 5. Eligibility. Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Purchase Rights
may be granted to Employees, Directors and Consultants. 
  
 6.
Limitations. 
  
 (a) Neither the Plan nor any Option or
Stock Purchase Right shall confer upon an Optionee any right with respect to continuing the Optionee’s employment or consulting relationship with the Company, nor shall they interfere in any way with the Optionee’s right or the
Company’s right to terminate such employment or consulting relationship at any time, with or without cause. 
  
 (b) The following limitations shall apply to grants of Options and Stock Purchase Rights to Officers: 
  
 (i) no Officer shall be granted in any fiscal year of the
Company, Options and Stock Purchase Rights to purchase more than the number of shares issuable under the Plan; and 
  
 (ii) over the remaining term of the Plan, no Officer shall be granted Options and Stock Purchase Rights to purchase more than the number
of shares issuable under the Plan. 
  
 (c) The foregoing
limitations set forth in this Section 6(c) are intended to satisfy the requirements applicable to Options and Stock Purchase Rights intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” (within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code).
In the event the Administrator determines that such limitations are not required to qualify Options and Stock Purchase Rights as performance-based compensation, the Administrator may modify or eliminate such limitations. 
  
 7. Term of Plan. The Plan became effective upon its adoption by the
Board of Directors on April 2nd, 2003. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years unless terminated earlier under Section 15 of the Plan.

years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Notice of Grant. 
  
 9. Option Exercise Price and Consideration. 
  
 (a) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following: 
  
 (i) if granted to an Employee, Consultant or Director who, at the time the
Nonstatutory Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair
Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 







 (ii) if granted to any Employee, Consultant or Director, the per Share exercise price shall be no less
than 25% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant pursuant to a merger or other corporate transaction. 
  
 (b) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is
granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions which must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised. In so doing, the Administrator may specify that an Option may not
be exercised until the completion of a service period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the exception of an Option granted to an Officer, a Director or a Consultant, no Option shall become exercisable at a rate less than twenty percent (20%) per
year over a period of five (5) years from the effective date of grant of such Option, subject to the Optionee’s continued employment or service. 
  
 (c) Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of
payment. Such consideration may consist entirely of: 
  
 (i)
cash; 
  
 (ii) check; 
  
 (iii) surrender of other Shares which (i) in the case of Shares acquired
upon exercise of an option, have been owned by the Optionee for more than six (6) months on the date of surrender, and (ii) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares; or

  
 (iv) delivery of Optionee’s promissory note (the
“Note”) in a form acceptable to the Company, in the amount of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Exercised Shares together with the execution and delivery by the Optionee of a Security Agreement in a form acceptable to the Company The
Note shall bear interest at a rate no less than the “applicable federal rate” prescribed under the Code and its regulations at time of purchase, and shall be secured by a pledge of the Shares purchased by the Note pursuant to the Security
Agreement; 
  
 (vii) consideration to be received by the Company
under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; 
  
 (vi) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or 







 (vii) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted
by Applicable Laws. 
  
 10. Exercise of Option. 

 
 (a) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder. Any Option
granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Option Agreement. 
  
 An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share. 
  
 An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company
receives: (i) written notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. Full payment may consist of any
consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Option Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the
name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the stock certificate evidencing such Shares is issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or
receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Optioned Stock, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such stock certificate promptly after the Option is
exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the stock certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. 
  
 Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number
of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised. 
  
 (b) Termination of Employment or Consulting Relationship. In the event that an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or
Consultant terminates, other than upon the Optionee’s death or Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option, for at least thirty (30) days from the date of termination (or such longer period of time as is determined by the
Administrator) and only to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant). If, at the date of
termination, the Optionee is not entitled to exercise his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unexercisable portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option within
the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan. 
  
