Dear Mr. Muhuri:

RE:  MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT 

This letter agreement (the “Agreement”)
sets forth the services to be provided by Nepal Muhuri (“Nepal”) to Growers
Direct Coffee Company, Inc. (the “Company”) and the terms and conditions under
which such services shall be performed (the “Engagement”). 

1. Engagement. Subject to the terms
set forth herein, the Company hereby engages Nepal and retains Nepal to serve as
the Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company and Nepal hereby
accepts the position of Chief Financial Officer and Secretary effective as of
November 20, 2008 (the “Effective Date”). 

2. Duties. Nepal will perform such
duties customarily performed by the Secretary and Chief Financial Officer and
such other duties as reasonably requested by the Chairman or the Board of
Directors of the Company (the “Board”). These duties will include, but not be
limited to, signing SEC filings and certifications required by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

3. Term. The term of Nepal’s
Engagement hereunder shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue on
a year-to-year basis until terminated by either party upon sixty days prior
written notice to the other party. In the event of termination prior to the end
of a calendar month, the Company shall pay Nepal fees for the full month for the
portion of the month that the Engagement was effective. 

4. Compensation. The Company shall
make monthly management fee payment of five thousand dollars ($5,000) to Nepal,
in arrears, on the 25th day of each month.  In consideration of services to
be rendered under this Agreement, Nepal shall be paid a non refundable contract
execution bonus through issuance of one million five hundred thousand
(1,500,000) restricted common shares. These shares shall be issued on the
Effective Date.  

After twelve month, Nepal’s monthly
management fee payment will increase to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per
month.  

5. Expense Reimbursement. Nepal
 will be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Company or paid by Nepal  on behalf of the Company including,
but not limited to, use of office space, reproduction, typing, computer usage,
employees, legal counsel (including legal counsel retained to negotiate and
draft this Agreement) and other similar direct expenses and any and all taxes
(other than state, local and federal income taxes) on any of the foregoing,
provided, however, that such out-of-pocket expenses shall not exceed $1,000 per
month without Board approval. Expenses for ordinary course travel on Company
business will not be subject to the $1,000 monthly limitation.  Nepal will
be reimbursed within 30 days of submission of reasonable documentation for such
expenses.  In no event, will Nepal be reimbursed later than 30 days
following the close of the calendar year in which such expenses were incurred.

6. Severance Payment. If the Company
at its sole discretion terminates the Engagement anytime without cause, after
the Effective Date, Nepal will receive a severance payment equal to ten thousand
dollars ($10,000). Nepal will not receive any severance payment if terminated by
the Company anytime after the Effective Date with cause.  “Cause” shall be
defined as any act or series of acts which are illegal, negligent, constitute
willful misconduct, immoral, or otherwise have impact on the Company and/or its
business activities.     

7. Deferred Compensation. Any
nonqualified deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code) payable under this Agreement on account of the
completion or termination of the Engagement shall be delayed to the minimum
extent and in the minimum amount necessary so as to comply with 

Section 409A and the regulations thereunder; provided,
however, that the bonus set forth in Section 5 shall be paid immediately if
there is a change of control within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal
Revenue Code regardless of whether there is a termination. 

 

8. Benefits and Taxes. Nepal shall
be entitled to any benefits paid by the Company to its employees. Nepal shall be
solely responsible for any tax consequences applicable to Nepal by reason of
this Agreement and the services performed hereunder. The Company shall not be
responsible for the payment of any federal, state or local taxes or
contributions imposed under any employment insurance, social security, income
tax or other tax law or regulation with respect to Nepal ’s performance of
management services hereunder. Nepal agrees to indemnify and hold the Company
harmless for any taxes, interest or penalties imposed upon the Company arising
from or in connection with the Engagement. 

