EXHIBIT 10.6

COHESANT INC.

Long Term Incentive Plan

     1. Purpose of the Plan. This Cohesant Inc. Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is intended as an incentive to further the growth and profitability of Cohesant Inc. (the “Company”) and to encourage stock ownership on the part of (a) employees of the Company and its Affiliates, (b) consultants and advisers who provide significant services to the Company and its Affiliates, and (c) directors of the Company who are not employees of the Company. By encouraging such stock ownership, the Company seeks to attract, retain, and motivate Employees, Consultants, and Directors with training, experience, and ability. All management and Employees, Consultants and Directors of the Company are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.

     2. Effective Date. The Plan shall become effective on April 16, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), subject to ratification by an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares which are present, in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the next annual or special meeting of stockholders.

     3. Administration.

          3.01 Administration of the Plan. The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”). If any class of equity securities of the Company is registered under section 12 of the Exchange Act, all members of the Committee will be “non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3(b)(2)(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any successor rule of like tenor and effect) and “outside directors” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

          3.02 Authority of the Committee. It shall be the duty of the Committee to administer the Plan in accordance with the Plan’s provisions. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee is authorized to establish, amend and rescind such rules and regulations as it may deem appropriate for its conduct and for the proper administration of the Plan, to make all determinations under and interpretations of, and to take such actions in connection with, the Plan or the Awards granted thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable, including, but not limited to, the power to (a) determine which Employees and Consultants shall be granted Awards, (b) prescribe the terms and conditions of the Awards (other than the Options and Restricted Stock granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to Section 8), (c) interpret the Plan and the Awards, (d) adopt such procedures and subplans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Employees, Consultants and Directors who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States, (e) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (f) interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may grant, at any time and from time to time as determined by the Committee, Options, SARs, Restricted Stock, or a combination thereof.

          3.03 Non-Employee Directors. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Section 3, the Board shall administer Section 8 of the Plan, and the Committee shall exercise no discretion with respect to Section 8. In the Board’s administration of Section 8 and the Options, Restricted Stock and any Shares granted to Non-Employee Directors, the Board shall have all of the authority and discretion otherwise granted to the Committee with respect to the administration of the Plan.

          3.04 Decisions Binding. All actions, determinations and decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action taken or determination made relating to the Plan, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          3.05 Delegation by the Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or any part of its authority and powers under the Plan to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company; provided, however, that the Committee may not delegate its authority and powers (a) with respect to Section 16 Persons, or (b) in any way which would jeopardize the Plan’s qualification under Section 162(m) of the Code or Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

          3.06 Indemnification. Each member of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company against costs, expenses and liabilities (other than amounts paid in settlements to which the Company does not consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) reasonably incurred by such member in connection with any action taken in relation to the Plan to which he or she may be a party by reason of service as a member of the Committee, except in relation to matters as to which he or she shall be adjudged in such action to be personally guilty of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his or her duties. The foregoing right to indemnification shall be in addition to such other rights as the Committee member may enjoy as a matter of law, by reason of insurance coverage of any kind, or otherwise.

     4. Stock Subject to Plan.

          4.01 Number of Shares. The stock subject to Awards under the Plan shall be shares of the common stock, $.01 par value, of Cohesant , Inc. (the “Shares”). The Shares issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan may be authorized and unissued Shares, Shares purchased on the open market or in a private transaction, or Shares held as treasury stock. The aggregate number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall not exceed 610,000 Shares, subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of Section 4.04 hereof.

          4.02 Lapsed Awards. Any Shares subject to an Award which for any reason expires or is terminated unexercised as to such Shares and any Shares reacquired by the Company pursuant to any forfeiture hereunder may again be the subject of an Award under the Plan.

          4.03 Exercise; Proceeds. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit the exercise or issuance of any Award as to full Shares or fractional Shares. Proceeds from the sale of Shares under Awards shall constitute general funds of the Company.

