 2003 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 
  
 SECTION 1.    ESTABLISHMENT AND PURPOSE. 
  
 The Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on September 2, 2003,
effective as of the date of the initial offering of Stock to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company
and the creation of stockholder value by (a) encouraging Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants to focus on critical long-range objectives, (b) encouraging the attraction and retention of Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants with
exceptional qualifications and (c) linking Employees, Outside Directors and Consultants directly to stockholder interests through increased stock ownership. The Plan seeks to achieve this purpose by providing for Awards in the form of restricted
shares, options (which may constitute incentive stock options or nonstatutory stock options) or stock appreciation rights. 
  
 SECTION 2.    DEFINITIONS. 
  
 (a) “Affiliate” shall mean any entity other than a Subsidiary, if the Company and/or one of more Subsidiaries own not less than 50% of
such entity. 
  
 (b) “Award” shall mean any award
of an Option, a SAR or a Restricted Share under the Plan. 
  
 (c)
“Board of Directors” shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company, as constituted from time to time. 
  
 (d) “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: 
  
 (i) A change in the composition of the Board of Directors
occurs, as a result of which fewer than one-half of the incumbent directors are directors who either: 
  
 (A) Had been directors of the Company on the “look-back date” (as defined below) (the “original directors”); or

  
 (B) Were elected, or nominated for election,
to the Board of Directors with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the aggregate of the original directors who were still in office at the time of the election or nomination and the directors whose election or nomination was previously
so approved (the “continuing directors”); or 
  
 (ii) Any “person” (as defined below) who by the acquisition or aggregation of securities, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of
the Company representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities 

  

 - 1 - 








 
ordinarily (and apart from rights accruing under special circumstances) having the right to vote at elections of directors (the “Base Capital
Stock”); except that any change in the relative beneficial ownership of the Company’s securities by any person resulting solely from a reduction in the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Base Capital Stock, and any decrease
thereafter in such person’s ownership of securities, shall be disregarded until such person increases in any manner, directly or indirectly, such person’s beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company; or 
  
 (iii) The consummation of a merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization, if persons who were not stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization own immediately after such merger, consolidation
or other reorganization 50% or more of the voting power of the outstanding securities of each of (A) the continuing or surviving entity and (B) any direct or indirect parent corporation of such continuing or surviving entity; or 
  
 (iv) The sale, transfer or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets. 
  
 For purposes
of subsection (d)(i) above, the term “look-back” date shall mean the later of (1) September 2, 2003 or (2) the date 24 months prior to the date of the event that may constitute a Change in Control. 
  
 For purposes of subsection (d)(ii)) above, the term “person” shall
have the same meaning as when used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act but shall exclude (1) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or a Parent or Subsidiary and (2) a
corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the Stock. 
  
 Any other provision of this Section 2(d) notwithstanding, a transaction shall not constitute a Change in Control if its sole purpose is to change the
state of the Company’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction, and a Change in Control
shall not be deemed to occur if the Company files a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the initial offering of Stock to the public.

follows: 
  
 (i) If the Stock was traded
over-the-counter on the date in question but was not traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market, then the Fair Market Value shall be equal to the last transaction price quoted for such date by the OTC Bulletin Board or, if not so quoted, shall be equal to

 (A) The expiration date determined pursuant to Section 4(b)(v) above; 
  
 (B) The date 12 months after the termination of the Outside Director’s Service, if the termination
occurs because of his or her death or Disability; 
  
 (C) The date of the Outside Director’s termination of Service, if the termination occurs by reason of his or her Misconduct; or 
  
 (D) The date three months after the termination of the Outside Director’s Service, if the termination occurs for any reason other
than death, Disability or Misconduct. 
  
 The Outside Director may
exercise all or part of his or her Options at any time before the expiration of such Options under the preceding sentence, but only to the extent that such Options had become vested before his or her Service terminated. The balance of such Options
shall lapse when the Outside Director’s Service terminates. 
  
