3.3 LIMITATION ON SHARES. In no event shall any Participant be granted Rights to Purchase or Options in any one calendar year pursuant to which the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired thereunder exceeds 500,000 shares.

4. PLAN SHARES

4.1 SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN. The total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company which may be issued under the Plan at any given time shall not exceed a maximum of in the aggregate, the sum of (i) one million (1,000,000) shares of Common Stock, plus (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock that are available for grant under the 1989 and 1996 Incentive Stock Option, Nonqualified Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plans of the Company, or that from time to time become available due to the termination of any option granted by the Company under such plans; resulting, therefore, in a maximum of four million five hundred and forty-three thousand two hundred thirty-eight (4,543,238) shares of Common Stock under any circumstances, subject to adjustment as to the number and kind of shares pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. For purposes of this limitation, in the event that (a) all or any portion of any Option or Right to Purchase granted or offered under the Plan can no longer under any circumstances be exercised, or (b) any shares of Common Stock are reacquired by the Company pursuant to an Incentive Option Agreement, Nonqualified Option Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement, the shares of Common Stock allocable to the unexercised portion of such Option or such Right to Purchase, or the shares so reacquired, shall again be available for grant or issuance under the Plan.

4.2 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE. In the event that the outstanding shares of Common Stock are hereafter increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company by reason of a recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of shares, reclassification, stock dividend, or other change in the capital structure of the Company, then appropriate adjustments shall be made by the Administrator to the aggregate number and kind of shares subject to this Plan, and the number and kind of shares and the price per share subject to outstanding Option Agreements, Rights to Purchase and Stock Purchase Agreements in order to preserve, as nearly as practical, but not to increase, the benefits to Participants.

5. OPTIONS

5.1 OPTION AGREEMENT. Each Option granted pursuant to this Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement which shall specify the number of shares subject thereto, the Exercise Price per share, and whether the Option is an Incentive Option or Nonqualified Option. As soon as is practical following the grant of an Option, an Option Agreement shall be duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company to the Optionee to whom such Option was granted. Each Option Agreement shall be in such form and contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Administrator shall, from time to time, deem desirable, including, without limitation, the imposition of any rights of first refusal and resale obligations upon any shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to an Option Agreement. Each Option Agreement may be different from each other Option Agreement.

5.2 EXERCISE PRICE. The Exercise Price per share of Common Stock covered by each Option shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: (a) the Exercise Price of an Incentive Option shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date the Incentive Option is granted, (b) the Exercise Price of a Nonqualified Option shall not be less than 85% of Fair Market Value on the date the Nonqualified Option is granted, and (c) if the person to whom an Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder on the date of grant, the Exercise Price shall not be less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date the Option is granted.

5.3 PAYMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE. Payment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon exercise of an Option and may be made, in the discretion of the Administrator, subject to any legal restrictions, by: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) the surrender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Optionee that have been held by the Optionee for at least six (6) months, which surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise; (d) provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, a “same day sale” commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell a portion of the shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; (e) provided that a public market for the Common Stock exists, a “margin” commitment from the Optionee and an NASD Dealer whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the shares so purchased to the NASD Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the NASD Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the NASD Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price directly to the Company; or (f) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment or any other consideration or method of payment as shall be permitted by applicable corporate law.

5.4 TERM AND TERMINATION OF OPTIONS. The term and termination of each Option shall be as fixed by the Administrator, but no Option may be exercisable more than ten (10) years after the date it is granted. An Incentive Option granted to a person who is a 10% Stockholder on the date of grant shall not be exercisable more than five (5) years after the date it is granted.

5.5 VESTING AND EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. Each Option shall vest and be exercisable in one or more installments at such time or times and subject to such conditions, including without limitation the achievement of specified performance goals or objectives, as shall be determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that such Option shall become exercisable with respect to at least twenty percent (20%) of the shares subject to such Option each year over a five-year period.

5.6 ANNUAL LIMIT ON INCENTIVE OPTIONS. To the extent required for “incentive stock option” treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the Common Stock shall not, with respect to which Incentive Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the Company or any Affiliated Company become exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year, exceed $100,000.

5.7 RESTRICTIONS. No Option shall be assignable or transferable by the Optionee or Optionee’s successors except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and during the life of the Optionee shall be exercisable only by such Optionee. In the event of termination of a Participant’s employment, service as a director of the Company or as a Service Provider for any reason whatsoever (including death or disability) the Participant may exercise his or her Option, but only within such period of time as determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that in no event shall such period expire either (a) earlier than thirty (30) days following such termination in the case of a termination for other than death or disability, (b) earlier than six (6) months following the date of such termination in the case of a termination due to death or disability, or (c) later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement and, in any event, only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise such Option at the date of termination. If, at the date of termination, the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified in the Option Agreement, the Option shall terminate, and the shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. The Stock Option Agreement may provide, in the discretion of the Administrator, that the Company shall have the right, exercisable within ninety (90) days following the Participant’s termination of employment or service with the Company, at the discretion of the Administrator, to repurchase at the Fair Market Value, any shares which have been issued to such Participant as a result of the exercise of the Option; provided, however, such right to repurchase shall terminate at such time as the Company’s Common Stock becomes publicly traded.

