Option Agreements may incorporate all or any of the terms of the Plan by reference and shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(b) Limitations on Forms of Consideration - Tender of Stock .

To the extent a Participant holds two (2) or more Incentive Stock Options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such Option as Incentive Stock Options under the Federal tax laws shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such Incentive Stock Options are granted.

(d) Expiration .

(i) Disability . If the Participant’s Service terminates because of the Disability of the Participant, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested Stock on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant (or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative) at any time prior to the expiration of twelve (12) months after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the date of expiration of the Option’s term as set forth in the Option Agreement.

(iv) Other Termination of Service . Except as set forth in the Option Agreement, if the Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, except Disability, death or Cause, the Option, to the extent unexercised and exercisable for vested Stock on the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, may be exercised by the Participant at any time prior to the expiration of three (3) months after the date on which the Participant’s Service terminated, but in any event no later than the expiration of the Option term as set forth in the Option Agreement.

(b) Extension if Exercise Prevented by Law . Notwithstanding the foregoing other than termination of Service for Cause, if the exercise of an Option within the applicable time periods set forth in Subsection 6.5(a) is prevented by the provisions of Section 9 of the Plan, the Option shall remain exercisable until the later of (i) thirty (30) days after the date such exercise first would no longer be prevented by such provisions or (ii) the end of the applicable time period under Subsection 6.5(a), but in any event no later than the expiration of the Option term as set forth in the Option Agreement.

7. CHANGE OF CONTROL.

7.1. Effect of Change of Control on Options . Subject to the requirements and limitations of Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, the Committee may provide for any one or more of the following:

(a) Accelerated Vesting . The Committee may, in its discretion, provide in any Option Agreement or, in the event of a Change of Control, may take such actions as it deems appropriate to provide for the acceleration of the exercisability and/or vesting in connection with such Change of Control of each or any outstanding Option or portion thereof and Stock acquired pursuant thereto upon such conditions, including termination of the Participant’s Service prior to, upon, or following such Change of Control, to such extent as the Committee shall determine.

(b) Assumption, Continuation or Substitution of Options . In the event of a Change of Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing corporation or other business entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the “Acquiror”), may, without the consent of any Participant, assume or continue the Company’s rights and obligations under each or any Option or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change of Control or substitute for each or any such outstanding Option or portion thereof a substantially equivalent Option with respect to the Acquiror’s stock. For purposes of this Section, if so determined by the Committee, in its discretion, an Option or any portion thereof shall be deemed assumed if, following the Change of Control, the Option confers the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Option Agreement, for each share of Stock subject to such portion of the Option immediately prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, other securities or property or a combination thereof) to which a holder of a share of Stock on the effective date of the Change of Control was entitled; provided, however, that if such consideration is not solely common stock of the Acquiror, the Committee may, with the consent of the Acquiror, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option for each share of Stock to consist solely of common stock of the Acquiror equal in Fair Market Value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock pursuant to the Change of Control. If any portion of such consideration may be received by holders of Stock pursuant to the Change of Control on a contingent or delayed basis, the Committee may, in its discretion, determine such Fair Market Value per share as of the time of the Change of Control on the basis of the Committee’s good faith estimate of the present value of the probable future payment of such consideration. Any Option or portion thereof which is neither assumed or continued by the Acquiror in connection with the Change of Control nor exercised as of the time of consummation of the Change of Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the time of consummation of the Change of Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stock acquired upon exercise of an Option prior to the Change of Control and any consideration received pursuant to the Change of Control with respect to such Stock shall continue to be subject to all applicable provisions of the Option Agreement evidencing such Option except as otherwise provided in such Option Agreement.

(c) Cash-Out of Outstanding Options . The Committee may, in its discretion and without the consent of any Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each or any Option or portion thereof outstanding immediately prior to the Change of Control shall be canceled in exchange for a payment with respect to each vested share of Stock (and each unvested share of Stock, if so determined by the Committee) of Stock subject to such canceled Option in (i) cash, (ii) stock of the Company or of a corporation or other business entity a party to the Change of Control, or (iii) other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per share of Stock in the Change of Control, reduced by the Exercise Price or purchase price per share of Stock, if any, under such Option. If any portion of such consideration may be received by stockholders pursuant to the Change of Control on a contingent or delayed basis, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, determine such Fair Market Value per share as of the time of the Change of Control on the basis of the Committee’s good faith estimate of the present value of the probable future payment of such consideration. In the event such determination is made by the Committee, the amount of such payment (reduced by applicable withholding taxes, if any) shall be paid to Participants in respect of the vested portions of their canceled Options as soon as practicable following the date of the Change of Control and in respect of the unvested portions of their canceled Options in accordance with the vesting schedules applicable to such Options.