 (vii) In the event that the Outside Director dies after the termination of his or her Service but before the expiration of his or her Options granted under this Section 4(b), then his or her Options shall expire on
the earlier of the following dates: 
  
 (A) The
expiration date determined pursuant to Section 4(b)(v) above; or 
  
 (B) The date 12 months after his or her death. 
  
 (c) Ten-Percent Stockholders. An Employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of outstanding stock of the Company, a Parent or Subsidiary shall not be eligible for the grant
of an ISO unless such grant satisfies the requirements of Section 422(c)(5) of the Code. 
  
 (d) Attribution Rules. For purposes of Section 4(c) above, in determining stock ownership, an Employee shall be deemed to own the stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for such Employee’s brothers,
sisters, spouse, ancestors and lineal descendants. Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by or for a corporation, partnership, estate or trust shall be deemed to be owned proportionately by or for its stockholders, partners or beneficiaries.

  
 (e) Outstanding Stock. For purposes of Section 4(c)
above, “outstanding stock” shall include all stock actually issued and outstanding immediately after the grant. “Outstanding stock” shall not include shares authorized for issuance under outstanding options held by the Employee
or by any other person.

 SECTION 5.    STOCK SUBJECT TO PLAN. 
  
 (a) Basic Limitation. Shares offered under the Plan shall be
authorized but unissued Shares or treasury Shares. The maximum aggregate number of Options, SARs and Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall not exceed 29,000,000 Shares, plus the additional Shares described in Section (b). The limitations of
this Section 5(a) shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 10. The number of Shares that are subject to Options or other rights outstanding at any time under the Plan shall not exceed the number of Shares which then remain available for
issuance under the Plan. The Company, during the term of the Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available sufficient Shares to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
  
 (b) Additional Shares. If Restricted Shares or Shares issued upon the exercise of Options are forfeited, then such
Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If Options or SARs are forfeited or terminate for any other reason before being exercised, then the corresponding Shares shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. If SARs
are exercised, then only the number of Shares (if any) actually issued in settlement of such SARs shall reduce the number available in Section 5(a) and the balance shall again become available for Awards under the Plan. 
  
 SECTION 6.    RESTRICTED SHARES 
  
 (a) Restricted Stock Agreement. Each grant of Restricted Shares under
the Plan shall be evidenced by a Restricted Stock Agreement between the recipient and the Company. Such Restricted Shares shall be subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the
Plan. The provisions of the various Restricted Stock Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. 
  
 (b) Payment for Awards. Subject to the following sentence, Restricted Shares may be sold or awarded under the Plan for such consideration as the
Committee may determine, including (without limitation) cash, cash equivalents, full-recourse promissory notes, past services and future services. To the extent that an Award consists of newly issued Restricted Shares, the Award recipient shall
furnish consideration with a value not less than the par value of such Restricted Shares in the form of cash, cash equivalents, or past services rendered to the Company (or a Parent or Subsidiary), as the Committee may determine. 
  
 (c) Vesting. Each Award of Restricted Shares may or may not be subject
to vesting. Vesting shall occur, in full or in installments, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Restricted Stock Agreement. A Restricted Stock Agreement may provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the Participant’s
death, disability or retirement or other events. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting Restricted Shares of thereafter, that all or part of such Restricted Shares shall become vested in the event that a Change in Control occurs with
respect to the Company. 
  
 (d) Voting and Dividend Rights.
The holders of Restricted Shares awarded under the Plan shall have the same voting, dividend and other rights as the Company’s other stockholders. A Restricted Stock Agreement, however, may require that the holders of Restricted Shares invest
any cash dividends received in additional Restricted Shares. Such additional Restricted Shares 

  

 - 9 - 








 
shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions as the Award with respect to which the dividends were paid. 
  
 (e) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Restricted Shares shall be
subject to such rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal or other restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Restricted Stock Agreement and shall apply in addition to any general
restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares. 
  
 SECTION
7.    TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS. 
  
 (a) Stock Option Agreement. Each grant of an Option under the Plan shall be evidenced by a Stock Option Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such Option shall be subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Plan
and may be subject to any other terms and conditions which are not inconsistent with the Plan and which the Committee deems appropriate for inclusion in a Stock Option Agreement. The Stock Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an ISO
or an NSO. The provisions of the various Stock Option Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. Options may be granted in consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation. 
  
