	Section 3.	Administration. 


(a)          Power and Authority of the Committee. The Plan shall be administered by the
Committee. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan and to applicable law, the Committee shall have full power and authority to: (i) designate Participants; (ii) determine the type or types of Awards to be granted to each Participant
under the Plan; (iii) determine the number of Shares to be covered by (or the method by which payments or other rights are to be calculated in connection with) each Award; (iv) determine the terms and conditions of any Award or Award
Agreement, including any terms relating to the forfeiture of any Award and the forfeiture, recapture or disgorgement of any cash, Shares, other 

  
 3 








 
securities, other Awards, other property and other amounts payable with respect to any Award; (v) amend the terms and conditions of any Award or Award Agreement; (vi) accelerate the
exercisability of any Award or the lapse of restrictions relating to any Award; (vii) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances Awards may be exercised in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or
cancelled, forfeited or suspended; (viii) determine whether, to what extent and under what circumstances cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards, other property and other amounts payable with respect to an Award under the Plan shall be
deferred either automatically or at the election of the holder of the Award or the Committee; (ix) interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument or agreement, including any Award Agreement, relating to the Plan; (x) establish,
amend, suspend or waive such rules and regulations and appoint such agents as it shall deem appropriate for the proper administration of the Plan; and (xi) make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems

be within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and shall be final, conclusive and binding upon any Participant, any holder or beneficiary of any Award or Award Agreement. 

(b)          Power and Authority of the Board. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Board may, at any time and from time to time, without any further action of the Committee, exercise the powers and duties of the Committee under the Plan. 

 

	Section 4.	Shares Available for Awards. 


(a)          Shares Available. Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 4(c) of
the Plan, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued under all Awards under the Plan shall be 350,000. 

(b)          Counting Shares. For purposes of this Section 4, if an Award entitles
the holder thereof to receive or purchase Shares, the number of Shares covered by such Award or to which such Award relates shall be counted on the date of grant of such Award against the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards
under the Plan. For purposes of determining the number of Shares covered on the date of grant by a Stock Appreciation Right that is to be settled in Shares, the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right is to be
exercised shall be counted against the number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan (without regard to the number of actual Shares issued upon settlement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following special rules shall apply with respect
to share counting under the Plan: 
 (i)          If any Shares covered by an Award or
to which an Award relates are not purchased or are forfeited or are reacquired by the Company (including shares of Restricted Stock, whether or not dividends have been paid on such shares), or if an Award otherwise terminates or is cancelled without
delivery of any Shares, then the number of Shares counted pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Plan against the aggregate number of Shares available under the Plan with respect to such Award, to the extent of any such forfeiture, reacquisition by
the Company, termination or cancellation, shall again be available for granting Awards under the Plan. 

(ii)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(a), the following
Shares will not again become available for issuance under the Plan: (A) any Shares which would have been issued upon any exercise of an Option but for the fact that the exercise price was paid by a “net exercise” permitted under the
Award Agreement or any Shares tendered in payment of the exercise price of an Option; (B) any Shares withheld by the Company or Shares tendered to satisfy any tax withholding obligation with respect to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right;
(C) Shares covered by a Stock Appreciation Right issued under the Plan that are not issued in connection with settlement in Shares upon exercise; or (D) Shares that are repurchased by the Company using Option exercise proceeds. 


  
 4 








 (iii)        Awards that do not entitle the holder thereof to
receive or purchase Shares and Awards that are settled in cash shall not be counted against the aggregate number of Shares available for Awards under the Plan. 
 (c)          Adjustments.  In the event that any dividend (other than a regular cash 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 necessary in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, then the Committee shall, in such manner as it deems equitable, adjust any or all of (i) the
number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) which thereafter may be made the subject of Awards, (ii) the number and type of Shares (or other securities or other property) subject to outstanding Awards and (iii) the
purchase or exercise price with respect to any Award; provided, however, that the number of Shares covered by any Award or to which such Award relates shall always be a whole number. Such adjustment shall be made by the Committee, whose
determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. 
  

	Section 5.	Awards. 


(a)          Options.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Options to Non-Employee Directors with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine: 

(i)        Exercise Price.  The purchase price per Share purchasable under an Option
shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that such purchase price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option. 

(ii)        Option Term.  The term of each Option shall be fixed by the Committee but
shall not be longer than 10 years from the date of grant (except where the exercise of the Option is suspended not more than 30 days because the exercise would otherwise violate applicable law). 

