However, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted with a Base Price lower than that set forth in the preceding sentence if such Stock Appreciation Right is granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another stock appreciation right in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 409A of the Code.

8.4Term and Termination of Stock Appreciation Rights. The term and provisions for termination of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be as fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Appreciation Right may be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date it is granted.

8.5Vesting and Exercise of Stock Appreciation Rights. Each Stock Appreciation Right shall vest and become exercisable in one or more installments at such time or times and subject to such conditions, including without limitation the achievement of specified performance goals or objectives as shall be determined by the Administrator.

8.6Amount, Form and Timing of Settlement. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant who holds such Stock Appreciation Right will be entitled to receive payment from the Company in an amount equal to the product of (a) the difference between the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the Base Price per share of Common Stock covered by such Stock Appreciation Right and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which such Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised. Payment in respect thereof will be made no later than thirty (30) days after such exercise, provided that such payment will be made in a manner such that no amount of compensation will be treated as deferred under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A‑1(b)(5)(i)(D). Such payment may, in the discretion of the Administrator, be in cash, shares of Common Stock of equivalent Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise, or a combination of both, except as specifically provided in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement.

8.7Rights as a Stockholder. Holders of Stock Appreciation Rights shall have no rights or privileges as a stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock covered thereby unless and until they become owners of shares of Common Stock following settlement in respect of such Stock Appreciation Rights, in whole or in part, in shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the terms, restrictions and conditions set forth in the relevant Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement.

8.8Restrictions. Stock Appreciation Rights may not be sold, pledged, or otherwise encumbered or disposed of and shall not be assignable or transferable except by will, the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order entered by a court in settlement of marital property rights, except as specifically provided in the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement or as authorized by the Administrator.

8.9Unvested Shares. The Administrator shall have the discretion to grant Stock Appreciation Rights that may be exercised or settled for unvested shares of Common Stock on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall determine from time to time.

8.10Compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 8 to the contrary, all award of Stock Appreciation Rights are intended to be structured to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A, or an applicable exemption, as determined by the Administrator.

9.1Administrator. Authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan shall be vested in the Board, which may delegate such responsibilities in whole or in part to the Committee. Each of the members shall meet the independence requirements under the then applicable rules, regulations or listing requirements adopted by The Nasdaq Stock Market or the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading. Members of the Committee may be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board. The Board may limit the composition of the Committee to those persons necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As used herein, the term “Administrator” means the Board or, with respect to any matter as to which responsibility has been delegated to the Committee, the term Administrator shall mean the Committee.

9.2Delegation of Authority. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Board or Committee may from time to time delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the Company or to such other person or body as it deems appropriate the authority to grant or amend Awards or to take other administrative actions pursuant to this Article 9; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company or other person or body as referenced herein be delegated the authority to grant Awards to, or amend Awards held by: (a) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (b) officers of the Company (or Directors) or other persons or bodies to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder; provided, further, that any delegation of administrative authority shall only be permitted to the extent it is permissible under Applicable Law. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Board may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee. At all times, the delegatee appointed under this Section 9.2 shall serve in such capacity at the pleasure of the Board and the Committee.

9.3Powers of the Administrator. In addition to any other powers or authority conferred upon the Administrator elsewhere in this Plan or by law, the Administrator shall have full power and authority: (a) to determine the persons to whom, and the time or times at which, Incentive Options, Nonqualified Options, Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock or Stock Appreciation Rights shall be granted, the number of shares to be represented by each Award Agreement, and the Exercise Price of such Options, the Purchase Price of the Restricted Stock and the Base Price of such Stock Appreciation Rights; (b) to interpret the Plan; (c) to create, amend or rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; (d) to determine the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in, and the form of, Award Agreements; (e) to determine the identity or capacity of any persons who may be entitled to exercise a Participant’s rights under any Option Agreement, Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, Restricted Stock Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right Agreement under the Plan; (f) to correct any defect or supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award Agreement; (g) to accelerate the vesting of any Award; (h) to extend the expiration date of any Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right Agreement; (i) to amend outstanding Award Agreements to provide for, among other things, any change or modification which the Administrator could have included in the original agreement or in furtherance of the powers provided for herein; and (j) to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan, but only to the extent not contrary to the express provisions of this Plan. Any action, decision, interpretation, or determination made in good faith by the Administrator in the exercise of its authority conferred upon it under this Plan shall be final and binding on the Company and all Participants. Notwithstanding any term or provision in this Plan, the Administrator shall not have the power or authority, by amendment or otherwise to extend the expiration date of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right beyond the original expiration date of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

