        respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan shall be 400,000 after the effective date of the Plan, any Shares covered by an Award granted under the Plan, or to which such an Award relates, are forfeited, or if an Award otherwise
        terminates or is canceled without the delivery of Shares or of other consideration, then the Shares covered by such Award, or to which such Award relates, or the number of Shares otherwise counted against the aggregate number of Shares with respect
        to which Awards may be granted, to the extent of any such forfeiture, termination or cancellation, shall again be, or shall become, Shares with respect to which Awards may be granted. In the event that any Option or other Award granted hereunder is

    (b)   Sources of Shares Deliverable Under Awards. Any Shares delivered pursuant to an Award may

    (c)   Adjustments. In the event that the Board determines that any dividend or other
        distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares
        or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event affects the Shares such that an adjustment is determined by the Board to
        be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Board shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the number and
        type of Shares (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, (iii) the grant or exercise price with respect to any
        Award, (iv) if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment to the holder of an outstanding Award, and/or (v) such other equitable substitutions or adjustments as the Board may determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion; provided,

    SECTION 5. Eligibility.

    

    

  

  
    Any Eligible Director shall be eligible to be designated as a Participant.

    

    

  

  SECTION 6. Awards.

  
    

    

    

    (a)   Options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall have
        authority to determine the Eligible Directors to whom Options shall be granted, the number of Shares to be covered by each Option, the purchase price therefore and the conditions and limitations applicable to the exercise of the Option, including
        the terms and conditions set forth below, and such additional terms and conditions, as the Board shall determine are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as set forth in an Award Agreement.

  

  
    

    

    

    (i)   Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Board at the time each
      Option is granted; provided, however, that the exercise price per Share shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, except in the case of an Option that is a Substitute Award.

  

  
     

    (ii)  Time and Method of Exercise. The Board shall
        determine the time or times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part, and the method or methods by which, and the form or forms (which may include, without limitation, cash, Shares, outstanding Awards, other securities or other
        property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the relevant exercise price) in which payment of the exercise price with respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made. Pursuant to Section
        7(b) of the Plan, the Board may, at its discretion, accelerate the time at which an Option may be exercised and otherwise modify the time or methods of exercise of the Option.

  

  
     

    (b)   Restricted

        Stock. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board shall have authority to determine the Eligible Directors to whom Restricted Stock shall be granted, the number of Shares of Restricted Stock to be granted to each such Participant, the
        duration of the Period of Restriction (the “Restricted Period”) during which, and the conditions under which, the Restricted Stock may be forfeited to the Company, and the other terms and conditions of such Awards.

  

  
     

    (i)   Dividends. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, Restricted Stock Awards shall provide for the payment of dividends during
      the Restricted Period. Dividends paid on Restricted Stock may be paid directly to the Participant, may be subject to risk of forfeiture and/or transfer restrictions during any period established by the Board, all as determined by the Board in its
      discretion.

     

    (ii) Registration. Any Restricted Stock may be evidenced in such manner as the Board shall deem appropriate, including, without
      limitation, book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates. In the event any stock certificate is issued in respect of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan, such certificate shall be registered in the name of the
      Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock.

    

    

    

  (iii) Forfeiture. Except as otherwise determined by the Board, if a Participant shall cease to be
    an Eligible Director for any reason during the applicable Restricted Period, all Restricted Stock shall be forfeited by the Participant. The Board may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interests of the Company, waive in whole or in part
    any or all remaining restrictions with respect to such Participant’s Restricted Stock. Unrestricted Shares, evidenced in such manner as the Board shall deem appropriate, shall be issued to the holder of Restricted Stock promptly after the applicable
    restrictions have lapsed or otherwise been satisfied.

  
     

    (iv) Transfer Restrictions. During the Restricted Period, Restricted Stock will be subject to the limitations on transfer as provided
      in Section 6(e)(vii).

  

  
     

    

    

    
      A-3

      
        
 

    

  

  
    

    (c)    Stock Compensation. The Board shall have the authority to pay in Shares all, or such portion as it shall determine, of compensation that such Eligible Director would be entitled to receive for serving as director during a
        fiscal quarter, including fees paid in connection with service as Chairman of a committee of the Board, as a member of the Board and as a member of any committee of the Board, attendance at meetings and any other services provided to the Company, but excluding any amounts an Eligible Director has elected to defer (the “Quarterly Retainer”) as follows:

  

  
     

    (i)   Subject to subsection (iii) below, Shares shall be issued automatically to any Eligible Director who files with the Corporate
      Secretary of the Company, at least 30 days prior to Share Issuance Date, an election to receive Shares in lieu of all or a portion, expressed as a fraction (the “Elected Percentage”) of his or her Quarterly Retainer. As soon as is practicable
      following the last business day of the relevant fiscal quarter (such last business day, the “Share Issuance Date”), each Eligible Director making such an election under this subsection (i) shall be issued certificates for the Shares as determined
      under subsection (ii) below; provided that no such election shall be given effect if it is not timely made.

