4. Administration of the Plan. The Board shall be invested with the responsibility for the administration of the Plan; provided, however, that the Board may appoint a Committee which shall be invested with the responsibility for the administration of the Plan; provided further, however, that at such time, if ever, that the Company becomes subject to the Exchange Act, the Board shall appoint a Committee, which shall consist of not less than two (2) outside directors as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.162-27 who shall also qualify as disinterested directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, which shall be invested with the responsibility for the administration of the Plan; provided further, however, that the failure to appoint a Committee satisfying the foregoing requirement shall not effect the validity of any Options granted under the Plan. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee shall have full authority, in its discretion, to determine the Participants to whom Awards shall be granted, the number of Shares to be covered by each of the Awards, and the terms of any such Award; to amend or cancel Awards (subject to Section 19 of the Plan); to accelerate the vesting of Awards; to require the cancellation or surrender of any previously granted awards under this Plan or any other plans of the Company as a condition to the granting of an Award; to interpret the Plan; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; and generally to interpret and determine any and all matters whatsoever relating to the administration of the Plan and the granting of Awards hereunder. The Board may from time to time appoint members to the Committee in substitution for or in addition to members previously appointed and may fill vacancies, however caused, in the Committee. The Committee shall select one of its members as its chairman and shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it shall deem advisable. A majority of its members shall constitute a quorum. Any action of the Committee may be taken by a written instrument signed by all of the members, and any action so taken shall be fully as

The Committee shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable and shall appoint a Secretary who shall keep minutes of its meetings and records of all action taken in writing without a meeting. No member of the Committee shall be liable, in the absence of bad faith, for any act or omission with respect to his or her service on the Committee.

5. Participants to Whom Awards May Be Granted. Awards may be granted in each calendar year or portion thereof while the Plan is in effect to such of the Participants as the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, in its discretion, shall determine. In determining the Participants to whom Awards shall be granted and the number of Shares to be issued or subject to purchase or issuance under such Awards, the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, shall take into account the recommendations of the Company’s management as to the duties of the respective Participants, their present and potential contributions to the success of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and such other factors as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall deem relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Options may be granted to a Participant who is not an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. If the Company becomes subject to the Exchange Act, no Participant shall receive Options and/or Restricted Stock Awards to acquire more than One Hundred Twenty Five Thousand (125,000) Shares in any one calendar year. No Award shall be granted to any member of the Board who is not also an officer or key employee or consultant of the Company or any Subsidiary.

6. Stock Options.

6.1 Types of Options. Options granted under the Plan may be (i) Incentive Stock Options, (ii) Non-Qualified Stock Options or (iii) a combination of the foregoing. The Award Agreement shall designate whether an Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Non-Qualified Stock Option and separate Award Agreements shall be issued for each type of Option when a combination of an Incentive Stock Option and a Non-Qualified Stock Option are granted on the same date to the same Participant. Any Option which is designated as a Non-Qualified Stock Option shall not be treated by the Company or the Participant to whom the Option is granted as an Incentive Stock Option for federal income tax purposes.

6.2 Option Price. The option price per Share of any Non-Qualified Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by the Option on the date the Option is granted unless the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, in its sole discretion, determines to set the option price at an amount less than or greater than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on such date. The option price per Share of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by the Option on the date the Option is granted.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the option price per Share of any Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee Shareholder shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Shares covered by the Option on the date the Option is granted.

6.3 Term of Options. Options granted hereunder shall be exercisable for a Term of not more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof, but shall be subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided. Each Award Agreement issued hereunder shall specify the Term of the Option, which shall be determined by the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, in accordance with its discretionary authority hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Incentive Stock Option is granted to an Employee Shareholder, then such Incentive Stock Option shall not be exercisable more than five (5) years from the date of grant thereof, but shall be subject to earlier termination as hereinafter provided.

7. Limit on Fair Market Value of Incentive Stock Options. No Participant may be granted an Incentive Stock Option hereunder to the extent that the aggregate fair market value (such fair market value being determined as of the date of grant of the option in question) of the stock with respect to which incentive stock options are first exercisable by such Participant during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Participant’s employer corporation, its Parent, if any, and its Subsidiaries, if any) exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). For purposes of the preceding sentence, options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. Any Option granted under the Plan which is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option, but which exceeds the limitation set forth in this Section 7, shall be a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

8. Restricted Stock Awards. Restricted Stock Awards granted under the Plan shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, in its discretion, determine and set forth in the related Restricted Stock Award Agreements. Restricted Stock Awards shall be granted in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions set forth below.

