Participation. 
 (a) An eligible Employee may become a participant in the Plan by completing a subscription agreement (the
“Subscription Agreement”) provided by the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and filing it with the Company’s Human Resources Department or the stock brokerage or other financial services firms designated or approved by
the Administrator from time to time (each, a “Designated Broker”) prior to the applicable Offering Date, unless a later time for filing the Subscription Agreement is set by the Board for all eligible Employees with respect to a
given Purchase Period. The Subscription Agreement shall set forth the percentage of the participant’s Compensation (subject to Section 6(a)) to be paid as Contributions pursuant to the Plan. 
 (b) Payroll deductions shall commence on the first full payroll following the Offering Date and shall end on the last payroll paid on or prior to the
last Purchase Period to which the Subscription Agreement is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10. 
 (c) A participant’s Subscription Agreement shall remain in effect for successive Purchase Periods unless modified as provided in Section 6 or terminated as provided in Section 10. 
 6. Method of Payment of Contributions. 
 (a) Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 6(c), a participant shall elect to have payroll deductions made on each payday during the Purchase Period in an amount not less than one percent
(1%) nor more than ten percent (10%)of such participant’s Compensation on each payday during the Offering Period. All payroll deductions made by a participant shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan. A participant may not
make any additional payments into such account. 







 (b) A participant may discontinue his or her participation in the Plan as provided in
Section 10, and may increase or decrease the rate of his or her Contributions with respect to the Purchase Period only in accordance with rules that the Administrator establishes before the Offering begins. Any change in rate shall be
effective as of the beginning of the next calendar month following the date of filing of the new Subscription Agreement, if the agreement is filed at least five (5) business days prior to such date and, if not, as of the beginning of the next
succeeding calendar month. 
 (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code
and Section 3(b), a participant’s payroll deductions may be decreased during any Purchase Period scheduled to end during the current calendar year to 0%. Payroll deductions shall re-commence at the rate provided in such participant’s
Subscription Agreement at the beginning of the first Purchase Period that is scheduled to end in the following calendar year, unless terminated by the participant as provided in Section 10. 
 7. Grant of Option. 
 (a) On
the Offering Date of each Offering Period, each eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted an option to purchase on each Purchase Date for each Purchase Period within the Offering Period a number of Shares determined by
dividing such Employee’s Contributions accumulated during such Purchase Period and retained in the participant’s account as of the Purchase Date by the applicable Purchase Price; provided however that the maximum number of Shares an
Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period shall not exceed 5,000 Shares (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 18), and provided further that such purchase shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 3(b)
and 12. The Board may, for future Offering Periods, increase or decrease, in its absolute discretion, the maximum number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that an eligible Employee may purchase during each Purchase Period of such
Offering Period. Exercise of the option shall occur as provided in Section 8, unless the participant has withdrawn pursuant to Section 10. The option shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period. 
 (b) The fair market value of the Company’s Common Shares on a given date (the “Fair Market Value”) shall be – 
 (i) the closing sales price of the Common Shares for such date (or, in the event that the Common Shares are not traded on such date, on the immediately
preceding trading date), as reported by the New York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange, or, if such price is not reported, then on the nearest preceding trading day during which a sale occurred; or 
 (ii) if such stock is not traded on either exchange but is quoted on NASDAQ or a successor quotation system (A) the last sales price (if the stock









 
is then listed as a National Market Issue under The Nasdaq National Market System or any successor system) or (B) the mean of the bid and asked prices
per-share of the Common Shares as reported by the NASDAQ or successor; or 
 (iii) in the event the Common Shares are not listed on a stock
exchange or quoted on NASDAQ but is otherwise traded in the over-the-counter market, the Fair Market Value per share shall be the mean between the most recent representative bid and asked prices; or 
 (iv) if subsections (i)-(iii) do not apply, the fair market value established in good faith by the Board. 
 8. Exercise of Option. Unless a participant withdraws from the Plan as provided in Section 10, his or her option for the purchase of
Shares will be exercised automatically on each Purchase Date of a Purchase Period, and the maximum number of full Shares subject to the option will be purchased at the applicable Purchase Price with the accumulated Contributions in his or her
account. No fractional Shares shall be sold or issued pursuant to the Plan. Any payroll deductions accumulated in a participant’s account that are not sufficient to purchase a full Share shall be retained in the participant’s account for
the subsequent Purchase Period, subject to earlier withdrawal by the participant as provided in Section 10. Any other amounts left over in a participant’s account after a Purchase Date shall be returned to the participant. The Shares
purchased upon exercise of an option hereunder shall be deemed to be transferred to the participant on the Purchase Date. During his or her lifetime, a participant’s option to purchase Shares hereunder is exercisable only by him or her.