9.4Repricing Prohibited. Subject to Section 4.2, and except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, or exchange of shares), neither the Committee nor the Board shall amend the terms of outstanding Awards to reduce the Exercise Price of outstanding Options or the Base Price of outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, Options with an Exercise Price that is less than the Exercise Price of the original Options, or Stock Appreciation Rights with a Base Price that is less than the Base Price of the original Stock Appreciation Rights, in each case without approval of the Company’s stockholders, evidenced by a majority of votes cast.

9.5Limitation on Liability. No employee of the Company or member of the Board or Committee shall be subject to any liability with respect to duties under the Plan unless the person acts fraudulently or in bad faith. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each member of the Board or Committee, and any employee of the Company with duties under the Plan, who was or is a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of such person’s conduct in the performance of duties under the Plan.

9.6No Dividends on Unvested Awards. The Administrator may not provide for the current payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to any shares of Common Stock subject to an outstanding Award granted under the Plan (or portion thereof) that has not vested. For any such Award, the Administrator may provide only for the accrual of dividends or dividend equivalents that will not be payable to the Participant unless and until, and only to the extent that, such Award vests. No dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid on Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

10.1Clawback/Recovery. All Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, or any shares of Common Stock or cash issued or awarded pursuant to the exercise of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights, and all Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback or recovery policy that the Company adopts pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Company’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other Applicable Law. In addition, the Administrator may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Administrator determines necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired shares of Common Stock or other cash or property upon the occurrence of an event constituting Cause. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company.

10.2Termination for Cause. Except as explicitly provided otherwise in a Participant’s Stock Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right Agreement or other individual written agreement between the Company or any Affiliated Company and the Participant, if a Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for Cause, the Option or SAR will terminate immediately upon such Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, and the Participant will be prohibited from exercising his or her Option or SAR from and after the date of such termination of Continuous Service. “Cause” will have the meaning ascribed to such term in any written agreement between the Participant and the Company defining such term and, in the absence of such agreement, shall mean Cause as defined in this Plan. The determination that a termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service is either for Cause or without Cause will be made by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Any determination by the Administrator that the Continuous Service of a Participant was terminated with or without Cause for the purposes of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights held by such Participant will have no effect upon any determination of the rights or obligations of the Company or such Participant for any other purpose.

(a)If the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right following the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service (other than for Cause and other than upon the Participant’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares of Common Stock would violate the Securities Act, then the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a total period of time (that need not be consecutive) equal to the applicable post termination exercise period after the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service (as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement) as extended for any period of time during which the exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right would violate the Securities Act, and (ii) the final expiration of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right Agreement.

(b)Unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, if the sale of any Common Stock received on exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right following the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service (other than for Cause) would violate the Company’s Insider Trading Policy (assuming, for this purpose, that Participant’s Continuous Service had not terminated and thus the provisions of the Insider Trading Policy continued to apply to Participant), then the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of a period of time (that need not be consecutive) equal to the applicable post-termination exercise period after the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service (as set forth in the applicable Award Agreement) as extended for any period of time during which the sale of the Common Stock received upon exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right would violate the Insider Trading Policy (assuming, for this purpose, that Participant’s Continuous Service had not terminated and thus the provisions of the Insider Trading Policy continued to apply to Participant) if, and only if, such violation of the Insider Trading Policy arose during the unmodified post-termination exercise period, or (ii) the final expiration of the term of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right as set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right Agreement.