          4.04 Stock Splits; Mergers; Reorganizations.

                    (a) In the event of a stock split, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares, exchange for other securities, reclassification, reorganization, redesignation or other change in the Company’s capitalization, the aggregate number of Shares for which Awards may be granted under this Plan, the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards and the Exercise Price of the Shares subject to outstanding Options shall be proportionately adjusted or substituted to reflect the same. The Committee shall make such other adjustments to the Awards, the provisions of the Plan and the Awards Agreements, which adjustments may provide for the elimination of fractional Shares.

                    (b) In the event of a change of the Company’s common stock resulting from a merger or similar reorganization as to which the Company is the surviving corporation, the number and kind of Shares which thereafter may be purchased pursuant to an Award under the Plan and the number and kind of Shares then subject to Options granted hereunder and the price per Share thereof shall be appropriately adjusted in such manner as the Committee may deem equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights available or granted hereunder.

     5. Stock Options.

          5.01 Grant of Options. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, Options may be granted to Employees and Consultants at any time and from time to time as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the number of Shares subject to each Option. The Committee may grant Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, or a combination thereof. More than one Option may be granted to an individual under the Plan.

          5.02 Award Agreement.

                    (a) Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Exercise Price, the expiration date of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, any conditions to exercise of the Option, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its discretion, shall determine. The Award Agreement shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option.

                    (b) The Committee may grant Options having terms and provisions which vary from those specified in the Plan if such Options are granted in substitution for, or in connection with the assumption of, existing options granted 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, separation, reorganization or liquidation to which the Company is a party.

          5.03 Exercise Price. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.03, the Exercise Price for each Option granted under the Plan shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

                    5.03.1 Fair Market Value. The Exercise Price of any Option granted under the Plan shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date.

                    5.03.2 Incentive Stock Options. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, no Incentive Stock Option may be granted to an Employee (together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code) who, on the Grant Date, is considered under Section 422(b)(6) of the Code to own stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or of its Parent or any Subsidiary corporation; provided, however, this restriction shall not apply if at the time such Incentive Stock Option is granted the Exercise Price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of such Share.

                    5.03.3 Substitute Options. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5.03.1 and 5.03.2, in the event that the Company or an Affiliate consummates a transaction described in Section 424(a) of the Code (e.g., the acquisition of property or stock from an unrelated corporation), persons who become Employees or Consultants on account of such transaction may be granted Options in substitution for options granted by their former employer. If such substitute Options are granted, the Committee, in its sole discretion and consistent with Section 424(a) of the Code, shall determine the exercise price of such substitute Options.

          5.04 Expiration of Options.

                    5.04.1 Expiration Dates. Each Option shall terminate no later than the first to occur of the following events:

               (a) The date for termination of the Option set forth in the written Award Agreement;

               (b) The expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date (except as provided in Section 5.08.4 regarding Incentive Stock Options);

               (c) Upon Termination of Service For Cause;

               (d) The expiration of ninety (90) days from the date and time of the Participant’s Termination of Service for a reason other than the Participant’s death, Disability, or Termination of Service For Cause;

               (e) The expiration of one (1) year from the date of the Participant’s death or the Participant’s Termination of Service by reason of death or Disability (except as provided in Section 5.08.2 regarding Incentive Stock Options); or

               (f) Upon the Committee’s determination that, after a Participant’s Termination of Service, the Participant engages or engaged in employment or activities contrary, in the sole opinion of the Committee, to the best interests of the Company.

                    5.04.2 Committee Discretion. Subject to the limits of Sections 5.04.1, the Committee, in its sole discretion, (a) shall provide in each Award Agreement when each Option expires and becomes unexercisable, and (b) may, after an Option is granted, extend the maximum term of the Option (subject to Section 5.08.4 regarding Incentive Stock Options).

          5.05 Exercisability of Options. Options granted under the Plan will be exercisable at such times and be subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine in its sole discretion. After an Option is granted, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the exercisability of the Option.

          5.06 Payment. Options shall be exercised by the Participant’s delivery of a written notice of exercise to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer or any other officer of the Company designated by the Committee to accept such notices on its behalf, specifying the number of Shares for which it is exercised.

