      to adjustment as provided in Section 4.2 hereof, the number of Shares

      or
      expires shall be deemed not to have been delivered for purposes of determining
      the maximum number of Shares available for delivery under this Plan. Shares

      to this Plan.

                Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to Awards granted in any one fiscal

                of Restricted Stock granted in any one fiscal year to any one Participant

              Performance
                Shares/Performance Units Awards:
                The maximum aggregate grant with respect to Awards of Performance
                Shares
                made in any one fiscal year to any one Participant shall be equal
                to the
                Fair Market Value of 500,000 Shares
                (measured on the date of grant); the maximum aggregate amount awarded
                with
                respect to Performance Units to any one Participant in any one fiscal
                year

    4.2 Adjustments
      in Authorized Shares.
      Upon a
      change in corporate capitalization, such as a stock split, stock dividend or
      a
      corporate transaction, such as any merger, consolidation, combination,
      exchange of shares or the like, separation, including a spin-off, or other
      distribution of stock or property of the Company, any reorganization (whether
      or
      not such reorganization comes within the definition of such term in Code Section
      368) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Company, a proportionate
      adjustment shall be made in (i) the number and class of Shares available under
      this Plan, in the number and class of and/or price of Shares subject to
      outstanding Awards granted under this Plan, and in all references to numbers
      of
      Shares set forth in this Plan, as may be determined to be appropriate and
      equitable by the Committee, in its sole discretion, to prevent dilution or
      enlargement of rights.

     

    4.3 Adjustment
      of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring
      Events.
      The
      Committee may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria
      included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including,
      without limitation, the events described in Section 4.2 hereof) affecting the
      Company or the financial statements of the Company or of changes in applicable
      laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines
      that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
      enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available
      under this Plan; provided that, unless the Committee determines otherwise at
      the
      time such adjustment is considered, no such adjustment shall be authorized
      to
      the extent that such authority would be inconsistent with this Plan’s or any
      Award’s meeting the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, as from time to
      time in effect.

      6. Stock Options

     

    6.1 Grant
      of Options.
      Subject
      to the terms and provisions of this Plan, Options may be granted to Participants
      in such number, and upon such terms, and at any time and from time to time
      as shall be determined by the Committee. 

     

    6.2 Award
      Agreement.
      Each
      Option grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the
      Option Price, the duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which the
      Option pertains, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine
      which are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan. 

     

    6.3 Option
      Price.
      The
      Option Price for each grant of an Option under this Plan shall be as determined
      by the Committee; provided, however, the per-share exercise price shall not
      be
      less than the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of grant. The Option
      Price for each Option shall equal the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the
      time such option is granted. If an ISO is granted to a Ten Percent Stockholder
      the Option Price shall be at least 110 percent of the Fair Market Value of
      the
      stock subject to the ISO.

     

    6.4 Duration
      of Options.
      Except
      as otherwise provided in this Plan, each Option granted to a Participant shall
      expire at such time as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant,
      provided that an ISO must expire no later than the tenth (10th) anniversary
      of
      the date the ISO was granted. However, in the case of an ISO granted to a Ten
      Percent Stockholder, the ISO by its terms shall not be exercisable after the
      expiration of five years from the date such ISO is granted.

     

    6.5 Exercise
      of Options.
      Options
      shall be exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and
      conditions as the Committee shall in each instance approve, which need not
      be
      the same for each grant or for each Participant.

     

    6.6 Payment.
      Options
      shall be exercised by the delivery of a written, electronic or telephonic notice
      of exercise to the Company or its designated agent, setting forth the number
      of
      Shares with respect to which the Option is to be exercised, accompanied by
      full
      payment of the Option Price for the Shares.

     

    Upon
      the
      exercise of any Option, the Option Price for the Shares being purchased pursuant
      to the Option shall be payable to the Company in full either: (a) in cash
      or its equivalent; or (b) subject
      to the Committee’s approval, by delivery of previously acquired Shares having an
      aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option
      Price (provided that the Shares that are delivered must have been held by the
      Participant for at least six (6) months prior to their delivery to satisfy
      the
      Option Price); or (c) by a combination of (a) and (b); or (d) by any
      other method approved by the Committee in its sole discretion. Unless otherwise
      determined by the Committee, the delivery of previously acquired Shares may
      be
      done through attestation. No fractional shares may be tendered or accepted
      in
      payment of the Option Price.

