 1999 STOCK OPTION/STOCK ISSUANCE PLAN 
  
 ARTICLE ONE  
  
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
  
 I. PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 
  
 This 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan is intended to promote the interests of ProFlowers, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by providing eligible persons
in the Corporation’s employ or service with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest, or otherwise increase their proprietary interest, in the Corporation as an incentive for them to continue in such employ or service. 
  
 Capitalized terms herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the attached Appendix. 
  
 II. STRUCTURE OF THE PLAN

  
 A. The Plan shall be divided into two (2) separate equity
programs: 
  
 (i) the Option Grant Program under
which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be granted options to purchase shares of Common Stock, and 
  
 (ii) the Stock Issuance Program under which eligible persons may, at the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be issued shares of Common
Stock directly, either through the immediate purchase of such shares or as a bonus for services rendered the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 
  
 B. The provisions of Articles One and Four shall apply to both equity programs under the Plan and shall accordingly govern the interests of all persons
under the Plan. 
  
 III. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN

  
 A. The Plan shall be administered by the Board. However,
any or all administrative functions otherwise exercisable by the Board may be delegated to the Committee. Members of the Committee shall serve for such period of time as the Board may determine and shall be subject to removal by the Board at any
time. The Board may also at any time terminate the functions of the Committee and reassume all powers and authority previously delegated to the Committee. 
  
 B. The Plan Administrator shall have full power and authority (subject to the provisions of the Plan) to establish such rules and regulations as it may
deem appropriate for proper administration of the Plan and to make such determinations under, and issue such interpretations of, the Plan and any outstanding options or stock issuances thereunder as it may deem necessary or advisable. Decisions of
the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties who have an interest in the Plan or any option grant or stock issuance thereunder. 







 IV. ELIGIBILITY 
  
 A. The persons eligible to participate in the Plan are as follows: 
  
 (i) Employees, 
  
 (ii) non-employee members of the Board or the non-employee
members of the board of directors of any Parent or Subsidiary, and 
  
 (iii) consultants and other independent advisors who provide services to the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary). 
  
 B. The Plan Administrator shall have full authority to determine, (i) with respect to the grants made under the Option Grant Program, which eligible
persons are to receive such grants, the time or times when those grants are to be made, the number of shares to be covered by each such grant, the status of the granted option as either an Incentive Option or a Non-Statutory Option, the time or
times when each option is to become exercisable, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the option shares and the maximum term for which the option is to remain outstanding, and (ii) with respect to stock issuances made under the Stock Issuance
Program, which eligible persons are to receive such issuances, the time or times when those issuances are to be made, the number of shares to be issued to each Participant, the vesting schedule (if any) applicable to the issued shares and the
consideration to be paid by the Participant for such shares. 
  
 C. The Plan Administrator shall have the absolute discretion either to grant options in accordance with the Option Grant Program or to effect stock issuances in accordance with the Stock Issuance Program. 
  
 V. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN 
  
 A. The stock issuable under the Plan shall be shares of authorized but
unissued or reacquired Common Stock. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued over the term of the Plan shall not exceed 5,000,000 shares. 
  
 B. Shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding options shall be available for subsequent issuance under the Plan to the
extent (i) the options expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise in full or (ii) the options are cancelled in accordance with the cancellation-regrant provisions of Article Two. Unvested shares issued under the Plan and subsequently
repurchased by the Corporation, at the option exercise or direct issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Corporation’s repurchase rights under the Plan shall be added back to the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under
the Plan and shall accordingly be available for reissuance through one or more subsequent option grants or direct stock issuances under the Plan. 
  
 C. Should any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares
or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan and (ii)
the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect under each outstanding option in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of benefits thereunder. The adjustments determined by the Plan Administrator shall be
final, binding and conclusive. In no event 

  

 2 








 
shall any such adjustments be made in connection with the conversion of one or more outstanding shares of the Corporation’s preferred stock into shares
of Common Stock.

