The Administrator, in its sole discretion, establishes the terms of all Awards granted under the Plan.  Awards may be granted individually or in tandem with other types of Awards.  All Awards are subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Grant Agreement.  If there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Plan and a Grant Agreement, the terms of the Plan shall control unless the Grant Agreement explicitly states that an exception to the Plan is being made.  By accepting an Award, a Participant agrees that the Award shall  be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan and the applicable Grant Agreement.








	7.	Stock Options










7.1            Terms and Grant Agreement.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, Options may be granted to Participants at any time as determined by the Administrator.  The Administrator shall determine, and the Grant Agreement shall reflect, the following for each Option granted:


 


(a)            the number of shares subject to each Option;


 


(b)           duration of the Option (provided that no Option shall have an expiration date later than the the 10th anniversary of the date of grant and no Incentive Stock Option that is granted to any Participant who is a Ten Percent Owner shall have an expiration date later than the fifth anniversary of the date of grant);


 


(c)            vesting requirements that specify a vesting period;


 


(d)            whether the Option is an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option; provided, however, no Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option unless so designated by the Administrator at the time of grant or in the Grant Agreement evidencing such Option;


 


(e)            the exercise price for each Option, which, except with respect to substitute awards complying with Code Section 424 and regulations thereunder, shall not be less than the Fair Market Value on the date of the grant (with respect to Incentive Stock Options, 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant for any Participant who is a Ten Percent Owner);


 


(f)            the permissible method(s) of payment of the exercise price;


 


(g)           the rights of the Participant upon termination of employment or service as a director; and


 


(h)            any other terms or conditions established by the Administrator.








- 6 -







7.2            Exercise of Options.  Options shall be exercisable at such times and subject to such restrictions and conditions as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, which need not be the same for all Participants.







An Option shall be exercised by delivering written notice as specified in the Grant Agreement on the form of notice provided by the Company.  Options may be exercised in whole or in part. The exercise price of any Option shall be payable to the Company in full, in cash or in cash equivalent approved by the Adminstrator, by tendering (if permitted by the Adminstrator) previously acquired Common having an aggregate Fair Market Value at the time of exercise equal to the total Option exercise price (provided that the tendered Common Stock must have been held by the Participant for any period required by the Adminstrator), or by any other means that the Adminstrator determines to be consistent with the Plan's purpose and applicable law. For a Participant who is subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Company may require that the method of payment comply with Section 16 and the rules and regulations thereunder.  Any payment in shares of Common Stock, if permitted, shall be made by delivering the shares to the secretary of the Company, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank, together with any other documents and evidence as the secretary shall require(or delivering a certification or attestation of ownership of such Common Stock, if permitted by the Adminstrator).







Certificates for shares of Common Stock purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of or for the account of the Participant or other person entitled to receive the shares and delivered to the Participant or other person as soon as practicable following the effective date on which the Option is exercised.







7.3            Incentive Stock Options.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, no term of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended, or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be exercised so as to disqualify the Plan under Code Section 422, or, without the consent of any affected Participant, to cause any Incentive Stock Option previously granted to fail to qualify for the federal income tax treatment afforded under Code Section 421. An Option shall be considered to be an Incentive Stock Option only to the extent that the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Option first becomes exercisable in a calendar year do not have an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date of the grant of the Option) in excess of the “current limit.”  The current limit for any optionee for any calendar year shall be $100,000 minus the aggregate Fair Market Value at the date of grant of the number of shares of Common Stock available for purchase for the first time in the same year under each other incentive option previously granted to the optionee under all other plans of the Company and Affiliates.  Any Common Stock which would cause the foregoing limit to be violated shall be deemed to have been granted under a separate Nonqualified Stock Option, otherwise identical in its terms to those of the Incentive Stock Option.  The current limit will be calculated according to the chronological order in which the Options were granted.







7.4            Reduction in Price or Reissuance.  In no event shall the Administrator cancel any outstanding Option for the purpose of (i) providing a replacement award under this or another Company plan, or (ii) cashing out an Option, unless such cash-out occurs in conjunction with a Change in Control.  Additionally, in no event shall the Administrator, without first receiving shareholder approval, (a) cancel any outstanding Option for the purpose of reissuing the Option to the Participant at a lower exercise price or (b) reduce the exercise price of a previously issued Option.