     

    Unless
      otherwise determined by the Committee, cashless exercises are permitted pursuant
      to Federal Reserve Board’s Regulation T, subject to applicable securities
      law restrictions, or by any other means which the Committee determines to be
      consistent with this Plan’s purpose and applicable law.

    Subject
      to any governing rules or regulations, as soon as practicable after receipt
      of
      notification of exercise and full payment, the Company shall deliver to the
      Participant, in the Participant’s name, Share certificates in an appropriate
      amount based upon the number of Shares purchased pursuant to the
      Option(s).

     

    Unless
      otherwise determined by the Committee, all payments under all of the methods
      indicated above shall be paid in United States dollars.

     

    6.7 Restrictions
      on Share Transferability.
      The
      Committee may impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the
      exercise of an Option granted under this Article 6 as it may deem advisable,
      including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable federal securities
      laws, under the requirements of any stock exchange or market upon which such
      Shares are then listed and/or traded, or under any blue sky or state

            	(a)	
              Incentive
                Stock Options.
                No ISO granted under this Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged,
                assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other
                than by
                will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Further, all ISOs
                granted
                to a Participant under this Plan shall be exercisable during such
                Participant’s lifetime only by such
                Participant.

            


    

     

    
      	 	
              (b)

            	
              Nonqualified
                Stock Options.
                Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, no
                NQSO
                may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise
                alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent
                and distribution. Further, except as otherwise provided in the applicable
                Award Agreement, all NQSOs granted to a Participant shall be exercisable
                during such Participant’s lifetime only by such
                Participant.

            


    

     

    6.9 Special
      Limitation on Grants of Incentive Stock Options. No
      ISO
      shall be granted to an Employee under this Plan or any other ISO plan of the
      Company or its Subsidiaries to purchase Shares as to which the aggregate Fair
      Market Value (determined as of the date of grant) of the Shares which first
      become exercisable by the Employee in any calendar year exceeds $100,000. To
      the
      extent an Option initially designated as an ISO exceeds the value limit of
      this
      Section 6.9 or otherwise fails to satisfy the requirements applicable to
      ISOs, it shall be deemed a NQSO and shall otherwise remain in full force and
      effect.

      to the terms and conditions of this Plan, SARs may be granted to Participants
      at
      any time and from time to time as shall be determined by the
      Committee.

     

    Subject
      to the terms and conditions of this Plan, the Committee shall have complete
      discretion in determining the number of SARs granted to each Participant and,
      consistent with the provisions of this Plan, in determining the terms and
      conditions pertaining to such SARs. 

     

    The
      grant
      price of a SAR shall equal the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of
      grant.

    7.2 SAR
      Agreement.
      Each
      SAR grant shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the grant
      price, the term of the SAR, and such other provisions as the Committee shall
      determine. 

     

    7.3 Term
      of SARs.
      The
      term of an SAR granted under this Plan shall be determined by the Committee,
      in
      its sole discre-tion. 

     

    7.4 Exercise
      of SARs.
      SARs
      may be exercised upon whatever terms and conditions the Committee, in its sole
      discretion, imposes upon them.

     

    7.6 Payment
      of SAR Amount.
      Upon
      exercise of an SAR, a Participant shall be entitled to receive payment from
      the
      Company in an amount determined by multiplying:

     

    
      	 	
              (a)

            	
              The
                amount by which the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of exercise
                exceeds the grant price of the SAR;
                by

            


    

     

    
      	
            	(b)	
              The
                number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is
                exercised.

            


    

     

    The
      payment upon SAR exercise shall be in Shares. Any Shares delivered in payment
      shall be deemed to have a value equal to the Fair Market Value on the date
      of
      exercise of the SAR. 

     

    7.7 Nontransferability
      of SARs.
      Except
      as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement, no SAR granted under
      this Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered, or otherwise
      alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and
      distribution. Further, except as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award
      Agreement, all SARs granted to a Participant under this Plan shall be
      exercisable during such Participant’s lifetime only by such
      Participant.

      8. Restricted Stock

     

    8.1 Grant
      of Restricted Stock.
      Subject
      to the terms and provisions of this Plan, the Committee, at any time and from
      time to time, may grant Shares of Restricted Stock to Participants in such
      amounts as the Committee shall determine.

