In making such determinations, the Committee may take into account the nature of the Optionee's or Participant's services and responsibilities, the Optionee's or Participant's present and potential contribution to the Company's success and such other factors as it may deem relevant. The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of the Plan or of any Award granted under it shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons having any interest in the Plan or in any Awards granted hereunder.

          3. Any fractional Award otherwise to be issued under this subsection (ii) shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Award.

      1. Exculpation .

      2. Indemnification . Service on the Committee shall constitute service as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Each member of the Committee shall be entitled without further act on his part to indemnity from the Company to the fullest extent provided by applicable law and the Company's Articles of Incorporation and/or By-laws in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or proceeding with respect to the administration of the Plan or the granting of Awards thereunder in which he or she may be involved by reason of his or her being or having been a member of the Committee, whether or not he or she continues to be such member of the Committee at the time of the action, suit or proceeding.
    1. Awards under the Plan . Awards granted under the Plan may be in the form of a Non-qualified Stock Option, an ISO or Restricted Stock, or a combination thereof, at the discretion of the Committee; provided, however, that ISOs may be granted only to individuals who are employees of the Company or an Affiliate.
    2. Eligibility . All key employees and members of the Board of Directors of the Company or its Affiliates shall be eligible to receive Awards hereunder. The Committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether an individual qualifies as a key employee.
    3. Shares Subject to Plan . The aggregate maximum number of Shares for which Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan is 6,000,000, adjusted as provided in Section 11 of the Plan. The Shares to be issued may be from authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock of the Company or previously issued shares of Common Stock of the Company reacquired by the Company. Awards covering no more than 500,000 Shares may be granted to any individual during any calendar year that the Plan is in effect, except as such number of Shares shall be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of the Plan. If an Option terminates or expires without having been fully exercised for any reason, or if any Shares with respect to an award of Restricted Stock shall be forfeited for any reason, the Shares subject thereto may again be the subject of an Award granted pursuant to the Plan.
    4. Term of the Plan . The Plan has been amended and restated effective as of June 24, 2009. No Award may be granted under the Plan after June 30, 2012.

      1. Number of Option Shares . Each Option Document shall state the number of Shares to which it pertains. An Optionee may receive more than one Option, which may include both Options which are intended to be ISOs and Options that are not intended to be ISOs, but only on the terms and subject to the conditions and restrictions of the Plan.
      2. Option Price . Each Option Document shall state the Option Price, which, for all Options, shall be at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is granted as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that if an ISO is granted to an Optionee who then owns, directly or by attribution under Section 424(d) of the Code, shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or an Affiliate, then the Option Price shall be at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date the Option is granted. If the Shares are traded in a public market, then the Fair Market Value per share shall be, if the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the mean between the highest and lowest quoted selling prices thereof, or, if the Shares are not so listed, the mean between the closing "bid" and "asked" prices thereof, as applicable and as the Committee determines, on the day the Option is granted, as reported in customary financial reporting services.
      3. Exercise . No Option shall be exercised prior to the receipt by the Company of written notice of such exercise and of payment in full of the Option Price for the Shares to be purchased. Each such notice shall specify the number of Shares to be purchased and shall (unless the Shares are covered by a then current registration statement or a Notification under Regulation A under the Act) contain the Optionee's acknowledgment in form and substance satisfactory to the Company that (a) such Shares are being purchased for investment and not for distribution or resale (other than a distribution or resale which, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, may be made without violating the registration provisions of the Act), (b) the Optionee has been advised and understands that (i) the Shares have not been registered under the Act and are "restricted securities" within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act and are subject to restrictions on transfer and (ii) the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares under the Act or to take any action which would make available to the Optionee any exemption from such registration, (c) such Shares may not be transferred without compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and (d) an appropriate legend referring to the foregoing restrictions on transfer and any other restrictions imposed under the Option Documents may be endorsed on the certificates. Notwithstanding the above, should the Company be advised by counsel that issuance of Shares should be delayed pending (A) registration under federal or state securities laws or (B) the receipt of an opinion that an appropriate exemption therefrom is available, the Company may defer exercise of any Option granted hereunder until either such event in (A) or (B) has occurred.
      4. Medium of Payment . An Optionee shall pay for Shares subject to an Option (i) in cash, (ii) by certified check payable to the order of the Company, or (iii) by such other mode of payment as the Committee may approve, including payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board.
