CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this Form 10-Q other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in this Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to these forward-looking statements, except as required by law. Given these risks and uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Unless expressly indicated or the context requires otherwise, “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “TOMI” refer to TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

TOMI ENVIRONMENTAL SOLUTIONS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

TOMI is a leading provider of infection prevention and decontamination products and services, focused primarily on life sciences including healthcare, bio-safety, pharmaceutical, clean-room and research. Our mission is to help our customers create a healthier world thru TOMI’s product line. TOMI’s motto is “innovating for a safer world” for healthcare and life.

As a global decontamination and infectious disease control company, TOMI provides environmental solutions for indoor and outdoor surface decontamination through the sale of equipment, services and licensing of our SteraMist TM Binary Ionization Technology® (“BIT TM ”) which is a hydrogen peroxide based mist and fog registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”).


NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and stated in U.S. dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2015 and notes thereto which are included in the Form 10-K previously filed with the SEC on March 30, 2016. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TOMI, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., a Nevada Corporation.  The Company’s 55% owned subsidiary, TOMI Environmental-China, has been dormant since its formation in April 2011. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassification of Accounts

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year comparative financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or financial position.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the accounts receivable, fair values of financial instruments, intangible assets, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, fair values of stock-based awards, income taxes, and contingent liabilities, among others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of our assets and liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:

Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2:
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
   
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses.  All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable
 
Our accounts receivable are typically from credit worthy customers or, for certain international customers, are supported by pre-payments. For those customers to whom we extend credit, we perform periodic evaluations of them and maintain allowances for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.  We have a policy of reserving for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of potential credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.  Bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $30,000 and $482, respectively.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $75,000 and $45,000, respectively.
 
As of March 31, 2016, one customer accounted for 13% of net accounts receivable.  Two customers accounted for 52% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016

As of December 31, 2015 three customers accounted for 42% of net accounts receivable. Three customers accounted for 70% of net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2015

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.  Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and raw materials.  At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we did not have a reserve for slow-moving or obsolete inventory.
 
 
10

 
 
Deposits on Merchandise

Deposits on merchandise primarily consist of amounts incurred or paid in advance of the receipt of inventory. (See note 11)
 
Property and Equipment
 
We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use.  Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.
 
Deferred Financing Costs

The Company follows authoritative guidance for accounting for financing costs as it relates to convertible debt issuance cost.  These costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt period or until redemption of the convertible debentures.  Amortization of deferred financing costs amounted to approximately $0 and $84,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Accounts Payable
 
As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, one vendor accounted for approximately 83% and 72% of total accounts payable, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, one vendor accounted for 77% and 87% of cost of goods sold, respectively.

Accrued Warranties
 
Accrued warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be incurred during the warranty period of our products. We make an estimate of expected costs that will be incurred by us during the warranty period and charge that expense to the consolidated statement of operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturer assumes warranty against product defects for one year which we extend to our customers.  We assume responsibility for product reliability and results. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not establish a reserve.
 
Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized; in accordance with ASC guidance for income taxes. Net deferred tax benefits have been fully reserved at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented.  Diluted loss per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants and conversions of debentures.

Potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2016, consisted of 36,026,413 shares of common stock from outstanding warrants, 200,000 shares of common stock from options and 510,000 shares of common stock from convertible Series A preferred stock.  Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.

Potentially dilutive securities as of March 31, 2015, consisted of 17,496,552 shares of common stock from convertible debentures, 32,451,413 shares of common stock from outstanding warrants (including warrants to purchase up to 7,611,000 shares of common stock issued in conjunction with convertible notes), 100,000 shares of common stock from options and 510,000 shares of common stock from convertible Series A preferred stock.  Diluted and basic weighted average shares are the same, as potentially dilutive shares are anti-dilutive.

Revenue Recognition

For revenue from services and product sales, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (SAB No. 104), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB No. 101). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) service has been rendered or delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services rendered or products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts to customers, and allowance, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
 
Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), ASC 718, Compensation- “Stock Compensation.” Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company had one active stock-based compensation plan, the TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “2008 Plan”). The 2008 Plan calls for the Company, through a committee of its board of directors, to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock or stock options. The Company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants, and board members. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of its common stock on the date of the grant with a term no greater than 10 years. Generally, stock options vest over two to four years. Incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding equity securities are granted at an exercise price that may not be less than 110% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and have a term no greater than five years. On the date of a grant, the Company determines the fair value of the stock option award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. On August 25, 2015, the 2008 Plan was terminated.

On January 29, 2016, the board of directors adopted the 2016 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) subject to its approval by stockholders.  The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units / shares.  Up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan.  Shares issued under the 2016 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or any combination thereof.  Provisions in the 2016 Plan permit the reuse or reissuance by the 2016 Plan of shares of common stock for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, shares of common stock underlying canceled, expired, or forfeited awards of stock-based compensation and stock appreciation rights paid out in the form of cash.  Stock-based compensation will typically be awarded in consideration for the future performance of services to the Company.  All recipients of awards under the 2016 Plan are required to enter into award agreements with the Company at the time of the award; awards under the 2016 Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were 100,000 stock options issued out of the plan.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents.  The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit of $250,000 at times during the year.

Long-Lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets

The Company assesses long-lived assets for potential impairments at the end of each year, or during the year if an event or other circumstance indicates that we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of the asset. In evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, the Company measures recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate.  If the Company’s long-lived assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value. The Company bases its calculations of the estimated fair value of its long-lived assets on the income approach. For the income approach, the Company uses an internally developed discounted cash flow model that include, among others, the following assumptions: projections of revenues and expenses and related cash flows based on assumed long-term growth rates and demand trends; expected future investments to grow new units; and estimated discount rates. We base these assumptions on our historical data and experience, industry projections, micro and macro general economic condition projections, and our expectations. We have had no long-lived asset impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015

The Company includes shipping and handling costs relating to the delivery of products directly from vendors to the Company in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs, which include third-party delivery costs relating to the delivery of products from the Company to customers, are classified as a general and administrative expense. Shipping and handling costs included in general and administrative expense were $29,000 and $7,000 for the three months ended March, 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”  ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflect the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.  Early adoption is not permitted.  We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17), which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current. We retrospectively adopted this standard as of December 31, 2015.  As a result, there was no impact to the Company’s results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02) “Leases.”  ASU 2016-02 provides new lease accounting guidance.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after   December 15, 2018 , including interim periods within that reporting period.  Early adoption is permitted.  We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6. CONVERTIBLE DEBT
 
In November 2012, the Company initiated a private placement offering a maximum of 240 Units (as defined below) of the Company’s securities at a price of $25,000 per Unit or $6,000,000. The initial closing of the offering occurred in April 2013 as the bulk of the net proceeds of the offering were to be allocated for the asset purchase from L-3 Applied Technologies, Inc., which was finalized April 2013.   Each Unit consisted of $25,000 par amount of a 10% Senior Secured Callable Convertible Promissory Note due and payable on July 31, 2015 (the “Notes”) and 37,500 warrants each of which allows the investor to purchase one share of common stock and expires on July 31, 2018.  Interest was payable on the Notes at a rate of 10% per annum, and payable on July 31 st and January 31 st .   The Notes were secured by the Company’s intellectual property such as the patents, royalties, receivables of the Company and all equipment except for the new equipment acquired with the proceeds from any future financing that is initially secured by this new equipment.  The Notes called for the establishment of a sinking fund.  Within 45 days of each calendar quarter 15% of the Company’s reported revenue was required to be deposited into the Company’s escrowed sinking fund account.

