(As amended through June 17, 2010)
MICROVISION, INC.
2006 INCENTIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED
- DEFINED TERMS
Exhibit A, which is incorporated by reference, defines the terms used in
the Plan and sets forth certain operational rules related to those terms.
- EFFECTIVE DATE
This Microvision, Inc. 2006 Incentive Plan, as amended, amends, restates
and renames the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan. The Plan was originally
adopted by the Board on July 10, 1996 and approved by the stockholders of the
Company on August 9, 1996. This amendment and restatement of the Plan, shall
become effective if, and at such time as, the stockholders of the Company have
approved this amendment and restatement.
- PURPOSE
The purpose of the Microvision, Inc. 2006 Incentive Plan, as amended, is
to provide means by which the Company may attract, reward and retain the
services or advice of current or future employees, officers, consultants or
independent contractors of, and other advisors to, the Company and to provide
added incentives to them by encouraging stock ownership in the Company.
- ADMINISTRATION
The Administrator has discretionary authority, subject only to the
express provisions of the Plan, to interpret the Plan; determine eligibility for
and grant Awards; determine, modify or waive the terms and conditions of any
Award; prescribe forms, rules and procedures; and otherwise do all things
necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan. In the case of any Award
intended to be eligible for the performance-based compensation exception under
Section 162(m), the Administrator will exercise its discretion consistent with
qualifying the Award for that exception. Determinations of the Administrator
made under the Plan will be conclusive and will bind all parties.
- LIMITS ON AWARDS UNDER THE PLAN
- Number of Shares
. A maximum of 16,400,000 shares of Stock may be
delivered in satisfaction of Awards under the Plan. The number of shares of
Stock delivered in satisfaction of Awards shall, for purposes of the preceding
sentence, be determined net of shares of Stock withheld by the Company in
payment of the exercise price of the Award or in satisfaction of tax withholding
requirements with respect to the Award. The limit set forth in this Section 5(a)
shall be construed to comply with Section 422 of the Code and regulations
thereunder. To the extent consistent with the requirements of Section 422 of the
Code and regulations thereunder, and with other applicable legal requirements
(including applicable stock exchange requirements), Stock issued under awards of
an acquired company that are converted, replaced, or adjusted in connection with
the acquisition shall not reduce the number of shares available for Awards under
the Plan.
- Type of Shares
. Stock delivered by the Company under the
Plan may be authorized but unissued Stock or previously issued Stock acquired by
the Company. No fractional shares of Stock will be delivered under the
Plan.
- Section 162(m) Limits
. The maximum number of shares of Stock
for which Stock Options may be granted to any person in any calendar year and
the maximum number of shares of Stock subject to SARs granted to any person in
any calendar year will each be 2,000,000. The maximum number of shares subject
to other Awards granted to any person in any calendar year will be 2,000,000
shares. The maximum amount payable to any person in any year under Cash Awards
will be $3,000,000. The foregoing provisions will be construed in a manner
consistent with Section 162(m).
ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
The Administrator may grant Awards to any current or future Employee,
officer, director, consultant or independent contractor of, or other advisor to,
the Company or its subsidiaries. Eligibility for ISOs is limited to employees of
the Company or of a "parent corporation" or "subsidiary corporation" of the
Company as those terms are defined in Section 424 of the Code.
RULES APPLICABLE TO AWARDS
- All Awards
- Award Provisions
. The Administrator will determine the terms of all
Awards, subject to the limitations provided herein. By accepting any Award
granted hereunder, the Participant agrees to the terms of the Award and the
Plan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, awards of an
acquired company that are converted, replaced or adjusted in connection with the
acquisition may contain terms and conditions that are inconsistent with the
terms and conditions specified herein, as determined by the Administrator.
Term of Plan. No Awards may be made after September 21, 2016,
but previously granted Awards may continue beyond that date in accordance with
their terms.
Transferability. Neither ISOs nor, except as the Administrator
otherwise expressly provides, other Awards may be transferred other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution, and during a Participant's lifetime
ISOs (and, except as the Administrator otherwise expressly provides, other non-
transferable Awards requiring exercise) may be exercised only by the
Participant.
