If prior to the Expiration Date any Stock Rights or Options granted under the Plan expire because of non-exercise, or are terminated prior to exercise pursuant to the provisions of the Plan, the Shares subject to such Stock Rights or Options shall again become available for the grant of Stock Rights or Options under the Plan (unless in the meantime the Plan has been terminated).

ARTICLE VI

ELIGIBILITY

Stock Rights and Options may be granted under the Plan only to persons who are designated as Key Persons of the Company or its Subsidiaries by the Board whether or not such persons are salaried employees of the Company. However, Key Persons who are not also employees of the Company are not eligible to receive qualified Incentive Stock Options.

ARTICLE VII

OPTION PRICE; VESTING

The option price for any Option granted under the Plan shall be the Fair Market Value Price of the Shares at the day of grant. Vesting shall be as set forth in the Option Agreement or Stock Rights Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

GRANTING OF OPTIONS AND STOCK RIGHTS

A. The Board may at any time prior to the Expiration Date grant to Key Persons Stock Rights and Options to purchase Shares under the Plan.

B. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by an Option Agreement between the Key Person and the Corporation which clearly identifies the type of Option granted (Incentive Stock Option or Non-Qualified Option) and shall contain provisions not inconsistent with the Plan. Each Option grant shall be approved by the Board. Key Persons may be granted Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Options. The terms and conditions of such Option Agreements need not be the same in each case and may be changed from time to time by the Board. Anything in this agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, with respect to Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the Date of Grant of such Option) of the Shares which are exercisable for the first time by a Key Person during any calendar year under the Plan (or any other plan adopted by the Company) shall not exceed $100,000.

C. Each grant of Stock Rights under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Rights Agreement or Subscription Agreement between the Key Person and the Corporation which clearly identifies the terms and conditions of the Stock Right and shall contain provisions not inconsistent with the Plan. Each Stock Right granted shall be approved by the Board. The terms and conditions of such Stock Rights Agreements need not be the same in each case and may be changed from time to time by the Board.

ARTICLE IX

TERMS OF OPTIONS AND STOCK RIGHTS

A. The Board shall determine the time or times Stock Rights will be granted and when Options shall be exercisable and conditions that need to be satisfied in order for an Option to be exercised or stock to be issued pursuant to Stock Rights.

B. An outstanding Option or Stock Right may, in the sole discretion of the Board, be modified or amended with respect to the time or times when such Stock Right or Option becomes exercisable, provided such Stock Right or Option as so modified is not less favorable to the Key Person.

C. Options shall terminate upon the first to occur of the following events:

1. Termination of the Option as provided in the Option Agreement; or

2. Termination of the Option as provided in Articles X and XI; or

3. Expiration of or earlier termination of the Plan.

D. Stock Rights shall terminate in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Stock Rights Agreement or Subscription Agreement but in no event later than the Expiration Date.

E. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Board may impose, by rule, resolution or Agreement, such conditions upon the exercise of Options or grant of Stock Rights (including, without limitation, conditions limiting the time of exercise to specified periods) as may be required to satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, including, without limitation, Rule 16b-3 (or any successor rule) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE X

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO ISSUANCE

OF STOCK RIGHTS AND GRANTS OF OPTIONS

All grants of Stock Rights and Options shall be subject to the following provisions:

A. The Company’s right to terminate the employment or engagement of the Key Person for any reason, with or without cause, and without liability to the Key Person with respect to any Stock Rights or Options shall be unrestricted.

B. Upon each exercise of an Option, the purchase price for the Shares being purchased shall be payable in full to the Company, in cash, or by certified check or wire transfer.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, permit the issuance of Shares pursuant to an Option upon such other payment terms as the Board deems reasonable.

D. Shares issued shall be represented by a separate stock certificate issued by the Company.

E. No fractional Shares shall be issued.

F. No Option or Stock Right to receive Shares shall be transferable by the Key Person other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Stock Rights or Options may be exercised only by the Key Person, or by his, her, or its Personal Representative.

G. No person shall have the right and privileges of a Shareholder of the Company with respect to Shares subject to, purchased, or received under an Option or a Stock Right until the date of issue of such Shares.

H. No Shares may be issued unless, and until any applicable requirements of the Commission and any other regulatory agencies having jurisdiction shall have been fully met. As a condition precedent to the issuance of Shares, the Company may require the Key Person to take any reasonable action to meet such requirements, including representing to or otherwise satisfying the Company that (i) the Key Person understands that the Company has no obligation to register under the Securities Act, any state securities laws, or the laws of any other applicable jurisdiction any of the Shares issuable upon exercise of Options or issuance of Shares pursuant to Stock Rights and that such Shares may have to be held indefinitely until so registered or unless an exemption from such registration is available; (ii) the Key Person is receiving or purchasing the Shares as an investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any of them; and (iii) the Key Person will not dispose of such Shares absent compliance with any such requirements or receipt by the Company of a written opinion of its counsel that the circumstances of such proposed sale do not require such compliance; provided, however, that with respect to any Shares issued hereunder that have been registered with the Commission, no investment representation by the Key Person shall be required by the Company; and, provided further, that in the event that the Shares issued to the Key Person pursuant to Options or Stock Rights hereunder are subsequently registered with the Commission, any investment representation theretofore furnished to the Company as to such Shares will be inoperative. The Company may endorse certificates representing Shares with a legend indicating any restrictions on the transfer thereof resulting from applicable securities laws or otherwise.

