WHEREAS, the Company has adopted and maintains the Plan;

“Except as otherwise specified by the Administrator prior to the commencement of an Offering Period (as defined below): (i) the offering periods of this Plan (each, an “Offering Period”) shall be twenty-four (24) month periods commencing on May 1 and November 1 of each year and ending on April 30 and October 31 of each year, and (ii) each Offering Period shall consist of four (4) six-month purchase periods (each, a “Purchase Period”) during which payroll deductions or other contributions of the participants are accumulated under this Plan. The “Offering Date” shall be the first business day of each Offering Period or, for purposes of determining the purchase price under Sections 7 and 8, the first day of the Offering Period if such day is a business day, or the first business day immediately prior to the start of the Offering Period if such first day is not a business day. The last business day of each Purchase Period is referred to as the “Purchase Date.””
