                employees" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code or who,
                in the
                Committee's judgment, are likely to be covered employees at any time
                during the applicable Performance Period, an Award other than an
                Option or
                a Stock Appreciation Right may be based only on performance factors
                that
                are compliant with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section
                1.162-27(e)(2). For this purpose, the factors listed in Section 4b
                shall
                be deemed to be compliant with the requirements of such Treasury
                Regulation.

                in
                the Committee's judgment, are not likely to be covered employees
                at any
                time during the applicable Performance Period, the performance goals
                established for the Performance Period may consist of any objective
                Company (including any division or operating unit thereof) or individual
                measures, whether or not listed in (b) above or whether or not compliant
                with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.162-27(e)(2),
                and
                the Committee may grant Awards without regard to the need for satisfaction
                of any performance goals whatsoever and/or without reference to any
                particular Performance Period.

      the
      Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, and the Committee may grant
      Awards subject only to the requirement of satisfying the applicable Vesting
      Period. Performance goals shall be subject to such other special rules and
      conditions as the Committee may establish at any time within the Determination
      Period.

                  in the
                  foregoing if, or at such time as, the Common Stock is or becomes
                  registered under Section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act
                  of 1934, as
                  amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any successor statute, the Plan shall be
                  administered in a manner consistent with Rule 16b-3 promulgated
                  thereunder, as it may be amended from time to time, or any successor
                  rules

                  to Rule
                  16b-3 or which are required in order for certain option transactions
                  to
                  qualify for exemption under Rule 16b-3 shall apply only to such
                  persons as
                  are required to file reports under Section 16 (a) of the Exchange
                  Act (a

                the unissued Common Stock covered by such Award shall again be available
                for the grant of Awards under the Plan. If an Award granted under
                the Plan
                shall expire or terminate for any reason without having been exercised
                in
                full, the unpurchased shares subject to such Award shall again be
                available for subsequent Awards under the Plan. Shares issued under
                the

            	a.	
              GENERAL.
                The Committee may grant options to purchase Common Stock (each, an
                "Option") and determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be
                covered
                by each Option, the exercise price of each Option and the conditions
                and
                limitations applicable to the exercise of each Option and the shares
                of
                Common Stock issued upon the exercise of each Option, including,
                but not
                limited to, vesting provisions and restrictions relating to applicable
                federal or state securities laws. Each Option will be evidenced by
                a Stock
                Option Agreement. 

            

    

    

    
      	
            	b.	
              INCENTIVE
                STOCK OPTIONS. An Option that the Committee intends to be an incentive
                stock option (an "Incentive Stock Option") as defined in Section
                422 of
                the Code, as amended, or any successor statute ("Section 422"), shall
                be
                granted only to an Employee and shall be subject to and shall be
                construed
                consistently with the requirements of Section 422 and regulations
                thereunder. The Committee, the Board and the Company shall have no
                liability if an Option or any part thereof that is intended to be
                an
                Incentive Stock Option does not qualify as such. An Option or any
                part
                thereof that does not qualify as an Incentive Stock Option is referred
                to
                herein as a "Nonstatutory Stock Option" or "Nonqualified Stock
                Option."

            	c.	
              DOLLAR
                LIMITATION. For so long as the Code shall so provide, Options granted
                to
                any Employee under the Plan (and any other incentive stock option
                plans of
                the Company) which are intended to qualify as Incentive Stock Options
                shall not qualify as Incentive Stock Options to the extent that such
                Options, in the aggregate, become exercisable for the first time
                in any
                one calendar year for shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair
                Market
                Value (as defined below and determined as of the respective date
                or dates
                of grant) of more than $100,000. The amount of Incentive Stock Options
                which exceed such $100,000 limitation shall be deemed to be Nonqualified
                Stock Options. For the purpose of this limitation, unless otherwise
                required by the Code or regulations of the Internal Revenue Service
                or
                determined by the Committee, Options shall be taken into account
                in the
                order granted, and the Committee may designate that portion of any
                Incentive Stock Option that shall be treated as Nonqualified Option
                in the
                event that the provisions of this paragraph apply to a portion of
                any
                Option. The designation described in the preceding sentence may be
                made at
                such time as the Committee considers appropriate, including after
                the
                issuance of the Option or at the time of its
                exercise.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	d.	
              EXERCISE
                PRICE. The Committee shall establish the exercise price (or determine
                the
                method by which the exercise price shall be determined) at the time
                each
                Option is granted and specify the exercise price in the applicable
                Stock
                Option Agreement; provided, however, in no event may the per share
                exercise price be less than the Fair Market Value (as defined below)
                of
                the Common Stock on the date of grant; and provided, further, however,
                that, except as may be required under Section 5c, the Committee may
                not
                reduce, directly or indirectly, at any time following the grant of
                the
                Option, the exercise price per share of Common Stock underlying the
                Option
                to a level below the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock
                on the
                date of grant. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to
                a
                Participant who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns stock
                representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all
                classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, then
                the
                exercise price shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value
                of the
                Common Stock on the date of grant. In the case of a grant of an Incentive
                Stock Option to any other Participant, the exercise price shall be
                no less
                than 100% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date
                of
                grant.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	e.	
              TERM
                OF OPTIONS. Each Option shall be exercisable at such times and subject
                to
                such terms and conditions as the Committee may specify in the applicable
                Stock Option Agreement; provided that the term of any Incentive Stock
                Option may not be more than ten (10) years from the date of grant.
                In the
                case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at
                the
                time of grant of such Option, owns stock representing more than ten
                percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the
                Company
                or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be no longer
                than five (5) years from the date of grant. The term of any Nonqualified
                Stock Option may not be more than ten (10) years from the date of
                grant.

