        ARTICLE 6


        PURCHASE OF STOCK UNDER THE PLAN


        6.1       Method of Purchase and Purchase Price. Participants purchasing Stock under the Plan shall pay for such Stock by means of an automatic payroll deduction administered by the Board or agents of the Board. The purchase price for the Stock shall be no less than the Fair Market Value of the Stock
        at the time of purchase.


        6.2       Reports.


        6.2.1    Reports to Participants. Within sixty (60) days following the end of each calendar year, the Board will provide each Participant a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares of Stock purchased during the preceding year and the purchase price paid for such shares of Stock.


        6.2.2    Annual Plan Reports. The Board shall prepare and maintain reports annually on the status and implementation of the Plan, including all purchases thereunder and current Fair Market Value determination. A copy of the Annual Plan Report shall be provided to each Participant in the Plan.

        6.4       Limitation on Payroll Deduction Amount. The payroll deduction amount for any Participant shall not exceed during any pay period the greater of (i) fifteen percent (15%) of the Participant’s gross wages, or (ii) $1,000.


        6.5       No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock may be purchased or will be issued. In the event that as of the end of any calendar year, there remains a balance in any Participant’s payroll deduction account which has not been applied to the purchase of Stock because such
        purchase, if applied, would result in the issuance of a fractional share, then such balance will be carried over and applied to purchases of Stock in the following year. If, at the time of any Participant’s termination of participation in the Plan, there remains a balance in a Participant’s payroll deduction account because application of such balance to the purchase of Stock would result in the issuance of a fractional share, then the balance in such account will be
        returned to such Participant promptly after the effective date of such termination.


        ARTICLE 7


        OWNERSHIP AND VOTING OF STOCK


                  Once a Participant purchases Stock under the Plan, the Participant shall be deemed the owner of the Stock for all purposes. The Participant shall be entitled to exercise all rights of a shareholder of the Stock issued to him/her, including voting and receipt of dividends, if any.

        agreement or understanding, expressed or implied, that the Company will employ any Participant in any particular position or at any particular rate of remuneration or for any particular period of time.

        8.2       Limitation of Liability. This Plan shall not be construed as creating any right of any employee of the Company to receive any benefit hereunder, or as affecting the rights of the Company with respect to its employees, but instead, only as establishing the procedures governing participation
        in this Plan. No Participant shall have any rights or claim against the Company, the Board, or any member of the Board by virtue of such person’s participation in this Plan, except with respect to the enforcement of the terms of this Plan. No provision herein shall be deemed to create any trust or fiduciary relationship between the Company (or the Board or any member thereof) and any Participant or any other person whatsoever, including, without limitation, any employee, officer,
        or any eligible Participant hereunder other than the general fiduciary duty owed by officers of the Company and members of the Board to all shareholders of the Company. Furthermore, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any person has any enforceable right, claim or remedy hereunder vis-a-vis the Company, the