 9. Delivery. As promptly as practicable after each Purchase Date of each Purchase Period, the number of Shares
purchased by each participant upon exercise of his or her option shall be deposited into an account established in the participant’s name with a Designated Broker. 
 10. Voluntary Withdrawal; Termination of Employment. 
 (a) Subject to applicable securities
law restrictions (e.g., the Company’s insider trading policy), a participant may withdraw all but not less than all the Contributions credited to his or her account under the Plan at any time prior to each Purchase Date by giving the Company or
the Designated Broker, a notice of withdrawal (the “Notice of Withdrawal”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, at least five (5) days prior to the Purchase Date. All of the participant’s Contributions credited
to his or her account will be paid to him or her promptly after receipt of his or her Notice of Withdrawal and his or her option for the current period will be automatically terminated, and no further Contributions for the purchase of Shares will be
made during the Purchase Period. 
 (b) Upon termination of the participant’s Continuous Status as an Employee prior to the Purchase
Date of a Purchase Period for any reason, including retirement or death, the Contributions credited to his or her account will be returned to 








 
him or her or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 13, and his or her option will be
automatically terminated. A participant will have up to 30 days to transfer, to himself, to a designated beneficiary, or to a designated broker, any Shares that the Company or the Designated Broker holds for the benefit of the Participant (using a
form that the Administrator provides). If within 30 days, the participant’s Shares are not transferred, the Administrator may, but shall not be obligated to, issue and mail a stock certificate for the Shares to the participant. 
 (c) In the event an Employee fails to remain in Continuous Status as an Employee of the Company for at least twenty (20) hours per week during the
Purchase Period in which the employee is a participant, he or she will be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan and the Contributions credited to his or her account will be returned to him or her and his or her option terminated.

 (d) If a participant withdraws from a Purchase Period, the participant may enroll in a subsequent purchase period but only once within
the same calendar year for this Plan or any succeeding employee stock purchase plan or any similar plan which may hereafter be adopted by the Company and for which such participant is otherwise eligible, subject to applicable securities law
restrictions. If a participant withdraws from a Purchase Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of any succeeding Purchase Period for which the participant is eligible to enroll unless the participant delivers a new
Subscription Agreement to the Company. 
 11. Interest. No interest shall accrue on the Contributions of a participant in the
Plan. 
 12. Shares. 
 (a) Subject to Section 18, the maximum number of Shares that participants may purchase pursuant to the Plan for Offering Periods beginning after on or after May 1, 2005 shall be Two Million Five Hundred Thousand
(2,500,000) Shares. The Shares that participants purchase pursuant to the Plan shall by newly-issued Shares, treasury Shares, or Shares purchased by the Designated Broker on the open market provided, however, that no more than 2,500,000 Shares,
(as adjusted pursuant to Section 18) shall be purchased pursuant to options under the Plan. In the latter case, to the extent the Purchase Price for Shares is below their Fair Market Value for any Purchase Period, the Company shall pay
the Designated Broker such amounts as are necessary to subsidize the Purchase Price for Shares purchased on the open market. 
 (b) The
participant shall have no interest (including no right to receive any dividends) or voting right in Shares covered by his or her option until such option has been exercised. 
 (c) Shares to be delivered to a participant under the Plan will be registered in the name of the participant or, if directed by the participant in
writing, in the name of the participant and his or her spouse. 