(iii)        Time and Method of Exercise.  The Committee shall determine the time or
times at which an Option may be exercised in whole or in part. The minimum vesting period of Options shall be three years from the date of grant, unless vesting of the Option is conditioned on performance of the Company or an Affiliate or on
personal performance (other than continued service with the Company or an Affiliate), in which case the minimum vesting period of Options shall be at least one year from the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee may permit
acceleration of vesting of Options in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or a change in control of the Company. The Committee shall also determine the method or methods by which, and the form or forms (including,
without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property, or any combination thereof, having a Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the applicable exercise price) in which, payment of the exercise price with
respect thereto may be made or deemed to have been made. 
 (b)          Stock
Appreciation Rights.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Non-Employee Directors subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement. A Stock
Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive upon exercise thereof the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise (or, if the Committee shall so determine, at any
time during a specified period before or after the date of exercise) over (ii) the grant price of the Stock Appreciation Right as specified by the Committee, which price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of one Share on the
date of grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, the grant price, term, methods of exercise, dates of exercise, methods of settlement and any other terms and conditions of any Stock
Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Committee (except that the term 

  
 5 








 
of each Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to the term limitation in Section 5(a)(ii) applicable to Options). The Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise
of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate. 

(c)          Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units.  The Committee is
hereby authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units to Non-Employee Directors with the following terms and conditions and with such additional terms and conditions not inconsistent
with the provisions of the Plan as the Committee shall determine: 

(i)          Restrictions.  Shares of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock
Units shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may impose (including, without limitation, any limitation on the right to vote a Share of Restricted Stock or the right to receive any dividend or other right or property with respect
thereto), which restrictions may lapse separately or in combination at such time or times or upon achievement of established performance goals, in such installments or otherwise as the Committee may deem appropriate. Such Awards shall vest, in
installments or otherwise, over at least a three-year period from the date of grant, unless the Award is conditioned on performance of the Company or an Affiliate or on personal performance (other than
continued service with the Company or an Affiliate), in which case the minimum vesting period of such Award shall be at least one year from the date of grant; provided, however, that the Committee may permit acceleration of vesting of such
Awards in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or a change in control of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, rights to dividend or Dividend Equivalent payments shall be subject to the limitations described in
Section 5(d). 
 (ii)          Issuance and Delivery of
Shares.  Any Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted and may be evidenced in such manner as the Committee may deem appropriate, including
book-entry registration or issuance of a stock certificate or certificates, which certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company. Such certificate or certificates shall be registered in the name of
the Participant and shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock. Shares representing Restricted Stock that is no longer subject to restrictions shall be delivered to the Participant promptly
after the applicable restrictions lapse or are waived. In the case of Restricted Stock Units, no Shares shall be issued at the time such Awards are granted. Upon the lapse or waiver of restrictions and the restricted period relating to Restricted
Stock Units evidencing the right to receive Shares, such Shares shall be issued and delivered to the holder of the Restricted Stock Units. 
 (iii)          Forfeiture.  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee, upon a Participant’s resignation or removal as a Director (in
either case, as determined by the Committee) during the applicable restriction period, all Shares of Restricted Stock and all Restricted Stock Units held by the Participant at such time shall be forfeited and reacquired by the Company; provided,
however, that the Committee may, when it finds that a waiver would be in the best interest of the Company, waive in whole or in part any or all remaining restrictions with respect to Shares of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units. 

(d)          Dividend Equivalents.  The Committee is hereby authorized to grant
Dividend Equivalents to a Participant under which the Participant shall be entitled to receive payments (in cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or other property as determined in the discretion of the Committee) equivalent to the amount of
cash dividends paid by the Company to holders of Shares with respect to a number of Shares determined by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any applicable Award Agreement, such Dividend Equivalents may have such terms and conditions
as the Committee shall determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Committee may not grant Dividend Equivalents to Participants in connection with grants of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights to such Participants, and (ii) no
dividend or Dividend Equivalent payments shall be made to a Participant with respect to any Award subject to performance-based vesting conditions prior to the date on which all conditions or restrictions
relating to such Award (or portion thereof to which the dividend or Dividend Equivalent relates) have been satisfied, waived or lapsed. 

  
 6 








 (e)          Stock Awards. The Committee is
hereby authorized to grant to Non-Employee Directors Shares without restrictions thereon, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan. Subject to the terms of the Plan and any
applicable Award Agreement, such Stock Awards may have such terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. 