     

    8.2 Restricted
      Stock Agreement.
      Each
      Restricted Stock grant shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Award Agreement
      that shall specify the Period(s) of Restriction, the number of Shares of

      determine which are not inconsistent with the terms of this Plan.

     

    8.3 Transferability.
      Except
      as provided in the Award Agreement, the Shares of Restricted Stock granted
      herein may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered, or otherwise
      alienated or hypothecated until the end of the applicable Period of Restriction
      established by the Committee and specified in the Restricted Stock Award
      Agreement, or upon earlier satisfaction of any other conditions, as specified
      by
      the Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the Restricted Stock
      Award
      Agreement. All rights with respect to the Restricted Stock granted to a
      Participant under this Plan shall be available during such Participant’s
      lifetime and prior to the end of the Period of Restriction only to such
      Participant.

     

    8.4 Other
      Restrictions.
      The
      Committee may impose such other conditions and/or restrictions on any Shares
      of
      Restricted Stock granted pursuant to this Plan as it may deem advisable
      including, without limitation, a requirement that Participants pay a stipulated
      purchase price for each Share of Restricted Stock, restrictions based upon
      the
      achievement of specific performance goals, time-based restrictions on vesting
      following the attainment of the performance goals, time-based restrictions,
      and/or restrictions under applicable federal or state securities
      laws.

    To
      the
      extent deemed appropriate by the Committee, the Company may retain the
      certificates representing Shares of Restricted Stock in the Company’s possession
      until such time as all conditions and/or restrictions applicable to such Shares
      have been satisfied.

     

    Except
      as
      otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, Shares of Restricted Stock covered
      by
      each Restricted Stock grant made under this Plan shall become freely
      transferable by the Participant after the last day of the applicable Period
      of
      Restriction.

     

    8.5 Voting
      Rights.
      If the
      Committee so determines, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted
      hereunder may be granted the right to exercise full voting rights with respect
      to those Shares during the Period of Restriction.

     

    8.6 Dividends
      and Other Distributions.
      During
      the Period of Restriction, Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock
      granted hereunder (whether or not the Company holds the certificate(s)
      representing such Shares) may, if the Committee so determines, be credited
      with
      dividends paid with respect to the underlying Shares while they are so held.
      The
      Committee may apply any restrictions to the dividends that the Committee deems
      appropriate. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, if
      the
      grant or vesting of Restricted Shares granted to a Covered Employee is
      designed to comply with the requirements of the Performance-Based Exception,
      the
      Committee may apply any restrictions it deems appropriate to the payment of
      dividends declared with respect to such Restricted Shares, such that the
      dividends and/or the Restricted Shares maintain eligibility for the
      Performance-Based Exception.

     

    Article
      9. Performance Units and Performance Shares 

     

    9.1 Grant
      of Performance Units/Shares Awards.
      Subject
      to the terms of this Plan, Performance Units and/or Performance Shares Awards
      may be granted to Participants in such amounts and upon such terms, and at
      any
      time and from time to time, as shall be determined by the
      Committee.

     

    9.2 Award
      Agreement.
      At the
      Committee’s discretion, each grant of Performance Units/Shares Awards may be
      evidenced by an Award Agreement that shall specify the initial value, the
      duration of the Award, the performance measures, if any, applicable to the
      Award, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine which are
      not
      inconsistent with the terms of this Plan. 

     

    9.3 Value
      of Performance Units/Shares Awards.
      Each
      Performance Unit shall have an initial value that is established by the
      Committee at the time of grant. Each Performance Share shall have an initial
      value equal to the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. The
      Committee shall set performance goals in its discretion which, depending on
      the
      extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or value of
      Performance Units/Shares Awards that will be paid out to the Participant. For
      purposes of this Article 9, the time period during which the performance goals
      must be met shall be called a “Performance Period.” 

     

    9.4 Earning
      of Performance Units/Shares Awards.
      Subject
      to the terms of this Plan, after the applicable Performance Period has
      ended, the holder of Performance Units/Shares Awards shall be entitled to
      receive a payout based on the number and value of Performance Units/Shares
      Awards earned by the Participant over the Performance Period, to be determined
      as a function of the extent to which the corresponding performance goals
      have been achieved. 

