the Plan is to (a) promote the best interests of the Corporation and its

Corporation through the granting of share-based Awards, thus identifying their
interests with those of shareholders, and (b) enhance the ability of the
Corporation to attract and retain qualified Employees, Directors and
Consultants.  It is the further purpose of the Plan to permit the
granting of Awards that will constitute performance based compensation, as
described in Code Section 162(m) and regulations promulgated
thereunder.

    (ii) A share

exchange shall result in the exchange of more than fifty percent (50%) of the
total Fair Market Value or total voting power of the Corporation’s shares
outstanding before such share exchange for shares of another corporation, if,
following the share exchange, the shareholders of the Corporation immediately
prior to the share exchange do not own more than fifty percent (50%) of the
total voting power of such other corporation following the share
exchange;

     

    (iii) A sale of

Corporation immediately prior to the sale own more than fifty percent (50%) of
the voting power, directly or indirectly, of the acquiring company;

indirectly, of securities of Corporation representing more than fifty percent
(50%) of either the total Fair Market Value of the Corporation’s securities, or
the combined voting power of Corporation’s then outstanding voting
securities;

Preferred Shares, if any is outstanding, voting as though the Series A Preferred
Shares had been converted into Common Shares, cast in person or by proxy at a

grant in substitution therefore of any new Options and/or Share Appreciation
Rights under the Plan having a lower exercise price than the Fair Market Value

share as of the date of the exchange.  This paragraph shall not be

penalty owed by a Participant or Beneficiary with regard to Award
payments.  Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, all
or part of an Award payment to a Participant who is determined to constitute a
Code Section 409A “Specified Employee” at the time of separation from service,

extent Code Section 457A is applicable, it is intended that Awards granted under
the Plan shall be exempt from or in compliance with Code Section 457A, and the
provisions of the Plan are to be construed accordingly.  However,
unless specified otherwise herein, in no event shall the Corporation or
Subsidiary be responsible for any tax or penalty owed by a Participant or
Beneficiary with regard to Award payments.

     

    1.9 Indemnification. To the maximum extent
permitted by applicable laws, each member of the Committee (including officers
of the Corporation, if applicable), or of the Board, as applicable, shall be
indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation against and from (i) any loss,
cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by
him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or
proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be
involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or
pursuant to the terms and conditions of any Award except for actions or failures
to act taken in bad faith, and (ii) any and all amounts paid by him or her in
settlement thereof, with the Corporation’s approval, or paid by him or her in
satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding
against him or her, provided that such member shall give the Corporation an
opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend any such claim, action,
suit or proceeding before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or
her own behalf.  The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be
exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be
entitled under the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and
Articles of
Association, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any other
power that the Corporation may have to indemnify or hold harmless each such
person.

     

    II           SHARE
OPTIONS

     

    2.1 Grant of
Options.  The Committee, at
any time and from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,
may grant Options to such Participants and for such number of Common Shares as
it shall designate.  Any Participant may hold more than one Option
under the Plan and any other plan of the Corporation or
Subsidiary.  The Committee shall determine the general terms and
conditions of exercise which shall be set forth in a Participant's
Agreement.  No Option granted hereunder may be exercised after the
tenth anniversary of the Grant Date.  The Committee may designate any
Option granted as either an Incentive Share Option or a Nonqualified Share
Option, or the Committee may designate a portion of an Option as an Incentive
Share Option or a Nonqualified Share Option.  At the discretion of the
Committee, an Option may be granted in tandem with a Share Appreciation
Right.  Unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s Agreement,
Options are intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 162(m) and the
regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent applicable.

    2.2 Incentive
Share Options.  Any Option
intended to constitute an Incentive Share Option shall comply with the
requirements of this Section 2.2.  An Incentive Share Option only may
be granted to an Employee.  No Incentive Share Option shall be granted
with an exercise price below the Fair Market Value of Common Shares on the Grant
Date nor with an exercise term that extends beyond ten (10) years from the Grant
Date.  An Incentive Share Option shall not be granted to any
Participant who owns (within the meaning of Code Section 424(d)) shares of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary possessing more than 10% of the total combined
voting power of all classes of shares of the Corporation or a Subsidiary unless,
at the Grant Date, the exercise price for the Option is at least 110% of the
Fair Market Value of the shares subject to the Option and the Option, by its
terms, is not exercisable more than five (5) years after the Grant
Date.  The aggregate Fair Market Value of the underlying Common Shares
(determined at the Grant Date) as to which Incentive Share Options granted under
the Plan (including a plan of a Subsidiary) may first be exercised by a
Participant in any one calendar year shall not exceed $100,000.  To
the extent that an Option intended to constitute an Incentive Share Option shall
violate the foregoing $100,000 limitation (or any other limitation set forth in
Code Section 422), the portion of the Option that exceeds the $100,000
limitation (or violates any other Code Section 422 limitation) shall be deemed
to constitute a Nonqualified Share Option.

     

    2.3 Option
Price.  The Committee
shall determine the per share exercise price for each Option granted under the
Plan.  No Option shall have an exercise price below 100% of the Fair
Market Value of Common Shares on the Grant Date.

     

    2.4 Payment for Option
Shares.

     

    (a) The
purchase price of Common Shares to be acquired upon exercise of an Option
granted hereunder shall be paid in full in cash or by personal check, bank draft
or money order at the time of exercise; provided, however, that in lieu of such
form of payment, unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s Agreement, payment
may be made by (i) delivery to the Corporation of outstanding Common Shares on
such terms and conditions as may be specified in the Participant’s Agreement;
(ii) by delivery to the Corporation of a properly executed exercise notice,
acceptable to the Corporation, together with irrevocable instructions to the
Participant’s broker to deliver to the Corporation sufficient cash to pay the
exercise price and any applicable income and employment withholding taxes, in
accordance with a written agreement between the Corporation and the brokerage
firm; (iii) delivery of other consideration approved by the Committee having a
Fair Market Value on the exercise date equal to the total purchase price; (iv)
other means determined by the Committee; or (v) any combination of the
foregoing.  Common Shares surrendered upon exercise shall be valued at
the Stock Exchange closing price for the Corporation's Common Shares on the day
prior to exercise, and the certificate(s) for such shares, duly endorsed for
transfer or accompanied by appropriate share powers, shall be surrendered to the
Corporation.

     

    (b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, an Option may not be exercised by delivery to or withholding by
the Corporation of Common Shares to the extent that such delivery or withholding
(i) would constitute a violation of the provisions of any law or regulation
(including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002), or (ii) if there is a substantial
likelihood that the use of such form of payment would result in adverse
accounting treatment to the Corporation under generally accepted accounting
principles.  Until a Participant has been issued a certificate or
certificates for the Common Shares so purchased (or the book entry representing
such shares has been made and such shares have been deposited with the
appropriate registered book-entry custodian), he or she shall possess no rights
as a record holder with respect to any such shares.

    III           SHARE APPRECIATION
RIGHTS

     

    3.1 Grant of
Share Appreciation Rights.  Share
Appreciation Rights may be granted, held and exercised in such form and upon
such general terms and conditions as determined by the Committee on an
individual basis.  A Share Appreciation Right may be granted to a
Participant with respect to such number of Common Shares of the Corporation as
the Committee may determine.  A Share Appreciation Right may be
granted on a stand-alone basis or as a Tandem Share Appreciation
Right.  If granted as a Tandem Share Appreciation Right, the number of
shares covered by the Share Appreciation Right shall not exceed the number of
shares which the Participant could purchase upon the exercise of the related
Option.  Unless otherwise provided in a Participant’s Agreement, Share
Appreciation Rights are intended to satisfy the requirements of Code Section
162(m) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent
applicable.  No Share Appreciation Right shall be granted with an
exercise term that extends beyond ten (10) years from the Grant
Date.

     

    3.2 Exercise
Price.  The Committee
shall determine the per share exercise price for each Share Appreciation Right
granted under the Plan; provided, however, that (a) the exercise price of a
Share Appreciation Right shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of
the Common Shares covered by the Share Appreciation Right on the Grant Date; and
(b) the per share exercise price subject to a Tandem Share Appreciation Right
shall be the per share exercise price under the related Option.

     

    3.3 Exercise
of Share Appreciation Rights.  A Share
Appreciation Right shall be deemed exercised upon receipt by the Corporation of
written notice of exercise from the Participant.  A Tandem Share
Appreciation Right shall be exercisable only at such times and in such amounts
as the related Option may be exercised.  Upon the exercise of a Tandem
Share Appreciation Right with respect to some or all of the shares subject to
such Share Appreciation Right, the related Option shall be cancelled
automatically as to the number of shares with respect to which the Tandem Share
Appreciation Right was exercised.  Upon the exercise of an Option
related to a Tandem Share Appreciation Right as to some or all of the shares
subject to such Option, the related Tandem Share Appreciation Right shall be
cancelled automatically as to the number of shares with respect to which the
related Option was exercised.

     

    3.4 Share
Appreciation Right Entitlement.

     

    (a) Upon
exercise of a stand-alone Share Appreciation Right, a Participant shall be
entitled to payment from the Corporation in shares, of an amount equal to the
difference between (i) the aggregate Fair Market Value on the exercise date for
the specified number of shares being exercised, and (ii) the aggregate exercise
price for the specified number of shares being exercised.  The
foregoing notwithstanding, if it is determined that the Share Appreciation Right
is not subject to Code Section 457A, payments may be made in cash or partly in
shares or cash (as determined by the Committee in accordance with any applicable
terms of the Agreement).