(f)          Other Stock-Based Awards. The
Committee is hereby authorized to grant to Non-Employee Directors such other Awards that are 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 Committee to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, subject to the terms of the
Plan and the Award Agreement. Shares, or other securities delivered pursuant to a purchase right granted under this Section 5(g), shall be purchased for consideration having a value equal to at least 100% of the Fair Market Value of such Shares
or other securities on the date the purchase right is granted. The consideration paid by the Participant may be paid by such method or methods and in such form or forms (including, without limitation, cash, Shares, other securities, other Awards or
other property, or any combination thereof), as the Committee shall determine. 

(g)          General. 

(i)          Consideration for Awards.  Awards may be granted for no cash
consideration or for any cash or other consideration as may be determined by the Committee or required by applicable law. 

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

(iii)          Forms of Payment under Awards.  Subject to the terms of the Plan
and of any applicable Award Agreement, payments or transfers to be made by the Company or an Affiliate upon the grant, exercise or payment of an Award may be made in such form or forms as the Committee 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 Committee. Such rules and procedures may include, without limitation, provisions for the payment or crediting of reasonable interest on installment or deferred payments or the grant or crediting of Dividend Equivalents with respect to
installment or deferred payments. 
 (iv)          Term of
Awards.  The term of each Award shall be for a period not longer than 10 years from the date of grant (except where the exercise of the Option is tolled not more than 30 days because the exercise would otherwise violate applicable
law). 
 (v)          Limits on Transfer of Awards.  Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 5(g)(v), no Award (other than fully vested and unrestricted Shares issued pursuant to any Award) and no right under any such Award shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or by the laws of
descent and distribution, and no Award (other than fully vested and unrestricted Shares issued pursuant to any Award) or right under any such Award may be pledged, alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge, alienation,
attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable against the Company or any Affiliate. Each Award under the Plan or right under any such Award shall be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime only by the Participant
(except as provided herein or in an Award Agreement or amendment thereto relating to an Option) or, if permissible under applicable law, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. The Committee may establish procedures as it deems
appropriate for a Participant to designate a Person or Persons, as beneficiary or beneficiaries, to exercise the rights of the Participant and receive any property distributable with respect 

  
 7 








 
to any Award in the event of the Participant’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion and subject to such additional terms and conditions as it determines,
may permit a Participant to transfer an Option to any “family member” (as such term is defined in the General Instructions to Form S-8 (or any successor to such Instructions or such Form) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended) at any time that such Participant holds such Option, provided that such transfers may not be for value (i.e., the transferor may not receive any consideration therefor) and the family member may not make any
subsequent transfers other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. 

(vi)          Restrictions; Securities Exchange Listing.  All Shares or other
securities delivered under the Plan pursuant to any Award or the exercise thereof shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Plan, applicable federal or state securities laws and regulatory requirements, and
the Committee may cause appropriate entries to be made or legends to be placed on the certificates for such Shares or other securities to reflect such restrictions. If the Shares or other securities are traded on a securities exchange, the Company
shall not be required to deliver any Shares or other securities covered by an Award unless and until such Shares or other securities have been admitted for trading on such securities exchange. 

(vii)          Prohibition on Option and Stock Appreciation Right
Repricing.  Except as provided in Section 4(c) hereof, the Committee may not, without prior approval of the Company’s shareholders, seek to effect any re-pricing of any previously
granted “underwater” Option or Stock Appreciation Right by: (i) amending or modifying the terms of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right to lower the exercise price; (ii) canceling the underwater Option or Stock Appreciation
Right and granting either (A) replacement Options or Stock Appreciation Rights having a lower exercise price; or (B) Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Awards or Other Stock-Based Awards
in exchange; or (iii) cancelling or repurchasing the underwater Options or Stock Appreciation Rights for cash or other securities. An Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be deemed to be “underwater” at any time when the Fair
Market Value of the Shares covered by such Award is less than the exercise price of the Award. 

(viii)        Section 409A Provisions.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or any
Award Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any amount or benefit that constitutes “deferred compensation” to a Participant under Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder is otherwise payable or
distributable to a Participant under the Plan or any Award Agreement solely by reason of the occurrence of a Change in Control or due to the Participant’s disability or separation from service, such amount or benefit will not be payable or
distributable to the Participant by reason of such circumstance unless the Committee determines in good faith that (i) the circumstances giving rise to such Change in Control, disability or separation from service meet the definition of a
change in ownership or control, disability, or separation from service, as the case may be, in Section 409A(a)(2)(A) of the Code and applicable proposed or final regulations, or (ii) the payment or distribution of such amount or benefit
would be exempt from the application of Section 409A by reason of the short-term deferral exemption or otherwise. For purposes of this paragraph, a “separation from service” shall mean a
complete severance for any reason of a Director’s relationship as a Director and/or independent contractor of the Company and any Affiliates. A Director may have a separation from service upon resignation as a Director even if the Director then
becomes an officer or employee of the Company or an Affiliate. In all events, separation from service shall be construed to have a meaning consistent with the term “separation from service” as used and defined in Section 409A of the
Code. 
  

