COMMITTEE. The Committee, if appointed by the Board, will administer this Plan. If the Board, in its discretion, does not appoint such a committee, the Board itself will administer this Plan and take such other actions as the Committee is authorized to take hereunder; provided that the Board may take such actions hereunder in the same manner as the Board may take other actions under the Company's articles of incorporation and by-laws generally. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. Action of such Committee may be taken without a meeting if unanimous written consent is given. Such committee shall act by majority approval of the members, shall keep minutes of its meetings and written action, and shall provide copies of such minutes to the Board. Copies of the minutes and written action shall be kept with the written records of the Company. From and after the date on which the Company first registers a class of its equity securities under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Plan shall be administered by the Board, all of whom shall be "disinterested persons" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act, or a committee consisting solely of not fewer than two members of the Board who are such "disinterested persons." B. AUTHORITY AND DISCRETION OF COMMITTEE. The Committee will have full and final authority in its discretion, at any time - 4 - and from time to time, subject only to the express terms, conditions and other provisions of the Company's articles of incorporation, by-laws and this Plan, and the specific limitations on such discretion set forth herein: 1. to select and approve the persons who will be granted Options under this Plan from among the Eligible Participants, and to grant to any person so selected one or more Options to purchase such number of shares of Option Stock as the Committee may determine; 2. to determine the period or periods of time during which Options may be exercised, the Option Price and the duration of such Options, and other matters to be determined by the Committee in connection with specific Option grants and Option Agreements as specified under this Plan; 3. to interpret this Plan, to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to this Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the operation and administration of this Plan; and 4. to delegate all or a portion of its authority under subsections 1, 2 and 3 of this Section III to one or more directors of the Company who are executive officers of the Company, but only in connection with Options granted to Eligible Participants who are not subject to the reporting and liability provisions of Section 16 of the 1934 Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder, and subject to such restrictions and limitations (such as the aggregate number of shares of Option Stock called for by such Options that may be granted) as the Committee may decide to impose on such delegate directors. C. LIMITATION ON AUTHORITY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any other provision of this Plan, the Committee will have no authority: 1. to grant Options to any of its members, whether or not approved by the Board; and 2. to determine any matters, or exercise any discretion, in connection with the Options, to the extent that the power to make such determinations or to exercise such discretion would cause one or more members of the Committee no longer to be "disinterested persons" within the meaning of Section III.A. above. - 5 - D. DESIGNATION OF OPTIONS. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Committee will designate any Option granted hereunder as an NSO. E. OPTION AGREEMENTS. Options will be deemed granted hereunder only upon the execution and delivery of an Option Agreement by the Optionee and a duly authorized executive officer of the Company. Options will not be deemed granted hereunder merely upon the authorization of such grant by the Committee. IV. Shares Reserved for Options A. OPTION POOL. The aggregate number of shares of Option Stock that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted under this Plan shall be Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand (750,000) (the "Option Pool"), provided that such number will be increased by the number of shares of Option Stock that the Company subsequently may reacquire through repurchase or otherwise. Shares of Option Stock that would have been issuable pursuant to Options, but that are no longer issuable because all or part of those Options have terminated or expired, will be deemed not to have been issued for purposes of computing the number of shares of Option Stock remaining in the Option Pool and available for issuance. The maximum number of shares authorized may also be increased from time to time by approval of the Board and, if required pursuant to Rule 16b-3 under the 1934 Act, Section 422 of the Code, or the applicable rules of any securities exchange or NASDAQ and/or NASD, the shareholders of the Company. B. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK. In the event of any change in the outstanding Stock of the Company as a result of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination or reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation, rights offering, extraordinary dividend or divesture (including a spin-off) or any other change in the corporate structure or shares of the Company, appropriate proportionate adjustments will be made (in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of Eligible Participants) in: (1) the aggregate number of shares of Option Stock in the Option Pool that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options granted hereunder; (2) the Option Price and the number of shares of Option Stock called for in each outstanding Option granted hereunder; and (3) other rights and matters determined on a per share basis under this Plan or any Option Agreement hereunder. Any such adjustments will be made only by the Board (or, if the Company is not the surviving corporation in any such transaction, the board of directors of the surviving corporation), and when so made will be effective, conclusive and binding for all purposes with respect to - 6 - this Plan and all options then outstanding. No such adjustments will be required by reason of the issuance or sale by the Company for cash or other consideration of additional shares of its Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of its Stock. V. Terms of Stock Option Agreements Each Option granted pursuant to this Plan will be evidenced by an agreement (an "Option Agreement") between the Company and the person to whom such Option is granted, in form and substance satisfactory to the Committee in its sole discretion, consistent with this Plan. Without limiting the foregoing, each Option Agreement (unless otherwise stated therein) will be deemed to include the following terms and conditions: A. COVENANTS OF OPTIONEE. At the discretion of the Committee, the person to whom an Option is granted hereunder, as a condition to the granting of the Option, must execute and deliver to the Company a confidential information agreement approved by the Committee. Nothing contained in this Plan, any Option Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the granting of an Option under this Plan will confer upon any Optionee any right with respect to the continuation of his or her status as an employee of, officer of, or director of, the Company or its subsidiaries. B. VESTING. An Option shall become exercisable at such times and in such installments (which may be cumulative) as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion at the time the Option is granted. Upon the completion of its exercise period, an Option, to the extent not then exercised, shall expire. C. EXERCISE OF THE OPTION. 1. MECHANICS AND NOTICE. An Option may be exercised to the extent exercisable (a) by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of full shares of Option Stock to be purchased and accompanied by full payment of the Option Price thereof and the amount of withholding taxes pursuant to subsection V.C.2 below; and (b) by giving assurances satisfactory to the Company that the shares of Option Stock to be purchased upon such exercise are being purchased for investment and not with a view to resale in connection with any distribution of such shares in violation of the 1933 Act; provided, however, that in the event the Option Stock called for under the Option is registered under the 1933 Act, or in the event resale of such Option Stock - 7 - without such registration would otherwise be permissible, this second condition will be inoperative if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such condition is not required under the 1933 Act, or any other applicable law, regulation or rule of any governmental agency. 2. WITHHOLDING TAXES. As a condition to the issuance of the shares of Option Stock upon full or partial exercise of an Option granted under this Plan, the Optionee will pay to the Company in cash, or in such other form as the Committee may determine in its discretion, the amount of the Company's tax withholding liability required in connection with such exercise. For purposes of this subsection V.C.2, "tax withholding liability" will mean all federal and state income taxes, social security tax, and any other taxes applicable to the compensation income arising from the transaction required by applicable law to be withheld by the Company. 3. PAYMENT OF OPTION PRICE. Each Option Agreement will specify the Option Price with respect to the exercise of Option Stock thereunder, to be fixed by the Committee in its discretion, but in no event will the Option Price for an NSO granted hereunder be less than eighty-five (85%) percent of Fair Market Value. The Option Price will be payable to the Company in United States dollars in cash or by check or, such other form of consideration as may be approved by the Committee, in its discretion. In determining whether or upon what terms and conditions an Eligible Participant will be permitted to pay the purchase price of an Option in a form other than cash, the Committee may consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including, without limitation, the tax and securities law consequences to the Company. In the event the Eligible Participant is permitted to pay the purchase price of an Option in whole or in part with Previously Acquired Shares and/or the surrender of Options, the value of such Previously Acquired Shares and/or the shares covered by such Options shall be equal to their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise of the Option. D. TERMINATION OF THE OPTION. Except as otherwise provided herein, each Option Agreement will specify the period of time, to be fixed by the Committee in its discretion, during which the Option granted therein will be exercisable, not to exceed ten years from the date of grant in the case of an NSO (the "Option Period"). To the extent not previously exercised, each Option will terminate upon the expiration of the Option Period specified in the Option Agreement; provided, however, that each such Option will terminate, if earlier: (i) ninety days after the date that the Optionee ceases - 8 - to be an Eligible Participant for any reason, other than by reason of death or disability; (ii) twelve months after the date that the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of such