    (b) If the
Share Appreciation Right is granted in tandem with an Option, the payment shall
be equal to the difference between (i) the Fair Market Value of the number of
shares subject to the Share Appreciation Right on the exercise date, and (ii)
the Option price of the associated Option multiplied by the number of shares
available under the Option.

     

    3.5 Maximum
Share Appreciation Right Amount Per Share.  The Committee
may, at its sole discretion, establish (at the time of grant) a maximum amount
per share which shall be payable upon the exercise of a Share Appreciation
Right, expressed as a dollar amount or as a percentage or multiple of the
exercise price of a related Option.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units.  Subject to the
terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to
time, may grant Restricted Shares and Restricted Share Units under the Plan to
such Participants and in such amounts as it shall determine.

     

    4.2 Restricted
Share Agreement.  Each grant of
Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units shall be evidenced by an Agreement
that shall specify the terms of the restrictions, including the Restriction
Period, or periods, the number of Common Shares subject to the grant, or units,
the purchase price for the Restricted Shares, if any, the form of consideration
that may be used to pay the purchase price of the Restricted Shares, including
those specified in Section 2.4, and such other general terms and conditions,
including performance goals, as the Committee shall determine.

     

    4.3 Transferability.  Except as
provided in this Article IV and Section 11.3 of the Plan, the Common Shares
subject to an Award of Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units granted
hereunder may not be transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated until the termination of the applicable Restriction Period or for
such period of time as shall be established by the Committee and specified in
the applicable Agreement, or upon the earlier satisfaction of other conditions
as specified by the Committee in its sole discretion and as set forth in the
applicable Agreement.

     

    4.4 Other
Restrictions.  The Committee
shall impose such other restrictions on any Common Shares subject to an Award of
Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units under the Plan as it may deem
advisable including, without limitation, restrictions under applicable Federal
or State securities laws, and the issuance of a legended certificate of Common
Shares representing such shares to give appropriate notice of such restrictions
(or, if issued in book entry form, a notation with similar restrictive effect
with respect to the book entry representing such shares).  The
Committee shall have the discretion to waive the applicable Restriction Period
with respect to all or any part of the Common Shares subject to an Award of
Restricted Shares or Restricted Share Units that has not been granted under Code
Section 162(m).

    4.5 Voting
Rights.  During the
Restriction Period, Participants holding issued and outstanding Common Shares
subject to a Restricted Share Award may exercise full voting rights with respect
to the Restricted Shares, whether or not such Award has Vested.

     

    4.6 Dividends
and Dividend Equivalents.

     

    (a) Except as
set forth below or in a Participant’s Agreement, during the Restriction Period,
a Participant shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions
paid with respect to issued and outstanding Common Shares subject to an Award of
Restricted Shares, whether or not such Award has Vested.  If any
dividends or distributions are paid in shares during the Restriction Period
applicable to an Award of Restricted Shares, the dividend or other distribution
shares shall be subject to the same restrictions on transferability as the
Common Shares with respect to which they were paid.

     

    (b) The
Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Agreement evidencing any
Restricted Share Unit that the Participant shall be entitled to receive Dividend
Equivalents with respect to the payment of cash dividends on Common Shares
having a record date prior to the date on which Restricted Share Units held by
such Participant are settled.  Such Dividend Equivalents, if any,
shall be paid by crediting the Participant with additional whole Restricted
Share Units as of the date of payment of such cash dividends on Common
Shares.  The number of additional Restricted Share Units (rounded to
the nearest whole number) to be so credited shall be determined by dividing (i)
the amount of cash dividends paid on such date with respect to the number of
Common Shares represented by the Restricted Share Units previously credited to
the Participant, by (ii) the Fair Market Value per Common Share on such
date.  Such additional Restricted Share Units shall be subject to the
same terms and conditions and shall be settled in the same manner and at the
same time (or as soon thereafter as practicable) as the Restricted Share Units
originally subject to the Award.  In the event of a dividend or
distribution paid in Common Shares or any other adjustment made upon a change in
the capital structure of the Corporation as described in Article X, appropriate
adjustments shall be made in the Participant’s Restricted Share Unit so that it
represents the right to receive upon settlement any and all new, substituted or
additional securities or other property (other than normal cash dividends) to
which the Participant would be entitled by reason of the Common Shares issuable
upon settlement of the Restricted Share Unit, and all such new, substituted or
additional securities or other property shall be immediately subject to the same
restrictions as are applicable to the Restricted Share Unit.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (c) To the
extent that Code Section 457A applies to a Dividend Equivalent, such Dividend
Equivalent shall be paid on a date no later than the last day of the 12th
month (or such later date as Code Section 457A provides) following the end of
the tax year of the entity for whom the Participant is directly providing
services (if the Participant is providing direct services to multiple entities,
the end of the tax year of such entity which is the earliest) during which the
right to the Dividend Equivalent for the first time is no longer subject to a
“substantial risk of forfeiture” (as defined under Code Section
457A).

     

    4.7 Settlement
of Restricted Share Units.  If a Restricted
Share Unit is payable in Common Shares, the Corporation shall issue to a
Participant on the date on which Restricted Share Units subject to the
Participant’s Award Vest or on such other date determined by the Committee, in
its discretion, and set forth in the Agreement, one (1) Common Share and/or any
other new, substituted or additional securities or other property pursuant to an
adjustment described in Section 10.1 for each Restricted Share Unit then
becoming Vested or otherwise to be settled on such date, subject to the
withholding of applicable taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Plan to the contrary, any Restricted Share Unit, whether settled in
Common Shares, cash or other property, shall be paid no later than the fifteenth
day of the third month following the later of the end of (i) the calendar year,
or (ii) the fiscal year of the Corporation or the Subsidiary for which the
Participant performs services (to the extent that the Participant performs
services for the Corporation and/or one or more Subsidiary, the fiscal year of
such entity which ends the earliest), in which the Restricted Share Unit is
first no longer subject to a "substantial risk of forfeiture" (as defined under
Code Section 409A); provided that, if earlier and it is determined that the
Restricted Stock Unit is subject to Code Section 457A, any Restricted Share Unit
shall be paid on a date no later than the last day of the 12th
month (or such later date as Code Section 457A provides) following the end of
the tax year of the entity for whom the Participant is directly providing
services (if the Participant is providing direct services to multiple entities,
the end of the tax year of such entity which is the earliest) during which the
right to the Restricted Stock Unit for the first time is no longer subject to a
“substantial risk of forfeiture” (as defined under Code Section
457A).

     

    V           PERFORMANCE
AWARDS

     

    5.1 Grant of
Performance Awards.  The Committee, at
its discretion, may grant Performance Awards to Participants and may determine,
on an individual or group basis, the performance goals to be attained pursuant
to each Performance Award.

     

    5.2 Terms of
Performance Awards.

     

    (a) Performance
Awards shall consist of rights to receive cash, Common Shares, other property or
a combination of each, if designated performance goals are
achieved.  The terms of a Participant's Performance Award shall be set
forth in a Participant’s individual Agreement.  Each Agreement shall
specify the performance goals, which may include the Performance Measures,
applicable to a particular Participant or group of Participants, the period over
which the targeted goals are to be attained, the payment schedule if the goals
are attained, and any other general terms as the Committee shall determine and
conditions applicable to an individual Performance Award.  The
Committee, at its discretion, may waive all or part of the conditions, goals and
restrictions applicable to the receipt of full or partial payment of a
Performance Award that has not been granted pursuant to Code Section
162(m).

    (b) Performance
Awards may be granted as Performance Shares or Performance Units, at the
discretion of the Committee.

     

    (i) In the
case of Performance Shares, the Participant shall receive a legended certificate
of Common Share, restricted from transfer prior to the satisfaction of the
designated performance goals and restrictions (or shares may be issued in book
entry from with a notation having similar restrictive effect with respect to the
book entry representing such shares), as determined by the Committee and
specified in the Participant’s Agreement.  Prior to satisfaction of
the performance goals and restrictions, the Participant shall be entitled to
vote the Performance Shares to the extent such shares are issued and
outstanding.  Further, any dividends paid on such shares during the
performance period automatically shall be reinvested on behalf of the
Participant in additional Performance Shares under the Plan, and such additional
shares shall be subject to the same performance goals and restrictions as the
other shares under the Performance Share Award.

     

    (ii) In the
case of Performance Units, the Participant shall receive an Agreement from the
Committee that specifies the performance goals and restrictions that must be
satisfied before the Corporation shall issue the payment, which may be cash, a
designated number of Common Shares, other property or a combination
thereof.

     

    (c) Payment
of a Performance Award shall be paid no later than the fifteenth day of the
third month following the later of the end of (i) the calendar year, or (ii) the
fiscal year of the Corporation or the Subsidiary for which the Participant
performs services (to the extent that the Participant performs services for the
Corporation and/or one or more Subsidiary, the fiscal year of such entity which
ends the earliest), in which the Performance Award is first no longer subject to
a "substantial risk of forfeiture" (as defined under Code Section 409A);
provided that, if earlier and it is determined that the Performance Award is
subject to Code Section 457A, any Performance Award shall be paid on a date no
later than the last day of the 12th
month (or such later date as Code Section 457A provides) following the end of
the tax year of the entity for whom the Participant is directly providing
services (if the Participant is providing direct services to multiple entities,
the end of the tax year of such entity which is the earliest) during which the
right to the Performance Award for the first time is no longer subject to a
“substantial risk of forfeiture” (as defined under Code Section
457A).