 ARTICLE TWO  
  
 OPTION GRANT PROGRAM 
  

I. OPTION TERMS 
  
 Each option shall be evidenced by one or more documents in the form approved by the Plan Administrator; provided, however, that each such
document shall comply with the terms specified below. Each document evidencing an Incentive Option shall, in addition, be subject to the provisions of the Plan applicable to such options. 
  
 A. Exercise Price. 
  
 1. The exercise price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator in accordance with the following provisions: 
  
 (i) The exercise price per share shall not be less than
eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 
  
 (ii) If the person to whom the option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the exercise price per share shall not be less than one
hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 
  
 2. The exercise price shall become immediately due upon exercise of the option and shall, subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four and the
documents evidencing the option, be payable in cash or check made payable to the Corporation. Should the Common Stock be registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act at the time the option is exercised, then the exercise price may also be paid as
follows: 
  
 (i) in shares of Common Stock held
for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Corporation’s earnings for financial reporting purposes and valued at Fair Market Value on the Exercise Date, or 
  
 (ii) to the extent the option is exercised for vested shares, through a special sale and remittance
procedure pursuant to which the Optionee shall concurrently provide irrevocable instructions (A) to a Corporation-designated brokerage firm to effect the immediate sale of the purchased shares and remit to the Corporation, out of the sale proceeds
available on the settlement date, sufficient funds to cover the aggregate exercise price payable for the purchased shares plus all applicable Federal, state and local income and employment taxes required to be withheld by the Corporation by reason
of such exercise and (B) to the Corporation to deliver the certificates for the purchased shares directly to such brokerage firm in order to complete the sale. 
  

Except to the extent such sale and remittance procedure is utilized, payment of the exercise price for the purchased shares must be made on the
Exercise Date. 
  

 4 








 B. Exercise and Term of Options. Each option shall be exercisable at such time or times,
during such period and for such number of shares as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the documents evidencing the option grant. However, no option shall have a term in excess of ten (10) years measured from the option
grant date. 
  
 C. Effect of Termination of Service.

  
 1. The following provisions shall govern the exercise of any
options held by the Optionee at the time of cessation of Service or death: 
  
 (i) Should the Optionee cease to remain in Service for any reason other than death, Disability or Misconduct, then the Optionee shall have a period of three (3) months following the date of such cessation of Service
during which to exercise each outstanding option held by such Optionee. 
  
 (ii) Should Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of Disability, then the Optionee shall have a period of twelve (12) months following the date of such cessation of Service during which to exercise each
outstanding option held by such Optionee. 
  
 (iii) If the Optionee dies while holding an outstanding option, then the personal representative of his or her estate or the person or persons to whom the option is transferred pursuant to the Optionee’s will or the laws of inheritance
or the Optionee’s designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of that option shall have a twelve (12)-month period following the date of the Optionee’s death to exercise such option. 
  
 (iv) Under no circumstances, however, shall any such option
be exercisable after the specified expiration of the option term. 
  
 (v) During the applicable post-Service exercise period, the option may not be exercised in the aggregate for more than the number of vested shares for which the option is exercisable on the date of the Optionee’s
cessation of Service. Upon the expiration of the applicable exercise period or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the option term, the option shall terminate and cease to be outstanding for any vested shares for which the option has not been
exercised. However, the option shall, immediately upon the Optionee’s cessation of Service, terminate and cease to be outstanding with respect to any and all option shares for which the option is not otherwise at the time exercisable or in
which the Optionee is not otherwise at that time vested. 
  
 (vi) Should Optionee’s Service be terminated for Misconduct or should Optionee otherwise engage in Misconduct while holding one or more outstanding options under the Plan, then all those options shall terminate
immediately and cease to remain outstanding. 
  
 2. The Plan
Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time an option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to: 
  
 (i) extend the period of time for which the option is to remain exercisable following Optionee’s cessation of Service or death from
the limited period otherwise in effect for that option to such greater period of time as the Plan 

  

 5 








 
Administrator shall deem appropriate, but in no event beyond the expiration of the option term, and/or 
  
 (ii) permit the option to be exercised, during the
applicable post-Service exercise period, not only with respect to the number of vested shares of Common Stock for which such option is exercisable at the time of the Optionee’s cessation of Service, but also with respect to one or more
additional installments in which the Optionee would have vested under the option had the Optionee continued in Service. 
  
