Section 3 — STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

3.1 Authorized Stock .

(a) Subject to adjustment as provided in this Section, the aggregate number of shares of Stock subject to an Award under the Plan shall be 400,000 shares. Stock delivered under the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or of shares acquired from shareholders upon such terms as the Board deems appropriate for reserve in connection with exercises hereunder.

(b) The maximum number of shares of Stock that may be subject to all Awards granted under the Plan to any one Employee under the Plan is 100,000 shares, subject to adjustment under Section 3.3.

3.2 Effect of Expirations . If any Award is wholly or partly canceled or forfeited, or terminates, expires or lapses, for any reason, the number of shares of Stock with respect to which the Award can no longer be exercised or realized by the Employee shall again be available for grant of Awards under the Plan. If previously acquired shares of Stock are used to pay the exercise price of an Award, the number of shares available for grant of Awards under the Plan shall be increased by the number of shares delivered as payment of such exercise price. If previously acquired shares of Stock are used to pay withholding taxes payable upon exercise or vesting of an Award, or if shares of Stock that would be acquired upon exercise or vesting of an Award are withheld to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes payable upon exercise or vesting of such Award, the number of shares available for grant of Awards under the Plan shall be increased by the number of shares delivered or withheld as payment of such withholding taxes.

3.3 Adjustments in Authorized Shares Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Certain Other Transactions .

(a) Change in Number of Shares Subject to Plan or Agreements. The number of shares of Stock covered by each outstanding Award, and the number of shares of Stock that have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or that have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award, as well as the price per share of Stock covered by each such outstanding Option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Holding Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Holding Company shall not be deemed to

have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. If any adjustment under this Section 3.3 would create a fractional share of Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares of Stock reserved under this Plan and the number subject to any Awards granted under this Plan shall be the next lower number of shares of Stock, rounding all fractions downward. Any adjustment under this Section shall be made in such a manner that would not constitute a “modification” under Section 424(h) of the Code, even though that Code Section is not otherwise applicable. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Holding Company of shares of stock of any class other than common, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class other than common, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Stock subject to an Award.

(b) Conversion Into Other Securities. If the Holding Company shall at any time merge, consolidate with or into another corporation or association, or enter into a statutory share exchange or any other similar transaction in which shares of Stock are converted as a matter of law into securities and/or other property, except as otherwise provided in (d) below, each Employee will thereafter receive, upon the exercise of an Option, the securities or property to which a holder of the number of shares of Stock then deliverable upon the exercise of such Option would have been entitled if such Option had been exercised immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, or share exchange and the Holding Company shall take such steps in connection with such merger, consolidation or share exchange as may be necessary to ensure that the provisions of this Plan shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as is reasonably possible, in relation to any securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of such Option.

(c) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Holding Company, the Board shall notify each holder of an outstanding Option at least 15 days prior to such proposed action. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(d) Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, each outstanding Option shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. If such successor corporation does not agree to assume the outstanding Options or to substitute equivalent options or rights, then each Option outstanding shall expire upon the Change in Control, and the Company shall give each holder of an outstanding Option 15 days advance notice of the Change in Control and termination of Options. At the direction and discretion of the Committee, any unvested Awards shall become vested in full at the date such notice is given, the date of Change in Control, or such other date specified by the Holding Company.

Section 4 — ADMINISTRATION

4.1 Committee Governance .

(a) This Plan shall be administered by the Board, unless the Board appoints a fewer number of its members to act on its behalf as a committee hereunder (in either case, defined herein as the “Committee”). To the extent that the Board determines it desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), each member of the Committee administering the Plan as to such transactions shall be a “Non-Employee Director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act. To the extent that the Board determines it desirable to qualify Awards granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, each member of the Committee administering the Plan as to such Awards shall be an “outside director” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(3). The Committee shall be appointed from time to time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board.

(b) The number of Committee members shall be determined by the Board. The Board shall add or remove members from the Committee as the Board sees fit, and vacancies shall be filled by the Board. The Committee shall select one of its members as the chairperson of the Committee and shall hold meetings at such times and places as it may determine. The Committee may appoint a secretary and, subject to the provisions of the Plan and to policies determined by the Board, may make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable. Written action of the Committee may be taken by a majority of its members, and actions so taken shall be fully effective as if taken by a vote of a majority of the members at a meeting duly called and held. A majority of Committee members shall constitute a quorum for purposes of meeting. The act of a majority of the members present at any meeting for which there is a quorum shall be a valid act of the Committee.

4.2 Committee to Interpret Plan . Subject to the express terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee shall have sole power to (i) construe and interpret the Plan; (ii) establish, amend or waive rules for its administration; (iii) to determine and accelerate the exercisability of any Option and the vesting in any Award; (iv) correct inconsistencies in the Plan or in any Award Agreement, or any other instrument relating to an Award; (v) determine all factual matters respect to any Award; and (v) subject to the provisions of Section 9, amend the terms and conditions of any outstanding Award, to the extent such terms and conditions are within the discretion of the Committee as provided in the Plan. All constructions of this Plan shall be made in a manner the Committee believes consistent with Awards under the Plan not constituting “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.