    VI           INCENTIVE
AWARDS

     

    6.1 Grant of
Incentive Awards.

     

    (a) The
Committee, at its discretion, may grant Incentive Awards to such Participants as
it may designate from time to time.  The terms of a Participant’s
Incentive Award shall be set forth in the Participant’s individual
Agreement.  Each Agreement shall specify such general terms and
conditions as the Committee shall determine.

     

    (b) The
determination of Incentive Awards may be based upon criteria determined by the
Committee, including the attainment of specified levels of Corporation and/or
Subsidiary performance as measured by pre-established, objective performance
criteria determined at the discretion of the Committee, including any or all of
the Performance Measures.

     

    (c) The
Committee shall (i) select those Participants who shall be eligible to receive
an Incentive Award, (ii) determine the measurement or performance period, (iii)
determine target levels of performance, if any, and, if applicable, (iv)
determine the level of Incentive Award to be paid to each selected Participant
upon the achievement of each performance level.  The Committee
generally shall make the foregoing determinations prior to the commencement of
services to which an Incentive Award relates (or within the permissible
time-period established under Code Section 162(m)), to the extent applicable,
and while the outcome of the performance goals and targets, if any, are
uncertain.

     

    6.2 Payment
of Incentive Awards.

     

    (a) Incentive
Awards shall be paid in cash, Common Shares or other property, at the discretion
of the Committee.  Payments shall be made following a determination by
the Committee that the performance targets were attained or following the end of
a measurement period, but not later than the fifteenth day of the third month
following the later of the end of (i) the calendar year, or (ii) the fiscal year
of the Corporation or the Subsidiary for which the Participant performs services
(to the extent that the Participant performs services for the Corporation and/or
one or more Subsidiary, the fiscal year of such entity which ends the earliest),
in which the Incentive Award is first no longer subject to a "substantial risk
of forfeiture" (as defined under Code Section 409A); provided that, if earlier
and it is determined that the Incentive Award is subject to Code Section 457A,
any Incentive Award shall be paid on a date no later than the last day of the
12th
month (or such later date as Code Section 457A provides) following the end of
the tax year of the entity for whom the Participant is directly providing
services (if the Participant is providing direct services to multiple entities,
the end of the tax year of such entity which is the earliest) during which the
right to the Incentive Award for the first time is no longer subject to a
“substantial risk of forfeiture” (as defined under Code Section
457A).

    (b) The
amount of an Incentive Award to be paid upon the attainment of each targeted
level of performance, if any, shall equal a percentage of a Participant's base
salary for the fiscal year, a fixed dollar amount, or such other formula, as
determined by the Committee.

     

    VII           CODE SECTION 162(m)
PERFORMANCE MEASURE AWARDS

     

    7.1 Awards
Granted Under Code Section 162(m).    The Committee,
at its discretion, may designate that a Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit,
Performance Share, Performance Unit or Incentive Award shall be granted pursuant
to Code Section 162(m).  Such an Award must comply with the following
additional requirements, which shall control over any other provision that
pertains to such Award under Articles IV, V and VI.

     

    (a) Each Code
Section 162(m) Award shall be based upon the attainment of specified levels of
pre-established, objective Performance Measures that are intended to satisfy the
performance based compensation requirements of Code Section 162(m) and the
regulations promulgated thereunder.  Further, at the discretion of the
Committee, an Award also may be subject to goals and restrictions in addition to
the Performance Measures.

     

    (b) For each
Code Section 162(m) Award, the Committee shall (i) select the Participant who
shall be eligible to receive a Code Section 162(m) Award, (ii) determine the
applicable performance period, (iii) determine the target levels of the
Corporation or Subsidiary Performance Measures, and (iv) determine the number of
Common Shares or cash or other property (or combination thereof) subject to an
Award to be paid to each selected Participant.  The Committee shall
make the foregoing determinations prior to the commencement of services to which
an Award relates (or within the permissible time period established under Code
Section 162(m)) and while the outcome of the performance goals and targets is
uncertain.

     

    7.2 Attainment
of Code Section 162(m) Goals.

     

    (a) After
each performance period, the Committee shall certify, in writing:
(i)  if the Corporation has attained the performance targets, and (ii)
the number of shares pursuant to the Award that are to become freely
transferable, if applicable, or the cash or other property payable under the
Award.  The Committee shall have no discretion to waive all or part of
the conditions, goals and restrictions applicable to the receipt of full or
partial payment of an Award except in the case of the death or Disability of a
Participant.

     

    (b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee may, in its discretion, reduce any Award based on
such factors as may be determined by the Committee, including, without
limitation, a determination by the Committee that such a reduction is
appropriate in light of pay practices of competitors, or the performance of the
Corporation, a Subsidiary, or a Participant relative to the performance of
competitors, or performance with respect to the Corporation’s strategic business
goals.

    7.3 Individual
Participant Limitations.  Subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 10.1, no Participant in any one fiscal year of
the Corporation may be granted (a) Options or Share Appreciation Rights with
respect to more than 300,000 Common Shares; (b) Restricted Shares or Restricted
Share Units that are denominated in Common Shares with respect to more than
300,000 shares; (c) Performance Awards that are denominated in Common Shares
with respect to more than 300,000 shares; and (d) an Incentive Award denominated
in Common Shares with respect to more than 300,000 shares.  The
maximum dollar value payable to any Participant in any one fiscal year of the
Corporation with respect to Restricted Share Units, Performance Awards or
Incentive Awards that are valued in property other than Common Shares is the
lesser of $1,000,000 or three times the Participant’s base salary for the fiscal
year.  If an Award is cancelled, the cancelled Award shall continue to
be counted towards the applicable limitations.

     

    VIII           DIRECTOR SHARE PURCHASE
RIGHTS

     

    8.1 Eligibility.  A
Director may elect to purchase Common Shares under the Plan using all or a
portion of his or her cash fees received for services as a director for which
the Director has not yet received payment (including but not limited to,
quarterly retainer and Board/Committee meeting fees).

     

    8.2 Elections.  Elections to
purchase Common Shares under the Plan in lieu of cash compensation may be
submitted to the Corporation annually, prior to the end of December of each
calendar year or such other period established by the Committee.  An
election shall cover director cash compensation payable in the next calendar
year.

     

    8.3 Purchase
Price. Common
Shares purchased by a Director hereunder shall have a purchase price equal to
100% of the Fair Market Value of the Corporation’s Common Shares on the first
day of the month in which the quarterly Director Fee Payment Date
falls.

     

    8.4 Termination
of Services.  If a Director
ceases to remain on the Board for any reason, including but not limited to,
voluntary or forced resignation, removal, failure to be re-elected as a
director, death, Disability or Retirement, the Director (or executor,
administrator or legal representative, if applicable) shall receive share
certificates for all cash director fees earned prior to the Director’s departure
from the Board for which the Director elected to receive Common Shares pursuant
to this Article VIII, but for which the Director has not yet received a share
certificate.  Such share certificates shall be issued following the
next quarterly Director Fee Payment Date.

     

    8.5 Non-Assignability.  Any Common Shares
purchase right granted hereunder shall be exercised by the Director only and is
nontransferable.  Upon the death of a Director, any earned, but unpaid
cash director fees for which the Director elected to receive Common Shares
pursuant to this Article VIII, shall be paid in the form of share certificates
to the Director’s executor, administrator or legal representative in accordance
with Section 8.4 above.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        20

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    8.6 Adjustments.  The total amount
of Common Shares to be received by a Director at the time of any issuance of a
share certificate shall be appropriately adjusted for any increase or decrease
in the number of outstanding Common Shares resulting from dividends, share
splits, recapitalizations, reorganizations, mergers, combinations, exchanges or
other relevant changes in the capital structure of the Corporation occurring
from the Director Fee Payment Date on which such Common Shares were earned to
the date of issuance of the share certificate for such shares.  The
foregoing adjustments and the manner of application of the foregoing provisions
shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

     

    8.7 Rule
16b-3 Requirements.  Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan, the Committee may impose such conditions on the
purchase of Common Shares hereunder as may be required to satisfy the
requirements of Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, as amended from time to time (or
any successor rule).  Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the
contrary, the Committee shall have no discretion with respect to the terms of
purchase made pursuant to this Article VIII, except to the extent such
discretion would not result in the purchase or the Plan failing to qualify for
the exemption provided under Rule 16b-3.

     

    8.8 Delivery
of Shares; Rights Prior to Delivery of Shares.  By December 15th
of each year, Directors electing to receive Common Shares will receive share
certificates for shares earned during the year.  A Director may
request to receive Common Shares at any or each quarterly Director Fee Payment
Date for the year in which the shares were earned.  No Director shall
have any rights as a shareholder with respect to Common Shares covered by a
purchase right until their name has been reflected in the corporation’s share
register the issuance of a share certificate.  No adjustment shall be
made for dividends or other rights with respect to such shares for which the
record date is prior to the date the certificate is issued.

     

    IX           TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR
SERVICES

     

    9.1 Options
and Share Appreciation Rights.

     

    (a) If, prior
to the date that an Option or Share Appreciation Right first becomes Vested, a
Participant terminates employment or services for any reason, the Participant's
right to exercise the Option or Share Appreciation Right shall terminate and all
rights thereunder shall cease, unless provided otherwise in a Participant’s
Agreement.