5.8 RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. An Optionee or permitted transferee of an Option shall have no rights or privileges as a Stockholder with respect to any shares covered by an Option until such Option has been duly exercised and certificates representing shares purchased upon such exercise have been issued to such person.

6. RIGHTS TO PURCHASE

6.1 NATURE OF RIGHT TO PURCHASE. A Right to Purchase granted to an Offeree entitles the Offeree to purchase, for a Purchase Price determined by the Administrator, shares of Common Stock subject to such terms, restrictions and conditions as the Administrator may determine at the time of grant (“Restricted Stock”). Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, continued employment or the achievement of specified performance goals or objectives.

6.2 ACCEPTANCE OF RIGHT TO PURCHASE. An Offeree shall have no rights with respect to the Restricted Stock subject to a Right to Purchase unless the Offeree shall have accepted the Right to Purchase within ten (10) days (or such longer or shorter period as the Administrator may specify) following the grant of the Right to Purchase by making payment of the full Purchase Price to the Company in the manner set forth in Section 6.3 hereof and by executing and delivering to the Company a Stock Purchase Agreement. Each Stock Purchase Agreement shall be in such form, and shall set forth the Purchase Price and such other terms, conditions and restrictions of the Restricted Stock, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Plan, as the Administrator shall, from time to time, deem desirable. Each Stock Purchase Agreement may be different from each other Stock Purchase Agreement.

6.3 PURCHASE PRICE; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price per share of Restricted Stock covered by each Right to Purchase shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: (a) the Purchase Price shall be not less than 85% of Fair Market Value on the date the Right to Purchase is granted; and (b) if the person to whom the Right to Purchase is a 10% Stockholder on the date of grant, the Purchase Price shall not be less than 100% of Fair Market Value on the date the Right to Purchase is granted. Subject to any legal restrictions, payment of the Purchase Price upon acceptance of a Right to Purchase Restricted Stock may be made, in the discretion of the Administrator, by: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) the surrender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Offeree that have been held by the Offeree for at least six (6) months, which surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value as of the date of such exercise; (d) the Offeree’s promissory note in a form and on terms, including security arrangements, acceptable to the Administrator; (e) the cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Offeree; (f) the waiver of compensation due or accrued to the Offeree for services rendered; or (g) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment or any other consideration or method of payment as shall be permitted by applicable corporate law.

6.4 RIGHTS AS A STOCKHOLDER. Upon complying with the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, an Offeree shall have the rights of a Stockholder with respect to the Restricted Stock purchased pursuant to the Right to Purchase, including voting and dividend rights, subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions as are set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement. Unless the Administrator shall determine otherwise, certificates evidencing shares of Restricted Stock shall remain in the possession of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement.

6.5 RESTRICTIONS. Shares of Restricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by Participant or Participant’s successors except as specifically provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement or by the Administrator. In the event of termination of a Participant’s employment, service as a director of the Company or as a Service Provider for any reason whatsoever (including death or disability), the Stock Purchase Agreement may provide, in the discretion of the Administrator, that the Company shall have the right exercisable within ninety (90) days following such termination, at the discretion of the Administrator, to repurchase at Fair Market Value, any shares of Restricted Stock which have vested as of such date, on such terms as may be provided in the Stock Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that the right to repurchase shall terminate at such time as the Company’s Common Stock becomes publicly traded. Unvested shares of Restricted Stock may be repurchased by the Company at the original Purchase Price.

6.6 VESTING OF RESTRICTED STOCK. The Stock Purchase Agreement shall specify the date or dates, the performance goals or objectives which must be achieved, and any other conditions on which the Restricted Stock may vest; provided, however, that the Stock Purchase Agreement shall become exercisable with respect to at least twenty percent (20%) of the Restricted Stock each year over a five-year period.

6.7 DIVIDENDS. If payment for shares of Restricted Stock is made by promissory note, any cash dividends paid with respect to the Restricted Stock may be applied, in the discretion of the Administrator, to repayment of such note.

6.8 NONASSIGNABILITY OF RIGHTS. No Right to Purchase shall be assignable or transferable except by will or the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided by the Administrator.

8. CHANGE IN CONTROL

treatment than that applicable to Options granted under this Plan as of the date of its adoption, or to comply with provisions under applicable securities laws, including without limitation, Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

9.2 PLAN TERMINATION. Unless the Plan shall theretofore have been terminated, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date and no Options or Rights to Purchase may be granted under the Plan thereafter, but Option Agreements, Stock Purchase Agreements and Rights to Purchase then outstanding shall continue in effect in accordance with their respective terms.

10.1 WITHHOLDING. The Company shall have the power to withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable Federal, state, and local tax withholding requirements with respect to any Options exercised or Restricted Stock issued under the Plan.

11.2 NO ENLARGEMENT OF EMPLOYEE RIGHTS. This Plan is strictly a voluntary undertaking on the part of the Company and shall not be deemed to constitute a contract between the Company and any Participant to be consideration for, or an inducement to, or a condition of, the employment of any Participant. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be deemed to give the right to any Participant to be retained as an employee of the Company or any Affiliated Company or to interfere with the right of the Company or any Affiliated Company to discharge any Participant at any time.

11.3 APPLICATION OF FUNDS. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Option Agreements and Stock Purchase Agreements, except as otherwise provided herein, will be used for general corporate purposes.
