Exhibit 10.18

                                 LOAN AGREEMENT

         This Loan Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into by and between NOXSO
Corporation, a Virginia corporation (the "Company") and TJ Management Group,
LLC, a New York limited liability company ("Lender") to be effective as of the
21st day of December 2004.

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, the Company is in need of immediate capital to fund its
planned operations.

         WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make a loan to the Company in the total
aggregate principal amount of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($150,000 USD)
upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and the Company is willing to
borrow the stated amount upon such terms.

         NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The Loan.

         1.1. On the date hereof, Lender agrees to make a loan (the "Loan") to
the Company in the principal amount of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
($150,000 USD). The Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in
substantially the same form as attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (the "Note"),
which Note shall be executed by the Company and delivered to Lender upon
delivery of a fully executed copy of this Agreement. The Note shall be in the
principal amount of the funds borrowed.

         1.2. The Company shall use the net proceeds of the Note for working
capital and other purposes.

         1.3 The Company, Rocky Point Partners, LLC and Flowerdale, LLC have
reached agreement whereby a security interest will be granted by Flowerdale, LLC
as collateral to Lender to secure repayment of this Note in certain property
acquired under the Agreement dated November 1, 2004, located at 3500 LOOP 12 DA,
Dallas, Texas (the "Property"), but the title to the Property is still held by
Flowerdale, LLC. When title to the Property is transferred to the Company the
Company will pay off the Note out of proceeds of financing from the purchase of
the Property.

Section 2. Finance Charges. All outstanding principal shall bear interest at the
rate of two and one-half percent (2.5%) a.p.r. In addition, on the effective
date of this Agreement, Lender shall receive 25,000 restricted shares of the
Company's common stock and warrants exercisable for 50,000 restricted shares of
the Company's common stock, which warrants shall be in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit "B". At the time the Loan is repaid in full the
Lender will receive an additional 25,000 restricted shares of the Company's
common stock.

Section 3. Payments. Principal and interest shall be due and payable in a single
balloon payment on the six-month anniversary of the Note. The Company may, from
time to time, in the Company's discretion, make one or more periodic payments to
Lender. Such payments shall be credited to the Company's account on the date
that such payment is received by Lender. Such payments shall be applied first to
late charges and collection costs, if any, then to accrued interest to the date
of payment, and then to the principal outstanding. In addition, the Company
anticipates the transfer of title to certain property located at 3500 LOOP 12
DA, Dallas, Texas (the "Property") acquired under the Agreement dated November
1, 2004, and using the Property to obtain significant funding. If and when
received, the Company will use any funding received in connection with the
Property to pay off the Loan.

Section 4. Deliveries. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement,
the parties shall deliver to each other the following:

         (a)      The properly executed Note of even date herewith by and
                  between Lender and the Company.

         (b)      The Warrant of even date herewith by and between Lender and
                  the Company.

         (c)      The Loan proceeds.

         (d)      As provided in Section 2., 25,000 restricted shares of the
                  Company's common stock and warrants exercisable for 50,000
                  restricted shares of the Company's common stock shall be
                  delivered to Lender by the Company.

Section 5. Representations of Lender.

         5.1 Lender's representations in this Agreement are complete and
accurate to the best of Lender's knowledge, and the Company may rely upon them.

         5.2 Lender is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the
Note, warrant and the underlying common stock (individually and collectively,
the "Securities") can afford the loss of the entire investment in the
Securities, and will, after making an investment in the Securities, have
sufficient means of providing for Lender's current needs and possible future
contingencies.

         5.3 The Securities will not be sold by Lender without registration
under applicable securities acts or a proper exemption from such registration.

         5.4 The Securities are being acquired for Lender's own account and
risk, for investment purposes, and not on behalf of any other person or with a
view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof within the
meaning of the Securities Act of 1933. Lender is aware that there are
substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Securities.

