Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) is responsible for developing and implementing policies and procedures that are intended to constitute and organize appropriately the Board of Directors to meet its fiduciary obligations to Progenics and our stockholders on an ongoing basis. Among its specific duties, the Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors about our corporate governance processes, assists in identifying and recruiting candidates for the Board, administers the Nominations Policy, considers nominations to the Board received from stockholders, makes recommendations to the Board regarding the membership and chairs of the Board’s committees, oversees the annual evaluation of the effectiveness of the organization of the Board and of each of its committees, periodically reviews the type and amount of Board compensation for non-employee directors and makes recommendations to the full Board regarding such compensation. The Nominating Committee also annually reports findings of fact to the Board of Directors that permit the Board to make affirmative determinations regarding each Board and committee member with respect to independence and expertise criteria established by Nasdaq Marketplace rules and SEC rules and applicable law. Charles A. Baker is the Chairman of the Nominating Committee.

 
Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is intended to assist the Board with oversight and governance and in providing a means for our management to obtain Board-level guidance and decision making between full Board meetings.

Affirmative Determinations Regarding Director Independence and Other Matters

The Board of Directors has determined each of the following directors to be an “independent director” as such term is defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15):

 
Mark F. Dalton
Paul F. Jacobson
Charles A. Baker
Kurt W. Briner
Stephen P. Goff, Ph.D.

The Board of Directors has also determined that each member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee meets the independence requirements applicable to those committees prescribed by the Nasdaq Marketplace rules, the SEC and the Internal Revenue Service.

With the assistance of our legal counsel, the Nominating Committee reviewed the applicable legal standards for Board member and Board committee independence and the criteria applied to determine “audit committee financial expert” status, as well as the answers to annual questionnaires completed by each of our directors. On the basis of this review, the Nominating Committee delivered a report to the full Board of Directors and the Board made its independence and “audit committee financial expert” determinations based upon the Nominating Committee’s report and each member’s review of the information made available to the Nominating Committee.

Stockholder Communications with the Board; Board Attendance at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Stockholders may communicate with the Board of Directors by writing to the Board of Directors c/o the Corporate Secretary at our corporate headquarters.

It is our policy that the members of the Board of Directors attend annual meetings of our stockholders. All of the members of our Board attended the 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Code of Business Ethics and Conduct

We have a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct which is applicable to all of our directors, employees and consultants. The Code meets the criteria for a “code of ethics” under the SEC rules and “code of conduct” under the Nasdaq Marketplace rules. The Code is available on our website at: http://www.progenics.com/investors/corpgovern.html.

Our Director Nominations Process

The Charter for the Nominating Committee includes our Director Nominations Policy. The purpose of the Nominations Policy is to describe the criteria for Board member candidates and the process by which candidates for possible inclusion in our recommended slate of director nominees are selected. The Nominations Policy is administered by the Nominating Committee. You may find the Nominating Committee’s Charter on our website at:  http://www.progenics.com/investors/corpgovern.html.

 

 
Minimum Criteria for Board Members

Each Board candidate must possess at least the following specific minimum qualifications:

 
Each candidate shall be prepared to represent the best interests of all of our stockholders and not just one particular constituency.
     
 
Each candidate shall be an individual who has demonstrated integrity and ethics in his or her personal and professional life and has established a record of professional accomplishment in his or her chosen field.
     
 
No candidate, or family member (as defined in the Nasdaq Marketplace rules) or affiliate or associate (each as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of a candidate, shall have any material personal, financial or professional interest in any of our present or potential competitors.
     
 
Each candidate shall be prepared to participate fully in Board activities, including, if eligible, active membership on at least one Board committee and attendance at, and active participation in, meetings of the Board and any committee of which he or she is a member, and not have other personal or professional commitments that would, in the Nominating Committee’s sole judgment, interfere with or limit his or her ability to do so.
   
 
Desirable Qualities and Skills

In addition, the Nominating Committee also considers it desirable that candidates possess the following qualities or skills:

 
Each candidate should contribute to the Board’s overall diversity — diversity being broadly construed to mean a variety of opinions, perspectives, personal and professional experiences and backgrounds, as well as other differentiating characteristics.
     
 
Each candidate should contribute positively to the collaborative culture among Board members.
     
 
Each candidate should possess professional and personal experiences and expertise relevant to our goal of being a leading biopharmaceutical company. At this stage of our development, relevant experiences might include, among other things, large biotechnology or pharmaceutical company CEO or senior management experience, senior-level management experience in medical research or clinical development activities in the fields of oncology, virology, immunology or molecular biology within a public company or large university setting, and relevant senior-level expertise in one or more of the following areas: finance, accounting, sales and marketing, organizational development and public relations.
   
 
Internal Process for Identifying Candidates

The Nominating Committee has two primary methods for identifying candidates (other than those proposed by our stockholders, as discussed below). First, on a periodic basis, the Nominating Committee may solicit suggestions for possible candidates from a number of sources, which may include members of the Board, senior-level Progenics executives, individuals personally known to the members of the Board, and research.

Second, the Nominating Committee may use its authority under its Charter to retain, at our expense, one or more search firms to identify candidates (and to approve such firms’ fees and other retention terms). If the Nominating Committee retains a search firm, it may be asked to identify possible candidates who meet the minimum and desired qualifications expressed in the Nominations Policy, to interview and screen such candidates (including conducting appropriate background and reference checks), to act as a liaison among the

5


Back to Contents

Board, the Nominating Committee and each candidate during the screening and evaluation process and thereafter to be available for consultation as needed by the Nominating Committee.

The Nominating Committee will also consider properly submitted stockholder nominations for candidates for membership on the Board as described below under “Nomination of Directors by Stockholders.”

 
Nomination of Directors by Stockholders

Any of our stockholders may recommend one or more persons for election as a director at an annual meeting of stockholders if the stockholder complies with the procedures and requirements set forth below.

In order for the director nomination to be timely, a stockholder’s notice to our Corporate Secretary must be delivered to our principal executive offices not less than 120 days prior to the anniversary of the date of the proxy statement released to stockholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting. In the event that we set an annual meeting date that is not within 30 days before or after the date of the immediately preceding annual stockholders meeting, notice by the stockholder must be received no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever occurs first.

Any candidate proposed by a stockholder must be independent of the stockholder providing the nomination in all respects as determined by the Nominating Committee or by applicable law. Any candidate submitted by a stockholder must also meet the definition of an “independent director” under the Nasdaq Marketplace rules and must meet the “Minimum Criteria for Board Members” set forth above.

 
Evaluation of Candidates

The Nominating Committee will consider all candidates identified through the processes described above, and will evaluate each of them, including incumbents, based on the same criteria.

If, based on the Nominating Committee’s initial evaluation, a candidate continues to be of interest to the Nominating Committee, the Chairman of the Nominating Committee will interview the candidate and communicate the Chairman’s evaluation to the other Nominating Committee members, the Co-Chairmen of the Board and the CEO. Later reviews will be conducted by other members of the Nominating Committee and senior management. Ultimately, background and reference checks will be conducted and the Nominating Committee will meet to finalize its list of recommended candidates for the Board’s consideration.

 
Timing of the Identification and Evaluation Process

Our fiscal year ends each year on December 31. The Nominating Committee expects generally to meet one or more times prior to March 31 of each year to consider, among other things, candidates to be recommended to the Board for inclusion in our recommended slate of director nominees for the next annual meeting and our proxy statement. The Board usually meets each March and at that meeting will vote on, among other things, the slate of director nominees to be submitted to and recommended for election by stockholders at the annual meeting, which is typically held in May.

All candidates (whether identified internally or by a nomination received from a stockholder) who, after evaluation, are then recommended by the Nominating Committee and approved by the Board, will be included in our recommended slate of director nominees in our proxy statement.

 
Future Revisions to the Nominations Policy

The Nominations Policy is intended to provide a flexible set of guidelines for the effective functioning of our director nominations process. The Nominating Committee intends to review the Nominations Policy at least annually and anticipates that modifications may be necessary or desirable from time to time as our needs and circumstances evolve, and as applicable legal or listing standards change. The Nominating Committee may amend the Nominations Policy at any time, in which case the most current version will be available on our web site at:  http:// www.progenics.com/investors/corpgovern.html.

Employment Agreements
   
 
Paul J. Maddon, M.D., Ph.D.

On December 31, 2003, we entered into an employment agreement with Paul J. Maddon, M.D., Ph.D. pursuant to which Dr. Maddon serves as our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Science Officer. The agreement provides for Dr. Maddon to receive an initial annual salary of $499,859 for 2003, which will increase at a rate of not less than 3% per year, and a discretionary bonus in an amount to be determined by the Board of Directors. Dr. Maddon’s salary in 2004 was $515,000.

In June 2003, we granted Dr. Maddon two ten-year options, each to purchase 112,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $15.06 per share. The first grant vests in equal portions on June 30 of each of 2004,

8


Back to Contents

2005, 2006 and 2007. The second grant will vest on May 29, 2013, subject to acceleration upon the achievement of certain clinical, financial and operational milestones. On July 1, 2004, we granted Dr. Maddon two ten-year options, each to purchase 37,500 shares of common stock each at an exercise price of $16.85 per share. The first grant vests in equal portions on June 30 of each of 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. The second grant will vest on May 29, 2014, subject to acceleration upon the achievement of certain clinical, financial and operational milestones. On January 10, 2005, we granted 25,000 shares of restricted stock to Dr. Maddon as additional long term incentive compensation pursuant to his employment agreement. The restrictions on the stock lapse over four years, beginning June 20, 2005.