11.1Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. In order to preserve a Participant’s rights with respect to any outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in the event of a Change in Control of the Company:

(a)Vesting of all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall accelerate automatically effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control unless the Options or Stock Appreciation Rights are to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or new options, stock appreciation rights or New Incentives are to be issued in exchange therefor, as provided in subsection (b) below.

(b)Vesting of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights shall not accelerate if and to the extent that: (i) the Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (including the unvested portion thereof) are to be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or new options or stock appreciation rights of comparable value and containing such terms and provisions as the Administrator in its discretion may consider equitable are to be issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction, or (ii) the Options or Stock Appreciation Rights (including the unvested portion thereof) are to be replaced by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) with other incentives of comparable value containing such terms and provisions as the Administrator in its discretion may consider equitable under a new incentive program (“New Incentives”). If outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights are assumed, or if new options or stock appreciation rights of comparable value are issued in exchange therefor, then each such Option, new option, Stock Appreciation Right or new stock appreciation right shall be appropriately adjusted, concurrently with the Change in Control, to apply to the number and class of securities or other property that the Participant would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the shares that would have been issued upon exercise of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right had the Option or Stock Appreciation Right been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control and, with respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, payments in respect of such Stock Appreciation Right been made in shares, and appropriate adjustment also shall be made to the Exercise Price or Base Price such that the aggregate Exercise Price of each such Option or new option or Base Price of each Stock Appreciation Right or new stock appreciation right shall remain the same as nearly as practicable and in a manner satisfying the provisions of Sections 409A and 424 of the Code.

(c)If any Option or Stock Appreciation Right is assumed by an acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) or a new option or stock appreciation right of comparable value or New Incentive is issued in exchange therefor pursuant to the terms of a Change in Control transaction, then, if so provided in an Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right Agreement, the vesting of the Option, new option, Stock Appreciation Right, new stock appreciation right or New Incentive shall accelerate if and at such time as the Participant’s service as an employee, director, officer, consultant or other Service Provider to the acquiring or successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof) is terminated involuntarily or voluntarily under certain circumstances within a specified period following consummation of the Change in Control, pursuant to such terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the Option Agreement or Stock Appreciation Right Agreement.

(d)If vesting of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will accelerate pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of each Option or Stock Appreciation Right for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to (i) with respect to each Option, the amount (or “spread”) by which, (x) the value of the cash or other property that the Optionee would have received pursuant to the Change in Control transaction in exchange for the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option had the Option been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control, exceeds (y) the Exercise Price of the Option, and (ii) with respect to each Stock Appreciation Right, the value of the cash or other property that the Participant would have received had the Stock Appreciation Right been exercised immediately prior to the Change in Control.

(e)The Administrator shall have the discretion to provide in each Option Agreement and Stock Appreciation Right Agreement other terms and conditions that relate to (i) vesting of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right in the event of a Change in Control and (ii) assumption of such Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or issuance of comparable securities or New Incentives in the event of a Change in Control. The aforementioned terms and conditions may vary in each Option Agreement and Stock Appreciation Right Agreement and may be different from and have precedence over the provisions set forth in Sections 11.1(a) - 11.1(d) above.

(f)Outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall terminate and cease to be exercisable upon consummation of a Change in Control except to the extent that the Options or Stock Appreciation Rights are assumed by the successor entity (or parent thereof) pursuant to the terms of the Change in Control transaction.

(g)If outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights will not be assumed by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof), the Administrator shall cause written notice of a proposed Change in Control transaction to be given to the Participants who hold Options and Stock Appreciation Rights not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the proposed transaction.

11.2Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock. In order to preserve a Participant’s rights with respect to any outstanding Restricted Stock Units or Restricted Stock in the event of a Change in Control of the Company:

(a)All Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock shall vest in full effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, except to the extent that in connection with such Change in Control, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) provides for the continuance or assumption of Restricted Stock Unit Agreements or Restricted Stock Agreements or the substitution of new agreements of comparable value covering shares of a successor corporation, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares.