 13. Administration. The Administrator shall supervise and administer the Plan, and shall
have full and exclusive discretionary authority to construe, interpret, and apply the terms of the Plan, to determine eligibility, to adjudicate all disputed claims under the Plan, to adopt, amend and rescind any rules deemed appropriate for the
administration of the Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Every finding, decision, and determination made by the Administrator shall, to the full extent permitted by law, be final and
binding upon all parties. No person acting individually or jointly as the Administrator shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any participant. 
 14. Designation of Beneficiary. 
 (a) A participant may designate a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and cash, if any, from the participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death subsequent to the end of a Purchase Period but
prior to delivery to him or her of such Shares and cash. In addition, a participant may designate a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such participant’s death prior to the
Purchase Date. If a participant is married and the designated beneficiary is not the spouse, spousal consent shall be required for such designation to be effective. Beneficiary designations under this Section 14(a) shall be made in the
form and in the manner as directed by the Company’s Human Resources Department. 
 (b) Such designation of beneficiary may be changed
by the participant (and his or her spouse, if any) at any time by written notice in accordance with Section 14(a). In the event of the death of a participant and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is
living at the time of such participant’s death, the Company shall deliver such Shares and/or cash to the executor or administrator of the estate of the participant, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of
the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may deliver such Shares and/or cash to the spouse or to any one or more dependents or relatives of the participant, or if no spouse, dependent or relative is known to the Company, then to such other
person as the Company may designate. 
 15. Transferability. Neither Contributions credited to a participant’s account nor
any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive Shares under the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way (other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as provided in Section
14) by the participant. Any such attempt at assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be without effect, except that the Company may treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Section 10. 

16. Use of Funds. All Contributions received or held by the Company under the Plan may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose,
and the Company shall not be obligated to segregate such Contributions. 







 17. Reports. Individual recordkeeping accounts will be maintained for each participant in
the Plan. Statements of account will be provided to participating Employees at least annually by the Designated Broker, which statements will set forth the amounts of Contributions, the per Share Purchase Price, the number of Shares purchased, and
the remaining cash balance, if any. 
 18. Adjustments Upon Corporate Transactions.  
 (a) In the event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any Purchase Period then in progress will terminate immediately prior to the
consummation of such action, unless otherwise provided by the Board. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, each option outstanding under the Plan shall be assumed or an equivalent option shall be substituted by the successor corporation or a
parent or Subsidiary of such successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for outstanding options, each Purchase Period then in progress shall be shortened and a new Purchase Date shall be set
(the “New Purchase Date”), as of which date any Purchase Period then in progress will terminate. The New Purchase Date shall be on or before the date of consummation of the transaction and the Board shall notify each participant in
writing, at least ten (10) days prior to the New Purchase Date, that the Purchase Date for his or her option has been changed to the New Purchase Date and that his or her option will be exercised automatically on the New Purchase Date, unless
prior to such date he or she has withdrawn from the Purchase Period as provided in Section 10. 
 (b) For purposes of this
Section 18, an option granted under the Plan shall be deemed to be assumed, without limitation, if, at the time of issuance of the stock or other consideration upon a Corporate Transaction, each holder of an option under the Plan would
be entitled to receive upon exercise of the option the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as such holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of the transaction if the holder
had been, immediately prior to the transaction, the holder of the number of Shares covered by the option at such time (after giving effect to any adjustments in the number of Shares covered by the option as provided for in this
Section 18); provided, however, that if the consideration received in the transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent (as defined in Section 424(e) of the Code), the Board may, with the consent
of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon exercise of the option to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in Fair Market Value to the per Share consideration received by holders
of Common Shares in the transaction. 
 (c) The Administrator shall equitably adjust the number of Shares covered by each outstanding
option, and the number of Shares that may be purchased pursuant to options under the Plan, as well as the price per Share covered by each such outstanding option, to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a
stock-split, reverse stock-split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or reclassification of the Shares, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. 








