ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

4.1 CONDITIONS. Each Employee shall become eligible to become a Participant on the Commencement Date next following the date he is initially employed by the Employer. No Employee who is a Five-Percent Stockholder shall be eligible to participate in the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no individual who is not an Employee shall be granted an option to purchase Stock under the Plan.

4.2 APPLICATION FOR PARTICIPATION. The Company will make available to each Employee who becomes eligible to participate in the Plan a summary of the Plan and the Plan document. If such Employee elects to participate hereunder, he shall complete an enrollment form (or on-line enrollment process as determined by the Plan Administrator) and file it with the Employer or the third party plan administrator appointed by the Plan Administrator, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the next Commencement Date (the “Enrollment Period”). The duration and timing of any Enrollment Periods may be changed or modified by the Plan Administrator from time to time. The completed enrollment form shall indicate the amount of Employee contributions authorized by the Employee. If no new enrollment form is filed by a Participant in advance of any Option Period after the initial Option Period, that Participant shall be deemed to have elected to continue to participate with the same contribution previously elected (subject to the limit of ten percent (10%) of base pay). If any Employee does not elect to participate in any given Option Period, he may elect to participate on any future Commencement Date so long as he continues to meet the eligibility requirements.

4.3 DATE OF PARTICIPATION. All Employees who elect to participate shall be enrolled in the Plan commencing with the first pay date after the Commencement Date following their submission of the enrollment form. Upon becoming a Participant, the Participant shall be bound by the terms of this Plan, including any amendments whenever made.

4.4 ACQUISITION OR CREATION OF SUBSIDIARY. Except as otherwise provided (i) in a written notice provided by the Plan Administrator prior to a Commencement Date or (ii) pursuant to the terms of an applicable merger, asset, stock or other similar acquisition agreement, if an Entity is acquired by the Company or another Employer so that the acquired Entity becomes a Subsidiary, or if a Subsidiary is created, the Subsidiary in either case shall become an Employer and its Employees shall become eligible to participate in the Plan on the first reasonably practicable Commencement Date following the acquisition or creation of the Subsidiary (taking into consideration such factors as conversion of payroll systems, assumption of other benefit plans and other administrative matters), but in no event later than the second Commencement Date occurring after the acquisition or creation of the Subsidiary, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may by appropriate resolutions (i) provide that the acquired or newly created Subsidiary shall not be a participating Employer, (ii) specify that the acquired or newly created Subsidiary will become a participating Employer on a date later than the second Commencement Date after the acquisition or creation, or (iii) attach any condition whatsoever to eligibility of the employees of the acquired or newly created Subsidiary, except to the extent such condition would not comply with applicable law or listing standards.

ARTICLE V.

CONTRIBUTION ACCOUNT

5.1 EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTIONS. The enrollment form signed or executed on-line, as determined by the Plan Administrator, by each Participant shall authorize the Employer to deduct from the Participant’s compensation an after-tax amount during each payroll period not less than one percent (1%) of the Participant’s base pay on the Commencement Date nor more than an amount which is up to ten percent (10%) of the Participant’s base pay on the Commencement Date. If no new enrollment form is filed by a Participant in advance of any Option Period after the initial Option Period, that Participant shall be deemed to have elected to continue to participate with the same contribution previously elected (subject to the limit of ten percent (10%) of base pay). The permitted deferral amounts, including any minimum or maximum limit, may be changed or modified by the Plan Administrator from time to time. A Participant’s base pay shall be determined before subtracting any elective deferrals to a qualified plan under Section 401(k) of the Code, salary reduction contributions to a cafeteria plan under Section 125 of the Code or elective deferrals to a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, as applicable. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator with respect to an Option Period, the dollar amount deducted each payday shall be credited to the Participant’s Contribution Account. Participant contributions will not be permitted to commence at any time during the Option Period other than on the Commencement Date. Unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator with respect to an Option Period, no interest will accrue on any contributions or on the balance in a Participant’s Contribution Account.