The Company sold 202.96 Units for gross proceeds of $5,074,000 and issued warrants to purchase up to 7,611,000 shares of common stock in connection with the Units.  Net proceeds amounted to $4,462,693 after expenses of offering totaling $611,307.  In addition, the placement agent received warrants to purchase up to 1,014,800 shares of common stock valued at $165,180.

The Notes were convertible, at the option of the note holder, into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $.29 (which conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of events specified in the Notes, including stock dividends, stock splits, certain fundamental corporate transactions, and certain issuances of common stock by the Company).

The warrants are exercisable into shares of common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) at an initial exercise price of $0.30 (which may be subject to certain adjustments as set forth in the warrants). 

The Company evaluated the warrants under ASC 815-40-15 due to the exercise price being adjustable upon certain events occurring.  The Company determined that the warrants are considered indexed to the Company’s own common stock and thus meet the scope exception under FASB ASC 815-10-15-74 and are therefore not considered a derivative.  The estimated fair value of the warrants, which contain reset provisions, were calculated using the Monte Carlo valuation model.   The Company recorded the warrants’ relative fair value of $956,712 as an increase to additional paid in capital and a discount against the related debt.

The Notes contained a provision whereby the conversion price is adjustable upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of common stock or common stock equivalents at a price which is lower than the current conversion price. Under FASB ASC 815-40-15-5, the embedded conversion feature was not considered indexed to the Company’s own common stock and, therefore, did not meet the scope exception in FASB ASC 815-10-15 and thus needed to be accounted for as a derivative liability.  The initial fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated at $7,316,092 and recorded as a derivative liability, resulting in an additional discount of $4,117,288 to the Notes and a finance charge of $3,198,804 included in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.  The fair value of the embedded conversion feature was estimated at the end of each quarterly reporting period using the Monte Carlo model.

Inherent in the Monte Carlo Valuation model are assumptions related to expected volatility, remaining life, risk-free rate and expected dividend yield.  For the Notes using a Monte Carlo model, we estimate the probability and timing of potential future financing and fundamental transactions as applicable.  The Company applied various assumptions into the Monte Carlo Valuation models to determine the change in the fair value of the derivative liability as of the retirement dates of the Notes.

The debt discount was amortized over the life of the convertible note using the effective interest method and was fully amortized upon the retirement of the convertible notes during the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

In June 2015, the Company offered the noteholders options to convert to cash or at a reduced conversion price on the Notes from $.29 per share provided the conversion feature was exercised prior to June 30, 2015.  If the noteholder agreed to lock up the converted shares for six (6) months or an uplist to a market on the NYSE or NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC, whichever is shorter, the conversion price was reduced to $.26 per share. Absent the lock up, the noteholder could convert at $.275 per share. All noteholders except two converted at $.26.  Pursuant to the terms of the conversion offer, an aggregate of $3,774,000 of the Notes and $124,000 of accrued interest were converted into 14,913,968 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company recognized an induced conversion cost of $930,383 related to all conversions and retirements.

In addition, during the quarter ended June 30, 2015, an aggregate of $1,300,000 of the Notes and $87,500 in accrued interest were repaid in the form of cash.

NOTE 7. FAIR VALUE

           Level 3 financial instruments consist of certain embedded conversion features. The fair value of these embedded conversion features that have exercise reset features are estimated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements.” (See note 6) The unobservable input used by the Company was the estimation of the likelihood of a reset occurring on the embedded conversion feature of the Convertible Notes.  These estimates of the likelihood of completing an equity raise that would meet the criteria to trigger the reset provisions are based on numerous factors, including the remaining term of the financial instruments and the Company’s overall financial condition.

The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments for the period ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Upon the retirement of the Notes in June 2015, the fair value of the derivative liability was $0.

Changes in the unobservable input values would likely cause material changes in the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial instruments. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the estimation of the likelihood of the occurrence of a change to the conversion price based on the contractual terms of the financial instruments. A significant increase (decrease) in this likelihood would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement.  As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balance of derivative liability was $0 as the Notes were retired during the second quarter of 2015.
 
NOTE 8. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company’s board of directors may, without further action by the Company’s stockholders, from time to time, direct the issuance of any authorized but unissued or unreserved shares of preferred stock in series and at the time of issuance, determine the rights, preferences and limitations of each series. The holders of such preferred stock may be entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company before any payment is made to the holders of our common stock. Furthermore, the board of directors could issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock.

In addition to our historical condensed consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs.

Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, particularly in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”

Overview

TOMI is a leading provider of infection prevention and decontamination products and services, focused primarily on life sciences including healthcare, bio-safety, pharmaceutical, clean-room and research. Our mission is to help our customers create a healthier world thru TOMI’s product line. TOMI’s motto is “innovating for a safer world” for healthcare and life.
 
We are a global decontamination and infectious disease control company, providing environmental solutions for indoor and outdoor surface decontamination through the sale of equipment, services and licensing of our SteraMist TM Binary Ionization Technology® (“BIT™”) hydrogen peroxide based mist and fogs.

During August 2010, TOMI entered into negotiations with BIT Technology a division of L-3 Applied Technologies, Inc. (“L-3”), and we began to develop applications for and distribution of the SteraMist TM equipment that currently accounts for nearly all of our revenue.  In April 2013, we completed the acquisition of certain assets from L-3 for $3,510,000. At that moment our business model consisting of the production of activated ionized hydrogen peroxide and the transformation into TOMI’s reactive oxygen species began as we reengineered the prototypes into TOMI’s, Binary Ionization Technology® (BIT™), branded as SteraMist™, technology that is a direct offspring of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (“DARPA”).  DARPA is an advanced technology incubator, which has given birth to many game changing technologies, such as stealth fighters, M16 assault rifles, and the Internet. BIT™ is a technology with a strong foundation.

Brought to the commercial market in June 2013, TOMI’s current suite of products incorporates BIT™ Solution and applicators including the SteraMist™ Surface Unit and the SteraMist™ Environment System. Current SteraMist™ BIT™ Technology has expanded beyond chemical and biological warfare applications to deactivate problem microorganisms (including spores) in a wide variety of commercial settings. SteraMist™ BIT™ provides fast acting biological deactivation and works in even the most hard-to-reach areas while leaving no residue or noxious fumes. The by-products of the AIHP are oxygen and water (humidity).

