Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company, in its sole discretion, may extend and maintain, or mange for the extension and maintenance of credit to any Optionee to finance the Optionee’s purchase of shares pursuant to the exercise of any Stock Option, on such terms as may be approved by the Plan Administrator, subject to applicable regulations of the Federal Reserve Board and any other laws or regulations in effect at the time such credit is extended.

(d)  
Terms of Option. No Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of the earliest of: (a) ten years after the date the Option is granted, (b) three months after the date the Optionee's employment with the Company and its subsidiaries terminates, or a Non-Employee Director or Consultant ceases to provide services to the Company, if such termination or cessation is for any reason other than Disability or death, (c) one year after the date the Optionee's employment with the Company, and its subsidiaries, terminates, or a Non--Employee Director or Consultant ceases to provide services to the Company, if such termination or cessation is a result of death or Disability; provided, however, that the Option agreement for any Option may provide for shorter periods in each of the foregoing instances.

(e)  
Exercise of an Option. No Option shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the Optionee by any person other than the Optionee. Subject to the foregoing, the Plan Administrator shall have the power to set the time or times within which each Option shall be exercisable and to accelerate the time or times of exercise; provided however, the Option shall provide the right to exercise at the rate of at least 20% per year over five years from the date the Option is granted.

To the extent that an Optionee has the right to exercise an Option and purchase shares pursuant hereto, the Option may be exercised from time to time by written notice to the Company, stating the number of shares being purchased and accompanied by payment in full of the exercise price for such shares.

(f)  
No Transfer of Option. No Option shall be transferable by an Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(g)  
Limit on Incentive Stock Option.

To the extent the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Stock Option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee during any calendar year (under all Incentive Stock Option plans of the Company and any parent or subsidiary corporations) exceeds $100,000, such Stock Options shall be treated as Non--Qualified Stock Options. The determination of which Stock Options shall be treated as Non--Qualified Stock Options shall be made by taking Stock Options into account in the Order in which they were granted.

(h)  
Restriction on Issuance of Shares. The issuance of Options and shares shall be subject to compliance with all of the applicable requirements of law with respect to the issuance and sale of securities, including, without limitation, any required qualification under state securities laws. If an Optionee acquires shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of an Option, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may require as a condition of issuance of shares covered by the Option that the shares of Common Stock be subject to restrictions on transfer. The Company may place a legend on the share certificates reflecting the fact that they are subject to restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section. In addition, the Optionee may be required to execute a buy-sell agreement in favor of the Company or its designee with respect to all or any of the shares so acquired. In such event, the terms of any such agreement shall apply to the optioned shares.

(i)  
Investment Representation. Any Optionee may be required, as a condition of issuance of shares covered by his or her Option, to represent that the shares to be acquired pursuant to exercise will

be acquired for investment and without a view toward distribution thereof, and in such case, the Company may place a legend on the share certificate(s) evidencing the fact that they were acquired for investment and cannot be sold or transferred unless registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or unless counsel for the Company is satisfied that the circumstances of the proposed transfer do not require such registration.
 
(j)  
Rights as a Shareholder or Employee. An Optionee or transferee of an Option shall have no right as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares covered by any Option until the date of the issuance of a share certificate for such shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends (Ordinary or extraordinary, whether cash, securities, or other property), or distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such share certificate is issued, except as provided in paragraph (m) below. Nothing in the Plan or in any Option agreement shall confer upon any employee any right to continue in the employ of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or interfere in any way with any right of the Company or any subsidiary to terminate the Optionee's employment at any time.

(k) 
No Fractional Shares. In no event shall the Company be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise of an Option.

(l)  
Exercise in the Event of Death. In the event of the death of the Optionee, any Option or unexercised portion thereof granted to the Optionee, to the extent exercisable by him or her on the date of death, may be exercised by the Optionee's personal representatives, heirs, or legatees subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) above.

(m) 
Recapitalization or Reorganization of the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, appropriate and proportionate adjustments shall be made (1) in the number and class of shares subject to the Plan, (2) to the Option rights granted under the Plan, and (3) in the exercise price of such Option rights, in the event that the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company are increased or decreased as a result of a stock dividend (but only on Common Stock), stock split, reverse stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, separation, or like change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company. In the event there shall be any other change in the number or kind of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any stock or other securities into which such common stock shall have been changed, or for which it shall have been exchanged, whether by reason of a complete liquidation of the Company or a merger, reorganization, or consolidation with any other corporation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or the Company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation, then if the Plan Administrator shall, in its sole discretion, determine that such change equitably requires an adjustment to shares of Common Stock currently subject to Options under the Plan, or to prices or terms of outstanding Options, such adjustment shall be made in accordance with such determination.

To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to stock or securities of the Company, such adjustment shall be made by the Plan Administrator, the determination of which in that respect shall be final, binding, and conclusive. No right to purchase fractional shares shall result from any adjustment of Options pursuant to this Section. In case of any such adjustment, the shares subject to the Option shall he rounded down to the nearest whole share. Notice of any adjustment shall be given by the Company to each Optionee whose Options shall have been so adjusted and such
 
6

 
adjustment (whether or not notice is given) shall be effective and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

In the event of a complete liquidation of the Company or a merger, reorganization, or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or the Company becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of another corporation, any unexercised Options granted under the Plan shall be deemed cancelled unless the surviving corporation in any such merger, reorganization, or consolidation elects to assume the Options under the Plan or to issue substitute Options in place thereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Options would be cancelled in accordance with the foregoing, the Optionee shall have the right exercisable during a ten-day period ending on the fifth day prior to such liquidation, merger, or consolidation to exercise such Option in whole or in part without regard to any installment exercise provisions in the Option agreement.

(n)  
Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the Plan, the Plan Administrator may modify, extend or renew outstanding options granted under the Plan and accept the surrender of outstanding Options (to the extent not theretofore exercised). The Plan Administrator shall not, however, without the approval of the Board, modify any outstanding Incentive Stock Option in any manner that would cause the Option not to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing. no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights of the Optionee under the Option.

(o)  
Other Provisions. Each Option may contain such other terms, provisions, and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Plan Administrator.

8. Termination or Amendment of the Plan

The Board may at any time terminate or amend the Plan; provided that, without approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock of the Company represented and voting at a duly held meeting at which a quorum is present or the written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, there shall be (except by operation of the provisions of paragraph (m) above) no increase in the total number of shares covered by the Plan, no change in the class of persons eligible to receive options granted under the Plan, no reduction in the exercise price of Options granted under the Plan, and no extension of the latest date upon which Options may be exercised; and provided further that, without the consent of the Optionee, no amendment may adversely affect any then outstanding Option or any unexercised portion thereof.

9. Indemnification

In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board Committee that administers the Plan, the members of the Plan Administrator shall be indemnified by the Company against reasonable expense, including attorney's fees, actually and necessarily incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein to which they, or any of them, may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any Option granted thereunder, and against any and all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof (provided such settlement is approved by independent
 
7

 
legal counsel selected by the Company). In addition, such members shall be indemnified by the Company for any amount paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment in any action, suit, or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall have been adjudged that such member is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties, provided however that within 60 days after institution of any such action, suit, or proceeding, the member shall in writing offer the Company the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.

10.  
Effective Date and Term of the Plan

This Plan shall become effective (the "Effective Date") on the date of adoption by the board of directors as evidenced by the date and signature below.