8.1 Issuance of Shares. Each Restricted Stock Award shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Award Agreement which shall set forth the number of Shares issuable under the Restricted Stock Award. Subject to the restrictions in Section 8.3 of the Plan, and subject further to such other restrictions or conditions established by the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, in its discretion, and set forth in the related Restricted Stock Award Agreement (such as requiring the Participant to pay an amount equal to the aggregate par value of the Shares to be issued thereunder), the number of Shares granted under a Restricted Stock Award shall be issued in the recipient

Participant’s name on the date of grant of such Restricted Stock Award or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

8.2 Rights of Recipient Participants. Shares received pursuant to Restricted Stock Awards shall be duly issued or transferred to the Participant, and a certificate or certificates for such Shares shall be issued in the Participant’s name. Subject to the restrictions in Section 8.3 of the Plan, and subject further to such other restrictions or conditions established by the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, in its discretion, and set forth in the related Restricted Stock Award Agreement, the Participant shall thereupon be a shareholder with respect to all the Shares represented by such certificate or certificates and shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to such Shares, including the right to vote such Shares and to receive dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such Shares. In aid of the restrictions in Section 8.3 of the Plan and in the related Restricted Stock Award Agreement, the certificate or certificates for Shares awarded hereunder, together with a suitably executed stock power signed by such recipient Participant, shall be held by the Company in its control for the account of such Participant (i) until the restrictions in Section 8.3 of the Plan and in the related Restricted Stock Award Agreement lapse pursuant to the Plan or the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, at which time a certificate for the appropriate number of Shares (free of all restrictions imposed by the Plan or the Restricted Stock Award Agreement) shall be delivered to the Participant, or (ii) until such Shares are forfeited to the Company and cancelled as provided by the Plan or the Restricted Stock Award Agreement.

8.3 Restrictions. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, or the Committee, if one has been appointed, in its sole discretion, each Share issued pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall be subject, in addition to any other restrictions set forth in the related Restricted Stock Award Agreement, to the following restrictions until such restrictions have lapsed pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Plan or the related Restricted Stock Award Agreement:

(a) Disposition. The Shares awarded to a Participant and held by the Company pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Plan, and the right to vote such Shares or receive dividends on such Shares, may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of; provided, however, that such Shares may be transferred upon the death of the Participant to the Participant’s Successor. Any transfer or purported transfer of such Shares in violation of the restrictions outlined in this Section 8.3 shall be null and void and shall result in the forfeiture of the Shares transferred or purportedly transferred to the Company without notice and without consideration.

(b) Forfeiture. The Shares awarded to a Participant and held by the Company pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Plan shall be forfeited to the Company without notice and without consideration therefor immediately upon the termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries of the Company for any reason whatsoever.

8.4 Lapse of Restrictions. The restrictions set forth in Section 8.3 of the Plan on Shares issued under a Restricted Stock Award shall lapse on such terms as the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, in its sole discretion, shall determine and set forth in the related Restricted Stock Award Agreement, and certificates for the Shares held for the account of the Participant in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Plan hereof shall be appropriately distributed to the Participant as soon as reasonably practical thereafter.

9. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award granted hereunder shall be the date on which the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, acts in granting the Award.

10. Exercise of Rights Under Options.

10.1 Notice of Exercise. A Participant entitled to exercise an Option shall do so by delivery of a written notice to that effect specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and any other relevant information the

Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, may require. The notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price of any Shares to be purchased, which payment may be made in cash or, with the Board’s approval, or the Committee’s approval if one has been appointed (which in the case of Incentive Stock Options must be given at the time of grant), in Shares valued at Fair Market Value at the time of exercise or a combination thereof. No Shares shall be issued upon exercise of an Option until full payment has been made therefor. All notices or requests provided for herein shall be delivered to the Company’s President, or such other person as the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, may designate.