TOMI currently targets domestic and international markets for the control of microorganisms and the decontamination of large and small indoor space for biological pathogens and chemical agents including infectious diseases in hospital, bio-secure labs, pharmaceutical, biodefense, biosafety including isolation and transfer chambers, tissue banks, food safety and many other commercial and residential settings.

In June 2015, SteraMist™ BIT™ was registered with the EPA as a hospital-healthcare disinfectant for use as a misting/fogging agent. The EPA registered solution and equipment combination provides the unique technology of converting a low percentage hydrogen peroxide into an activated ionized hydrogen peroxide consisting mostly of hydroxyl radicals for Hospital-Healthcare disinfecting and general disinfecting (EPA Registration 90150-2) . SteraMist™ BIT™ also holds a second EPA registration for mold control and air & surface remediation (EPA Registration 90150-1).  In February 2016, the Company expanded its label with the EPA to include the bacteria’s C. diff and MRSA and the virus H1N1 which have better positioned the Company to penetrate the hospital-healthcare and other industries.

In June and July 2015, the Company received an $8,000,000 equity investment from Arise Asset Management Pte Ltd in exchange for approximately 17,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Also, in June 2015, the Company retired approximately $5,100,000 in convertible debt.  With the $8,000,000 investment received and the retirement of the convertible debt, the Company strengthened its balance sheet, added liquidity and working capital.

In 2015, the Company launched the TOMI Service Network (“TSN”).  This allowed the Company to enhance its service division by creating a national service network composed of existing full service restoration industry specialists.  Since the launch of the TSN, the Company has recruited and entered into licensing agreements with 45 geographically and strategically placed companies that will become network hubs to take advantage of the of the Company’s SteraMist TM platform of products and assist as service providers for the Company’s domestic and international client base and provide regional, national, and international large event mobilization response.  In the first quarter of 2016, the Company hired a President and Director of Network Recruitment for the TSN which has contributed to the growth of the TSN in 2016.

In February 2016, the Company appointed Robert Wotczak as President to strengthen the executive team and help accelerate the Company’s corporate goals.  In addition, the Company added three new independent members to the Company’s board of directors to support the growth of the Company.

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company expanded its internal sales force by hiring a Vice President of Sales and Internal Sales Director devoted to domestic Hospital-Healthcare industries.  These key additions to the TOMI team have positioned the Company to increase its presence in the Hospital-Healthcare markets.

During 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, the Company continued to expand its global presence through the shipments of goods into Asia, Europe, Mexico and South America.  In February 2016, the Company entered into a distributor agreement with TOMI Asia to facilitate growth in the Asian region.
 
In May 2015, the Company was awarded a grant by the United States Agency for International Development (“USAID”) in the amount of $559,000 for the development of SteraMist TM Mobile Decontamination Chambers to fight the Ebola epidemic.  The grant is based on milestones set forth on the agreement between the Company and USAID.  As of March 31, 2016, the Company met the first five milestones and received gross proceeds from the grant in the amount of $537,272.  The Company met the sixth and final milestone in May 2016, which completed the USAID Grant

The Company’s net revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was approximately $1,707,000 compared to $676,000 for the same period in 2015, representing an increase of 152%.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The estimation process requires assumptions to be made about future events and conditions, and as such, is inherently subjective and uncertain. Actual results could differ materially from our estimates.

The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management’s view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and most demanding of our judgment.  We consider the following policies to be critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and the uncertainties associated with the complex judgments made by us that could impact our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

 For revenue from services and product sales, the Company recognized revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (SAB No. 104), which superseded Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (SAB No. 101). SAB No. 104 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) service has been rendered or delivery has occurred; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.  Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgment regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the services rendered or products delivered and the collectability of those amounts.  Provisions for discounts to customers, and allowance, and other adjustments will be provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Fair Value Measurement

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv)willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value, which are the following:

Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
   
Level 2:
Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
   
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities.
 
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses.  All these items were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements.

The carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand held at financial institutions and other liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable
 
Our accounts receivable are typically from credit worthy customers or, for certain international customers are supported by pre-payments. For those customers to whom we extend credit, we perform periodic evaluations of them and maintain allowances for potential credit losses as deemed necessary.  We have a policy of reserving for doubtful accounts based on our best estimate of the amount of potential credit losses in existing accounts receivable. We periodically review our accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the realization of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.  Bad debt expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $30,000 and $482, respectively.

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $75,000 and $45,000, respectively. 
 
As of March 31, 2016, one customer accounted for 13% of net accounts receivable.  Two customers accounted for 52% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

As of December 31, 2015, three customers accounted for 42% of net accounts receivable. Three customers accounted for 70% of net revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.  

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.  Inventories consist primarily of finished goods and raw materials.  At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we did not have a reserve for slow-moving or obsolete inventory.

Deposits on Merchandise
 
Deposits on merchandise primarily consist of amounts incurred or paid in advance of the receipt of inventory.

Property and Equipment

We account for property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. Depreciation for equipment, furniture and fixtures and vehicles commences once placed in service for its intended use.  Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company follows authoritative guidance for accounting for financing costs as it relates to convertible debt issuance cost.  These costs are deferred and amortized over the term of the debt period or until redemption of the convertible debentures.

Accounts Payable
 
As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, one vendor accounted for approximately 83% and 72% of total accounts payable, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, one vendor accounted for 77% and 87% of cost of goods sold, respectively.

Accrued Warranties
 
Accrued warranties represent the estimated costs, if any, that will be incurred during the warranty period of our products. We make an estimate of expected costs that will be incurred by us during the warranty period and charge that expense to the consolidated statement of operations at the date of sale. Our manufacturer assumes warranty against product defects for one year which we extend to our customers.  We assume responsibility for product reliability and results. As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not establish a reserve.

Income taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized; in accordance with ASC guidance for income taxes. Net deferred tax benefits have been reserved at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.

Loss Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period presented.  Diluted loss per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants and conversions of debentures.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), ASC 718, Compensation- “Stock Compensation.” Under the provisions of FASB ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The Company had one active stock-based compensation plan (“2008 Plan”), TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan calls for the Company, through a committee of its board of directors, to issue up to 2,500,000 shares of restricted common stock or stock options. The Company generally issues grants to its employees, consultants, and board members. Stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of its common stock on the date of the grant with a term no greater than 10 years. Generally, stock options vest over two to four years. Incentive stock options granted to shareholders who own 10% or more of the Company’s outstanding equity securities are granted at an exercise price that may not be less than 110% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and have a term no greater than five years. On the date of a grant, the Company determines the fair value of the stock option award and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. On August 25, 2015 the plan was terminated.