 D. Stockholder Rights. The holder of an option shall have no stockholder rights with respect to the shares subject to the option until such
person shall have exercised the option, paid the exercise price and become the recordholder of the purchased shares. 
  
 E. Unvested Shares. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretion to grant options which are exercisable for unvested shares of Common
Stock. Should the Optionee cease Service while holding such unvested shares, the Corporation shall have the right to repurchase, at the exercise price paid per share, any or all of those unvested shares. The terms upon which such repurchase right
shall be exercisable (including the period and procedure for exercise and the appropriate vesting schedule for the purchased shares) shall be established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such repurchase right. The
Plan Administrator may not impose a vesting schedule upon any option grant or the shares of Common Stock subject to that option which is more restrictive than twenty percent (20%) per year vesting, with the initial vesting to occur not later than
one (1) year after the option grant date. However, such limitation shall not be applicable to any option grants made to individuals who are officers of the Corporation, non-employee Board members or independent consultants. 
  
 F. First Refusal Rights. Until such time as the Common Stock is
first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Optionee (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan.
Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right. 
  
 G. Limited Transferability of Options. An Incentive Stock Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee
during his or her lifetime and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws of inheritance following the Optionee’s death. A Non-Statutory Option may be assigned in whole or in part during the Optionee’s
lifetime to one or more members of the Optionee’s family or to a trust established exclusively for one or more such family members or to Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent such assignment is in connection with the Optionee’s
estate plan or pursuant to a domestic relations order. The assigned portion may only be exercised by the person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the Non-Statutory Option pursuant to the assignment. The terms applicable to the
assigned portion shall be the same as those in effect for the option immediately prior to such assignment and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the assignee as the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Optionee may also designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of his or her outstanding options under the Plan, and those options shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically be transferred to such beneficiary
or beneficiaries upon the Optionee’s death while holding those options. Such beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred options subject to all the terms and conditions of the applicable agreement evidencing each such transferred
option, including (without limitation) the limited time period during which the option may be exercised following the Optionee’s death. 
  

 6 








 II. INCENTIVE OPTIONS 
  
 The terms specified below shall be applicable to all Incentive Options. Except as modified by the provisions of this Section
II, all the provision’s of Articles One, Two and Four shall be applicable to Incentive Options. Options which are specifically designated as Non-Statutory Options shall not be subject to the terms of this Section II. 
  
 A. Eligibility. Incentive Options may only be granted to
Employees. 
  
 B. Exercise Price. The exercise price
per share shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the option grant date. 
  
 C. Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock (determined as of the respective date or dates of grant)
for which one or more options granted to any Employee under the Plan (or any other option plan of the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary) may for the first time become exercisable as Incentive Options during any one (1) calendar year shall not
exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). To the extent the Employee holds two (2) or more such options which become exercisable for the first time in the same calendar year, the foregoing limitation on the exercisability of such
options as Incentive Options shall be applied on the basis of the order in which such options are granted. 
  
 D. 10% Stockholder. If any Employee to whom an Incentive Option is granted is a 10% Stockholder, then the option term shall not exceed five
(5) years measured from the option grant date. 
  
 III.
CORPORATE TRANSACTION 
  
 A. The shares subject to each
option outstanding under the Plan at the time of a Corporate Transaction shall automatically vest in full so that each such option shall, immediately prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction, become exercisable for all of the shares
of Common Stock at the time subject to that option and may be exercised for any or all of those shares as fully vested shares of Common Stock. However, the shares subject to an outstanding option shall not vest on such an accelerated basis if
and to the extent: (i) such option is assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in the Corporate Transaction and any repurchase rights of the Corporation with respect to the unvested option shares are concurrently assigned to such
successor corporation (or parent thereof) or (ii) such option is to be replaced with a cash incentive program of the successor corporation which preserves the spread existing on the unvested option shares at the time of the Corporate Transaction and
provides for subsequent payout in accordance with the same vesting schedule applicable to those unvested option shares or (iii) the acceleration of such option is subject to other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time of the
option grant. 
  