              EXERCISE
                OF OPTION. Options may be exercised only by delivery to the Company
                of a

                payment in full as specified in Section 6g and the Stock Option Agreement

                by

                without
                the financial involvement of the Company) to deliver promptly to
                the
                Company sufficient funds to pay the exercise price, or delivery by
                the
                Participant to the Company of a copy of irrevocable and unconditional

                or
                dates on which all or any particular Options or Awards granted under
                the
                Plan may be exercised, or (ii) extend the dates during which all
                or any
                particular Options or Awards granted under the Plan may be exercised
                or
                vest.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	i.	
              DETERMINATION
                OF FAIR MARKET VALUE. If, at the time an Option is granted under
                the Plan,
                the Company's Common Stock is publicly traded under the Exchange
                Act,
                "Fair Market Value" shall mean (i) if the Common Stock is listed
                on any
                established stock exchange or a national market system, including
                without
                limitation the NASDAQ National Market or The NASDAQ Small Cap Market
                of
                The NASDAQ Stock Market, its Fair Market Value shall be the last
                reported
                sales price for such stock (on that date) or the closing bid, if
                no sales
                were reported as quoted on such exchange or system as reported in
                The Wall
                Street Journal or such other source as the Committee deems reliable;
                or
                (ii) the average of the closing bid and asked prices last quoted
                (on that
                date) by an established quotation service for over-the-counter securities,
                if the Common Stock is not reported on a national market system.
                In the
                absence of an established market for the Common Stock, the Fair Market
                Value thereof shall be determined in good faith by the Committee
                after
                taking into consideration all factors which it deems
                appropriate.

            	a.	
              GRANTS.
                The Committee may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares
                of
                Common Stock, subject to (i) restrictions on transfer as set forth
                in the
                applicable Award instrument and (ii) forfeiture unless and until
                all
                specified employment, vesting and/or performance conditions, as set
                forth
                in the applicable Award instrument, are met (such shares of Common
                Stock,
                "Restricted Compensation Shares," and each such Award, a "Restricted
                Compensation Share Award").

            

    

    

    
      	
            	b.	
              TERMS
                AND CONDITIONS. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions
                of
                any such Restricted Compensation Share Award. Any stock certificates
                issued in respect of a Restricted Compensation Share Award shall
                be
                registered in the name of the Participant and, unless otherwise determined
                by the Committee, deposited by the Participant, together with a stock
                power endorsed in blank, with the Company (or its designee). Restricted
                Compensation Share Awards shall be issued for no cash consideration
                or
                such minimum consideration as may be required by law. After the expiration
                of the applicable restriction periods, the Company (or such designee)
                shall deliver the certificates no longer subject to such restrictions
                to
                the Participant or, if the Participant has died, to the Designated
                Beneficiary.

            	a.	
              GRANT.
                The Committee may grant Awards entitling recipients to the right
                to
                acquire, at some time in the future, Restricted Compensation Shares,
                subject to such other conditions as the Committee may prescribe in
                the
                applicable Award Agreement (each such Award, a "Restricted Compensation
                Share Unit Award"). Restricted Compensation Share Unit Awards are
                subject
                to forfeiture unless and until all specified Award conditions are
                met, as
                determined by the Committee and set forth in the particular Agreements
                applicable to such Awards.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	b.	
              TERMS
                AND CONDITIONS. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions
                of
                any such Restricted Compensation Share Unit Award. No stock certificates
                shall be issued in respect of a Restricted Compensation Share Unit
                Award
                at the time of grant. However, upon exercise, the Company (or the
                Company's counsel as its designee) shall deliver stock certificates
                to the
                Participant or, if the Participant has died, to the Designated
                Beneficiary.

    9. STOCK
      APPRECIATION RIGHT AWARDS.

    

    
      	
            	a.	
              GRANT.
                The Committee may grant Awards entitling recipients to the right
                to
                acquire, at some time in the future, upon exercise, one or more shares
                of
                Common Stock, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the excess
                of (A)
                the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise
                over (B) the exercise price per share set forth in the applicable
                Award
                Agreement and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock with respect
                to
                which the right is exercised, subject to such other conditions as
                the
                Committee may prescribe in the applicable Award Agreement (each,
                a "Stock
                Appreciation Right Award"). Stock Appreciation Right Awards are subject
                to
                forfeiture unless and until all specified Award conditions are met,
                as
                determined by the Committee and set forth in the particular Agreements
                applicable to such Awards.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	b.	
              TERMS.
                The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of any such
                Stock
                Appreciation Right Award. A Stock Appreciation Right Award may be
                issued
                either in tandem with, or by reference to, an Option (each such Award,
                a
                "Tandem SAR") or not so issued (each such Award, a "Free-Standing
                SAR").
                It is the intention of the Committee that the exercise of Tandem
                SARs
                assist the recipient of an Option with the ability to pay applicable
                taxes
                with respect to the exercise of an Option and the SARs themselves.
                The
                exercise price of a Tandem SAR shall be the exercise price per share
                of
                the related Option. The exercise price of a Free-Standing SAR shall
                be
                determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, however,
                that exercise price shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market
                Value
                of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant; and provided, further,
                however, that, except as may be required under Section 5c, the Committee
                may not reduce, at any time following the grant of the Free-Standing
                SAR,
                the exercise price per share of Common Stock underlying such Free-Standing
                SAR to a level below the Fair Market Value per share of Common Stock
                on
                the date of grant. No stock certificates shall be issued in respect
                of a
                Stock Appreciation Right Award, and such Award shall be reflected
                merely
                in book entry form on the Company's books and records. A Stock
                Appreciation Right Award may be settled only in
                cash.

