the authority:
(a) to determine the Recipients of Awards,
(b) to determine the number of shares to be covered by each Award,
(c) to determine the terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of Awards (including, without
limitation, whether any Option to be granted shall be an ISO or a NSO

(d) to determine the form of the consideration that may be used to
purchase shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any Option,

Recipient) to reflect terms not otherwise inconsistent with the Plan,
including amendments concerning vesting, acceleration, forfeiture, or

4
employment or service (or otherwise), based on such factors as the
Committee shall determine in its sole discretion.
4.3 The Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such
administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it
shall, from time to time, deem advisable, and to interpret the terms and
provisions of the Plan and any Award (and any agreements relating thereto

made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final
and binding on all persons, including the Company, any Subsidiary, and the
Recipients. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action
taken or decision made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award.
4.4 It is intended that the Plan comply with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act
and all interpretations of the Plan shall be consistent with such Rule and

as it deems advisable.

Eligible Independent Contractor. The Committee may grant ISOs to any
Employee. The Committee shall have the sole authority to select the
Recipients of Awards and the type of Award. Recipients of Awards shall be
selected by the Committee from among those Employees and Eligible
Independent Contractors who, in the opinion of the Committee, have the
capacity to contribute significantly to the long-term value-added
performance and growth of the Company or Subsidiary.
5.2 No award may be granted to an Employee or Eligible Independent Contractor
within six months of his expected retirement date (or expected date of
termination of employment or service).
6. Options.
-------
6.1 Options may be granted alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other
Awards. Options granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the
Committee may from time to time approve. The terms and conditions of each
Option granted under the Plan shall be specified by the Committee and shall
be set forth in a written agreement between the Company and the Optionee in
such form as the Committee shall approve (the "Option Agreement"). The
terms and conditions of each Option need not be identical to those of any
other Option granted hereunder. Each Option Agreement shall contain the
following terms and conditions, and such other terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the purpose of the Plan and the requirements of
applicable law, as the Committee shall determine:
(a) Each Option Agreement shall state the total number of shares of Common
Stock to which the Option relates.
5
(b) Each Option Agreement shall state the Option Price per share for the
Common Stock to which the Option relates, which shall not be less than
the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the date the
Option is granted, except for certain ISOs described in Subsection
6.1(j) hereof.
(c) Each Option Agreement shall state the expiration date of the Option to
which it relates, which date shall not be later than the tenth
anniversary of the date that the Option is granted, except for certain
ISOs described in Subsection 6.1(j) hereof. No Option may be
exercised by any person after expiration of the term of the Option.
(d) Each Option Agreement shall state the time or times at which Options
shall be exercisable and the terms and conditions applicable to such
exercise, all as determined by the Committee; provided, however, that
except as provided below in Section 6.1(f), (g) and (h) and in Section
11.1, and unless otherwise determined by the Committee at or after the
date of the grant, no Option shall be exercisable for a period of six
(6) months from the date of grant.
(e) Upon termination of an Optionee's employment or service with the
Company and Subsidiaries for reasons other than termination at or
after age 65, Disability or death, the Optionee's Option shall, unless
expressly provided otherwise in the Option Agreement, expire on the
date of such termination.
(f) If an Optionee's employment or service with the Company and
Subsidiaries terminates at or after age 65, then unless expressly
provided otherwise in the Option Agreement, the Optionee may exercise
the Option to the extent exercisable at the date of such termination
until the earlier of (i) the expiration date of the Option, or (ii)
the one hundred eightieth (180) day following such termination.
(g) In the event of the death of the Optionee while in the employment or
service of the Company or Subsidiary, then unless expressly provided
otherwise in the Option Agreement, the Option may be exercised, to the
extent the Optionee was entitled to do so on the date of his death, by
the person or persons to whom the Optionee's rights under the Option
pass by will or by applicable law, or if no such person has such
right, by his executors or administrators, until the earlier of (i)
the expiration date of the Option, or one (1) year after the
Optionee's death.
(h) If an Optionee's employment or service with the Company and
Subsidiaries terminates by reason of Disability, then unless expressly
provided otherwise in the Option Agreement, the Optionee may exercise
the Option to the extent exercisable at the date of such termination
until the earlier of (i) the expiration date of the Option, or (ii)
one (1) year after the date of such termination.
(i) The Option Price may be paid, as permitted by the Committee, in cash
or check (payable to the order of the Company), in shares of Common
Stock already owned by the Optionee having a total Fair Market Value
equal to the purchase price, by sale of shares of Common Stock
acquired in the exercise of an Option (to the extent
6
such cashless exercise is permitted by the Committee and under the
Rules), or any combination thereof approved by the Committee. If
payment of the exercise price of an Option is made in whole or in part
in shares of Common Stock already owned by the Optionee, the Committee
may require that the stock be owned for a period of at least six (6)
months. Following the exercise of an Option and the payment of the
full Option price, the Company shall issue a stock certificate
evidencing the Optionee's ownership of such Common Stock. No shares
shall be delivered pursuant to any exercise of an Option until payment
in full of the Option Price is received by the Company.