     

    (b) If, on or
after the date when an Option or Share Appreciation Right first becomes Vested,
a Participant terminates employment or services are terminated for any reason
other than death or Disability, the Participant shall have the right within the
exercise period specified in the Participant’s Agreement, to exercise the Option
or Share Appreciation Right to the extent that it was exercisable and
unexercised on the date of the Participant's termination of employment or
services (taking into account any Vesting that may occur in connection with such
termination), subject to any other limitation on the exercise of the Option in
effect on the date of exercise.  Provided, however, that the
beneficial tax treatment of an Incentive Share Option may be forfeited if an
Option is exercised more than three (3) months after termination of
employment.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        21

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (c) If, on or
after the date when an Option or Share Appreciation Right first becomes Vested,
a Participant terminates employment or services are terminated due to death
while an Option or Share Appreciation Right is still exercisable, the person or
persons to whom the Option or Share Appreciation Right shall have been
transferred by will or the laws of descent and distribution, shall have the
right within the exercise period specified in the Participant's Agreement to
exercise the Option or Share Appreciation Right to the extent that it was
exercisable and unexercised on the Participant's date of death, subject to any
other limitation on exercise in effect on the date of
exercise.  Provided, however, that the beneficial tax treatment of an
Incentive Share Option may be forfeited if the Option is exercised more than one
(1) year after a Participant's date of death.

     

    (d) If, on or
after the date that an Option or Share Appreciation Right first becomes Vested,
a Participant terminates employment or services due to Disability, the
Participant shall have the right, within the exercise period specified in the
Participant’s Agreement, to exercise the Option or Share Appreciation Right to
the extent that it was exercisable and unexercised on the date of the
Participant's termination of employment or services due to Disability, subject
to any other limitation on the exercise of the Option or Share Appreciation
Right in effect on the date of exercise.  If the Participant dies
after termination of employment or services, as applicable, while the Option or
Share Appreciation Right is still exercisable, the Option or Share Appreciation
Right shall be exercisable in accordance with the terms of paragraph (c),
above.  Provided, however, that the beneficial tax treatment of an
Incentive Share Option may be forfeited if the Option is exercised more than one
(1) year after a Participant's date of Disability.

     

    (e) The
Committee, at the time of a Participant's termination of employment or services,
may accelerate a Participant's right to exercise an Option or extend the
exercise period of an Option or Share Appreciation Right (subject to Code
Section 409A), but in no event past the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date;
provided, however, that the extension of the exercise period for an Incentive
Share Option may cause such Option to forfeit its preferential tax
treatment.

     

    (f) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if a sale within the applicable time periods of Common Shares
acquired upon the exercise of the Option would subject the Participant to suit
under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the Option shall remain exercisable
until the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth (10th) day following the date on
which a sale of such Common Shares by the Participant would no longer be subject
to such suit, (ii) the one hundred and ninetieth (190th) day after the
Participant’s termination of service, or (iii) the expiration date of the
Option.

     

    (g) Shares
subject to Options and Share Appreciation Rights that are not exercised in
accordance with the provisions of (a) through (f) above shall expire and be
forfeited by the Participant as of their expiration date and shall become
available for new Awards under the Plan as of such date.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    9.2 Restricted
Shares and Restricted Share Units.  If a
Participant’s employment or services are terminated for any reason, the
Participant's right to Common Shares subject to a Restricted Share or Restricted
Share Unit Award that are still subject to a Restriction Period automatically
shall terminate and be forfeited by the Participant (or, if the Participant was
required to pay a purchase price for the Restricted Shares, other than for the
performance of services, the Corporation shall have the option to repurchase any
shares acquired by the Participant which are still subject to the Restriction
Period for the purchase price paid by the Participant) and, subject to Section
1.6, said shares shall be available for new Awards under the Plan as of such
termination date.  Provided, however, that the Committee, in its sole
discretion, may provide in a Participant’s Agreement or otherwise for the
continuation of a Restricted Share Award or Restricted Share Unit after a
Participant terminates employment or services are terminated or may waive or
change the remaining restrictions (subject to Code Section 409A and, if
applicable, Code Section 457A).  The Committee shall not waive any
performance goals under or restrictions on a Code Section 162(m) Restricted
Share or Restricted Share Unit Award, but the Committee may provide in a
Participant’s Code Section 162(m) Restricted Share or Restricted Share Unit
Agreement or otherwise that prior to the termination of the Restriction Period,
the performance goals shall be deemed to have been attained and restrictions
shall be deemed to no longer be applicable on the terms determined by the
Committee upon the Participant’s termination of employment due to death or
Disability.

     

    9.3 Performance
Awards.  Performance
Awards shall expire and be forfeited by a Participant upon the Participant's
termination of employment or services for any reason, and, subject to Section
1.6, shall be available for new Awards under the Plan as of such termination
date.  Provided, however, that the Committee, in its discretion, may
provide in a Participant’s Agreement or otherwise for the continuation of a
Performance Award after a Participant terminates employment or services or may
waive or change all or part of the conditions, goals and restrictions applicable
to such Performance Award (subject to Code Section 409A and, if applicable, Code
457A).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not waive
any performance goals under or restrictions on a Code Section 162(m) Performance
Award, but the Committee may provide in a Participant’s Code Section 162(m)
Performance Share Agreement or otherwise that prior to the attainment of the
associated performance goals or termination of the applicability of the
restrictions, the performance goals shall be deemed to have been attained and
restrictions shall be deemed to no longer be applicable on the terms determined
by the Committee, upon the Participant’s termination of employment due to death
or Disability.

     

    9.4 Incentive
Awards.

     

    (a) Incentive
Awards shall expire and be forfeited by a Participant upon the Participant's
termination of employment or services for any reason, and, subject to Section
1.6, shall be available for new Awards under the Plan as of such termination
date.  Provided, however, that the Committee, in its discretion, may
provide in a Participant’s Agreement or otherwise for the continuation of an
Incentive Award after a Participant terminates employment or services or may
waive or change all or part of the conditions, goals and restrictions applicable
to such Incentive Award (subject to Code Section 409A and, if applicable, Code
457A).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall not waive
any performance goals under or restrictions on a Code Section 162(m) Incentive
Award, but the Committee may provide in a Participant’s Code Section 162(m)
Incentive Award Agreement or otherwise that prior to the attainment of the
associated performance goals or termination of the applicability of the
restrictions, the performance goals shall be deemed to have been attained and
restrictions shall be deemed to no longer be applicable on the terms determined
by the Committee, upon the Participant’s termination of employment due to death
or Disability.

    9.5 Other
Provisions.  The transfer of
an Employee from one corporation to another among the Corporation and any of its
Subsidiaries, or a leave of absence under the leave policy of the Corporation or
any of its Subsidiaries shall not be a termination of employment for purposes of
the Plan, unless a provision to the contrary is expressly stated by the
Committee in a Participant's Agreement issued under the Plan.  For
purposes of Code Section 409A, a leave of absence shall not be considered a
termination of employment if the leave duration either is six (6) months or less
(up to twenty-nine (29) months for disability) or reemployment upon the
expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract.

     

    X           ADJUSTMENTS AND CHANGE IN
CONTROL

     

    10.1 Adjustments.

     

    (a) In the
event of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, dividend or
distribution (whether in cash, shares or other property), share split, reverse
share split, spin-off or similar transaction or other change in corporate
structure affecting the Common Shares or the value thereof, such adjustments and
other substitutions shall be made to the Plan and Awards as the Committee, in
its sole discretion, deems equitable or appropriate, including adjustments in
the aggregate number, class and kind of securities that may be delivered under
the Plan and, in the aggregate or to any one Participant, in the number, class,
kind and option or exercise price of securities subject to outstanding Awards
granted under the Plan (including, if the Committee deems appropriate, the
substitution of similar options to purchase the shares of, or other awards
denominated in the shares of, another company, as the Committee may determine to
be appropriate in its sole discretion).  Any fractional share
resulting from an adjustment pursuant to this Section 10.1(a) shall be rounded
down to the nearest whole number.

     