person's death or disability; or (iii) twelve months after the date that the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of such person termination of service as a advisor or consultant. In the event of a sale or all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or a merger or consolidation or other reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving corporation, or in which the Company becomes a subsidiary of another corporation (any of the foregoing events, a "Corporate Transaction") , then notwithstanding anything else herein, the successor corporation must agree to assume the outstanding Options or substitute therefor comparable options of such successor corporation or a parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation. Unless the committee shall otherwise determine in its sole discretion, an Eligible Participant's service shall, for purposes of the Plan, be deemed to have terminated on the date such Eligible Participant ceases to perform services for the Company and all Subsidiaries, as determined in good faith by the Committee. E. OPTIONS NONTRANSFERABLE. No Option will be transferable by the Optionee otherwise than by (i) will or the laws of descent and distribution, (ii) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as defined by the Code), or (iii) if the Optionee is a corporation, limited liability company, or partnership, distribution to the shareholders or partners thereof. During the lifetime of the Optionee, the Option will be exercisable only by him/her/it, or the transferee if it was transferred pursuant to this subpart. F. QUALIFICATION OF STOCK. The right to exercise an Option will be further subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Option Stock called for thereunder upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the granting of such Option or the purchase of shares of Option Stock thereunder, the Option may not be exercised, in whole or in part, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval is effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board, in its discretion. G. ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. By accepting Options and/or Option Stock under this Plan, the Optionee will be deemed to represent, warrant and agree as follows: - 9 - 1. SECURITIES ACT OF 1933. The Optionee understands that the shares of Option Stock have not been registered under the 1933 Act, and that such shares are not freely tradeable and must be held indefinitely unless such shares are either registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Optionee understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the shares of Option Stock. 2. OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS. The Optionee further understands that Transfer of the Option Stock requires full compliance with the provisions of all applicable law. 3. INVESTMENT INTENT. Unless a registration statement is in effect with respect to the sale of Option Stock obtained through exercise of Options granted hereunder: (a) Upon exercise of any Option, the Optionee will purchase the Option Stock for his/her/its own account and not with a view to distribution within the meaning of the 1933 Act, other than as may be effected in compliance with the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (b) no one else will have any beneficial interest in the Option Stock; and (c) he/ she/it has no present intention of disposing of the Option Stock at any particular time. H. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, Options may be granted pursuant to this Plan, and Option Stock may be issued pursuant to the exercise thereof by an Optionee, only after there has been compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and all of the same will be subject to this overriding condition. The Company will not be required to register or qualify Option Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any State agency, except that the Company will register with, or as required by local law, file for and secure an exemption from such registration requirements from, the applicable securities administrator and other officials of each jurisdiction in which an Eligible Participant would be granted an Option hereunder prior to such grant. I. STOCK CERTIFICATES. Certificates representing the Option Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Options will bear all legends required by law and necessary to effectuate this Plan's provisions. The Company may place a "stop transfer" order against shares of the Option Stock until all restrictions and conditions set forth in this Plan have been complied with. Unless a registration statement under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws is in effect with respect to the issuance or transfer of the shares of Stock under the Plan, each - 10 - certificate representing any such shares shall be endorsed with a legend in substantially the following form, unless counsel for the Company is of the opinion as to any such certificate that such legend is unnecessary: THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THESE SECURITIES HAVE ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS, THE AVAILABILITY OF WHICH IS TO BE ESTABLISHED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE COMPANY. J. NOTICES. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of an Option Agreement will be addressed to the Company at its principal executive office, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or at such other address as the Company may designate in writing. Any notice to be given to an Optionee will be addressed to the Optionee at the address provided to the Company by the Optionee. Any such notice will be deemed to have been duly given if and when enclosed in a properly sealed envelope, addressed as aforesaid, registered and deposited, postage and registry fee prepaid, in a post office or branch post office regularly maintained by the United States Government. K. OTHER PROVISIONS. The Option Agreement may contain such other terms, provisions and conditions, including such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other restrictions on Transfer of Option Stock issued upon exercise of any Options granted hereunder, not inconsistent with this Plan, as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. L. RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. The Eligible Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares of Company Common Stock covered by an Option until the Optionee shall have become the holder of record of such shares. M. EMPLOYMENT OF SERVICE. Nothing in this Plan shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the service of any Eligible Participant at any time, nor confer upon any Eligible Participant any right to continue in the service of the Company or any Subsidiary. N. NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN. Nothing contained in the Plan is intended to amend, modify or rescind any previously approved compensation plans or programs entered into by the - 11 - Company. The Plan will be construed to be in addition to any and all other plans or programs. Neither the adoption of the plan nor the submission of the Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval will be construed as creating any limitations on the power or authority of the Board to adopt such additional or other compensation arrangements as the Board may deem necessary or desirable. VI. Proceeds from Sale of Stock Cash proceeds from the sale of shares of Option Stock issued from time to time upon the exercise of Options granted pursuant to this Plan will be added to the general funds of the Company and as such will be used from time to time for general corporate purposes. VII. Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of this Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Options granted under this Plan, or accept the surrender of outstanding Options (to the extent not theretofore exercised) and authorize the granting of new Options in substitution therefor (to the extent not theretofore exercised). Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no modification of any Option will, without the consent of the holder of the Option, alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted under this Plan. VIII. Amendment and Discontinuance The Board may amend, suspend or discontinue this Plan at any time or from time to time; provided further that no such action may, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, materially increase (other than by reason of an adjustment pursuant to Section IV.B hereof) the maximum aggregate number of shares of Option Stock in the option Pool that may be issued under Options granted pursuant to this Plan or materially increase the benefits accruing to Plan participants or materially modify eligibility requirements for the participants. Moreover, no such action may alter or impair any Option previously granted under this Plan without the consent of the holder of such Option. IX. Plan Compliance with Rule 16b-3 With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act, transactions under this plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the - 12 - 1934 Act. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Plan administrators fails so to comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Plan administrators. X. Miscellaneous A. CONSTRUCTION AND HEADINGS. The use of the masculine gender shall also include within its meaning the feminine, and the singular may include the plural and the plural may include the singular, unless the context clearly indicates to the contrary, the headings of the Sections and subparts of the Plan are for convenience of reading only and are not meant to be of substantive significance and shall not add or detract from the meaning of such Section or subpart. B. GOVERNING LAW. The place of administration of the Plan shall be conclusively deemed to be within the State of Minnesota, and the rights and obligations of any and all persons having or claiming to have had an interest under the Plan or under any agreements evidencing Options shall be governed by and construed exclusively and solely in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota without regard to the conflict of laws provisions of any jurisdiction. All parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of Minnesota with respect to matters relating to the Plan and agree not to raise or assert the defense that such forum is not convenient for such party. C. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Plan shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Company, including without limitation, whether by way of merger, consolidation, operation of law, assignment, purchase or other acquisition of substantially all of the assets or business of the Company, and any and all such successors and assigns shall absolutely and unconditionally assume all of the Company's obligations under the Plan. D. SURVIVAL OF PROVISIONS. The rights, remedies, agreements, obligations and covenants contained in or made pursuant to the plan, any agreement evidencing an Option and any other notices or agreements in connection therewith, including, without limitation, any notice of exercise of an Option, shall survive the execution and delivery of such notices and agreements and the delivery and receipt of shares of common stock and shall remain in full force and effect. - 13 - XI.
