deemed advisable by the Committee.

No Options or shares of Coupon Stock shall be required to be granted or issued under the Program unless legal counsel for the Company shall be satisfied that such issuance or grant will be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and regulations and any other applicable laws or regulations.

GLACIER WATER SERVICES, INC.
1994 NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS STOCK OPTION PLAN

     1. Purpose. The purpose of the Glacier Water Services, Inc. 1994 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the “Non- Employee Plan”) is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by strengthening the Company’s ability to attract and retain the services of experienced and knowledgeable Non-Employee Directors through formula grants and Deferred Elections of non-qualified stock options to acquire the Company’s Common Stock, par value of $.01 per share. In addition, such grants will encourage the closer alignment of the interests of such directors with those of the Company’s stockholders.

     2. Non-Qualified Stock Option Grants.

     (a) Nature of Options. All Options granted under the Non-Employee Plan shall be nonstatutory options and are not intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Code as “incentive stock options.”

     (b) Annual Grant. An annual Option to acquire 1,500 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted pursuant to Article 5 of the General Provisions of the Program) shall be granted (an “Annual Grant”) automatically each year, the first such grant to be made, subject to shareholder approval, on April 12, 1994 and subsequent grants to be made on the first business day of January of each year, to each Eligible Director.

     (c) Exercise Price. The option exercise price per Option Share for an Annual Grant shall be the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the first trading day (that is, a day on which the American Stock Exchange or any other exchange or association on or through which the stock is traded is open for trading and during which at least one share of Common Stock is traded) preceding the Grant Date.

     (d) Notice. Upon becoming exercisable in accordance with Section 3 of the Non-Employee Plan, the exercisable portion of an Option may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time during the Option Period (as defined in Section 2 (f) of the Non-Employee Plan) by giving written notice, signed by the person exercising the Option, to the Secretary of the Company stating the number of shares of Common Stock in respect of which the Option is being exercised, accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate option exercise price for the shares of Common Stock to be acquired. The date both such notice

and payment are received by the office of the Secretary of the Company shall be the date of exercise of the Option as to such number of shares of Common Stock. No Option may be exercised at any time in respect of a fractional share.

     (e) Payment. Payment of the aggregate option exercise price may be made in cash or by certified or cashier’s check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company or, if permitted by the Committee and applicable law, by delivery of, alone or in conjunction with a partial cash or instrument payment (i) shares of Common Stock already owned by the Eligible Director for at least six (6) months and having a fair market value equal to all or a portion of the option exercise price at the time of such exercise, or (ii) some other form of payment acceptable to the Committee. The Committee may also permit Eligible Directors to simultaneously exercise Options and sell the shares of Common Stock thereby acquired, pursuant to a “cashless exercise” arrangement or program, selected by and approved in all respects in advance by the Committee.

Neither the Eligible Director, nor an Eligible Director’s successor or successors in interest, shall have any rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to an Option granted to any such Eligible Director until the date of issuance of a stock certificate in respect of such shares.

          3. Vesting. Subject to Section 2 (f) of the Non-Employee Plan, an Option shall become exercisable in respect of the aggregate number of underlying shares of Common Stock, determined as of the Grant Date, according to the following schedule:

          (b) The Company Not the Surviving Corporation. In the case of a Merger Event in which the Company will not be, or is not, the surviving corporation, and the Company determines not to make the cash or certified cheek payment described in Section 6 (a) of the Non-Employee Plan, the Company shall compel and obligate, as a condition of the consummation of the Merger Event, the surviving or resulting corporation and/or the other party to the Merger Event, as necessary, or any parent, Subsidiary or acquiring corporation thereof, to grant, with respect to both exercisable and non-exercisable Options (but only to the extent not previously exercised), substitute options in respect of the shares of common or other capital stock of such surviving or resulting corporation on such terms and conditions,

as to the number of shares, pricing and otherwise, as shall substantially preserve the value, rights and benefits of any affected Options previously granted hereunder as of the date of the consummation of the Merger Event.

          (c) Termination as a Result of a Change of Control. Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change of Control occurs and if the Eligible Director’s membership on the Board is terminated before such Change of Control and it is reasonably demonstrated by the Eligible Director that such termination (i) was at the request, directly or indirectly, of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect the Change of Control, or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or in anticipation of the Change of Control, then for purposes of this Section 7, the Change of Control shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to such Eligible Director’s removal

At any time, and from time to time, any such designation may be changed or canceled by the Eligible Director without the consent of any such beneficiary. Any such designation, change or cancellation must be on a form provided for that purpose by the Company and shall not be effective until received by the Company. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased Eligible Director, or if the, designated beneficiaries have predeceased the Eligible Director, the beneficiary shall be the Eligible Director’s estate. If the Eligible Director designates more than one beneficiary, any payments under the Non-Employee Plan to such beneficiaries shall be made in equal shares unless the Eligible Director has expressly designated otherwise, in which case the payments shall be made in the shares designated by the Eligible Director.

In addition, no such amendment or revision shall be effective it would disqualify the Program from the exemptions provided by SEC Rule l6b-3.”

     “(g) Rights Upon Termination of Board Membership. In the event that an Eligible Director ceases to be a Director of the Company or its Subsidiaries upon retirement or for any reason other than death, Disability or removal from the Board for Cause, the Eligible Director shall have the right to exercise an Option during its term within a period of ninety days after such termination to the extent that the Option was exercisable at the time such Eligible Director ceased to be a member of the Board. In the event that an Eligible Director ceases to be a Director of the Company or its Subsidiaries due to death or Disability, such Eligible Director’s Options shall immediately and fully vest and the Eligible Director or his or her successor shall have the right to exercise any such Option during its term within a period of one year after such Eligible Director ceased to be a member of the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Committee may, as its discretion based on the specific facts surrounding the departure of an Eligible Director

from the Board, set an alternative vesting and exercise schedule for Options issued to such Eligible Director so long as such Eligible Director’s departure from the Board was for any reason other than for Cause. In the event of an Eligible Director’s removal from the Board for Cause, all unexercised Options shall be forfeited and cancelled.”
