any federal, state or local tax laws, rules or regulations in respect of the issuance of Shares to the Holder pursuant to this Option, the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate shall be entitled to deduct and withhold such amounts from any payments to be made to the Holder. In any event, the Holder shall make available to the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate, promptly when requested by the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate, sufficient funds to meet the requirements of such withholding; and the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate shall be entitled to take and authorize such steps as it may deem advisable in order to have such funds available to the Company or such subsidiary or affiliate out of any funds or property due or to become due to the Holder.

        (l)    Reservation of Shares.    The Company hereby agrees that at all times there shall be reserved for issuance and/or delivery upon exercise of this Option such number of Shares as shall be required for issuance or delivery upon exercise hereof.

        (m)    Rights of Holder.    Nothing contained herein shall be construed to confer upon the Holder any right to be continued in the employ of the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company or derogate from any right of the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to retire, request the resignation of, or discharge the Holder at any time, with or without cause. The Holder shall not, by virtue hereof, be entitled to any rights of a shareholder in the Company, either at law or in equity, and the rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed herein and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

        (n)    Exclusion from Pension Computations.    By acceptance of the grant of this Option, the Holder hereby agrees that any income realized upon the receipt or exercise hereof, or upon the disposition of the Shares received upon its exercise, is special incentive compensations and, to the extent permissible under applicable law, shall not be taken into account as "wages", "salary" or "compensation" in determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement, incentive, profit sharing, bonus or deferred compensation plan of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates.

        (o)    Registration; Legend.    The Company may postpone the issuance and delivery of Shares upon any exercise of this Option until (a) the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange or

22

---

exchanges on which Shares of the Company of the same class are then listed and (b) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law, rule or regulation as the Company shall determine to be necessary or advisable. The Holder shall make such representations and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company, in light of the then existence or non-existence with respect to such Shares of an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to issue the Shares in compliance with the provisions of that or any comparable act.

        The Company may cause the following or a similar legend to be set forth on each certificate representing Shares or any other security issued or issuable upon exercise of this Option unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such certificate that such legend is unnecessary:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS ESTABLISHED BY AN OPINION FROM COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY.

        (p)    Amendment.    The Company may at any time or from time to time amend the terms of the Plan, and may, with the consent of the Holder, at any time or from time to time amend the terms and conditions of this Option, provided, however, that in no instance may the exercise price of this Option be reduced after the date of grant (except in connection with adjustments pursuant to Section 10.9 of the Plan).

        (q)    Notices.    Any notice which either party hereto may be required or permitted to give to the other shall be in writing, and may be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, or overnight courier, addressed as follows: if to the Company, at its office at 3100 Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90405, Attn: General Counsel, or at such other address as the Company by notice to the Holder may designate in writing from time to time; and if to the Holder, at the address shown below her signature on this Stock Option Agreement, or at such other address as the Holder by notice to the Company may designate in writing from time to time. Notices shall be effective upon receipt.

        (r)    Interpretation.    A determination of the Committee as to any questions which may arise with respect to the interpretation of the provisions of this Option and of the Plan shall be final and binding. The Committee may authorize and establish such rules, regulations and revisions thereof as it may deem advisable.

ACTIVISION, INC. 2002 INCENTIVE PLAN

Exhibit 10.6

        As of July 22, 2002

Ron Doornink
872 9th Street
Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

Dear Mr. Doornink

        This letter (the "Agreement") confirms the terms of your employment by Activision Publishing, Inc. ("Employer"), on the terms and conditions set forth below. This Agreement supercedes the terms of the employment agreement dated October 19, 1998, as amended April 30, 1999 (the "1998 Employment Agreement") previously entered into between you and Employer.

1.    Term

        The term of your employment under this Agreement shall commence on July 22, 2002 (the "Effective Date") and terminate on March 31, 2005 (the "Expiration Date"). For purposes of this Agreement, the period of time from the Effective Date through the Expiration Date shall be defined as the "Employment Period". Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, your employment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is subject to termination pursuant to Paragraph 9 below.

2.    Salary

        (a)  In full consideration for all rights and services provided by you under this Agreement, you shall receive an annual base salary (the "Base Salary") during the Employment Period. Commencing on the Effective Date, your Base Salary for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2003 shall be $425,000. Thereafter, on April 1 of each year of the Employment Period, beginning on April 1, 2003, your Base Salary shall automatically increase to an amount equal to one hundred ten (110%) percent of the Base Salary for the prior fiscal year.