         5.5 Lender has had access to any and all information concerning the
Company that Lender and its financial, tax and legal advisors required or
considered necessary to make a proper evaluation of this investment.
Specifically, Lender has had the opportunity to review the Company's annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 and all
subsequent filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Securities Filings"). Lender understands that the Company does not have
sufficient working capital to execute its business plan, the Company has
substantial debt obligations, the Company has not filed its 10-QSB for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2004 so the information in the Securities
Filings is not current and that the Company has no agreements assuring the
Company that it will obtain additional funding based on any specific valuation
or at all. In making the decision to acquire the Securities, the Lender and its
advisers have relied solely upon the Securities Filings and their own
independent investigations, and fully understand that there are no guarantees,
assurances or promises in connection with any investment hereunder and
understand that the particular tax consequences arising from this investment in
the Company will depend upon its individual circumstances. Lender further
understands that no opinion is being given as to any securities or tax matters
involving the offering.

                                       2
<PAGE>

         5.6 Lender also understands and agrees that stop transfer instructions
relating to the Securities will be placed in the Company's transfer ledger, and
that the Securities will bear a legend in substantially the following form:

                  THIS SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
                  REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THEY
                  MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN
                  THE ABSENCE OF A REGISTRATION STATEMENT IN EFFECT WITH RESPECT
                  TO THESE SECURITIES UNDER SUCH ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
                  SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
                  REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A OF
                  SUCH ACT.

         5.7 Lender knows that the Securities are offered and sold pursuant to
exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, and state
securities law based, in part, on these warranties and representations, which
are the very essence of this Agreement, and constitute a material part of the
bargained-for consideration without which this Agreement would not have been
executed.

         5.8 Lender has the capacity to protect Lender's own interest in
connection with this transaction or has a pre-existing personal or business
relationship with the Company or one or more of its officers, directors or
controlling persons consisting of personal or business contacts of a nature and
duration such as would enable a reasonably prudent purchaser to be aware of the
character, business acumen and general business and financial circumstances of
such person with whom such relationship exists.

         5.9 This Agreement when fully executed and delivered by the Company
will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of Lender, enforceable in
accordance with its terms. Lender was not formed or organized for the specific
purpose of acquiring the Securities. In the event Lender is an entity, the
purchase of the Securities by Lender is a permissible investment in accordance
with Lender's Articles of Incorporation or other similar charter document, and
has been duly approved by all requisite action by the entity's owners,
directors, officers or other authorized managers. The person signing this
document and all documents necessary to consummate the purchase of the
Securities has all requisite authority to sign such documents on behalf of
Lender.

         5.10 Lender represents that Lender is a sophisticated and an
"accredited investor" as defined under Rule 501 of Regulation D.

Section 6. Representations of the Company.

         6.1. The Company is a duly organized and validly existing corporation
in good standing under the laws of Virginia.

         6.2. The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to

action necessary to authorize this Agreement.

         6.3. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance by
the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, and the consummation of the

authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This
Agreement will, as of the effective date, be duly executed and delivered by the

                                       3
<PAGE>

Company and will constitute the valid and binding agreement of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting the
enforceability of creditors' rights generally, general equitable principles and
the discretion of courts in granting equitable remedies.

         6.4. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the
performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder, and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, do not and will not (a) violate or
conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company; (b) require any consent, approval or
notice under, or registration under or payment on account of, or conflict with,
or result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without the giving
of notice or the lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of
termination, modification (including, in the case of leases, any change in the
amount or nature of the rent), cancellation or acceleration or result in the
creation or imposition of any lien upon the property of the Company) under, any
of the terms, conditions or provisions of any (i) note, bond, mortgage,
indenture, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which
the Company is a party or by which any portion of its properties or assets may
be bound, or (ii) permit, license, approval, franchise or other governmental or
regulatory authorization held or used by or binding on the Company; (c) violate
or contravene any law, statute, rule or regulation, or any order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree or award of any governmental authority binding on
the Company; or (d) require any action, consent, approval or authorization of,
or review by, or declaration, registration or filing with, or notice to, any
governmental authority, except such filings as may be required in connection
with applicable securities laws.

