The Plan shall be administered by the

directors who shall be appointed by and serve at the pleasure of
the Board; provided, that if the Board delegates administration to
a Committee, such Committee shall have no authority for matters
under this Plan relating to or affecting non-employee directors,
and the Committee further shall have no authority for matters under
this Plan relating to or affecting Section 16 Officers except
the authority to make recommendations to the Board. The Board
further may subject such delegation to such additional restrictions
on authority as it may deem necessary and appropriate and
thereafter shall continue to have the power to take action with
respect to all matters pertaining to this plan with or without
recommendation of the Committee. As long as the Company’s
securities are registered pursuant to Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, then, to the extent
necessary for compliance with Rule 16b-3, or any successor
provision, each of the members of the Committee shall be a
‘Non-Employee Director.’ For purposes of this
paragraph, ‘Non-Employee Director’ shall have the same
meaning as set forth in Rule 16b-3, or any successor
provision, as then in effect, of the General Rules and Regulations
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Members of a
Committee, if established, shall be appointed from time to time by
the Board, shall serve at the pleasure of the Board and may resign
at any time upon written notice to the Board. A majority of the
members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The Committee
shall act by majority approval of its members, shall keep minutes
of its meetings and shall provide copies of such minutes to the
Board. Action of the Committee may be taken without a meeting if
unanimous written consent thereto is given. Copies of minutes of
the Committee’s meetings and of its actions by written
consent shall be provided to the Board and kept with the corporate
records of the Company.
In accordance with the provisions of
the Plan the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the
case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case of
Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) shall:
select the Optionees from Eligible Persons; determine the number of
shares of Common Stock to be subject to Options granted pursuant to
the Plan, the time at which such Options are granted, the Option
exercise price, Option period and the manner in which each such
Option vests or becomes exercisable; fix such other provisions of
such Options as are deemed necessary or desirable and as consistent
with the terms of the Plan; determine the form or forms of the
agreements with Optionees which shall evidence the particular
terms, conditions, rights and duties of the Company and the
Optionees under Options granted pursuant to the Plan; and otherwise
exercise authority, subject to the provisions of the Plan,
including establishing, adopting and revising such rules and
regulations relating to the Plan as may be deemed necessary or
advisable for the administration of the Plan. With the consent of
the Optionee affected thereby, the Board (upon recommendation of
the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the
Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors or
Section 16 Officers) may approve amendments or modifications
to the terms of any outstanding Incentive Stock Option or
Non-Statutory Stock Option in any manner, provided that the amended
or modified terms are permitted by the Plan as then in effect.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the
Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of
Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case of
Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) may
recommend to the Board or approve such amendments (as appropriate
within the terms of its appointment or Charter), with the consent
of the Optionee affected thereby, that modify the exercise price,
number of shares or other terms and conditions of an Option, extend
the term of an Option, accelerate the exercisability or vesting or
otherwise terminate any restrictions relating to an Option, extend,
renew or accept the surrender of any outstanding Option to
3
the
extent not previously exercised, and the Board (upon recommendation
of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the
Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors or
Section 16 Officers) may approve the grant of new Options in
substitution therefor to the extent not previously exercised.
Each determination, interpretation or
other action made or taken by the Board (upon recommendation of the
Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or the Committee
(in the case of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16
Officers) pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes and on all persons,
including, without limitation, the Company and its Subsidiaries,
the shareholders of the Company, the Committee and each of the
members thereof, the directors, officers and employees of the
Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Optionees and their
respective successors in interest. No member of the Committee shall
be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with
respect to the Plan or any Option granted under the Plan.
ARTICLE 4. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN
4.1 Number . The maximum
number of shares of Common Stock that shall be reserved for
issuance under the Plan shall be Four Million (4,000,000), subject
to adjustment upon changes in the capitalization of the Company as
provided in Section 4.3 below. Shares of Common Stock that may
be issued upon exercise of Options shall be applied to reduce the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock remaining available for
use under the Plan.
4.2 Unused Stock . Any shares
of Common Stock that are subject to an Option (or any portion
thereof) that lapses, expires or for any reason is terminated
unexercised shall automatically again become available for use
under the Plan.