        (b)  In addition to the Base Salary, upon execution of this Agreement, you shall receive a one-time payment equal to the difference between the Base Salary payable to you under this Agreement and the base salary payments you had the right to receive pursuant to the 1998 Employment Agreement calculated retroactively to April 1, 2002.

        (c)  Each base salary referred to in Paragraph 2(a) shall constitute your minimum base salary during the applicable period, and your base salary may be increased above the minimum at any time if Employer's Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee of such Board of Directors), in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to do so. In the event of an increase in your base salary beyond the applicable minimum base salary for a particular period, such increased base salary shall then constitute your minimum base salary for all subsequent periods under this Agreement.

        (d)  The Base Salary shall be paid in accordance with the then prevailing payroll practices of Employer at regular intervals as Employer may establish from time to time for its senior executive officers. Employer may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all applicable tax, Social Security and other legally required withholding pursuant to any law or regulation (the "Withholding"). Any period of less than a full fiscal year for which the Base Salary is calculated shall be pro rata.

        (e)  In addition to your Base Salary, you may be eligible to receive an annual discretionary bonus (the "Annual Bonus"). Your target Annual Bonus during the Employment Period shall be 85% of the then applicable Base Salary, provided that the actual amount of the Annual Bonus, if any, is within the sole and absolute discretion of the Employer's Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee of

1

---

the Board of Directors) and shall be based upon your achievement of certain mutually agreed objectives and goals and/or your contribution to the success of Employer's financial and business objectives and goals for the fiscal year with respect to which the Annual Bonus is calculated, such determination made by Employer's Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors) in its discretion. The Annual Bonus shall take the form of, without limitation, cash, shares of common stock of the Company and/or Options (as defined herein), as the case may be. Employer's overall financial performance will also be considered in determining whether any of the Annual Bonus is awarded and, if so, the amount. The Annual Bonus, if granted, is generally paid to employees in May. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, you must remain continuously employed by Employer through the date on which the Annual Bonus is paid to be eligible to receive such Annual Bonus. Any Annual Bonus shall be subject to Withholding

        (f)    You are also being granted non-qualified stock options (the "New Options") under the existing or modified Board-approved stock option plans established by Activision, to purchase shares of common stock of Activision. The New Options will have an exercise price of $22.94 that is the market low of such common stock on the Effective Date. The New Options are being granted to you on the following terms:

i.

187,500 New Options are granted pursuant to Activision's 2001 Stock Option Plan, with the options vesting in increments of 46,875 options on April 1, 2003, April 1, 2004, April 1, 2005 and April 1, 2006 respectively;



ii.

387,500 New Options are granted pursuant to Activision's 2002 Executive Incentive Plan, with the options vesting in increments of 129,167 options on April 1, 2003, April 1, 2004 and April 1, 2005 respectively; and



iii.

150,000 New Options are granted pursuant to Activision's 2002 Executive Incentive Plan, with all of such New Options vesting in one installment on April 1, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting of New Options granted under this Paragraph 2(f)(iii) will accelerate and such options will vest in increments of 50,000 options on April 1, 2003, April 1, 2004 and April 1, 2005, respectively, subject to the achievement of certain acceleration criteria applicable to each specific acceleration date and related option increment. All applicable acceleration criteria will be agreed in good faith by you and Employer.

The New Options will be governed in all other respects by Activision's stock option plans pursuant to which the New Options are issued and the applicable option agreements. The New Options issued pursuant to this paragraph are in addition to the stock options previously granted to you (the "Existing Options"). The terms of any Existing Options granted to you, whether pursuant to the 1998 Employment Agreement or otherwise, shall not be affected by the execution of this Agreement and shall remain subject to the terms of stock option plans and agreements pursuant to which such Existing Options were granted.

        (g)  You will be eligible for such additional grants of stock options commensurate with your position with Employer as the Board of Directors (or Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors), in its sole discretion, may award to you from time to time.

3.    Title

        You are being employed under this Agreement in the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of Employer and President of Activision. In such capacity, you shall be responsible for overseeing all of Employer's day-to-day operations. You will report directly to the Board of Directors of Employer. Effective as of April 1, 2004, you shall have the title of Chairman of Employer.

4.    Duties

        You shall personally and diligently perform, on a full-time and exclusive basis, such services as Employer or any of its related or affiliated entities or divisions may reasonably require. You are also required to read, review and observe all of Employer's existing policies, procedures, rules and regulations as well as those adopted by Employer during the term of your employment. You will at all times perform all of the duties and obligations required by you under this Agreement in a loyal and conscientious manner and to the best of your ability and experience.

