|   |   | Company’s assets” means a sale or other disposition   transaction or series of related transactions involving assets of the Company   or of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (including the stock   of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company) in which the value of   the assets or stock being sold or otherwise disposed of (as measured by the   purchase price being paid therefore or by such other method as the Board   determines is appropriate in a case where there is no readily ascertainable   purchase price) constitutes more than two-thirds of the fair market value of   the Company (as hereinafter defined).    For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “fair market value of the   Company” means the aggregate market value of the Company’s outstanding Common   Stock (on a fully diluted basis) plus the aggregate market value of the   Company’s other outstanding equity securities, if any.  The aggregatemarket value of the Common   Stock will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of the Common   Stock (on a fully diluted basis) outstanding on the date of the execution and   delivery of a definitive agreement with respect to the transaction or series   of related transactions (the “**Transaction Date**”) by the average closing   price of the Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding the   Transaction Date.  The aggregate   market value of any other equity securities of the Company will be determined   in a manner similar to that prescribed in the immediately preceding sentence   for determining the aggregate market value of the Common Stock or by such   other method as the Board determines is appropriate; provided that, in the   event that on the Transaction Date there is no public market for such Common   Stock or other equity security, the fair market value of the equity   securities or Common Stock will be as reasonably determined by theBoard. |

(h)  **Extension of Term.**  Upon Termination of Directorship by reason of death or Disability, the term of any Option which by its terms would otherwise expire after the Participant’s Termination of Directorship but prior to the end of the period following the Participant’s Termination of Directorship described in Section 8(h), will be extended so as to permit any unexercised Option to be exercised at any time within the period described in Section 8(h); provided, however, that in no event may the term of any Option expire more than 10 years after the grant date of the Option.

(i)  **Termination Upon Capital Transaction.**  This Plan and each Option, whether vested or unvested, will terminate upon a Capital Transaction unless such Options are assumed by a successor corporation in a merger or consolidation immediately prior to such Capital Transaction.  If outstanding Options are not assumed by a successor corporation in a merger or consolidation, all Participants will have the right to exercise all vested Options during the 15 days prior to such Capital Transaction.  The Company will, subject to any nondisclosure provisions, attempt to provide Participants at least 15 days notice of the Option termination date.  The Committee may (but will not be obligated to) (a) accelerate the vesting of any Option, or (b) apply the foregoing provisions, including but not limited to termination of this Plan and the Options granted pursuant to the Plan, in the event there is a sale of 51% or more of thestock of the Company in any two-year period or a transaction similar to a Capital Transaction.

**SECTION 9     SECURITIES LAW AND LISTING MATTERS. **

(a)  **Compliance with Laws.**  If the Committee deems it necessary, the Company may require a written investment intent representation by the Participant and may require that a restrictive legend be affixed to certificates for shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Options.  If the Committee determines that the exercise or vesting of, or delivery of benefits pursuant to, any Option would violate any applicable provisions of federal or state securities law or the listing requirements of any national securities exchange on which are listed any of the Company’s equity securities, then the Committee may postpone any such exercise, vesting, or delivery, as the case may be, but the Company will use its best efforts to cause such exercise, vesting or delivery to comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date.

(b)  **Registration and Listing.**  If the Committee determines, in its discretion, that it is necessary or desirable that the shares subject to any Option (a) be registered, listed or qualified on any securities exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market or under any applicable law, or (b) be approved by any governmental regulatory body, or (c) be approved by the stockholders of the Company, as a condition of, or in connection with, the granting of such Option, or the issuance or purchase of shares upon exercise of the Option, the Option may not be exercised in whole or in part unless such registration, listing, qualification or approval has been obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee.

**SECTION 10     AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THIS PLAN.**

Unless previously terminated by the Board, this Plan will terminate on April 25, 2012 and no Options will be granted thereafter.  Such termination will not affect any Option previously granted.  The Board may from time to time in its discretion amend or modify this Plan without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, except as such approval as may be required under the Exchange Act, the Code or by the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is traded.  Any amendment or termination will not materially and adversely affect any Option then outstanding under this Plan unless consented to by the affected Optionee.

**SECTION 11     GENERAL PROVISIONS.**

(a)  **Governing Law.**  The validity, construction, interpretation, administration and effect of this Plan and any rules, regulations and actions relating to this Plan will be governed by and construed exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

(b)  **Severability.**  If all or any part of this Plan is declared by any court, governmental authority or arbitrator to be unlawful or invalid, such unlawfulness or invalidity will not serve to invalidate any portion of this Plan not declared to be unlawful or invalid.  Any Section or part of a Section so declared to be unlawful or invalid will, if possible, be construed in a manner which will give effect to the terms of such Section or part of a Section to the fullest extent possible while remaining lawful and valid.

 (c)  **Notices.**  All notices and demands of any kind which the Committee, any Participant, or other person may be required or desires to give under the terms of this Plan will be in writing and must be personally delivered or sent by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at its principal place of business and to the Participant at the address shown in the stock option agreement or at any other address the Participant indicates by notice to the Company.  Delivery by mail will be deemed made at the expiration of the third day after the day of mailing, except for notice of the exercise of an Option and related documents which must be actually received by the Company.

7

(d)  **No Other Rights.**  Nothing in the Plan, or any Option granted under the Plan, will confer any right to any person to continue as a director of the Company or interfere in any way with the rights of the stockholders of the Company or the Board to elect and remove directors.