          On the date of exercise of an Option, the Participant or other person exercising the Option shall make full payment of the Exercise Price (a) in cash; (b) with the consent of the Committee, by tendering previously acquired Shares which have been held by the Participant (valued at their Fair Market Value as of the date of tender); (c) with the consent of the Committee, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, with a full recourse promissory note of the Participant for the portion of the Exercise Price in excess of the par value of Shares subject to the Option, under terms and conditions determined by the Committee and in cash for the par value of the Shares; (d) with the consent of the Committee, any combination of (a), (b), or (c), or (e) with the consent of the Committee, if the Shares subject to the Option have been registered under the Securities Act, and there is a regular public market for the Shares, by delivering to the Company on the date of exercise of the Option written notice of exercise together with:

                    (i) written instructions to forward a copy of such notice of exercise to a broker or dealer as defined in Section 3(a)(4) and 3(a)(5) of the Exchange Act, and designated in such notice (“Broker”), and to deliver to the specified account maintained with the Broker by the person exercising the Option a certificate for the Shares purchased upon the exercise of the Option, and

                    (ii) a copy of irrevocable instructions to the Broker to deliver promptly to the Company a sum equal to the purchase price of the Shares purchased upon exercise of the Option.

          If previously acquired Shares are to be used to pay the Exercise Price of an Incentive Stock Option, the Company prior to such payment must be furnished with evidence satisfactory to it that the acquisition of such Shares and their transfer in payment of the exercise price satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code and other applicable laws.

          As soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment for the Shares purchased, the Company shall deliver to the Participant (or the Participant’s designated broker), Share certificates (which may be in book entry form) representing such Shares.

          5.07 Restrictions on Share Transferability. The Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option as it may deem advisable, including, but not limited to, restrictions related to applicable federal securities laws, the requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market or any national securities exchange or system upon which Shares are then listed or traded, or any blue sky or state securities laws.

          5.08 Certain Additional Provisions for Incentive Stock Options. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5, the following provisions shall apply to any Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan.

                    5.08.1 Exercisability. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined on the Grant Date(s)) of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Employee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000. If an Incentive Stock Option which exceeds the $100,000 limitation of this Section 5.08.1 is granted, the portion of such Option which is exercisable for Shares in excess of the $100,000 limitation shall be treated as a Nonqualified Stock Option pursuant to Section 422(d) of the Code. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, this Section 5.08.1 has no application to Options granted under the Plan as Nonqualified Stock Options.

                    5.08.2 Termination of Service. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised more than three (3) months after the Participant’s Termination of Service for any reason other than Disability or death, unless (a) the Participant dies during such three-month period, or (b) the Award Agreement or the Committee permits later exercise, in which case the Incentive Stock Option shall be deemed a Nonqualified Stock Option.

                    5.08.3 Company and Subsidiaries Only. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to persons who are Employees of the Company or a Subsidiary on the Grant Date.

                    5.08.4 Expiration. No Incentive Stock Option may be exercised after the expiration of ten (10) years from the Grant Date; provided, however, that if the Option is granted to an Employee who, together with persons whose stock ownership is attributed to the Employee pursuant to Section 424(d) of the Code, owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of the stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Option may not be exercised after the expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date.

     6. Stock Appreciation Rights.

          6.01 Grant of SARs; Exercise Price and Other Terms.

                    (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may grant a SAR to Employees and Consultants at any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion. The Committee shall have complete discretion to determine the number of SARs granted to any Participant. SARs must be stand-alone, not affiliated with any Option. SARs may only relate to Shares traded on an established securities market.

                    (b) The Committee, subject to the provisions of the Plan, shall have complete discretion to determine the terms and conditions of SARs granted under the Plan. However, the exercise price of a SAR shall be not less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. In no event shall an SAR granted to a Section 16 Person become exercisable in any period shorter than may be permissible to maintain the Plan’s compliance with Rule 16b-3.

          6.02 Exercise of SARs. SARs shall be exercisable on such terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. However, no SAR granted to a Section 16 Person shall be exercisable until the end of the shortest period as may be permissible to maintain the Plan’s compliance with Rule 16b-3.