Section 7. Covenants.

         7.1. The Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Company.

         7.2. The Company will comply with all applicable statutes, regulations,
orders and restrictions of the United States, any state, municipality or other
governmental division thereof, and agencies and instrumentalities of the

property, except where such non-compliance will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company or its business.

         7.3. The Company will file, when due, all federal, state and local tax
and information returns that it is required to file. The Company will pay when

otherwise due and payable by it.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

         8.1. This Agreement, including any attached exhibits or schedules,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject
matter contained in this Agreement. All prior and contemporaneous agreements,
representations and understandings of the parties, oral or written, are

amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless in writing and executed by
the Company and Lender.

         8.2. Registration Rights. If at any time or from time to time following
the execution of this Agreement as set forth below, the Corporation shall
determine to register any of its securities, either for its own account or the
account of a security holder or holders other than a registration relating
solely to employee benefit plans, then the Corporation shall:

                                       4
<PAGE>

         a.       Promptly give written notice of such proposed Registration to
                  the Lender and offer Lender the right to request inclusion of
                  any of the Warrant Shares in the proposed Registration;

         b.       Lender shall have ten (10) days or such longer period as shall
                  be set forth in the notice from the receipt of the notice to
                  deliver to the Corporation a written request specifying the
                  number of Warrant Shares Lender intends to sell;

         c.       If the registration of which the Corporation gives notice is
                  for a registered public offering involving an underwriting,
                  the Corporation shall so advise the Lender. In such event, the
                  right of the Lender to registration pursuant to this Agreement
                  shall be conditioned upon Lender's participation in such
                  underwriting and the inclusion of its common stock received in
                  connection with this Agreement on the same terms and
                  conditions as the shares of common stock, if any, otherwise
                  being sold through underwriters under such registration.

         d.       These registration rights shall expire when the when the
                  common stock to which the piggy-back registration rights
                  relates can be sold under Rule 144, as promulgated under the
                  Securities Act of 1933.

         8.3. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the
Company, its legal representatives, successors or assigns, and shall be for the
benefit of Lender and its respective successors and assigns.

         8.4. The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of reference only
and shall not limit or define the meaning of any provision of this Agreement.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

         8.5. If any action is brought by either party in respect to its rights
under this Agreement, or to obtain an interpretation thereof, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs as
determined by the court.

         8.6. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall
constitute a waiver of any other provision, whether or not similar, nor shall
any waiver be a continuing waiver. Except as expressly provided in this
Agreement, no waiver shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party
making the waiver. Either party may waive any provision of this Agreement
intended for its benefit; provided, however, such waiver shall in no way excuse
the other party from the performance of any of its other obligations under this
Agreement.

         8.7. The representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements
made by Lender shall survive the closing of the transaction described herein and
run in favor of, and for the benefit of, the Company. The representations,
warranties, acknowledgments and agreements made by the Company shall survive the

benefit of, Lender.

         8.8. The obligations of the parties hereto shall not be delegated or
assigned to any other party without the prior written consent of the other
party.

         8.9. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah.

                                       5

         8.10. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be furnished in
writing to each party at such party's address appearing on the signature page
below or as such party may otherwise direct in writing actually received by the
other party.

         8.11. The Company shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such
further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender may
reasonably require to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY    
    
    1997 DIRECTOR STOCK PLAN    
    
    (AMENDED AND RESTATED, EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 18, 2004)    
    

PART 1. PLAN ADMINISTRATION AND ELIGIBILITY 

I.    Purpose  

        The purpose of this amended and restated 1997 Director Stock Plan (the "Plan") of Hewlett-Packard Company (the "Company") is to encourage ownership in the Company
by outside directors of the Company (each, a "Non-Employee Director," or collectively, the "Non-Employee Directors") whose continued services are considered essential to the
Company's continued progress and thus to provide them with a further incentive to remain as directors of the Company. 