The initial term of the agreement expires on July 1, 2005, and may be extended to July 1, 2007 absent 90-day notice of non-extension by either party. If the agreement is not renewed under certain circumstances, Dr. Maddon would be entitled, in addition to salary and expense reimbursement through the date of the expiration of the agreement, to a lump sum equal to Dr. Maddon’s annual salary and average bonus (as defined in the agreement), benefits for a period of one year and acceleration of vesting of options. We are currently in discussions with Dr. Maddon regarding the renewal of his employment agreement and expect that the agreement will be renewed.

The agreement provides that, upon termination by us without cause (as defined in the agreement) or by Dr. Maddon for good reason (as defined in the agreement, which includes Dr. Maddon’s failure to be our director other than by reason of his resignation), we will pay to Dr. Maddon a lump sum equal to two times the sum of Dr. Maddon’s annual salary and average bonus (as defined in the agreement), we will continue for two years to provide Dr. Maddon benefits and the options referred to above will become fully vested and exercisable. Upon termination by us without cause or by Dr. Maddon for good reason within two years following a change in control (as defined in the agreement), or upon termination by us without cause within three months preceding a change in control, we will pay to Dr. Maddon a lump sum equal to three times the sum of Dr. Maddon’s salary and average bonus, we will continue for three years to provide Dr. Maddon benefits and the options referred to above will become fully vested and exercisable. In the event that any payment under the agreement constitutes an excess parachute payment under Section 280G of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, Dr. Maddon will be entitled to additional gross-up payments such that the net amount retained by Dr. Maddon after deduction of any excise taxes and all other taxes on the gross-up payments will be equal to the net amount that would have been retained from the initial payments under the agreement.

 
Robert J. Israel, M.D.

We have an employment arrangement with Robert J. Israel, M.D. pursuant to which he serves as our Senior Vice President, Medical Affairs at an annual salary in 2005 of $312,000 and is entitled to nine months’ salary if his employment is terminated by us without cause.

 
Ronald J. Prentki

On March 4, 2005, Ronald J. Prentki notified us of his resignation as our President and a Director. Mr. Prentki is leaving to pursue other interests. Mr. Prentki served as our President pursuant to an employment agreement dated May 16, 2001. The agreement required us to pay Mr. Prentki salary at an initial annual rate of $317,000, subject to annual review and increase by our Board of Directors or a committee thereof. The agreement provided that, upon termination by us without cause (as defined in the agreement) or by Mr. Prentki for good reason (as defined in the agreement), we would continue for one year to pay Mr. Prentki’s annual salary and benefits and a bonus based on the bonus paid to Mr. Prentki in the year prior to such termination. Because Mr. Prentki voluntarily terminated his employment, we are not required under the agreement to make the payments described in the preceding sentence.

On May 16, 2001, we granted to Mr. Prentki two ten-year stock options pursuant to the employment agreement. The first grant was an option to purchase 225,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $14.06 per share, such option vesting in equal portions in six-month increments over the term of the agreement. The second grant was a ten-year option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $14.06 per share, which would have vested on May 16, 2010 subject to accelerated vesting on the achievement of certain valuation- based milestones. On July 1, 2004, we granted to Mr. Prentki a ten-year option to purchase

Back to Contents

36,800 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $16.85 per share. The option would have vested on June 1, 2014 subject to accelerated vesting on the achievement of certain clinical, financial and operational milestones. The 2001 options and the 2004 options are exercisable by Mr. Prentki, to the extent previously vested, for six months following his resignation.

Each of the employment agreements of Dr. Maddon, Dr. Israel and Mr. Prentki contain certain restrictive covenants for our benefit relating to non-disclosure by the executives of our confidential business information, our right to inventions and intellectual property, non- solicitation of our employees and customers and non-competition by the executives with our business.

Indebtedness of Management

On February 16, 2000, we entered into an agreement to provide Dr. Israel with a loan of up to $100,000 to assist in the purchase of a home closer to our principal place of business. The loan was evidenced by a promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 6% per year and calling for $10,000 principal payments on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Under the agreement with Dr. Israel, principal and interest under the promissory note was forgiven and treated as additional compensation so long as Dr. Israel was our employee when such amounts become due. At December 31, 2004, $100,000 had been extended under the loan agreement and $114,756, comprising the full amount due, had been forgiven.

Compensation of Directors

Kurt W. Briner and Paul F. Jacobson each receive $40,000 as compensation for their services as Co-Chairmen of the Board. In addition, on January 10, 2005, the Board of Directors granted to each of Messrs. Briner and Jacobson an option to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $15.98 per share, 10,000 shares of which vested immediately, with the remaining shares to vest on December 31, 2005.

In addition to the above retainer fees and option grants, Messrs. Briner and Jacobson receive compensation for their services as non-employee directors of Progenics. Our non-employee directors are entitled to payment for their services as follows:

an option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock granted annually on each July 1 with an exercise price equal to the fair market value as of the date of grant, provided that with regard to the option grant on July 1, 2005, Messrs.

Dr. Scheinberg received $28,000 and 5,000 stock options, granted in quarterly increments of 1,250 shares per quarter with a strike price equal to fifty percent (50%) of the average closing price for the thirty trading days preceding the grant, for his service on our Scientific Advisory Board. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, we had a compensation expense of $79,640 with respect to the options granted to Dr. Scheinberg for his service on our Scientific Advisory Board.

Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on Executive Compensation

During 2004, the Compensation Committee of Progenics’ Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) consisted of three non-employee directors: Mark F. Dalton, as Chairman, Charles A. Baker and Paul F. Jacobson. Each of the members of the Compensation Committee has been affirmatively determined by the Board of Directors to be an “independent director” as defined by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). The Compensation Committee operates under a written Charter adopted by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors as a whole.

The Compensation Committee’s policies applicable to the compensation of Progenics’ executive officers are based on the principle that total compensation should be set to attract and retain those executives critical to the overall success of Progenics and should reward executives for their contributions to the enhancement of stockholder value.

The key elements of the executive compensation package are base salary, employee benefits applicable to all employees, an annual discretionary bonus and long-term incentive compensation, typically in the form of stock options. In general, the Compensation Committee has adopted the policy that compensation for executive officers should be competitive with that paid by leading biotechnology companies for corresponding senior executives. The Compensation Committee also believes that it is important to have stock options constitute a substantial portion of executive compensation in order to align the interests of executives with those of the stockholders.

In determining the compensation for each executive officer, the Compensation Committee generally considers (i) data from outside studies and proxy materials regarding compensation of executive officers at comparable companies, (ii) the input of other directors regarding individual performance of each executive officer and (iii) qualitative measures of Progenics’ performance such as progress in the development of the company’s products, the engagement of corporate partners for the commercial development and marketing of products and the success of Progenics in raising the funds necessary to conduct research and development. The Compensation Committee’s consideration of such factors is subjective and informal. In 2004, the Compensation Committee also employed an outside consulting firm to evaluate the compensation of executive officers in comparison with similar officers at peer companies.

The compensation of Dr. Paul J. Maddon, the Chief Executive Officer of Progenics, for 2004 consisted of the $515,000 in annual salary and $150,000 in a year-end discretionary bonus. In determining the terms of Dr. Maddon’s employment, including Dr. Maddon’s compensation thereunder, the Compensation Committee was mindful of the importance of Dr. Maddon’s leadership and contributions to Progenics’ progress in its programs in HIV therapeutics, symptom management and supportive care therapeutics and cancer therapeutics, Progenics’ achievements and progress in the past and the prospect that Dr. Maddon will continue to make significant contributions to Progenics’ performance in the future.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify such individuals to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law for certain liabilities to which they may become subject as a result of their affiliation with us.

On July 1, 2001 and September 1, 2001, we contracted with the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University to perform certain specified research services relating to identified research and development projects. The contracts provide that the required research will be performed by an Albert Einstein research center laboratory headed by Tatjana Dragic, Ph.D., who is the spouse of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Science Officer. In 2004, we paid Albert Einstein College of Medicine $87,839 for their services. In addition, we employ two research scientists at an aggregate cost of approximately $141,077 and who are assigned to Dr. Dragic’s laboratory to assist with research being performed on our behalf.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE

Based solely on a review of the reports under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and representations furnished to us with respect to the last fiscal year, we believe that each of the persons required to file such reports is in compliance with all applicable filing requirements, except for the following: Dr. Maddon, Mr. Jacobson, Dr. Goff, Mr. Dalton, Mr. Briner and Mr. Baker each filed a late Form 4, relating to one transaction each; Mr. Prentki, Mr. McKinney and Dr. Israel each filed two late Form 4s, relating to four, eight and seven transactions, respectively; Dr. Scheinberg filed three late Form 4s, relating to eight transactions. In addition, Mr. Prentki, Mr. McKinney and Dr. Israel each filed a Form 5 on February 14, 2005 to report employee stock options received in January, April, July and October of 2004 pursuant to our Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Dr. Maddon filed a Form 5 on February 14, 2005 to report the transfer of shares in October 2004 to a trust, of which his spouse is the beneficiary, and the receipt of Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan options in January, April, July and October of 2004. Our former General Counsel, Philip Yachmetz, failed to report Non-Qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan options received in January and April of 2004. We are continuing to monitor the effectiveness of our policies and procedures which are designed to ensure compliance with Section 16 reporting requirements.

VOTING

Those nominees receiving a plurality of the votes cast will be elected directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the election.

Our Board of Directors deems the election of the seven nominees listed above as directors to be in our and our stockholders’ best interests and recommends a vote “FOR” their election.