Vesting, Etc. The Administrator may determine the time or
times at which an Award will vest or become exercisable and the terms on which
an Award requiring exercise will remain exercisable. Without limiting the
foregoing, the Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting or
exercisability of an Award, regardless of any adverse or potentially adverse tax
consequences resulting from such acceleration. Unless the Administrator
expressly provides otherwise, however, the following rules will apply:
immediately upon the cessation of the Participant's Employment, each Award
requiring exercise that is then held by the Participant or by the Participant's
permitted transferees, if any, will cease to be exercisable and will terminate,
and all other Awards that are then held by the Participant or by the
Participant's permitted transferees, if any, to the extent not already vested
will be forfeited, except that:
- subject to (B) and (C) below, all Stock Options and SARs held by the
Participant or the Participant's permitted transferees, if any, immediately
prior to the cessation of the Participant's Employment, to the extent then
exercisable, will remain exercisable for the lesser of (i) a period of three
months or (ii) the period ending on the latest date on which such Stock Option
or SAR could have been exercised without regard to this Section 7(a)(4), and
will thereupon terminate;
- all Stock Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant's
permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the Participant's death or
Disability, to the extent then exercisable, will remain exercisable for the
lesser of (i) the one year period ending with the first anniversary of the
Participant's death or Disability or (ii) the period ending on the latest date
on which such Stock Option or SAR could have been exercised without regard to
this Section 7(a)(4), and will thereupon terminate; and
- all Stock Options and SARs held by a Participant or the Participant's
permitted transferees, if any, immediately prior to the cessation of the
Participant's Employment will immediately terminate upon such cessation if the
Administrator in its sole discretion determines that such cessation of
Employment has resulted for reasons which cast such discredit on the Participant
as to justify immediate termination of the Award.
Taxes. The Administrator will make such provision for the
withholding of taxes as it deems necessary. The Administrator may, but need not,
hold back shares of Stock from an Award or permit a Participant to tender
previously owned shares of Stock in satisfaction of tax withholding requirements
(but not in excess of the minimum withholding required by law).
Dividend Equivalents, Etc. The Administrator may provide for
the payment of amounts in lieu of cash dividends or other cash distributions
with respect to Stock subject to an Award. Any entitlement to dividend
equivalents or similar entitlements shall be established and administered
consistent either with exemption from, or compliance with, the requirements of
Section 409A to the extent applicable.
Foreign Qualified Grants. Awards under this Plan may be
granted to officers and Employees of the Company and other persons described in
Section 6 who reside in foreign jurisdictions as the Administrator may determine
from time to time. The Administrator may adopt supplements to the Plan as needed
to comply with the applicable laws of such foreign jurisdictions and to give
Participants favorable treatment under such laws; provided,
however that no award shall be granted under any such supplement on terms
more beneficial to such Participants than those permitted by this Plan.
Corporate Mergers, Acquisitions, Etc. The Administrator may
grant Awards under this Plan having terms, conditions and provisions that vary
from those specified in this Plan provided that such Awards are granted in
substitution for, or in connection with the assumption of, existing Awards
granted or issued by another corporation and assumed or otherwise agreed to be
provided for by the Company pursuant to or by reason of a transaction involving
a corporate merger, consolidation, acquisition of property or stock,
reorganization or liquidation to which the Company is a party.
Rights Limited. Nothing in the Plan will be construed as
giving any person the right to continued employment or service with the Company
or its Affiliates, or any rights as a stockholder except as to shares of Stock
actually issued under the Plan. The loss of existing or potential profit in
Awards will not constitute an element of damages in the event of termination of
Employment for any reason, even if the termination is in violation of an
obligation of the Company or Affiliate to the Participant.
Section 162(m). This Section 7(a)(10) applies to any
Performance Award intended to qualify as performance-based for the purposes of
Section 162(m) other than a Stock Option or SAR. In the case of any Performance
Award to which this Section 7(a)(10) applies, the Plan and such Award will be
construed to the maximum extent permitted by law in a manner consistent with
qualifying the Award for such exception. With respect to such Performance
Awards, the Administrator will preestablish, in writing, one or more specific
Performance Criteria no later than 90 days after the commencement of the period
of service to which the performance relates (or at such earlier time as is
required to qualify the Award as performance-based under Section 162(m)). Prior
to grant, vesting or payment of the Performance Award, as the case may be, the
Administrator will certify whether the applicable Performance Criteria have been
attained and such determination will be final and conclusive. No Performance
Award to which this Section 7(a)(10) applies may be granted after the first
meeting of the stockholders of the Company held in 2011 until the listed
performance measures set forth in the definition of "Performance Criteria" (as
originally approved or as subsequently amended) have been resubmitted to and
reapproved by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, unless such grant is made contingent
upon such approval.