On January 29, 2016, the board of directors adopted the 2016 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2016 Plan”) subject to its approval by stockholders.  The 2016 Plan authorizes the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units / shares.  Up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance under the 2016 Plan.  Shares issued under the 2016 Plan may be either authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or any combination thereof.  Provisions in the 2016 Plan permit the reuse or reissuance by the 2016 Plan of shares of common stock for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, shares of common stock underlying canceled, expired, or forfeited awards of stock-based compensation and stock appreciation rights paid out in the form of cash.  Stock-based compensation will typically be awarded in consideration for the future performance of services to the Company.  All recipients of awards under the 2016 Plan are required to enter into award agreements with the Company at the time of the award; awards under the 2016 Plan are expressly conditioned upon such agreements.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016, there were 100,000 stock options issued out of the plan.
Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents.  The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions which exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) limit of $250,000 at times during the year.
 
Long-Lived Assets Including Acquired Intangible Assets

We will review our intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  We will measure recoverability of these assets by comparing the carrying amounts to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate.  If intangible assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair market value.

Advertising and Promotional Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred.

Research and Development Expenses

The Company expenses research and development expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company includes shipping and handling costs relating to the delivery of products directly from vendors to the Company in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs, which include third-party delivery costs relating to the delivery of products from the Company to customers, are classified as a general and administrative expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”  ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.  Early adoption is not permitted.  We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes (ASU 2015-17), which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current. We have retrospectively adopted this standard as of December 31, 2015, and as a result there was no impact to the Company as all of the deferred tax assets for the year ended December 31, 2014 were classified as noncurrent.

In February of 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 (ASU 2016-02) “Leases.”  ASU 2016-02 provides new lease accounting guidance.  ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after   December 15, 2018 , including interim periods within that reporting period.  Early adoption is permitted.  We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 amounted to approximately $1,038,000 and $4,272,000, respectively, representing a decrease in the net loss of $3,234,000 or 76%.  The primary reasons for the decrease in the net loss can be attributed to:

●  
Increase in revenue of approximately $1,031,000 and the overall gross profit of approximately $561,000;
●  
Reduced amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $84,000 as a result of the convertible notes retired in June of 2015;
●  
Reduced amortization of debt discounts of approximately $963,000 as a result of the convertible notes retired in June of 2015;
●  
Changes in the fair value of the embedded conversion feature of the convertible notes of $2,673,000 incurred in the first quarter of 2015 with no such charge in the first quarter of 2016 as a result of the convertible notes retired in 2015;
●  
Reduced interest expense of approximately $127,000 in connection with the retirement of the convertible notes in June of 2015; offset by; and
●  
Increased operating expenses of approximately $1,176,000.

Sales

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we had net revenue of approximately $1,707,000 and $676,000, respectively, representing an increase in revenue of $1,031,000, or 152%.  The primary reason for the increase in revenue was attributable mainly to the Company expanding into new markets, having sufficient supply of product to fill orders, as well as diversifying our client base.

Cost of Sales

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we had cost of sales of approximately $748,000 and $278,000, respectively, representing an increase of $470,000, or 169%.  The primary reason for the increase in cost of sales was due to sales increasing during the three months ended March 31, 2016 versus the same period in the prior year.

Professional Fees

Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled approximately $178,000 as compared to $107,000 during the same period in the prior year representing an increase of approximately $71,000, or 66%.  Professional fees are mainly comprised of legal, accounting and financial consulting fees.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization was approximately $133,000 and $125,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled approximately $352,000 as compared to $95,000 for the same period in the prior year representing an increase of $257,000, or 272%.  These expenses represent selling salaries and wages, trade show fees, commissions and marketing expenses. We increased our marketing efforts during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and expect these costs to increase in future periods.  In addition, these costs increased for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as the result of the hiring of an internal sales staff in effort to increase revenue.

Research & Development

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled approximately $9,000 as compared to $22,000 in corresponding period in 2015.  Research and development expenses mainly include costs incurred in generating and supporting research on improving, extending and applying our patents in the field of mechanical cleaning and decontamination.  We expect these costs to increase in 2016.

Consulting Fees

Consulting fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled approximately $130,000 as compared to $76,000 during the corresponding period in 2015 representing an increase of approximately $53,000.  The increase in consulting fees is primarily due to the Company entering into a new consulting agreement during the first quarter of 2016 where 100,000 shares of common stock were issued and valued at $55,000.

Equity Compensation Expen se

Equity compensation expense represents non-cash charges for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and totaled approximately $339,000 as compared to $125,000 in 2015.  Equity compensation expense is incurred upon the issuance of warrants.  On the date of a grant, we determine the fair value of the stock option award and recognize compensation expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated using the Black-Scholes Method option-pricing model.  The increase in equity compensation is primarily due to warrants issued to the CEO, CFO and an employee and options issued to four board members during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses include salaries and payroll taxes, rent, insurance expense, utilities and office expense.  General and administrative expenses were approximately $857,000 and $271,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, representing an increase of $586,000, or 216%.  The primary reason for the increase in General and administrative expenses can be attributed mainly to higher salaries and wages due to new hires during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and stock granted to the President and issued to an employee in the first quarter.

Other Income and Expense

Amortization of deferred financing costs was approximately $0 and $84,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  This represents the amortization of costs incurred to raise capital in relation to the acquisition of the SteraMist TM line of products from L-3 and were fully amortized in the second quarter of 2015 upon retiring the convertible notes.

Amortization of debt discount was approximately $0 and $963,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, representing the amortization of debt discount on the $5,074,000 in convertible notes issued in 2013.  The debt discount was amortized over the life of the notes utilizing the effective interest method.

The fair value adjustment of the derivative liability during the three months ended March 31, 2015, amounted to approximately a $2,673,000 loss in the prior period.  Upon the retirement of the convertible notes in the second quarter of 2015, the derivative liability was reclassified to additional paid in capital.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $0 and 127,000, respectively.  This represented the interest due on the $5,074,000 in convertible notes issued in 2013 in connection with the acquisition of the SteraMist TM line of products from L-3 that were retired in the second quarter of 2015.

Net Loss

The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 amounted to approximately $1,038, 000 versus a loss of approximately $4,272,000 for the quarter ended Mach 31, 2015.  The loss per common share, basic and diluted, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 was $0.01.  The loss per common share, basic and diluted, for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was $0.05.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4,623,000 and working capital of $7,105,000. 
 
Our principal capital requirements are to fund operations, invest in research and development and capital equipment, and the continued costs of public company filing requirements. We have historically funded our operations through debt and equity financings.  In June and July 2015, we completed private placements and received net proceeds of approximately $8,000,000. In June 2015, we redeemed and converted all of the Notes by issuing approximately 14,900,000 shares of common stock, and $1,300,000 in cash.