- 7 -







7.5            Notification of Disqualifying Disposition.  If any Participant shall make any disposition of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option under the circumstances described in Code Section 421(b) (relating to certain disqualifying dispositions), such Participant shall notify the Company of such disposition within ten (10) calendar days thereof.








	8.	Stock Appreciation Rights










8.1            Terms and Agreement.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, Stock Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants at any time as determined by the Administrator.  The grant price of the SAR shall be at least equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of Stock as determined on the date of the grant, except with respect to substitute awards complying with Code Section 424 and regulations thereunder.  The Administrator shall determine, and the Grant Agreement shall reflect, the following for each SAR granted:


 


(a)            the number of shares subject to each SAR;


 


(b)            whether the SAR is a Related SAR or a Freestanding SAR (as defined below);


 


(c)            the duration of the SAR (provided however, that no SAR shall have an expiration date later than the date after the 10th anniversary of the date of grant);


 


(d)            vesting requirements;


 


(e)            rights of the Participant upon termination of employment or service as a director; and


 


(f)            any other terms or conditions established by the Administrator.







8.2            Related and Freestanding SARs.   A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in connection with an Option, either at the time of grant or at any time thereafter during the term of the Option (a “Related SAR”), or may be granted unrelated to an Option (a “Freestanding SAR”).







8.3            Surrender of Option.  A Related SAR shall require the holder, upon exercise, to surrender the Option with respect to the number of shares as to which the SAR is exercised, in order to receive payment.  The Option will, to the extent surrendered, cease to be exercisable.







8.4            Reduction in Number of Shares Subject to Related SARs.  For Related SARs, the number of shares subject to the SAR shall not exceed the number of shares subject to the Option.  For example, if the SAR covers the same number of shares as the Option, the exercise of a portion of the Option shall reduce the number of shares subject to the SAR to the number of shares remaining under the Option.  If the Related SAR covers fewer shares than the Option, the exercise of a portion of the Option shall reduce the number of shares subject to the SAR to the extent necessary so that the number of remaining shares subject to the SAR is not more than the remaining shares under the Option.








- 8 -







8.5            Exercisability.  Subject to Section  8.7 and to any rules and restrictions imposed by the Administrator, a Related SAR will be exercisable at the time or times, and only to the extent, that the Option is exercisable and will not be transferable except to the extent that the Option is transferable.  A Freestanding SAR will be exercisable as determined by the Administrator but in no event after 10 years from the date of grant.







8.6            Payment.  Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the holder will be entitled to receive payment of an amount determined by multiplying:


 


(a)            The excess of the Fair Market Value on the date of exercise over the Fair Market Value on the date of grant, by


 


(b)            The number of shares with respect to which the SAR is being exercised.


 


The Administrator may limit the amount payable upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right.  Any limitation must be determined as of the date of grant and noted on the Grant Agreement evidencing the grant.


 


Payment may be made in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Common Stock, in the Administrator’s sole discretion.  No fractional shares shall be used for such payment and the Administrator shall determine whether cash shall be given in lieu of such fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated.


 


8.7            Reduction in Price or Reissuance.  In no event shall the Administrator cancel any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right for the purpose of (i) providing a replacement award under this or another Company plan, or (ii) cashing out a Stock Appreciation Right, unless such cash-out occurs in conjunction with a change in control.  Additionally, in no event shall the Administrator, without first receiving shareholder approval, (a) cancel any outstanding Stock Appreciation Right for the purpose of reissuing the Stock Appreciation Right to the Participant at a lower exercise price or (b) reduce the exercise price of a previously issued Stock Appreciation Right.







8.8            Additional Terms.  The Administrator may impose additional conditions or limitations on the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem necessary or desirable to secure for holders the benefits of Rule 16b-3, or any successor provision, or as it may otherwise deem advisable.

At the time of the grant of the Stock Award, the Administrator may establish a restriction period for the shares granted, which may be time-based, based on the achievement of specified Performance Goals, a combination of time- and Performance Goal-based, or based on any other criteria the Administrator deems appropriate.  The Administrator may divide the shares into classes and assign a different restriction period for each class.  The Administrator may impose additional conditions or restrictions upon the vesting of the Stock Award as it deems fit in its sole discretion.  If all applicable conditions are satisfied, then upon the termination of the restriction period with respect to a share of restricted Common Stock, the share shall vest and the restrictions shall lapse.  To the extent required to ensure that a Performance Goal-based Award of the Stock Award to an executive officer is deductible by the Company pursuant to Code Section 162(m), any such Award shall vest only upon the Administrator’s determination that the Performance Goals applicable to the Award have been attained.