Awards Requiring Exercise
- Time And Manner Of Exercise
. Unless the Administrator expressly
provides otherwise, an Award requiring exercise by the holder will not be
deemed to have been exercised until the Administrator receives a notice of
exercise (in form acceptable to the Administrator) signed by the appropriate
person and accompanied by any payment required under the Award. If the Award is
exercised by any person other than the Participant, the Administrator may
require satisfactory evidence that the person exercising the Award has the right
to do so. Awards may be exercised in whole or in part.
Exercise Price. The exercise price (or the base value from
which appreciation is to be measured) of each Award requiring exercise shall be
100% (in the case of an ISO granted to a ten-percent shareholder within the
meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, 110%) of the fair market value of the
Stock subject to the Award, determined as of the date of grant, or such higher
amount as the Administrator may determine in connection with the grant. Fair
market value shall be determined by the Administrator consistent with the
requirements of Section 422 and Section 409A. Without the affirmative vote of
holders of a majority of the shares of Stock cast in person or by proxy at
a meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which a quorum representing
a majority of all outstanding shares of Stock is present or represented by
proxy, the Committee shall not approve a program providing for either (a) the
cancellation of outstanding Awards requiring exercise and the grant in
substitution therefor of new Awards having a lower exercise price that has the
effect of a repricing or (b) the amendment of such Awards to reduce the exercise
price thereof. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to apply to:
(i) "issuing or assuming a stock option in a transaction to which section 424(a)
applies," within the meaning of Section 424 of the Code or (ii) the substitution
or assumption of an Award by reason of or pursuant to a corporate transaction,
to the extent such substitution or assumption would not be treated as a grant of
a new stock right or a change in the form of payment for purposes of Section
409A of the Code within the meaning of Prop. Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-
1(b)(5)(iii)(D)(3), Notice 2005-1, A-4(d) and any subsequent Section 409A
guidance.
Payment Of Exercise Price. Where the exercise of an Award is
to be accompanied by payment, the Administrator may determine the required or
permitted forms of payment, subject to the following: all payments will be by
cash or check acceptable to the Administrator, or, if so permitted by the
Administrator and if legally permissible, (i) through the delivery of shares of
Stock that have been outstanding for at least six months (unless the
Administrator approves a shorter period) and that have a fair market value equal
to the exercise price, (ii) by delivery to the Company of a promissory note of
the person exercising the Award, payable on such terms as are specified by the
Administrator, (iii) through a broker-assisted exercise program acceptable to
the Administrator, (iv) by other means acceptable to the Administrator, or (v)
by any combination of the foregoing permissible forms of payment. The delivery
of shares in payment of the exercise price under clause (a)(i) above may be
accomplished either by actual delivery or by constructive delivery through
attestation of ownership, subject to such rules as the Administrator may
prescribe.
409A Exemption. Except as the Administrator otherwise
determines, no Award requiring exercise shall have deferral features, or shall
be administered in a manner, that would cause such Award to fail to qualify for
exemption from Section 409A.
Awards Not Requiring Exercise
Restricted Stock and Unrestricted Stock, whether delivered outright
or under Awards of Stock Units or other Awards that do not require exercise, may
be made in exchange for such lawful consideration, including services, as the
Administrator determines. Any Award resulting in a deferral of compensation
subject to Section 409A shall be construed to the maximum extent possible, as
determined by the Administrator, consistent with the requirements of Section
409A.
EFFECT OF CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
- Mergers, etc.
Except as otherwise provided in an Award,
the following provisions shall apply in the event of a Covered Transaction:
- Assumption or Substitution
. If the Covered Transaction is one
in which there is an acquiring or surviving entity, the Administrator may
provide for the assumption of some or all outstanding Awards or for the grant of
new awards in substitution therefor by the acquiror or survivor or an affiliate
of the acquiror or survivor.