PROPOSAL II: APPROVAL OF THE 2005 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

The Board of Directors has adopted our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the “Plan”, subject to stockholder approval, to provide for the award of equity-based and other incentive compensation to our employees, officers, directors, consultants, advisors and other individual service providers. The Plan provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, stock awards and performance awards. The Plan will allow us to make awards that qualify as “performance-based compensation” under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the “Code”.

The Board has adopted the Plan because the shares originally reserved for issuance under our Amended and Restated 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, which we refer to in this proxy statement as the “Prior Plan”, are expected to be fully utilized in the near term. The Prior Plan will continue in effect until either the remaining shares authorized for issuance under such plan (approximately 261,079 shares as of April 6, 2005) are utilized or such plan terminates in accordance with its terms, if earlier.

The following is a summary of the material terms of the Plan. This summary is qualified by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Annex A.

Description of the Plan

Purpose.     The purpose of the Plan is to further align the interests of our employees, officers, directors, consultants, advisors and other individual service providers with those of the stockholders by providing incentive compensation opportunities tied to the performance of our common stock and by promoting increased ownership of our common stock by such individuals. The Plan is also intended to advance our interests and those of our stockholders by helping to attract, retain and motivate personnel upon whose judgment, initiative and effort the successful conduct of our business is largely dependent.

Reservation of Shares.     Subject to stockholder approval at the 2005 Annual Meeting, and subject to adjustments as described below, the maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the Plan will be 2,000,000 shares. From such aggregate Plan limit, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under all awards of restricted stock awards, stock unit awards and stock awards under the Plan shall be limited in the aggregate to 1,000,000 shares. Shares of our common stock issued and sold under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares or shares held in our treasury. To the extent that any award under the Plan payable in shares of common stock is forfeited, cancelled, returned to us for failure to satisfy vesting requirements or upon the occurrence of other forfeiture events, or otherwise terminates without payment being made thereunder, the shares of common stock covered thereby will no longer be charged against the foregoing maximum share limitations and may again be made subject to awards under the Plan. In addition, any shares of common stock exchanged by a participant or withheld from a participant as full or partial payment to us of the exercise price or the tax withholding upon exercise or payment of an award under the Plan will be returned to the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan. Any awards settled in cash will not be counted against the share limitations under the Plan.

Adjustments.     In the event of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other distribution with respect to our common stock, or any merger, reorganization, consolidation, combination, spin-off or other similar corporate change, or any other change affecting our common stock, appropriate and equitable adjustments may be made to the number and kind of shares of common stock available for grant, as well as to other maximum limitations under the Plan, and the number and kind of shares of common stock or other rights and prices under outstanding awards to prevent dilution or enlargement of a participant’s rights under an award.

Administration.     The Plan is to be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee shall, to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Board, be constituted so each committee member will satisfy the requirements for (i) an “independent director” as defined by the Nasdaq Marketplace rules, (ii) a “non-employee director” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (iii) an “outside director” under section 162(m) of the Code. Subject to the limitations set forth in the

14


Back to Contents

Plan, the Compensation Committee has the authority to determine the persons to whom awards are to be granted, the types of awards to be granted, the time at which awards will be granted, the number of shares of common stock, units or other rights subject to each award, the exercise, base or purchase price of an award, the time or times at which the award will become vested, exercisable or payable, the performance criteria, performance goals and other conditions of an award, and the duration of the award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Compensation Committee shall have the authority to amend the terms of an award in any manner that is permitted by the Plan for the grant of an award, provided that no such action shall adversely effect the rights of a participant with respect to an outstanding award without the participant’s consent. The Compensation Committee will have the right, from time to time, to delegate to one or more of our officers the authority of the Compensation Committee to grant and determine the terms and conditions of awards, subject to certain limitations. Any awards under the plan made to non-employee members of the Board must be approved by the Board.

Eligibility.     Awards under the Plan may be granted to any of our current or prospective employees, officers, directors, consultants, advisors or other individual service providers. As of April 6, 2005, we had 131 employees.

Stock Options.     Stock options granted under the Plan may be issued as either incentive stock options, within the meaning of section 422 of the Code, or as nonqualified stock options. The exercise price of an option will be not less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant of the option, or such higher amount as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee will determine the vesting and/or exercisability requirements and the term of exercise of each option, including the effect of termination of employment or service of a participant. Such vesting requirements may be based on the continued employment or service of the participant for a specified time period or on the attainment of specified business performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may accelerate the vesting of options at any time. The maximum term of an option will be ten years from the date of grant. In the case of incentive stock options, for purposes of section 422 of the Code, the maximum value of shares of common stock (determined at the time of grant) that may be subject to incentive stock options that become exercisable by an employee in any one year is limited to $100,000. Subject to adjustments as described above, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be covered under options granted under the Plan to any participant in any calendar year is 750,000 shares of common stock.

To exercise an option, the participant must pay the exercise price, subject to specified conditions, (i) in cash, (ii) in shares of common stock that have been held for at least six months, (iii) through an open-market broker-assisted transaction, (iv) by combination of any of the above methods, or (v) by such other method approved by the Compensation Committee, and must pay any required tax withholding amounts. All options are nontransferable except upon death by the participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution or, in the case of nonqualified options, to a participant’s “family member” (as defined for purposes of the Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933), or as otherwise permitted by the Committee, in each case as may be approved by the Compensation Committee in its discretion at the time of the proposed transfer. To the extent required by the applicable rules, regulations or listing requirements adopted by the Nasdaq Stock Market, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Plan prohibits the cancellation, substitution or amendment of an option for the purpose of reducing the exercise price of a previously granted option, except for equitable adjustments for any recapitalization, reclassification or other change in our corporate structure, as described above.

Stock Appreciation Rights.     A stock appreciation right may be granted either in tandem with an option or without a related option. A stock appreciation right entitles the participant, upon settlement or exercise, to receive a payment based on the excess of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of settlement or exercise over the base price of the right, multiplied by the number of shares of common stock as to which the right is being settled or exercised. Stock appreciation rights may be granted on a basis that allows for the exercise of the right by the participant or that provides for the automatic payment of the right upon a specified date or event. The base price of a stock appreciation right may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant. The Compensation Committee will determine the vesting requirements and the term of exercise of each stock appreciation right, including the effect of termination of employment or service of a participant. Such vesting requirements may be based on the continued employment or service of the participant for a specified time period or on the attainment of specified business performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may accelerate the vesting of stock appreciation

rights at any time. The maximum term of a stock appreciation right will be ten years from the date of grant. Subject to adjustments as described above, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan to any participant during any calendar year is 750,000 shares of common stock. Subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code, stock appreciation rights may be payable in cash or in shares of common stock or in a combination of both. To the extent required by the applicable rules, regulations or listing requirements adopted by the Nasdaq Stock Market, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, the Plan prohibits the cancellation, substitution or amendment of a stock appreciation right for the purpose of reducing the exercise price of a previously granted stock appreciation right, except for equitable adjustments for any recapitalization, reclassification or other change in our corporate structure, as described above.

Restricted Stock Awards.     A restricted stock award represents shares of our common stock that are issued subject to restrictions on transfer and vesting requirements as determined by the Compensation Committee. Such vesting requirements may be based on the continued employment or service of the participant for a specified time period or on the attainment of specified business performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may accelerate the vesting of a restricted stock award at any time. Subject to the transfer restrictions and vesting requirements of the award, the participant will have the rights of a Progenics stockholder, including all voting and dividend rights, during the restriction period, unless the Compensation Committee determines otherwise at the time of the grant. Subject to adjustments as described above, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to restricted stock awards granted under the Plan to any participant during any calendar year is 250,000 shares of common stock.

Stock Units.     An award of stock units provides the participant the right to receive a payment based on the value of a share of common stock. Stock units may be subject to vesting requirements, restrictions and conditions to payment as determined by the Compensation Committee. Such vesting requirements may be based on the continued employment or service of the participant for a specified time period or on the attainment of specified business performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may accelerate the vesting of a stock unit award at any time. A stock unit award may also be granted on a fully vested basis, with a deferred payment date. A stock unit award shall become payable to a participant at the time or times determined by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the award agreement, which may be upon or following the vesting of the award. Stock unit awards are payable in cash or in shares of common stock or in a combination of both. Stock units may also be granted together with related dividend equivalent rights. Subject to adjustments as described above, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to stock units granted under the Plan to any participant during any calendar year is 250,000 shares of common stock.

Stock Awards.     A stock award represents shares of common stock that are issued free of restrictions on transfer and free of forfeiture conditions and to which the participant is entitled all incidents of ownership. A stock award may be granted for past services, in lieu of bonus or other cash compensation, directors’ fees or for any other valid purpose as determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may, in connection with any stock award, require the payment of a specified purchase price. Upon the issuance of shares of common stock under a stock award, the participant shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to such shares of common stock, including the right to vote the shares and receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto. Subject to adjustments as described above, the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be subject to stock awards granted under the Plan to any participant during any calendar year is 250,000 shares of common stock.

Performance Awards.     The Compensation Committee may grant performance awards under the Plan, which shall represent the right to receive a payment in cash if performance goals established by the Compensation Committee for a performance period are satisfied. The Compensation Committee may grant performance awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under section 162(m) of the Code, as well as performance awards that are not intended to so qualify. At the time a performance award is granted, the Compensation Committee will determine, in its sole discretion, the applicable performance period and performance goals to be achieved during the performance period, as well as such other conditions as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate. The Compensation Committee may also determine a target payment amount or a range of payment amounts for each award. The maximum amount of compensation that may be payable to a participant during any one calendar year with respect to performance awards is $1 million. In

the case of performance awards that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under section 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee will designate performance criteria from among the criteria set forth below.