	Section 6.	Amendment and Termination; Corrections. 


(a)          Amendments to the Plan.  The Board may amend, alter, suspend,
discontinue or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Agreement, prior approval of the shareholders of the Company shall be required for any amendment to the Plan
that: 
 (i)          requires shareholder approval under the rules or regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or any other securities exchange that are applicable to the Company; 

  
 8 








 (ii)          increases the number of shares
authorized under the Plan as specified in Section 4(a) of the Plan; 

(iii)          permits repricing of Options or Stock Appreciation Rights which is prohibited by
Section 5(g)(vii) of the Plan; and 
 (iv)          permits the award of Options
or Stock Appreciation Rights at a price less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, contrary to the provisions of Sections 5(a)(i) and 5(b) of the Plan. 

(b)          Amendments to Awards. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee
may waive any conditions of or rights of the Company under any outstanding Award, prospectively or retroactively. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Committee may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate any outstanding Award,
prospectively or retroactively, but no such action may adversely affect the rights of the holder of such Award without the consent of the Participant or holder or beneficiary thereof. The Company intends that Awards under the Plan shall satisfy the
requirements of Section 409A to avoid any adverse tax results thereunder, and the Committee shall administer and interpret the Plan and all Award Agreements in a manner consistent with that intent. If any provision of the Plan or an Award
Agreement would result in adverse tax consequences under Section 409A, the Committee may amend that provision (or take any other action reasonably necessary) to avoid any adverse tax results and no action taken to comply with Section 409A
shall be deemed to impair or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any holder of an Award or beneficiary thereof. 

(c)          Correction of Defects, Omissions and Inconsistencies.  The
Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award or Award Agreement in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable to implement or maintain the effectiveness of the Plan.

  

	Section 7.	General Provisions. 


(a)          No Rights to Awards.  No
Non-Employee Director, Participant or other Person shall have any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of
Non-Employee Directors, Participants or holders or beneficiaries of Awards under the Plan. The terms and conditions of Awards need not be the same with respect to any Participant or with respect to different
Participants. 
 (b)          Award Agreements.  No Participant shall
have rights under an Award granted to such Participant unless and until an Award Agreement shall have been duly executed on behalf of the Company and, if requested by the Company, signed by the Participant, or until such Award Agreement is delivered
and accepted through any electronic medium in accordance with procedures established by the Company. 

(c)          No Rights of Shareholders.  Except with respect to Restricted
Stock and Stock Awards, neither a Participant nor the Participant’s legal representative shall be, or have any of the rights and privileges of, a shareholder of the Company with respect to any Shares issuable upon the exercise or payment of any
Award, in whole or in part, unless and until the Shares have been issued. 

(d)          No Limit on Other Compensation Plans or Arrangements.  Nothing
contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other or additional compensation plans or arrangements, and such plans or arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in
specific cases. 
 (e)          No Right to Directorship.  The grant
of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to be retained as a Director.

 (f)          Governing Law.  The
validity, construction and effect of the Plan or any Award, and any rules and regulations relating to the Plan or any Award, shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota. 

(g)          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 would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable
laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Committee, materially altering the purpose or intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction or Award, and the
remainder of the Plan or any such Award shall remain in full force and effect. 

(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 or any Affiliate and a Participant or any other Person. To the extent that any Person acquires a right to receive payments from the
Company or any Affiliate pursuant to an Award, such right shall be no greater than the right of any unsecured general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. 
 (i)          No Fractional Shares.  No fractional Shares shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award, and the Committee shall
determine whether cash shall be paid in lieu of any fractional Share or whether such fractional Share or any rights thereto shall be cancelled, terminated or otherwise eliminated. 

(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. 

(k)          Other Benefits.  No compensation or benefit awarded to or realized
by any Participant under the Plan shall be included for the purpose of computing such Participant’s compensation under any compensation-based retirement, disability, or similar plan of the Company unless
required by law or otherwise provided by such other plan.

be governed by the terms and conditions of the 2002 Plan and any award agreements entered into thereunder. 
  

	Section 9.	Term of the Plan.

at midnight on June 23, 2019, unless terminated before then by the Board. Awards may be granted under the Plan until the earlier to occur of termination of the Plan or the date on which all Shares available for Awards under the Plan have been