- Cash-Out of Awards
. If the Covered Transaction is one in which
holders of Stock will receive upon consummation a payment (whether cash, non-
cash or a combination of the foregoing), the Administrator may provide for
payment (a "cash-out"), with respect to some or all Awards, equal in the case of
each affected Award to the excess, if any, of (A) the fair market value of one
share of Stock (as determined by the Administrator in its reasonable discretion)
times the number of shares of Stock subject to the Award, over (B) the aggregate
exercise or purchase price, if any, under the Award (in the case of an SAR, the
aggregate base price above which appreciation is measured), in each case on such
payment terms (which need not be the same as the terms of payment to holders of
Stock) and other terms, and subject to such conditions, as the Administrator
determines.
- Acceleration of Certain Awards
. If the Covered
Transaction (whether or not there is an acquiring or surviving entity) is one in
which there is no assumption, substitution or cash-out, each Award requiring
exercise will become fully exercisable, and the delivery of shares of Stock
deliverable under each outstanding Award of Stock Units (including Restricted
Stock Units and Performance Awards to the extent consisting of Stock Units) will
be accelerated and such shares will be delivered, prior to the Covered
Transaction, in each case on a basis that gives the holder of the Award a
reasonable opportunity, as determined by the Administrator, following exercise
of the Award or the delivery of the shares, as the case may be, to participate
as a stockholder in the Covered Transaction.
- Termination of Awards Upon Consummation of Covered
Transaction
. Each Award (unless assumed pursuant to Section 8(a)(1)
above), other than outstanding shares of Restricted Stock (which shall be
treated in the same manner as other shares of Stock, subject to Section 8(a)(5)
below), will terminate upon consummation of the Covered Transaction.
- Additional Limitations
. Any share of Stock delivered pursuant
to Section 8(a)(2) or Section 8(a)(3) above with respect to an Award may,
in the discretion of the Administrator, contain such restrictions, if any, as
the Administrator deems appropriate to reflect any performance or other vesting
conditions to which the Award was subject. In the case of Restricted Stock, the
Administrator may require that any amounts delivered, exchanged or otherwise
paid in respect of such Stock in connection with the Covered Transaction be
placed in escrow or otherwise made subject to such restrictions as the
Administrator deems appropriate to carry out the intent of the Plan.
Change in and Distributions With Respect to Stock
- Basic Adjustment Provisions
. In the event of a stock dividend, stock
split or combination of shares (including a reverse stock split),
recapitalization or other change in the Company's capital structure, the
Administrator will make appropriate adjustments to the maximum number of shares
specified in Section 5(a) that may be delivered under the Plan and to the
maximum share limits described in Section 5(c), and will also make appropriate
adjustments to the number and kind of shares of stock or securities subject to
Awards then outstanding or subsequently granted, any exercise prices relating to
Awards and any other provision of Awards affected by such change.
Certain Other Adjustments. The Administrator may also make
adjustments of the type described in Section 8(b)(1) above to take into account
distributions to stockholders other than those provided for in Section 8(a) and
8(b)(1), or any other event, if the Administrator determines that adjustments
are appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan and to preserve
the value of Awards made hereunder, having due regard for the qualification of
ISOs under Section 422 of the Code, the performance-based compensation rules of
Section 162(m), and the requirements of Section 409A, where applicable.
Continuing Application of Plan Terms. References in the Plan
to shares of Stock will be construed to include any stock or securities
resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 8.
LEGAL CONDITIONS ON DELIVERY OF STOCK
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Stock pursuant
to the Plan or to remove any restriction from shares of Stock previously
delivered under the Plan until: (i) the Company is satisfied that all legal
matters in connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been
addressed and resolved; (ii) if the outstanding Stock is at the time of delivery
listed on any stock exchange or national market system, the shares to be
delivered have been listed or authorized to be listed on such exchange or system
upon official notice of issuance; and (iii) all conditions of the Award have
been satisfied or waived. If the sale of Stock has not been registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Company may require, as a condition to
exercise of the Award, such representations or agreements as counsel for the
Company may consider appropriate to avoid violation of such Act. The Company may
require that certificates evidencing Stock issued under the Plan bear an
appropriate legend reflecting any restriction on transfer applicable to such
Stock, and the Company may hold the certificates pending lapse of the applicable
restrictions.
AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION
The Administrator may at any time or times amend the Plan or any
outstanding Award for any purpose which may at the time be permitted by law, and
may at any time terminate the Plan as to any future grants of Awards;
provided, that except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan the
Administrator may not, without the Participant's consent, alter the terms of an
Award so as to affect adversely the Participant's rights under the Award, unless
the Administrator expressly reserved the right to do so at the time of the
Award. Any amendments to the Plan shall be conditioned upon stockholder approval
only to the extent, if any, such approval is required by law (including the Code
and applicable stock exchange requirements), as determined by the
Administrator.
OTHER COMPENSATION ARRANGEMENTS
The existence of the Plan or the grant of any Award will not in any way
affect the Company's right to Award a person bonuses or other compensation in
addition to Awards under the Plan.
MISCELLANEOUS
- Waiver of Jury Trial
. By accepting an Award under the Plan, each
Participant waives any right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim concerning any rights under the Plan and any Award, or under any
amendment, waiver, consent, instrument, document or other agreement delivered or
which in the future may be delivered in connection therewith, and agrees that
any such action, proceedings or counterclaim shall be tried before a court and
not before a jury. By accepting an Award under the Plan, each Participant
certifies that no officer, representative, or attorney of the Company has
represented, expressly or otherwise, that the Company would not, in the event of
any action, proceeding or counterclaim, seek to enforce the foregoing waivers.
Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Plan, neither the Company, any Affiliate, nor the Administrator,
nor any person acting on behalf of the Company, any Affiliate, or the
Administrator, shall be liable to any Participant or to the estate or
beneficiary of any Participant or to any other holder of an Award by reason of
any acceleration of income, or any additional tax, asserted by reason of the
failure of an Award to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 or Section 409A
or by reason of Section 4999 of the Code; provided, that nothing in this Section
12(b) shall limit the ability of the Administrator or the Company to provide by
separate express written agreement with a Participant for a gross-up payment or
other payment in connection with any such tax or additional tax.
EXHIBIT A
Definition of Terms
The following terms, when used in the Plan, will have the meanings
and be subject to the provisions set forth below:
"Administrator": The Board, except that the Board may delegate (i) to
one or more of its members such of its duties, powers and responsibilities as it
may determine; provided, that with respect to any delegation described in
this clause (i) only the Board may amend or terminate the Plan as provided in
Section 10; (ii) to one or more officers of the Company the power to grant
rights or options to the extent permitted by Section 157(c) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law; (iii) to one or more officers of the Company the
authority to allocate other Awards among such persons (other than officers of
the Company) eligible to receive Awards under the Plan as such delegated officer
or officers determine consistent with such delegation; provided, that
with respect to any delegation described in this clause (iii) the Board (or a
properly delegated member or members of the Board) shall have authorized the
issuance of a specified number of shares of Stock under such Awards and shall
have specified the consideration, if any, to be paid therefor; and (iv) to such
Employees or other persons as it determines such ministerial tasks as it deems
appropriate. In the event of any delegation described in the preceding sentence,
the term "Administrator" shall include the person or persons so delegated to the
extent of such delegation.
"Affiliate": Any corporation or other entity owning, directly or
indirectly, 50% or more of the outstanding Stock of the Company, or in which the
Company or any such corporation or other entity owns, directly or indirectly,
50% of the outstanding capital stock (determined by aggregate voting rights) or
other voting interests. However, for purposes of determining eligibility for the
grant of a Stock Option or SAR, the term "Affiliate" shall mean a person
standing in a relationship to the Company such that the Company and such person
are treated as a single employer under Section 414(b) and Section 414(c) of the
Code, in accordance with the definition of "service recipient" under Section
409A of the Code.
"Award": Any or a combination of the following:
(i) Stock Options.
(ii) SARs.
(iii) Restricted Stock.
(iv) Unrestricted Stock.
(v) Stock Units, including Restricted Stock Units.
(vi) Performance Awards.
(vii) Cash Awards.
(viii) Awards (other than Awards described in (i) through (vii) above) that
are convertible into or otherwise based on Stock.
"Board": The Board of Directors of the Company.
"Cash Award": An Award denominated in cash.
"Code": The U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as from time to time
amended and in effect, or any successor statute as from time to time in
effect.
"Company": Microvision, Inc.