     

    9.5 Form
      and Timing of Payment of Performance Units/Shares Awards.
      Payment
      of earned Performance Units/Shares Awards shall be as determined by the
      Committee and, if applicable, as evidenced in the related Award Agreement.
      Subject to the terms of this Plan, the Committee, in its sole
      discretion, may pay earned Performance Units/Shares Awards in the form of
      cash or in Shares (or in a combination thereof) that have an aggregate Fair
      Market Value equal to the value of the earned Performance Units/Shares Awards
      at
      the close of the applicable Performance Period. Such Shares may be delivered
      subject to any restrictions deemed appropriate by the Committee. No fractional
      shares will be issued. The determination of the Committee with respect to the
      form of payout of such Awards shall be set forth in the Award Agreement
      pertaining to the grant of the Award or the resolutions establishing the
      Award.

     

    Unless
      otherwise provided by the Committee, Participants holding Performance
      Units/Shares shall be entitled to receive dividend units with respect to
      dividends declared with respect to the Shares represented by such Performance
      Units/Shares. Such dividends may be subject to the same accrual, forfeiture,
      and
      payout restrictions as apply to dividends earned with respect to Shares of
      Restricted Stock, as set forth in Section 8.6 hereof, as determined by the
      Committee. 

     

    9.6 Nontransferability.
      Except
      as otherwise provided in a Participant’s Award Agreement, Performance
      Units/Shares Awards may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered,
      or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of
      descent and distribution.

     

    Article
      10. Performance Measures

     

    Unless
      and until the Committee proposes for stockholder vote and the Company’s
      stockholders approve a change in the general performance measures set forth
      in
      this Article 10, the attainment of which may determine the degree of payout
      and/or vesting with respect to Awards to Covered Employees that are designed
      to
      qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, the performance measure(s) to
      be
      used for purposes of such grants shall be chosen from among:

     

    
      	
            	 (a)	
              Earnings
                per share;

            


    

     

    
      	
            	 (b)	
              Net
                income (before or after taxes); 

            


    

     

    
      	(c)  	
              Cash
                flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free
                cash
                flow);

            


    

     

    
      	(d)  	
              Gross
                revenues;

            


    

     

    
      	(e)  	
              Gross
                margins; 

            


    

     

    
      	(f)  	
              EBITDA;
                and

            


    

     

    
      	(g)  	
              Any
                of the above measures compared to peer or other
                companies.

            


    

     

    
      	(h)  	
              Scientific
                milestones and objectives

            


    

     

    
      	(i)  	
              Cost
                containment goals

      	(j)  	
              Achievement
                of other business objectives

            


    

     

    Performance
      measures may be set either at the corporate level, subsidiary level, division
      level, or business unit level.

     

    Awards
      that are designed to qualify for the Performance-Based Exception, and that
      are
      held by Covered Employees, may not be adjusted upward (the Committee shall
      retain the discretion to adjust such Awards downward).

     

    If
      applicable tax and/or securities laws change to permit Committee discretion
      to
      alter the governing performance measures without obtaining stockholder approval
      of such changes, the Committee shall have sole discretion to make such changes
      without obtaining stockholder approval. 

     

    Article
      11. Rights of Participants

     

    11.1 Employment.
      Nothing
      in this Plan shall confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an
      Employee, Director or Independent Contractor of the Company or its Subsidiaries,
      or interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or its
      Subsidiaries to terminate any Participant’s employment, directorship or
      engagement as an Independent Contractor at any time.

     

    11.2 Participation.
      Except
      as expressly provided in Section 5.3 with respect to Non-Employee Directors,
      no
      Employee, Director or Independent Contractor shall have the right to be selected
      to receive an Award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected
      to receive any future Award.

     

    11.3 Rights
      as a Stockholder.
      Except
      as provided in Sections 8.5, 8.6 and 9.5 or in applicable Award Agreement
      consistent with such Sections, a Participant shall have none of the rights
      of a
      stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by any Award until
      the Participant becomes the record holder of such Shares, or the Period of
      Restriction has expired, as applicable.

