 Each Non-Employee Director shall be granted Options, subject to the following
terms and conditions: 
  
 8.1 TIME OF GRANT. On the date of the
1996 Annual Meeting of shareholders of the Company and, thereafter, on the date of each annual meeting of shareholders of the Company through 1998 each person who is a Non-Employee Director immediately after such meeting of shareholders shall be

Meeting at a time other than at any other annual meeting of shareholders who becomes a Non-Employee Director, upon the date of such election, shall be granted an Option to purchase a number of Shares determined by multiplying the number set forth in

denominator of which shall be 365. 
  
 8.2 PURCHASE PRICE. The
purchase price per Share under each Option granted pursuant to this Article shall be 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Option Grant Date. 
  
 8.3 OPTION WAITING PERIOD AND EXERCISE DATES. The Shares subject to an Option may be purchased commencing on the January 1 next following the annual
meeting of shareholders (the “Waiting Period”) as follows: 
  
 33% of such Shares commencing at the end of the Waiting Period; 
  
 33% of such Shares commencing on the first day of the first year following the Waiting Period; and 
  
 34% of such Shares commencing on the first day of the second
year following the Waiting Period. 
  
 Subject to Article IX, an
Option may be exercised until the end of the Exercise Period. An Option, or portion thereof, may be exercised in whole or in part only with respect to whole Shares. 
  
 To the extent that an Option is not exercised when it becomes initially exercisable, it shall not expire but shall be
carried forward and shall be exercisable until the expiration of the Exercise Period. Partial exercise will be permitted from time to time within the percentage limitation described above provided that no partial exercise may be for less than twenty
Shares. 
  
 Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the
Waiting Period shall terminate and all outstanding Options shall become immediately fully exercisable pursuant to the other terms and conditions of the Option until the expiration of the Exercise Period. 
  
 8.4 METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. The Options may be exercised from time to
time by written notice to the Company, which shall state the election to exercise the Options and the number of shares with respect to which the Options are being exercised, and shall be signed by the person exercising the Options. Such notice must
be accompanied by a check payable to the Company in payment of the full purchase price. After receipt of such notice, the Company will advise the person exercising the option of the amount of withholding tax which must be paid under U.S. Federal,
and where applicable, U.S., state and local law resulting from such exercise. Upon receipt of payment of the purchase price and the withholding tax the Company shall, without transfer or issue tax to the person exercising the Options, issue a
certificate or certificates for the number of shares covered by such notice of exercise.

 ARTICLE IX—TERMINATION OF DIRECTORSHIP 
  
 9.1 TERMINATION OF SERVICE. If an Optionee ceases to be a director of the
Company other than by reason of disability, retirement from service on the Board, or death, each Option held by such Optionee may thereafter be exercised by such Optionee (or such Optionee’s executor, administrator, guardian, legal
representative, beneficiary or similar person) solely to the extent that they were exercisable on the date of such termination and shall expire on the earlier of: (i) three months from the date of such termination or (ii) expiration of the
Exercise Period. Options which are not exercisable on the date the Optionee ceases to be a director of the Company shall terminate. 
  
 9.2 DISABILITY, RETIREMENT OR DEATH. If an Optionee ceases to be a director of the Company by reason of disability or retirement from service on the
Board, each Option held by such Optionee may thereafter be exercised by such Optionee in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII. If the Optionee dies following termination of service from the Board by reason of retirement or disability,
outstanding Options shall be exercisable to the extent that they were exercisable on the date of death by such Optionee’s executor, administrator, guardian, legal representative, beneficiary or similar person and shall expire on the earlier of:
one year following the date of death or expiration of the Exercise Period. If the Optionee ceases to be a director as a result of death after the expiration of the Waiting Period for an Option award, such Option shall be immediately vested and
exercisable by the Optionee’s legal representative at any time within one year of the Optionee’s death but in no event after the expiration of the Exercise Period. Options which are not exercisable on the date the Optionee ceases to be a
director of the Company in accordance with the foregoing shall terminate.

without the Optionee’s consent and, subject to Article XI, the number of Shares subject to an Option granted under Article VIII, the purchase price therefor, the date of grant of any such Option and the termination provisions relating to such
Option, shall not be amended more than once every six months, other than to comply with changes in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor law, or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or any
successor law, or the rules and regulations thereunder. 
  