(b)The Administrator in its discretion may provide in any Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement that if, upon a Change in Control, the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof) assumes such Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement or substitutes new agreements of comparable value and containing such terms and provisions as the Administrator in its discretion may consider equitable covering shares of a successor corporation (with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares), then the Restricted Stock Units or Restricted Stock or any substituted shares covered thereby shall immediately vest in full, if the Participant’s service as an employee, director, officer, consultant or other Service Provider to the acquiring or successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof) is terminated involuntarily or voluntarily under certain circumstances within a specified period following consummation of a Change in Control, pursuant to such terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement.

(c)If vesting of outstanding Restricted Stock Units or Restricted Stock will accelerate pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrator in its discretion may provide, in connection with the Change in Control transaction, for the purchase or exchange of each Restricted Stock Unit or Restricted Stock for an amount of cash or other property having a value equal to the value of the cash or other property that the Participant would have received had the Restricted Stock vested immediately prior to the Change in Control.

(d)The Administrator shall have the discretion to provide in each Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement other terms and conditions that relate to (i) vesting of such Restricted Stock Units or Restricted Stock in the event of a Change in Control and (ii) assumption of such Restricted Stock Unit Agreements or Restricted Stock Agreements or issuance of substitute new agreements of comparable value in the event of a Change in Control. The aforementioned terms and conditions may vary in each Restricted Stock Unit Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement and may be different from and have precedence over the provisions set forth in Sections 11.2(a) - 11.2(c) above.

11.3Dissolution or Liquidation. Except as otherwise provided in an Award Agreement, in the event of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, all outstanding Awards will terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and the shares of Common Stock subject to the Company’s repurchase rights or subject to a forfeiture condition under an award of Restricted Stock or pursuant to early exercise of an Option, may be repurchased or reacquired by the Company notwithstanding the fact that the holder of such Award is providing Continuous Service; provided, however, that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all Awards to become fully vested, exercisable and/or no longer subject to repurchase or forfeiture (to the extent such Awards have not previously expired or terminated) before the dissolution, liquidation or winding up is completed but contingent on its completion.

12.1Amendments. The Board may from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate this Plan in such respects as the Board may deem advisable. No such alteration, amendment, suspension, or termination shall be made which shall substantially affect or impair the rights of any Participant under an outstanding Award Agreement without such Participant’s consent. The Board may alter or amend the Plan to comply with requirements under the Code relating to Incentive Options or other types of options which give Optionees more favorable tax treatment than that applicable to Options granted under this Plan as of the Effective Date. Upon any such alteration or amendment, any outstanding Option granted hereunder may, if the Administrator so determines and if permitted by Applicable Law, be subject to the more favorable tax treatment afforded to an Optionee pursuant to such terms and conditions. The Board may also adopt amendments of the Plan relating to certain nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and/or ensuring the Plan or any Awards granted under the Plan are exempt from, or compliant with, the requirements for nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, subject to the limitations, if any, of Applicable Law.

12.2Foreign Participants. The Board may from time to time adopt such procedures, terms and conditions and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to facilitate participation in the Plan by Service Providers who are foreign nationals or employed or providing services outside the United States (provided that Board approval will not be necessary for immaterial modifications to the Plan or any Award Agreements that are required or advisable for compliance with the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction).

12.3Plan Termination. Unless this Plan shall theretofore have been terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date and no Awards may be granted under the Plan thereafter, but Award Agreements then outstanding shall continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms.

13.1Withholding. The Company or any Affiliated Company, as applicable, shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or to require a Participant to remit to the Company or one or more of its Affiliated Companies, the amount of any Tax-Related Items concerning a Participant arising as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan or to take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Company or an Affiliated Company, as applicable, to satisfy such Tax-Related Items. The Company may defer making payment of an Award if any such Tax-Related Items may be pending unless and until indemnified to its satisfaction, and neither the Company nor any Affiliated Company shall have any liability to any Participant for exercising the foregoing right. The Committee may, in its sole discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt, permit or require a Participant to pay all or a portion of the Tax-Related Items arising in connection with an Award by, one or a combination of the following: (a) having the Participant pay an amount in cash (by check or wire transfer), (b) having the Company or Affiliated Company withhold from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation; (c) having the Company withholding from the proceeds of the sale of shares of Common Stock underlying an Award, either through a voluntary sale or a mandatory sale arranged by the Company on the Participant’s behalf, without need of further authorization; (d) having the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under an Award (or allowing the return of shares of Common Stock) sufficient, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, to satisfy such Tax-Related Items; (e) having the Participant deliver shares of Common Stock (which are not subject to any pledge or other security interest) that have been both held by the Participant and vested for at least six (6) months (or such other period as established from time to time by the Company to avoid adverse accounting treatment under applicable accounting standards) sufficient, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion, to satisfy such Tax-Related Items; (f) requiring the Participant to repay the Company or Affiliated Company, as applicable, in cash or in shares of Common Stock, for Tax-Related Items paid on the Participant’s behalf, or (vii) any other method of withholding determined by the Committee that is permissible under Applicable Laws.