 B. All outstanding repurchase rights shall also
terminate automatically, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, in the event of any Corporate Transaction, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor
corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued. 
  

 7 








 C. Immediately following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, all outstanding options shall
terminate and cease to be outstanding, except to the extent assumed by the successor corporation (or parent thereof). 
  
 D. Each option which is assumed in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall be appropriately adjusted, immediately after such Corporate Transaction,
to apply to the number and class of securities which would have been issuable to the Optionee in consummation of such Corporate Transaction, had the option been exercised immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction. Appropriate adjustments shall
also be made to (i) the number and class of securities available for issuance under the Plan following the consummation of such Corporate Transaction and (ii) the exercise price payable per share under each outstanding option, provided the
aggregate exercise price payable for such securities shall remain the same. To the extent the actual holders of the Corporation’s outstanding Common Stock receive cash consideration for their Common Stock in consummation of the Corporate
Transaction, the successor corporation may, in connection with the assumption of the outstanding options under this Plan, substitute one or more shares of its own common stock with a fair market value equivalent to the cash consideration paid per
share of Common Stock in such Corporate Transaction. 
  
 E. The
Plan Administrator shall have the discretion, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure one or more options so that those options shall automatically accelerate and vest in
full (and any repurchase rights of the Corporation with respect to the unvested shares subject to those options shall immediately terminate) upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, whether or not those options are to be assumed in the
Corporate Transaction. 
  
 F. The Plan Administrator shall also
have full power and authority, exercisable either at the time the option is granted or at any time while the option remains outstanding, to structure such option so that the shares subject to that option will automatically vest on an accelerated
basis should the Optionee’s Service terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate Transaction in which the option is assumed and
the repurchase rights applicable to those shares do not otherwise terminate. Any option so accelerated shall remain exercisable for the fully vested option shares until the expiration or sooner termination of the option term. In addition, the Plan
Administrator may provide that one or more of the Corporation’s outstanding repurchase rights with respect to shares held by the Optionee at the time of such Involuntary Termination shall immediately terminate on an accelerated basis, and the
shares subject to those terminated rights shall accordingly vest at that time. 
  
 G. The portion of any Incentive Option accelerated in connection with a Corporate Transaction shall remain exercisable as an Incentive Option only to the extent the applicable One Hundred Thousand Dollar limitation is
not exceeded. To the extent such dollar limitation is exceeded, the accelerated portion of such option shall be exercisable as a Non-Statutory Option under the Federal tax laws. 
  
 H. The grant of options under the Plan shall in no way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust, reclassify, reorganize
or otherwise change its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets. 
  
 IV. CANCELLATION AND REGRANT OF OPTIONS 
  
 The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to effect, at any time and from time to time, with the consent of the
affected option holders, the cancellation of any or all outstanding options 

  

 8 








 
under the Plan and to grant in substitution therefor new options covering the same or different number of shares of Common Stock but with an exercise price
per share based on the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock on the new option grant date.

 ARTICLE THREE  
  
 STOCK ISSUANCE PROGRAM  
  
 I. STOCK ISSUANCE TERMS 
  
 Shares of Common Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program through direct and immediate issuances without any intervening option grants. Each
such stock issuance shall be evidenced by a Stock Issuance Agreement which complies with the terms specified below. 
  
 A. Purchase Price. 
  
 1. The purchase price per share shall be fixed by the Plan Administrator but shall not be less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Fair Market Value
per share of Common Stock on the issue date. However, the purchase price per share of Common Stock issued to a 10% Stockholder shall not be less than one hundred and ten percent (110%) of such Fair Market Value. 
  
 2. Subject to the provisions of Section I of Article Four, shares of Common
Stock may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program for any of the following items of consideration which the Plan Administrator may deem appropriate in each individual instance: 
  
 (i) cash or check made payable to the Corporation, or 
  
 (ii) past services rendered to the Corporation (or any
Parent or Subsidiary). 
  