 (c) Disability of Optionee. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10(b) above, in the event of termination of an Optionee’s Continuous
Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant as a result of his Disability, Optionee may, but only within such period of time as is determined by the Administrator, of at least six (6) months from the date of such termination (but in no event later
than the expiration date of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement), exercise the Option to the extent otherwise entitled to exercise it at the date of such termination. To the extent that Optionee was not entitled to exercise
the Option at the date of termination, or if Optionee does not exercise such Option to the extent so entitled within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 







 (d) Death of Optionee. In the event of the death of an Optionee: 
  
 (i) during the term of the Option who is at the time of his or her death an
Employee, Director or Consultant of the Company and who shall have been in Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant since the date of grant of the Option, the Option may be exercised by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who
acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance until the term of the option, or such shorter period as is set forth in the option agreement, expires, and the Option shall be treated for exercise purposes as if the Optionee had
continued living and had remained in Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant for six (6) months after the date of death; or 
  
 (ii) after the termination of an Optionee’s Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant, the Option may be exercised by the
Optionee’s estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance until the term of the option, or such shorter period as is set forth in the option agreement, expires, and the Option shall be treated for
exercise purposes as if the Optionee had continued living and had remained in Continuous Status as an Employee, Director or Consultant through the date of Optionee’s death; and 
  
 (iii) if an Option is not exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate. 
  
 (e) Buyout Provisions. The Administrator may at any time offer to buy
out for a payment in cash or Shares, an Option previously granted, based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made. 
  
 11. Stock Purchase Rights. 
  
 (a) Rights to Purchase. Stock Purchase Rights may be issued either
alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Stock Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in
writing, by means of a Notice of Grant, of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the offeree shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and the time within which the
offeree must accept such offer, which shall in no event exceed six (6) months from the date upon which the Administrator made the determination to grant the Stock Purchase Right. The offer shall be accepted by execution of a Restricted Stock
Purchase Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. 
  
 (b) Purchase Price. The purchase price, if any, under each Stock Purchase Right will be established by the Board. 
  
 (c) Repurchase Option. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase
option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the purchaser’s employment with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased pursuant to the Restricted Stock purchase
agreement shall be the original price paid, if any, by the purchaser and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the purchaser to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at a rate determined by the Administrator; provided, however,
that with the exception of shares acquired pursuant to a Stock Purchase Right by an Officer, Director, or Consultant, the Company’s repurchase option must lapse at the rate of at least twenty percent (20%) of the shares per year over the period
of five (5) years from the effective date of grant of the Stock Purchase Right (without regard to the date on which Stock Purchase Right was exercised) and the repurchase option must be exercised, if at all, for cash or cancellation of money
indebtedness for the shares within ninety (90) days following termination of employment or service. 







 (d) Other Provisions. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement shall contain such other terms,
provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion. In addition, the provisions of Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements need not be the same with respect to each purchaser.

  
 (e) Rights as a Shareholder. Once the Stock Purchase
Right is exercised, the purchaser shall have the rights equivalent to those of a shareholder, and shall be a shareholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment will be
made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Stock Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 13 of the Plan. 
  
 12. Non-Transferability of Options and Stock Purchase Rights. An Option or Stock Purchase Right may not be sold,
pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee. 
  
 13. Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Dissolution, Merger,
Asset Sale or Change of Control. 
  
 (a) Changes in
Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right, and the number of shares of Common Stock which have been
authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or Stock Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, as well as the price per
share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Option or Stock Purchase Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split,
stock dividend, recapitalization, combination, reclassification or other distribution of the Common Stock without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be
deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by
the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an
Option or Stock Purchase Right. 
  
 (b) Dissolution or
Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, to the extent that an Option or Stock Purchase Right has not been previously exercised, it will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed
action. The Board may, in the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Option or Stock Purchase Right shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each Optionee the right to exercise his or her Option or Stock
Purchase Right as to all or any part of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which the Option or Stock Purchase Right would not otherwise be exercisable. 
  

(c) Merger or Asset Sale. Subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) hereof, in the event of a merger of the Company with or into another
corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding Option and Stock Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right shall be substituted by the successor corporation 







 or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation does
not agree to assume the Option or Stock Purchase Right or to substitute an equivalent option or right, the Administrator shall, in lieu of such assumption or substitution, provide for the Optionee to have the right to exercise the Option or Stock
Purchase Right as to all or a portion of the Optioned Stock, including Shares as to which it would not otherwise be exercisable. If the Administrator makes an Option or Stock Purchase Right exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the
event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrator shall notify the Optionee that the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or Stock Purchase
Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Stock Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the option or right confers the right to
purchase, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right immediately prior to the merger or sale of assets, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the merger or sale of
assets by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares);
provided, however, that if such consideration received in the merger or sale of assets was not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the
consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or Stock Purchase Right, for each Share of Optioned Stock subject to the Option or Stock Purchase Right, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair
market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the merger or sale of assets. 
  