          6.03 SAR Agreement. Each SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the exercise price, the term of the SAR, the conditions of exercise, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

          6.04 Expiration of SARs. An SAR granted under the Plan shall expire upon the date determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and set forth in the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rules of Section 5.04 also shall apply to SARs.

          6.05 Payment. Upon exercise of an SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive from the Company the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.

     7. Restricted Stock.

          7.01 Grant of Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Employees and Consultants in such amounts as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine the number of Shares to be granted to each Participant.

          7.02 Restricted Stock Agreement. Each Award of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction, if any, the number of Shares granted, any price to be paid for the Shares, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. Unless the Committee

determines otherwise, Shares of Restricted Stock shall be held by the Company or its designee as escrow agent until the restrictions on such Shares have lapsed.

          7.03 Transferability. Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction. In no event may Restricted Stock granted to a Section 16 Person be transferred prior to six (6) months following the Grant Date.

          7.04 Other Restrictions. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may impose such other restrictions on Shares of Restricted Stock as it may deem advisable or appropriate, in accordance with this Section 7.04. For example, the Committee may set restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance objectives (Company-wide, divisional, or individual), applicable Federal or state securities laws, or any other basis determined by the Committee in its discretion. The Committee, in its discretion, may legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of the restrictions applicable to such Shares.

          7.05 Removal of Restrictions. Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan shall be released from escrow as soon as practicable after the last day of the Period of Restriction. The Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions shall lapse, and remove any restrictions. After the restrictions have lapsed, the Participant shall be entitled to have any legend or legends under Section 7.04 removed from his or her Share certificate, and the Shares shall be freely transferable by the Participant.

          7.06 Voting Rights. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement.

          7.07 Dividends and Other Distributions. During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions, if any, paid with respect to such Shares unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement. If any such dividends or distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which they were paid. With respect to Restricted Stock granted to a Section 16 Person, any dividend or distribution that constitutes a “derivative security” or an “equity security” under Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be subject to a Period of Restriction equal to the longer of: (a) the remaining Period of Restriction on the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect to which the dividend or distribution is paid; or (b) six (6) months.

          7.08 Return of Restricted Stock to Company. On the date set forth in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock for which restrictions have not lapsed shall revert to the Company and again shall become available for grant under the Plan.

     8. Non-Employee Directors.

          8.01 Granting of Options. If any class of equity securities of the Company is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Board, in its sole discretion, will determine from time to time the number of Nonqualified Stock Options each Non-Employee Director will receive under the Plan. Future grants will cease and be suspended at any time that there are not sufficient Shares available under the Plan. Options granted pursuant to this Section 8 shall not be designated as Incentive Stock Options.

          8.02 Terms of Options.

                    8.02.1 Option Agreement. Each Option granted pursuant to this Section 8 shall be evidenced by a written stock option agreement which shall be executed by the Participant and the Company.

                    8.02.2 Exercise Price. The Exercise Price for the Shares subject to each Option granted pursuant to this Section 8 shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the Grant Date.

                    8.02.3 Exercisability. Each Option granted pursuant to this Section 8 shall become exercisable at such time or times as is determined by the Board, provided that no Option granted a Non-Employee Director may be exercised for at least one year after the date the Option is granted. If a Non-Employee Director incurs a Termination of Service, his or her Options which are not exercisable on the date of such Termination shall immediately terminate.

                    8.02.4 Expiration of Options. Each Option shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following events:

               (a) The expiration of five (5) years from the Grant Date;

               (b) The expiration of ninety (90) days from the date and time of the Participant’s Termination of Service for a reason other than death or Disability; or

               (c) The expiration of one (1) year from the date of the Participant’s death or Termination of Service by reason of death or Disability.

                    8.02.5 Other Terms. All provisions of the Plan not inconsistent with this Section 8 shall apply to Options granted to Non-Employee Directors; provided, however, that Section 5.02 (relating to the Committee’s discretion to set the terms and conditions of Options) shall be inapplicable with respect to Non-Employee Directors.

