     5.2 Limits. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Plan pursuant to the exercise of Options is Six Hundred Thousand (600,000) shares of Common Stock. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under this Plan shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Article VII herein.
     5.3 Reallocation of Shares. If an Option is terminated, in whole or in part, for any reason other than its exercise, the number or shares of Common Stock allocated to the Option or portion thereof may be reallocated to other Options to be granted under this Plan.
ARTICLE VI
OPTIONS
     6.1 Grant of Options. In accordance with the provisions of Article IV herein, the Committee will designate each individual to whom an Option is to be granted and will specify the number of shares of Common Stock covered by such grants. The Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option, the vesting schedule applicable to such Option, and any other terms of such Option. An individual must be an employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate to be eligible for the grant of Incentive Stock Options.
     6.2 Option Price. The exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Option shall be determined by the Committee on the date of grant; provided, however, that the exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the exercise price per share for Common Stock subject to an Incentive Stock Option granted to an individual who is or is deemed to be a Ten Percent Shareholder on the date such Incentive Stock Option is granted, shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date the Incentive Stock Option is granted.

-4-


 

     6.3 Maximum Option Period. The maximum period in which an Option may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee on the date of grant, except that no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date on which such Option was granted. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option that is granted to a Participant who is or is deemed to be a Ten Percent Shareholder on the date of grant, such Optical shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant. The terms of any Option that is an Incentive Stock Option may provide that it is exercisable for a period less than such maximum period.
     6.4 Maximum Value of Options that are Incentive Stock Options. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted to any person are exercisable for the first time during any calendar year (under all stock option plans of the Corporation or any of its Affiliates) exceeds $100,000, the Options shall be treated as Options that are not Incentive Stock Options. For purposes of this section, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock will be determined as of the time the Incentive Stock Option with respect to the Common Stock is granted. This paragraph will be applied by taking Incentive Stock Options into account in the order in which they are granted.
     Should the foregoing provisions not be necessary in order for the Stock Options to qualify as Incentive stock Options, or should any additional provisions be required, the Board may amend this Plan accordingly, without the necessity of obtaining the approval of the stockholders of the Corporation.
     6.5 Nontransferability. Except as provided in Section 6.6 herein, each Option granted under this Plan shall be nontransferable except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Except to the extent an Option is transferred in accordance with Section 6.6 herein, during the lifetime of the Participant to whom the Option is granted, only the Participant may exercise the Option. No right or interest of a Participant in any Option shall be liable for, or subject to, any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant.
     6.6 Transferable Options. If the Option Agreement so provides, an Option that is not an Incentive Stock Option may be transferred by a Participant to the Participant’s children, grandchildren, spouse, one or more trusts for the benefit of such family members or a partnership in which such family members are the only partners; provided, however, that the Participant may not receive any consideration for the transfer. The holder of an Option transferred pursuant to this section shall be bound by the same terms and conditions that governed the Option during the period that it was held by the Participant
     6.7 Vesting. Except as provided in an Option Agreement, the following rules shall apply:
  (a)   An Option will be exercisable only to the extent that it is vested on the date of exercise. Unless the Option Agreement provides otherwise, further vesting of an Option will cease on the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment, and the Option will be exercisable only to the extent the Option is vested on the date of Termination of Employment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if an Optionee incurs a Termination for Cause, all of his or her unexercised Options, including Options that were previously vested, shall be forfeited immediately.
 
  (b)   An Option shall vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Option Agreement.
 
  (c)   The Option Agreement may provide that upon a “Change in Control” (as hereinafter defined) each grant of an Option held by an Optionee who has not had a Termination of Employment shall become vested as set forth in the Option Agreement.