      SHARE AWARDS

    

    
      	
            	a.	
              GRANTS.
                The Committee may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire shares
                of
                Common Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals within
                a
                specified Performance Period, which shares may or may not be Restricted
                Compensation Shares, subject to such other conditions as the Committee
                may
                prescribe in the applicable Award (each such share of Common Stock,
                a
                "Performance Share," and each such Award, a "Performance Share Award").
                Performance Share Awards subject to forfeiture unless and until all
                specified Award conditions are met, as determined by the Committee
                and set
                forth in the particular Agreements applicable to such
                Awards.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	b.	
              TERMS
                AND CONDITIONS. The Committee shall determine the terms and conditions
                of
                any such Performance Share Award. Unless otherwise determined by
                the
                Committee, the payment value of the Performance Share Awards shall
                be
                based upon the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock underlying such
                Award
                on the date the Performance Shares are earned or on the date the
                Committee
                determines that the Performance Shares have been earned. The Committee
                shall establish performance goals for each Performance Period for
                the
                purpose of determining the extent to which Performance Shares awarded
                for
                such cycle are earned. As soon as administratively practicable after
                the
                end of a performance cycle, the Committee shall determine the number
                of
                Performance Shares which have been earned in relation to the established
                performance goals. No stock certificates shall be issued in respect
                of
                Performance Share Award at the time of grant unless the Performance
                Shares
                are Restricted Compensation Shares, in which case the rules of Section
                9b
                with respect to the issuance of certificates shall apply. However,
                upon
                the lapse of all applicable restrictions, the Company (or the Company's
                counsel as its designee) shall deliver stock certificates to the
                Participant or, if the Participant has died, to the Designated
                Beneficiary.

              	a.	
                GRANTS.
                  The Committee may grant Awards entitling recipients to acquire
                  shares of
                  Common Stock, subject to such terms, restrictions, conditions,
                  performance
                  criteria, vesting requirements and payment needs, if any, as the
                  Committee
                  shall determine in the applicable Award Agreement (each such Award,
                  an
                  "Award Share."). Award Shares are subject to forfeiture unless
                  and until
                  all specified Award conditions are met, as determined by the Committee
                  and
                  set forth in the particular Agreements applicable to such
                  Awards.

                of
                any such Award Share. Award Shares shall be issued for no cash
                consideration or such minimum consideration as may be required by
                law.
                When paid, the Company (or the Company's counsel as its designee)
                shall
                deliver stock certificates for the Award Shares to the Participant
                or, if
                the Participant has died, to the Designated
                Beneficiary.

            

    

    

    12. OTHER
      STOCK-BASED AWARDS. The Committee shall have the right to grant other Awards
      based upon the Common Stock having such terms and conditions as the Committee
      may determine, including, without limitation, the grant of securities
      convertible into Common Stock and the grant of phantom stock awards or stock
      units.

    

    13. GENERAL
      PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS.

    

    
      	
            	a.	
              TRANSFERABILITY
                OF AWARDS. Except as the Committee may otherwise determine or provide
                in
                an Award, Awards shall not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged
                or
                otherwise encumbered by the person to whom they are granted, either
                voluntarily or by operation of law, except by will or the laws of
                descent
                and distribution, and, during the life of the Participant, shall
                be
                exercisable only by the Participant; provided, however, except as
                the
                Committee may otherwise determine or provide in an Award, that
                Nonstatutory Options and Restricted Compensation Share Awards may
                be
                transferred pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order (as
                defined
                in ERISA) or to a grantor-retained annuity trust or a similar
                estate-planning vehicle in which the trust is bound by all provisions
                of
                the Stock Option Agreement and Restricted Compensation Share Award,
                which
                are applicable to the Participant. References to a Participant, to
                the
                extent relevant in the context, shall include references to authorized
                transferees.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	b.	
              DOCUMENTATION.
                Each Award under the Plan shall be evidenced by a written instrument
                (each, an "Agreement") in such form as the Committee shall determine
                or as
                executed by an officer of the Company pursuant to authority delegated
                by
                the Committee or Board. Each Award Agreement may contain terms and
                conditions in addition to those set forth in the Plan, provided that
                such
                terms and conditions do not contravene the provisions of the Plan
                or
                applicable law.

              COMMITTEE
                DISCRETION. The terms of each type of Award need not be identical,

              ADDITIONAL
                AWARD PROVISIONS. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, include
                additional provisions in any Stock Option Agreement, Restricted
                Compensation Share Award or other Award granted under the Plan, including
                without limitation restrictions on transfer, commitments to pay cash
                bonuses, to make, arrange for or guaranty loans (subject to compliance
                with Section 13m) or to transfer other property to Participants upon
                exercise of Awards, or transfer other property to Participants upon
                exercise of Awards, or such other provisions as shall be determined
                by the
                Committee; provided that such additional provisions shall not be
                inconsistent with any other term or condition of the Plan or applicable
                law.

              TERMINATION
                OF STATUS. The Committee shall determine the effect on an Award of
                the
                Disability, death, Retirement, authorized leave of absence or other
                change
                in the employment or other status of a Participant and the extent
                to
                which, and the period during which, the Participant, or the Participant's
                legal representative, conservator, guardian or Designated Beneficiary,
                may
                exercise rights under the Award, subject to applicable law and the
                provisions of the Code related to Incentive Stock Options. Such
                determination shall be reflected in the applicable Award
                Agreement.