          8.03 Elections by Non-Employee Directors. Pursuant to such procedures as the Board (in its discretion) may adopt from time to time, each Non-Employee Director may elect to forego receipt of all or a portion of committee fees and meeting fees otherwise due to the

Non-Employee Director in exchange for Shares. The number of Shares received by any Non-Employee Director shall equal the amount of foregone compensation divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date that the compensation otherwise would have been paid to the Non-Employee Director, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Shares. The procedures adopted by the Board for elections under this Section 8.03 shall be designed to ensure that any such election by a Non-Employee Director will not disqualify him or her as a “non-employee director” under Rule 16b-3.

     8.04 Restricted Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Board, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Non-Employee Directors in such amounts as the Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The Board, in its sole discretion, shall determine the number of Shares to be granted to each Non-Employee Director. Awards of Restricted Stock to Non-Employee Directors shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7 of this Plan; provided, however, that the Board shall have all of the authority and discretion otherwise granted to the Committee with respect to the administration of Section 7 regarding Non-Employee Directors only.

     9. Section 162(m) Deduction Qualification. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.05, the provisions of this Section 9 shall apply only to Awards of Covered Officers.

          9.01 Awards for Covered Officers. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, all Awards to Covered Officers shall be made in a manner that allows for the full deductibility of the Award by the Company or its Subsidiaries under Section 162(m) of the Code; unless the Committee determines that compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code is not desired with respect to any specified Award or Awards. In addition, if changes are made to Code Section 162(m) to permit greater flexibility with respect to any Award or Awards available under the Plan, the Committee may make adjustments as it deems appropriate. All Awards for Covered Officers shall comply with the provisions of this Section 9.

          9.02 Designation of Covered Officers. For each Performance Period, the Committee will designate which Participants are Covered Officers within 90 days of the beginning of the Performance Period (or such earlier or later date as is permitted or required by Section 162(m) of the Code).

          9.03 Establishment of Performance Goals and Awards for Covered Officers. Within 90 days of the beginning of a Performance Period (or such earlier or later date as is permitted or required by Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall in its sole discretion, for each such Performance Period: (a) determine and establish in writing one or more Performance Goals applicable to the Performance Period for each Covered Officer; and (b) either (i) assign each Covered Officer a target Award expressed as a fixed number of Shares or a whole dollar amount or (ii) establish a payout table or formula for purposes of determining the Award payable to each Covered Officer. Each payout table or formula: (a) shall be in writing; (b) shall be based on a comparison of actual performance to the Performance Goals; (c) may include a “floor” which is the level of achievement of the Performance Goal in which payout begins; and (d) shall provide for an actual Award equal to, less than or greater than the Covered Officer’s target Award, depending on the extent to which actual performance approached, reached, or

exceeded the Performance Goal. Such pre-established Performance Goals and Awards must state, in terms of an objective formula or standard, the method for computing the amount of the Award payable to each Covered Officer if the Performance Goal is met. A formula or standard is objective if a third party having knowledge of the relevant performance results could calculate the amount to be paid to the Covered Officer. The Committee may from time to time establish any number of Performance Periods, Performance Goals and Awards for any Covered Officer running concurrently, in whole or in part, provided, that in so doing the Committee does not jeopardize the Company’s deduction for such Awards under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee may select different Performance Goals and Awards for different Covered Officers.

          9.04 Certification of Achievement of Performance Goals and Amount of Awards. After the end of each Performance Period, or such earlier date if the Performance Goals are achieved (and such date otherwise complies with Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall certify in writing, prior to the unconditional payment of any Award, that the Performance Goals for the Performance Period and all other material terms of the Plan were satisfied and to what extent they were satisfied. The Committee shall determine the actual Award for each Covered Officer based on the payout table/formula established in Section 9.03, as the case may be. Extraordinary Events shall either be excluded or included in determining the extent to which the corresponding Performance Goal has been achieved, whichever will produce the higher Award; provided, however, notwithstanding the attainment of specified Performance Goals, the Committee has the discretion to reduce or eliminate an Award that would otherwise be paid to any Participant, including any Covered Officer, based on the Committee’s evaluation of Extraordinary Events or other factors. Without limiting the manner of computing Awards set forth in the preceding sentence, with respect to Covered Officers, the Committee may not under any circumstances increase the amount of an Award.