 (b) Number of Shares. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify the
number of Shares that are subject to the Option and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 10. Options granted to an Optionee in a single calendar year of the Company shall not cover more than 3,000,000 Shares,
except that Options granted to a new Employee or Consultant in the calendar year of the Company in which his or her Service first commences shall not cover more than 5,000,000 Shares (in each case subject to adjustment in accordance with Section
10). 
  
 (c) Exercise Price. Each Stock Option Agreement
shall specify the Exercise Price. The Exercise Price of an ISO shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except as otherwise provided in Section 4(c), and the Exercise Price of an NSO shall not be less 85%
of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stock Option Agreement may specify that the exercise price of an NSO may vary in accordance with a predetermined formula. Subject to the foregoing in this
Section 7(c), the Exercise Price under any Option shall be determined by the Committee at its sole discretion. The Exercise Price shall be payable in one of the forms described in Section 8. 
  
 (d) Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the exercise of an Option,
the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with such exercise. The Optionee shall also make such
arrangements as the Committee may require for the satisfaction of any federal, state, local or foreign withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the disposition of Shares acquired by exercising an Option. 
  
 (e) Exercisability and Term. Each Stock Option Agreement shall specify
the date when all or any installment of the Option is to become exercisable. The Stock Option Agreement shall also specify the term of the Option; provided that the term of an ISO shall in no event exceed 10 years from the date of grant (five years
for Employees described in Section 

  

 - 10 - 








 
4(c)). A Stock Option Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, disability, or retirement or other
events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s Service. Options may be awarded in combination with SARs, and such an Award may provide that the Options will not be
exercisable unless the related SARs are forfeited. Subject to the foregoing in this Section 7(e), the Committee at its sole discretion shall determine when all or any installment of an Option is to become exercisable and when an Option is to expire.

  
 (f) Exercise of Options Upon Termination of Service.
Each Stock Option Agreement shall set forth the extent to which the Optionee shall have the right to exercise the Option following termination of the Optionee’s Service with the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the right to exercise the Option
of any executors or administrators of the Optionee’s estate or any person who has acquired such Option(s) directly from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance. Such provisions shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee, need
not be uniform among all Options issued pursuant to the Plan, and may reflect distinctions based on the reasons for termination of Service. 
  
 (g) Effect of Change in Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting an Option or thereafter, that such Option shall become
exercisable as to all or part of the Shares subject to such Option in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company. 
  
 (h) Leaves of Absence. An Employee’s Service shall cease when such Employee ceases to be actively employed by, or a Consultant to, the Company
(or any subsidiary) as determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors. For purposes of Options, Service does not terminate when an Employee goes on a bona fide leave of absence, that was approved by the Company in writing, if the terms
of the leave provide for continued service crediting, or when continued service crediting is required by applicable law. However, for purposes of determining whether an Option is entitled to ISO status, an Employee’s Service will be treated as
terminating 90 days after such Employee went on leave, unless such Employee’s right to return to active work is guaranteed by law or by a contract. Service terminates in any event when the approved leave ends, unless such Employee immediately
returns to active work. The Company determines which leaves count toward Service, and when Service terminates for all purposes under the Plan. 
  
 (i) No Rights as a Stockholder. An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee, shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares
covered by his Option until the date of the issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares. No adjustments shall be made, except as provided in Section 10. 
  
 (j) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding
options or may accept the cancellation of outstanding options (to the extent not previously exercised), whether or not granted hereunder, in return for the grant of new Options for the same or a different number of Shares and at the same or a
different exercise price, or in return for the grant of the same or a different number of Shares. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of an Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, adversely affect his or her rights or
obligations under such Option. 
  

 - 11 - 








 (k) Restrictions on Transfer of Shares. Any Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be
subject to such special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other transfer restrictions as the Committee may determine. Such restrictions shall be set forth in the applicable Stock Option Agreement and shall
apply in addition to any general restrictions that may apply to all holders of Shares. 
  