I. 1. Whenever the Company proposes or is required to issue Shares to a Key Person under the Plan, the Company shall have the right to require the Key Person to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, and local withholding tax requirements prior to the delivery of any certificate or certificates for such Shares. If such certificates have been delivered prior to the time a withholding obligation arises, the Company shall have the right to require the Key Person to remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, or local withholding tax requirements at the time such obligation arises and to withhold from other amounts payable to the Key Person, as compensation or otherwise, as necessary. Whenever payments under the Plan are to be made to a Key Person in cash, such payments shall be net of any amounts sufficient to satisfy all federal, state, and local withholding tax obligation.

2. In connection with the issuance of Shares a Key Person may elect to satisfy his, her, or its tax withholding obligation incurred with respect to the issuance of Shares by (a) directing the Company to withhold a portion of the Shares otherwise distributable to the Key Person, or (b) by transferring to the Company a certain number of Shares owned, such Shares being valued at the Fair Market Value Price thereof on the taxable date. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, a Key Person’s election pursuant to the preceding sentence (a) must be made on or prior to the taxable date with respect to such issuance of Shares, and (b) must be irrevocable. In lieu of a separate election on each taxable date of an issuance of Shares, a Key Person may make a blanket election with the Board that shall govern all future taxable dates until revoked by the Key Person.

3. If the holder of Shares purchased in connection with the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option disposes of such Shares within two years of the date such Incentive Stock Option was granted or within one year of such exercise, he, she, or it shall notify the Company of such disposition and remit an amount necessary to satisfy applicable withholding requirements including those arising under federal income tax laws. If such holder does not remit such amount, the Company may withhold all or a portion of any salary or other compensation then or in the future owed to such holder as necessary to satisfy such requirements. Taxable date means the date a Key Person recognized income under the Code or any applicable federal, state, or other income tax law with respect to an issuance of Shares.

J. 1. If at any time any Shareholder desires to sell, encumber, or otherwise dispose of Shares distributed to him, her, or it under this Plan other than if the Shares have been registered with the Commission, the Shareholder shall first offer the Shares to the Company by giving the Company written notice disclosing: (a) the name of the proposed transferee of the Shares; (b) the certificate number and number of Shares proposed to be transferred or encumbered; (c) the proposed price; (d) all other terms of the proposed transfer; and (e) a written copy of the proposed offer. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Company shall have the option to purchase all or part of such Shares at the same price and on the same terms as contained in such notice.

2. If the Company (or a Shareholder, as described below) does not exercise the option to purchase Shares, as provided in J.1 above, the person shall have the right to sell, encumber, or otherwise dispose of his, her, or its Shares on the same terms of transfer as set forth in the written notice to the Company, provided such transfer is effective within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Company's option to purchase period. If the transfer is not effected within such period, the Company must again be given an option to purchase, as provided above.

3. The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may waive the Company’s right of first refusal pursuant to this Section and the Company’s repurchase right pursuant to Section K below. If the Company’s right of first refusal or repurchase right is so waived, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, pass through such right to the remaining Shareholders of the Company in the same proportion that each Shareholders’ share ownership bears to the Share ownership of all the Shareholders of the Company, as determined by the Board of Directors. To the extent that a Shareholder has been given such right and does not purchase his, her, or its allotment, the other Shareholders shall have the right to purchase such allotment on the same basis.

K. 1. If (i) the Key Person’s employment or service with the Company is terminated as a result of the Key Person’s Wrongful Activities, or (ii) the Board determines in good faith that the Key Person has materially breached any non-compete, non-solicitation, or confidentiality agreement with the Company during or after termination of his, her, or its services with the Company as an employee, consultant, advisor, or member of the Board of Directors, then the Company shall have the right to repurchase all Shares issued to the Key Person at a price equal to the Fair Market Value Price on the effective date of the Stock Rights and terminate all Options granted but not yet exercised and all Stock Rights. Any repurchase shall be made in accordance with accounting rules to avoid adverse accounting treatment. All unexercised Options shall terminate. The determination by the Board that any such Wrongful Activity has occurred, whether proven or not, shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon such Key Person.

2. The Company’s right to repurchase shall be exercisable at any time within one year after the date of Key Person’s termination of employment or performance of services by the delivery of written notice by the Company to such effect to the Key Person or his, her, or its Personal Representative; provided, that, in the case of Shares purchased through the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option (i) such date shall be extended to the date that is 30 days after a Key Person can sell his or her Shares without causing the Incentive Stock Options to not qualify as Incentive Stock Options and (ii) the Company shall not have the right to repurchase the Shares if it would result in the Shares purchased through the exercise of Incentive Stock Options as not qualifying as Incentive Stock Options. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, the Key Person or his, her, or its Personal Representative shall deliver a certificate or certificates for the Shares being sold, together with appropriate duly signed stock powers transferring such Shares to the Company, and the Company shall deliver to the Key Person, or his, her, or its Personal Representative an amount equal to the purchase price for the Shares being sold.