8. TAX WITHHOLDING.

8.1. Withholding Requirements . Prior to the delivery of any Stock or cash pursuant to an Option (or exercise thereof), or at such earlier time as the tax obligations are due, the Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy all tax obligations.

8.2. Withholding Arrangements . The Committee, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may designate the method or methods by which a Participant may satisfy such tax obligations. As determined by the Committee in its discretion from time to time, these methods may include one or more of the following: (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise cash or Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld, (c) delivering to the Company already-owned Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum amount required to be withheld or remitted, provided the delivery of such Stock will not result in any adverse accounting consequences as the Committee determines in its sole discretion, (d) selling a sufficient number of Stock otherwise deliverable to the Participant through such means as the Committee may determine in its sole discretion (whether through a broker or otherwise) equal to the tax obligations required to be withheld, (e) retaining from salary or other amounts payable to the Participant cash having a sufficient value to satisfy the tax obligations, or (f) any other means which the Committee, in its sole discretion, determines to both comply with Applicable Law, and to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The amount of tax obligations will be deemed to include any amount that the Committee agrees may be withheld at the time the election is made, not to exceed the amount determined by using the maximum federal, state or local marginal income tax rates applicable to the Participant or the Company, as applicable, with respect to the Option on the date that the amount of tax or social insurance liability to be withheld or remitted is to be determined. The Fair Market Value of the Stock to be withheld or delivered shall be determined as of the date that the tax obligations are required to be withheld.

9. COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAW.

9.1. Section 16 Persons . With respect to Section 16 Persons, transactions under this Plan are intended to qualify for the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan, Option Agreement 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 or appropriate by the Committee.

9.2. Investment Representations . As a condition to the exercise of an Option, the Company may require the person exercising such Option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Stock are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Stock if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

9.3. Inability to Obtain Authority . The Company will not be required to issue any Stock, cash, or other property under the Plan unless all the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the admission of the Stock or other property to listing on all stock exchanges on which such class of stock or property then is listed; (b) the completion of any registration or other qualification or rule compliance of the Stock under any U.S. state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the stock exchange on which Stock of the same class are then listed, or any other governmental regulatory body, as counsel to the Company, in its absolute discretion, deems necessary or advisable; (c) the obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any U.S. federal, state or other governmental agency, which counsel to the Company, in its absolute discretion, determines to be necessary or advisable; and (d) the lapse of such reasonable period of time following the Grant Date, vesting and/or exercise as the Company may establish from time to time for reasons of administrative convenience. If the Committee determines, in its absolute discretion, that one or more of the preceding conditions will not be satisfied, the Company automatically will be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue the Stock, cash or other property as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

10. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF PLAN.

The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. However, without the approval of the Company’s stockholders, there shall be (a) no increase in the maximum aggregate number of Stock that may be issued under the Plan (except by operation of the provisions of Subsection 4.3), (b) no change in the class of persons eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options, and (c) no other amendment of the Plan that would require approval of the Company’s stockholders under any Applicable Law, regulation or rule, including the rules of any stock exchange or market system upon which the Stock may then be listed. No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall affect any then outstanding Option unless expressly provided by the Board. Except as provided by the next sentence, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may adversely affect any then outstanding Option without the consent of the Participant. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Option Agreement to the contrary, the Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the consent of any Participant, amend the Plan or any Option Agreement, to take effect retroactively or otherwise, as it deems necessary or advisable for the purpose of conforming the Plan or such Option Agreement to any present or future law, regulation or rule applicable to the Plan, including, but not limited to, Section 409A of the Code.

11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

11.1. 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 (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense 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 or any Option Agreement, and (b) 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 claim, 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 Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

11.2. Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Options 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.

11.3. Rights as Employee . No person, even though eligible pursuant to Section 5, shall have a right to be selected as a Participant, or, having been so selected, to be selected again as a Participant. Nothing in the Plan or any Option granted under the Plan shall confer on any Participant a right to remain an Employee or interfere with or limit in any way any right of the Company to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time. To the extent that an Employee of the Company other than the Company receives an Option under the Plan, that Option shall in no event be understood or interpreted to mean that the Company is the Employee’s employer or that the Employee has an employment relationship with the Company.