     

    Article
      12. Termination of Employment/Directorship/Consultancy

     

    Upon
      termination of the Participant's employment, directorship or service as a member
      of the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board for any reason other than Retirement,
      Disability or death, an Award granted to the Participant may be exercised by
      the
      Participant or permitted transferee at any time on or prior to the earlier
      of
      the expiration date of the Award or the expiration of three (3) months after
      the
      date of termination but only if, and to the extent that, the Participant was
      entitled to exercise the Award at the date of termination. All Awards or any
      portion thereof not yet vested or exercisable or whose Period of Restriction
      has
      not expired as of the date of termination (other than a termination by reason
      of
      Retirement, Disability or death) shall terminate and be forfeited immediately
      on
      the date of termination. If the employment or directorship of a Participant
      terminates by reason of the Participant's Retirement, Disability or death,
      all
      Awards or any portion thereof not yet vested or exercisable or whose Period
      of
      Restriction has not expired as of the date of a Participant’s Disability or
      death shall become immediately vested and/or exercisable on the date of
      termination due to Retirement, Disability or death. If the employment or
      directorship of a Participant terminates by reason of the Participant's
      Retirement, Disability or death, the Participant (or, if appropriate, the
      Participant's legal representative or permitted transferee) may exercise such
      Participant’s rights under any outstanding Award at any time on or prior to the
      original expiration date of the Award; provided, however, that if an Award
      is an
      ISO, the Participant (or, if appropriate, the Participant's legal representative
      or permitted transferee) may exercise such Participant’s rights under any
      outstanding Award at any time on or prior to the earlier of (i) the original
      expiration date of the Award or (ii) (A) in the case of Retirement, the
      expiration of three (3) months after the date of termination or (B) in the
      case
      of Disability or death, the first anniversary of the date of
      termination.

    Unless
      otherwise determined by the Committee, an authorized leave of absence pursuant
      to a written agreement or other leave entitling an Employee to reemployment
      in a
      comparable position by law or rule shall not constitute a termination of
      employment for purposes of this Plan unless the Employee does not return at
      or
      before the end of the authorized leave or within the period for which
      re-employment is guaranteed by law or rule. For purposes of this Article, a
      “termination” includes an event which causes a Participant to lose his
      eligibility to participate in this Plan (e.g., an individual is employed by
      a
      company that ceases to be a Subsidiary). In the case of an Independent
      Contractor, the meaning of “termination” or “termination of employment” includes
      the date that the individual ceases to provide services to the Company or its
      Subsidiaries. In the case of a nonemployee director, the meaning of
“termination” includes the date that the individual ceases to be a director of
      the Company or its Subsidiaries.

     

    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, the Committee has the authority to prescribe different rules
      that
      apply upon the termination of a particular Participant’s service as an Employee,
      Director or Independent Contractor, which shall be memorialized in the
      Participant’s original or amended Award Agreement or similar
      document.

     

    An
      Award
      that remains unexercised after the latest date it could have been exercised
      under any of the foregoing provisions or under the terms of the Award shall
      be
      forfeited.

     

    Article
      13. Change in Control

     

    In
      the
      event of a Change in Control, unless otherwise specifically prohibited under
      applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any governing governmental
      agencies or national securities exchange or trading system, or unless the
      Committee shall otherwise specify in the Award Agreement, the Board, in its
      sole
      discretion, may: 

     

    
      	
            	(a)	
              elect
                to terminate Options or SARs in exchange for a cash payment equal
                to the
                amount by which the Fair Market Value of the Shares subject to such
                Option
                or SAR to the extent the Option or SAR has vested exceeds the exercise
                price with respect to such Shares;

            


    

     

    
      	
            	(b)	
              elect
                to terminate Options or SARs provided that each Participant is first
                notified of and given the opportunity to exercise his/her vested
                Options
                or SARs for a specified period of time (of not less than 15 days)
                from the
                date of notification and before the Option or SAR is

            	(c)	
              permit
                Awards to be assumed by a new parent corporation or a successor
                corporation (or its parent) and replaced with a comparable Award
                of the
                parent corporation or successor corporation (or its
                parent);

            


    

     

    
      	
            	(d)

                that
                it deems appropriate; or

    Article
      14. Amendment, Modification, and Termination

     

    14.1 Amendment,
      Modification, and Termination.
      Subject
      to the terms of this Plan, the Board may at any time and from time to time,
      alter, amend, suspend, or terminate this Plan in whole or in
      part.