    (b) In the
event of a proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, the Committee
shall notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date
of such proposed transaction.  The Committee in its discretion may
provide for a Participant to vest and/or have the right to exercise his or her
Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit,
Performance Award or Incentive Award in full for a period specified by the
Committee as to all of the Common Shares covered thereby, including shares as to
which the Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Share, Restricted Share
Unit, Performance Award or Incentive Award would not otherwise be vested or
exercisable, subject to the proposed dissolution or liquidation taking place at
the time and in the manner contemplated.  In addition, the Committee
may provide that any re-purchase option of the Corporation applicable to the
shares that vested or were purchased upon exercise pursuant to an Option, Share
Appreciation Right, Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award
or Incentive Award, or Director Share Purchase Right shall lapse as to all such
shares, provided that the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the
time and in the manner contemplated.  To the extent it has not vested
and/or been previously exercised, an Option, Share Appreciation Right,
Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award or Incentive Award
shall terminate immediately prior to the consummation of the proposed
dissolution or liquidation.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (c) In the
event of a merger of the Corporation with or into another corporation where the
Corporation is not the surviving corporation, a reverse triangular merger where
the Corporation is the surviving corporation, but its shares are exchanged for
shares of the parent company of the other party to the merger, the sale of
substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, the reorganization of the
Corporation or other similar transaction determined by the Committee to be
covered by this Section 10.1(c), it is intended that each outstanding Option,
Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance
Award, Incentive Award or Director Share Purchase Right shall be assumed or an
equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation, the parent
or a subsidiary of the successor corporation or the parent of the Corporation
following a reverse triangular merger.  In the event that such
successor corporation (or the parent or a subsidiary thereof or the parent of
the Corporation following a reverse triangular merger) refuses to assume or
substitute for the Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Share,
Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, Incentive Award or Director Share
Purchase Right, the Participant shall fully vest in and/or have the right to
exercise the Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Share, Restricted
Share Unit, Performance Award or Incentive Award, including shares which would
not otherwise be vested or exercisable, and the Participant shall have his or
her Director Share Purchase Right paid in full in Common Shares for services
through the date of the consummation of the transaction.  If an
Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit,
Performance Award or Incentive Award becomes fully vested and exercisable in
lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger, sale of assets,
reorganization or other transaction, the Committee shall notify the Participant
in writing or electronically that the Option, Share Appreciation Right,
Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, or Incentive Award
shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period specified by the Committee
from the date of such notice, provided that if such period expires prior to the
consummation of the merger, sale of assets, reorganization or other transaction,
any exercise shall be subject to the proposed merger, sale of assets or other
transaction taking place, and the Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted
Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, or Incentive Award shall
terminate upon the expiration of such period (or the consummation of the merger,
sale of assets, reorganization or other transaction, if later).  For
the purposes of this paragraph, the Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted
Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, Incentive Award or Director
Share Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger, sale
of assets, reorganization or other transaction, the option or right confers the
right to purchase or receive, for each share covered by the Participant’s
Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit,
Performance Award, Incentive Award or Director Share Purchase Right immediately
prior to such transaction, the consideration (whether share, cash, or other
securities or property) received in the merger, sale of assets, reorganization,
or other transaction, by holders of Common Shares for each share held on the
effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of
consideration, the type of consideration determined by the Committee); provided,
however, that if such consideration received in the merger, sale of assets,
reorganization, or other transaction, is not solely Common Shares of the
successor corporation (or the parent or a subsidiary thereof), the Committee
may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the
consideration to be received upon the payment under the Director Share Purchase
Right or exercise and/or vesting of the Option, Share Appreciation Right,
Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, or Incentive Award
for each Common Share subject to the Option, Share Appreciation Right,
Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, Incentive Award or
Director Share Purchase Right to be solely Common Shares of the successor
corporation (or the parent or a subsidiary thereof) equal in Fair Market Value
to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Shares in the
merger, sale of assets, reorganization or other
transaction.  

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        25

        
          

        

      

      
        
        
The
Committee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any
Participant, determine that, in the event of a merger of the Corporation with or
into another corporation where the Corporation is not the surviving corporation,
a reverse triangular merger where the Corporation is the surviving corporation,
but its shares are exchanged for shares of the parent company of the other party
to the merger, the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Corporation,
the reorganization of the Corporation or other similar transaction determined by
the Committee to be covered by this Section 10.1(c), each or any Option or Share
Appreciation Right outstanding immediately prior to such event shall be
cancelled in exchange for a payment with respect to each Vested Common Share
subject to such cancelled Option or Share Appreciation Right in (i) cash, (ii)
shares of the Corporation or of a corporation or other business entity a party
to the merger, sale of assets, reorganization or other transaction, or (iii)
other property which, in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair
Market Value equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the consideration
to be paid per Common Share in the merger, sale of assets, reorganization or
other transaction over the exercise price per share under such Option or Share
Appreciation Right (the “Spread”).  In the event such determination is
made by the Committee, the Spread (reduced by applicable withholding taxes, if
any) shall be paid to Participants in respect of their cancelled Options and
Share Appreciation Rights as soon as practicable following the date of the
merger, sale of assets, reorganization or other transaction.

    

     

    (d) In the
event of a proposed spin-off or a transfer by the Corporation of a portion of
its assets resulting in the employment of certain Participants by the spin-off
entity or the entity acquiring assets of the Corporation, the Committee may make
whatever adjustments it determines appropriate with respect to such terminating
Participants.

     

    (e) The
foregoing adjustments shall be made by the Committee.  Any such
adjustment may provide for the elimination of any fractional share which might
otherwise become subject to an Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted
Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, Incentive Award or Director
Share Purchase Right.  The Committee need not make the same
adjustments for each Participant.

    10.2 Change in
Control.

     

    (a) Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Committee, in its discretion, may
provide in a Participant’s Agreement or otherwise that upon a Change in Control,
or such other events as determined by the Committee, any or all of the following
shall occur:  (i) any outstanding Option or Share Appreciation Right
granted hereunder immediately shall become fully Vested and exercisable,
regardless of any installment provision applicable to such Option or Share
Appreciation Right; (ii) the remaining Restriction Period on any Common Shares
subject to a Restricted Share or Restricted Share Unit Award granted hereunder
immediately shall lapse and the shares shall become fully transferable, subject
to any applicable Federal or State securities laws; (iii) all performance goals
and conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied under all outstanding
Performance Awards, which immediately shall become payable (either in full or
pro-rata based on the portion of the applicable performance period completed as
of the Change in Control); (iv) all performance targets and performance levels
shall be deemed to have been satisfied for any outstanding Incentive Awards,
which immediately shall become payable (either in full or pro-rata based on the
portion of the applicable performance period completed as of the Change in
Control); (v) the Participant shall have his or her Director Share Purchase
Right paid in full in Common Shares for services through the date of the
consummation of the transaction; or (vi) such other treatment as the Committee
may determine.  If an Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted
Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award or Incentive Award becomes fully
vested and exercisable in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee shall
notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option, Share
Appreciation Right, Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award,
or Incentive Award shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period specified
by the Committee from the date of such notice, provided that if such period
expires prior to the consummation of the Change in Control, any exercise shall
be subject to the proposed Change in Control taking place, and the Option, Share
Appreciation Right, Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award,
or Incentive Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period (or the
consummation of the Change in Control, if later).

     

    (b) The
Committee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any
Participant, determine that, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, each or
any Option or Share Appreciation Right outstanding immediately prior to the
Change in Control shall be cancelled in exchange for a payment with respect to
each Vested Common Share subject to such cancelled Option or Share Appreciation
Right in (i) cash, (ii) shares of the Corporation or of a corporation or other
business entity a party to the Change in Control, or (iii) other property which,
in any such case, shall be in an amount having a Fair Market Value equal to the
excess of the Fair Market Value of the consideration to be paid per Common Share
in the Change in Control over the exercise price per share under such Option or
Share Appreciation Right (the “Spread”).  In the event such
determination is made by the Committee, the Spread (reduced by applicable
withholding taxes, if any) shall be paid to Participants in respect of their
cancelled Options and Share Appreciation Rights as soon as practicable following
the date of the Change in Control.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        27

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide in a Participant’s
Agreement or otherwise that, if, in the event of a Change in Control, the
successor company assumes an Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Share,
Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, Incentive Award or Director Share
Purchase Right payable in Common Shares or substitutes an equivalent instrument
therefor, then each such outstanding Option, Share Appreciation Right,
Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, Incentive Award or
Director Share Purchase Right shall not be accelerated as described in Section
10.2(a).  For the purposes of this Section 10.2(c), such an Option,
Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Unit, Performance
Award, Incentive Award or Director Share Purchase Right shall be considered
assumed or substituted for an equivalent instrument, if, following the Change in
Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Common
Share subject to such Option, Share Appreciation Right, Restricted Shares,
Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, Incentive Award or Director Share
Purchase Right immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration
(whether shares, cash or other securities or property) received in the
transaction constituting a Change in Control by holders of Common Shares for
each share held on the effective date of such transaction (and if holders were
offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares); provided, however, that if
such consideration received in the transaction constituting a Change in Control
is not solely common shares of the successor company, the Committee may, with
the consent of the successor company, provide that the consideration to be
received upon the exercise or vesting of such Option, Share Appreciation Right,
Restricted Share, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, Incentive Award, or
Director Share Purchase Right for each Common Share subject thereto, will be
solely common shares of the successor company substantially equal in fair market
value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Shares in the
transaction constituting a Change in Control.  The determination of
such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the
Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and
binding.  Awards which are neither assumed or substituted by the
successor corporation in connection with a Change in Control nor exercised as of
the date of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding
effective as of the date of the Change in Control

     

    XI           MISCELLANEOUS

     

    11.1 Partial
Exercise/Fractional Shares.  The Committee may
permit, and shall establish procedures for, the partial exercise of Options and
Share Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan.  No fractional
shares shall be issued in connection with the exercise of a Share Appreciation
Right or payment of a Performance Award, Restricted Share, Restricted Share
Unit, Incentive Award or Director Share Purchase Rights; instead, the Fair
Market Value of the fractional shares shall be paid in cash, or at the
discretion of the Committee, the number of shares shall be rounded down to the
nearest whole number of shares and any fractional shares shall be
disregarded.

    11.2 Rights
Prior to Issuance of Shares.  No Participant
shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to shares covered by an
Award until the issuance of a share certificate for such shares (or book entry
representing such shares has been made and such shares have been deposited with
the appropriate registered book-entry custodian).  No adjustment shall
be made for dividends or other rights with respect to such shares for which the
record date is prior to the date the certificate is issued except as otherwise
provided in the Plan or a Participant’s Agreement or by the
Committee.

     

    11.3 Non-Assignability;
Certificate Legend; Removal. 

     

    (a) Except as
described below or as otherwise determined by the Committee in a Participant’s
Agreement, no Award shall be transferable by a Participant except by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and an Option or Share Appreciation Right
shall be exercised only by a Participant during the lifetime of the
Participant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may assign
or transfer an Award that is not an Incentive Share Option with the consent of
the Committee (each transferee thereof, a “Permitted Assignee”); provided that
such Permitted Assignee shall be bound by and subject to all of the terms and
conditions of the Plan and any Agreement relating to the transferred Award and
shall execute an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation evidencing such
obligations; and provided further that such Participant shall remain bound by
the terms and conditions of the Plan.