The Company intends to uplist to a national stock exchange.  We understand there are qualitative and quantitative benchmarks that will need to be met in order to get listed on a national stock exchange.  This could require us to raise additional capital in order to meet the quantitative benchmarks.  There can be no assurance that we will be able to satisfy these qualitative and quantitative benchmarks or raise additional capital on terms favorable to the Company, if at all.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we incurred losses from operations of approximately $1,038,000 and $424,000, respectively.  The cash used cash in operations amounted to approximately $995,000 and $541,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The Company could incur additional operating losses from lack of revenues and an increase of costs related to the continuation of product and technology development and administrative activities.

Management of the Company has taken and will endeavor to continue to take a number of actions in order to improve the Company’s results of operations and the related cash flows generated from operations in order to get the Company to a stronger financial position.  These actions include the following items:
 
●  
Expanding our label with the EPA to include the bacteria’s C. diff and MRSA and the virus H1N1 in the EPA stamped registration.  In February 2016, the Company achieved the amended registration and feels it could allow TOMI to change the way our product is marketed in the United States Hospital-Healthcare verticals that could lead to further market penetration for the Company.
●  
Expansion of our internal salesforce and manufacturer representatives.  In February 2016, the Company hired a Vice President of Sales and an Internal Sales Director in an effort to drive domestic revenue in all Hospital-Healthcare verticals.
●  
Expansion of international distributors.  In February 2016, the Company announced the distributor agreement with TOMI Asia to facilitate growth in the Asian region, specifically Mainland China and Indo-China excluding South Korea and Australia/New Zealand.
●  
Continued growth of the TSN.  In January 2016, the Company hired a President and Director of Network Recruitment for TSN in order to increase TSN’s internal salesforce which therefore increased membership.  TSN currently has a total of 45 members and 21 members have been added year to date.
 
We believe that our existing balance of cash and cash equivalents and amounts expected to be provided by operations will provide us with sufficient financial resources to meet our cash requirements for operations, working capital and capital expenditures over the next eighteen months.  However, in the event of unforeseen circumstances, unfavorable market developments or unfavorable results from operations, there can be no assurance that the above actions could be successfully implemented as expected, and cash flows may be adversely affected.  Our sales cycle has come down but could exceed approximately 4-6 months and it’s possible we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue in the next twenty-four months to cover our operating and compliance costs. We may also need to raise additional debt or equity financing to execute on the commercialization of our product plans. We cannot make any assurances that management’s strategies will be effective or that any additional financing will be completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. Our inability to successfully implement our strategies or to complete any other financing may mean that we would have to significantly reduce costs and/or delay projects, which would adversely affect our business, customers and program development, and would adversely impact the Company.

Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of March 31, 2016, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

ARTICLE I
 
SHAREHOLDERS
 
1. SHARE CERTIFICATES. Certificates evidencing fully-paid shares of the corporation shall set forth thereon the statements prescribed by Section 607.0625 of the Florida Business Corporation Act ("Business Corporation Act") and by any other applicable provision of law, must be signed, either manually or in facsimile, by any one of the following officers: the President, a Vice President, the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, or by any officer designated by the Board of Directors, and may bear the corporate seal or its facsimile. If the person who signed, either manually or in facsimile, a share certificate no longer holds office when the certificate is issued, the certificate is nevertheless valid. 
 
2. FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP. The corporation may: issue fractions of a share or pay in money the fair value of fractions of a share; make arrangements, or provide reasonable opportunity, for any person entitled to or holding a fractional interest in a share to sell such fractional interest or to purchase such additional fractional interests as may be necessary to acquire a full share; and issue scrip in registered or bearer form, over the manual or facsimile signature of an officer of the corporation or its agent, entitling the holder to receive a full share upon surrendering enough scrip to equal a full share. Each certificate representing scrip must be conspicuously labeled "scrip" and must contain the information required by of Section 607.0625 of the Business Corporation Act. The holder of a fractional share is entitled to exercise the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote, to receive dividends, and to participate in the assets of the corporation upon liquidation. The holder of scrip is not entitled to any of these rights unless the scrip provides for them. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance of scrip subject to any condition considered desirable, including (a) that the scrip will become void if not exchanged for full shares before a specified date; and (b) that the shares for which the scrip is exchangeable may be sold and the proceeds paid to the scripholders. 
 
3. SHARE TRANSFERS. Upon compliance with any provisions restricting the transferability of shares that may be set forth in the articles of incorporation, these Bylaws, or any written agreement in respect thereof, transfers of shares of the corporation shall be made only on the books of the corporation by the registered holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary of the corporation, or with a transfer agent or a registrar and on surrender of the certificate or certificates for such shares properly endorsed and the payment of all taxes thereon, if any. Except as may be otherwise provided by law or these Bylaws, the person in whose name shares stand on the books of the corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof for all purposes as regards the corporation; provided that whenever any transfer of shares shall be made for collateral security, and not absolutely, such fact, if known to the Secretary of the corporation, shall be so expressed in the entry of transfer.

It is also intended with respect to the Non-Employee Directors of the Company that the Compensation Committee be able to choose from among Awards of Non-Qualified Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and RSUs which will (a) permit Non-Employee Directors to increase their ownership and proprietary interest in the Company and enhance their identification with the interests of the Company’s stockholders, (b) provide a means of compensating Non-Employee Directors that will help attract qualified candidates to serve as Non-Employee Directors, and (c) induce incumbent Non-Employee Directors to continue to serve if the Board desires that they remain on the Board.
 
C.   DURATION OF THE PLAN.  The Plan shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in effect, subject to the right of the Board of Directors to amend or terminate the Plan at any time pursuant to Article XV hereof, until all Shares subject to it shall have been purchased or acquired according to the Plan’s provisions.  However, in no event may an Award be granted under the Plan on or after January __, 2026.

B.   AWARD AGREEMENT.  Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the Option Price, the duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the Option pertains, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.  The Award Agreement also shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an ISO within the meaning of Code Section 422, or an NQSO, whose grant is intended not to fall under the provisions of Code Section 422.
 
C.   OPTION PRICE.  The Option Price for each grant of an Option under this Plan shall be at least equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no ISO shall be granted to any person who, immediately prior to the grant, owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company, unless the Option Price is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of the Option.

The Option Price upon exercise of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full either:  (a) in cash or its equivalent; or  (b) by tendering previously acquired Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option Price (provided that the Shares which are tendered must have been held by the Participant for at least six months prior to their tender to satisfy the Option Price); or (c) by a combination of (a) and (b).
 
The Committee, in its discretion, may also (a) allow cashless exercise as permitted under Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation T, subject to applicable securities law restrictions, (b) cashless exercise by the Participant by the Company’s withholding of Shares issuable upon exercise of an Option, or (c) by any other means which the Committee determines to be consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law.
 