Section 162(m) Awards.     Awards of options and stock appreciation rights granted under the Plan are intended by their terms to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception under section 162(m) of the Code. In addition, the Compensation Committee may grant awards of restricted stock, stock units, stock awards or performance awards that are intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception under section 162(m) of the Code. Under section 162(m), the terms of the award must state, in terms of an objective formula or standard, the method of computing the amount of compensation payable under the award, and must preclude discretion to increase the amount of compensation payable under the terms of the award (but may give the Compensation Committee discretion to decrease the amount of compensation payable). For each such award, the performance criteria upon which the payment or vesting may be based shall be limited to one or more of the following performance measures, which may be applied with respect to Progenics, any subsidiary or any business unit: (i) total stockholder return; (ii) stock price increase; (iii) return on equity; (iv) return on capital; (v) return on investment; (vi) earnings per share, diluted or basic; (vii) EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes); (viii) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes depreciation, and amortization); (ix) cash flow (including operating cash flow, free cash flow, discounted cash flow, and cash flow in excess of costs of capital); (x) net or gross revenue; (xi) operating expenses; (xii) gross or operating margin; (xiii) execution of a corporate collaboration agreement relating to one of our product candidates; (xiv) acceptance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or a comparable foreign regulatory authority of a final New Drug Application, a Biologic License Application or similar document; (xv) approval for marketing of one of our product candidates by the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory authority; (xvi) obtaining a specified level of financing for us, as determined by the Compensation Committee, including through government grants (or similar awards) and the issuance of securities; and (xvii) commencement of a particular stage of clinical trials for one of our product candidates. The foregoing performance criteria shall have any reasonable definitions that the Compensation Committee may specify, which may include or exclude any items specified by the Compensation Committee, including, but not limited to, any or all of the following items: discontinued operations, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items, effects of accounting changes, effects of currency or interest rate fluctuations, effects of financing activities (e.g., effect on earnings per share of issuing convertible debt securities), changes in tax rates, expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives, litigation losses, non-operating items, effects of acquisitions or divestitures and changes of law or regulation affecting our business. The foregoing performance measures may be determined on an absolute basis or relative to internal goals or relative to levels attained in prior years, or related to other companies or indices, or as ratios expressing relationships between two or more performance measures.

Effect of Change in Control.     The Compensation Committee may, in an award agreement, provide for the effect of a “change in control” (as defined in the Plan or the applicable award agreement) on an award. These provisions may include the acceleration of vesting of an award, the elimination or modification of performance or other conditions, the extension of the time for exercise or realizing gain from an award, the acceleration of payment, cash settlement of an award or other adjustments that the Compensation Committee considers appropriate.

Term; Amendment and Termination.     The term of the Plan is ten years from the date of its adoption by the Board. The Plan will terminate on April 4, 2015, unless earlier terminated by the Board. The Board may terminate or amend the Plan at any time, subject to stockholder approval under certain circumstances provided in the Plan. However, no termination or amendment of the Plan will adversely affect the rights of a participant under any previously granted award.

New Plan Benefits

During fiscal 2004, stock options were granted under the Prior Plan to the our named executive officers as set forth in the table captioned “Stock Option Grants in the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2004” above, and restricted stock was granted under the Prior Plan to our named executive officers as set forth in the table captioned “Summary Compensation Table” above. In addition, stock options were granted during the year to all of our executive officers as a group to purchase 186,800 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $17.24 per share; and 60,800 shares of restricted stock were granted to all of our executive officers as a

group. Stock options were granted to all of our other employees as a group to purchase 280,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $17.33 per share; and 88,950 shares of restricted stock were granted to all other employees of Progenics as a group. Stock options were granted to our non-employee directors as a group to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $8.11 per share; and 18,000 shares of restricted stock were granted to our non-employee directors as a group.

The terms and number of stock options or other awards to be granted in the future under the Plan are to be determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Since no such determinations have yet been made, the benefits or amounts that will be received by or allocated to our executive officers, directors or other eligible employees cannot be determined at this time.

As of April 6, 2005, the closing price on the Nasdaq National Market of our common stock was $17.48 per share.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following summarizes the United States federal income tax consequences of awards under the Plan to participants who are subject to United States tax. The tax consequences of the Plan to us and participants in other jurisdictions are not summarized below. The federal income tax treatment of certain types of awards under the Plan may be affected beginning in 2005 by recently enacted tax legislation.

Stock Options.     An optionee will not generally recognize taxable income upon the grant of a nonqualified stock option to purchase shares of common stock. Upon exercise of the option, the optionee will generally recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of common stock over the exercise price. The tax basis of the shares of common stock in the hands of the optionee will equal the exercise price paid for the shares of common stock plus the amount of ordinary compensation income the optionee recognizes upon exercise of the option, and the holding period for the shares of common stock for capital gains purposes will commence on the day the option is exercised. An optionee who sells any of the shares of common stock will recognize short-term or long-term capital gain or loss measured by the difference between the tax basis of the shares of common stock and the amount realized on the sale. We will be entitled to a federal income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary compensation income recognized by the optionee. The deduction will be allowed at the same time the optionee recognizes the income.

An optionee will not generally recognize income upon the grant of an incentive stock option to purchase shares of common stock and will not generally recognize income upon exercise of the option, provided that the optionee is our employee at all times from the date of grant until three months prior to exercise. If an optionee who has exercised an incentive stock option sells the shares of common stock acquired upon exercise more than two years after the grant date and more than one year after exercise, capital gain or loss will be recognized equal to the difference between the sales price and the exercise price. An optionee who sells the shares of common stock before the expiration of the foregoing holding periods will generally recognize ordinary income upon the sale, and we will be entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction at the same time the participant recognizes ordinary income.

Other Awards.     The current United States federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the Plan are generally in accordance with the following: (i) stock appreciation rights are generally subject to ordinary income tax at the time of exercise or settlement; (ii) restricted stock is generally subject to ordinary income tax at the time the restrictions lapse, unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant; (iii) stock units and performance awards are generally subject to ordinary income tax at the time of payment, and (iv) unrestricted stock awards are generally subject to ordinary income tax at the time of grant. In each of the foregoing cases, we will generally be entitled to a corresponding federal income tax deduction at the same time the participant recognizes ordinary income.

Section 162(m).     Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows the corporate tax deduction for certain compensation paid in excess of $1,000,000 annually to each of the chief executive officer and the four other most highly paid executive officers of publicly held companies. Awards that qualify as “performance-based compensation” are exempt from section 162(m), thus allowing us the full federal tax deduction otherwise permitted for such compensation. If approved by our stockholders, the Plan will enable the Compensation Committee to grant awards that will be exempt from the deduction limits of section 162(m).

PROPOSAL III: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 1994.

A representative of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is expected to be present at the meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if she desires to do so and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions. Although it is not required to do so, the Audit Committee is submitting the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm for ratification at the meeting. If this selection is not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider its choice.

Fees Billed for Services Rendered by our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The following table discloses the fees that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP billed for professional services rendered to us in each of the last two fiscal years:

Pre-approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services by the Audit Committee

As part of its duties, the Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the firm’s independence. On or around January of every year, the Audit Committee will review and provide pre-approval for certain types of services that may be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. If a type of service to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm has not received pre-approval during this annual process, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

During 2004, the Audit Committee of the Progenics’ Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) consisted of three non-employee directors: Paul F. Jacobson, as Chairman, Kurt W. Briner and Charles A. Baker. The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee believe that the Audit Committee’s current member composition satisfies the Nasdaq Marketplace rule that governs audit committee composition, including the requirements that Audit Committee members satisfy the criteria for Audit Committee membership as stated in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated by the SEC thereunder. The Audit Committee operates under a written Charter adopted by the Audit Committee and approved by the Board of Directors as a whole.

As set forth in its charter, the Audit Committee’s role is one of oversight. Progenics’ management is responsible for preparing Progenics’ financial statements and the independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing those financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The Audit Committee’s primary function is to assist the Board in monitoring and overseeing the integrity of Progenics’ financial statements, systems of internal control and the audit process. Additionally, the Audit Committee selects, subject to stockholder ratification, the independent registered public accounting firm for Progenics. In this context the Audit Committee has met and has reviewed and discussed with management and the independent registered public accounting firm Progenics’ audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Audit Committee has also discussed with members of the independent registered public accounting firm each of the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, issued by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.

The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from the independent registered public accounting firm required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as amended, and the Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence. When considering the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee considered whether their provision of services to Progenics beyond those rendered in connection with their audit and review of Progenics’ financial statements was compatible with maintaining their independence and discussed with them any relationships that may impact their objectivity and independence. The Audit Committee also reviewed, among other things, the amount of fees paid to the independent registered public accounting firm for audit and non-audit services in 2004. Information about the independent registered public accounting firm’s fees for 2004 is listed above in this proxy statement under “Fees Billed for Services Rendered by Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm.” Based on these discussions and considerations, the Audit Committee is satisfied as to the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

The members of the Audit Committee are not professional accountants or auditors and, in performing their oversight role, rely without independent verification on the information and representations provided to them by management and the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide an independent basis to certify that the audit of Progenics’ financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or that the independent registered public accounting firm is in fact “independent.”

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements referred to above be included in the Progenics Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Audit Committee has also determined, subject to stockholder approval, to retain PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for Progenics for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

By the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

Paul F. Jacobson, Chairman
Kurt W. Briner
Charles A. Baker

Sales of Stock by Insiders

We have established stock sale guidelines governing the way in which shares of our common stock may be sold by persons who may be considered insiders (directors, executive officers and certain key employees who we may designate from time to time). From time to time, such insiders will engage in sales of our common stock in accordance with these guidelines. These sales may be accomplished pursuant to SEC Rule 144 or pursuant to pre-arranged stock trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.