     

    (ii)  The number of Shares issued on a Share Issuance Date shall be equal to the nearest number of whole shares determined in
      accordance with the following formula:

  

  
     

    
      	 	(Elected Percentage)*(Quarterly Retainer)	 
	 	[S]	 


    

    

  

  
    
      	 	 Fair Market Value per Share	 


    

    

    

  

  

  
    

    

    

    For purposes of this Section 6(c), Fair Market Value shall be determined on the Share Issuance Date.

  

  
    

    

    

    (iii) The Eligible Director shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Shares acquired pursuant to this Section
      6(c) prior to the Share Issuance Date and the receipt by the Eligible Director of a certificate or certificates for such Shares.

  

  
    

    

    

    (d)    Other Stock-Based Awards. The Board is hereby authorized to grant to an Eligible Director an
        “Other Stock-Based Award”, which shall consist of a right (i) which is not an Award or right described in Section 6(a), (b), or (c) and (ii) which is denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or
        related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as are deemed by the Board to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan; provided, that any such rights must comply, to the extent deemed desirable by the
        Board, with applicable law. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the Board shall determine the terms and conditions of any such Other Stock-Based Award.

      

  

  
    

    

    (e)    General.

  

  
    

    

    

    (i)   Awards May Be Granted Separately or Together. Awards may, in the discretion of the Board, be granted either alone or in addition
      to, in tandem with, or in substitution for any other Award granted under the Plan or any award granted under any other plan of the Company. Awards granted in addition to or in tandem with other Awards or awards granted under any other plan of the
      Company may be granted either at the same time as or at a different time from the grant of such other Awards or awards.

  

  
    

    

    

    (ii)  Forms of Payment by Company Under Awards. Subject to the terms of the Plan and of any applicable Award Agreement, payments or
      transfers to be made by the Company upon the grant, exercise or payment of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Board shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or any
      combination thereof, and may be made in a single payment or transfer, in installments, or on a deferred basis, in each case in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Board. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation,
      provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments.

  

  
    

    

    

    (iii) Term of Awards. The term of each Award shall be for such period as may be determined by the Board.

  

  
     

    (iv) Share Certificates. All certificates for Shares or other securities of the Company delivered under the Plan
        pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such stop transfer orders and other restrictions as the Board may deem advisable under the Plan or the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the SEC, any stock exchange upon
        which such Shares or other securities are then listed, and any applicable Federal or state laws, and the Board may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make
        appropriate reference to such restrictions.

    (v)  Consideration for Grants. Awards may be granted for no cash consideration or for such consideration as the Board determines
      including, without limitation, such minimal cash consideration as may be required by applicable law.

  

  
    

    

    

    (vi) Delivery of Shares or other Securities and Payment by Participant of Consideration. No Shares or other securities shall be
      delivered pursuant to any Award until payment in full of any amount required to be paid pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement is received by the Company. Such payment may be made by such method or methods and in such form or forms as
      the Board shall determine, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or any combination thereof; provided that the combined value, as determined by the Board, of all cash and cash equivalents and
      the Fair Market Value of any such Shares or other property so tendered to the Company, as of the date of such tender, is at least equal to the full amount required to be paid to the Company pursuant to the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement.

  

  
     

    (vii) Transferability. Except as otherwise provided by the Board, Awards are not transferable other than, as designated by the
      Participant, in the event of his death, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

  

  
    

    

    

    SECTION 7. Amendment and Termination.

    

    

  

  Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law and unless otherwise
    expressly provided in an Award Agreement or in the Plan:

  
    

    

    

    (a)   Amendments to the Plan. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan
        without the consent of any shareholder, Participant, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or other Person.

  

  
    

    

    

    (b)   Amendments to Awards. The Board may waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of,
        or alter any Award theretofore granted, provided no change in any Award shall reduce the benefit to a Participant without the consent of such Participant.

     

    (c)   Adjustment of Awards Upon the Occurrence of Certain Unusual or Nonrecurring Events. The Board
        is hereby authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in Section 4(c) of the Plan)
        affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Board determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or
        enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.

    

    

  

  
    

    SECTION 8. Change of Control.

  

  
    

    

    

    (a)   Impact of Event. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event
        of a Change of Control:

  

  
    

    

    

    (i)   Any Options outstanding as of the date such Change of Control is determined to have occurred, and which are not then exercisable
      and vested, shall become fully exercisable and vested to the full extent of the original grant.

  

  
    

    

    

    (ii)  The restrictions applicable to any Restricted Stock shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall become
      free of all restrictions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant.

  

  
    

    

    

    (iii) The restrictions or other limitations applicable to any Other Stock-Based Awards shall lapse, and such Other Stock-Based Awards
      shall become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant.