Subject to any governing rules or regulations, as soon as practicable after receipt of a written notification of exercise and full payment, the Company shall deliver to the Participant, in the Participant’s name, Share certificates in an appropriate amount based upon the number of Shares purchased under the Option(s).

2.  
the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised.
 
At the discretion of the Committee, the payment upon SAR exercise may be in cash, in Shares of equivalent value, or in some combination thereof.  The Committee’s determination regarding the form of SAR payout shall be set forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the SAR.
 
G.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BY A PARTICIPANT WHO IS AN EMPLOYEE.  With respect to a Participant who is an Employee, each SAR Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to exercise the SAR following termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, with the exception of a termination of employment that occurs after a Change in Control, which is controlled by Article XVII.  Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the Award Agreement entered into with Participants, need not be uniform among all SARs issued pursuant to the Plan and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment.

A.   GRANT OF RESTRICTED STOCK.  Subject to the terms and provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Participants in such amounts as the Committee shall determine.  For purposes of this Article VIII, the term “Participant” shall include Non-Employee Directors of the Company and consultants.
 
 
13

 
 
B.   RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT.  Each Restricted Stock grant shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Award Agreement that shall specify the Period(s) of Restriction, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock granted and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine.
 
C.   NONTRANSFERABILITY.  Except as provided in this Article VIII and subject to federal securities laws, the Shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction established by the Committee and specified in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, or upon earlier satisfaction of any other conditions, as specified by the Committee in its sole discretion and as set forth in the Restricted Stock Award Agreement. All rights with respect to the Restricted Stock granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be available during his or her lifetime only to such Participant or the Participant’s legal representative for the Period of Restriction.
 
D.   OTHER RESTRICTIONS.  Subject to Article XI herein, the Committee may impose such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated purchase price for each Share of Restricted Stock, restrictions based upon the achievement of specific performance goals (Company-wide, divisional and/or individual), time-based restrictions on vesting following the attainment of the performance goals and/or restrictions under applicable federal or state securities laws.
 
The Company may retain the certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock in the Company’s possession until such time as all conditions and/or restrictions applicable to such Shares have been satisfied.
 
Except as otherwise provided in this Article VIII and subject to Federal securities laws, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock grant made under the Plan shall become freely transferable by the Participant after the last day of the applicable Period of Restriction.
 
E.   VOTING RIGHTS.  Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may be granted the right to exercise full voting rights with respect to those Shares during the Period of Restriction.
 
F.   DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS.  During the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder shall be credited with regular cash dividends paid with respect to the underlying Shares while they are so held.  The Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividends that the Committee deems appropriate.  Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, if the grant or vesting of Restricted Stock granted to a Covered Employee is designed to comply with the requirements of the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee may apply any restrictions it deems appropriate to the payment of dividends declared with respect to such Restricted Stock, such that the dividends and/or the Restricted Stock maintain eligibility for the Performance-Based Exception.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) dividends accrued on Restricted Stock will only be paid if the Restricted Stock vests; and (ii) for any Award that is governed by Code Section 409A regarding non-qualified deferred compensation, the Committee shall establish the schedule of any payments of dividends in accordance with the requirements of Code Section 409A or any guidance promulgated thereunder.
 
 
14

 
 
G.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT BY A PARTICIPANT WHO IS AN EMPLOYEE.  With respect to a Participant who is an Employee, each Restricted Stock Award Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Participant shall have the right to receive nonvested Restricted Shares following termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company.  Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, shall be included in the Award Agreement entered into with each Participant, need not be uniform among all Shares of Restricted Stock issued pursuant to the Plan and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of employment.
 
H.  
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATED TO  RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS TO NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS.
 
1.  
AWARD DATES.  Effective as of the date specified by the Committee in its sole discretion, each Non-Employee Director will be awarded such number of Shares of Restricted Stock as determined by the Board, after consideration of the recommendation of the Committee.  Non-Employee Directors may, but need not, be awarded the same number of Shares of Restricted Stock.  A Non-Employee Director who is first elected to the Board on a date subsequent to the date specified by the Committee in its sole discretion will be awarded such number of Shares of Restricted Stock as of such date of election as determined by the Board, after consideration of the recommendation of the Committee.
 
2.  
DIVIDEND RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RESTRICTED STOCK.  Notwithstanding Section VIII.F., upon issuance of a Restricted Stock Agreement, the Non-Employee Director in whose name the Restricted Stock Agreement is registered will, subject to the provisions of the Plan have the right to receive cash dividends and other cash distributions thereon.
 
3.  
PERIOD OF RESTRICTION.  Restricted Stock will be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section VIII.H.4. and the other provisions of the Plan during the Period of Restriction commencing on the date as of which the Restricted Stock is awarded (the “Award Date”) and ending on the earliest of the first to occur of the following:
 
a.  
the retirement of the Non-Employee Director from the Board in compliance with the Board’s retirement policy as then in effect;
 
b.  
the termination of the Non-Employee Director’s service on the Board as a result of the Non-Employee Director’s not being nominated for reelection by the Board;
 
 
15

 
 
c.  
the termination of the Non-Employee Director’s service on the Board because of the Non-Employee Director’s resignation or failure to stand for reelection with the consent of the Company’s Board (which means approval by at least 80% of the Directors voting, with the affected Non-Employee Director abstaining);
 
d.  
the termination of the Non-Employee Director’s service on the Board because the Non-Employee Director, although nominated for reelection by the Board, is not reelected by the stockholders;
 
e.  
the termination of the Non-Employee Director’s service on the Board because of (i) the Non-Employee’s Director’s resignation at the request of the Board or the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board (or successor committee), (ii) the Non-Employee Director’s removal by action of the stockholders or by the Board, or (iii) a Change in Control of the Company;

the termination of the Non-Employee Director’s service on the Board because of Disability or death; or
 
g.  
the vesting of the Restricted Stock.
 
Section VIII.H.3.a. through g. above are subject to the further restrictions that a removal or resignation for “Cause” will be deemed to not constitute completion of the Period of Restriction and will result in a forfeiture of Restricted Stock not previously vested under Section VIII.H.4.  For purposes of this Plan, “Cause” will be a good faith determination by the Board that the Non-Employee Director (i) failed to substantially perform his or her duties (other than a failure resulting from his or her incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written demand for substantial performance has been delivered to him or her by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes such Non-Employee Director has not substantially performed his or her duties; (ii) has engaged in conduct the consequences of which are materially adverse to the Company, monetarily or otherwise; or (iii) has pleaded guilty or nolo contendere to or been convicted of a felony.  The Non-Employee Director will not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless there will have been delivered to the Non-Employee Director a letter from the Board setting forth the reasons for the Company’s termination of the Non-Employee Director for Cause and, with respect to (i) or (ii), stating that the Non-Employee Director has failed to cure such reason for termination within thirty (30) days after the Non-Employee Director’s receipt of such notice.
 