4.3 Change in Shares, Adjustments,
Etc. If the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is
increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the
Company or of another corporation by reason of any reorganization,
merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares,
rights offering or any other change in the corporate structure or
shares of the Company, the Board (or, if the Company is not the
surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of
directors of the surviving corporation) shall make appropriate
adjustment as to the number and kind of securities subject to and
reserved under the Plan and, in order to prevent dilution or
enlargement of the rights of Optionees, the number and kind of
securities subject to outstanding Options. Any such adjustment in
any outstanding Option shall be made without change in the
aggregate purchase price applicable to the unexercised portion of
the Option but with an appropriate adjustment in the price for each
share or other unit of any security covered by the Option. However,
no change shall be made in the terms of any outstanding Incentive
Stock Options as a result of any such change in the corporate
structure or shares of the Company, without the consent of the
Optionee affected thereby, that would disqualify that Incentive
Stock Option from treatment under Section 422 of the Code or
would be considered a modification, extension or renewal of an
option under Section 424(h) of the Code.
ARTICLE 5. ELIGIBILITY
Incentive Stock Options or
Non-Statutory Stock Options shall be granted only to those Eligible
Persons who, in the judgment of the Board (upon recommendation of
the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or of the
Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors or
Section 16 Officers), are performing, or during the term of an
Option, will perform, vital services in the management, operation
and development of the Company or a Subsidiary, and significantly
contribute or are expected to significantly contribute to the
achievement of long-term corporate economic objectives.
Optionees
4
may be
granted from time to time one or more Incentive Stock Options
and/or Non-Statutory Stock Options under the Plan, in any case as
may be determined by the Board (upon recommendation of the
Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or by the
Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors or
Section 16 Officers) in its sole discretion. The number, type,
terms and conditions of Options granted to various Eligible Persons
need not be uniform, consistent or in accordance with any plan,
whether or not such Eligible Persons are similarly situated. The
Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of
Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case of
Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) may
grant both an Incentive Stock Option and a Non-Statutory Stock
Option to the same Optionee at the same time or at different times.
Incentive Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options, whether
granted at the same or different times, shall be deemed to have
been awarded in separate grants, shall be clearly identified, and
in no event will the exercise of one Option affect the right to
exercise any other Option or affect the number of shares of Common
Stock for which any other Option may be exercised. Upon
determination by the Board (upon recommendation of the Committee in
the case of Section 16 Officers) or by the Committee (in the
case of Optionees who are not directors or Section 16
Officers) that an Option is to be granted to an Optionee, written
notice shall be given such person specifying such terms,
conditions, rights and duties related thereto. Each Optionee shall
enter into an agreement with the Company, in such form as the Board
(upon recommendation of the Committee in the case of
Section 16 Officers) or the Committee (in the case of
Optionees who are not directors or Section 16 Officers) shall
determine and which is consistent with the provisions of the Plan,
specifying the terms, conditions, rights and duties of Incentive
Stock Options and Non-Statutory Stock Options granted under the
Plan. Options shall be deemed to be granted as of the date
specified in the grant resolution of the Board (upon recommendation
of the Committee in the case of Section 16 Officers) or of the
Committee (in the case of Optionees who are not directors or
Section 16 Officers), which date shall be the date of the
related agreement with the Optionee.
ARTICLE 6. DURATION AND EXERCISE
6.1 Manner of Option Exercise
. An Option may be exercised by an Optionee in whole or in part
from time to time, subject to the conditions contained herein and
in the agreement evidencing such Option, by delivery, in person or
through certified or registered mail, or written notice of exercise
to the Company at its principal executive office (Attention:
Secretary), and by paying in full the total Option exercise price
for the shares of Common Stock purchased in accordance with
Section 6.3. Such notice shall be in a form satisfactory to
the Company and shall specify the particular Option (or portion
thereof) that is being exercised and the number of shares with
respect to which the Option is being exercised. Subject to
Section 9.1, the exercise of the Option shall be deemed
effective upon receipt of such notice and p