9.3            Restrictions on Transfer Prior to Vesting.  Prior to the vesting of a restricted Stock Award, the Participant may not sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, transfer, or otherwise encumber the Stock Award.  Upon any attempt to transfer rights in a share of restricted Common Stock, the share and all related rights shall immediately be forfeited by the Participant.  Upon the vesting of a restricted Stock Award, the transfer restrictions of this section shall lapse with respect to that share.







9.4            Rights as a Shareholder.  Except for the restrictions set forth here and unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, the Participant shall have all the rights of a shareholder with respect to shares of a Stock Award, including but not limited to the right to vote and the right to receive dividends, provided that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may require that any dividends paid on shares of a restricted Stock Award be held in escrow until all restrictions on the shares have lapsed.







9.5            Section 83(b) Election.  The Administrator may provide in the Grant Agreement that the Award is conditioned upon the Participant making or not making an election under Code Section 83(b).

The Administrator may divide the awarded Restricted Stock Units into classes and assign a different restriction period for each class.  The Administrator may impose any additional conditions or restrictions upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units as it deems fit in its sole discretion.  If all applicable conditions are satisfied, then upon the termination of the restriction period with respect to a Restricted Stock Unit, the Unit shall vest.  To the extent required to ensure that a Performance Goal-based Award of Restricted Stock Units to an executive officer is deductible by the Company pursuant to Code Section 162(m), any such Award shall become vested only upon the Administrator’s determination that the Performance Goals applicable to the Award, if any, have been attained.







10.3            Payment.  Upon vesting of a Restricted Stock Unit, the Participant shall be entitled to receive payment of an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock.  Payment may be made in cash, Stock, or a combination of cash and Stock, in the Administrator’s sole discretion.








	11.	Performance Awards










11.1            Terms and Agreement.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, Performance Awards may be granted to Participants at any time as determined by the Administrator.  The Administrator shall determine, and the Grant Agreement shall reflect, the following for the Performance Awards granted:








- 11 -







(a)            the number of shares or units awarded;







(b)            the performance period and performance criteria or Performance Goals applicable to the Award;







(c)            whether dividend equivalents will be credited with respect to Performance Awards, and if so, any accrual, forfeiture, or payout restrictions on the dividend equivalents;







(d)            the rights of the Participant upon termination of employment or service as a director (which may be different based on the reason for termination); and







(e)            any other terms or conditions established by the Administrator.







To the extent an Award constitutes “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Code Section 409A, the Administrator shall establish Grant Agreement terms and provisions that comply with Code Section 409A and regulations thereunder.







11.2         Payment.  After the applicable performance period has ended, the Administrator will review the performance criteria and/or Performance Goals and determine the amount payable with respect to the Award, based upon the extent to which the performance criteria and/or Performance Goals have been attained within the performance period and any other applicable terms and conditions.  Payment of an earned Performance Award may be made in cash, Common Stock, or a combination of cash and Common Stock, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.








	12.	Other Stock-Based Awards










The Administrator may from time to time grant other stock-based awards to eligible Participants in such amounts, on such terms and conditions, and for such consideration, including no consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by law, as it shall determine.  Other stock-based awards may be denominated in cash, in Common Stock or other securities, in stock-equivalent units, in stock appreciation units, in securities or debentures convertible into Common Stock, or in any combination of the foregoing and may be paid in Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or in a combination of Common Stock or other securities and cash, all as determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator.








	13.	Change in Control Provisions










Except as otherwise provided in any written agreement between the Participant and the Company or its Affiliate in effect when a Change in Control occurs, in the event an acquiring company does not assume Plan Awards:








- 12 -







(a)            all outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall become fully vested and exercisable;







(b)            for Performance- Awards, to the extent consistent with Section 162(m), all Performance Goals or performance criteria shall be deemed achieved at target levels and all other terms and conditions met, with Award payout prorated for the portion of the performance period completed as of the Change in Control and payment to occur within 45 days of the Change in Control;







(c)            all restrictions and conditional applicable to any restricted Stock Award shall lapse;







(d)            all restrictions and conditions applicable to any Restricted Stock Units shall lapse and payment shall be made within 45 days of the Change in Control;







(e)            all other Awards shall be delivered or paid within 45 days of the Change in Control.