"Covered Transaction": Any of (i) a consolidation, merger, or similar
transaction or series of related transactions, including a sale or other
disposition of stock, in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or
which results in the acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company's
then outstanding common stock by a single person or entity or by a group of
persons and/or entities acting in concert, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or
substantially all the Company's assets, or (iii) a dissolution or
liquidation of the Company. Where a Covered Transaction involves a tender
offer that is reasonably expected to be followed by a merger described in clause
(i) (as determined by the Administrator), the Covered Transaction shall be
deemed to have occurred upon consummation of the tender offer.
"Disability": The total and permanent disability of any Participant,
as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Administrator may, but is not required to, rely
on a determination of disability by the Company's long term disability carrier
or the Social Security Administration.
"Employee": Any person who is employed by the Company or an
Affiliate.
"Employment": A Participant's employment or other service relationship
with the Company and its Affiliates. Employment will be deemed to continue,
unless the Administrator expressly provides otherwise, so long as the
Participant is employed by, or otherwise is providing services in a capacity
described in Section 6 to the Company or its Affiliates. If a Participant's
employment or other service relationship is with an Affiliate and that entity
ceases to be an Affiliate, the Participant's Employment will be deemed to have
terminated when the entity ceases to be an Affiliate unless the Participant
transfers Employment to the Company or its remaining Affiliates.
"ISO": A Stock Option intended to be an "incentive stock option"
within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Each option granted pursuant to
the Plan will be treated as providing by its terms that it is to be a non-
incentive stock option unless, as of the date of grant, it is expressly
designated as an ISO.
"Participant": A person who is granted an Award under the Plan.
"Performance Award": An Award subject to Performance Criteria. The
Committee in its discretion may grant Performance Awards that are intended to
qualify for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m)
and Performance Awards that are not intended so to qualify.
"Performance Criteria": Specified criteria, other than the mere
continuation of Employment or the mere passage of time, the satisfaction of
which is a condition for the grant, exercisability, vesting or full enjoyment of
an Award. For purposes of Awards that are intended to qualify for the
performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m), a Performance
Criterion will mean an objectively determinable measure of performance relating
to any or any combination of the following (measured either absolutely or by
reference to an index or indices and determined either on a consolidated basis
or, as the context permits, on a divisional, subsidiary, line of business,
project or geographical basis or in combinations thereof): sales; revenues;
assets; expenses; earnings before or after deduction for all or any portion of
interest, taxes, depreciation, or amortization, whether or not on a continuing
operations or an aggregate or per share basis; return on equity, investment,
capital or assets; one or more operating ratios; borrowing levels, leverage
ratios or credit rating; market share; capital expenditures; cash flow; stock
price; stockholder return; sales of particular products or services; customer

joint ventures and strategic alliances; spin-offs, split-ups and the like;
reorganizations; or recapitalizations, restructurings, financings (issuance of
debt or equity) or refinancings. A Performance Criterion and any targets with
respect thereto determined by the Administrator need not be based upon an
increase, a positive or improved result or avoidance of loss. To the extent
consistent with the requirements for satisfying the performance-based
compensation exception under Section 162(m), the Administrator may provide
in the case of any Award intended to qualify for such exception that one or more
of the Performance Criteria applicable to such Award will be adjusted in an
objectively determinable manner to reflect events (for example, but without
limitation, acquisitions or dispositions) occurring during the performance
period that affect the applicable Performance Criterion or Criteria.
"Plan": The Microvision, Inc. 2006 Incentive Plan, as amended, as from
time to time amended and in effect.
"Restricted Stock": Stock subject to restrictions requiring that it be
redelivered or offered for sale to the Company if specified conditions are not
satisfied.
"Restricted Stock Unit": A Stock Unit that is, or as to which the
delivery of Stock or cash in lieu of Stock is, subject to the satisfaction of
specified performance or other vesting conditions.
"Section 162(m)": Section 162(m) of the Code.
"Section 409A": Section 409A of the Code.
"SAR": A right entitling the holder upon exercise to receive an amount
(payable in shares of Stock of equivalent value) equal to the excess of the fair
market value of the shares of Stock subject to the right over the fair market
value of such shares at the date of grant.
"Stock": Common Stock of the Company, par value $.001 per share.
"Stock Option": An option entitling the holder to acquire shares of
Stock upon payment of the exercise price.
"Stock Unit": An unfunded and unsecured promise, denominated in shares
of Stock, to deliver Stock or cash measured by the value of Stock in the
future.
"Unrestricted Stock": Stock not subject to any restrictions under the
terms of the Award.