 
Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class,
shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be required to be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to any option. 
 19. Amendment or Termination. 
 (a) The Board may at any time and for any reason terminate or
amend the Plan. Except as provided in Section 18, no such termination of the Plan may affect options previously granted, provided that the Plan or a Purchase Period may be terminated by the Board on a Purchase Date or by the Board’s
setting a new Purchase Date with respect to a Purchase Period then in progress if the Board determines that termination of the Plan and/or the Purchase Period is in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders, or if continuation of the
Plan and/or the Purchase Period would cause the Company to incur adverse accounting charges as a result of a change after the effective date of the Plan in the generally accepted accounting rules applicable to the Plan. Except as provided in
Section 18 and in this Section 19, no amendment to the Plan shall make any change in any option previously granted that adversely affects the rights of any participant. In addition, to the extent the Administrator considers
it appropriate to conform the Plan with Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, Section 423 of the Code, or any other applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, the Company shall obtain stockholder approval in such a manner and to such a
degree as so required. 
 (b) Without shareholder consent and without regard to whether any participant rights may be considered to have
been adversely affected, the Board (or its committee) shall be entitled to change the Purchase Periods, to limit the frequency and/or number of changes in the amount withheld during a Purchase Period, to establish the exchange ratio applicable to
amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, to permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a participant in order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding
elections, to establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward the purchase of Common Shares for each participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the
participant’s Compensation, and to establish such other limitations or procedures as the Board (or its committee) determines in its sole discretion advisable that are consistent with the Plan. 
 (c) The Company may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local
laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company specifically authorizes the Administrator to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency,
payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements. 
 (d) The Administrator may also
adopt sub-plans applicable to the Company or to particular Subsidiaries, or locations, which sub-plans may be designed to 








 
be outside the scope of Code Section 423. The rules of such sub-plans may take precedence over other provisions of this Plan, but unless otherwise
superseded by the specific terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of this Plan shall govern the operation of such sub-plan. In addition, the Administrator may adopt rules or procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to
accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company is specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling of payroll deductions, payment of interest,
conversion of local currency, payroll tax, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements. 
 20. Notices. All notices or other communications by a participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location,
or by the person, designated by the Company for the receipt thereof. 
 21. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. Shares shall
not be issued with respect to an option unless the exercise of such option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all applicable provisions of law, domestic or foreign, including, without limitation, the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, applicable state securities laws, and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which the Shares may then be listed, and shall be further
subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
 As a condition to the exercise of an option, the
Company may require the person exercising such option to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the
opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required by any of the aforementioned applicable provisions of law. 
 22.
Term of Plan; Effective Date. The Plan, as amended and restated, shall become effective on May 2, 2006, provided that the Plan’s effectiveness shall be contingent on its receipt of approval in 2006 by a vote of a majority of the
votes cast at a duly held meeting of the Company’s shareholders (or by such other shareholder vote that the Administrator determines to be sufficient for the issuance of Shares or stock options according to the Company’s governing
documents and applicable state law). The Plan shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless sooner terminated under Section 19. In the event that the Plan does not receive shareholder approval in 2006, this amended and restated Plan
will be null and void, and the Plan as in effect immediately before this amendment and restatement will continue in full force and effect. 
 23. Additional Restrictions of Rule 16b-3. The terms and conditions of options granted hereunder to, and the purchase of Shares by, persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall comply with the applicable provisions
of Rule 16b-3. This Plan shall be deemed to contain, and such options shall contain, and the Shares issued upon exercise thereof shall be subject to, such additional conditions and restrictions as may be required by Rule 16b-3 to qualify for the
maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions. 