10.2 Cashless Exercise Procedures. At such time, if ever, that Shares are traded on the over-the-counter market or on any established securities market, the Company, in its sole discretion, may establish procedures whereby a Participant, subject to the requirements of Rule 16b-3, Regulation T, federal income tax laws, and other federal, state and local tax and securities laws, can exercise an Option or a portion thereof without making a direct payment of the option price to the Company; provided, however, that these cashless exercise procedures shall not apply to Incentive Stock Options which are outstanding on the date the Company establishes such procedures unless the application of such procedures to such Options is permitted pursuant to the Code and the regulations thereunder without affecting the Options’ qualification under Code Section 422 as Incentive Stock Options. If the Company so elects to establish a cashless exercise program, the Company shall determine, in its sole discretion, and from time to time, such administrative procedures and policies as it deems appropriate and such procedures and policies shall be binding on any Participant wishing to utilize the cashless exercise program.

11. Other Award Terms and Conditions. Each Award or each agreement setting forth an Award shall contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent herewith as shall be approved by the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed.

12. Rights of Award Holder. The holder of an Award shall not have any of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares subject to purchase or receipt under the Award, except that (a) an Award holder’s rights with respect to a Restricted Stock Award shall be as prescribed in Section 8.2 and (b) shareholder rights with respect to any other Award shall arise at the time and to the extent that one or more certificates for such Shares shall be delivered to the holder upon the due exercise or grant of the Award.

13. Nontransferability of Awards. An Award shall not be transferable other than: (a) by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and an Award subject to exercise may be exercised, during the lifetime of the holder of the Award, only by the holder or in the event of death, the holder’s Successor, or in the event of disability, the holder’s personal representative, or (b) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in the Code or ERISA or the rules thereunder; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may not be transferred pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order unless such transfer is otherwise permitted pursuant to the Code and the regulations thereunder without affecting the Option’s qualification under Code Section 422 as an Incentive Stock Option.

14. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization. In the event of changes in all of the outstanding Shares by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, recapitalizations, mergers, consolidations, combinations, or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations or liquidations, or similar events, or in the event of extraordinary cash or non-cash dividends being declared with respect to the Shares, or similar transactions or events, the number and class of Shares available under the Plan in the aggregate, the number and class of Shares subject to Awards theretofore granted, applicable purchase prices and all other applicable provisions, shall, subject to the provisions of the Plan, be equitably adjusted by the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed (which adjustment may, but need not, include payment to the holder of an Option, in cash or in shares, in an amount equal to the difference between the price at which such Option may be exercised and the then current fair market value of the Shares subject to such Option as equitably determined by the Board or the Committee, as the case may

be). The foregoing adjustment and the manner of application of the foregoing provisions shall be determined by the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, in its sole discretion; provided, however, that to extent applicable, any adjustment to an Incentive Stock Option shall be made in a manner consistent with Section 424 of the Code. Any such adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional share which might otherwise become subject to an Award.

15. Change in Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or any Award Agreement, in the case of a Change in Control of the Company:

(a) If the Change in Control of the Company is described in Section 2.4(d)(i) of this Plan, the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, shall use its best efforts to cause the acquiring Company to assume all outstanding Awards or to replace all outstanding Awards with comparable Awards that neither enlarge nor diminish the rights thereunder;

(b) The Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, may, in its discretion, taking into account the purposes of this Plan, determine, on a case by case basis, that each Award granted under the Plan shall, subject to the provisions in paragraphs (c) and (d) below, terminate thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Change in Control in the event of a Change in Control described in Section 2.4(a),
2.4(b) or 2.4(c) of this Plan, or upon the closing of the corporate transaction, the approval of which resulted in the Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.4(d) of this Plan;

(c) In the event of either (i) a Change in Control of the Company described in Section 2.4(d) of the Plan pursuant to which the acquiring corporation does not either assume, or issue replacement awards in lieu of, all outstanding Awards or (ii) a decision of the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, to terminate an Option as provided in Section 15(b) above, an Option holder shall have the right, commencing at least five (5) days prior to such Change in Control and subject to any other limitation on the exercise of such Option in effect on the date of exercise (and, in the case of a Change in Control described in Section 2.4(d) of this Plan, conditioned upon the closing of the

corporate transaction, the approval of which constituted such Change in Control) to immediately exercise any Options in full, without regard to any vesting limitations, to the extent they shall not have been theretofore exercised; and

(d) In the event of either (i) a Change in Control of the Company described in Section 2.4(d) of the Plan pursuant to which the acquiring corporation does not assume, or issue replacement awards in lieu of, Restricted Stock Awards or (ii) a decision of the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, to terminate a Restricted Stock Award as provided in Section 15(b) above, all restrictions on such Restricted Stock Award shall lapse immediately prior to the consummation of the corporate transaction, the approval of which resulted in a Change in Control pursuant to Section 2.4(d) of the Plan or immediately following the Board’s or Committee’s decision, as the case may be, to terminate a Restricted Stock Award pursuant to Section 15(b) hereof and certificates for the affected Shares shall be appropriately distributed.