(j) Any Option intended to be an ISO shall be designated as such in the
applicable Option Agreement. No ISO shall be granted to any Employee
who, at the time the Option is granted, owns more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or
of its parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 424(e) of the
Code) or Subsidiary, unless the Option Price is at least 110% of the
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the ISO on the date
of grant and the Option by its terms is not exercisable after the
expiration of five years from the date the Option is granted. In
addition, as determined at the time an ISO is granted, the aggregate
Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to the ISO (under all
plans of the Company and of its parent corporation and Subsidiaries)
first exercisable in any calendar year shall not exceed one hundred
thousand dollars ($100,000).
(k) Options by their terms shall not be transferable other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, and during an Optionee's
lifetime, shall be exercisable only by the Optionee.
6.2 The Committee may, in its sole discretion, elect to cash out all or part of
the Common Stock to be exercised under an Option by paying the Optionee an
amount, in cash, equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the Common
Stock over the Option Price on the effective date of such exercise. If
this conversion right is exercised, an Optionee shall forfeit all other
rights associated with such converted Option.
7. Stock Appreciation Rights.
-------------------------
7.1 Grant of SARs. The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights separate
-------------
and apart from, or in tandem with, any Option granted under the terms of
the Plan. When granted in tandem with Options, SARs may be granted with
respect to all or part of the Common Stock under a particular Option, and
may be granted coincident with or after the date of grant of the related
Option.
7.2 Exercise of SARs. SARs may be exercised from time to time by written
----------------
notice from the holder thereof to the Company of the holder's intent to
exercise the SARs with respect to a specified number of shares. SARs shall
entitle the holder thereof, upon exercise, in whole or in part, to receive
payment in the amount and form determined pursuant to Section 7.3(c). SARs
granted in tandem with Options may be exercised only to the extent that the
related Option has not been exercised. The exercise of a tandem SAR shall
result
7
in a pro rata surrender of the related Option to the extent that the tandem
SAR has been exercised. Similarly, the exercise of a related Option shall
result in a pro rata surrender of the tandem SAR to the extent that the
Option has been exercised.
7.3 Terms and Conditions. The grant of SARs shall be evidenced by a written
--------------------
SAR agreement in a form approved by the Committee. Each SAR agreement
shall be consistent with the following express terms and conditions, and
shall include such other terms and conditions, consistent with the purposes
of the Plan and the requirements of applicable law, as the Committee shall
determine:
(a) SARs shall be exercisable at such time or times and only to the extent
specified in the SAR agreement. SARs shall in no event be exercisable
during the first six (6) months after the date of grant.
(b) SARs shall not be transferable other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, and during the holder's lifetime, shall be
exercisable only by the holder.
(c) Upon exercise of SARs, the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive
an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value per share
of Common Stock on the day preceding the exercise date over (ii) the
price per share stated in the SAR agreement for a SAR not granted in
tandem with an Option or the Option Price per share of any related
Option for a SAR granted in tandem with an Option, multiplied by the
number of shares in respect of which the SARs shall have been
exercised. Such amount shall be paid, as determined by the Committee,
in the form of (i) cash, (ii) shares of Common Stock with a Fair
Market Value on the day preceding the exercise date equal to such
amount, or (iii) a combination of cash and such Common Stock.
(d) In no event shall a SAR be exercisable at a time when the Fair Market
Value per share of Common Stock is less than the price per share
stated in the SAR agreement for a SAR not granted in tandem with an
Option or the Option Price per share of any related Option for a SAR
granted in tandem with an Option.
(e) SARs shall terminate in accordance with the rules in Section 6.1(c),
(e), (f), (g), and (h) hereof regarding termination of Options.
8. Restricted Stock.
----------------
8.1 Rights As A Stockholder. The grant of Restricted Stock shall be evidenced
-----------------------
by a Restricted Stock agreement issued in accordance with Section 8.2. The
Committee shall direct that a certificate or certificates for Restricted
Stock be issued to the grantee, and registered in the name of the grantee,
who shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to the
Restricted Stock subject to such restrictions set forth in the Restricted
Stock agreement. The certificate or certificates representing the
Restricted Stock shall be inscribed with a legend as to the restrictions on
sale, transfer, assignment, pledge or other encumbrance during the
restricted period as the Committee may impose, and may, if the
8
Committee in its sole discretion should direct, be delivered to and held
during the restricted period by the Company, together with a stock power
endorsed in blank by the grantee.
8.2 Restrictions. Each Restricted Stock agreement shall include such terms and
------------
conditions, including with respect to the restricted period, restrictions
on sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, or other encumbrance, forfeiture and
vesting, that are consistent with the purposes of the Plan and the
requirements of applicable law, as the Committee shall determine at the
time of granting the Restricted Stock. Any new, additional or different
shares or securities resulting from any change to the Common Stock under
Section 3.2 shall be subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions
contained in the Restricted Stock agreement to which the Restricted Stock
was subject immediately prior to such change. The Committee may, in its
discretion, remove, modify or accelerate the release of restrictions on any
Restricted Stock in the event of hardship or of Disability of the grantee
while employed or in the service of the Company or Subsidiary, or for such
other reasons as the Committee may deem appropriate in the event that the
grantee ceases to be in employment or service with the Company and