              CHANGE
                IN CONTROL OF THE COMPANY. Unless otherwise expressly provided in
                the
                applicable Agreement, in connection with the occurrence of a Change
                in
                Control, the Committee shall, in its sole discretion as to any outstanding
                Award (including any portion thereof; on the same basis or on different
                bases, as the Committee shall specify), take one or any combination
                of the
                following actions:

            

    

    

    
      	 	 	
              i.

            	
              make
                appropriate provision for the continuation of such Award by the Company
                or
                the assumption of such Award by the surviving or acquiring entity
                and by
                substituting on an equitable basis for the shares then subject to
                such
                Award either (x) the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding
                shares of Common Stock in connection with the Change in Control,
                (y)
                shares of stock of the surviving or acquiring corporation or (z)
                such
                other securities as the Committee deems appropriate, the fair market
                value
                of which (as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion)
                shall not
                materially differ from the fair market value of the shares of Common
                Stock
                subject to such Award immediately preceding the Change in
                Control;

              permit
                the exchange of such Award for the right to participate in any stock
                option or other employee benefit plan of any successor
                corporation;

            

    

    

    
      	 	 	
              iv.

            	
              provide
                for the repurchase of the Award for an amount equal to the difference
                of
                (x) the consideration received per share for the securities underlying
                the
                Award in the Change in Control minus (y) the per share exercise price
                of
                such securities. Such amount shall be payable in cash or the property
                payable in respect of such securities in connection with the Change
                in
                Control. The value of any such property shall be determined by the
                Committee in its discretion; or

            

    

    

    
      	 	 	
              v.

            	
              provide
                for the termination of such Award immediately prior to the consummation
                of
                the Change in Control; provided that no such termination will be
                effective
                if the Change in Control is not
                consummated.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	g.	
              DISSOLUTION
                OR LIQUIDATION. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation
                of
                the Company, the Committee shall notify each Participant as soon
                as
                practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction.
                The
                Committee in its sole discretion may provide for a Participant to
                have the
                right to exercise his or her Award until fifteen (15) days prior
                to such
                transaction as to all of the shares of Common Stock covered by the
                Option
                or Award, including shares as to which the Option or Award would
                not
                otherwise be exercisable, which exercise may in the sole discretion
                of the
                Committee, be made subject to and conditioned upon the consummation
                of
                such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously
                exercised, an Award will terminate upon the consummation of such
                proposed
                action.

              ASSUMPTION
                OF AWARDS UPON CERTAIN EVENTS. In connection with a merger or
                consolidation of an entity with the Company or the acquisition by
                the
                Company of property or stock of an entity, the Committee may grant
                Awards
                under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock-based awards issued
                by
                such entity or an affiliate thereof. The substitute Awards shall
                be
                granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers
                appropriate in the circumstances.

                PARACHUTE
                  PAYMENTS AND PARACHUTE AWARDS. Notwithstanding the provisions of
                  Section
                  13f, but subject to any contrary provisions in a Participant's
                  employment
                  agreement with the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary thereof,
                  if, in
                  connection with a Change in Control, a tax under Section 4999 of
                  the Code
                  would be imposed on the Participant (after taking into account
                  the
                  exceptions set forth in Sections 280G(b)(4) and 280G(b)(5) of the
                  Code),
                  then the Company shall pay the Participant an amount equal to the
                  tax
                  under Section 4999.

                Award including, but not limited to, substituting therefor another
                Award
                of the same or a different type, changing the date of exercise or
                realization, and converting an Incentive Stock Option to a Nonstatutory
                Stock Option, provided that the Participant's consent to such action
                shall
                be required unless the Committee determines that the action, taking
                into
                account any related action, would not materially and adversely affect
                the
                Participant.

              CONDITIONS
                ON DELIVERY OF STOCK. The Company will not be obligated to deliver

                shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan or to remove restrictions
                from
                shares previously delivered under the Plan until (i) all conditions
                of the
                Award have been met or removed to the satisfaction of the Company,
                (ii) in
                the opinion of the Company's counsel, all other legal matters in
                connection with the issuance and delivery of such shares have been
                satisfied including any applicable securities laws and any applicable
                stock exchange or stock market rules and regulations, and (iii) the
                Participant has executed and delivered to the Company such representations
                or agreements as the Company may consider appropriate to satisfy
                the
                requirements of any applicable laws, rules or regulations. Notwithstanding
                any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in no event may an Option
                or
                Stock Appreciation Right be settled in a form other than
                cash.

                The Committee may at any time provide that any Options shall become
                immediately exercisable in full or in part, that any Restricted
                Compensation Share Awards shall be free of some or all restrictions,
                or
                that any other stock-based Awards may become exercisable in full
                or in
                part or free of some or all restrictions or conditions, or otherwise
                realizable in full or in part, as the case may be, despite the fact
                that
                the foregoing actions may (i) cause the application of Sections 280G
                and
                4999 of the Code if a change in control of the Company occurs, or
                (ii)
                disqualify all or part of the Option as an Incentive Stock
                Option.

                the Committee, in accordance with any applicable rules or regulations
                promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC")
                and/or
                the United States Department of Labor, shall (i) notify in a timely
                manner
                each Participant who is a Reporting Person of any transaction occurring

                SEC Form
                4 or 5 as applicable, each as revised pursuant to changes to Exchange
                Act
                Rule 16a-3, 16a-6 or 16a-8, as applicable, made by Sarbanes-Oxley
                Act of

    14. TAXES/CODE
      409A. The Company shall have the right to deduct from payments of any kind
      otherwise due to the optionee or recipient of an Award any federal, state or
      local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to any
      shares issued upon exercise of Options or other Awards under the Plan, the
      purchase of shares subject to the Award or the grant of Common Stock free and
      clear of any restrictions thereon. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
      contrary, to the extent a delay in payment or other modification to this Plan
      or
      an Agreement is required as determined in the opinion of Company's tax advisors
      to prevent the imposition of an additional tax to the recipient under Section
      409A of the Code, then such payment shall not be made until the first date
      on
      which such payment is permitted or other modifications shall be made to comply
      with Section 409A and interpretive guidance issued thereunder.

