WHEREAS, the Company maintains the Plan for the purposes set forth therein; and
WHEREAS, the Companys Compensation Committee (the Committee), the Companys Board of Directors and the Companys stockholders previously approved, effective May 26, 2010, an amendment to the Plan to permit a one-time option exchange program that was initiated and concluded shortly thereafter; and
WHEREAS, the Committee deems it to be in the best interests of the Company and desires to amend the Plan to clarify that any subsequent exchanges or re-pricings of stock options will similarly require the approval the Companys stockholders; and

j. Modification, Extension and Assumption of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify or extend outstanding Options or may provide for the cancellation of outstanding Options in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a different Exercise Price. The foregoing notwithstanding, (i) no modification or exchange of an Option (other than pursuant to Section 8 or 10) shall, without the consent of the Participant, materially impair the Participants rights or increase the Participants obligations under such Option and (ii) no reduction in the Exercise Price of the Option, or cancellation of the Option in exchange for the issuance of a new Option with a lower Exercise Price, (other than pursuant to Section 8 or 10) shall be effected without the prior approval of the Companys stockholders.