     

    14.2 Awards
      Previously Granted.
      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, no
      termination, amendment, or modification of this Plan shall adversely affect
      in any material way any Award previously granted under this Plan, without
      the written consent of the Participant holding such Award.

     

    14.3 Stockholder
      Approval Required for Certain Amendments. Stockholder
      approval will be required for any amendment of this Plan that does any of the
      following: (a) increases the maximum number of Shares subject to this Plan;
      (b)
      changes the designation of the class of persons eligible to receive ISOs under
      this Plan; or (c) modifies this Plan in a manner that requires stockholder
      approval under applicable law or the rules of a stock exchange or trading system
      on which Shares are traded. 

     

     

    Article
      15. Withholding

     

    The
      Company shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require
      a
      Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy any
      applicable taxes (including social security or social charges), domestic or
      foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any
      taxable event arising as a result of this Plan. The
      Participant may satisfy, totally or in part, such Participant’s obligations
      pursuant to this Section 15 by electing to have Shares withheld, to redeliver
      Shares acquired under an Award, or to deliver previously owned Shares that
      have
      been held for at least six (6) months, provided that the election is made in
      writing on or prior to (i) the date of exercise, in the case of Options and
      SARs, (ii) the date of payment, in the case of Performance Units/Shares, and
      (iii) the expiration of the Period of Restriction in the case of Restricted
      Stock. Any election made under this Section 15 may be disapproved by the
      Committee at any time in its sole discretion. If an election is disapproved
      by
      the Committee, the Participant must satisfy his obligations pursuant to this
      paragraph in cash.

     

    Article
      16. Successors

     

    All
      obligations of the Company under this Plan with respect to Awards granted
      hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the
      existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase,
      through merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of
      the
      business, stock and/or assets of the Company.

     

    Article
      17. General Provisions

      and Number.
      Except
      where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also
      shall include the feminine; the plural shall include the singular and the
      singular shall include the plural.

    17.2 Severability.
      If any
      provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the
      illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts of this Plan,
      and
      this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision
      had not been included.

     

    17.3 Requirements
      of Law.
      The
      granting of Awards and the issuance of Shares under this Plan shall be subject
      to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any
      governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
      

     

    17.4 Securities
      Law Compliance.
      With
      respect to Insiders, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with
      all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3 or its successors under the
      Exchange Act, unless determined otherwise by the Board. To the extent any
      provision of this Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall
      be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable
      by
      the Board.

     

    17.5 Registration.
      The
      Company shall use reasonable endeavors to register Shares issued pursuant to
      Awards under the Securities Act on Form S-8 or other suitable Form and to effect
      compliance with the registration, qualification, and listing requirements of
      any
      state or foreign securities laws, stock exchange, or trading
      system.

     

    17.6 Inability
      to Obtain Authority.
      The
      inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having
      jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary
      to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the
      Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares
      as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

     

    17.7 No
      Additional Rights.
      Neither
      the Award nor any benefits arising under this Plan shall constitute part of
      an
      employment contract between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary,
      and accordingly, subject to Section 14.2, this Plan and the benefits
      hereunder may be terminated at any time in the sole and exclusive discretion
      of
      the Committee without giving rise to liability on the part of the Company for
      severance payments.

     

    17.8 Noncertificated
      Shares.
      To the
      extent that this Plan provides for issuance of certificates to reflect the
      transfer of Shares, the transfer of such Shares may be effected on a
      noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the
      rules of any stock exchange or trading system.

     

    17.9 Governing
      Law.
      This
      Plan and each Award Agreement shall be governed by the laws of Nevada, excluding
      any conflicts or choice of law rule or principle that might otherwise refer
      construction or interpretation of this Plan to the substantive law of another
      jurisdiction. Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, recipients
      of an
      Award under this Plan are deemed to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and
      venue of the federal or state courts whose jurisdiction covers Rochester, New
      York, to resolve any and all issues that may arise out of or relate to this
      Plan
      or any related Award Agreement.

    17.10 Compliance
      with Code Section 409A.
      No
      Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code shall provide for deferral
      of
      compensation that does not comply with Section 409A of the Code, unless the
      Board, at the time of grant, specifically provides that the Award is not
      intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any provision
      in this Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award subject to Section
      409A,
      distributions on account of a separation from service may not be made to Key
      Employees before the date which is six (6) months after the date of separation
      from service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the employee).