Subsidiaries. In the event of the grantee's death following the delivery
of Restricted Stock, the personal representative of the grantee's estate or
the person or persons to whom the Restricted Stock shall have passed by
bequest or the laws of descent and distribution shall take such Restricted
Stock subject to the same terms, conditions and restrictions in effect at
the time of the grantee's death, to the extent applicable.
9. Amendment and Termination.
-------------------------
The Board may amend or discontinue the Plan at any time and for any reason
(either by resolution or unanimous consent), but no amendment or
discontinuation shall be made which would impair a Recipient's rights under
an Award theretofore granted without the Recipient's consent, or which,
without approval of the Company's shareholders, would require shareholder
approval under the Rules.
The Committee may amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted,
prospectively or retroactively, but no such amendment shall impair the
rights of the Recipient of the Award without the Recipient's consent.
10. Unfunded Status of the Plan.
---------------------------
The Plan is an unfunded plan for incentive compensation. With respect to
any payments not yet made to a Recipient, the Recipient shall not have any
rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company. In
its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or
other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan and to
deliver Common Stock or payments in lieu thereof with respect to any
Awards.
9
11. General Provisions.
------------------
11.1 The Committee, in its sole discretion, may provide at the time of granting
any Award that the terms of the Award, including but not limited to, the
date on which an award vests or becomes exercisable, may be modified in the
event of a Change in Control.
11.2 Each Award may provide that the recipient shall deliver to the Committee,
upon demand by the Committee, at the time of delivery of any certificates
representing shares of Common Stock a written representation that the
shares are to be acquired for investment and not for resale or with a view
to the distribution thereof. Upon such demand, delivery of such
representation prior to delivery of any shares shall be a condition
precedent to the right of the Recipient (or any other person) to acquire
any shares.
11.3 Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other
or additional compensation arrangements (subject to shareholder approval,
if such shareholder approval is required) of general applicability or
otherwise.
11.4 Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon any Recipient any right to
continued employment or service with the Company or Subsidiary and shall
not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or Subsidiary to
terminate its relationship with any of its employees, directors or
independent contractors at any time.
11.5 No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in
the gross income of a Recipient for applicable income tax purposes with
respect to any Award, the Recipient shall pay to the Company or make
arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of any
federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld
with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee,
the minimum required withholding obligations may be settled with Common
Stock, including Common Stock that is subject to the Award that gives rise
to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the
Plan shall be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Company
shall to the extent permitted by law have the right to deduct any such
taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Recipient.
11.6 The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a
Recipient to designate a beneficiary to whom any amount payable in the
event of the Recipient's death are to be paid.
11.7 An Award shall be subject to the condition that any payment thereunder is
subject to any listing or registration of the shares of Common Stock
subject to the Award, any consent or approval of any governmental body, or
any other agreement or consent that the Committee determines is necessary
or desirable for such payment.
11.8 The actions of the Committee (including without limitation the
determination of Recipients and the terms and conditions of any Awards)
need not be uniform and may be undertaken selectively whether or not the
Recipients are similarly situated.
10
11.9 The existence of Awards shall not effect in any way the right or the
power of the Company or its shareholders to make or authorize any or all
adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations or other changes in the
Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or
consolidation of the Company, or any issue of bonds, debentures,
preferred or prior preference stocks ahead of or effecting the Common
Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or
business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar
character or otherwise.
11.10 The Plan shall be governed by and subject to all applicable laws and to
the approvals by any governmental agency as may be required.
11.11 If any provision of the Plan shall be illegal or invalid for any reason,
such illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions
of the Plan, but the Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such
illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.
11.12 In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as
directors or employees of the Company or Subsidiary, the members of the
Board and members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company
against the 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 thereof, 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 Award, and against all
amounts paid by them in settlement therefor (provided such settlement is
approved by independent legal counsel selected by the Company) or paid by
them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit or
proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be
adjudicated in such action, suit or proceeding, that such member is
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties;
provided that within sixty (60) days after institution of any such
action, suit or proceeding, a member shall in writing offer the Company
the opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same.
12. Effective Date and Term of the Plan.
-----------------------------------
The Plan shall become effective upon approval of the Plan by the
Company's shareholders. No Awards shall be granted pursuant to the Plan
on or after the tenth anniversary of the Plan's approval by shareholders,
but Awards granted prior to such date may extend beyond that date.
