Purpose and Eligibility

The purposes of the plan are primarily:

 

   

to enhance our ability to attract and retain the services of employees and directors, upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the successful conduct and development of our business largely depend, and

 

   

to provide additional incentives to such persons to devote their utmost effort and skill to the advancement and betterment of AMO by providing them an opportunity to participate in the ownership of AMO and thereby have an interest in the success and increased value of AMO that coincides with the financial interests of the AMO’s stockholders.

All of our approximately 4,100 regular employees would be eligible to receive incentive awards under the Amended 2004 Plan. Under the Current 2004 Plan, no individual who was an employee of AMO or one of its other subsidiaries at the time of the acquisition of IntraLase is eligible to receive awards. Other than this change in eligibility for AMO employees, the terms of the Amended 2004 Plan are the same as those of the Current 2004 Plan. Our independent directors and certain consultants are also eligible to receive incentive awards.