5.    Expenses

        To the extent you incur necessary and reasonable business expenses in the course of your employment, you shall be reimbursed for such expenses, subject to Employer's then current policies regarding reimbursement of such business expenses.

6.    Other Benefits

        You shall be entitled to those benefits, which are standard for persons in similar positions with Employer, including coverage under Employer's health, life insurance and disability plans, and eligibility to participate in Employer's 401(k) plan. In addition, during the Employment Period, Employer will maintain a term insurance policy or policies for a period of ten (10) years, covering your life in an amount of $3,000,000 and naming your estate or any other person designated by you as beneficiary of such policy or policies. Nothing paid to you under any such plans and arrangements (nor any bonus or stock options which Employer's Board of Directors (or the Compensation Committee of such Board of Directors), in its sole and absolute discretion, shall provide to you)) shall be deemed in lieu, or paid on account, of your base salary. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, you expressly agree and acknowledge that after the expiration or early termination of the term of your employment under this Agreement, you are entitled to no additional benefits, except as specifically provided under the benefit plans referred to above and those benefit plans in which you subsequently may become a participant, and subject in each case to the terms and conditions of each such plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, you shall be entitled to receive those benefits provided by COBRA upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

7.    Vacation and Paid Holidays

        (a)  You will be entitled to paid vacation days in accordance with the normal vacation policies of Employer in effect from time to time, provided that in no event shall you be entitled to less than twenty (20) days of paid vacation per year.

        (b)  You shall be entitled to all paid holidays given by Employer to its full-time employees.

8.    Protection of Employer's Interests

        (a)    Duty of Loyalty.    During the Employment Period, you will not compete in any manner, whether directly or indirectly, as a principal, employee, agent or owner, with Employer, or any affiliate of Employer, except that the foregoing will not prevent you from holding at any time less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding capital stock of any company whose stock is publicly traded.

        (b)    Property of Employer.    All rights worldwide with respect to any and all intellectual or other property of any nature produced, created or suggested by you during the term of your employment or resulting from your services which (i) relate in any manner at the time of conception or reduction to practice to the actual or demonstrably anticipated business of Employer, (ii) result from or are suggested by any task assigned to you or any work performed by you on behalf of Employer, or (iii) are based on any property owned or idea conceived by Employer, shall be deemed to be a work made for

3

hire and shall be the sole and exclusive property of Employer. You agree to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Employer, at Employer's request, such further documents, including copyright and patent assignments, as Employer finds appropriate to evidence Employer's rights in such property.

        (c)    Confidentiality.    Any confidential and/or proprietary information of Employer or any affiliate of Employer shall not be used by you or disclosed or made available by you to any person except as required in the course of your employment, and upon expiration or earlier termination of the term of your employment, you shall return to Employer all such information which exists in written or other physical form (and all copies thereof) under your control. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge signing and delivering to Employer the Activision Employee Proprietary Information Agreement and you agree that all terms and conditions contained in such agreement, and all of your obligations and commitments provided for in such agreement, shall be deemed, and hereby are, incorporated into this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

        (d)    Covenant Not to Solicit.    After the expiration of the Employment Period of this Agreement or earlier termination of your employment pursuant to Paragraphs 9(a), (b) or (c) of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, you shall not, either alone or jointly, with or on behalf of others, directly or indirectly, whether as principal, partner, agent, shareholder, director, employee, consultant or otherwise, at any time during a period of two (2) years following such expiration or termination, offer employment to, or directly or indirectly solicit the employment or engagement of, or otherwise entice away from the employment of Employer or any affiliated entity, either for your own account or for any other person firm or company, any person who was employed by Employer or any such affiliated entity during the term of your employment, whether or not such person would commit any breach of his or her contract of employment by reason of his or her leaving the service of Employer or any affiliated entity.

9.    Termination

        (a)    By Employer.    At any time during the Employment Period, Employer may terminate your employment under this Agreement for Cause defined as your (i) willful, reckless or gross misconduct, (ii) negligent performance of job responsibilities, and (iii) conviction of a felony or crime involving dishonesty or moral turpitude. In addition, but subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9(d)(iii) below, Employer may terminate your employment under this Agreement at any time without Cause.

        (b)    By Employee.    You may terminate your employment under this Agreement: (i) upon Employer's material breach of Section 2, or (ii) upon any relocation without your consent of the place at which you primarily are performing your services to Employer to a location which is outside Los Angeles County.