    
      A-5

      
        
 

    

  

  
    

    (b)   In addition to the Board’s authority set forth in Sections 7(c) and 8(a) of the Plan, in order
        to maintain the Participants’ rights in the event of any Change of Control, the Board, as constituted before such Change of Control, is hereby authorized, and has sole discretion, as to any Award, either at the time such Award is made hereunder or
        any time thereafter, to take any one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the purchase of any such Award, upon the Participant’s request, for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been attained upon the exercise of such
        Award or realization of the Participant’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable; (ii) make such adjustment to any such Award then outstanding as the Board deems appropriate to reflect such Change of Control; or (iii) cause any
        such Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by the acquiring or surviving corporation after such Change of Control. The Board may, in its discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Award
        Agreement as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company.

  

  
    

    

     

    (c)     A “Change of Control” shall be deemed to occur if:

  

  
    

    

    

    (i)  any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (a “Person”) acquires
      beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 20% or more of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined voting
      power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (i), the following
      acquisitions shall not constitute a Change of Control: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company, (2) any acquisition by the Company, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or
      any corporation controlled by the Company or (4) any acquisition pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (A), (B) and (C) of subsection (iii) of this Section (c); or

  

  
    

    

    

    (ii)  individuals who, as of the effective date of the Plan, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to
      constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the effective date of the Plan whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of
      at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office
      occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board; or

  

  
    

    

    

    (iii) approval by the stockholders of the Company of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other
        disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the acquisition of assets of another entity (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, (A) all or substantially all of the
        individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more
        than 60% of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting
        from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries) in
        substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person (excluding any employee
        benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially own, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation
        resulting from such Business Combination or the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination, and (C) at least a majority of
        the members of the board of directors of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of
        the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or

    SECTION 9. General Provisions.

  

  
    

    

    

    (a)   No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Director, Participant or other Person shall have any claim to
        be granted any Award, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of Eligible Directors, Participants, or holders or beneficiaries of Awards. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to each recipient.

     

    (b)   No Right to be a Director. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to create any obligation on the
        part of the Board to nominate any Eligible Director for re-election by the Company’s shareholders or to limit the rights of the stockholders to remove any Eligible Director.

  

  
    

    

    

    (c)   Withholding. The Company shall have the right to require, prior to the issuance or delivery of
        any cash or Shares pursuant to the Plan, that a Participant make arrangements satisfactory to the Board for the withholding of any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to the issuance or delivery of such cash or Shares, including
        without limitation by the withholding of Shares that would otherwise be so issued or delivered, by withholding from any other payment due to the Participant, or by a cash payment to the Company by the Participant.

  

  
    

    

    

    (d)   No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements. Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the
        Company from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements (subject to shareholder approval of such other arrangement, if such approval is required), and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in
        specific cases.

     

    (e)   Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of the Plan and any rules and regulations
        relating to the Plan shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to the principles of conflict of laws.

     

    (f)    Severability. If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be
        invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Board, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to
        applicable laws, or if it cannot be construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person or Award and the
        remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.

     

    (g)   Other Laws. The Board may refuse to issue or transfer any Shares or other consideration under an
        Award if, acting in its sole discretion, it determines that the issuance or transfer of such Shares or such other consideration might violate any applicable law or regulation, or entitle the Company to recover the same, under Section 16(b) of the
        Exchange Act, and any payment tendered to the Company by a Participant, other holder or beneficiary in connection with the exercise of such Award shall be promptly refunded to the relevant Participant, holder or beneficiary.

  

  
    

    

    

    (h)   No Trust or Fund Created. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary
      relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Participant or Person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any
      unsecured general creditor of the Company.

  

  
    

    

    

    (i)   No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Board shall
      determine whether cash, other securities, or other property shall be paid or transferred in lieu of any fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares or any rights thereto shall be canceled, terminated, or otherwise eliminated.

  

  
    
      A-7

      
        
 

    

  

  
    

    (j)   Headings. Headings are given to the Sections and subsections of the Plan solely as a convenience to facilitate reference. Such
      headings shall not be deemed in any way material or relevant to the construction or interpretation of the Plan or any provision thereof.

  

  
    

    

    SECTION 10. Effective Date of the Plan.

  

  
    

    

    The Plan shall be effective as of January 30, 1998, the date of its approval by the Board.

  

  
    

    

    

    SECTION 11. Term of the Plan.

  

  
    

    

    

    The Plan shall remain in full effect until terminated by action of the Board, or until all Participants have received all amounts to which they are entitled,
      if earlier. Subject to Section 7(a) of the Plan or any Award Agreement, the authority of the Board to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any Award granted prior to the termination of the Plan or to waive any conditions or rights
      under any such Award shall extend beyond such date of termination.