9. Confidential Information, Rights and
Duties. 

(a) Nepal
 specifically agrees that he shall not at any time, either during or
subsequent to the term of the Engagement, in any fashion, form or manner, either
directly or indirectly, unless expressly consented to in writing by the Company,
use, divulge, disclose or communicate to any person or entity any confidential
information of any kind, nature or description concerning any matters affecting
or relating to the business of the Company, including, but not limited to: the
Company’s sales and marketing methods, programs and related data, or other
written records used in the Company’s business; the Company’s computer
processes, programs and codes; the names, addresses, buying habits or practices
of any of its clients or customers; compensation paid to other employees and
independent contractors and other terms of any employment or contractual
relationships; or any other confidential information of, about or concerning the
business of the Company, its manner of operations, or other data of any kind,
nature or description. The parties to this Agreement hereby stipulate that, as
between them, the above information and items are important, material and
confidential trade secrets that affect the successful conduct of the Company’s
business and its good will, and that any breach of any term of this section is a
material breach of this Agreement. All equipment, notebooks, documents,
memoranda, reports, files, samples, books, correspondence, lists or other
written and graphic records, and the like, including tangible or intangible
computer programs, records and data, affecting or relating to the business of
the Company, which Nepal  might prepare, use, construct, observe, posses or
control, shall be and shall remain the Company’s sole property. 

(b) For purposes of this
Agreement, the term “confidential information” shall not include any information
that: (i) has been made public by the Company (other than by acts of Nepal
 in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality);
(ii) Nepal  is legally compelled to disclose; provided that Nepal
 notifies the Company of such proposed disclosure in as far in advance of
its disclosure as is practicable and uses his best efforts to obtain assurances
that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information; or (iii) is
otherwise publicly available other than through disclosure by a party in breach
of a confidentiality obligation with respect thereto. 

(c) Any wrongful
interference with the Company’s business, property, confidential information,
trade secrets, clients, customers, employees or independent contractors by Nepal
or any of their agents after the term of the Engagement shall be treated and
acknowledged by the parties as a material breach of this Agreement. 

(d) Nepal’s duties under
this Section 10 shall survive termination of the Engagement. Nepal acknowledges
that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach by Nepal of the
provisions of this Section 10 would be inadequate, and Nepal agrees that the
Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of any such breach or
threatened breach. 

10. Indemnification and D&O
Insurance. The Company shall indemnify, forever defend, and hold Nepal free
and harmless from any and all liabilities, assessments, obligations, debts,
damages, fees, fines, penalties, interest, judgments, liens or other claims that
may ever be claimed to exist against Nepal as a result of Nepal’s work on behalf
of Company and/or as a result of Nepal executing this Agreement, except to the
extent resulting from Nepal’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The Company shall enter into an
indemnification agreement with Nepal in the form entered into with each of the
Company’s officers and directors. Such indemnification Agreement shall be
effective upon the Effective Date. The Company will furnish Nepal with a copy of
its current D&O liability policy and will agree to consult with Nepal if the
Company intends to decrease the coverage currently provided. 

11. Dispute Resolution
  In the instance of a dispute between the Company and Nepal that
is incapable of being resolved by them to their mutual satisfaction, after good
faith resolution negotiations, and within thirty (30) days of 

2

the formal
notification from Nepal or Company of such dispute, the complaining Nepal shall
have the right to seek such remedies as are available at law and in equity, as
shall the Company.  In the event of any breach of this Agreement, the
provisions of this Agreement may be enforceable in a court of equity by a decree
of specific performance.  Any equitable remedy shall not be exclusive and
shall be in addition to any other remedy available.

12. General Provisions. 

(a) Notices. Any
notices provided hereunder must be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon
the earlier of personal delivery or duly sent by certified mail, postage
prepaid; by an overnight delivery service, charges prepaid; or by confirmed
telecopy, to the Company at its primary office location and to Nepal at the
following address: 2813 7th Street, Berkeley.  

(b) Severability.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect
under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other
jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in
such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had
never been contained herein or therein 

(c) Waiver. If
either party should waive any breach of any provision of this Agreement, he or
it shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or succeeding breach
of the same or any other provision of this Agreement. 