 B. Vesting Provisions.

  
 1. Shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance
Program may, in the discretion of the Plan Administrator, be fully and immediately vested upon issuance or may vest in one or more installments over the Participant’s period of Service or upon attainment of specified performance objectives.
However, the Plan Administrator may not impose a vesting schedule upon any stock issuance effected under the Stock Issuance Program which is more restrictive than twenty percent (20%) per year vesting, with initial vesting to occur not later than
one (1) year after the issuance date. Such limitation shall not apply to any Common Stock issuances made to the officers of the Corporation, non-employee Board members or independent consultants. 
  
 2. Any new, substituted or additional securities or other property
(including money paid other than as a regular cash dividend) which the Participant may have the right to receive with respect to the Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization,
combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the Corporation’s receipt of consideration shall be issued subject to (i) the same vesting requirements applicable to the
Participant’s unvested shares of Common Stock and (ii) such escrow arrangements as the Plan Administrator shall deem appropriate. 
  
 3. The Participant shall have full stockholder rights with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued to the Participant under the Stock Issuance
Program, whether or not the Participant’s interest in those shares is vested. Accordingly, the Participant shall have the right to vote such shares and to receive any regular cash dividends paid on such shares. 
  

 10 








 4. Should the Participant cease to remain in Service while holding one or more unvested shares of Common
Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program or should the performance objectives not be attained with respect to one or more such unvested shares of Common Stock, then those shares shall be immediately surrendered to the Corporation for
cancellation, and the Participant shall have no further stockholder rights with respect to those shares. To the extent the surrendered shares were previously issued to the Participant for consideration paid in cash or cash equivalent (including the
Participant’s purchase-money indebtedness), the Corporation shall repay to the Participant the cash consideration paid for the surrendered shares and shall cancel the unpaid principal balance of any outstanding purchase-money note of the
Participant attributable to such surrendered shares. 
  
 5. The
Plan Administrator may in its discretion waive the surrender and cancellation of one or more unvested shares of Common Stock (or other assets attributable thereto) which would otherwise occur upon the non-completion of the vesting schedule
applicable to those shares. Such waiver shall result in the immediate vesting of the Participant’s interest in the shares of Common Stock as to which the waiver applies. Such waiver, may be effected at any time, whether before or after the
Participant’s cessation of Service or the attainment or non-attainment of the applicable performance objectives. 
  
 C. First Refusal Rights. Until such time as the Common Stock is first registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Act, the Corporation shall
have the right of first refusal with respect to any proposed disposition by the Participant (or any successor in interest) of any shares of Common Stock issued under the Stock Issuance Program. Such right of first refusal shall be exercisable in
accordance with the terms established by the Plan Administrator and set forth in the document evidencing such right. 
  
 II. CORPORATE TRANSACTION 
  
 A. Upon the occurrence of a Corporate Transaction, all outstanding repurchase rights under the Stock Issuance Program shall terminate automatically, and
the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall immediately vest in full, except to the extent: (i) those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof) in connection with such Corporate
Transaction or (ii) such accelerated vesting is precluded by other limitations imposed by the Plan Administrator at the time the repurchase right is issued. 
  
 B. The Plan Administrator shall have the discretionary authority, exercisable either at the time the unvested shares are issued or any time while the
Corporation’s repurchase rights with respect to those shares remain outstanding, to provide that those rights shall automatically terminate on an accelerated basis, and the shares of Common Stock subject to those terminated rights shall
immediately vest, in the event the Participant’s Service should subsequently terminate by reason of an Involuntary Termination within a designated period (not to exceed eighteen (18) months) following the effective date of any Corporate
Transaction in which those repurchase rights are assigned to the successor corporation (or parent thereof). 
  
 III. SHARE ESCROW/LEGENDS 
  
 Unvested shares may, in the Plan Administrator’s discretion, be held in escrow by the Corporation until the Participant’s interest in such
shares vests or may be issued directly to the Participant with restrictive legends on the certificates evidencing those unvested shares. 
  