	14.	Miscellaneous










14.1            Withholding of Taxes.  Grantees and holders of Awards shall pay to the Company or its Affiliate, or make provision satisfactory to the Administrator for payment of, any taxes required to be withheld in respect of Awards under the Plan no later than the date of the event creating the tax liability.  The Company or its Affiliate may, to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax obligations from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee or holder of an Award.  In the event that payment to the Company or its Affiliate of such tax obligations is made in shares of Common Stock, such shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the applicable date for such purposes.







14.2            Transferability.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section, Awards shall not be transferable, and no Award or interest therein may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.    However, the Award of a Nonstatutory Option or Restricted Stock may be transferred by the Participant through a gift or domestic relations order in settlement of marital property rights to any of the following donees or transferees and may be reacquired by the Participant from any of such donors or transferees (each a “Permitted Transferee”):







(a)            any “family member,” which includes any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law, or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships and any individual sharing the Participant’s household (other than a tenant or employee);







(b)            a trust in which family members have more than 50% of the beneficial interest;







(c)            a foundation in which family members (or the Participant) control the management of assets; and







(d)            any other entity in which family members (or the Participant) own more than 50% of the voting interests,








- 13 -







provided, that (x) any such transfer is without payment of any value whatsoever; and (y) subsequent transfers of transferred Awards shall be prohibited except in accordance with this Section.  Following transfer, any such Awards and any securities issued pursuant thereto shall continue to be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable immediately prior to transfer (including  but not limited to risks of forfeiture), provided that the term of the Plan and the Grant Agreement shall continue to be applied with respect to the original Participant, and any Awards shall be exercisable by the transferee only to the extent and for the periods specified in the Grant Agreement. No transfer of an Award by will or the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Administrator has been furnished with (a) written notice and a copy of the will and/or such evidence as the Administrator may deem necessary to establish the validity of the transfer, and (b) an agreement by the transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions of the Award that would have applied to the Participant and to be bound by the acknowledgments made by the Participant in connection with the grant of the Award.  Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator in accord with the provisions of the first sentence of this subsection, an Award may be exercised during the lifetime of the grantee, only by the grantee or, during the period the grantee is under a legal disability, by the grantee’s guardian or legal representative.







14.3            Adjustments; Business Combinations.  In the event of changes in the Common Stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend, spin-off, split-up, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, business combination or exchange of shares and the like, the Administrator shall, in its discretion and without the consent of holders of Awards, make appropriate adjustments to (i) the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan as provided in Section 4 of the Plan, and (ii) the number, kind and price of shares covered by outstanding Awards.  In the event of any such changes in the Common Stock, the Administrator shall, in its discretion and without the consent of holders of Awards, make any other adjustments in outstanding Awards, including but not limited to reducing the number of shares subject to Awards or providing or mandating alternative settlement methods such as settlement of the Awards in cash or in shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or of any other entity.







The Administrator is authorized to make, in its discretion and without the consent of holders of Awards, adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles, whenever the Administrator 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.







14.4            Substitution of Awards in Mergers and Acquisitions.  Awards may be granted under the Plan from time to time in substitution for Awards held by employees, officers, consultants or directors of entities who become or are about to become employees, officers, consultants or directors of the Company or an Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing entity with the Company or an Affiliate, or the acquisition by the Company or an Affiliate of the assets or stock of the employing entity.  The terms and conditions of any substitute Awards so granted may vary from the terms and conditions set forth herein to the extent that the Administrator deems appropriate at the time of grant to conform without dilution or enlargement of benefits the substitute Awards to the provisions of the awards for which they are substituted.








- 14 -







14.5            Stock Restriction Agreement and Voting Trust. As a condition precedent to the grant of any Award under the Plan, the exercise pursuant to such an Award, or to the delivery of certificates for shares issued pursuant to any Award, the Administrator may require the grantee or the grantee’s successor or permitted transferee, as the case may be, to become a party to a stock  restriction agreement of the Company and/or a voting trust agreement in such form(s) as the Administrator may determine from time to time.