II.    Administration  

        The Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company or any committee (the "Committee") of the Board that will satisfy Rule 16b-3 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and any regulations promulgated thereunder, as from time to time in effect, including any successor rule
("Rule 16b-3"), shall supervise and administer the Plan. The Committee shall consist solely of two or more non-employee directors of the Company, who shall be appointed
by the Board. A member of the Board shall be deemed to be a "non-employee director" only if he satisfies such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for
non-employee directors under Rule 16b-3. Members of the Board receive no additional compensation for their services in connection with the administration of the Plan. 

        The
Board or the Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. All questions of interpretation of the Plan or of any shares issued under it
shall be determined by the Board or the Committee and such determination shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan. Any or all powers and discretion vested in the
Board or the Committee under this Plan may be exercised by any subcommittee so authorized by the Board or the Committee and satisfying the requirements of Rule 16b-3. 

III.    Participation in the Plan  

        Each member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates and who is providing service to the Company as a member of
the Board at the beginning of the Plan Year shall be eligible to receive an Annual Retainer (as defined in Section XII below) under the Plan. 

        Any
member of the Board who enters service after the beginning of the Plan Year may be eligible to receive a prorated Annual Retainer under the Plan as the Board or the Committee
determines in its discretion. 

IV.    Stock Subject to the Plan  

        The maximum number of shares of the Company's $0.01 par value Common Stock ("Common Stock") which may be issued under the Plan shall be Four Million (4,000,000).
The limitation on the number of shares which may be issued under the Plan shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section X of the Plan. 

        If
any outstanding option under the Plan for any reason expires or is terminated without having been exercised in full, the shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such option
shall again become available for grant pursuant to the Plan. 

PART 2. TERMS OF THE PLAN 

V.    Effective Date of the Plan  

        The Plan shall take effect on the date of adoption by the shareholders of the Company. The Plan shall terminate on February 24, 2007, unless earlier
terminated by the Board of Directors or the Committee. 

VI.    Time for Granting Options and Issuing Shares  

        No options shall be granted, and no Common Stock Payments (as defined in Section VII below) shall be made, after the date on which this Plan terminates.
The applicable terms of this Plan, and any terms and conditions applicable to the options granted or the shares issued prior to such date, shall survive the termination of the Plan and continue to
apply to such options and shares. 

VII.    Terms and Conditions  

        A.    Compensation Alternatives.    

        1.     Within
25 days after the beginning of the Plan Year (as defined in Section XII below), each Non-Employee Director will be entitled to select one
of the following alternative means of payment for the value of his Annual Retainer: 

	(i)
	A
minimum of seventy-five percent of the value of his Annual Retainer in the form of a Common Stock payment (a "Common Stock Payment") and the balance in cash (a "Cash
Payment"); or

	(ii)
	A
minimum of seventy-five percent of the value of his Annual Retainer in the form of an option to purchase shares of Common Stock (an "Option Payment") and a Cash
Payment. 

        2.     If
any Non-Employee Director fails to notify the Secretary of the Company in writing by 25 days after the beginning of the Plan Year of his desired
means to receive payment of the Annual Retainer for the Plan Year, then he shall be deemed to have elected an Option Payment for fifty percent of the value of his Annual Retainer, with the remaining
fifty percent in cash. Any such election, or any modification or termination of such an election, shall be filed with the Company on a form prescribed by the Board or the Committee for this purpose. 

        B.    Common Stock Payment.    

        1.     Date
of Payment. The shares constituting any Common Stock Payment shall be issued automatically one month after the beginning of each Plan Year (or, if such date is not a
business day, on the next succeeding business day) (the "Grant Date"), with the first payment under this Plan commencing March 1, 1997. Each award of a Common Stock Payment shall be evidenced
by an agreement which shall reflect the terms and conditions of the Common Stock Payment and such additional terms and conditions as may be determined by the Board or the Committee. 