     

    (b) Each
certificate representing Common Shares subject to a Restricted Share or
Restricted Share Unit Award, to the extent a certificate is issued, shall bear
the following legend:

     

    The sale
or other transfer of the shares represented by this certificate, whether
voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to certain
restrictions on transfer set forth in the Chardan 2008 China Acquisition Corp.
2009 Equity Incentive Plan ("Plan"), rules and administrative guidelines adopted
pursuant to such Plan [and an Agreement dated    ,     ].  A
copy of the Plan, such rules [and such Agreement] may be obtained from the
[INSERT TITLE]
of Chardan 2008 China Acquisition Corp.

     

    If shares
are issued in book entry form, a notation to the same restrictive effect as the
legend shall be placed on the transfer agent’s books in connection with such
shares

     

    (c) Subject
to applicable Federal and State securities laws, issued Common Shares subject to
an Award shall become freely transferable by the Participant after all
applicable restrictions, limitations, performance requirements or other
conditions have terminated, expired, lapsed or been satisfied.  Once
such issued Common Shares are released from such restrictions, limitations,
performance requirements or other conditions, the Participant shall be entitled
to have the legend required by this Section 11.3 removed from the applicable
Common Shares certificate (or notation removed from such book
entry).

    11.4 Securities
Laws.

     

    (a) Anything
to the contrary herein notwithstanding, the Corporation's obligation to sell and
deliver Common Shares pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Share
Appreciation Right or deliver Common Shares pursuant to a Restricted Share
Award, Restricted Share Unit, Performance Award, Incentive Award or Director
Share Purchase Right is subject to such compliance with Federal and State laws,
rules and regulations applying to the authorization, issuance or sale of
securities as the Corporation deems necessary or advisable.  The
Corporation shall not be required to sell and deliver or issue Common Shares
unless and until it receives satisfactory assurance that the issuance or
transfer of such shares shall not violate any of the provisions of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations of the
Securities Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder or those of the Stock
Exchange or any stock exchange on which the Common Shares may be listed, the
provisions of any State laws governing the sale of securities, or that there has
been compliance with the provisions of such acts, rules, regulations and
laws.

     

    (b) The
Committee may impose such restrictions on any Common Shares acquired pursuant to
the exercise of an Option or Share Appreciation Right or the grant of Restricted
Shares or Restricted Share Units or the payment of a Performance Award,
Incentive Award or Director Share Rights under the Plan as it may deem
advisable, including, without limitation, restrictions (i) under applicable
Federal securities laws; (ii) under the requirements of the Stock Exchange or
any other securities exchange or recognized trading market or quotation system
upon which such Common Shares are then listed or traded; and (iii) under any
blue sky or State securities laws applicable to such shares.

     

    11.5 Withholding
Taxes.

     

    (a) The
Corporation shall have the right to withhold from a Participant’s compensation
or require a Participant to remit sufficient funds to satisfy applicable
withholding for income and employment taxes upon the exercise of an Option or
Share Appreciation Right or the lapse of the Restriction Period on a Restricted
Share Award, Restricted Share Unit, or the payment of a Performance Award or
Incentive Award or Director Share Purchase Right.  A Participant may
in order to fulfill the withholding obligation tender previously-acquired Common
Shares or have shares withheld from the exercise, provided that the shares have
an aggregate Fair Market Value sufficient to satisfy in whole or in part the
applicable withholding taxes.  The broker assisted exercise procedure
described in Section 2.4 may also be utilized to satisfy the withholding
requirements related to the exercise of an Option.  At no point shall
the Corporation withhold from the exercise of an Option more shares than are
necessary to meet the established tax withholding requirements of federal, state
and local obligations.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        30

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a Participant may not use Common Shares to satisfy the
withholding requirements to the extent that (i) there is a substantial
likelihood that the use of such form of payment or the timing of such form of
payment would subject the Participant to a substantial risk of liability under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act; (ii) such withholding would constitute a
violation of the provisions of any law or regulation (including the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002); or (iii) there is a substantial likelihood that the
use of such form of payment would result in adverse accounting treatment to the
Corporation under generally accepted accounting principles.

     

    11.6 Termination
and Amendment.

     

    (a) The Board
may terminate the Plan, or the granting of Awards under the Plan, at any
time.  No new Awards shall be made under the Plan after December 9,
2019.

     

    (b) The Board
may amend or modify the Plan at any time and from time to time, and the
Committee may amend or modify the terms of an outstanding Agreement at any time
and from time to time, but no amendment or modification, without the affirmative
vote of holders of a majority of the Common Shares and Series A Preferred
Shares, if any is outstanding, voting as though the Series A Preferred Shares
had been converted into Common Shares, shall (i) materially increase the
benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan (subject to Code Section 409A);
(ii) increase the amount of Common Shares for which Awards may be made under the
Plan, except as permitted under Sections 1.6 and Article 10; (iii) change the
provisions relating to the eligibility of individuals to whom Awards may be made
under the Plan; or (iv) permit the repricing of Options or Share Appreciation
Rights.  In addition, if the Corporation’s Common Shares are listed on
the Stock Exchange or another stock exchange, the Board may not amend the Plan
in a manner requiring approval of the shareholders of the Corporation under the
rules of the Stock Exchange or such other stock exchange, without the
affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the Common Shares and Series A
Preferred Share, if any is outstanding, voting as though the Series A Preferred
Shares had been converted into Common Shares.

     

    (c) No
amendment, modification, or termination of the Plan or an outstanding Agreement
shall in any manner adversely affect any then outstanding Award  under
the Plan without the consent of the Participant holding such Award except as set
forth in any Agreement relating to an Award or to bring the Plan or an Award
into compliance with Code Section 409A and, if applicable, Code Section 457A or
to qualify for an exemption under Code Section 409A and, if applicable, Code
Section 457A.

     

    11.7 Effect on
Employment or Services.  Neither the
adoption of the Plan nor the granting of any Award pursuant to the Plan shall be
deemed to create any right in any individual to be retained or continued in the
employment or services of the Corporation or Subsidiary.

     

    11.8 Use of
Proceeds.  The proceeds
received from the sale of Common Shares pursuant to the Plan shall be used for
general corporate purposes of the Corporation.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        31

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    11.9 Repurchase
Rights.  Common Shares
issued under the Plan may be subject to one (1) or more repurchase options, or
other conditions and restrictions, as determined by the Committee in its
discretion at the time an Award is granted.  The Corporation shall
have the right to assign at any time any repurchase right it may have, whether
or not such right is then exercisable, to one (1) or more persons as may be
selected by the Corporation.  Upon request by the Corporation, each
Participant shall execute any agreement evidencing such transfer restrictions
prior to the receipt of Common Shares hereunder and shall promptly present to
the Corporation any and all certificates representing Common Shares acquired
hereunder for the placement on such certificates of appropriate legends
evidencing any such transfer restrictions.

     

    11.10 Severability.  If any one or
more of the provisions (or any part thereof) of this Plan or of any Agreement
issued hereunder, shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, such provision shall be modified so as to make it valid, legal and
enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions (or any part thereof) of the Plan or of any Agreement shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Board may, without the consent of
any Participant, and in a manner determined necessary solely in the discretion
of the Board, amend the Plan and any outstanding Agreement as the Corporation
deems necessary to ensure the Plan and all Awards remain valid, legal or
enforceable in all respects.

     

    11.11 Beneficiary
Designation.  Subject to local laws and procedures, each
Participant may file a written beneficiary designation with the Corporation
stating who is to receive any benefit under the Plan to which the Participant is
entitled in the event of such Participant's death before receipt of any or all
of a Plan benefit. Each designation shall revoke all prior designations by the
same Participant, be in a form prescribed by the Corporation, and become
effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Corporation
during the Participant's lifetime. If a Participant dies without an effective
beneficiary designation for a beneficiary who is living at the time of the
Participant's death, the Corporation shall pay any remaining unpaid benefits to
the Participant's legal representative.

     

    11.12 Unfunded
Obligation.  A Participant
shall have the status of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation. Any
amounts payable to a Participant pursuant to the Plan shall be unfunded and
unsecured obligations for all purposes, including, without limitation, Title I
of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The
Corporation shall not be required to segregate any monies from its general
funds, or to create any trusts, or establish any special accounts with respect
to such obligations.  The Corporation shall retain at all times
beneficial ownership of any investments, including trust investments, which the
Corporation may make to fulfill its payment obligations
hereunder.  Any investments or the creation or maintenance of any
trust or any Participant account shall not create or constitute a trust or
fiduciary relationship between the Committee or the Corporation and a
Participant, or otherwise create any Vested or beneficial interest in any
Participant or the Participant's creditors in any assets of the
Corporation.  A Participant shall have no claim against the
Corporation for any changes in the value of any assets which may be invested or
reinvested by the Corporation with respect to the Plan.

of Plan.  The Plan shall be
subject to the approval of the holders of at least a majority of the votes cast
at a duly held meeting of shareholders of the Corporation held within twelve
(12) months after adoption of the Plan by the Board.  No Award granted
under the Plan may be exercised or paid in whole or in part unless the Plan has
been approved by the shareholders as provided herein.  If not approved
by shareholders within twelve (12) months after approval by the Board, the Plan
and any Awards granted under the Plan shall be null and void, with no further
force or effect.