(d) Complete
Agreement. This Agreement, the stock option agreement and the
indemnification agreement to be effective upon the Effective Date constitute the
entire agreement between Nepal and the Company and it is the complete, final,
and exclusive embodiment of their agreement and supersedes any prior agreement
written or otherwise between Nepal and the Company with regard to this subject
matter.  It is entered into without reliance on any promise or
representation other than those expressly contained herein or therein, and it
cannot be modified or amended except in a writing signed by Nepal and the
Chairman of the Board.  

(e) Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, any one of which need
not contain signatures of more than one party, but all of which taken together
will constitute one and the same agreement or plan. 

(f) Headings. The
headings of the sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not
be deemed to constitute a part hereof or thereof nor to affect the meaning
thereof. 

(g) Successors and
Assigns. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by Nepal  and the Company and their respective successors,
assigns, heirs, executors and administrators, except that Nepal  may not
assign any of their duties hereunder and may not assign any of their rights
hereunder without the written consent of the Company. 

(h) Attorney
Fees. If either party hereto brings any action to enforce his or its rights
hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to recover
his or its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such
action. In no event, will a party entitled to reimbursement be reimbursed later
than thirty days following the close of the calendar year in which in such
action is finally resolved. 

(i) Arbitration.
To provide a mechanism for rapid and economical dispute resolution, Nepal and
the Company agree that any and all disputes, claims, or causes of action, in law
or equity, arising from or relating to this Agreement or its respective
enforcement, performance, breach, or interpretation, will be resolved, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, by final, binding, and confidential arbitration
before a single arbitrator held in Las Vegas, Nevada and conducted by Judicial
Arbitration & Mediation Services/Endispute (“JAMS”), under its then-existing
Rules and Procedures. The parties shall be entitled to conduct adequate
discovery, and they may obtain all remedies available to the parties as if the
matter had been tried in court. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision
which specifies the findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the
arbitrator’s decision is based. Judgment upon the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. Unless
otherwise required by law, the arbitrator will award reasonable expenses
(including reimbursement of the assigned arbitration costs) to the prevailing
party. Nothing in this Section 12(i) or in this Agreement is intended to
prevent Nepal or the Company from obtaining injunctive relief in court to
prevent irreparable harm pending the conclusion of any such arbitration. 

(j) Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation
of this Agreement will be governed by the law of the Nevada as applied to
contracts made excluding the rules on conflicts of law. 

(k) Currency.
 All dollar amounts stated in this Agreement are in United States dollars.

If you are in agreement
with the terms set forth herein, please sign and return a copy of this Agreement
to me. 

Yours truly

      (b) 
Each grant or sale may limit the Participant’s dividend rights during the period
in which the shares of Restricted Shares are subject to any such
restrictions.

       

      (c)  Each grant or sale will provide that the
Restricted Shares will be subject, for a period to be determined by the
Committee at the Date of Grant, to one or more restrictions, including without
limitation a restriction that constitutes a “substantial risk of forfeiture”
within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code and the regulations of the
Internal
Revenue Service under such section.  Except as provided in Section

result in the termination or early termination of the restrictions applicable to
the shares, provided that the Performance Period associated with such Management
Objectives will be a period of no less than 12 calendar months.

       

      (e) 
Any grant or sale may provide for the early termination of any such restrictions
in the event of a Change in Control or other similar transaction or event or the
Participant’s termination of employment or service by reason of death,
disability, retirement or otherwise.

       

      (f) 
Each grant or sale will provide that during the period for which such
restriction or restrictions are to continue, the transferability of the
Restricted Shares will be prohibited or restricted in a manner and to the extent
prescribed by the Committee at the Date of Grant (which restrictions may include
without limitation rights of repurchase or first refusal in favor of the Company
or provisions subjecting the Restricted Shares to continuing restrictions in the
hands of any transferee).