 (l) Buyout Provisions. The Committee may at any time (a) offer to buy out for a payment in cash or cash equivalents an Option previously granted or (b) authorize an Optionee to elect to cash out an Option
previously granted, in either case at such time and based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish. 
  
 SECTION 8.    PAYMENT FOR SHARES. 
  
 (a) General Rule. The entire Exercise Price or Purchase Price of Shares issued under the Plan shall be payable in lawful money of the United States
of America at the time when such Shares are purchased, except as provided in Section 8(b) through Section 8(g) below. 
  
 (b) Surrender of Stock. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by surrendering, or attesting
to the ownership of, Shares which have already been owned by the Optionee or his representative. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when the new Shares are purchased under the Plan. The Optionee shall not surrender,
or attest to the ownership of, Shares in payment of the Exercise Price if such action would cause the Company to recognize compensation expense (or additional compensation expense) with respect to the Option for financial reporting purposes.

  
 (c) Services Rendered. At the discretion of the
Committee, Shares may be awarded under the Plan in consideration of services rendered to the Company or a Subsidiary prior to the award. If Shares are awarded without the payment of a Purchase Price in cash, the Committee shall make a determination
(at the time of the award) of the value of the services rendered by the Offeree and the sufficiency of the consideration to meet the requirements of Section 6(b). 
  
 (d) Cashless Exercise. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by
delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker to sell Shares and to deliver all or part of the sale proceeds to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. 
  
 (e) Exercise/Pledge. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement so
provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivery (on a form prescribed by the Committee) of an irrevocable direction to a securities broker or lender to pledge Shares, as security for a loan, and to deliver all or part of the loan proceeds
to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price. 
  
 (f)
Promissory Note. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement so provides, payment may be made all or in part by delivering (on a form prescribed by the Company) a full-recourse promissory note. However, the par
value of the Common Shares being purchased under the Plan, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents. 
  

 - 12 - 








 (g) Other Forms of Payment. To the extent that a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock
Agreement so provides, payment may be made in any other form that is consistent with applicable laws, regulations and rules. 
  
 (h) Limitations under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in a Stock Option Agreement or Restricted Stock Agreement to the contrary,
payment may not be made in any form that is unlawful, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. 
  
 SECTION 9.    STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS. 
  
 (a) SAR Agreement. Each grant of a SAR under the Plan shall be evidenced by a SAR Agreement between the Optionee and the Company. Such SAR shall be
subject to all applicable terms of the Plan and may be subject to any other terms that are not inconsistent with the Plan. The provisions of the various SAR Agreements entered into under the Plan need not be identical. SARs may be granted in
consideration of a reduction in the Optionee’s other compensation. 
  
 (b) Number of Shares. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the number of Shares to which the SAR pertains and shall provide for the adjustment of such number in accordance with Section 10. SARs granted to any Optionee in a single
calendar year shall in no event pertain to more than 3,000,000 Shares, except that SARs granted to a new Employee or Consultant in the calendar year of the Company in which his or her Service first commences shall not pertain to more than 5,000,000
Shares. The limitations set forth in the preceding sentence shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with
Section 10. 
  
 (c) Exercise Price. Each SAR Agreement
shall specify the Exercise Price. A SAR Agreement may specify an Exercise Price that varies in accordance with a predetermined formula while the SAR is outstanding. 
  
 (d) Exercisability and Term. Each SAR Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to
become exercisable. The SAR Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Optionee’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for
expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Optionee’s service. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options
are forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control. 
  
 (e) Effect of Change in
Control. The Committee may determine, at the time of granting a SAR or thereafter, that such SAR shall become fully exercisable as to all Common Shares subject to such SAR in the event that a Change in Control occurs with respect to the Company.

  
 (f) Exercise of SARs. Upon exercise of a SAR, the
Optionee (or any person having the right to exercise the SAR after his or her death) shall receive from the Company (a) Shares, (b) cash or (c) a combination of Shares and cash, as the Committee shall determine. The amount 

  

 - 13 - 








 
of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of Shares received upon exercise of SARs shall, in the aggregate, be equal to the amount by which the Fair Market Value
(on the date of surrender) of the Shares subject to the SARs exceeds the Exercise Price. 
  