13.2Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Options, Restricted Stock Units, Restricted Stock and Stock Appreciation Rights will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Section 409A of the Code such that the grant, payment, settlement, or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the Code, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or grant, payment, settlement, or deferral thereof is subject to Section 409A of the Code such Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral thereof will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the generality of the preceding sentence, to the extent any grant, payment, settlement or deferral of an Award subject to Section 409A is subject to the requirement under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code that such grant, payment, settlement or deferral be delayed until six (6) months after Participant’s separation from service if Participant is a specified employee within the meaning of the aforesaid section of the Code at the time of such separation from service, then such grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be made before the date which is six (6) months after the date of such separation from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of such Participant).

13.3No Representations or Covenants with respect to Tax Qualification. Although the Company may endeavor to (a) qualify an Award under the Plan for favorable or specific tax treatment under the laws of the United States or jurisdictions outside of the United States or (b) avoid adverse tax treatment, the Company makes no representation to that effect and expressly disavows any covenant to maintain favorable or avoid unfavorable tax treatment, anything to the contrary in this Plan, including Section 13.2 hereof, notwithstanding. The Company shall be unconstrained in its corporate activities without regard to the potential negative tax impact on holders of Awards under the Plan. Nothing in this Plan or in an Award Agreement shall provide a basis for any person to take any action against the Company or any Affiliated Company based on matters covered by Section 409A of the Code, including the tax treatment of any Awards, and neither the Company nor any Affiliated Company will have any liability under any circumstances to the Participant or any other party if the Award that is intended to be exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A of the Code, is not so exempt or compliant or for any action taken by the Administrator with respect thereto.

14.1Benefits Not Alienable. Other than as provided above, benefits under this Plan may not be assigned or alienated, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. Any unauthorized attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge, or other disposition shall be without effect.

14.2No Enlargement of Employee Rights. This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company and any Participant to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of, the employment of any Participant. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give the right to any Participant to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Affiliated Company or to interfere with the right of the Company or any Affiliated Company to discharge any Participant at any time. The Company will have no duty or obligation to any Participant to advise such holder as to the time or manner of exercising any right under any outstanding Awards under the Plan. Furthermore, the Company will have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of an Option or any other form of Award under the Plan or a possible period in which such Option or other Award may not be exercised. The Company has no duty or obligation to reduce the tax consequences of any Award granted to a Participant under the Plan.

14.3Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of shares of Common Stock and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all Applicable Law (including but not limited to state,

federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements), and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all Applicable Law. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to Applicable Law.

14.4Fractional Shares. Unless the Administrator otherwise determines, no fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued and the Administrator, in its discretion, shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding down.

14.5Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Option Agreements or Restricted Stock Agreements, except as otherwise provided herein, will be used for general corporate purposes.

14.6Governing Law. The Plan and any Agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted, and enforced under the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof or of any other jurisdiction.

14.7Annual Reports. During the term of this Plan, the Company will furnish to each Participant who does not otherwise receive such materials, copies of all reports, proxy statements and other communications that the Company distributes generally to its stockholders or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.

14.8Stockholder Approval. This Plan shall be effective as of the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

14.9Electronic Delivery. Any reference herein to a “written” agreement or document shall include any agreement or document delivered electronically or posted on the Company’s intranet.