    

    15. MISCELLANEOUS.

    

    
      	
            	a.	
              NO
                RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER STATUS. No person shall have any claim
                or
                right to be granted an Award, and the grant of an Award shall not
                be
                construed as giving a Participant the right to continued employment
                or any
                other relationship with the Company. The Company expressly reserves
                the
                right at any time to dismiss or otherwise terminate its relationship
                with
                a Participant free from any liability or claim under the
                Plan.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	b.	
              NO
                RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER. Subject to the provisions of the applicable
                Award,
                no Participant or Designated Beneficiary shall have any rights as
                a
                stockholder with respect to any shares of Common Stock to be distributed
                with respect to an Award until becoming the record holder
                thereof.

            

    

    

    
      	
            	c.	
              EFFECTIVE
                DATE AND TERM OF PLAN. The Plan shall become effective on the later
                of the
                date on which it is adopted by the Committee or the date on which
                it is
                approved by the Company's stockholders (the "Effective Date). No
                Awards
                shall be granted under the Plan after the completion of ten years
                from the
                Effective Date, but Awards previously granted may extend beyond that
                date.
                Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the
                Company
                has executed a definitive acquisition or similar agreement pursuant
                to
                which a Change in Control will occur upon the closing of the
                transaction(s) contemplated thereby, the Committee, in its sole

              AMENDMENT
                OF PLAN. The Committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or
                any
                portion thereof at any time; provided, however, that no amendment
                shall be
                made without stockholder approval if such approval is necessary to
                comply
                with any applicable law, rules or
                regulations.

                TRUST FUND OR ERISA PLAN CREATED. Neither the Plan nor any Award
                granted
                thereunder shall create or be construed as creating a trust or separate
                fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company
                and a
                Participant, Designated Beneficiary or any other person. To the extent
                that any Participant, Designated Beneficiary or any other person
                acquires
                any Award under the Plan, his or her rights with respect thereto
                shall be
                not greater than the rights of any unsecured general creditor of
                the
                Company. The Plan is not intended to constitute any type of plan,
                fund or
                program providing retirement income or resulting in the deferral
                of income
                for periods extending to the termination of employment of beyond,
                and
                ERISA shall not apply to the Plan. No provision of this Plan shall
                be
                construed as subjecting any portion of the Plan to any requirements
                of
                ERISA.

              DESIGNATION
                OF BENEFICIARY. A Participant may file with the Committee a written
                designation of one or more persons as such Participant's Designated
                Beneficiary or Designated Beneficiaries. Each beneficiary designation
                shall become effective only when filed in writing with the Committee

    A. Termination
      by the Company with Cause. The Company may terminate Employee’s employment with
“Cause” as hereafter defined in this section upon written notice. “Cause” shall
      mean Employee’s: (i) conviction of, or indictment for, criminal negligence or
      criminal acts in the work place or conviction of a felony, (ii) violation of
      the
      Company’s material policies or procedures that have been made known to Employee,
      or violation by Employee on Company premises of any law or material regulation,
      (iii) material breach or violation of this Agreement, (iv) commission of any
      act
      of theft, fraud, dishonesty, or falsification of any employment or Company
      records, (v) appropriation of a business opportunity or transaction in
      contravention of Employee’s duties to the Company, (vi) any improper action by
      Employee which has a detrimental effect on the Company’s reputation or business,
      (vii) failure to perform the duties assigned or requested by the Board of
      Directors, or (viii) gross negligence, incompetence or willful misconduct by
      Employee in the performance of Employee’s duties. In the event that Employee is
      terminated with “Cause,” Employee shall only be entitled to the payment of
      Employee’s then-current accrued, unpaid Compensation and accrued unused
      vacation, each prorated through the date of termination. In the case of an
      event
      of Cause under clauses (ii), (iii), (vi) or (vii), with the exception of any
      such events of Cause arising from breach of any of the provisions of Sections
      (i), (iv), (v) or (viii) hereof, Employee shall be provided the opportunity
      to
      cure such event within a reasonable time following written notice thereof and
      not to exceed thirty (30) days following such notice (the “Cure Period”), and if
      the Employee desires to effect a cure to same then Employee shall provide the
      Company with written notice within five business days following receipt of
      notice of Cause of such desire, and in the absence of such cure by Employee
      within the Cure Period Employee shall be deemed terminated upon the expiration
      of the Cure Period unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing. However,
      notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee shall not be provided the opportunity
      pursuant to the foregoing sentence to cure Employee’s repeated or persistent
      actions, failures or omissions occurring within a three month period which
      constitute Cause (in the absence of cure) hereunder and which would otherwise
      be
      curable but for such reoccurrence. 

    

    B. Termination
      by Employee for Good Reason. Employee may terminate his employment hereunder
      for
      Good Reason. “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a material diminution of Employee’s
      employment duties without Employee’s consent, which consent shall not be
      unreasonably withheld; or (ii) a material and persistent breach by the Company
      of Section 4 hereof. Employee shall provide the Company thirty (30) days prior
      written notice of his intention to resign for Good Reason which states his
      intention to resign and sets forth the reasons therefor, and any resignation
      without delivery of such notice shall be considered to be a resignation for
      other than Good Reason. In the event that Employee terminates his employment
      pursuant to this section, Employee shall be entitled to (i) payment of
      Employee’s then-current accrued, unpaid Compensation and accrued, unused
      vacation, each prorated through the date of termination, and (ii) an amount
      in
      respect of individual severance pay equivalent to 90 days of the then current
      full year compensation. During the thirty (30) day period following the delivery
      of such notice, Employee shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in locating
      and training Employee’s successor and arranging for an orderly transference of
      his responsibilities. 