          9.05 Maximum Award. Any other provision of the Plan notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate Awards payable to any Participant under the Plan during any one or more Performance Periods during a Fiscal Year shall not exceed 61,000{10% of Plan Authorized Shares} Shares, which maximum number of Shares shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.04.

     10. Miscellaneous.

                    10.01 Forfeiture. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in any Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event of a breach of conduct by a Participant or former Participant (including, without limitation, any conduct prejudicial to or in conflict with the Company or an Affiliate), or any activity of a Participant or former Participant in competition with any of the businesses of the Company or an Affiliate, the Committee may (a) cancel any outstanding Award granted to the Participant, in whole or in part, whether or not vested, and/or (b) if such conduct or activity occurs within one year following the exercise or payment of an Award, require the former Participant to repay to the Company any gain realized or payment received upon the exercise or payment of such Award (with such gain or repayment valued as of the date of exercise or payment). Such cancellation or repayment obligation shall be effective as of the date specified by the Committee. Any repayment obligation may be satisfied in Shares or cash or a combination thereof (based upon the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the day prior to the date of payment), and the Committee may provide for an offset to any future payments

owed by the Company or Affiliate to such individual if necessary to satisfy the repayment obligation. The determination of whether any Participant or former Participant has engaged in a breach of conduct or any activity in competition with any of the businesses of the Company or an Affiliate shall be determined by the Committee in good faith and in its sole discretion.

          10.02 No Contract of Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement shall confer on any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company or interfere with the right of the Company to terminate such Participant’s employment or other services at any time. The establishment of the Plan shall in no way, now or hereafter, reduce, enlarge or modify the employment relationship between the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary of the Company and the Participant. Awards granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of duties or position of the Participant with the Company.

          10.03 Participation. No Employee or Consultant shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.

          10.04 Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, make any or all outstanding Awards immediately exercisable or fully vested to the extent of 100% of the Shares subject thereto notwithstanding any contrary waiting or vesting periods specified in this Plan or in any applicable Award Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, accelerate the exercisability or vesting of Awards granted under the Plan in circumstances that do not constitute a change in control as defined herein.

          10.05 Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

          10.06 Beneficiary Designations. If permitted by the Committee, a Participant under the Plan may name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested but unpaid Award shall be paid in the event of the Participant’s death. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the Participant and shall be effective only if given in a form and manner acceptable to the Committee. In the absence of any such designation, any vested benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate and, subject to the terms of the Plan and of the applicable Award Agreement, any unexercised vested Award may be exercised by the administrator or executor of the Participant’s estate.

          10.07 Nontransferability of Awards; Unfunded Plan. No Award granted under the Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than (a) by will or the laws of descent and distribution, (b) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Section 401(a)(13) of the Code or Section 206(d)(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or (c) to the limited extent provided in Section 10.05; provided that in the case of an Incentive Stock Option,

such transfer or assignment may occur only to the extent it will not result in disqualifying such option as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code, or any successor provision. All rights with respect to an Award granted to a Participant shall be available during his or her lifetime only to the Participant or his or her guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant may transfer a Nonqualified Stock Option either (i) to members of his or her immediate family (as defined in Rule 16a-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act), to one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships or other entities in which such family members are the only partners or owners, provided that the Participant does not receive any consideration for the transfer, or (ii) if such transfer is approved by the Committee. If such transfer is permitted under the Award Agreement, any Nonqualified Stock Option held by such transferees are subject to the same terms and conditions that applied to such Nonqualified Stock Options immediately prior to transfer based on the transferor Participant’s continuing relationship with the Company. It is intended that the Plan be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. The Plan does not give a Participant any interest, lien or claim against any specific asset of the Company. No Participant or beneficiary shall have any rights under this Plan other than as a general unsecured creditor of the Company.

          10.08 No Rights as Stockholder. Except to the limited extent provided in Sections 7.06 and 7.07, no Participant (nor any beneficiary) shall have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), unless and until certificates representing such Shares shall have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to the Participant (or beneficiary).