-5-


 

  (d)   “Change in Control” shall mean a change of control of a nature that would be required to be reported in response to Item 6(e) of Schedule 14A of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), whether or not the Corporation is then subject to such reporting requirement; provided that, without limitation, such a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if (A) any “person” (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as determined for purposes of Regulation 13D-G under the Exchange Act as currently in effect), other than a Corporation-sponsored employee benefit plan, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Corporation representing twenty percent (20%) or more of the combined voting power of the Corporation’s then outstanding securities; or (B) during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board and any new director, whose election to the Board or nomination for election to the Board by the Corporation’s Shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election to the Board or nomination for election to the Board by the Corporation’s Shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board; or (C) the Shareholders of the Corporation approve (1) a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any corporation or other entity other than merger or consolidation which would result in the holders of the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto holding immediately thereafter securities representing more than eighty percent (80%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Corporation or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (2) a plan of complete liquidation of the Corporation or (3) an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Corporation of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets; provided, however, that if such a merger, consolidation, plan of liquidation or sale of substantially all assets is not consummated following such Shareholder approval and the transaction is abandoned, then the Change in Control shall be deemed not to have occurred.
     6.8 Termination of Employment. Except as provided in an Option Agreement or Section 6.7(a), upon the occurrence of a Termination of Employment the following rules shall apply:
  (a)   An Option will be exercisable only to the extent that it is vested on the date of exercise. Unless the Option Agreement provides otherwise, further vesting of an Option will cease on the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment, and the Option will be exercisable only to the extent the Option is vested on the date of Termination of Employment.
 
  (b)   Unless the Option Agreement provides otherwise, if the Optionee’s Termination of Employment is for reason of Disability, the right to exercise the Option (to the extent vested) will expire on the earlier of (i) one (1) year after the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment, or (ii) the expiration date of the Option under the terms of the relevant Option Agreement. Until such expiration date, the Optionee’s heirs, legatees or legal representative may exercise the Option, except to the extent the Option was previously transferred pursuant to Section 6.6 herein. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 6.8(b), if the Option Agreement so provides, the period for exercising an Option that was initially granted as an incentive Stock Option may extend to the full period permitted under Section 6.3; provided, however, that any Option exercise that occurs more than one (1) year after the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment for reason of Disability shall be deemed to be an exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option.

-6-


 

  (c)   Unless the Option Agreement provides otherwise, if the Optionee’s Termination of Employment is for any reason other than Disability, the right to exercise the Option (to the extent that the Option is vested) will expire on the earlier of (i) three (3) months after the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment, or (ii) the expiration date under the terms of the relevant Option Agreement. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 6.8(c), if the Option Agreement so provides; the period for exercising an Option that was initially granted as an Incentive Stock Option may extend to the full period permitted under Section 6.3; provided, however, that any option exercise that occurs more than three (3) months after the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment for any reason other than Disability shall be deemed to be an exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option.
 
  (d)   If Termination of Employment is for a reason other than the Optionee’s death or Disability and the Option holder dies after his or her Termination of Employment but before the right to exercise the Option has expired, the right to exercise the Option shall expire on the earlier of (i) one (1) year after the date of the Optionee’s Termination of Employment, or (ii) the date the Option expires under the terms of the relevant Option Agreement, and until expiration, the Optionee’s heirs, legatees or legal representative may exercise the Option, except to the extent the Option was previously transferred pursuant to Section 6.6 herein and except to the extent that the Option Agreement provides otherwise.
 
  (e)   Unless the Option agreement provides otherwise, upon Optionee’s Termination of Employment, if the Corporation is a Non-Public Company, the Corporation shall retain the right on all Common Stock granted to Optionee (including shares issued pursuant to the Option) to repurchase the same. The Corporation’s right to repurchase will expire if not exercised within one year of Optionee’s Termination of Employment. The price shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the business day prior to exercise. Earnings before taxes per share for each of those years will be based on the financial statements and projections for the Corporation prepared by the Corporation, as adjusted, if at all, by independent auditors of the Corporation. In no event shall the repurchase price be less than Optionee’s federal tax basis in the shares being repurchased. The repurchase price calculated above may be paid, at the Corporation’s option, either (i) in cash, or (ii) in 48 equal monthly installments beginning on the date of repurchase, together with interest at a rate equal to the lower of the prime rate of the Corporation’s bank or 8% per annum.
     6.9 Forfeiture of Options. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, an Optionee’s rights to exercise an Option (or the rights of a person claiming the right to exercise an Option rights though an Optionee) may be forfeited, terminated or otherwise limited in accordance with terms of any other agreement between the Corporation and Optionee if such other agreement provides for such forfeiture, termination or limitation.
     6.10 Employee Status. For purposes of determining the applicability of Section 422 of the Code (relating to Incentive Stock Options), or in the event that the terms of any Option provide that it may be exercised only during employment or within a specified period of time after Termination of Employment, the Committee may decide to what extent leaves of absence for governmental or military service, illness, temporary disability, or other reasons shall not be deemed to be interruptions of continuous employment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, a leave of absence with respect to qualified military service, as defined in Section 414(u)(5) of the Code, shall not constitute a Termination of Employment if the Corporation (or any Affiliate) reemploys the Participant within ninety (90) days from termination of the Participant’s qualified military service.

-7-


 

     6.11 Exercise. The Option holder must provide written notice to the Secretary of the Committee of the exercise of Options and the number of Options exercised. Subject to the provisions of this Plan and the applicable Option Agreement, an Option may be exercised to the extent vested in whole at any time or in part from time to time at such times and in compliance with such requirements as the Committee shall determine. An Option granted under this Plan may be exercised with respect to any number or whole shares less than the full number for which the Option could be exercised. A partial exercise of an Option shall not affect the right to exercise the Option from time to time in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Option Agreement with respect to the remaining shares subject to the Option. An Option may not be exercised with respect to fractional shares of Common Stock.
     6.12 Payment. Unless otherwise provided by the Option Agreement, payment of the Option price shall be made in cash or a cash equivalent acceptable to the Committee. Unless otherwise provided by the Option Agreement, payment of all or part of the Option price may also be made by surrendering shares of Common Stock to the Corporation that have been held for at least six (6) months prior to the date of exercise. If Common Stock is used to pay all or part of the Option price, the sum of the cash or cash equivalent and the Fair Market Value (determined as of the date of exercise) of the shares surrendered must not be less than the Option price of the shares for which the Option is being exercised. If the Common Stock is traded on an established securities market, the Committee may approve payment of the exercise price by a broker-dealer or by the Option holder with cash advanced by the broker-dealer if the exercise notice is accompanied by the Option holder’s written irrevocable instructions to deliver the Common Stock acquired upon exercise of the Option to the broker-dealer. Unless otherwise provided by the Option Agreement, at the option of the Committee, payment of all or part of the Option price may also be made by reducing the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise of the Option, based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of exercise as determined by the Committee.
     6.13 Shareholder Rights. No Participant shall have any rights as a Shareholder with respect to shares subject to his Option until the date of exercise of such Option.
     6.14 Stock Certificate Legends for Option Shares. With respect to Common Stock acquired pursuant to an exercise of any Option, the transferability of such Common Stock shall be limited as provided by this Section 6.14 and Section 6.15. The shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option issued under this Plan shall be endorsed with a legend, containing one or more of the following paragraphs, in substantially the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES WHICH IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT RELATING TO THE DISPOSITION OF SECURITIES AND (3) IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.
THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE CORPORATION’S 2003 STOCK OPTION PLAN AND A CERTAIN STOCK OPTION (OR BUY/SELL) AGREEMENT, COPIES OF WHICH ARE AVAILABLE FROM THE CORPORATION.

THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO __________, 200_, IN THE ABSENCE OF A WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE CORPORATION TO THE EFFECT THAT THE CORPORATION IS AWARE OF THE FACTS OF SUCH SALE OR TRANSFER.
     6.15 Right of First Refusal; Lock-up; Drag-Along Rights.
  (a)   No person who has acquired his or her Common Stock either directly through the exercise of an Option under this Plan or indirectly through, a person or persons who originally acquired such Common Stock under this Plan shall be permitted to sell such Common Stock except in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.14 and this Section 6.15.
 
  (b)   If any Shareholder shall receive an offer to purchase any or all of the Common Stock owned by such Shareholder, which offer the Shareholder desires to accept (“Offer”), the Shareholder (“Offeree”) shall give the Corporation written notice (the “Disposition Notice”) of the receipt by the Offeree of the Offer together with a copy of the Offer, if made in writing, or a written description of all its terms and the identity of the offering party or parties, if made orally. In such case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.15, the Corporation shall have the right and option to purchase all of the Shares owned by the Offeree (the “Purchase Option”). The Purchase Option of the Corporation shall lapse and expire unless, within sixty (60) calendar days after the Offeree gives the Corporation written notice in accordance with this Section, the Corporation by written notice to the Offeree exercises the option with respect to all Offeree’s shares.
 
  (c)   The purchase price of any shares of Common Stock that are sold pursuant to the exercise of the Purchase Option shall be the price specified in the Offer (including the cash equivalent value of any consideration to be given pursuant to the offer that consists (in whole or in part) of consideration other than cash). The purchase price shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The closing of a purchase and sale pursuant to the exercise of the Purchase Option shall take place at such place as the Shareholder and the Corporation shall, agree or, if the parties thereto are unable to agree, at the Corporation’s chief executive offices at 10:00 a.m. local time on the sixtieth (60th) day after the exercise of the Purchase Option or, if that day is not a business day, on the first business day thereafter. At the closing of any purchase and sale pursuant to this Section, the Offeree shall deliver his Shares to the Corporation with stock powers endorsed in blank.
 
  (d)   If the Purchase Option of the Corporation shall lapse and expire, subject to compliance with Section 5 hereof, the Offeree may accept the Offer and may sell the Offeree’s Shares in strict accordance with the terms of such Offer, provided said sale occurs within sixty (60) calendar days after the Purchase Option lapsed and expired. It shall be a condition to the transfer of Shares pursuant to the Offer, however, that the Purchaser of such Shares shall have agreed, prior to the transfer of Shares pursuant to the Offer, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Section 16 below. After such sixty (60) day period, the Shares may not thereafter be transferred without again complying with the provisions of this Section 6.15.
 
  (e)   The provisions of Section 6.14 and Subsections 6.15(a) — (d) shall not apply upon and after the date that the Corporation become a Public Company.

  (f)   If the Corporation elects at its option to distribute its shares in any initial or follow-on underwritten public offerings, the underwriter may require as a condition of any such offering that certain of the then existing security holders of the Corporation agree to a lock-up of the shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock held by them or issuable to them upon the exercise of Options for a period commencing with the filing of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and continuing for up to 180 days after the effective date thereof (the “Lock-up Period”).
 
  (g)   It is a condition to the issuance of Options hereunder that, except to the extent permitted herein or otherwise by the Corporation, no participant in the Plan will be permitted during the Lock-up Period to sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock issued or issuable to such participant upon the exercise of an Option. Without limiting the foregoing, no participant shall be permitted during the Lock-up Period from (i) offering, pledging, announcing the intention to sell, selling, issuing, contracting to sell, selling any option or contract to purchase, purchasing any option or contract to sell, granting any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transferring or disposing of, directly or indirectly, any shares, or (ii) entering into any swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.15(g) shall not prohibit any transfer or other disposition by a participant involving (i) a transfer or disposition of shares on his or her death to the participant’s estate, executor, administrator or personal representative or to the participant’s beneficiaries pursuant to a devise or bequest or by the laws of descent and distribution or (ii) a transfer or disposition of shares as a bona fide gift, provided that, in either such event, the transferee, pledgee or other person receiving such shares shall be subject to all of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.15 and, if required by the Corporation, shall agree in writing to be bound by such provisions.
 
  (h)   If one or more Shareholders (the “Initiating Shareholders”) desires to sell a majority of the outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation (a “Drag-Along Sale”) in one or more related transactions pursuant to a bona fide, arm’s length offer, each Shareholder shall be required to sell, that number of Shares as is equal to the product of the number of Shares of Common Stock held by such Shareholder multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares proposed to be sold by the Initiating Sellers in the Drag-Along Sale and the denominator of which is the number of Shares owned in the aggregate by the Initiating Sellers (the “Drag-Along Shares”).
 
  (i)   The Shares to be purchased in the Drag-Along Sale shall be paid for at the same price per Share and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the sale of Shares by the Initiating Sellers.

The Drag-Along Notice shall set forth the name of the purchaser of the Shares, the number of Shares that the Initiating Sellers will require the other Shareholders to sell in the Drag-Along Sale, the price per Share (calculated on a fully-diluted basis) to be paid in the Drag-Along Sale and the terms and conditions of payment.

     7.1 The existence of outstanding Options shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its Shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalization, reorganizations subdivisions, consolidations or other changes is the Corporation’s capital structure or its business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation, or any issuance of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise, effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding, without receiving compensation therefore in money, services or property, a merger of one or more corporations into the Corporation (or the merger of the Corporation into another company) or after a consolidation of the Corporation and one or more corporations regardless of whether the Corporation shall be the surviving company, (collectively, “Corporate Events”). With respect to any Corporate Event, the Corporation and/or the Committee may, with or without consideration to the Option holders, terminate, modify, amend, substitute and compromise Options, including vested Options, that are outstanding as of any date relative to such Corporate Event. Neither the Corporation nor the Committee nor any officer, director, shareholder or Committee member shall be held liable to any Option holder for any actions taken in derogation of the rights or economic interests of any Option holder.
     7.2 If the Corporation shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding, without receiving compensation therefore in money, services or property, then the Corporation and/or the Committee shall be free to adjust the number, value and class of stock represented by the Option upon such terms and in accordance with such matters as the Corporation and/or the Committee, in their sole and absolute discretion shall deem in the best interests of the Corporation.
     7.3 After a merger of one or more corporations into the Corporation or after a consolidation of the Corporation and one or more corporations in which the Corporation shall be the surviving company, then the Corporation and/or the Committee shall be free to adjust the number, value and class of stock represented by the Option upon such terms and in accordance with such matters as the Corporation and/or the Committee, in their sole and absolute discretion shall deem in the best interests of the Corporation.
     7.4 If the Corporation is merged into or consolidated with another company under circumstances where the Corporation is not the surviving company, or if the Corporation is liquidated, or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all of its assets to another company while unexercised Options remain outstanding under this Plan, then the Corporation and/or the Committee shall be free to adjust the number, value and class of stock represented by the Option upon such terms and in accordance with such matters as the Corporation and/or the Committee, in their sole and absolute discretion shall deem in the best interests of the Corporation.

No fractional interest will be issued under this Plan on account of any such adjustment. No adjustment will be made in a manner that causes an Incentive Stock Option to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the Code.
     7.7 The Committee may grant Options in substitution for performance shares, phantom shares, stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar awards held by an individual who becomes an employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate in connection with a transaction described in Section 7.3 of this Article VII.

Subject to such conditions as may be established by the Committee, the Committee may permit a Participant to (i) have Common Stock otherwise issuable under an Option withheld, (ii) tender back to the Corporation shares of Common Stock received pursuant to an Option, (iii) deliver to the Corporation previously acquired Common Stock, (iv) have funds withheld from payments of wages, salary or other cash compensation due the Participant, or (v) pay the Corporation in cash, in order to satisfy part or all of the obligations for any taxes required to be withheld or otherwise deducted and paid by the Corporation with respect to the Option.