        2.     Number
of Shares Subject to Common Stock Payment. The total number of shares of Common Stock included in each Common Stock Payment shall be determined by dividing the
amount of the Annual Retainer that is to be paid in stock by the Fair Market Value (as defined in Section XII 

below)
of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date. It shall be equal to the largest number of whole shares determined as follows: 

	

 	

 
	75% or more, if applicable, of Annual Retainer
 Fair Market Value on the Grant Date	  

    =  Number of Shares

        Any payment for a fractional share automatically shall be paid in cash based upon the Fair Market Value on the Grant Date of such fractional share. 

        3.     Holding
Period for Common Stock Payment Shares. The shares of Common Stock included in each Common Stock Payment shall be deposited in certificate or book entry form in
escrow with the Company's Secretary until such shares vest. The Non-Employee Director shall retain all rights in the shares while they are held in escrow, including, but not limited to,
voting rights and the right to receive dividends; provided, however, that the Non-Employee Director shall not have the right to pledge, sell or otherwise assign such shares until all
restrictions pertaining to such shares are terminated. Promptly after the shares vest, the Company's Secretary shall release the shares from escrow and deliver any applicable stock certificates to the
Non-Employee Director or release any applicable restrictions on the Non-Employee Director's book entry account. 

        C.    Option Payment.    

        Subject
to Section VII.A. above, each Non-Employee Director may specify the amount of his Annual Retainer to be received in the form of a non-statutory
option not entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each option granted under this Plan shall be evidenced by a written agreement in
such form as the Board or
Committee shall from time to time approve, which Agreements shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions and such additional terms and conditions as may be determined by the
Board or Committee: 

        1.     Date
of Payment. The option constituting any Option Payment shall be granted automatically on the Grant Date. 

        2.     Number
of Shares Subject to Option. The number of shares to be subject to any option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be an amount necessary to make such option equal
in value, using a modified Black-Scholes option valuation model, to that portion of the Annual Retainer that the Non-Employee Director elected to receive in the form of an option. The
value of the option will be calculated by assuming that the value of an option to purchase one share of Common Stock equals the product of (i) a fraction determined by dividing 1 by the
Multiplier, as defined below, and (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the Grant Date. 

        The
number of shares represented by an option granted pursuant to the Plan shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares determined in Section VII.B.2 above by a
multiplier determined using a modified Black-Scholes option valuation method (the "Multiplier"). The Board or the Committee shall determine the Multiplier prior to the beginning of the Plan Year by
considering the following factors: (i) the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date the Multiplier is determined; (ii) the average length of time that Company stock options are
held by optionees prior to exercise; (iii) the risk-free rate of return based on the term determined in (ii) above and U.S. government securities rates; (iv) the
annual dividend yield for the Common Stock; and (v) the volatility of the Common Stock over the previous ten-year period. For the Plan Year commencing March 1, 1997, the
Board or the Committee shall calculate the Multiplier by March 1, 1997. The number of 

shares
to be subject to the option shall be equal to the largest number of whole shares determined as follows: 

	

 	

 	

 
	75% or more, if applicable, of Annual Retainer
 Fair Market Value on the Grant Date	  

× Multiplier	  

=  Number of Shares

        3.     Price
of Options. The exercise price of the option will be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. 

        4.     Exercise
of Options. Options may be exercised only by written notice to the Company at its head office accompanied by payment in cash of the full consideration for the
shares as to which they are exercised. 

        5.     Period
of Option. The Committee shall have the discretion to determine the exercisability of Shares subject to the option; provided, however, that no option shall be
exercisable after the expiration of ten (10) years from the date upon which such option is granted. If the Committee does not expressly exercise its discretion to change the exercisability of
the options for a Plan Year, then the exercisability of such options shall be the same as the last Plan Year in which the Committee expressly exercised its discretion. 

        6.     Exercise
by Representative Following Death of Director. A Non-Employee Director, by written notice to the Company, may designate one or more persons (and from
time to time change such designation) including his legal representative, who, by reason of his death, shall acquire the right to exercise all or a portion of the option. If the person or persons so
designated wish to exercise any portion of the option, they must do so within the term of the option as provided in Section VII.C.5. Any exercise by a representative shall be subject to the
provisions of this Plan. 