4.  
FORFEITURE OF RESTRICTED STOCK.  As of the date (“Termination Date”) a Non-Employee Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason, including but not limited to removal or resignation for Cause, the Non-Employee Director shall forfeit to the Company all Restricted Stock awarded to the Non-Employee Director for which the Period of Restriction has not ended pursuant to Section VIII.H.3. as of or prior to the Termination Date.

E.   DIVIDEND EQUIVALENTS.  Each RSU shall be credited with an amount equal to the dividends paid on a Share between the date of grant and the date such RSU is paid to the Participant (if at all).  Dividend equivalents shall vest, if at all, upon the same terms and conditions governing the vesting of RSUs under the Plan.  Payment of the dividend equivalent shall be made at the same time as payment of the RSU and shall be made without interest or other adjustment.  If the RSU is forfeited, the Participant shall have no right to dividend equivalents.
 
F.   VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of RSUs shall have no voting rights.
 
G.   NONTRANSFERABILITY.  RSUs may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by laws of descent and distribution.

A.   GRANT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS/SHARES.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, Performance Units and/or Performance Shares may be granted to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the Committee.
 
 
17

 
 
B.   PERFORMANCE UNIT/SHARE AGREEMENT.  Each Performance Unit or Performance Share grant shall be evidenced by a Performance Unit or Performance Share Award Agreement, as the case may be, that shall specify the number of Performance Units or Performance Shares granted and such other provisions as the Committee may determine.
 
C.   VALUE OF PERFORMANCE UNITS/SHARES.  Each Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the Committee at the time of grant.  Each Performance Share shall have an initial value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant.  The Committee shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or value of Performance Units/Shares that will be paid out to the Participant.  For purposes of this Article X, the time period during which the performance goals must be met shall be called a “Performance Period.”
 
D.   EARNING OF PERFORMANCE UNITS/SHARES.  Subject to the terms of this Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares shall be entitled to receive payout on the number and value of Performance Units/Shares earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals have been achieved.
 
E.   FORM AND TIMING OF PAYMENT OF PERFORMANCE UNITS/SHARES.  Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares shall be made in a single lump sum following the close of the applicable Performance Period.  Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares in the form of cash or in Shares (or in a combination thereof) which have an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares at the close of the applicable Performance Period.  Such Shares may be granted subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee.  The determination of the Committee with respect to the form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement pertaining to the grant of the Award.  Payment shall be made no later than two and one-half (2 ½) months following the close of the Performance Period.
 
F.   SEPARATION FROM SERVICE DUE TO DEATH OR DISABILITY.  In the event the Participant incurs a Separation From Service by reason of death or Disability during a Performance Period, the Participant shall not receive a payout of the Performance Units/Shares, unless determined otherwise by the Committee or set forth in the Participant’s Award Agreement.
 
Payment of earned Performance Units/Shares shall be made at a time specified by the Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the Participant’s Award Agreement.
 
G.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR OTHER REASONS.  In the event  that a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason other than those reasons set forth in Section X.F. herein, all Performance Units/Shares intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception shall be forfeited by the Participant to the Company.
 
H.   NONTRANSFERABILITY.  Except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement, Performance Units/Shares may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.  Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement, a Participant’s rights under the Plan shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant or the Participant’s legal representative.
 
 
18

 
 
I.   NO DIVIDEND AND VOTING RIGHTS.  Participants will not be entitled to receive any dividends declared with respect to Shares which have been earned in connection with grants of Performance Units and/or Performance Shares, but not yet distributed to Participants  nor shall Participants have voting rights with respect to such Shares.
 
XI.  
PERFORMANCE MEASURES
 
Unless and until the Committee proposes for stockholder vote and the Company’s stockholders approve a change in the general performance measures set forth in this Article XI, the attainment of which may determine the degree of payout and/or vesting with respect to Awards to Covered Employees which measures are designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the performance measure(s) to be used for purposes of such grants may be measured at the Company level, at a Subsidiary or Affiliate level, or at an operating unit level and shall be chosen from among the following:  net income either before or after taxes (including adjusted net income), share price, earnings per share (basic or diluted), total stockholder return, return on assets, return on equity, operating income, return on capital or investment, cash flow or adjusted cash flow from operations, economic value added or adjusted cash flow per Share (net income plus or minus change in operating assets and liabilities), debt level, cost reduction targets, and equity ratios.
 
The Committee shall have the discretion to adjust the determinations of the degree of attainment of the preestablished performance goals; provided, however, that Awards which are designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, and which are held by Covered Employees, may not be adjusted upward (the Committee shall retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward).
 
In the event that applicable tax and/or securities laws or exchange listing standards change to permit Committee discretion to alter the governing performance measures without obtaining stockholder approval of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes without obtaining stockholder approval.  In addition, in the event that the Committee determines that it is advisable to grant Awards which shall not qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the Committee may make such grants without satisfying the requirements of Code Section 162(m).
 
In the case of any Award which is granted subject to the condition that a specified performance measure be achieved, no payment under such Award shall be made prior to the time that the Committee certifies in writing that the performance measure has been satisfied, in accordance with Internal Revenue Service requirements.  No such certification is required, however, in the case of an Award that is based solely on an increase in the value of a Share from the date such Award was made.
 
 
19

 
 
XII.  
BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION
 
Each Participant under the Plan may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under the Plan is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit.  Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, shall be in a form prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Company during the Participant’s lifetime.  In the absence of any such designated beneficiary, benefits remaining unpaid at the Participant’s death shall be paid to the Participant’s estate.
 
XIII.  
DEFERRALS
 
The Committee may permit or require a Participant to defer such Participant’s receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant by virtue of the exercise of an Option or SAR, the lapse or waiver of restrictions with respect to Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or the satisfaction of any requirements or goals with respect to Performance Units/Shares.  If any such deferral election is required or permitted, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion, establish rules and procedures for such payment deferrals, provided, however, all deferrals shall be made in accordance with all applicable requirements of Code Section 409A or any guidance promulgated thereunder.
 
XIV.  
RIGHTS OF EMPLOYEES
 
A.   EMPLOYMENT.  Nothing in the Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any Participant’s employment at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ of the Company.
 
B.   PARTICIPATION.  No Employee shall have the right to be selected to receive an Award under this Plan or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future Award.
 
XV.  
AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, TERMINATION AND ADJUSTMENTS
 
A.   AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, may at any time and from time to time, alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part for any purpose which the Committee deems appropriate and that is otherwise consistent with Code Section 409A; provided, however, no amendment shall, without shareholder approval, (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan; (ii) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Plan; or (iii) materially modify the requirements for participation in the Plan.
 
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), the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price of outstanding Options or SARs or cancel outstanding Options or SARs in exchange for cash, other awards or Options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original Options or SARs without shareholder approval.
 