 (g) Modification or Assumption of SARs. Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or assume outstanding SARs or may accept the cancellation of outstanding SARs (whether granted by the
Company or by another issuer) in return for the grant of new SARs for the same or a different number of shares and at the same or a different exercise price. The foregoing notwithstanding, no modification of a SAR shall, without the consent of the
holder, may alter or impair his or her rights or obligations under such SAR. 
  
 SECTION 10.    ADJUSTMENT OF SHARES. 
  
 (a) Adjustments. In the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock, a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, a declaration of a dividend payable in a form other than Shares in an amount that has a
material effect on the price of Shares, a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Shares, a recapitalization, a spin-off or a similar occurrence, the Committee shall make such
adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate in one or more of: 
  
 (i) The number of Options, SARs and Restricted Shares available for future Awards under Section 5; 
  
 (ii) The limitations set forth in Section 5(a), Section 7(b)
and Section 9(b); 
  
 (iii) The number of NSOs to
be granted to Outside Directors under Section 4(b); 
  
 (iv) The number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option and SAR; or 
  
 (v) The Exercise Price under each outstanding Option and SAR. 
  
 Except as provided in this Section 10, a Participant shall have no rights by reason of any issue by the Company of stock of any class or
securities convertible into stock of any class, any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any stock dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. 
  
 (b) Dissolution or Liquidation. To the extent not previously exercised
or settled, Options and SARs shall terminate immediately prior to the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. 
  
 (c) Reorganizations. In the event that the Company is a party to a merger or other reorganization, outstanding Awards shall be subject to the
agreement of merger or reorganization. Such agreement shall provide for: 
  
 (i) The continuation of the outstanding Awards by the Company, if the Company is a surviving corporation; 
  

 - 14 - 








 (ii) The assumption of the outstanding Awards by the surviving corporation or its parent
or subsidiary; 
  
 (iii) The substitution by the
surviving corporation or its parent or subsidiary of its own awards for the outstanding Awards; 
  
 (iv) Full exercisability or vesting and accelerated expiration of the outstanding Awards; or 
  
 (v) Settlement of the full value of the outstanding Awards in
cash or cash equivalents followed by cancellation of such Awards. 
  
 (d) Reservation of Rights. Except as provided in this Section 10, an Optionee or Offeree shall have no rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend or any other
increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class. Any issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be
made with respect to, the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option. The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations or
changes of its capital or business structure, to merge or consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  
 SECTION 11.    LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS. 
  
 Shares shall not be issued under the Plan unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares complies with (or is exempt from) all applicable requirements of
law, including (without limitation) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, state securities laws and regulations and the regulations of any stock exchange on which the Company’s securities may
then be listed, and the Company has obtained the approval or favorable ruling from any governmental agency which the Company determines is necessary or advisable. 
  
 SECTION 12.    WITHHOLDING TAXES. 
  
 (a) General. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, a Participant or his or her
successor shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise in connection with the Plan. The Company shall not be required to issue any Shares or make any cash payment under the
Plan until such obligations are satisfied. 
  
 (b) Share
Withholding. The Committee may permit a Participant to satisfy all or part of his or her withholding or income tax obligations by having the Company withhold all or a portion of any Shares that otherwise would be issued to him or her or by
surrendering all or a portion of any Shares that he or she previously acquired. Such Shares shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date when taxes otherwise would be withheld in cash. In no event may a Participant have Shares withheld
that would otherwise be issued to him or her in excess of the number necessary to satisfy the legally required minimum tax withholding. 
  

 - 15 - 








 SECTION 13.    LIMITATION ON PARACHUTE PAYMENTS. 
  
 (a) Scope of Limitation. This Section 13 shall apply to an Award only
if: 
  
 (i) The independent auditors most recently
selected by the Board (the “Auditors”) determine that the after-tax value of such Award to the Optionee or Offeree, taking into account the effect of all federal, state and local income taxes, employment taxes and excise taxes applicable
to the Optionee or Offeree (including the excise tax under section 4999 of the Code), will be greater after the application of this Section 13 than it was before application of this Section 13; or 
  
 (ii) The Committee, at the time of making an Award under the
Plan or at any time thereafter, specifies in writing that such Award shall be subject to this Section 13 (regardless of the after-tax value of such Award to the Participant). 
  