5.2 MODIFICATION OF CONTRIBUTION RATE. No change shall be permitted in a Participant’s amount of withholding except upon a Commencement Date, and then only if the Participant files a new enrollment form or on-line form with the Employer or third party administrator, as determined by the Plan Administrator, during the applicable Enrollment Period designating the desired withholding rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may notify the Employer at any time (except during the periods from June 16 through June 30 and December 17 through December 31) that he wishes to discontinue his contributions. This notice shall be in writing or made on-line, as determined by the Plan Administrator, or on such forms as provided by the Employer and shall become effective immediately. The Participant shall become eligible to recommence contributions on the next Commencement Date.

5.3 WITHDRAWAL OF CONTRIBUTIONS. A Participant may elect to withdraw the balance of his Contribution Account at any time during the Option Period prior to the Exercise Date (except during the periods from June 16 through June 30 and December 17 through December 31). Withdrawn funds will be returned to the employee through payroll, as soon as administratively practical typically within two pay periods. The option granted to a Participant shall be canceled upon his withdrawal of the balance in his Contribution Account. This election to withdraw must be in writing on such forms as may be provided by the Employer. If contributions are withdrawn in this manner, further contributions during that Option Period will be discontinued in the same manner as provided in Section 5.2, and the Participant shall become eligible to recommence contributions on the next Commencement Date.

5.4 LIMITATIONS ON CONTRIBUTIONS. During each Option Period, the total contributions by a Participant to his Contribution Account shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Participant’s base pay for the Option Period. If a Participant’s total contributions should exceed this limit, the excess shall be returned to the Participant after the end of the Option Period, without interest. The permitted deferral amounts, including any minimum or maximum limit, may be changed or modified by the Plan Administrator from time to time.

ARTICLE VI.

ISSUANCE AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

6.1 RESERVED SHARES OF STOCK. The initial maximum aggregate number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be One Million (1,000,000). Shares of Stock issued under the Plan shall consist of authorized but unissued shares, reacquired shares, including in the open market, or any combination thereof. If an outstanding option for any reason expires or is terminated or canceled without having been exercised in full or for any reason is no longer exercisable in full or in part, the shares of Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such option shall again be available for issuance under the Plan.

 

4


6.2 ISSUANCE OF OPTIONS. On the Grant Date each Participant shall be deemed to receive an option to purchase Stock with the number of shares and Exercise Price determined as provided in this Article VI, subject to the maximum limits specified in Section 6.6(a). All such options shall be automatically exercised on the following Exercise Date, except for options which are canceled when a Participant withdraws the balance of his Contribution Account or which are otherwise terminated under the provisions of this Plan.

6.3 DETERMINATION OF EXERCISE PRICE. Unless otherwise established by the Plan Administrator prior to the start of an Option Period, the Exercise Price of the options granted under this Plan for any Option Period shall be ninety percent (90%) of the Closing Market Price of the Stock on the Exercise Date. The Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine the percentage of the Exercise Price and the date or dates upon which such Exercise Price will be based for each Option Period and shall provide notice of such provisions to Participants prior to the Commencement Date of each Option Period.

6.4 PURCHASE OF STOCK. On an Exercise Date, all options shall be automatically exercised, except that the options of a Participant who has terminated employment pursuant to Section 7.1 or who has withdrawn all his contributions shall expire. The Contribution Account of each Participant shall be used to purchase the maximum number of whole and fractional shares of Stock determined by dividing the Exercise Price into the balance of the Participant’s Contribution Account.

6.5 TERMS OF OPTIONS. Options granted under this Plan shall be subject to such amendment or modification as the Employer shall deem necessary to comply with any applicable law or regulation, including any applicable tax withholding obligations, and shall contain such other provisions as the Employer shall from time to time approve and deem necessary.

6.6 LIMITATIONS ON OPTIONS. The options granted hereunder are subject to the following limitations:

(a) The maximum number of shares of Stock which may be purchased by any Participant on an Exercise Date, subject to the limit provided for in Section 6.6(b) herein, shall be five thousand (5,000) shares. This maximum number of shares shall be adjusted as determined by the Plan Administrator in accordance with, and upon the occurrence of an event described in, Section 10.3. Any amounts contributed by a Participant during an Option Period which may not be used to purchase Stock due to the share limit under this Section 6.6(a) shall be returned to the participant in cash, without interest.