3. This Article K shall not apply to any Key Person from and after the date of an underwritten initial public offering of the Company’s Common Stock.

ARTICLE XI

EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

OR SERVICE OR DEATH

A. If the employment or engagement by a Key Person by the Company shall terminate as a result of such Key Person’s retirement, total and permanent disability, or death, such Stock Rights or Options may be exercised by such Key Person or such Key Person’s Personal Representative or beneficiaries, to the extent that such Key Person shall have been entitled to do so on the date of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, permit such Option or Stock Rights to be issued or to be exercised to an extent greater than would otherwise be provided under this paragraph.

Options may be exercised to the extent set forth above no later than the first to occur of the following:

1. the expiration of three (3) months after termination of employment if such termination is due to retirement, or total and permanent disability; provided if such Key Person shall die during such three (3) month period, then one (1) year after the date of death; or

2. the expiration of one (1) year after termination of employment if such termination is due to such Key Person’s death; or

3. the expiration date of such Incentive Stock Option.

B. If the employment or service of a Key Person shall terminate for any reason other than retirement, total and permanent disability, death or Wrongful Activities of the Key Person, any Incentive Stock Option held by the Key Person may be exercised only within three (3) months after such termination unless by its terms the Incentive Stock Option expired sooner and only to the extent that the Key Person would have been entitled to do so on the date of such termination.

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, in the event of any recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination, reclassification or exchange affecting the Shares subject to this Plan, or any merger, consolidation, or reorganization as a result of which the Company is the surviving corporation, the aggregate number of Shares subject to the Plan and outstanding Options both as to number of Shares and the option price, and Stock Rights may be appropriately adjusted as determined by the Board, whose determination shall be final, binding, and conclusive.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan, in the event of dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or in the event of reorganization, merger, reorganization, or consolidation of the Company with one or more corporations in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or the Company becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation as a result of one of the events described in this paragraph or a sale of the Company, the Plan shall terminate, and any Option or Stock Rights then outstanding hereunder shall terminate on the effective date of such transaction unless the surviving corporation, or if applicable the corporation purchasing all of the Shares of the Company (or its affiliates) agrees to assume such Option or obligation to issue Shares pursuant to Stock Rights or elects to issue substitute options or rights in place thereof; provided, however, that all outstanding Options or Stock Rights not being assumed by the surviving or purchasing corporation shall become exercisable in part or in full, at the election of the Key Person, during the five (5) business days immediately preceding the effective date of such transaction.

B. In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have as members of the Board of Directors, the Company shall indemnify to the full extent permitted by law, each member of the Board (and his or her respective heirs, executors, and administrators) made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative) by reason of any action taken or failure to act under, or in connection with, the Plan or any Option or Stock Rights granted thereunder.

C. The Board of Directors shall have the power, in its discretion, to amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time; provided no amendment or termination shall in any manner affect an Option or Stock Right theretofore granted without the consent of the Key Person.

D. Nothing contained in this Plan, or in Option Agreements, Stock Rights Agreements or Subscription Agreements or in any other documents related to this Plan or to Options or Stock Rights shall confer upon any Key Person any right to continue in the employ of, or be engaged by, the Company, as an employee or otherwise, constitute any contract or agreement of employment, or engagement, or interfere in any way with the right of the Company to reduce such person’s fees, compensation, or benefits or to terminate the employment or engagement of such Key Person, with or without cause, but nothing contained in this Plan or any document related thereto shall affect any other contractual right of any Key Person.

E. No Key Person, Beneficiary, or other person shall have any right, title, or interest in any fund or in any specific asset of the Company by reason of any Option or Stock Rights granted hereunder. Neither the provisions of this Plan (or of any documents related hereto), nor the creation or adoption of this Plan, nor any action taken pursuant to the provisions of this Plan shall create, or be construed to create, a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Key Person, Beneficiary, or other person. To the extent that a Key Person, Beneficiary, or other person acquires a right to receive an Option or Stock Rights hereunder, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company.

F. Any notice required herein to be given by a Key Person to the Company shall be deemed to have been given on delivery of such notice in writing to the Company at such addresses the Company designates in writing to the Key Person at the Date of Grant, or at such other address as the Company may thereafter designate in writing to such Key Person. Any notice required herein to be given by the Company to any Key Person shall be deemed to have been given on mailing of such notice in writing addressed to the last known address of such Key Person as shown on the records of the Company.

G. The provisions of the Plan shall be binding upon all Personal Representatives and Beneficiaries of the Key Person.

H. This Plan shall be construed, administered, and governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws thereof and is a plan maintained outside the United States primarily for the benefit of non-resident aliens of the United States; and, therefore, the U.S. Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended shall not apply.