 ARTICLE XI—ADJUSTMENT PROVISIONS 
  
 11.1 If
the Company shall at any time change the number of issued Shares without new consideration to the Company (such as by stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, exchange of shares, liquidation, combination or other change in
corporate structure affecting the Shares) or make a distribution of cash or property which has a substantial impact on the value of issued Shares, the total number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan and the number of Shares subject to
Options to be granted under Section 8.1 shall be appropriately adjusted and the number of Shares covered by each outstanding Option and the purchase price per Share under each outstanding Option shall be adjusted so that the aggregate
consideration payable to the Company and the value of each such Option shall not be changed. 
  
 11.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, and without affecting the number of Shares reserved or available hereunder, the Administrator shall authorize the issuance, continuation or assumption of
outstanding Options or provide for other equitable adjustments after changes in the Shares resulting from any merger, consolidation, sale of assets, acquisition of property or stock, recapitalization, reorganization or similar occurrence in which
the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation, upon such terms and conditions as it may deem necessary to preserve their rights under the Plan. 
  

 4 

 11.3 In the case of any sale of assets, merger, consolidation or combination of the Corporation with or
into another corporation other than a transaction in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation and which does not result in the outstanding Shares being converted into or exchanged for different securities, cash or other property,
or any combination thereof (an “Acquisition”), any Non-Employee Director who holds an outstanding Option shall have the right (subject to the provisions of the Plan and any limitation applicable to the Option) thereafter and during the
term of the Option, to receive upon exercise thereof the Acquisition Consideration (as defined below) receivable upon the Acquisition by a holder of the number of Shares which would have been obtained upon exercise of the Option or portion thereof,
as the case may be, immediately prior to the Acquisition. The term “Acquisition Consideration” shall mean the kind and amount of shares of the surviving or new corporation, cash, securities, evidence of indebtedness, other property or any
combination thereof receivable in respect of one Share of the Company upon consummation of an Acquisition. 
  
 ARTICLE XII—EFFECTIVE DATE 
  
 The Plan shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for adoption in accordance with the provisions of Section 505 of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York and, if adopted by a majority
of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon at the 1996 annual meeting of shareholders, shall become effective as of the date of adoption by shareholders. 
  
 ARTICLE XIII—MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS 
  
 13.1 GOVERNING LAW. The validity, construction and effect of the Plan and any actions taken or relating to the Plan shall be
determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and applicable Federal law. 
  
 13.2 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. The Plan shall be binding on all successors and permitted assigns of a Non-Employee Director, including, without limitation, the estate of such Non-Employee Director and the executor,
administrator or trustee of such estate, or any receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or representative of the Non-Employee Director’s creditors. 
  
 13.3 GENERAL RESTRICTION. Each Option shall be subject to the requirement that, if at any time the Administrator shall determine, in its sole discretion,
that the listing, registration or qualification of any Option under the Plan upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any government regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of,
or in connection with, the granting of such Options or the grant or settlement thereof, such Option may not be exercised or settled in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall have been effected or
obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Administrator. 
  
 13.4 FUTURE RIGHTS. No Non-Employee Director shall have any claim or rights to be granted an Option under the Plan, and no Non-Employee Director shall have any rights by reason of the grant of any Options under the Plan to continue as a
Director for any period of time, or at any particular rate of compensation. 
  
 13.5 RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER. A Non-Employee Director shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to shares covered by Options granted hereunder until the date of issuance of a stock certificate therefor, 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. 
  
 13.6 FRACTIONS OF SHARES. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of shares. Whenever under the terms of the Plan a fractional share would be
required to be issued the Optionee shall be paid in cash for such fractional share based upon Fair Market Value at the time of exercise of the Option.
