4. Administration of the Plan

a. The Committee. The power and authority to administer the Plan is vested in a committee (the “Committee”) in accordance with this Section 4. The Committee shall be selected by the Board and shall consist of at least three directors, each of whom shall be a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and an “outside director” within the meaning of Section

If the Committee does not exist or the Board, for any reason determined by it, desires to directly administer the Plan, then the Board may take any action under the Plan that would otherwise be the responsibility of the Committee. Once appointed, the Committee shall continue to serve until otherwise directed by the Board. From time to time, the Board may increase the size of the Committee and appoint additional members, remove members (with or without cause), appoint individuals in substitution therefor, and fill vacancies however caused. The Committee shall select one of its members as chairman, and shall hold meetings at such times and places as the chairman or a majority of the Committee may determine.

b. Delegation of Responsibilities. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Committee may delegate all or some of its power and authority to administer the Plan to one or more of its members, or to any other person or persons selected by it. The Committee may revoke such delegation at any time.

c. Reports. At least annually, the Committee shall present a written report to the Board setting forth the following information relating to Awards granted since the date of the last such report: the date or dates of each Award; the type of each Award; the number of shares subject to each Award; and the exercise price for, and Fair Market Value on the date of grant of, shares of Common Stock subject to Awards.

d. Powers of the Committee. Subject to the terms and conditions explicitly set forth in the Plan, the Committee shall have the authority and discretion to do the following:

(1) determine the persons to whom Awards are to be granted, the times of grant, and the number of shares subject to each Award;

(2) determine the exercise price for shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option; the purchase price, if any, of Restricted Stock; and the Fair Market Value of Common Stock used to determine the amount required to be paid under a Restricted Stock Unit or Stock Appreciation Right;

(3) determine all other terms and conditions (which need not be identical between or among Grantees) of each Award;

(4) modify or amend the terms of any Award previously granted, or grant substitute Options, subject to the provisions of Sections 14 and 19;

(5) cancel or suspend Awards, subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 19;

(6) interpret the Plan;

(7) authorize any person or persons to execute and deliver Award Agreements, or to take any other actions deemed by the Committee to be necessary or appropriate, to effectuate the grant of Awards;

(8) waive any conditions to Vesting; and

4

(9) make all other determinations, and take all other actions that the Committee deems necessary or appropriate, to administer the Plan in accordance with its terms and conditions.

All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Committee relating to the Plan and Awards shall be final and binding upon all persons, including all Grantees and any other persons interested in any Awards, unless otherwise expressly determined by a vote of a majority of the entire Board. No member of the Committee or the Board shall be liable to any person for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Awards.

e. Section 16(b) Compliance and Bifurcation of Plan. It is the intention of Company that the Plan comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, and the Plan shall be construed in favor of its so complying. If any Plan provision is determined to not comply with such Rule 16b-3, the provision shall be deemed null and void. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Plan, the Board, in its absolute discretion, may bifurcate the Plan so as to restrict, limit or condition the use of any provision of the Plan with respect to participants who are officers and directors subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, without so restricting, limiting, or conditioning the use of such provision of the Plan with respect to other participants.

5. Eligibility

All Employees and Directors are eligible to be selected to be granted an Award. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Plan, a Director who is not also Employee may not be selected to be granted an Incentive Stock Option.

6. Granting of Awards

a. General. Only Employees and Directors selected by the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall be granted Awards. An Award may consist solely of Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights or any combination of the foregoing. All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

b. Award Agreement. Each Award shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that sets forth the terms and conditions of the Award. A person who is granted an Award shall have no rights under the Award, unless and until such person duly executes and delivers to Company an Award Agreement. An Award shall expire, and the Company shall have no further obligations with respect thereto, if the person does not so execute and deliver an Award Agreement within any period of time prescribed by the Company.

c. Consideration. The Committee shall determine the form and amount, if any, of consideration required to be paid by a Grantee with respect to an Award. Such consideration may take the form of cash, property, shares of Common Stock or services.

d. Arrangements to Cancel Restricted Stock. Company may make such arrangements as it deems necessary or appropriate to hold shares of Restricted Stock in escrow until Grantee satisfies all conditions to Vesting and to automatically cancel such shares if Grantee fails to satisfy such conditions.

7. Vesting of Awards

The Committee may impose any terms and conditions on the Vesting of an Award that it determines to be appropriate, including requiring the Grantee to continue to provide services as an Employee or Director for a specified period of time or to meet performance goals established by the Committee. Such terms and conditions shall be set forth in an Award Agreement.

