MEDICAL ACTION INDUSTRIES
INC.
1989 NON-QUALIFIED STOCK
OPTION PLAN, AS AMENDED
(a) The purpose and effect of
this plan (the “Plan”) is to induce officers, directors
and other senior executives and management and supervisory
personnel of and consultants to Medical Action Industries Inc., a
Delaware corporation (“Medical Action”) and its
subsidiaries (Medical Action and its subsidiaries being hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Company”), who are in
a position to make material contributions to the Company’s
success, to remain in the service of the Company, to offer them
incentives and rewards in recognition of their share in the
Company’s progress, and to encourage them to continue to
promote the best interests of the Company through the grant to them
of options (the “Options”) for the purchase of Common
Stock, $.001 par value, of Medical Action (the “Common
Stock”). The Plan is also intended to aid the Company in
competing with other enterprises for the services of new senior
executives needed to help insure continued development. For
purposes of this Plan, the term “subsidiaries” shall
include all corporations at least 50% of the voting stock of which
is owned directly or indirectly by Medical Action.
(b) In the event that this
Plan is not approved by the stockholders of Medical Action, the
Plan and all Options granted and to be granted hereunder shall be
null and void, and the Company shall have no obligation of any
nature whatsoever to any employee, director or other person arising
out of either the Plan or any Options granted or to be granted
thereunder.
(a) The Plan shall be
administered by the Board of Directors of Medical Action (the
“Board”), provided however, that the Board may, in the
exercise of its discretion, designate from among its members a
Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) consisting of
no fewer than three directors, each of whom shall be a
“disinterested person” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3
(or any successor rule or regulation) promulgated under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange
Act”), and may delegate to the Committee full power and
authority, subject to such orders or resolutions not inconsistent
with the provisions of the Plan as may from time to time be issued
or adopted by the Board, to interpret the provisions and supervise
the administration of the Plan. Any member of the Committee may be
removed at any time either with or without cause by resolution
adopted by the Board, and any vacancy on the Committee may at any
time be filled by resolution adopted by the Board. Any or all
powers and functions of the Committee may at any time and from time
to time be exercised by the Board; provided, however, that with
respect to the participation in the Plan of persons who are members
of the Board, such powers and functions of the Committee may be
exercised by the Board only if, at the time of such exercise, a
majority of the members of the entire Board and a majority of the
directors acting in the particular matter are “disinterested
persons” within the meanings of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under
the Exchange Act.
(b) Each Option shall be
evidenced by an Option Agreement that shall contain terms and
conditions (consistent with the terms and conditions of this Plan)
as may be approved by the Board or the Committee, as the case may
be, and shall be signed by an officer of Medical Action and the
optionee (the “Optionee”).
(c) Subject to an applicable
provision of Medical Action’s By-Laws, all decisions made by
the Board or the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan
and related orders or resolutions of the Board shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company,
stockholders, employees and Optionees.

Shares Subject to the Plan |
(a) The shares of Common
Stock to be delivered upon the exercise of Options granted under
the Plan shall be made available, at the discretion of the Board,
either from the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock or
from shares of Common Stock reacquired by Medical Action and held
in treasury.
(b) Subject to adjustments
made pursuant to provisions of Paragraph (c) of this
Section 3, the aggregate number of shares to be delivered upon
exercise of all Options that may be granted under this Plan shall
be 2,650,000 shares. If an Option granted under the Plan
shall expire or terminate for any reason during the term of the
Plan, the shares subject to but not delivered under such Option
shall be available for the grant of other Options. The foregoing
notwithstanding, no person may be granted Options in any calendar
year to purchase shares of Common Stock which in the aggregate have
a fair market value of more than $100,000.
(c) In the event of a merger,
reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, stock dividend,
stock split, or other change in corporate structure affecting the
Common Stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the aggregate
number of shares subject to the Plan and in the number of shares
subject to unexercised Options previously granted under the
Plan.