In the event you are unable to perform the services required of you under this Agreement as a result of any disability, and such disability continues for a period of 60 or more consecutive days or an aggregate of 90 or more days during any 12-month period during the term of this Agreement, then Employer shall have the right, at its option, to terminate your employment under this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Paragraph 9(d)(ii) below.

10.  Change Of Control.

        In the event that you are employed by Employer at the moment immediately prior to a Change of Control (as defined herein), you shall be entitled to receive all benefits described in this Paragraph 10.

        (a)  For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of Control" shall be deemed to occur upon the occurrence of both of the following events:

i.

Activision consolidates with, or merges with or into another person or entity or conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets to any person or entity, or any person or entity consolidates with or merges with or into Activision; provided, however that any such transaction shall not constitute a Change of Control if the shareholders of Activision immediately before such transaction own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such transaction in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other person or entity resulting from such transaction in substantially the same proportion as their ownership of the voting securities of Activision immediately before such transaction; and



ii.

Upon consummation of the transaction described in Paragraph 10(a)(i) above, the individuals who constitute the Board prior to the consummation of such transaction (the "Incumbent Board") cease to constitute a majority of the Board, for any reason(s); provided, however (1) that if the nomination or election of any new director of Activision was approved by a majority of the Incumbent Board, such new director shall be deemed a member of the Incumbent Board and (2) that no individual shall be considered a member of the Incumbent Board if such individual initially assumed office as a result of either an actual or threatened "Election Contest" (as described in Rule 14a-11 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or as a result of a solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any "person" or "entity" identified in Paragraph 10(a)(i) above or an affiliate or associate of such "person" or "entity".

        (b)  In the event that you are employed by Employer at the moment immediately prior to a Change of Control:

i.

If your employment is not terminated upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, then certain of the New Options shall then immediately vest as set forth below and become exercisable for a period of five (5) years commencing on the date of Change of Control without regard to the terms of any option agreement or option certificate applicable to any New Options:



a.

If Change of Control occurs prior to April 1, 2004, then 50% of all then unvested New Options shall vest and become exercisable immediately;



b.

If Change of Control occurs on or after April 1, 2004 but prior to April 1, 2005, then 75% of all then unvested New Options shall vest and become exercisable immediately; and



c.

If Change of Control occurs on or after April 1, 2005, then all of then unvested New Options shall vest and become exercisable immediately.




ii.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that the vesting of the Existing Options will not occur upon Change in Control in the manner described in Paragraph 10(b)(i)(a), (b) and (c) above, but instead such options shall vest solely in accordance with the terms of any option plan, option agreement and/or option certificate applicable to such Existing Options.

iii.

In the event that your employment is terminated following the Change in Control at any time during the Employment Period, then applicable provisions of Paragraph 9(d) shall apply.

11.  Consulting Agreement.

        In the event of Employer elects to terminate your employment under this Agreement without cause, you agree that upon the effective date of such termination, you and Employer shall then enter into a consulting agreement (the "Consulting Agreement") pursuant to which Employer will retain your services as a consultant of Employer for a period of equal to the remaining Employment Term following such termination and for a period of additional two (2) years through March 31, 2007 (the "Consulting Period"). The Consulting Agreement shall provide for, among other things:

(a)

payment of consulting fees to you in the following amounts: (i) until the Expiration Date, the amount equal to 50% of the Base Salary that would have been payable to you had your employment not been terminated, such Base Salary to be determined in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 2(a) of this Agreement, and (ii) following the Expiration Date, $250,000 per annum. Payment of consulting fees shall be made in accordance with Employer's standard payroll practices and will be subject to Withholding;



(b)

that you shall continue to receive those benefits described in Paragraph 6 above;



(c)

that you shall not be restricted from engaging (including, without limitation, as an officer, director, shareholder, owner, partner, joint venturer, member or in a managerial capacity, or as an employee, independent contractor, consultant, advisor or sales representative) in such activities as you deem appropriate to engage in during the Consulting Term, provided that such activities or activities of any entity to which you are providing services shall not be directly competitive with the activities of Employer or any of its affiliates (regardless of whether Employer engaged in such activities prior to the commencement of the Consulting Agreement or may commence engaging in such activities at any time during the Consulting Term);



(d)

that you shall maintain an office at Employer's principal business location;



(e)

that you shall be required to provide no less than 20 hours per month in services under the Consulting Agreement in accordance with the directions received from the Co-Chairmen and the Board of Directors of Activision;



(f)

that you will continue to abide by all of Employer's internal rules, policies and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will remain subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8 of this Agreement, including without limitation, your agreement not to engage in solicitations of any employees of Employer and its affiliates for a period of (2) years following the termination of the Consulting Agreement; and



(g)

that you shall also remain subject to the provisions of the Employee Proprietary Information Agreement previously executed by you.

