Terms of Stock Payment Agreements. Each issuance of Stock under this Plan will be evidenced by a Stock Payment Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Stock Payment Agreement (unless otherwise stated therein) will be deemed to include the following terms and conditions.

a)

Qualification of Stock. The right to receive Stock authorized for issuance under this Plan will be subject to the requirement that if at any time the Board determines, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the shares of Stock to be received upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority, is necessary or desirable as a condition of or in connection with the issuance or the acceptance of such shares by the Participant, such shares may not be issued, unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval is effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Board, in its discretion.

b)

Representations, Warranties, and Agreements of Participants. By accepting Stock under this Plan, a Participant will be deemed to represent, warrant and agree as follows:

1)

The Participant understands that transfer of the Stock issued hereunder requires full compliance with the provision of all applicable laws.

2)

Unless an exemption is available or a registration statement is in effect with respect to the sale of Stock issued hereunder, the Participant will accept the stock for the Participant's own account and not with a view to distribution within the meaning of the 1933 Act, other than as may be effected in compliance with the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

c)

Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, Stock may be issued hereunder only after there has been compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and such issuances will be subject to this overriding condition. The Company will not be required to register or qualify Stock issued hereunder with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state agency.

d)

Stock Certificates. Certificates representing the Stock issued hereunder will bear any legends required by law and necessary to effectuate this Plan's provisions. The Company may place a "stop transfer" order against shares of Stock issued hereunder until all restrictions and conditions set forth in this Plan and in the legends referred to in this section 7(d) have been complied with.

e)

Other Provisions. The Stock Payment Agreement may contain such other terms and conditions, including special forfeiture conditions, rights of repurchase, rights of first refusal and other restrictions on transfer of Stock not inconsistent with this Plan, as may be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

f)

Withholding Taxes. As a condition to the issuance of shares of Stock under this Plan, the Participant will pay to the Company in cash, or in such other form as the Board may determine in its discretion, the amount of any tax withholding liability of the Company required in connection with such issuance. For these purposes, "tax withholding liability" will mean all federal and state income taxes, social security tax, and any other taxes applicable to the compensation income arising from the transaction required by applicable law to be withheld by the Company. The Board, in its discretion, may permit a particular Participant to pay all or a portion of the tax withholding liability either by surrendering securities of the Company already owned by such Participant or by withholding shares of Stock to be issued under the particular Stock Payment Agreement, if the Board determines that the Fair Market Value of such surrendered securities or withheld Stock is equal to the corresponding portion of the tax withholding liability to be paid.