 
20

 
 
B.   ADJUSTMENT OF AWARDS UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF CERTAIN UNUSUAL OR NONRECURRING EVENTS.  The Committee may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section IV.C. hereof) affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan; provided that unless the Committee determines otherwise, no such adjustment shall be authorized to the extent that such authority would be inconsistent with the Plan or Awards meeting the requirements of Code Sections 162(m) and 409A, as from time to time amended.
 
C.   AWARDS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary (but subject to Section XV.B. hereof), no termination, amendment or modification of the Plan shall adversely affect in any material way any Award previously granted under the Plan without the written consent of the Participant holding such Award.
 
D.   COMPLIANCE WITH CODE SECTION 162(m). At all times when Code Section 162(m) is applicable, all Awards granted under this  Plan shall comply with the requirements of Code Section 162(m); provided, however, that in the event the Committee determines that such compliance is not desired with respect to any Award or Awards available for grant under the Plan, then compliance with Code Section 162(m) will not be required.  In addition, in the event that changes are made to Code Section 162(m) to permit greater flexibility with respect to any Award or Awards available under the Plan, the Committee may, subject to this Article XV, make any adjustments it deems appropriate consistent with the changes made to Code Section 162(m).
 
XVI.  
PAYMENT OF PLAN AWARDS AND CONDITIONS THEREON
 
A.   EFFECT OF COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY. Anything contained in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, unless otherwise covered in an employment agreement by and between the Company and the Participant, with respect to any Participant who is an Employee, if the employment of any Participant shall terminate, for any reason other than death, while any Award to such Participant is outstanding hereunder, and such Participant has not yet received the Shares covered by such Award or otherwise received the full benefit of such Award, such Participant, if otherwise entitled thereto, shall receive such Shares or benefit only if, during the entire period from the date of such Participant’s termination to the date of such receipt, such Participant shall have earned such Award by making himself or herself available, upon request, at reasonable times and upon a reasonable basis, to consult with, supply information to, and otherwise cooperate with the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof with respect to any matter that shall have been handled by him or her or under his or her supervision while he or she was in the employ of the Company or of any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof.
 
 
21

 
 
B.   NONFULFILLMENT OF COMPETITIVE ACTIVITY CONDITIONS; WAIVERS UNDER THE PLAN.  In the event of a Participant’s nonfulfillment of any condition set forth in Section XVI.A. hereof, such Participant’s rights under any Award shall be forfeited and canceled forthwith; provided, however, that the nonfulfillment of such condition may at any time (whether before, at the time of, or subsequent to termination of employment) be waived by the Committee upon its determination that in its sole judgment there shall not have been and will not be any substantial adverse effect upon the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof by reason of the nonfulfillment of such condition.
 
XVII.  
CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
A.   TREATMENT OF OUTSTANDING AWARDS.  Notwithstanding any provisions in the Participant’s Employment Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section XVII.B. herein or the Plan governing the particular Award, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control:
 
1.  
any and all Options and SARs granted hereunder shall become fully-vested and immediately exercisable;
 
2.  
any Periods of Restriction and restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock or RSUs which are not intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception shall lapse; and
 
3.  
any Award intended to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception shall be earned in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement.
 
B.   TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND MODIFICATIONS OF CHANGE-IN-CONTROL PROVISIONS.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement provision, the provisions of this Article XVII may not be terminated, amended or modified on or after the date of an event, commencing upon material discussions by the Board respecting a possible transaction that would result in a Change in Control, which is likely to give rise to a Change in Control to affect adversely any Award theretofore granted under the Plan without the prior written consent of the Participant with respect to said Participant’s outstanding Awards.
 
XVIII.  
TAX PROVISIONS
 
A.   TAX WITHHOLDING.  The Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant who is an Employee to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of this Plan.
 
B.   SHARE WITHHOLDING.  With respect to withholding required upon the exercise of Options or SARs, upon the lapse of restrictions on Restricted Stock or Restricted RSUs, upon achievement of the performance goals on Performance Shares or Performance Units or upon any other taxable event arising as a result of Awards granted hereunder, Participants who are Employees may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the Company withhold Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date the tax is to be determined at least equal to the minimum, but not more than the maximum, statutory tax which could be imposed on the transaction.  All such elections shall be irrevocable, made in writing, and signed by the Participant, and shall be subject to any restrictions or limitations that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.
 
 
22

 
 
C.   REQUIREMENT OF NOTIFICATION OF CODE SECTION 83(b) ELECTION.  If any Participants shall make an election under Code Section 83(b) (to include in gross income in the year of transfer the amounts specified in Code Section 83(b)) or under a similar provisions of the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, such Participant shall notify the Company of such election within ten (10) days after filing notice of the election with the Internal Revenue Service or other government authority, in addition to any filing and notification required pursuant to regulations issued under Code Section 83(b) or other applicable provision.
 
D.   REQUIREMENT OF NOTIFICATION UPON DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION UNDER CODE SECTION 421(b).  If any Participant shall make any disposition of shares of stock delivered pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in Code Section 421(b) (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Participant shall notify the Company of such disposition within ten (10) days thereof.
 
XIX.  
INDEMNIFICATION
 
Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from any loss, cost, liability or expense (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such action, suit or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Articles  of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.
 
XX.  
SUCCESSORS
 
All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

23

 
 
B.   SEVERABILITY.  In the event any provision of the Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.
 
C.   REQUIREMENTS OF LAW.  The granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under the Plan shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
 
D.   SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE.  With respect to Insiders, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the Exchange Act.  To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
 
E.   CODE SECTION 409A COMPLIANCE.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, all Awards under this Plan that are subject to Code Section 409A shall be designed and administered in a manner that does not result in the imposition of tax or penalties under Code Section 409A.  Accordingly, Awards under this Plan that are subject to Code Section 409A shall comply with the following requirements, as applicable.
 
1.  
Distribution to Specified Employees Upon Separation from Service .  To the extent that payment under an Award which is subject to Code Section 409A is due to a Specified Employee on account of the Specified Employee’s Separation from Service from the Company or its Affiliate or Subsidiary, such payment shall be delayed until the first day of the seventh (7 th ) month following such Separation from Service (or as soon as practicable thereafter).  The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Award document for the payment of interest at a rate set by the Committee for such six-month period.  In the event that a payment under an Award is exempt from Code Section 409A, payment shall be made to a Specified Employee without any such six-month delay.
 
2.  
No Acceleration of Payment .  To the extent that an Award is subject to Code Section 409A, payment under such Award shall not be accelerated from the date(s) specified in the Award documents as of the date of grant.
 
3.  
Subsequent Delay in Payment .  To the extent that an Award is subject to Code Section 409A, payment under such Award shall not be deferred beyond the dates specified in the Award document as of the date of grant, unless the Committee or Participant, as the case may be, makes the decision to delay payment at least one year prior to the scheduled payment date, and payment is delayed at least five (5) years.