     

    11.14 Governing
Law.  Except to the extent
governed by applicable federal law, the validity, interpretation, construction
and performance of the Plan and Agreements under the Plan, shall be governed by
the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflicts of law
rules.

    Exhibit 4.9

     

    FLATWORLD
SERVICES AGREEMENT

     

    This
FlatWorld Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is
entered into as of January 15, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) by
and between DAL Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DAL”), and FlatWorld
Consulting LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Consultant”).  DAL
and Consultant are sometimes hereinafter individually as a “Party” and
collectively referred to as the “Parties”.

     

    Background

     

    A.  DAL
desires to retain the services of Consultant and Consultant desires to provide
services to DAL.

    Agreements

     

    1. Provision
of Services.

     

    (a) During
the Management Services Term (as defined below), Consultant will provide
management consulting services, consistent with those services generally
performed by middle-market private equity firms for their portfolio companies,
with respect to DAL’s business as the board of managers of DAL may reasonably
request from time to time (the “Services”).  The
Parties agree that each will cooperate with the other regarding the details of
the specific Services to be provided.

     

    (b) Consultant
will devote such time, attention, and energy to the business and affairs of DAL
deemed necessary by Consultant to perform the Services, but in no event will
Consultant be required to devote more than an aggregate of 50 hours per calendar
month.

     

    (c) Consultant
warrants that all Services will be performed in a good, professional,
workmanlike and competent manner, in conformance with all applicable
professional standards and the requirements of this
Agreement.  Consultant agrees to provide the Services in reasonable
accordance with applicable policies and procedures of DAL.

     

    (d) Consultant
agrees to provide the Services using personnel reasonably acceptable to
DAL.

     

    (e) Consultant
shall not be required to provide Services, nor be entitled to receive the
Consulting Fee, prior to the start of the Management Services Term.

     

    2. Compensation.

     

    (a) During
the Management Services Term, Consultant shall receive an annual consulting fee
of $1,333,333 (the “Consulting Fee”),
paid in equal monthly installments of $111,111, paid in advance, commencing on
the date that is one year after the Effective Date, and on the same day of each
month thereafter.  For clarification purposes, the Consulting Fee
shall be paid to Consultant even if no Services are requested of Consultant
during any portion or the entirety of the Management Services
Term.  For further clarification purposes, the aggregate Consulting
Fee to be paid to Consultant during the initial Management Services Term shall
be $4,000,000.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (b) In
addition to the Consulting Fee, commencing on the Effective Date, DAL will pay
to Consultant an acquisition fee (the “Acquisition Fee”)
equal to 2.0% of the enterprise value of any entity that is included on Schedule A attached
hereto (each, a “Target”) (such
schedule shall be amended from time to time upon the mutual written approval of
the Parties) if such Target is acquired by DAL in a transaction consummated no
later than the earlier of 12 months following (i) the time that Consultant is no
longer actively pursuing a transaction involving DAL and the Target as evidenced
by Consultant’s written records; (ii) a written direction by DAL to Consultant
that DAL will not pursue such a transaction; or (iii) the expiration of the
Management Services Term.  The Parties agree that, at the request of
DAL, Consultant shall provide general descriptions to DAL of potential Targets
without specifically identifying such potential Targets.  Based upon
such descriptions, DAL may request to add such potential Target to Schedule A, in which
case Consultant shall provide the name of such target (and other information in
Consultant’s possession regarding the Target).  In the event that an
entity is added to Schedule A and DAL
provides written records to Consultant within 5 business days of such Target
being added to Schedule A evidencing
that DAL was already pursuing a transaction with such Target as of such time,
then such Target shall be promptly removed from Schedule
A.  Consultant shall provide such assistance to DAL as it
reasonably requests in connection with the consummation of the acquisition of
any Target.  If there is a dispute as to enterprise value of any
entity, it shall be determined by an investment banker mutually appointed by the
Parties and, if they cannot agree on an investment banker, then an investment
banker selected by the chief executive officer or equivalent position of BDO
Siedman, LLP.

     

    (c) In
addition to the fees payable to Consultant pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of
this Section 2, DAL shall promptly reimburse Consultant for all reasonable and
reasonably documented travel expenses and other out-of-pocket fees and expenses
as have been or may be incurred by Consultant in connection with the rendering
of Services that DAL requests in writing be performed by Consultant hereunder;
provided, however, that any
such expenses must be incurred pursuant to an expense budget of $10,000 per year
or as otherwise approved in advance in writing by the President of DAL or his
designee.

     

    (d) Any
amounts not paid by DAL to Consultant within 30 days of the date on which such
amounts become due and payable shall accrue interest at a default rate of 15%
per annum.

     

    3. Term; Management Services
Term.  The term of this Agreement shall commence on the
Effective Date and shall terminate at the end of the Management Services Term.
The Management Services Term shall commence one year after the Effective Date
and shall terminate on the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Management Services
Term”); provided, however, that the Management Services Term may, prior
to its scheduled termination date, be extended for one-year periods upon the
mutual agreement of the Parties.  Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, no termination of the Management Services Term or other
termination of this Agreement shall relieve (i) DAL of DAL’s obligation to pay
Consultant any amount payable under Section 2 or DAL’s indemnification
obligation to Consultant under Section 8 or (ii) either Party of their
confidentiality obligations to each other under Section 5 and Section 6, for a
period of twelve (12) months after the end of the Management Services Term, with
respect to confidential information or trade secrets disclosed to either Party
during the term of the Agreement.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    4. Nature of
Relationship.  Consultant shall be deemed to be an independent
contractor and shall not be authorized to manage or direct the management of the
affairs of, act in the name of or bind DAL.  DAL shall not be
obligated to follow or accept any advice or recommendation made by Consultant,
and the management, policies and operations of DAL shall be the sole
responsibility of the management of DAL.  Nothing set forth in this
Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit Consultant from serving any other person
or entity in any capacity Consultant may deem appropriate or from conducting its
business and affairs in any manner it may elect; provided, however, during the
Management Services Term, Consultant and its Affiliates will not provide any
services to a person or entity that directly competes with the business of DAL
or any of its Affiliates conducted as of the date of this Agreement or in a
manner that involves an actual conflict of interest with respect to DAL or any
of its Affiliates.  Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement,
if Consultant presents to DAL the opportunity to acquire an entity or render
services to another person or entity in connection with such an opportunity and
DAL does not pursue such opportunity in good faith, Consultant shall be free to
independently pursue such opportunity.

     

    5. Confidentiality.

     

    (a) In
consideration of the payments to be received by Consultant under this Agreement,
in recognition of the highly competitive nature of the industries in which DAL
conducts its business, and to further protect the goodwill of DAL and to promote
and preserve its legitimate business interests, Consultant agrees that
Consultant shall not disclose at any time, except as required by applicable law
or regulation, to anyone other than its Representatives, any confidential
information or trade secret of DAL, its Affiliates or any customer of DAL (it
being understood that such Representatives will be informed of the confidential
nature of such information by Consultant and shall be directed by Consultant,
and each will agree, unless such Representatives are already bound to maintain
the confidentiality of such confidential information, to treat such information
as confidential in accordance with this Section 5), or use such confidential
information or trade secret for any purpose other than in connection with the
Services.  If required by law or regulation to disclose confidential
information or trade secrets, Consultant shall provide written notice to DAL of
such requirement promptly after receipt of notice thereof and shall not comply
with such requirement prior to providing such notice to the extent permitted by
law or regulation.

     

    (b) For the
purpose of this Agreement, the term “confidential information” includes
information concerning the business affairs of DAL or its Affiliates, contact
information of current, former or prospective customers or suppliers of DAL and
its Affiliates, planned and potential financial and business plans,
methodologies of doing business, employee lists and telephone numbers, any
information or documents that relate to, refer to, contain, or constitute trade
secrets, and computer/software programs and associated documentation and
material (i) which are proprietary to DAL or its Affiliates, customer or
suppliers or (ii) which are proprietary to a third party from which DAL has
purchased the right to use such programs or material and with respect to which
DAL or its Affiliates are under an obligation to prevent disclosure to persons
not authorized by DAL, its Affiliates or the third party owner to receive such
information.  The term “confidential information” does not include
information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than
by breach of this Agreement, (ii) Consultant learns from a third party without
knowledge of breach of any confidentiality obligations of such third party to
DAL or its Affiliates, customers or suppliers with respect to such information,
(iii) is already in the possession of Consultant as of the date of this
Agreement (except for confidential information previously provided by DAL or its
Affiliates or customers) or (iv) is independently developed by Consultant
without reliance upon the confidential information of DAL or its Affiliates,
customers or suppliers.  The confidential information shall remain the
sole and exclusive property of DAL and its Affiliates, their respective
customers, suppliers and third party owners thereof.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (c) Consultant
shall use the confidential information and trade secrets of DAL, its Affiliates,
customers and suppliers only in connection with the
Services.  Consultant will not copy any of the confidential
information of DAL, its Affiliates, customers and suppliers for any purpose
except with the express consent of DAL.  Consultant will abide by and
be bound by the confidentiality provisions of any confidentiality agreements
relating to confidential information between DAL, its Affiliates and any of its
customers, suppliers or other third parties of which Consultant has actual
knowledge.