Rule 10b5-1 allows persons who may be considered insiders to establish written pre-arranged stock trading plans when they do not have material, non-public information. The plans establish predetermined trading parameters that do not permit the person adopting the plan to exercise any subsequent influence over how, when or whether to effect trades. Implementation of these plans seeks to avoid concerns about executing stock transactions when insiders may subsequently be in possession of material, non-public information. Pre-arranged stock trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 also permit our insiders to gradually diversify their investment portfolios and may minimize the market impact of stock trades by spreading them over an extended period of time.

We expect that most of our insiders will, from time to time, enter into pre-arranged stock trading plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

The proxy rules adopted by the SEC provide that certain stockholder proposals must be included in the proxy statement for our Annual Meeting.

If we receive notice after March 26, 2006 of a stockholder’s intent to present a proposal at our 2006 Annual Meeting, we will have the right to exercise discretionary voting authority with respect to such proposal, if presented at the meeting, without including information regarding such proposal in our proxy materials.

HOUSEHOLDING

We have adopted the process called “householding” for mailing the annual report and proxy statement in order to reduce printing costs and postage fees.

We will continue to mail a proxy card to each stockholder of record.

If you prefer to receive multiple copies of the proxy statement and annual report at the same address, additional copies will be provided to you promptly upon request. If you are a stockholder of record, you may contact us by writing c/o the Corporate Secretary at our corporate headquarters.

If you are a beneficial owner, you can request additional copies of the proxy statement and annual report or you can request householding by notifying your broker, bank or nominee.

Back to Contents

Section 3.2     Committee Authority.     The Committee shall have such powers and authority as may be necessary or appropriate for the Committee to carry out its functions as described in the Plan. Subject to the express limitations of the Plan, the Committee shall have authority in its discretion to determine the Eligible Persons to whom, and the time or times at which, Awards may be granted, the number of shares, units or other rights subject to each Award, the exercise, base or purchase price of an Award (if any), the time or times at which an Award will become vested, exercisable or payable, the performance criteria, performance goals and other conditions of an Award, the duration of the Award, and all other terms of the Award. Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority to amend the terms of an Award in any manner that is not inconsistent with the Plan, provided that no such action shall adversely affect the rights of a Participant with respect to an outstanding Award without the Participant’s consent. The Committee shall also have discretionary authority to interpret the Plan, to make all factual determinations under the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for Plan administration, including, without limitation, to correct any defect, to supply any omission or to reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or any Award Agreement hereunder. The Committee may prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan. The Committee’s determinations under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by the Committee selectively among Participants and Eligible Persons, whether or not such persons are similarly situated. The Committee shall, in its discretion, consider such factors as it deems relevant in making its interpretations, determinations and actions under the Plan including, without limitation, the recommendations or advice of any officer or employee of the Company or such attorneys, consultants, accountants or other advisors as it may select. All interpretations, determinations, and actions by the Committee shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all parties.

Section 3.3     Delegation of Authority.     The Committee shall have the right, from time to time, to delegate to one or more officers of the Company the authority of the Committee to grant and determine the terms and conditions of Awards granted under the Plan, subject to the requirements of section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or any successor provision) and such other limitations as the Committee shall determine. In no event shall any such delegation of authority be permitted with respect to Awards to any members of the Board or to any Eligible Person who is subject to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act or who is a covered employee under section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee shall also be permitted to delegate, to any appropriate officer or employee of the Company, responsibility for performing ministerial functions under the Plan. In the event that the Committee’s authority is delegated to officers or employees in accordance with the foregoing, all provisions of the Plan relating to the Committee shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the foregoing by treating any such reference as a reference to such officer or employee for such purpose. Any action undertaken in accordance with the Committee’s delegation of authority hereunder shall have the same force and effect as if such action was undertaken directly by the Committee and shall be deemed for all purposes of the Plan to have been taken by the Committee.

Section 3.4     Grants to Non-Employee Directors.     Any Awards or formula for granting Awards under the Plan made to non-employee directors shall be approved by the Board. With respect to awards to such directors, all rights, powers and authorities vested in the Committee under the Plan shall instead be exercised by the Board, and all provisions of the Plan relating to the Committee shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the foregoing by treating any such reference as a reference to the Board for such purpose.

4. Shares Subject to the Plan

Section 4.1     Share Limitation.     Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued under all Awards granted to Participants under the Plan shall be 2,000,000 shares. From such aggregate Plan limit, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under all Awards of Restricted Stock Awards, Stock Unit Awards and Stock Awards under the Plan shall be limited in the aggregate to 1,000,000 shares. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares or shares held in the Company’s treasury. To the extent that any Award under the Plan payable in shares of Common Stock is forfeited, cancelled, returned to the Company for failure to satisfy vesting requirements or upon the occurrence of other forfeiture events, or otherwise terminates without payment being made thereunder, the shares of Common Stock covered thereby will no longer be counted against the foregoing maximum share limitations and may again be made subject to Awards under the Plan pursuant to such limitations. In addition, any shares of Common Stock exchanged by a Participant or withheld from a Participant as full or partial payment to the Company of the exercise price or tax withholding

A-3


Back to Contents

upon exercise or payment of an Award under the Plan shall be added to the foregoing maximum share limitations and may be made subject to Awards under the Plan pursuant to such limitations. Any Awards under the Plan settled in cash shall not be counted against the foregoing maximum share limitations.

Section 4.2     Adjustments.     If there shall occur any change with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, extraordinary dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other distribution with respect to the shares of Common Stock, or any merger, reorganization, consolidation, combination, spin-off or other similar corporate change, or any other change affecting the Common Stock, the Committee may, in the manner and to the extent that it deems appropriate and equitable to the Participants and consistent with the terms of the Plan, cause an adjustment to be made in (i) the maximum numbers and kind of shares provided in Section 4.1 hereof, (ii) the maximum numbers and kind of shares or units set forth in Sections 6.1, 7.1, 8.1, 9.1 and 10.1 hereof, (iii) the numbers and kind of shares of Common Stock, units, or other rights subject to then outstanding Awards, (iv) the price for each share or unit or other right subject to then outstanding Awards, (v) the performance measures or goals relating to an Award and (vi) any other terms of an Award that are affected by the event to prevent dilution or enlargement of a Participant’s rights under an Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Incentive Stock Options, any such adjustments shall, to the extent practicable, be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of section 424(a) of the Code.

5. Participation and Awards

Section 5.1     Designation of Participants.     All Eligible Persons are eligible to be designated by the Committee to receive Awards and become Participants under the Plan. The Committee has the authority, in its discretion, to determine and designate from time to time those Eligible Persons who are to be granted Awards, the types of Awards to be granted and the number of shares of Common Stock or units subject to Awards granted under the Plan. In selecting Eligible Persons to be Participants and in determining the type and amount of Awards to be granted under the Plan, the Committee shall consider any and all factors that it deems relevant or appropriate.

Section 5.2     Determination of Awards.     The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of all Awards granted to Participants in accordance with its authority under Section 3.2 hereof. An Award may consist of one type of right or benefit hereunder or of two or more such rights or benefits granted in tandem or in the alternative. In the case of any fractional share or unit resulting from the grant, vesting, payment or crediting of dividends or dividend equivalents under an Award, the Committee shall have the discretionary authority to (i) disregard such fractional share or unit, (ii) round such fractional share or unit to the nearest lower or higher whole share or unit, or (iii) convert such fractional share or unit into a right to receive a cash payment. To the extent deemed necessary by the Committee, an Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement as described in Section 14.1 hereof.

6. Stock Options

Section 6.1     Grant of Stock Option.     A Stock Option may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof and section 422 of the Code, each Stock Option shall be designated, in the discretion of the Committee, as an Incentive Stock Option or as a Nonqualified Stock Option. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Stock Options granted to any Participant during any calendar year shall be limited to 750,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 hereof).

Section 6.2     Exercise Price.     The exercise price per share of a Stock Option shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Date of Grant, provided that the Committee may in its discretion specify for any Stock Option an exercise price per share that is higher than the Fair Market Value on the Date of Grant.

Section 6.3     Vesting of Stock Options.     The Committee shall in its discretion prescribe the time or times at which, or the conditions upon which, a Stock Option or portion thereof shall become vested and/or exercisable. The requirements for vesting and exercisability of a Stock Option may be based on the continued Service of the Participant with the Company or a Subsidiary for a specified time period (or periods) or on the attainment of a

A-4


Back to Contents

specified performance goal (or goals) established by the Committee in its discretion. The Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting or exercisability of any Stock Option at any time.

Section 6.4     Term of Stock Options.     The Committee shall in its discretion prescribe in an Award Agreement the period during which a vested Stock Option may be exercised, provided that the maximum term of a Stock Option shall be ten years from the Date of Grant. A Stock Option may be earlier terminated as specified by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement upon or following the termination of a Participant’s Service with the Company or any Subsidiary, including by reason of voluntary resignation, death, Disability, termination for cause or any other reason. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6 or in an Award Agreement, no Stock Option may be exercised at any time during the term thereof unless the Participant is then in the Service of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.5     Stock Option Exercise; Tax Withholding.     Subject to such terms and conditions as shall be specified in an Award Agreement, a Stock Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term thereof by notice in the form required by the Company, together with payment of the aggregate exercise price therefor and applicable withholding tax. Payment of the exercise price shall be made in the manner set forth in an Award Agreement, unless otherwise provided by the Committee: (i) in cash or by cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee; (ii) by payment in shares of Common Stock that have been held by the Participant for at least six months (or such period as the Committee may deem appropriate for accounting purposes or otherwise), valued at the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of exercise; (iii) through an open-market broker-assisted sales transaction pursuant to which the Company is promptly delivered the amount of proceeds necessary to satisfy the exercise price; (iv) by a combination of the foregoing methods; or (v) by such other method as may be approved by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement. In addition to and at the time of payment of the exercise price, the Participant shall pay to the Company the full amount of any and all applicable income tax, employment tax and other amounts required to be withheld in connection with such exercise, payable under such of the methods described above for the payment of the exercise price as may be approved by the Committee and set forth in an Award Agreement.