 (d) Change in Control. In the event of a “Change in Control” of the Company, as defined in paragraph (e) below, then the following
acceleration and valuation provisions shall apply: 
  
 (i) Except
as otherwise determined by the Administrator, in its discretion, prior to or after the occurrence of a Change in Control, any Options and Stock Purchase Rights outstanding on the date such Change in Control is determined to have occurred that are
not yet exercisable and vested on such date shall become fully exercisable and vested; 
  
 (ii) Except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, in its discretion, prior to or after the occurrence of a Change in Control, all outstanding Options and Stock Purchase Rights, to the extent they are
exercisable and vested (including Options and Stock Purchase Rights that shall become exercisable and vested pursuant to subparagraph (i) above), shall be terminated in exchange for a cash payment equal to the Change in Control Price, (reduced by
the exercise price applicable to such Options or Stock Purchase Rights). These cash proceeds shall be paid to the Optionee or, in the event of death of an Optionee prior to payment, to the estate of the Optionee or to a person who acquired the right
to exercise the Option or Stock Purchase Right by request or inheritance. 
  
 (e) Definition of “Change in Control”. For purposes of this Section 13, a “Change in Control” means the happening of any of the following: 
  
 (i) When any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or a Company employee benefit plan, including any trustee of such plan acting as trustee) 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 more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors; or

  
 (ii) A merger or consolidation of the Company with any other
corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities
of the surviving entity) at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the total voting power 








 
represented by the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders
of the Company approve an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all the Company’s assets; or 
  
 (iii) A change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company occurring within a two-year period, as a result of which fewer than a majority
of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” shall mean directors who either (A) are directors of the Company as of the date the Plan is approved by the stockholders, or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to the
Board of Directors of the Company with the affirmative votes of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but shall not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an
actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of directors to the Company). 
  
 (f) Change in Control Price. For purposes of this Section 13, “Change in Control Price” shall be, as determined by the Board, (i) the highest Fair Market Value of a Share within the 60 day period
immediately preceding the date of determination of the Change in Control Price by the Board (the “60-Day Period”), or (ii) the highest price paid or offered per Share, as determined by the Board, in any bona fide transaction or bona fide
offer related to the Change in Control of the Company, at any time within the 60-Day Period, or (iii) some lower price as the Board, in its discretion, determines to be a reasonable estimate of the fair market value of a Share. 
  
 14. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Option or Stock Purchase
Right shall be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be provided
to each Optionee within a reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
  
 15. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 
  
 (a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 
  
 (b) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee,
unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Optionee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Optionee and the Company. 
  
 16. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares. 
  
 (a) Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right unless the exercise of such Option
or Stock Purchase Right and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
thereunder, Applicable Laws, and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

  
 (b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the
exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right, the Company may require the person exercising such Option or Stock 







 Purchase Right to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being
purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required. 
  
 17. Liability of Company. 
  

(a) Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which
authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite
authority shall not have been obtained. 
  
 (b) Grants
Exceeding Allotted Shares. If the Optioned Stock covered by an Option or Stock Purchase Right exceeds, as of the date of grant, the number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan without additional shareholder approval, such Option or Stock
Purchase Right shall be void with respect to such excess Optioned Stock, unless shareholder approval of an amendment sufficiently increasing the number of Shares subject to the Plan is timely obtained in accordance with Section 15(b) of the Plan.

  
 18. Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term
of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. 
  
 19. Provision of Information. At least annually, copies of the Company’s balance sheet and income statement for the just completed fiscal year
shall be made available to each Optionee and purchaser of shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Purchase Right. The Company shall not be required to provide such information to key employees whose duties in connection with
the Company assure them access to equivalent information.