In the event Employer and you fail to execute the Consulting Agreement, then provisions of this Paragraph 11 shall govern the relationship between you and Employer until the expiration of the Consulting Period.

12.  Use of Employee's Name

        Employer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to use your name or likeness for any publicity or advertising purpose.

14.  No Conflict with Prior Agreements

        You represent to Employer that neither your commencement of employment under this Agreement nor the performance of your duties under this Agreement conflicts or will conflict with any contractual commitment on your part to any third party, nor does it or will it violate or interfere with any rights of any third party.

15.  General Provisions

        (a)    Entire Agreement.    This Agreement, including Employment Proprietary Information Agreement referred to herein, supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements and statements, whether written or oral, concerning the terms of your employment with Employer, and no amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless it is set forth in a writing signed by both Employer and Employee. To the extent that this Agreement conflicts with any of Employer's policies, procedures, rules or regulations, this Agreement shall supersede the other policies, procedures, rules or regulations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge that this Agreement supercedes the 1998 Employment Agreement and such agreement is hereby declared terminated and of no further force or effect, except that any Existing Options granted pursuant to such agreement shall remain valid in all respects and shall be governed by the terms of stock option plans and agreements pursuant to which such Existing Options were granted.

        (b)    No Broker.    You have given no indication, representation or commitment of any nature to any broker, finder, agent or other third party to the effect that any fees or commissions of any nature are, or under any circumstances might be, payable by Employer or any affiliate of Employer in connection with your employment under this Agreement.

        (c)    Waiver.    No waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any provision or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar provision or condition at the same or any prior or subsequent time.

        (d)    Prevailing Law.    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed so as to require the commission of any act contrary to law and wherever there is any conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any present or future statute, law, ordinance or regulation, the latter shall prevail, but in such event the provision of this Agreement affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within legal requirements.

        (e)    Choice of Law.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles.

        (f)    Immigration.    In accordance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, employment under this Agreement is conditioned upon satisfactory proof of your identity and legal ability to work in the United States.

        (g)    Venue and Jurisdiction.    The parties agree that all actions or proceedings initiated by either party hereto arising directly or indirectly out of this Agreement shall be litigated in federal or state court in Los Angeles, California. The parties hereto expressly submit and consent in advance to such jurisdiction and agree that service of summons and complaint or other process or papers may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to the relevant party at the address set forth below. The

parties hereto waive any claim that a federal or state court in Los Angeles, California, is an inconvenient or an improper forum.

        (h)    Severability.    If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under existing or future laws effective during the term of this Agreement, such provisions shall be fully severable, the Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal and enforceable.

        (i)    Legal Counsel.    Employee acknowledges that he has been given the opportunity to consult with legal counsel of his own choosing regarding this Agreement. Employee understands and agrees that Activision's General Counsel, or any other attorney or member of management who has discussed any term or condition of this Agreement with him, is only acting on behalf of the company and not on behalf of Employee.

        (j)    Right to Negotiate.    Employee hereby acknowledges that he has been given the opportunity to participate in the negotiation of the terms of this Agreement.

        (k)    Services Unique.    You recognize that the services being performed by you under this Agreement are of a special, unique, unusual, extraordinary and intellectual character giving them a peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated for in damages, and in the event of a breach of this Agreement by you (particularly, but without limitation, with respect to the provisions hereof relating to the exclusivity of your services and the provisions of Paragraph 8 of this Agreement).

        (l)    Injunctive Relief.    In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, you hereby agree that any remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement will be inadequate and, accordingly, each party hereby stipulates that the other is entitled to obtain injunctive relief for any such breaches or threatened breaches. The injunctive relief provided for in this paragraph is in addition to, and is not in limitation of, any and all other remedies at law or in equity otherwise available to the applicable party. The parties agree to waive the requirement of posting a bond in connection with a court's issuance of an injunction.

        (m)    Remedies Cumulative.    The remedies in this paragraph are not exclusive, and the parties shall have the right to pursue any other legal or equitable remedies to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

        (n)    Attorneys' Fees And Costs.    If either party brings an action to enforce, interpret or apply the terms of this Agreement or declare its rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action, including all appeals, shall receive all of its or his attorneys' fees, experts' fees, and all of its or his costs, in addition to such other relief as may be granted.