     

    (d) Upon
termination of this Agreement, or at any other time at DAL’s request, Consultant
agrees to deliver promptly to DAL or destroy all confidential information
(including manuals, letters, notes, notebooks, reports, formulae, computer
programs and associated documentation and material, memoranda, customer’s lists,
diskettes or other medium for electronic storage of information and all other
materials and all copies thereof containing confidential information relating in
any way to DAL, its Affiliates, their respective customers or suppliers or their
respective businesses), in any way obtained by Consultant which are in
Consultant’s possession or under its control, and Consultant will not make or
retain any copies of any of the foregoing and will so represent to DAL upon
termination of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding, anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, Consultant shall not be required to destroy or
deliver to DAL, and Consultant is expressly permitted to retain, any materials
required to be maintained pursuant to Consultant’s legal or regulatory
requirements or document retention policies or that are “backed-up” by
Consultant pursuant to its normal policies or procedures.

     

    (e) Each
Party understands that monetary damages alone would be insufficient to make the
other Party whole in the event a Party breaches, or is about to breach, any of
the provisions of this Section 5 or Section
6.  Therefore, each Party agrees that, in addition to any
monetary damages or other relief to which such Party may be entitled, the other
Party shall be entitled to seek immediate and permanent injunctive relief in the
event of any breach or threatened breach by the other Party of any provision of
this Section 5
or Section 6,
without the necessity of proving actual damages or the posting of any bond, and
each Party waives any requirement for advance notification prior to the entry of
such injunctive relief.  Failure to seek any or all remedies in one
case does not restrict either Party from seeking any remedies in another
situation.  Such action by either Party shall not constitute a waiver
of any of its rights hereunder.

     

    6. DAL
Confidentiality.  DAL agrees that neither DAL, nor any DAL
Representative shall disclose at any time, except as required by applicable law
or regulation, or as agreed to in writing by the third party owner or provider
of the applicable information, to anyone other than the DAL Representatives, any
confidential information of any third party provided by Consultant to DAL or any
DAL Representative; provided, that Consultant has advised DAL or any DAL
Representative that such information is required to be maintained as
confidential.  Each DAL Representative that receives any such
information will be informed by DAL of the confidential nature of such
information and shall be directed by DAL, and each will agree, unless the DAL
Representatives are already bound to maintain the confidentiality of such
confidential information, to treat such information as confidential in
accordance with this Section
6.  Neither DAL, nor any DAL Representative shall use any such
confidential information for any purpose other that the purpose for which it was
provided by Consultant to DAL or any DAL
Representative.  

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        
DAL shall
be responsible for any breach of this Section 6 by any DAL
Representative.  If required by law or regulation to disclose such
confidential information, DAL shall provide written notice to Consultant of such
requirement promptly after receipt of notice thereof and shall not comply with
such requirement prior to providing such notice to the extent permitted by
law.  DAL and each DAL Representative that possesses any such
confidential information shall refrain from reproducing such information (unless
Consultant provides prior written consent to such reproduction) and shall
promptly, upon Consultant’s written request or the earlier termination of this
Agreement, return all such confidential information to
Consultant.

    

     

    7. Liability.  Neither
Consultant nor any of its Representatives shall be liable to DAL or its
subsidiaries or Affiliates for any loss, liability, damage or expense arising
out of or in connection with the performance of the Services, other than any
loss, liability, damage or expense arising out of Consultant’s fraud,
intentional misconduct, gross negligence, bad faith, knowing misconduct or
material breach of Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement.

     

    8. Indemnification.  DAL
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Consultant and its Representatives against
and from any and all loss, liability, suits, claims, and damages (including
attorneys’ fees relating to defending the same) arising from their performance
hereunder; provided, however, that Consultant shall not be held harmless or
indemnified under this Section 8 for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising
out of Consultant’s or its Representatives’ fraud, intentional misconduct, gross
negligence, bad faith, knowing misconduct or material breach of Consultant’s
obligations under this Agreement.  Consultant and its Representatives
will not, without DAL’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, settle, consent to the entry of any judgment in or
otherwise seek to terminate any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding
referred to herein.  Promptly after receipt by Consultant or its
Representatives of service of any complaint or actual notice of the commencement
of any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding with respect to which
indemnification is being sought hereunder, such person will notify DAL in
writing of the same, but failure to so notify DAL in writing of the same will
relieve DAL of its obligation to indemnify such person only if and only to the
extent of any actual and material prejudice suffered by DAL as a result
thereof.  DAL shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such
action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding; provided, that any such
assumption by DAL shall constitute an acknowledgment by DAL of its obligation to
indemnify and hold harmless Consultant or its Representatives, as the case may
be, for any loss, liability, suits, claims, and damages (including attorneys’
fees relating to defending the same) arising from the subject matter
thereof.  Upon such assumption by DAL of the defense of any such
action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding, the Consultant and its
Representatives shall have the right to participate in the same and to retain
their own counsel but DAL shall not be liable for any legal expenses of other
counsel subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the
defense thereof.

    9. Entire Agreement;
Amendment.  With respect to the subject matter of this
Agreement, this Agreement supersedes all previous contracts and constitutes the
entire agreement between the Parties.  Neither Party will be entitled
to benefits other than those specified herein.  No prior oral
statements or contemporaneous negotiations or understandings or prior written
material not specifically incorporated herein will be of any force and effect,
and no changes in or additions to this Agreement will be recognized unless
incorporated herein by amendment as provided herein, such amendment(s) to become
effective on the date stipulated in such amendment(s).  No provision
of this Agreement shall be deemed waived, amended, supplemented or modified by
any Party, unless such wavier, amendment, supplement or modification is in
writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Party against whom it
is sought to enforce such waiver, amendment, supplement or
modification.  The Parties specifically acknowledge that, in entering
into and executing this Agreement, the Parties rely solely upon the
representations and agreements contained in this Agreement and no others, other
than agreements or provisions incorporated in this Agreement by
reference.

     

    10. Governing Law; Venue;
Jurisdiction.  This Agreement, and all matters arising under or
related hereto, shall be governed according to the laws of the State of Florida,
without respect to its conflict of law principles.  Each Party hereby
consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Florida and
of the United States of America in the County of Broward for any actions, suits
or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby (and each Party agrees not to commence any action, suit or
proceeding relating thereto except in such courts).

    or such
other address, or to the attention of such other person or officer, as any Party
may by written notice designate.  Any notice, demand, or communication
required, permitted, or desired to be given hereunder will be sent either by
hand delivery, by prepaid certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid in the United States Mail, by a nationally recognized
overnight courier, or via facsimile or other electronic transmission (including
transmission in portable document format by electronic mail).  If any
notice, demand or communication is sent by facsimile or electronic mail
transmission, an original  must be simultaneously sent by one of the
foregoing mail or courier methods.  All such notices, demands or
communications shall be deemed to have been received (i) if by personal
delivery, facsimile machine or other electronic transmission (including
transmission in portable document format by electronic mail), on the date
immediately following the date of such delivery, (ii) if by certified or
registered mail, on the third business day after the mailing thereof or (iii) if
by next-day or overnight courier or delivery, on the date of such
delivery.

    

    12. Severability.  The
Parties have negotiated and prepared the terms of this Agreement in good faith
with the intent that each and every one of the terms, covenants and conditions
herein be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective
Parties.  Accordingly, if any one or more of the terms, provisions,
promises, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the application thereof
to any person or circumstance is adjudged to any extent invalid, unenforceable,
void or voidable for any reason whatsoever by a court of competent jurisdiction
or an arbitration tribunal, such provision will be as narrowly construed as
possible, and each and all of the remaining terms, provisions, promises,
covenants and conditions of this Agreement or their application to other persons
or circumstances will not be affected thereby and will be valid and enforceable
to the fullest extent permitted by law.  To the extent this Agreement
is in violation of any applicable laws, the Parties shall negotiate in good
faith to amend this Agreement, to the extent possible consistent with its
purposes, to conform to applicable laws.  Neither Party shall claim or
assert illegality as a defense to the enforcement of this Agreement or any
provision hereof; instead, any such purported illegality shall be resolved
pursuant to this Section
12.

     

    13. Assignment.  This
Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.  Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 13 will be
void and of no effect.  Except for an assignment of this Agreement by
Consultant to any of its Affiliates, Consultant may not delegate the performance
of any Services to be provided under this Agreement to any party, other than one
or more of its Representatives that normally performs such Services, provided,
however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Consultant shall remain fully
responsible for compliance with the terms of this Agreement the same as if such
delegation were not effected.

    14. Further
Assurances.  Each Party agrees to do and perform, from time to
time, any and all acts and to execute any and all further instruments required
or reasonably requested by the other Party in order to more fully effect the
purposes of this Agreement.

     

    15. No Waiver; Cumulative
Remedies.  No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising,
on the part of a Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or
privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein
provided are cumulative and not exhaustive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by law.

     

    16. Counterparts;
Effectiveness.  The Parties may execute this Agreement in
separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of
which together will constitute one and the same instrument.  To the
extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic
transmission (including transmission in portable document format by electronic
mail), this Agreement shall be treated in all manner and respect and for all
purposes as an original and shall have the same binding legal effect as if it
were the original signed version thereof delivered in person.  None of
the undersigned shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic
transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that such signature was
transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other
electronic transmission as a defense to the enforceability of this Agreement and
each of the undersigned forever waives any such defense.

     

    17. Definitions

    (i) All
provisions of this Agreement have been mutually negotiated and
drafted.  The provisions of this Agreement will be interpreted and
construed in accordance with their fair meanings, and not strictly for or
against either Party, regardless of which Party may have drafted this Agreement
or any specific provision.

     

    18. Enforcement.  In the
event either Party resorts to legal action to enforce or interpret any provision
of this Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled to recover the costs
and expenses of such action so incurred, including reasonable attorney’s
fees.