 24. Notice of Disqualifying Dispositions. By electing to participate in the Plan, each
participant agrees to notify the Company in writing immediately after the participant sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of any Shares acquired under the Plan, if such disposition occurs within the earlier of (i) two (2) years of the Offering
Date, or (ii) one (1) year of the Purchase Date, associated with such Shares. Each participant further agrees to provide any information about a disposition of Shares as may be requested by the Company to assist it in complying with any applicable
tax laws. 
 25. Withholding of Taxes. Each participant must make adequate provision for all applicable federal, state, or
other tax withholding obligations which may arise upon the exercise of any option or the disposition of any Shares. 
 26. No
Employment Rights. The Plan does not create, directly or indirectly, any right for the benefit of any employee or class of employees to purchase any Shares from the Company (other than as expressly provided in, and subject to the terms and
conditions of, the Plan), or create in any employee or class of employees any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company or any Subsidiary, and it shall not be deemed to interfere in any way with the Company’s or any
Subsidiary’s right to terminate, or otherwise modify, an employee’s employment at any time. 
 27. Offsets. To the
extent permitted by law, the Company shall have the absolute right to withhold any amounts payable to any participant under the terms of the Plan to the extent of any amount owed for any reason by such participant to the Company or any Subsidiary
and to set off and apply the amounts so withheld to payment of any such amount owed to the Company or any Subsidiary, whether or not such amount shall then be immediately due and payable and in such order or priority as among such amounts owed as
the Board or its committee, in its sole discretion, shall determine. 
 28. Captions. The captions of the sections and
paragraphs of this Plan have been inserted solely as a matter of convenience and in no way define or limit the scope or intent of any provision of the Plan. References to sections herein are to the specified sections of this Plan unless another
reference is specifically stated. Wherever used herein, a singular number shall be deemed to include the plural unless a different meaning is required by the context. 
 29. Governing Law. The internal laws of the State of Delaware shall govern all matters relating to this Plan except to the extent superseded by the laws of the United States.

 2. Subject to the ESPP’s terms and conditions and those below, I hereby authorize payroll deductions from each paycheck in the amount of         % of my Compensation
on each payday (at least 1% and not to exceed 10%) during the Offering Period. (Please note that no fractional percentages are permitted.) 
 3. I understand that said payroll deductions shall be accumulated for the purchase of Common Shares at the applicable Purchase Price determined in accordance with the ESPP. I understand that if I do not withdraw from an Offering Period, any
accumulated payroll deductions will be used to automatically exercise my option. 
 4. I have received a copy of the complete “2006
Employee Stock Purchase Plan.” I understand that my participation in the ESPP is in all respects subject to the terms of the Plan. I understand that the grant of the option by the Company under this Subscription Agreement may be subject to
obtaining stockholder approval of the ESPP. 
 5. Shares purchased for me under the ESPP should be issued only in my name (or, if this space
     is checked, in the name(s) of me and my spouse, whose name is                         ).

 6. I understand that if I dispose of any shares received by me pursuant to the Plan within two years after the Enrollment Date (the first
day of the Purchase Period during which I purchased such shares) or within one year of the Purchase Date, I will be treated for Federal income tax purposes as having received ordinary income at the time of such disposition in an amount equal to the
excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time such shares were purchased by me over the price which I paid for the shares. 
 I
HEREBY AGREE TO NOTIFY THE COMPANY IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF ANY DISPOSITION OF SHARES AND I WILL MAKE ADEQUATE PROVISION FOR FEDERAL, STATE OR OTHER TAX WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS, IF ANY, WHICH ARISE UPON THE DISPOSITION OF THE
COMMON STOCK. 







 The Company may, but will not be obligated to, withhold from my compensation the amount necessary to meet
any applicable withholding obligation including any withholding necessary to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Shares by me. If I dispose of such shares at any time after
the expiration of the 2-year and 1-year holding periods described above, I understand that I will be treated for Federal income tax purposes as having received income only at the time of such disposition, and that such income will be taxed as
ordinary income only to the extent of an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such disposition over the purchase price which I paid for the shares, or (2) 15% of the fair market
value of the shares on the first day of the Offering Period. The remainder of the gain, if any, recognized on such disposition will be taxed as capital gain. 
 I UNDERSTAND THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT CONSTITUTES TAX ADVICE, AND I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE COMPANY HAS ENCOURAGED ME TO CONSULT MY OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH REGARD TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF PARTICIPATING IN THE 2006
EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. 
 7. In the event of my death, I hereby designate the following as my beneficiary(ies) to receive all payments
and Shares due me under the ESPP:
