The purpose of the Plan is to encourage and enable the employees, directors, consultants and other key persons of V*I Chip Corporation (the " Company" ) and its Affiliates upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the Company largely depends for the successful conduct of its business to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. It is anticipated that providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company' s welfare will assure a closer identification of their interests with those of the Company, thereby stimulating their efforts on the Company' s behalf and strengthening their desire to remain with the Company.

" Affiliate" means (1) a corporation which, for purposes of Section 424 of the Code, is a parent or subsidiary of the Company, direct or indirect or (2) a foreign partnership, corporation, firm, joint venture, limited liability company or other entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, is controlled by the Company or its parent, where the term " controlled by" means the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity, whether through ownership of voting interests or voting securities, as the case may be, by contract or otherwise. " Award" or " Awards," except where referring to a particular category of grant under the Plan, shall include Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Unrestricted Stock Awards, or any combination of the foregoing.

" Exchange Act" means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. " Fair Market Value" of the Stock on any given date means the fair market value of the Stock determined in good faith by the Administrator; provided , however , that if the Stock trades on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value on any given date is the closing sale price on such date or, if no such closing sale price information is available, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Stock reported on such date. For any date that is not a trading day, the Fair Market Value of the Stock for such date will be determined by using the closing sale price or the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices, as appropriate, for the immediately preceding trading day. The Administrator can substitute a particular time of day or other measure of closing sale price if appropriate because of changes in exchange or market procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the date for which Fair Market Value is determined is the first day when trading prices for the Stock are trading on a national securities exchange, the Fair Market Value shall be the " Price to the Public" (or equivalent) set forth on the cover page for the final prospectus relating to the Company' s Initial Public Offering, if applicable. " Incentive Stock Option" means any Stock Option designated and qualified as an " incentive stock option" as defined in Section 422 of the Code.

The Administrator shall have the power and authority to grant Awards consistent with the terms of the Plan, including the power and authority: (i) to select the individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be granted; (ii) to determine the time or times of grant, and the extent, if any, of Incentive Stock Options, Non-Qualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock Awards, Unrestricted Stock Awards or any combination of the foregoing, granted to any one or more participants; (iii) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by any Award; (iv) to determine and modify from time to time the terms and conditions, including restrictions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award, which terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and participants, and to approve the form of written instruments evidencing the Awards; (v) to accelerate at any time the exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any Award; (vi) to impose any limitations on Awards granted under the Plan, including limitations on transfers, repurchase provisions and the like and to exercise repurchase rights or obligations; (vii) subject to the provisions of Section 5(a)(ii), to extend at any time the period in which Stock Options may be exercised; (viii) to determine at any time whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances distribution or the receipt of Stock and other amounts payable with respect to an Award shall be deferred either automatically or at the election of the grantee and whether and to what extent the Company shall pay or credit amounts constituting interest (at rates determined by the Administrator) or dividends or deemed dividends on such deferrals; and (ix) at any time to adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it shall deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award (including related written instruments); to make all determinations it deems advisable for the administration of the Plan; to decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Initial Public Offering, no Award shall be granted under the Plan unless the recipient of such Award has executed and delivered a Stock Restriction Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or such other form as the Administrator may determine from time to time. All decisions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan participants. (c) Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards. The Administrator, in its discretion, may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company all or part of the Administrator' s authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards at Fair Market Value to individuals who are not subject to the reporting and other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or " covered employees" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, and in the event of such delegation, such Chief Executive Officer shall be deemed a one-person Committee of the Board. Any such delegation by the Administrator shall include a limitation as to the amount of Awards that may be granted during the period of the delegation and shall contain guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price of any Option, the conversion ratio or price of other Awards and the vesting criteria. The Administrator may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Administrator' s delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the Plan. (d) Indemnification. Neither the Board nor the Administrator, nor any member of either or any delegate thereof, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Board and the Committee (and any delegate thereof) shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage, judgment, settlement or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under any directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time.

Subject to such overall limitation, shares of Stock may be issued up to such maximum number pursuant to any type or types of Award; provided , however , that from and after the date on which the Company becomes subject to the deduction limit imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code, Stock Options with respect to no more than 4,000,000 shares of Stock may be granted to any one individual participant during any one calendar year period. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company and held in its treasury. (b) Changes in Stock .