        7.     Options
Nontransferable. Each option granted under the Plan by its terms shall not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, or by the laws of descent and
distribution, and shall be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by him. No option or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the optionee during his
lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process. 

        D.    Cash Payment    

        Each
Cash Payment shall be made in four equal installments during the Plan Year. 

        E.    Form of Issuance of Shares    

        Shares
issued under the Plan shall be in either book entry form or in certificate form pursuant to the instructions given by the Non-Employee Director to the Company's
transfer agent. 

        F.    Transferability    

        In
the event of a Non-Employee Director's death, all of such person's rights to receive any accrued but unpaid Common Stock Payment or Option Payment will transfer to the
maximum extent permitted by law to such person's beneficiary. Each Non-Employee Director may name, from time to time, any beneficiary or beneficiaries (which may be named contingently or
successively) as his beneficiary for purposes of this Plan. Each designation shall be on a form prescribed by the Committee, will be effective only when delivered to the Company and when effective
will revoke all prior designations by the Non-Employee Director. If a Non-Employee Director dies with no such beneficiary designation in effect, such person's beneficiary shall
be his estate and such person's payments will be transferable by will or pursuant to laws of descent and distribution applicable to such person. 

        G.    Termination    

        Any
member of the Board who terminates service prior to the end of the Plan Year may have his Annual Retainer prorated, including a forfeiture of options, stock or cash payment, if any,
as the Board or the Committee determines in its discretion. 

PART 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS 

VIII.    Assignments  

        The rights and benefits under this Plan may not be assigned except for the designation of a beneficiary as provided in Section VII. 

IX.    Limitation of Rights  

        No Right to Continue as a Director. Neither the Plan, nor the issuance of shares of Common Stock nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan, shall constitute
or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company will retain a director for any period of time, or at any particular rate of compensation. 

        No
Stockholders' Rights for Options. An optionee shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by his options until the date of the issuance to him of a stock
certificate therefor or the making of a book entry with the Company's transfer agent, and no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such
certificate is issued. 

X.    Changes in Present Stock  

        In the event of any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the corporate structure or
capitalization affecting the Company's present Common Stock, at the time of such event the Board or the Committee shall make appropriate adjustments to the number (including the aggregate numbers
specified in Section IV) and kind of shares to be issued under the Plan and the price of any Stock Option or Common Stock Payment. 

XI.    Amendment of the Plan  

        The Board shall have the right to amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan at any time for any purpose; provided, that following the approval of the Plan by
the Company's shareholders, the Company will seek shareholder approval for any change to the extent required by applicable law, regulation or rule. 

XII.    Definitions  

        "Annual Retainer" shall mean the amount to which a Non-Employee Director will be entitled to receive for serving as a director in a relevant Plan
Year, but shall not include reimbursement for expenses, fees associated with service on any committee of the Board or fees with respect to any other services to be provided to the Company. 

        "Fair
Market Value" shall be the mean of the highest and lowest quoted selling prices for the Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape on the date in
question, or if no sales of such stock were made on that date, the mean of the highest and lowest prices of the Common Stock on the next preceding day on which sales were made. 

        "Plan
Year" shall mean the year beginning the day after the Company's annual meeting and ending on the day of the Company's next annual meeting, as the case may be, for any relevant
year. 

XIII.    Compliance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act  

        It is the Company's intent that the Plan comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3. If any provision of this Plan is found not to be in compliance
with such rule and regulations, the provision shall be deemed null and void, and the remaining provisions of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect. All transactions under this Plan shall be
executed in accordance with the requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and regulations promulgated thereunder. The Board or the Committee may, in its sole discretion, modify the terms
and conditions of this Plan in response to and consistent with any changes in applicable law, rule or regulation. 

XIV.    Notice  

        Any written notice to the Company required by any of the provisions of this Plan shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company and shall become effective
when it is received. 

XV.    Governing Law  

        This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the State of Delaware and construed accordingly.