Section 6.6     Limited Transferability of Nonqualified Stock Options.     All Stock Options shall be nontransferable except (i) upon the Participant’s death, in accordance with Section 14.3 hereof or (ii) in the case of Nonqualified Stock Options only, for the transfer of all or part of the Stock Option to a Participant’s “family member” (as defined for purposes of the Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933), or as otherwise permitted by the Committee, in each case as may be approved by the Committee in its discretion at the time of proposed transfer. The transfer of a Nonqualified Stock Option may be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may in its discretion impose from time to time. Subsequent transfers of a Nonqualified Stock Option shall be prohibited other than in accordance with Section 14.3 hereof.

Section 6.7     Additional Rules for Incentive Stock Options.

  (i)
Eligibility.     An Incentive Stock Option may only be granted to an Eligible Person who is considered an employee under Treasury Regulation §1.421-7(h) of the Company or any Subsidiary.
     
  (ii)
Annual Limits.     No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to an Eligible Person as a result of which the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Date of Grant) of the stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time in any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plans of the Company or any Subsidiary would exceed $100,000, determined in accordance with section 422(d) of the Code. This limitation shall be applied by taking Incentive Stock Options into account in the order in which granted.
     
  (iii)
Ten Percent Stockholders.     If a Stock Option granted under the Plan is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, and if the Participant, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing ten percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Common Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, then (A) the Stock Option exercise price per share shall in no event be less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of such grant and (B) such Stock Option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years following the date such Stock Option is granted.
     
  (iv)
Termination of Employment.     An Award of an Incentive Stock Option may provide that such Stock Option may be exercised not later than 3 months following termination of employment of the

A-5


Back to Contents

   
Participant with the Company and all Subsidiaries, or not later than one year following death or a permanent and total disability within the meaning of section 22(e)(3) of the Code, as and to the extent determined by the Committee to comply with the requirements of section 422 of the Code.
     
  (v)
Other Terms and Conditions; Nontransferability.     Any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, as are deemed necessary or desirable by the Committee, which terms, together with the terms of the Plan, shall be intended and interpreted to cause such Incentive Stock Option to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under section 422 of the Code. An Award Agreement for an Incentive Stock Option may provide that such Stock Option shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option to the extent that certain requirements applicable to “incentive stock options” under the Code shall not be satisfied. An Incentive Stock Option shall by its terms be nontransferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of a Participant only by such Participant.
     
  (vi)
Disqualifying Dispositions.     If shares of Common Stock acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option are disposed of within two years following the Date of Grant or one year following the transfer of such shares to the Participant upon exercise, the Participant shall, promptly following such disposition, notify the Company in writing of the date and terms of such disposition and provide such other information regarding the disposition as the Company may reasonably require.

Section 6.8     Repricing of Stock Options Prohibited.     As and to the extent required under the then applicable rules, regulations or listing requirements adopted by the NASDAQ for “repricings” (within the meaning of such rules, regulations or requirements), and subject to the anti-dilution adjustment provisions contained in Section 4.2 hereof, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, evidenced by a majority of votes cast, neither the Committee nor the Board shall cause the cancellation, substitution or amendment of a Stock Option that would have the effect of reducing the exercise price of such a Stock Option previously granted under the Plan, or otherwise approve any modification to such a Stock Option that would be treated as a “repricing.”

7. Stock Appreciation Rights

Section 7.1     Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights.     A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee. Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted on a basis that allows for the exercise of the right by the Participant or that provides for the automatic payment of the right upon a specified date or event. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Stock Appreciation Rights granted to any Participant during any calendar year shall be limited to 750,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 hereof).

Section 7.2     Freestanding Stock Appreciation Rights.     A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted without any related Stock Option. The Committee shall in its discretion prescribe the time or times at which, or the conditions upon which, a Stock Appreciation Right or portion thereof shall become vested and/or exercisable. The requirements for vesting and exercisability of a Stock Appreciation Right may be based on the continued Service of a Participant with the Company or a Subsidiary for a specified time period (or periods) or on the attainment of a specified performance goal (or goals) established by the Committee in its discretion. A Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable or payable at such time or times as determined by the Committee, provided that the maximum term of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be ten years from the Date of Grant. The Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting or exercisability of any Stock Appreciation Right at any time. The base price of a Stock Appreciation Right granted without any related Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the base price per share of any such freestanding Stock Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.

Section 7.3     Tandem Stock Option/Stock Appreciation Rights.     A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in tandem with a Stock Option, either at the time of grant or at any time thereafter during the term of the Stock Option. A tandem Stock Option/Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the holder to elect, as to all or any portion of the number of shares subject to the Award, to exercise either the Stock Option or the Stock Appreciation Right, resulting in the reduction of the corresponding number of shares subject to the right so

A-6


Back to Contents

exercised as well as the tandem right not so exercised. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with a Stock Option hereunder shall have a base price per share equal to the per share exercise price of the Stock Option, will be vested and exercisable at the same time or times that a related Stock Option is vested and exercisable, and will expire no later than the time at which the related Stock Option expires.

Section 7.4     Payment of Stock Appreciation Rights.     A Stock Appreciation Right will entitle the holder, upon exercise or other payment of the Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, to receive an amount determined by multiplying: (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise or payment of the Stock Appreciation Right over the base price of such Stock Appreciation Right, by (ii) the number of shares as to which such Stock Appreciation Right is exercised or paid. Subject to the requirements of section 409A of the Code, payment of the amount determined under the foregoing may be made, as approved by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, in shares of Common Stock valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise or payment, in cash, or in a combination of shares of Common Stock and cash, subject to applicable tax withholding requirements.

Section 7.5     Repricing of Stock Appreciation Rights Prohibited.     As and to the extent required under the then applicable rules, regulations or listing requirements adopted by the NASDAQ for “repricings” (within the meaning of such rules, regulations or requirements), and subject to the anti-dilution adjustment provisions contained in Section 4.2 hereof, without the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders, evidenced by a majority of votes cast, neither the Committee nor the Board shall cause the cancellation, substitution or amendment of a Stock Appreciation Right that would have the effect of reducing the base price of such a Stock Appreciation Right previously granted under the Plan, or otherwise approve any modification to such a Stock Appreciation Right that would be treated as a “repricing.”

8. Restricted Stock Awards

Section 8.1     Grant of Restricted Stock Awards.     A Restricted Stock Award may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee. The Committee may require the payment by the Participant of a specified purchase price in connection with any Restricted Stock Award. The Committee may grant Restricted Stock Awards that are Section 162(m) Awards, as well as Restricted Stock Awards that are not Section 162(m) Awards. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Restricted Stock Awards granted to a Participant during any one calendar year shall be limited to 250,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 hereof).

Section 8.2     Vesting Requirements.     The restrictions imposed on shares of Common Stock granted under a Restricted Stock Award shall lapse in accordance with the vesting requirements specified by the Committee in the Award Agreement. The requirements for vesting of a Restricted Stock Award may be based on the continued Service of the Participant with the Company or its Subsidiaries for a specified time period (or periods) or on the attainment of a specified performance goal (or goals) established by the Committee in its discretion. The Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting of a Restricted Stock Award at any time. In the case of any Restricted Stock Award that is a Section 162(m) Award, any such performance-based vesting requirements shall be based upon the performance criteria identified in Section 12.2 hereof, and the terms of the Award shall otherwise comply with the requirements described in Section 12.3 hereof. If the vesting requirements of a Restricted Stock Award shall not be satisfied, the Award shall be forfeited and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award shall be returned to the Company. In the event that the Participant paid any purchase price with respect to such forfeited shares, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the Company will refund to the Participant the lesser of (i) such purchase price and (ii) the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of forfeiture.

Section 8.3     Restrictions.     Shares granted under any Restricted Stock Award may not be transferred, assigned or subject to any encumbrance, pledge, or charge until all applicable restrictions are removed or have expired, unless otherwise allowed by the Committee. Failure to satisfy any applicable restrictions shall result in the shares subject to the Restricted Stock Award being forfeited and returned to the Company. In the event that the Participant paid any purchase price with respect to such forfeited shares, unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an Award Agreement, the Company will refund to the Participant the lesser of (i) such purchase price and (ii) the Fair Market Value of such shares on the date of forfeiture. The Committee may require in an Award Agreement that certificates representing the shares granted under a Restricted Stock Award bear a legend

making appropriate reference to the restrictions imposed, and that certificates representing the shares granted or sold under a Restricted Stock Award will remain in the physical custody of an escrow holder until all restrictions are removed or have expired.

Section 8.4     Rights as Stockholder.     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 8 and the applicable Award Agreement, the Participant shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares granted to the Participant under a Restricted Stock Award, including the right to vote the shares and receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto, unless the Committee determines otherwise at the time the Restricted Stock Award is granted. The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement for the payment of dividends and distributions to the Participant at such times as paid to stockholders generally or at the times of vesting or other payment of the Restricted Stock Award.