 (b) Basic Rule. In the event that the Auditors determine that any payment or transfer by the Company under the Plan
to or for the benefit of a Participant (a “Payment”) would be nondeductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes because of the provisions concerning “excess parachute payments” in Section 280G of the Code, then the
aggregate present value of all Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to the Reduced Amount. For purposes of this Section 13, the “Reduced Amount” shall be the amount, expressed as a present value, which maximizes the aggregate
present value of the Payments without causing any Payment to be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code. 
  
 (c) Reduction of Payments. If the Auditors determine that any Payment would be nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of the Code,
then the Company shall promptly give the Participant notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof and of the Reduced Amount, and the Participant may then elect, in his or her sole discretion, which and how much of the
Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the Reduced Amount) and shall advise the Company in writing of his or her election within 10 days of receipt of notice. If no
such election is made by the Participant within such 10-day period, then the Company may elect which and how much of the Payments shall be eliminated or reduced (as long as after such election the aggregate present value of the Payments equals the
Reduced Amount) and shall notify the Participant promptly of such election. For purposes of this Section 13, present value shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. All determinations made by the Auditors under this
Section 13 shall be binding upon the Company and the Participant and shall be made within 60 days of the date when a Payment becomes payable or transferable. As promptly as practicable following such determination and the elections hereunder, the
Company shall pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant such amounts as are then due to him or her under the Plan and shall promptly pay or transfer to or for the benefit of the Participant in the future such amounts as become due to
him or her under the Plan. 
  
 (d) Overpayments and
Underpayments. As a result of uncertainty in the application of Section 280G of the Code at the time of an initial determination by the Auditors hereunder, it is possible that Payments will have been made by the Company that should not have been
made (an “Overpayment”) or that additional Payments that will not have been made by the Company 

  

 - 16 - 








 
could have been made (an “Underpayment”), consistent in each case with the calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the
Auditors, based upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or the Participant that the Auditors believe has a high probability of success, determine that an Overpayment has been made, such Overpayment
shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to the Participant which he or she shall repay to the Company, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no amount shall be
payable by the Participant to the Company if and to the extent that such payment would not reduce the amount subject to taxation under Section 4999 of the Code. In the event that the Auditors determine that an Underpayment has occurred, such
Underpayment shall promptly be paid or transferred by the Company to or for the benefit of the Participant, together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. 
  
 (e) Related Corporations. For purposes of this Section 13, the term
“Company” shall include affiliated corporations to the extent determined by the Auditors in accordance with Section 280G(d)(5) of the Code. 
  
 SECTION 14.    NO EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS. 
  
 No provision of the Plan, nor any right or Option granted under the Plan, shall be construed to give any person any right to become, to be treated as, or
to remain an Employee. The Company and its Subsidiaries reserve the right to terminate any person’s Service at any time and for any reason, with or without notice. 
  
 SECTION 15.    DURATION AND AMENDMENTS. 
  
 (a) Term of the Plan. The Plan, as set forth herein, shall terminate automatically on September 1, 2013, and may be
terminated on any earlier date pursuant to Subsection (b) below. 
  
 (b) Right to Amend or Terminate the Plan. The Board of Directors may amend the Plan at any time and from time to time. Rights and obligations under any Option granted before amendment of the Plan shall not be materially impaired by
such amendment, except with consent of the person to whom the Option was granted. An amendment of the Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Company’s stockholders only to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations or rules.

  
 (c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No Shares shall
be issued or sold under the Plan after the termination thereof, except upon exercise of an Option granted prior to such termination. The termination of the Plan, or any amendment thereof, shall not affect any Share previously issued or any Option
previously granted under the Plan. 
  
 SECTION
16.    EXECUTION. 
  
 To record the
adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors effective as of September 2, 2003, the Company has caused its authorized officer to execute the same.
