ARTICLE VII - EXERCISE OF OPTION
7.01. Automatic Exercise.
Unless a Participant gives written notice to the Company as hereinafter provided, his option for the purchase of stock
with payroll deductions made during any Offering Period will be deemed to have been exercised automatically on the Offering
Termination Date applicable to such Offering Period, for the purchase of the maximum number of whole Shares which the
accumulated payroll deductions in his Account at that time will purchase at the applicable Option Price.

Fractional shares may not be issued under the Plan. Any funds in a Participant’s Account not applied to the purchase of
Shares shall remain in the Participant’s Account pending withdrawal or application to the purchase of Shares at the next Offering Termination Date.
7.03. Election Not to Exercise Option.
By written notice to the Committee at any time prior to the Offering Termination Date applicable to any Offering Period, a Participant may elect not to exercise any options granted to him with respect to such Offering Period. Any such election shall be deemed to be a withdrawal of all the accumulated payroll deductions in his Account at such time unless, pursuant to rules established by the Plan Administrator, the Participant elects to have the funds remain in his Account pending withdrawal or application to the purchase of Shares at the next Offering Termination Date.
7.04. Transferability of Option.
During a Participant’s lifetime, options held by such Participant shall be exercisable only by that Participant and no
Participant in the Plan shall have the right to assign his interest in the Plan.
7.05. Delivery of Stock; Nominee Record Holder.
As promptly as practicable after the Offering Termination Date of each Offering, the Company will deliver to each
Participant, as appropriate, the Shares purchased upon exercise of his option. As an alternative, the Plan Administrator may make arrangements with a brokerage firm to establish a brokerage account for each Participant to which Shares purchased for the Participant upon exercise of an option hereunder shall be credited and held for the Participant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the option of the Plan Administrator, the Shares purchased may be issued, whether in the form of stock certificates or in book entry form, in the name of a nominee (the “Nominee”) on behalf of all Participants or on behalf of all Participants to whom fewer than a specified number of Shares are to be issued. If Common Stock is issued to a Nominee on behalf of all or some Participants, then the following shall apply: (i) each such Participant shall have all ownership rights attributable to the ownership of such Common Stock on his behalf, and (ii) the Company and the Nominee shall cause separate book entries to be made in the name of the Participant or shall cause separate stock certificates to be issued in the name of and delivered to such a Participant upon the earliest to occur of his request for the Shares to be issued in his name, his termination of employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever or the termination of the Plan. The Nominee may offer Participants the right to sell all or a portion of the Shares allocated to them. In such event, a Participant may request the Nominee to sell the Shares allocated to such Participant and the Nominee shall remit to the Participant the proceeds of the sale, less the expenses of sale. The Company shall indemnify any such Nominee and hold it harmless from any and all actions, loss, damage or liability suffered by it as a result of serving as the Nominee for the Participants hereunder except to the extent caused by such Nominee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company shall have the right to remove and replace any Nominee. By prior written notice to the Company, the Nominee may resign. Any Nominee removed or resigning shall take such action as may be necessary or desirable to transfer to the successor Nominee selected by the Company all shares of Common Stock then in its name as Nominee.
7.06. Stock to be Issued/Purchased.
The Shares to be issued to Participant’s Accounts upon an Offering Termination Date may, at the Company’s option, be newly issued shares, treasury shares or the Company may direct an agent to purchase on the open market the number of Shares issuable to Participants on each Offering Termination Date. All costs associated with the purchase or issuance of Shares to be purchased by and allocated to Participants’ Accounts on each Offering Termination Date shall be borne by the Company.
4
7.07. Tax Withholding.
At the time any option is exercised, or at the time some or all of the Shares issued under the Plan are disposed of (or any other time that a taxable event related to the Plan occurs), the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s federal, state, local or any other tax liability payable to any authority, including social security or other tax withholding obligations, if any, that arise upon the exercise of the option or the disposition of the Common Stock (or any other time that a taxable event related to the Plan occurs). At any time, the Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company to meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Participant. In addition, the Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from the proceeds of the sale of Common Stock or use any other method of withholding the Company deems appropriate to the extent permitted by U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.423-2 (f).
7.08 Reporting of Accounts.
Individual accounts will be maintained for each Participant in the Plan. Statements of account will be given to Participants at least annually, which statements will set forth the amounts of Participant contributions, the per share purchase price for all options exercised for the benefit of the Participant, the number of Shares purchased and the remaining cash balance, if any.
ARTICLE VIII - WITHDRAWAL
8.01. In General.
A Participant may withdraw payroll deductions credited to his Account under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Plan Administrator. All of the Participant's payroll deductions credited to his Account will be paid to him promptly after receipt of his notice of withdrawal, and such Participant shall not be allowed to reparticipate or authorize further payroll deductions under the Plan until the beginning of the next Offering Period beginning after the date of the withdrawal notice unless the Plan Administrator allows otherwise.
8.02. Termination of Employment.
Upon termination of a Participant's employment for any reason, including retirement (but excluding death while in the
employ of the Company), all purchase options for such Participant shall terminate and the payroll deductions credited to his
Account will be returned to him.
8.03. Termination of Employment Due to Death.
Upon termination of the Participant's employment because of his death, his beneficiary (as defined in Section 12.01) shall have the right to elect, by written notice given to the Plan Administrator prior to the Offering Termination Date, either: (a) to withdraw all of the payroll deductions credited to the Participant's Account under the Plan, or (b) to exercise the Participant's
option for the purchase of Shares on the Offering Termination Date next following the date of the Participant's death for the
purchase of the number of whole Shares which the accumulated payroll deductions in the Participant’s Account at the date of the Participant’s death will purchase at the applicable option price, in which event, any excess in such Account will be returned to said beneficiary. In the event that no such written notice of election shall be duly received by the Plan Administrator, the beneficiary shall automatically be deemed to have elected, pursuant to clause (b), to exercise the Participant’s option to purchase Shares.
8.04. Leave of Absence.
A Participant on leave of absence shall, subject to the election made by such Participant pursuant to Section 5.04, continue to be a Participant in the Plan with respect to the amounts then in his Account so long as such Participant is on continuous leave of absence.