Section 8.5     Section 83(b) Election.     If a Participant makes an election pursuant to section 83(b) of the Code with respect to a Restricted Stock Award, the Participant shall file, within 30 days following the Date of Grant, a copy of such election with the Company and with the Internal Revenue Service, in accordance with the regulations under section 83 of the Code. The Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that the Restricted Stock Award is conditioned upon the Participant’s making or refraining from making an election with respect to the Award under section 83(b) of the Code.

9. Stock Unit Awards

Section 9.1     Grant of Stock Unit Awards.     A Stock Unit Award may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee. The value of each stock unit under a Stock Unit Award is equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the applicable date or time period of determination, as specified by the Committee. The Committee may grant Stock Unit Awards that are Section 162(m) Awards, as well as Stock Unit Awards that are not Section 162(m) Awards. The maximum number of units that may be subject to Stock Unit Awards granted to a Participant during any one calendar year shall be limited to 250,000 units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 hereof). A Stock Unit Award shall be subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Committee shall determine. A Stock Unit Award may be granted together with a dividend equivalent right with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to the Award, which may be accumulated and may be deemed reinvested in additional stock units, as determined by the Committee in its discretion.

Section 9.2     Vesting of Stock Unit Awards.     On the Date of Grant, the Committee shall, in its discretion, determine any vesting requirements with respect to a Stock Unit Award, which shall be set forth in the Award Agreement. The requirements for vesting of a Stock Unit Award may be based on the continued Service of the Participant with the Company or its Subsidiaries for a specified time period (or periods) or on the attainment of a specified performance goal (or goals) established by the Committee in its discretion. The Committee may, in its discretion, accelerate the vesting of a Stock Unit Award at any time. In the case of any Stock Unit Award that is a Section 162(m) Award, any such performance-based vesting requirements shall be based upon the performance criteria identified in Section 12.2 hereof, and the terms of the Award shall otherwise comply with the requirements described in Section 12.3 hereof. A Stock Unit Award may also be granted on a fully vested basis, with a deferred payment date as may be determined by the Committee or elected by the Participant in accordance with the rules established by the Committee.

Section 9.3     Payment of Stock Unit Awards.     A Stock Unit Award shall become payable to a Participant at the time or times determined by the Committee and set forth in the Award Agreement, which may be upon or following the vesting of the Award. Payment of a Stock Unit Award may be made, at the discretion of the Committee, in cash or in shares of Common Stock, or in a combination thereof, subject to applicable tax withholding requirements. Any cash payment of a Stock Unit Award shall be made based upon the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock, determined on such date or over such time period as determined by the Committee.

Section 9.4     No Rights as Stockholder.     The Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to a Stock Unit Award until such time as shares of Common Stock are delivered to the Participant pursuant to the terms of the Award Agreement.

10. Stock Awards

Section 10.1     Grant of Stock Awards.     A Stock Award may be granted to any Eligible Person selected by the Committee. A Stock Award may be granted for past services, in lieu of bonus or other cash compensation, as directors’ compensation or for any other valid purpose as determined by the Committee. A Stock Award granted to an Eligible Person represents shares of Common Stock that are issued free of restrictions on transfer and free of forfeiture conditions and to which such Eligible Person is entitled all incidents of ownership, except as otherwise provided in the Plan and the Award Agreement. The Committee may, in connection with any Stock Award, require the payment of a specified purchase price. The Committee may grant Stock Awards that are Section 162(m) Awards, as well as Stock Awards that are not Section 162(m) Awards. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Stock Awards granted to a Participant during any one calendar year shall be limited to 250,000 shares (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 hereof).

Section 10.2     Rights as Stockholder.     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 10 and the applicable Award Agreement, upon the issuance of the shares of Common Stock under a Stock Award, the Participant shall have all rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares of Common Stock, including the right to vote the shares and receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect thereto.

11. Performance Awards

Section 11.1     Grant of Performance Awards.     The Committee may grant Performance Awards under the Plan, which shall represent the right to receive a payment in cash if performance goals established by the Committee for a performance period are satisfied. The Committee may grant Performance Awards that are Section 162(m) Awards, as well as Performance Awards that are not Section 162(m) Awards. At the time a Performance Award is granted, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, the applicable performance period and performance goals to be achieved during the performance period, as well as such other conditions as the Committee deems appropriate. The Committee may also determine a target payment amount or a range of payment amounts for each Award. The performance goals applicable to a Performance Award grant may be subject to adjustments as the Committee shall deem appropriate to reflect significant unforeseen events, such as changes in law, accounting practices or unusual or nonrecurring items or occurrences. The Committee’s authority to make such adjustments shall be subject to such limitations as the Committee deems appropriate in the case of a Performance Award that is a Section 162(m) Award. In the case of any Performance Award that is a Section 162(m) Award, performance goals shall be based upon the performance criteria identified in Section 12.2 hereof, and the terms of the Award shall otherwise comply with the requirements described in Section 12.3 hereof. The maximum amount of cash compensation that may be paid to a Participant during any one calendar year under Performance Awards shall be $1 million.

Section 11.2     Payment of Performance Awards.     At the end of the performance period, the Committee shall determine the extent to which performance goals have been attained, or a degree of achievement between minimum and maximum levels, in order to establish the level of payment to be made, if any. Payments of Performance Awards shall generally be made as soon as practicable following the end of the performance period, subject to any tax withholding requirements.

12. Section 162(m) Awards

Section 12.1     Awards.     Awards of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan are intended by their terms to qualify as Section 162(m) Awards. Restricted Stock Awards, Stock Unit Awards, Stock Awards and Performance Awards granted under the Plan may qualify as Section 162(m) Awards if the Awards are granted or become payable or vested based upon pre-established performance goals in accordance with this Section 12.

Section 12.2     Performance Criteria.     In the case of a Restricted Stock Award, Stock Unit Award, Stock Award or Performance Award that is intended to be a Section 162(m) Award, the performance criteria upon which the grant, payment or vesting may be based shall be limited to one or more of the following performance measures, which may be applied with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary or any business unit: (i) total stockholder return; (ii) stock price increase; (iii) return on equity; (iv) return on capital; (v) return on investment; (vi) earnings per share, diluted or basic; (vii) EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes); (viii) EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization); (ix) cash flow (including operating cash flow, free cash

flow, discounted cash flow, and cash flow in excess of costs of capital); (x) net or gross revenue; (xi) operating expenses; (xii) gross or operating margin; (xiii) execution of a corporate collaboration agreement relating to a product candidate of the Company; (xiv) acceptance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or a comparable foreign regulatory authority of a final New Drug Application, a Biologic License Application or similar document; (xv) approval for marketing of a product candidate of the Company by the FDA or a comparable foreign regulatory authority; (xvi) obtaining a specified level of financing for the Company, as determined by the Committee, including through government grants (or similar awards) and the issuance of securities; and (xvii) commencement of a particular stage of clinical trials for a product candidate of the Company. The foregoing performance criteria shall have any reasonable definitions that the Committee may specify, which may include or exclude any items specified by the Committee, including but not limited to any or all of the following items: discontinued operations, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items, effects of accounting changes, effects of currency or interest rate fluctuations, effects of financing activities (e.g., effect on earnings per share of issuing convertible debt securities), changes in tax rates, expenses for restructuring or productivity initiatives, litigation losses, non-operating items, effects of acquisitions or divestitures and changes of law or regulation affecting the Company’s business. The foregoing performance measures may be determined on an absolute basis or relative to internal goals or relative to levels attained in prior years, or related to other companies or indices, or as ratios expressing relationships between two or more performance measures. In the case of Awards that are not Section 162(m) Awards, the Committee may designate performance criteria from among the foregoing or such other performance criteria as it shall determine in its sole discretion.

Section 12.3     Section 162(m) Requirements.     In the case of a Restricted Stock Award, Stock Unit Award, Stock Award or Performance Award that is intended to be a Section 162(m) Award, the Committee shall make such determinations with respect to an Award as required by section 162(m) of the Code within 90 days after the beginning of the performance period (or such other time period as is required under section 162(m) of the Code). As and to the extent required by section 162(m) of the Code, the terms of an Award that is a Section 162(m) Award must state, in terms of an objective formula or standard, the method of computing the amount of compensation payable under the Award, and must preclude discretion to increase the amount of compensation payable under the terms of the Award (but may allow the Committee discretion to decrease the amount of compensation payable).

13. Change in Control

Section 13.1     Effect of Change in Control.     The Committee may, at the time of the grant of an Award and as set forth in an Award Agreement, provide for the effect of a “Change in Control” on an Award. Such provisions may include any one or more of the following: (i) the acceleration or extension of time periods for purposes of exercising, vesting in, or realizing gain from any Award, (ii) the elimination or modification of performance or other conditions related to the payment or other rights under an Award, (iii) provision for the cash settlement of an Award for an equivalent cash value, as determined by the Committee, or (iv) such other modification or adjustment to an Award as the Committee deems appropriate to maintain and protect the rights and interests of Participants upon or following a Change in Control.