14.6            Termination, Amendment and Modification of the Plan.  The Board may terminate, amend or modify the Plan or any portion thereof at any time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment shall be made without shareholder approval if approval is required under applicable law or the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company is listed.







14.7            Non-Guarantee of Employment or Service.  Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement thereunder shall confer any right on an individual to continue in the service of the Company or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate such service at any time with or without cause or notice.







14.8            Compliance with Securities Laws; Listing and Registration.  If at any time the Administrator determines that the delivery of Common Stock under the Plan is or may be unlawful under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction, or federal or state securities laws, the right to exercise an Award or receive shares of Common Stock pursuant to an Award shall be suspended until the Administrator determines that such delivery is lawful.  The Company shall have no obligation to effect any registration or qualification of the Common Stock under federal or state laws.







The Company may require that a grantee, as a condition to exercise of an Award, and as a condition to the delivery of any share certificate, make such written representations (including representations to the effect that such person will not dispose of the Common Stock so acquired in violation of federal or state securities laws) and furnish such information as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be appropriate to permit the Company to issue the Common Stock in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws.  The stock certificates for any shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Plan may bear a legend restricting transferability of the shares of Common Stock unless such shares are registered or an exemption from registration is available under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.







14.9            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 grantee or any other person.  To the extent that any grantee or other 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.







14.10       Section 409A.  Unless the Adminstrator expressly determines otherwise, Awards (and any amendmenst thereto) are intended to be exempt from Code Section 409A as stock rights or short-term deferrals and, accordingly, the terms of any Awards shall be construed and administered to preserve such exemption (including with respect to the time of payment following a lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award). To the extent that Section 409A applies to a particular Award granted under the Plan (notwithstanding the preceding sentence), then the terms of the Award shall be construed and administered to permit the Award to comply with Section 409A, including, if necessary, by delaying the payment of any Award payable upon separation from service to a Participant who is a “specified employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A and determined consistently for all of the Company’s arrangements that are subject to Code Section 409A), for a period of six months and one day after such Participant’s separation from service, and by construing any reference to “termination of employment” or the like to be a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A.   In the event any person is subject to income inclusion, additional interest or taxes, or any other adverse consequences under Code Section 409A, then neither the Company, the Administrator, the Board nor its or their employees, designees, agents or contractors shall be liable to any Participant or other persons in connection with such adverse consequences under Code Section 409A.








- 15 -







14.11        No Fractional Shares.  No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan.  The Administrator shall determine whether cash, other Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of any fractional shares or whether fractional shares or any rights to fractional shares shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.







14.12        Beneficiary.  A Participant may file with the Administrator a written designation of a beneficiary on the form prescribed by the Administrator and may, from time to time, amend or revoke the designation.  If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, if any, shall be deemed to be the Participant’s beneficiary.  If the Participant does not have a spouse, the the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be the Participant’s beneficiary.







14.13        Section 162(m).  The Plan is designed and intended, and all provisions shall be construed in a manner, to comply, to the extent applicable, with Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder.  To the extent permitted by Code Section 162(m), the Administrator shall have sole discretion to reduce or eliminate  payment of the amount of any Award which might otherwise become payable upon attainment of a Performance Goal.







14.14        Form of Communication.  Any election, application, claim, notice, or other communication required or permitted to be made by a Participant to the Administrator or the Company shall be made in writing and in such form as the Company may prescribe.  Any communication shall be effective upon receipt by Motti Shechter, President at 7683 Sitio Manana, Carlsbad, CA 92009.







14.15        Severability.  If any provision of the Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Plan shall not be affected.







14.16        Governing Law.  The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Grant Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules, regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Administrator relating to the Plan or such Grant Agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined exclusively in accordance with applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to its conflict of laws principles.







14.17        Effective Date; Termination Date.  The Plan is effective as of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board, subject to approval of the stockholders within twelve months before or after such date.  No Award shall be granted under the Plan after the close of business on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Plan.  Subject to other applicable provisions of the Plan, all Awards made under the Plan prior to such termination of the Plan shall remain in effect until such Awards have been satisfied or terminated in accordance with the Plan and the terms of such Awards.