16. Forms of Awards. Nothing contained in the Plan nor any resolution adopted or to be adopted by the Board or by the shareholders of the Company shall constitute the granting of any Award. An Award shall be granted hereunder only by action taken by the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, in granting an Award. Whenever the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, shall designate a Participant for the receipt of an Award, the Company’s Secretary, or such other person as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, may designate, shall forthwith send notice thereof to the Participant, in such form as the Board or the Committee, as the case may be, shall approve, stating the number of Shares subject to the Award, its Term, and the other terms and conditions thereof. The notice shall be accompanied by a written Award Agreement in such form as may from time to time hereafter be approved by the Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, which shall have been duly executed by or on behalf of the Company. If the surrender of previously issued Awards is made a condition of the grant, the notice shall set forth the pertinent details of such condition. Execution by the Participant to whom such Award is granted of said Award Agreement in

accordance with the provisions set forth in this Plan shall be a condition precedent to the exercise or receipt of any Award.

17. Taxes.

17.1 Right to Withhold Required Taxes. The Company shall have the right to require a person entitled to receive Shares pursuant to the receipt, vesting or exercise of an Award under the Plan to pay the Company the amount of any taxes which the Company is or will be required to withhold with respect to such Shares before the certificate for such Shares is delivered pursuant to the Award. Furthermore, the Company may elect to deduct such taxes from any other amounts then payable in cash or in shares or from any other amounts payable any time thereafter to the Participant. If the Participant disposes of Shares acquired pursuant to an Incentive Stock Option in any transaction considered to be a disqualifying disposition under Sections 421 and 422 of the Code, the Participant shall notify the Company of such transfer and the Company shall have the right to deduct any taxes required by law to be withheld from any amounts otherwise payable then or at any time thereafter to the Participant.

17.2 Participant Election to Withhold Shares. Subject to Board approval, or Committee approval if one has been appointed (which in the case of Incentive Stock Options must be given at the time of grant), a Participant may elect to satisfy the tax liability with respect to the exercise of an Option by having the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the Option; provided, however, that if a Participant is subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act at the time the Option is exercised, such election must satisfy the requirements of Rule 16b-3.

18. Termination of the Plan. The Plan shall terminate ten (10) years from the date hereof, and an Award shall not be granted under the Plan after that date although the terms of any Awards may be amended at any date prior to the end of its Term in accordance with the Plan. Any Awards outstanding at the time of termination of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect according to the terms and conditions of the Award and this Plan.

19. Amendment of the Plan. The Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Board, but no amendment without the approval of the shareholders of the Company shall be made if shareholder approval under Section 422 of the Code or, if the Company is subject to the Exchange Act at the time of such amendment, under Rule 16b-3, or Code Section 162(m) would be required. Notwithstanding the discretionary authority granted to the Board, or the Committee, if one has been appointed, in Section 4 of the Plan, no amendment of the Plan or any Award granted under the Plan shall impair any of the rights of any holder, without the holder’s consent, under any Award theretofore granted under the Plan.

20. Delivery of Shares on Exercise or Grant. Delivery of certificates for Shares pursuant to the grant or exercise of an Award may be postponed by the Company for such period as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply with any applicable requirements of any federal, state or local law or regulation or any administrative or quasi-administrative requirement applicable to the sale, issuance, distribution or delivery of such Shares. The Board, or the Committee if one has been appointed, may, in its sole discretion, require a Participant to furnish the Company with appropriate representations and a written investment letter prior to the exercise of an Award or the delivery of any Shares pursuant to an Award.

21. Fees and Costs. The Company shall pay all original issue taxes on the issuance or exercise of any Award granted under the Plan and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith.