8. Exercise and Settlement of Awards

a. Options. Grantee shall pay the full exercise price for shares of Common Stock purchased under an Option, at the time the Option is exercised, in cash or other consideration of comparable value deemed acceptable by the Committee (including by tendering, by either actual delivery of shares or by attestation, shares of Common Stock acceptable to the Committee and valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise), or in any combination thereof, as determined by the Committee. The Committee may permit a Grantee to elect to pay the exercise price upon the exercise of an Option by irrevocably authorizing a third party to sell shares of Common Stock (or a portion of the shares of Common Stock sufficient to pay the exercise price) acquired upon exercise of the Option and remit to Company the sale proceeds therefrom sufficient to pay the entire exercise price and any tax withholding resulting from such exercise.

b. Restricted Stock. Company shall take such actions as it determines to be reasonably necessary to release Restricted Stock from forfeiture restrictions as soon as practicable after the Restricted Stock Vests.

c. Other Awards. Company shall settle payment of any amounts due under a Restricted Stock Unit or Stock Appreciation Right upon exercise of such right by the Grantee; provided, however, that notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the Plan, Restricted Stock Units and Stock Appreciation Rights that become Vested shall be settled by payment of amounts owed thereunder on or before the later of (1) the date that is two and one-half (2  ¹⁄₂) months after the end of the Grantee’s first taxable year in which such amounts are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, or (ii) the date that is two and one-half (2  ¹⁄₂) months after the end of the first taxable year of the person for whom the Grantee performed services in which such amounts are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.

9. Terms Applicable to Options

a. Limit on Value of Options Granted. Subject to Section 3.c, any number of Options may be granted from time to time to a person eligible to receive the same hereunder, except that in the case of Incentive Stock Options the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the date each Option is granted) of all shares of Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for the first time by the Grantee in any one calendar year (under all incentive stock option plans of Company and all Subsidiaries taken together) shall not exceed $100,000.

6

b. Exercise Price. The exercise price for shares of Common Stock subject to an Option shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date of grant of the Option; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who immediately before the grant of such Incentive Stock Option is a Shareholder-Employee, the Incentive Stock Option exercise price shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock as of the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option.

c. Term of Option. No Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall in any event be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date such Option is granted; provided, however, that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who immediately before such Incentive Stock Option is granted is a Shareholder-Employee, the term of such Incentive Stock Option shall be for not more than five (5) years from the date such Option is granted. Subject to the foregoing and other applicable provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall determine the term of each Option in its sole discretion.

d. Exercise During Lifetime of Grantee. During the lifetime of a Grantee, only the Grantee may exercise such Option.

10. Termination of Employment.

The Option shall be exercisable at any time prior to such termination by the Grantee’s estate, or by any person or persons who acquire the right to exercise the Option by bequest, inheritance or otherwise by reason of the death of the Grantee;

(ii) If a Grantee ceases to be a Director at any time during the Option period by reason of a Disability and the Grantee has been a Director at all times since the date of grant of the Option, the Option shall terminate, and may no longer be exercised, on the earlier of (1) one year after the date the Grantee ceases to be a Direction, or (ii) the expiration date of the Option provided in his Award Agreement; and

11. Compliance with Applicable Law.

Shares of Common Stock shall not be issued pursuant to the Plan or any Award granted thereunder, unless the issuance and delivery of the shares will not violate, and can otherwise be done in a manner that complies with, the provisions of applicable law (including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act), and the rules regulations of any stock exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed. Issuance of shares of Common Stock is further subject to the approval of counsel for Company with respect to such compliance.

8

12. Tax Compliance.

Company, in its sole discretion, may take any actions that it deems to be necessary or advisable to comply with all tax reporting and withholding requirements applicable under law to Awards, including, but not limited to, withholding or causing to be withheld from any form of compensation or other amount due a Grantee such amount as Company determines is required to be withheld under law.

13. Non-Transferability.

No Award or rights under an Award may be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner, other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution if permitted herein. Restricted Stock, may be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of only after such shares Vest.