(b) No Participant shall be permitted to accrue the right to purchase during any calendar year Stock under this Plan (or any other employee stock purchase plan of the Employer, a parent or a Subsidiary) having a fair market value of greater than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) (as determined on the Grant Date for the Option Period during which each such share of Stock is purchased).

(c) No option may be granted to a Participant if the Participant immediately after the option is granted would be a Five-Percent Stockholder.

(d) No Participant may assign, transfer or otherwise alienate any options granted to him under this Plan, otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such options must be exercised during the Participant’s lifetime only by him.

6.7 WITHHOLDING OF TAXES. Upon the Exercise Date, the Company shall have the right and is hereby authorized to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations or withholding taxes (“Withholding Taxes”), including any federal Withholding Taxes as set forth by Internal Revenue Service guidelines for the employer’s minimum statutory withholding, with respect to the Participant’s purchase of Stock. Participants will be required to pay withholding and employment taxes on the Exercise Date on the amount of the discount received on the Shares due to the nonqualified status of the Plan.

6.8 PRO-RATA REDUCTION OF OPTIONED STOCK. If the total number of shares of Stock to be purchased under options by all Participants on an Exercise Date exceeds the number of shares of Stock remaining authorized for issuance under Section 6.1, a pro-rata allocation of the shares of Stock available for issuance will be made among Participants in proportion to their respective Contribution Account balances on the Exercise Date, and any money remaining in the Contribution Accounts shall be returned to the Participants, without interest.

 

5


6.9 STATE SECURITIES LAWS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to issue shares of Stock to any Participant if to do so would violate any State (or other applicable) securities law applicable to the sale of Stock to such Participant. In the event that the Company refrains from issuing shares of Stock to any Participant in reliance on this Section, the Company shall return to such Participant the amount in such Participant’s Contribution Account that would otherwise have been applied to the purchase of Stock.

ARTICLE VII.

TERMINATION OF PARTICIPATION

7.1 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Any Employee whose employment with the Employer is terminated during the Option Period prior to the Exercise Date for any reason except death or disability shall cease being a Participant immediately. The balance of that Participant’s Contribution Account shall be paid to such Participant as soon as practical after his termination. The option not yet exercised during such Option Period by a terminated Participant shall be null and void.

7.2 DEATH. If a Participant should die while employed by the Employer, no further contributions on behalf of the deceased Participant shall be made. The legal representative of the deceased Participant may elect to withdraw the balance in said Participant’s Contribution Account by notifying the Employer in writing prior to the Exercise Date in the Option Period during which the Participant died (except during the periods from June 16 through June 30 and December 17 through December 31). In the event no election to withdraw is made on or before the June 16 or December 17 preceding the Exercise Date, the balance accumulated in the deceased Participant’s Contribution Account shall be used to purchase shares of Stock in accordance with Section 6.4.

7.3 DISABILITY. If a Participant should terminate employment with the Employer on account of disability, as determined by reference to the definition of “disability” in the Employer’s long-term disability plan, no further contributions on behalf of the disabled Participant shall be made. The Participant may elect to withdraw the balance in his Contribution Account by notifying the Employer in writing prior to the Exercise Date in the Option Period during which the Participant became disabled (except during the periods from June 16 through June 30 and December 17 through December 31). In the event no election to withdraw is made on or before the June 16 or December 17 preceding the Exercise Date, the balance accumulated in the disabled Participant’s Contribution Account shall be used to purchase shares of Stock in accordance with Section 6.4.

ARTICLE VIII.

OWNERSHIP OF STOCK

8.1 ISSUANCE OF STOCK. As soon as practical after the Exercise Date, the Plan Administrator will, in its sole discretion, either credit a share account maintained for the benefit of each Participant or issue certificates to each Participant for the number of shares of Stock purchased under the Plan by such Participant during an Option Period (less any shares of Stock withheld pursuant to Section 6.7). Such determination by the Plan Administrator shall apply equally to all shares of Stock purchased during the Option Period. Certificates may be issued, at the request of a Participant, in the name of the Participant, jointly in the name of the Participant and a member of the Participant’s family, to the Participant as custodian for the Participant’s child under the Gift to Minors Act, or to the legal representative of a deceased Participant.