    

    C. Termination
      Due to Employee’s Death or Disability. In the event that this Agreement and
      Employee’s employment is terminated due to Employee’s death or disability,
      Employee (or Employee’s legal representatives) shall be paid Employee’s
      then-current unpaid compensation and accrued, unused vacation, each prorated
      through the date of termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“disability” shall mean the mental or physical inability to perform
      satisfactorily the essential functions of Employee’s full-time duties, with or
      without a reasonable accommodation, as determined by a physician mutually agreed
      by the Company and Employee, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld;
      provided, however, that any disability which continues (subject to any
      requirements of applicable law) for one hundred and twenty (120) days (whether
      or not consecutive) in any twenty-four (24) month period shall be deemed a
      total
      and permanent disability.

    Employee
      hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Company that:

    

    A. Employee
      is not subject to any agreement, including any confidentiality,
      non-solicitation, non competition, or invention assignment, agreement or other
      restrictive covenant, whether oral or written, which would in any way restrict
      or prohibit Employee’s ability to execute this Agreement, perform Employee’s
      obligations under this Agreement or otherwise comply with the terms of this
      Agreement;

    

    B. Employee
      has respected and at all times in the future will continue to respect the rights
      of Employee’s previous employer(s) in trade secret and confidential information
      in accordance with applicable agreements, if any, and applicable
      law;

    

    C. Employee
      has left with Employee’s previous employers all proprietary documents, computer
      software programs, computer discs, customer lists, and any other material which
      is proprietary to Employee’s previous employer(s), has not taken copies of any
      such materials and will not remove or cause to be removed any such material
      or
      copies of any such material from such previous employer(s) in violation of
      Employee’s agreements, if any, with previous employers;

    

    D. Employee
      has not done, and hereafter will not do anything, by contract or otherwise,
      which would impair the rights of the Company in and to any Company Developments
      (as defined below), the Company Materials (as defined below), or the ability
      of
      Employee to perform Employee's obligations under this Agreement;

    

    E. Employee
      shall not, during the term of his employment with the Company, do anything
      or
      authorize any other person or entity to do anything contrary to the material
      rights and interests of the Company in contravention of Employee’s obligations
      under this Agreement; 

    

    F. The
      information Employee supplied to the Company in connection with Employee’s
      employment is true, correct, and complete; and

    

    G. So
      long
      as Employee remains employed by the Company, any and all business opportunities
      from whatever source which Employee may receive or otherwise become aware of
      in
      connection with his employment with the Company relating to the Business of
      the
      Company shall belong to the Company, and unless the Company specifically, after
      full disclosure by Employee of each and any such opportunity, waives its right
      in writing, the Company shall have the sole right to act upon any of such
      business opportunities as the Company deems advisable. 

    

    7. Work
      for Hire and Invention Assignment. 

    

    A.
       Employee
      agrees that any and all work performed hereunder and any resulting Developments
      shall be “work made for hire” within the meaning of the Copyright Act of 1976,
      as amended. Employee hereby assigns to the Company Employee’s entire right,
      title and interest in said Developments. Furthermore, Employee shall execute
      all
      instruments of assignment and any other documents requested by Company relating
      to the Company’s ownership of any and all Developments or to applications for
      patents, copyrights and trademarks and the enforcement and protection
      thereof.

    B. Employee
      shall mark all Developments with the Company’s copyright or other proprietary
      notice as directed by the Company and shall take all actions deemed necessary
      by
      the Company to protect the Company’s rights therein including, without
      limitation, the maintenance of such item in confidence to the same degree as
      required for Confidential Information (as herein defined) or as otherwise
      instructed by the Company. In the event that the Developments shall be deemed
      not to constitute works made for hire, or in the event that Employee should
      otherwise, by operation of law, be deemed to retain any rights (whether moral
      rights or otherwise) to any Developments, Employee agrees to assign to the
      Company, without further consideration, Employee’s entire right, title and
      interest therein.

    

    C.
       Assistance.
      Employee further agrees to reasonably assist the Company in every proper way
      (but at the Company’s expense) to obtain and from time to time enforce patents,
      copyrights, or other rights or registrations with respect to Developments in
      any
      and all countries, and to that end will execute all documents
      necessary:

    

    (i) to
      apply
      for, obtain and vest in the name of the Company alone (unless the Company
      otherwise directs) letters patent, copyrights, or other analogous protection
      in
      any country throughout the world and when so obtained or vested to renew and
      restore the same; 

    

    (ii) to
      defend
      any opposition proceedings in respect of such applications and any opposition
      proceedings or petitions or applications for revocation of such letters patent,
      copyright or other analogous protection; and 

    

    (iii) to
      cooperate with the Company (but at the Company’s expense) in any enforcement or
      infringement proceeding on such letters patent, copyright or other analogous
      protection.