9.01. No Interest.
No interest will be paid or allowed on any money paid into the Plan or credited to the account of any Participant.
5
ARTICLE X - STOCK
10.01. Maximum Number of Shares.
The maximum number of Shares which shall be issued under the Plan, subject to adjustment upon changes in
capitalization of the Company as provided in Section 12.04, shall be 1,000,000 Shares for all Offerings. If the total number of
Shares for which options are exercised on any Offering Termination Date in accordance with Article VI exceeds the maximum
number of Shares available for purchase hereunder, the Plan Administrator shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares
available for delivery and distribution in as nearly a uniform manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine to be
equitable, and the balance of payroll deductions credited to the account of each Participant under the Plan shall be returned to
him as promptly as possible. For the purposes of clarifying, but not limiting, the authority of the Plan Administrator in the
preceding sentence, an equal allocation to each Participant or an allocation based on the relative amounts withheld would each
result in a uniform and equitable pro rata allocation.
10.02. Participant's Interest in Option Shares.
The Participant will have no interest in Shares covered by any option granted to him hereunder until such option has been exercised.
10.03. Registration of Stock.
Shares to be delivered to a Participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the Participant or in the name of
the Nominee for such Participant as provided in Section 7.05 hereof.
10.04. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares
Shares will not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of
such Shares pursuant thereto will comply with all applicable provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and the requirements of any stock
exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed. As a condition to the exercise of an option, the Company may require the
person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only
for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company,
such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions of law.
10.05 Additional Restrictions.
The terms and conditions of options granted hereunder to, and the purchase of Shares by, persons subject to
Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall comply with the applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3. This Plan shall be deemed to contain, and such options shall contain, and the Shares issued upon exercise thereof shall be subject to, such additional conditions and restrictions as may be required by Rule 16b-3 to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions.
ARTICLE XI - ADMINISTRATION

The Board of Directors shall appoint a committee (the “Committee”) to serve as the Plan Administrator to administer the Plan, which may consist of persons who may or may not be members of the Board of Directors.

Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall have plenary authority in its discretion to

11.03. Rules Governing the Administration of the Plan Administrator.
The Board of Directors may from time to time appoint members of the Committee in substitution for or in addition to

The Committee may select one of its members as its Chairman and shall hold its meetings at such times and places as it shall deemed advisable and may hold telephonic meetings. A majority of its members shall constitute a quorum. All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members. The Plan Administrator may correct any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable. Any decision or determination reduced to writing and signed by a majority of the members of the Committee shall be as fully effective as if it had been made by a majority vote at a meeting duly called and held. The Committee may appoint a secretary and shall make such rules and regulations for the conduct of its business as it shall deem advisable.
11.04. Notices.
All notices and other communications from a Participant to the Plan Administrator or Committee under, or in connection with, this Plan shall be deemed to have been filed with the Plan Administrator or Committee when actually received in the form specified by the Plan Administrator at the location and by the person designated by the Plan Administrator for the receipt of such notices and communications.

to receive Shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant
other than (i) by will or the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) Shares held by the Nominee for the benefit of such Participant as provided in Section 7.05 hereof. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Plan Administrator may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with the terms of the Plan.
12.03. Use of Funds.
All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions.

or been exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities of the Company through reorganization, merger,

12.06. Effective Date.
The Plan shall become effective as of the date approved by the Company’s stockholders.

8
12.13 Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision in the Plan and every option at any time granted under the Plan shall be interpreted
in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law or the Code, but if any provision of the Plan or any option at any time granted under the Plan shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law or Code Section 423, then such provision shall be deemed amended to accomplish the objectives of the provision as originally written to the fullest extent permitted by law, and all other provisions of the Plan and every other option at any time granted under the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.