          10.09 Agreements and Representations of Optionees. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Committee may, in its sole determination, require the Participant to represent in writing that the Shares being purchased are being purchased only for investment and without any present intent at the time of the acquisition of such Shares to sell or otherwise dispose of the same.

          10.10 Tax Withholding Requirements.

                    (a) The Company’s obligation to deliver Shares upon issuance or exercise of an Award shall be subject to the Participant’s satisfaction of all applicable federal, state or local tax withholding obligations. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold from any salary, wages, or other compensation for services payable by the Company to or with respect to a Participant, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal, state, and local withholding tax liability (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) attributable to such Participant’s (or any beneficiary’s or personal representative’s) receipt or disposition of Shares purchased or acquired under any Award or to take any such other action as it deems necessary to enable it to satisfy any such tax withholding obligations.

                    (b) The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part of the Participant’s tax withholding liabilities in connection with an Award by (i) having the Company withhold otherwise deliverable Shares, or (ii) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The amount of the withholding requirement shall be deemed to include any amount which the Committee determines, not to exceed the amount determined by using the minimum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant with respect to the Award on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

          10.11 Exchanges. The Committee may permit the voluntary surrender of all or a portion of any Award granted under the Plan to be conditioned upon the granting to the Participant of a new Award for the same or a different type and number of Shares as the Award surrendered, or may require such voluntary surrender as a condition precedent to a grant of a new Award to such Participant. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, such new Award shall be on such other terms and conditions as are specified by the Committee at the time the new Award is granted. Upon surrender, the Awards surrendered shall be cancelled and the Shares previously subject to them shall be available for the grant of other Awards.

          10.12 Repurchase of Shares by the Company. Any Shares purchased or acquired upon issuance or exercise of an Award may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be subject to repurchase by or forfeiture to the Company if and to the extent and at the repurchase price, if any, specifically set forth in the Award Agreement pursuant to which the Shares were purchased or acquired. Certificates representing Shares subject to such repurchase or forfeiture may be subject to such escrow and stock legend provisions as may be set forth in the Award Agreement pursuant to which the Shares were purchased or acquired.

          10.13 Confidentiality Agreements. Upon the Company’s request, each Participant shall execute, prior to or contemporaneously with the grant of any Award hereunder, the Company’s then current standard form of agreement relating to nondisclosure of confidential information, noncompetition and/or assignment of inventions and related matters.

          10.14 Compliance with Laws and Regulations. The Plan, the grant, issuance, and exercise of Awards thereunder, and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver the Shares under such Awards, shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required. Awards issued under the Plan shall not be exercisable prior to (a) the date upon which the Company shall have registered the Shares for which Awards may be issued hereunder under the Securities Act, and (b) the completion of any registration or qualification of such Shares under state law, or any ruling or regulation of any governmental body which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable in connection therewith, or alternatively, unless the Company shall have received an opinion from counsel to the Company stating that the grant, issuance, or exercise of such Awards may be effected without registering the Shares subject to such Awards under the Securities Act, or under state or other law.

          10.15 Expenses. All expenses and costs in connection with administration of the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

          10.16 Limitation of Liability. The liability of the Company and its Affiliates under this Plan or in connection with any grant, issuance, or exercise of an Award is limited to the obligations expressly set forth in the Plan and in any Award Agreements, and no term or provision of this Plan or of any Award Agreements shall be construed to impose any further or additional duties, obligations or costs on the Company and its Affiliates not expressly set forth in the Plan or the Award Agreements.

          11.01 Amendment, Suspension, or Termination. The Committee may amend, modify, or terminate the Plan at any time without further action on the part of the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that (a) in no event shall any amendment be made to the Plan which would cause the Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder to fail to qualify as incentive stock options under the Code; (b) any amendment to the Plan which requires the approval of the stockholders of the Company under the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the Code or such regulations; and (c) any amendment to the Plan which requires the approval of the stockholders of the Company under any rules promulgated under the Exchange Act shall be subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company in accordance with such rules.