 11 








 ARTICLE FOUR  
  
 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 I. FINANCING 
  
 The Plan Administrator may permit any Optionee or Participant to pay the option exercise price under the Option Grant Program or the purchase price for
shares issued under the Stock Issuance Program by delivering a full-recourse, interest bearing promissory note payable in one or more installments and secured by the purchased shares. In no event, however, may the maximum credit available to the
Optionee or Participant exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate option exercise price or purchase price payable for the purchased shares (less the par value of those shares) plus (ii) any Federal, state and local income and employment tax liability
incurred by the Optionee or the Participant in connection with the option exercise or share purchase. 
  
 II. EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM OF PLAN 
  
 A. The Plan shall become effective when adopted by the Board, but no option granted under the Plan may be exercised, and no shares shall be issued under
the Plan, until the Plan is approved by the Corporation’s stockholders. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board’s adoption of the Plan, then all options previously granted under
the Plan shall terminate and cease to be outstanding, and no further options shall be granted and no shares shall be issued under the Plan. Subject to such limitation, the Plan Administrator may grant options and issue shares under the Plan at any
time after the effective date of the Plan and before the date fixed herein for termination of the Plan. 
  
 B. The Plan shall terminate upon the earliest of (i) the expiration of the ten (10)-year period measured from the date the Plan is adopted by the
Board, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the Plan shall have been issued as vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding options in connection with a Corporate Transaction. All options and unvested stock
issuances outstanding at the time of a clause (i) termination event shall continue to have full force and effect in accordance with the provisions of the documents evidencing those options or issuances. 
  
 III. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN 
  
 A. The Board shall have complete and exclusive power and authority to amend
or modify the Plan in any or all respects. However, no such amendment or modification shall adversely affect the rights and obligations with respect to options or unvested stock issuances at the time outstanding under the Plan unless the Optionee or
the Participant consents to such amendment or modification. In addition, certain amendments may require stockholder approval pursuant to applicable laws and regulations. 
  
 B. Options may be granted under the Option Grant Program and shares may be issued under the Stock Issuance Program which are
in each instance in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock then available for issuance under the Plan, provided any excess shares actually issued under those programs shall be held in escrow until there is obtained stockholder approval of an
amendment sufficiently increasing the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. If such stockholder approval is not obtained within twelve (12) months after the date the first such excess grants or issuances are made,
then (i) any unexercised options granted on the basis of such 

  

 12 








 
excess shares shall terminate and cease to be outstanding and (ii) the Corporation shall promptly refund to the Optionees and the Participants the exercise
or purchase price paid for any excess shares issued under the Plan and held in escrow, together with interest (at the applicable Short Term Federal Rate) for the period the shares were held in escrow, and such shares shall thereupon be automatically
cancelled and cease to be outstanding. 
  
 IV. USE OF PROCEEDS

  
 Any cash proceeds received by the Corporation from the
sale of shares of Common Stock under the Plan shall be used for general corporate purposes. 
  
 V. WITHHOLDING 
  
 The
Corporation’s obligation to deliver shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of any options granted under the Plan or upon the issuance or vesting of any shares issued under the Plan shall be subject to the satisfaction of all applicable
Federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements. 
  
 VI. REGULATORY APPROVALS 
  
 The implementation of the Plan, the granting of any options under the Plan and the issuance of any shares of Common Stock (i) upon the exercise of any option or (ii) under the Stock Issuance Program shall be subject to the
Corporation’s procurement of all approvals and permits required by regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Plan, the options granted under it and the shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to it. 
  
 VII. NO EMPLOYMENT OR SERVICE RIGHTS 
  
 Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon the Optionee or the Participant any
right to continue in Service for any period of specific duration or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary employing or retaining such person) or of the Optionee or the Participant,
which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s Service at any time for any reason, with or without cause. 
  
 VIII. FINANCIAL REPORTS 
  
 The Corporation shall deliver a balance sheet and an income statement at least annually to each individual holding an outstanding option under the Plan,
unless such individual is a key Employee whose duties in connection with the Corporation (or any Parent or Subsidiary) assure such individual access to equivalent information.