    

    8. Confidential
      Information 

     

    A.
      Confidential
      Information.

    

    Employee
      acknowledges and agrees that:

    

    (i) During
      the course of Employee's employment with the Company, Employee will learn about,
      will help to develop and will develop, and will be entrusted in strict
      confidence with (1) confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets
      that are or will be owned by the Company and are not available to the general
      public or the Company’s competitors concerning the Company, including its sales,
      operations, financial condition, financial projections, profit margins,
      personnel matters (including the identity of the Company’s top-performing
      personnel, hiring criteria, and training techniques), intermediate and long-term
      business goals and strategic plans, promotional strategies and techniques,
      pricing and cost structure of services, customer identities, customer
      relationship histories, customer records, customer service matters, customer
      preferences, needs and idiosyncrasies, formal customers and prospects, identity
      of vendors and suppliers, special vendor and supplier pricing and delivery
      terms, computer programs and codes, research and development, specifications,
      algorithms, processes, formulas methods, technical data, know-how,
      complications, designs, drawings, photographs, other machine-readable records,
      business activity and other confidential aspects of the Company and its business
      and operations; (2) information which the Company will be required to keep
      confidential in accordance with confidentiality obligations to third parties;
      and (3) other matters and materials belonging to or relating to the internal
      affairs of the Company, including information recorded on any medium which
      gives
      it an opportunity to obtain an advantage over its competitors which do not
      know
      or use the same or by which the Company derives actual or potential value from
      such matter or material not generally being known to other persons or entities
      which might obtain economic value from its use or disclosure (all of the
      foregoing being hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Confidential
      Information");

    (ii) It
      is
      imperative that the Employee treat whatever information the Company wants to
      protect from disclosure as genuinely “Confidential,” i.e. restricting access by
      pass code, stamping hard copies “Confidential,” and restricting access thereto
      except by personnel, and the like;

    

    (iii) The
      Company has developed or purchased and will develop or purchase the Confidential
      Information at substantial expense in a market in which the Company faces
      intense competitive pressure, and the Company has kept and will keep secret
      the
      Confidential Information; and

    

    (iv) The
      Company has a legitimate interest in protecting the goodwill, customer
      information, customer relationships, and use of Employee’s skills by means of
      enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth in this
      Agreement.

    

    B.
      Confidentiality
      Covenants.

    

    In
      consideration of Employee’s employment and compensation and other consideration
      described herein, Employee acknowledges and agrees that:

    

    (i) To
      the
      extent that Employee developed or had access to Confidential Information before
      entering into this Agreement, Employee represents and warrants that he has
      not
      used for his own benefit or for the benefit of any other person or entity,
      and
      he has not disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other person or entity,
      other than the Company, any of the Confidential Information. Unless and until
      the Confidential Information becomes publicly known through legitimate means
      not
      involving an act or omission by Employee or the Company’s other employees or
      independent contractors:

    

    (A) The
      Confidential Information is, and at all times hereafter shall remain, the sole
      property of the Company; 

    

    (B) Employee
      shall use his best efforts and the diligence to guard and protect the
      Confidential Information from disclosure to any competitor, customer or supplier
      of the Company or any other person, firm, corporation, or other
      entity;

    

    (C) Unless
      the Company gives Employee prior express written permission, during his
      employment and thereafter, Employee shall not use for his own benefit, or
      divulge to or use for the benefit of any competitor or customer or any other
      person, firm, corporation, or other entity, any of the Confidential Information
      which Employee may obtain, learn about, develop, or be entrusted with as a
      result of Employee's employment by the Company; and

    

    (D) Except
      in
      the ordinary course of the Company's Business, Employee shall not seek or accept
      any Confidential Information from any former, present, or future contractor
      or
      employee of the Company.

    

    (ii) Employee
      also acknowledges and agrees that all documentary and tangible Confidential
      Information including, without limitation, such Confidential Information as
      Employee has committed to memory, is supplied or made available by the Company
      to Employee solely to assist him in performing his duties under this Agreement.
      Employee further agrees that upon termination of his employment with the Company
      for any reason:

    (A) Employee
      shall not remove from Company property, and shall immediately return to the
      Company, all documentary or tangible Confidential Information in his possession,
      custody, or control and not make or keep any copies, notes, abstracts,
      summaries, tapes or other record of any type of Confidential Information; and
      

    

    (B) Employee
      shall immediately return to the Company any and all other Company property
      belonging to or within the custody or possession of the Company or as to which
      the Company has the right of possession, in his possession, custody or control,
      including, without limitation, all internal manuals, customer or client work
      papers, data, software, and other written materials (and all copies thereof)
      prepared for internal use by the Company or used in connection with the Business
      or operations of the Company, any and all keys, security cards, passes, credit
      cards, and marketing literature. 

    

    9. Return
      of Material. 

    

    Upon
      termination of employment with Company, and regardless of the reason for such
      termination, or upon the Company’s request, Employee will leave with, or
      promptly return to Company and its customers all documents, records, notebooks,
      magnetic tapes, disks, computers, network hardware, and other materials,
      including all copies in his possession or control which contain Confidential
      Information of Company and its customers and prospects or any other information
      concerning Company and its customers, prospects, products, services or
      customers, whether prepared by the Employee or others, including, without
      limitation, Company Materials and Developments.

    

    10.
      Covenants Not To Compete and Anti-Piracy.

    

    Employee
      acknowledges that the services rendered by Employee on behalf of the Company
      are
      of a special and unique character, that Employee is being provided a substantial
      equity stake in the Company, and that during the performance of such services,
      Employee will acquire, because of the special relationship among the Company,
      Employee and the Company’s customers and clients, valuable information, trade
      secrets, customer lists, proprietary information, financial information and
      unique skills. Accordingly, Employee covenants, in consideration of Employee’s
      employment and compensation and other consideration described above, that while
      Employee is employed by the Company and for a period of six (6) months after
      the
      termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason, Employee
      shall not without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or
      indirectly, either on Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person
      work as an independent contractor for or be employed by another company, person,
      firm, corporation, proprietorship, partnership or other entity in competition
      with the Company which is engaged primarily in the Business. Employee
      acknowledges that in the event that Employee’s employment with the Company
      terminates, Employee will be able to earn a livelihood without violating the
      foregoing covenants.