8.2 RESTRICTIONS ON SALE. Unless another period is designated by the Plan Administrator in advance of the Commencement Date of an Option Period, as discussed below, any shares of Stock purchased under the Plan may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by an actively employed Participant (or their legal representative or estate, as applicable) for six (6) months following the applicable Exercise Date (the “Restricted Period”). Terminated Participants (or their legal representative or estate, as applicable) are not subject to the restrictions on resale following their termination date. The Plan Administrator may, in its sole discretion, place additional restrictions on the sale or transfer of shares of Stock purchased under the Plan during any Option Period (including the designation of a new Restricted Period) by notice to all Participants of the nature of such restrictions given in advance of the Commencement Date of such Option Period. The additional restrictions may, among other things, change the Restricted Period to a period of up to two years from the Grant Date, subject to such exceptions as the Plan Administrator may determine (e.g., termination of employment with the Employer). Certificates issued pursuant to Section 8.1 for shares that are restricted, shall, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, contain a legend disclosing the nature and duration of the restriction (including a description of the Restricted Period). Any such restrictions and exceptions determined by the Plan Administrator shall be applicable equally to all shares of Stock purchased during the Option Period for which the restrictions are first applicable. In addition, the Restricted Period and such other restrictions and exceptions applicable to the Stock shall remain applicable during subsequent Option Periods unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator. If the Plan Administrator should change or eliminate any restrictions for a subsequent Option Period, notice of such action shall be given to all Participants.

8.3 TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. A Participant who purchases shares of Stock under this Plan shall be transferred at such time substantially all of the rights of ownership of such shares of Stock. Such rights of ownership shall include the right to vote, the right to receive declared dividends, the right to share in the assets of the Employer in the event of liquidation, the right to inspect the Employer’s books and the right to pledge or sell such Stock subject to the restrictions in the Plan.

ARTICLE IX.

If the Plan is terminated, all options outstanding at the time of termination shall become null and void and the balance in each Participant’s Contribution Account shall be paid to that Participant, without interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment of the Plan as described in Section 3.2, or as may be required to otherwise comply with any applicable tax or regulatory requirement, shall become effective until and unless such amendment is approved by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the approval requirements of Section 3.2.

7


10.2 NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to constitute a contract of employment between an Employer and any Employee or to be an inducement for the employment of any Employee. Nothing contained in this Plan shall be deemed to give any Employee the right to be retained in the service of an Employer or to interfere with the right of an Employer to discharge any Employee at any time, with or without cause, regardless of the effect which such discharge may have upon him as a Participant of the Plan.

10.3 ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN STOCK. The aggregate number of shares of Stock reserved for purchase under the Plan as provided in Section 6.1, and the calculation of the Exercise Price as provided in Section 6.3, shall be adjusted by the Plan Administrator (subject to direction by the Board of Directors) in an equitable and proportionate manner to reflect changes in the capitalization of the Company, including, but not limited to, such changes as result from merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, dividend in property other than cash, stock split, combination of shares, exchange of shares and change in corporate structure. If any adjustment under this Section 10.3 would create a fractional share of Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares available under the Plan and the number of shares covered under any options granted pursuant to the Plan shall be the next lower number of shares, rounding all fractions downward.

10.4 EMPLOYER’S RIGHTS. The rights and powers of any Employer shall not be affected in any way by its participation in this Plan, including but not limited to the right or power of any Employer to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

10.5 LIMIT ON LIABILITY. No liability whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any past, present or future stockholders, officers or directors, as such, of the Company or any Employer, under or by reason of any of the terms, conditions or agreements contained in this Plan or implied therefrom, and any and all liabilities of any and all rights and claims against the Company, an Employer, or any stockholder, officer or director as such, whether arising at common law or in equity or created by statute or constitution or otherwise, pertaining to this Plan, are hereby expressly waived and released by every Participant as a part of the consideration for any benefits under this Plan; provided, however, no waiver shall occur, solely by reason of this Section 10.5, of any right which is not susceptible to advance waiver under applicable law.