Section 13.2     Definition of Change in Control.     For purposes of the Plan, unless otherwise defined in an Award Agreement, a “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred upon:

  (i)
a change in the composition of the Board such that during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 13.2) whose election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the members thereof;
     
  (ii)
the approval by the stockholders of the Company of a merger, consolidation, reorganization or similar corporate transaction, whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation in such transaction, in which outstanding shares of Common Stock are converted into (A) shares of stock of another company, other than a conversion into shares of voting common stock of the successor corporation (or a holding

company thereof) representing more than 50% of the voting power of all capital stock thereof outstanding immediately after the merger or consolidation, or (B) other securities (of either the Company or another company) or cash or other property;
     
  (iii)
any “Person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), except that such term shall not include (A) the Company, (B) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company, (C) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, who is or becomes the “Beneficial Owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities Beneficially Owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company) representing 30% or more of the voting power of all capital stock thereof outstanding, excluding any Person who is an officer or director of the Company or who becomes such a Beneficial Owner in connection with a transaction described in clause (ii) of this Section 13.2; or
     
  (iv)
the approval by the stockholders of the Company of (A) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (B) a complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

14. General Provisions

Section 14.1     Award Agreement.     To the extent deemed necessary by the Committee, an Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement in a written or electronic form approved by the Committee setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock or units subject to the Award, the exercise price, base price, or purchase price of the Award, the time or times at which an Award will become vested, exercisable or payable and the term of the Award. The Award Agreement may also set forth the effect on an Award of termination of Service under certain circumstances. The Award Agreement shall be subject to and incorporate, by reference or otherwise, all of the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan, and may also set forth other terms and conditions applicable to the Award as determined by the Committee consistent with the limitations of the Plan. Award Agreements evidencing Incentive Stock Options shall contain such terms and conditions as may be necessary to meet the applicable provisions of section 422 of the Code. The grant of an Award under the Plan shall not confer any rights upon the Participant holding such Award other than such terms, and subject to such conditions, as are specified in the Plan as being applicable to such type of Award (or to all Awards) or as are expressly set forth in the Award Agreement. The Committee need not require the execution of an Award Agreement by a Participant, in which case, acceptance of the Award by the Participant shall constitute agreement by the Participant to the terms, conditions, restrictions and limitations set forth in the Plan and the Award Agreement as well as the administrative guidelines of the Company in effect from time to time.

Section 14.2     Forfeiture Events/Representations.     The Committee may specify in an Award Agreement at the time of the Award that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, in addition to any otherwise applicable vesting or performance conditions of an Award. Such events shall include, but shall not be limited to, termination of Service for cause, violation of material Company policies, breach of noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant, or other conduct by the Participant that is detrimental to the business or reputation of the Company. The Committee may also specify in an Award Agreement that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be conditioned upon the Participant making a representation regarding compliance with noncompetition, confidentiality or other restrictive covenants that may apply to the Participant and providing that the Participant’s rights, payments and benefits with respect to an Award shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment on account of a breach of such representation.

Section 14.3     No Assignment or Transfer; Beneficiaries.     Except as provided in Section 6.6 hereof, Awards under the Plan shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall not be subject in any manner to assignment, alienation, pledge, encumbrance or charge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may provide in an Award Agreement that the Participant shall have the right to designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries who shall be entitled to any rights,

A-11

payments or other benefits specified under an Award following the Participant’s death. During the lifetime of a Participant, an Award shall be exercised only by such Participant or such Participant’s guardian or legal representative. In the event of a Participant’s death, an Award may, to the extent permitted by the Award Agreement, be exercised by the Participant’s beneficiary as designated by the Participant in the manner prescribed by the Committee or, in the absence of an authorized beneficiary designation, by the legatee of such Award under the Participant’s will or by the Participant’s estate in accordance with the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution, in each case in the same manner and to the same extent that such Award was exercisable by the Participant on the date of the Participant’s death.

Section 14.4     Deferrals of Payment.     The Committee may in its discretion permit a Participant to defer the receipt of payment of cash or delivery of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be due to the Participant by virtue of the exercise of a right or the satisfaction of vesting or other conditions with respect to an Award. If any such deferral is to be permitted by the Committee, the Committee shall establish the rules and procedures relating to such deferral in a manner intended to comply with the requirements of section 409A of the Code, including, without limitation, the period of time in advance of payment when an election to defer may be made, the time period of the deferral and the events that would result in payment of the deferred amount, the interest or other earnings attributable to the deferral and the method of funding, if any, attributable to the deferred amount.

Section 14.5     Rights as Stockholder.     A Participant shall have no rights as a holder of shares of Common Stock with respect to any unissued securities covered by an Award until the date the Participant becomes the holder of record of such securities. Except as provided in Section 4.2 hereof, no adjustment or other provision shall be made for dividends or other stockholder rights, except to the extent that the Award Agreement provides for dividend payments or dividend equivalent rights.

Section 14.6     Employment or Service.     Nothing in the Plan, in the grant of any Award or in any Award Agreement shall confer upon any Eligible Person or Participant any right to continue in the Service of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment or other service relationship of an Eligible Person or Participant for any reason at any time.

Section 14.7     Securities Laws.     No shares of Common Stock will be issued or transferred pursuant to an Award unless and until all then applicable requirements imposed by Federal and state securities and other laws, rules and regulations and by any regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, and by any exchanges upon which the shares of Common Stock may be listed, have been fully met. As a condition precedent to the issuance of shares pursuant to the grant or exercise of an Award, the Company may require the Participant to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements. The Committee may impose such conditions on any shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, under the requirements of any exchange upon which such shares of the same class are then listed, and under any blue sky or other securities laws applicable to such shares. The Committee may also require the Participant to represent and warrant at the time of issuance or transfer that the shares of Common Stock are being acquired only for investment purposes and without any current intention to sell or distribute such shares.

Section 14.8     Tax Withholding.     The Participant shall be responsible for payment of any taxes or similar charges required by law to be withheld from an Award or an amount paid in satisfaction of an Award, which shall be paid by the Participant on or prior to the payment or other event that results in taxable income in respect of an Award. The Award Agreement may specify the manner in which the withholding obligation shall be satisfied with respect to the particular type of Award.

Section 14.9     Unfunded Plan.     The adoption of the Plan and any reservation of shares of Common Stock or cash amounts by the Company to discharge its obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a trust or other funded arrangement. Except upon the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to an Award, any rights of a Participant under the Plan shall be those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company, and neither a Participant nor the Participant’s permitted transferees or estate shall have any other interest in any assets of the Company by virtue of the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to implement or set aside funds in a grantor trust, subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors or otherwise, to discharge its obligations under the Plan.

 

A-12


Back to Contents

Section 14.10     Other Compensation and Benefit Plans.     The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other stock incentive or other compensation plans in effect for the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall the Plan preclude the Company from establishing any other forms of stock incentive or other compensation or benefit program for employees of the Company or any Subsidiary. The amount of any compensation deemed to be received by a Participant pursuant to an Award shall not constitute includable compensation for purposes of determining the amount of benefits to which a Participant is entitled under any other compensation or benefit plan or program of the Company or any Subsidiary, including, without limitation, under any bonus, pension, profit-sharing, life insurance, salary continuation or severance benefits plan, except to the extent specifically provided by the terms of any such plan.

Section 14.11     Plan Binding on Transferees.     The Plan shall be binding upon the Company, its transferees and assigns, and the Participant, the Participant’s executor, administrator and permitted transferees and beneficiaries.

Section 14.12     Severability.     If any provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable by any court of law in any jurisdiction, the remaining provisions hereof and thereof shall be severable and enforceable in accordance with their terms, and all provisions shall remain enforceable in any other jurisdiction.

Section 14.13     Foreign Jurisdictions.     The Committee may adopt, amend and terminate such arrangements and grant such Awards, not inconsistent with the intent of the Plan, as it may deem necessary or desirable to comply with any tax, securities, regulatory or other laws of other jurisdictions with respect to Awards that may be subject to such laws. The terms and conditions of such Awards may vary from the terms and conditions that would otherwise be required by the Plan solely to the extent the Committee deems necessary for such purpose. Moreover, the Board may approve such supplements to or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of the Plan, not inconsistent with the intent of the Plan, as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes, without thereby affecting the terms of the Plan as in effect for any other purpose.

Section 14.14     Substitute Awards in Corporate Transactions.     Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Committee to grant Awards under the Plan in connection with the acquisition, whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or other corporate transaction, of the business or assets of any corporation or other entity. Without limiting the foregoing, the Committee may grant Awards under the Plan to an employee or director of another corporation who becomes an Eligible Person by reason of any such corporate transaction in substitution for awards previously granted by such corporation or entity to such person. The terms and conditions of the substitute Awards may vary from the terms and conditions that would otherwise be required by the Plan solely to the extent the Committee deems necessary for such purpose.

Section 14.15     Governing Law.     The Plan and all rights hereunder shall be subject to and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the principles of conflicts of laws, and to applicable Federal securities laws.

15. Effective Date, Amendment and Termination

Section 15.1     Effective Date.     The Plan shall become effective following its adoption by the Board and its approval by the Company’s stockholders on the date of the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The term of the Plan shall be ten (10) years from the date of such adoption by the Board, subject to Section 15.3 hereof.

Section 15.2     Amendment.     The Board may at any time and from time to time and in any respect, amend or modify the Plan. The Board may seek the approval of any amendment or modification by the Company’s stockholders to the extent it deems necessary or advisable in its discretion for purposes of compliance with section 162(m) or section 422 of the Code, the listing requirements of the NASDAQ or other exchange or securities market or for any other purpose. No amendment or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect any Award theretofore granted without the consent of the Participant or the permitted transferee of the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Board may amend the Plan and any outstanding Award Agreement solely to comply with any new regulations or other guidance from the Internal Revenue Service under section 409A of the Code without the consent of the Participant or the permitted transferee of the Award.

Section 15.3     Termination.     The Plan shall terminate on April 4, 2015, which is the date immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the date of the Plan’s adoption by the Board. The Board may, in its discretion and at any earlier date, terminate the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no termination of the Plan shall adversely affect any Award theretofore granted without the consent of the Participant or the permitted transferee of the Award.