11.4. Rights as a Stockholder . A Participant shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Stock covered by an Option until the date of the issuance of such Stock (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company). No adjustment shall be made for dividends, distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such Stock are issued.

11.5. Delivery of Title to Stock. Subject to any governing rules or regulations, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued the Stock acquired pursuant to an Option and shall deliver such Stock to or for the benefit of the Participant by means of one or more of the following: (a) by delivering to the Participant evidence of book entry Stock credited to the account of the Participant, (b) by depositing such Stock for the benefit of the Participant with a broker of the Committee’s choosing, or (c) by delivering such Stock to the Participant in certificate form .

11.6. Fractional Shares . The Company shall not be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise or settlement of any Option.

11.7. Retirement and Welfare Plans . This Plan is not intended to satisfy the requirements for qualification under Section 401(a) of the Code or to satisfy the definitional requirements for an “employee benefit plan” under Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. It is intended to be a non-qualified incentive compensation program that is exempt from the regulatory requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Plan shall be construed and administered so as to effectuate this intent. Neither Options made under this Plan nor Stock or cash paid pursuant to such Options shall be included as “compensation” for purposes of computing the benefits payable to any Participant under the Company’s retirement plans (both qualified and non-qualified) or welfare benefit plans unless such other plan expressly provides that such compensation shall be taken into account in computing such benefits.

11.8. Section 409A of the Code . Notwithstanding other provisions of the Plan or any Option Agreements hereunder, no Option shall be granted, deferred, accelerated, extended, paid out or modified under this Plan in a manner that would result in the imposition of an additional tax under Section 409A of the Code upon a Participant. In the event that it is reasonably determined by the Committee that, as a result of Section 409A of the Code, payments in respect of any Option under the Plan may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms of the Plan or the relevant Option Agreement, as the case may be, without causing the Participant holding such Option to be subject to taxation under Section 409A of the Code, including as a result of the fact that the Participant is a “specified employee” under Section 409A of the Code, the Company will make such payment on the first day that would not result in the Participant incurring any tax liability under Section 409A of the Code. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to implement the provisions of this Subsection 11.8 in good faith; provided that neither the Company, the Committee nor any of the Employees, Directors or representatives shall have any liability to Participants with respect to this Subsection 11.8.

11.9. Severability . If any one or more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

11.10. No Constraint on Corporate Action . Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to: (a) limit, impair, or otherwise affect the Company’s right or power to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes of its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, or dissolve, liquidate, sell, or transfer all or any part of its business or assets; or (b) limit the right or power of the Company to take any action which such entity deems to be necessary or appropriate.

11.11. Choice of Law . Except to the extent governed by applicable federal law, the validity, interpretation, construction and performance of the Plan and each Option Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law rules.

11.12. Stockholder Approval . The Plan or any increase in the maximum aggregate number of Stock issuable thereunder as provided in Subsection 4 (the “Authorized Stock”) shall be approved by a majority of the outstanding securities of the Company entitled to vote by the later of (a) a period beginning twelve (12) months before and ending twelve (12) months after the date of adoption thereof by the Board. Options granted prior to stockholder approval of the Plan or in excess of the Authorized Stock previously approved by the stockholders shall become exercisable no earlier than the date of stockholder approval of the Plan or such increase in the Authorized Stock, as the case may be, and such Options shall be rescinded if such stockholder approval is not received in the manner described in the preceding sentence.

11.13. Unfunded Plan . Insofar as it provides for Options, the Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are granted Options under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. The Company shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be represented by Options, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company or the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be Optioned under the Plan.

11.14. Third Party Administrator . In connection with a Participant’s participation in the Plan, the Company may use the services of a third party administrator, including a brokerage firm administrator, and the Company may provide this administrator with personal information about a Participant, including a Participant’s name, social security number and address, as well as the details of each Option, and this administrator may provide information to the Company concerning the exercise of a Participant’s rights and account data as it relates to Options under the Plan.

11.15. Liability of Company . The Company shall not be liable to a Participant or other persons as to: (a) the non-issuance or sale of Stock as to which the Company has been unable to obtain from any regulatory body having jurisdiction the authority deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Stock hereunder; and (b) any tax consequence expected, but not realized, by any Participant or other person due to the receipt, exercise or settlement of any Option or other Option granted hereunder.