    

    11.
      Non-Solicitation of Customers.

    

    In
      consideration of his employment and compensation and other consideration
      described herein, Employee agrees that for a period of twenty four (24) months
      immediately following the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company,
      Employee will not, either for himself or on behalf of any other person or
      entity, directly or indirectly, solicit, attempt or offer to provide services
      or
      provide services, competitive with those services rendered or products sold
      by
      or on behalf of the Company during the term of this Agreement, to any past
      or
      present client of the Company for whom the Company has performed services or
      to
      whom the Company has sold products during the one (1) year period prior to
      the
      termination of Employee’s employment.

    12. Non-Solicitation
      of Employees.

    

    In
      consideration of his employment and compensation and other consideration
      described herein, Employee agrees that Employee will not during both the term
      of
      this Agreement and the twelve (12) months following the termination of
      Employee's employment, without the written consent of the Company, for any
      reason, directly or indirectly, or by action in concert with others, induce
      or
      influence, or seek to induce or influence, any person who is engaged by the
      Company as an employee, agent, independent contractor or otherwise, to terminate
      his or her employment or engagement, nor shall Employee prior to the expiration
      of such period, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or engagement,
      employ or engage, attempt to employ or engage, or advise or recommend to any
      other person or entity that such person or entity employ or engage or solicit
      for employment or engagement, any person or entity employed or engaged by the
      Company.

    

    13. Equitable
      Relief.

    

    Employee
      acknowledges and agrees that the Business is highly competitive, and that
      violation of any of the covenants and agreements provided for in Sections 8
      -
      12 of
      this
      Agreement would cause immediate, immeasurable and irreparable harm, loss and
      damage to the Company not adequately compensable by a monetary award.
      Accordingly, Employee agrees, without limiting any of the other remedies
      available to the Company, that any violation of said covenants, or any of them,
      may be enjoined or restrained by any court of competent jurisdiction, and that
      any temporary restraining order or emergency, preliminary or final injunctions
      may be issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, without notice and without
      bond. In the event any proceedings are commenced by the Company for any actual
      or threatened violation of any of said covenants or agreements or the Company
      shall engage legal counsel or incur other costs and expenses related to the
      enforcement of said covenants or agreements, Employee shall be liable to the
      Company to the extent the Company is the prevailing party in such proceedings
      (or in the absence of a proceeding, to the extent the services of attorneys
      and
      the incurrence of such other costs and expenses were reasonably required for
      the
      Company’s enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement, as determined by the
      Company’s Board of Directors) for all reasonable costs and expenses of any kind,
      including reasonable attorneys' fees, which the Company has incurred in
      connection with such proceedings or enforcement activities, including, without
      limitation, in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of this
      section. Employee acknowledges that in the event that Employee’s employment with
      the Company terminates, Employee will be able to earn a livelihood without
      violation of the aforesaid covenants of this Agreement. 

    

    14.
       
      Binding Effect and Benefit.

    

    The
      provisions hereof shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of,
      Employee, his heirs, executors, and administrators as well as to Company, its
      successors, and assigns; however, Employee’s services under this personal
      services contract are not assignable by Employee.

    

    15. 
      Waivers.

    

    No
      delay
      on the part of any party in the exercise of any right or remedy shall operate
      as
      a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise or waiver thereof by any
      party of any right or remedy shall preclude the exercise or further exercise
      thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

      8, 10
      through 12) or the application of any provision of this Agreement to any party

      provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition without
      invalidating the remainder of such provision, any other provision of this
      Agreement, or the application of such provision to other parties or
      circumstances. Headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference

      by
      any other party which is not contained in this Agreement.

    22. Presumptions.
      

    

    In
      resolving any dispute or construing any provision hereunder, there shall be
      no
      presumptions made or inferences drawn because the attorneys for one of the
      parties drafted the Agreement.

     

    23. Counterparts. 

    

    This
      Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by transmission of
      a
      facsimile or digital image containing the signature of an authorized person,
      each of which shall be deemed and accepted as an original, and all of which

    24. Arbitration/Waiver
      of Claims. 
      

    

    The
      Parties hereby waive any claim they may have against either party regarding
      any
      affairs between the Parties prior to this Agreement.  The Parties agree
      that in the event of any and all disagreements and controversies arising from
      this Agreement such disagreements and controversies shall be subject to binding
      arbitration as arbitrated in accordance with the then current Commercial
      Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association to be held in Chicago,
      Illinois before one neutral arbitrator. Either Party may apply to the arbitrator
      seeking injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the
      controversy is otherwise resolved. Without waiving any remedy under this
      Agreement, either Party may also seek from any court having jurisdiction any
      interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or
      property of that Party, pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal
      (or
      pending the arbitral tribunal’s determination of the merits of the controversy).
      In the event of any such disagreement or controversy, neither Party shall
      directly or indirectly reveal, report, publish or disclose any information
      relating to such disagreement or controversy to any person, firm or corporation
      not expressly authorized by the other Party to receive such information or
      use
      such information or assist any other person in doing so, except to comply
      with
      actual
      legal obligations of such Party or unless such disclosure is directly related
      to
      an arbitration proceeding as provided herein, including, but not limited to,
      the
      prosecution or defense of any claim in such arbitration.  The costs and
      expenses of the arbitration (including attorneys’ fees) shall be paid by the
      non-prevailing Party or as determined by the arbitrator.  The Parties are
      hereby waiving any claims against each other party for any activities or prior
      business transactions between the parties to date.  This paragraph shall
      survive the termination of this Agreement.
