CNS, INC.



1989 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN



As Amended Effective July 1, 1999 and July 1, 2006



|1. | Establishment of Plan.   CNS, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the Company) proposes to grant to certain employees of the Company the opportunity to purchase common stock of the Company. Such common stock shall be purchased pursuant to the plan herein set forth, which shall be known as the CNS 1989 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN (hereinafter referred to as the Plan). The Company intends that the Plan shall qualify as an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of said Section 423 and the regulations thereunder.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|2. | Purpose.   The Plan is intended to encourage stock ownership by all employees of the Company, and as an incentive to them to remain in employment, improve operations, increase profits, and contribute more significantly to the Companys success.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|3. | Administration.   The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (hereinafter referred to as the Committee) or in the absence of such Committee, a committee designated by the Board of Directors of the Company (hereinafter referred to as the Board of Directors). The Board of Directors shall fill all vacancies in the Committee and may remove any member of the Committee at any time, with or without cause. The Committee shall select its own chairman and hold its meetings at such times and places as it may determine. All determinations of the Committee shall be made by a majority of its members. Any decision that is made in writing and signed by a majority of the members of the Committee shall be effective as fully as though made by a majority vote at a meeting duly called and
held. The determinations of the Committee shall be made in accordance with its judgment as to the best interests of the Company, its employees and its shareholders and in accordance with the purposes of the Plan; provided, however, that the provisions of the Plan shall be construed in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the participants in the Plan unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors. The Company shall pay all expenses of administering the Plan. No member of the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any option granted under it.
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|4. | Duration and Phases of the Plan.
|-- | --------------------------------



| | a) | The Plan was originally effective and commenced on July 1, 1989; effective as of July 1, 1999 the Plan is extended and will thereafter terminate July 1, 2009, except that any phase commenced prior to such termination shall, if necessary, be allowed to continue beyond such termination until completion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Plan shall be considered of no force or effect and any options granted shall be considered null and void unless the holders of a majority of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock of the Company approve the Plan within twelve (12) months before or after the date of its adoption by the board of Directors.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b) | The Plan shall be carried out in one or more phases, each phase being for a period of six months. No phase shall run concurrently, but a phase may commence immediately after the termination of the preceding phase. The existence and date of commencement of a phase (the Commencement Date) shall be determined by the Committee, provided that the commencement of the first phase shall be within twelve (12) months before or after the date of approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company. In the event all of the stock reserved for grant of options hereunder is issued pursuant to the terms hereof prior to the commencement of one or more phases scheduled by the Committee or the number of shares remaining is so small, in the opinion of the Committee, as to render administration of any succeeding phase impracticable, such phase or phases shall be
cancelled. Phases shall be numbered successively Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, etc.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|5. | Eligibility.   All Employees who are employed by the Company on the Commencement Date of a phase shall be eligible to participate in such phase. For purposes of this Plan, effective July 1, 2006, Employee shall mean any employee, including an officer, of the Company who as of the Commencement Date of a phase is customarily employed by the Company for more than twenty (20) hours per week and more than five (5) months per year.
|-- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



---

|6. | Participation.   Participation in the Plan
is voluntary. An eligible Employee may elect to participate in any phase of the
Plan, and thereby become a Participant in the Plan, by completing
the Plan payroll deduction form provided by the Company and delivering it to the
Company or its designated representative prior to the Commencement Date or that
phase. Payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence on the first payday
after the Commencement Date of the phase and shall terminate on the last payday
immediately prior to or coinciding with the termination date of that phase
unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Paragraph 9
hereof.
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|7. | Payroll Deductions.
|-- | -------------------



| | a) | Upon enrollment, a Participant shall elect to make contributions to the Plan by payroll deductions (in amounts calculated to be as uniform as practicable throughout the period of the phase), in the aggregate amount not in excess of 10% of such Participants Base Pay for the term of the phase. For purposes of this Plan, Base Pay is the regular pay for employment for each employee as annualized for a twelve (12) month period, exclusive of overtime, commissions, bonuses, disability payments, shift differentials, incentives and other similar payments, determined as of the Commencement Date of each phase. The minimum authorized payroll deduction must aggregate at least $10 per month.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b) | In the event that the Participants compensation for any pay period is terminated or reduced from the compensation rate for such a period as of the Commencement Date of the phase for any reason so that the amount actually withheld on behalf of the Participant as of the termination date of the phase is less than the amount anticipated to be withheld over the phase year as determined on the Commencement Date of the phase, then the extent to which the participant may exercise his or her option shall be based on the amount actually withheld on his or her behalf. In the event of a change in the pay period of any Participant, such as from bi-weekly to monthly, an appropriate adjustment shall be made to the deduction in each new pay period so as to ensure the deduction of the proper amount authorized by the Participant.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | c) | All payroll deductions made for Participants shall be credited to their accounts under the Plan. The Participant may not make any separate cash payments into such account.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | d) | Except for his or her right to discontinue participation in the Plans as provided in Paragraph 9, no Participant shall be entitled to increase or decrease the amount to be deducted in a given phase after the Commencement Date.