14. Merger, Sale of Assets, Etc.

Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event of a merger or other reorganization of Company with and into another corporation following which Company does not survive (other than a reorganization where the ownership of the surviving company is substantially the same as that of Company immediately before the reorganization), or in the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Company, or in the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of Company, then all Awards shall immediately Vest as of the date of the closing of such transaction, unless the Committee elects to Vest the Awards as of an earlier date. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if the surviving, successor or acquiring corporation in the transaction (or its parent) agrees to replace Awards with rights to its shares that confer substantially the same benefits as those represented by the Awards, as determined by the Committee, then the Awards shall not Vest but shall be so replaced. The Committee shall notify each Grantee in writing of any action to Vest or replace Awards hereunder not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expected closing date of the transaction that prompts such action.

In the case of Restricted Stock, the Grantee thereof shall have all the rights of a shareholder (including voting, dividend and liquidation rights) with respect to shares of Restricted Stock that are issued and delivered to the Grantee, until such shares are forfeited or reacquired by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Award.

16. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization

Subject to any required action by the shareholders of Company, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards, the number of shares of Common Stock available for grants under additional Awards, the exercise price for shares of Common Stock specified in each outstanding Option, and the value of Common Stock used to determine amounts required to be paid under Restricted Stock Units and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split or other subdivision or consolidation of shares, the payment of any stock

9

dividend (but only on the Common Stock) or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” The Committee shall make such adjustments and its determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. No Incentive Stock Option shall be adjusted by the Committee pursuant to this Section 16 in a manner that causes the Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Code Section 422. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 16, no Grantee shall have any rights by reason of any stock split or other subdivision or consolidation of shares, any payment of a stock dividend, or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares of Common Stock. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 16, any issuance by Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect the number of shares or price of Common Stock subject to any Award, and no adjustments in Awards shall be made by reason thereof. The grant of an Award shall not affect in any way the right or power of Company to adjust, reclassify, reorganize or change its capital or business structure.

17. Term of the Plan

The Plan shall become effective on the earlier of the date it is (i) adopted by the Board; or (II) approved by the shareholders. Revisions and amendments to the Plan requiring the approval of shareholders of Company, as described in Section 19, shall be effective when approved by the shareholders. Subject to Section 19, the Plan shall be unlimited in duration. In the event the Plan is terminated as provided in Section 19, it shall remain in effect with respect to any Awards granted under it that are outstanding at the time of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 17, to the extent required by the Code, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan on a date that is more than ten (10) years from the date the Plan (or amendment increasing shares available under the Plan) is adopted or, if earlier, the date the Plan (or amendment increasing shares available under the Plan) is approved by shareholders.

18. No Right to Employment.

Neither the adoption of the Plan nor the granting of an Award shall (i) confer upon any person a right to be employed by or to provide services to Company or any Subsidiary, or to continue such employment or service; or (ii) interfere in any way with the right of a person, or the right of Company or a Subsidiary, to terminate such employment relationship or service at any time.

19. Amendment or Early Termination of the Plan

a. Amendment or Early Termination. The Board may terminate the Plan at any time. The Board may amend the Plan from time to time in such respect as the Board deems advisable, except that, without proper approval of the shareholders of Company, no such revision or amendment shall:

(1) increase the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Plan, other than in connection with an adjustment under Section 16; or

10

(2) modify the Plan in a manner that would require shareholder approval under any applicable laws or regulations.

b. Modification and Amendment of Awards. The Board or Committee may modify or amend outstanding Awards granted under the Plan, provided, however that the modification or amendment shall not, without the consent of the Grantee, impair or diminish any of his rights or any of the obligations of Company under such Award. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, no outstanding Award shall be terminated without the consent of the Grantee. Unless the Grantee otherwise agrees, any changes or adjustments made to outstanding Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan shall be prospective only and shall be made in a manner that will not constitute a “modification,” as defined in Code Section 424(h), and will not cause such Incentive Stock Options to fail to qualify as “incentive stock options” under Code Section 422.

c. Re-pricing. The exercise price of outstanding Options may not be changed, except (1 with the approval of shareholders of Company, or (ii) as otherwise required or permitted in the Plan.

20. Nature of Awards

All Awards are unfunded and unsecured obligations of Company. Any bookkeeping entries maintained by Company with respect to Awards are merely for the convenience of Company. Company is not required to segregate any assets that may at any time represent an Award and no Grantee or other person shall have any rights or interests in any particular assets of Company by reason of an Award. A Grantee is a mere general unsecured creditor of Company with respect to an Award.

21. Construction of Certain Terms

The term “Section” or “Sections,” as used herein, shall mean a Section or Sections of this Plan, unless otherwise required by the context. The masculine form of words shall include the feminine, and vice-versa, as required by the context.