10(d) hereof shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to any shares

stock certificate evidencing such shares. No adjustment shall be made for
dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or other
property), distributions or other rights for which the record date is prior to

|12. | Adjustment Provision.
|--- | ---------------------



| | a) | Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares covered by each outstanding option, and the price per share thereof in each such option, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of the Company common stock resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of shares or the payment of a share dividend (but only on the shares) or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this preceding sentence, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may adjust the number or price of shares subject to the option by reason of any other dissolution, liquidation, merger, consolidation or spin-off of assets or stock of another corporation or the issuance of shares of any class, or securities
convertible into shares of any class of the Company.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | b) | Effective beginning July 1, 2006, the Board of Directors may elect to accelerate the termination date of any Phase effective on the date specified by the Board of Directors in the event of (i) any consolidation or merger of the Company in which the Company is not the continuing or surviving corporation or pursuant to which shares of Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other property, other than a merger of the Company in which shareholders immediately prior to the merger have the same proportionate ownership of stock in the surviving corporation immediately after the merger; or (ii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. Subject to any required action by the shareholders, if the Company shall be involved in any merger or
consolidation, in which it is not the surviving corporation, and if the Board of Directors does not accelerate the termination date of the Phase, each outstanding option shall pertain to and apply to the securities or other rights to which a holder of the number of shares subject to the option would have been entitled.
| | -- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | d) | In the event of a change in the shares of the Company as presently constituted, which is limited to a change of all its authorized shares with par value into the same number of shares with a different par value or without par value, the shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be the shares within the meaning of this Plan.
| | -- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|13. | Non-Transferability of Options.
|--- | -------------------------------



| | a) | Options granted under any phase of the Plan shall not be transferable except under the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable only by the Participant during his or her lifetime and after his or her death only by his or her beneficiary of the representative of his or her estate as provided in Paragraph 9(b) hereof.

| | b) | Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participants account, nor any rights with regard to the exercise of an option or to receive common stock under any phase of the Plan may be assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of in any way by the Participant. Any such attempted assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be null and void and without effect, except that the Company may, at its option, treat such act as an election to withdraw funds in accordance with Paragraph 9.
| | -- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|14. | Designation of Beneficiary.   A Participant
may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash to
the Participants credit under any phase of the Plan in the event of such
Participants death prior to exercise of his or her option pursuant to
Paragraph 9(b) hereof, or to exercise his or her option and become entitled to
any stock and/or cash upon such exercise in the event of the Participants
death prior to exercise of the option pursuant to Paragraph 9(b) hereof. The
beneficiary designation may be changed by the Participant at any time by written
notice to the Company.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Upon the death of a Participant and upon receipt by the Company of proof deemed adequate by it of the identity and existence at the Participants death of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan, the Company shall in the event of the Participants death under the circumstances described in Paragraph 9(b) hereof, allow such beneficiary to exercise the Participants option pursuant to Paragraph 9(b) if such beneficiary is living on the termination date of the phase and deliver to such beneficiary the appropriate stock and/or cash after exercise of the option. In the event there is no validly designated beneficiary under the Plan who is living at the time of the Participants death under the circumstances described in Paragraph 9(b) or in the event the option lapses, the Company shall deliver the cash credited to the account of the Participant without interest 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, it may, in its discretion, deliver such 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. The Company will not be responsible for or be required to give effect to the disposition of any cash or stock or the exercise of any option in accordance with any will or other testamentary disposition made by such Participant or in accordance with the provision of any law concerning intestacy, or otherwise. No designated beneficiary shall, prior to the death of a Participant by whom he or she has been designated, acquire any interest in any stock or in any option or in the cash credited to the participant under any phase of the Plan.



|15. | Amendment and Termination.   The Plan may be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors provided that, except as permitted in Paragraph 12 hereof, no such termination will take effect with respect to any options then outstanding. Also, the Board may, from time to time, amend the Plan as it may deem proper and in the best interests of the Company or as may be necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or other applicable laws or regulations; provided, however, that no such amendment shall, without prior approval of the shareholders of the Company (1) increase the total number of shares for which options may be granted under the Plan (except as provided in paragraph 12 herein), (2) permit aggregate payroll deductions in excess of ten percent (10%) of a Participants compensation as of
the Commencement Date of a phase, or (3) impair any outstanding option.

|--- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|17. | Notices.   All notices or other communications in connection with the Plan or any phase thereof shall be in the form specified by the Committee and shall be deemed to have been duly given when received by the Participant or his designated personal representative or beneficiary or by the Company or its designated representative, as the case may be.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|18. | Participation of Subsidiaries.   The Board of Directors may, by written resolution, authorize the employees of any of its subsidiaries to participate hereunder. Effective as of the date of coverage of any such subsidiary, any references herein to the Company shall be interpreted as referring to such subsidiary as well as to CNS, Inc.

In the event that any subsidiary that is covered under the Plan ceases to be a subsidiary of CNS, Inc., the employees of such subsidiary shall be considered to have terminated their employment for purposes of Paragraph 9 hereof as of the date such subsidiary ceases to be such a subsidiary.