       

      (g) 
Any grant or sale may provide for the effect on the Restricted Shares or any
shares of Common Stock issued free of restrictions, or other payment made, with

the Committee to be injurious, detrimental or prejudicial to any significant
interest of the Company or any Subsidiary.

authorizations, and will be subject to all of the requirements, contained in the
following provisions:

       

      (a)

During the Deferral Period, the Participant will not have any right to transfer
any rights under the Restricted Stock Units, and will not have any rights of

in settlement of Restricted Stock Units, but the Committee may on or after the
Date of Grant authorize the payment of dividend equivalents on such shares in

      (h) 
Each grant will be evidenced by an Evidence of Award, which will contain such
terms and provisions as the Committee may determine consistent with the Plan,
including without limitation provisions relating to the payment of the
Performance Shares or Performance Units in the event of a Change in Control or

      11. 
Senior
Executive Plan Bonuses.  The Committee may from time to time
authorize the payment of annual incentive compensation to a Participant who is a

            12

      12. 
Awards to
Eligible Directors.

       

      (a)
 Each
individual who first becomes an Eligible Director after December 31, 2008,
on a date subsequent to the first business day of a calendar year will be
granted (i) a number of Restricted Shares as of the date such individual
becomes an Eligible Director equal to $49,500 (if the individual becomes an
Eligible Director prior to July 1 of any year) or $24,750 (if the individual
becomes an Eligible Director on or after July 1 of any year) divided by the
Market Value per Share as of the date the individual first becomes an Eligible
Director, and (ii) a Stock Option as of the date the individual first
becomes an Eligible Director to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to $49,500 (if the individual becomes an Eligible Director prior to
July 1 of any year) or $24,750 (if the individual becomes an Eligible
Director on or after July 1 of any year) divided by the Fair Value (as
hereinafter defined).  For purposes of this Section ‎12‎(a),
an Eligible Director who ceases to be a member of the Board and thereafter
becomes an Eligible Director again will be deemed to first become an Eligible
Director on the date that such individual again becomes an Eligible
Director.

      
         

        (b)
 On the first business day of each calendar year beginning during the term
of the Plan and after December 31, 2008, each individual who is an Eligible
Director (i) will be granted as of such first business day a number of
Restricted Shares equal to $49,500 divided by the Market Value per Share as of
that date, (ii) will be granted as of such first business day a Stock
Option to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock determined by dividing
$49,500 by the Fair Value as of that date, and (iii) may elect to receive
either an additional grant of Restricted Shares or a Stock Option to purchase
shares of Common Stock in lieu of all or any portion of additional cash
compensation of $106,000, provided that, in either case, the Eligible Director
has elected in writing on or prior to the last day of the preceding calendar
year to receive the Restricted Shares or the Stock Option described in this
Section ‎12‎(b)(iii)
in lieu of an equivalent amount of cash compensation from the
Company.  If applicable, the number of Restricted Shares to
be

      

       

      
        
          
             

          

          
            13

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      
        granted
under Section 12(b)(iii) will be determined by dividing the amount of cash
compensation the Restricted Shares are replacing by the Market Value per Share
as of such first business day of the calendar year, and the number of shares
covered by a Stock Option elected under Section 12(b)(iii) will be determined by
dividing the amount of cash compensation the Stock Option is replacing by the
Fair Value as of such first business day of the calendar year.

         

        (c) 
For
purposes of this Section 12, “Fair Value” means either the Black Scholes
Value (described below) or the value of a Stock Option to purchase one share of
Common Stock calculated using such other valuation methodology as may at the
time of grant be used by the Company to value Stock Options for financial
reporting purposes, in each case calculated as of the date of grant of the Stock
Option.  For this purpose, “Black Scholes Value” means the value of a
Stock Option to purchase one share of Common Stock calculated using the Black
Scholes option value model.  Unless otherwise provided by the Board
prior to the applicable date of grant, the Black Scholes option valuation for a
Stock Option to be granted on any date will be based on the following
assumptions:

         

      

      (i) 
the then current price of a share of Common Stock is equal to the Market Value
per Share of Common Stock as of the date of grant of the Stock
Option;

       

      (ii) 
the per share Option Price is equal to the Market Value per Share of Common
Stock as of the date of grant of the Stock Option;

       

      (iii) 
the time until expiration of the Stock Option is equal to the actual time until
expiration of the Stock Option (determined without regard to the provisions of
Sections 12(e)(vii) and 12(e)(viii));

       

      (iv) 
the risk-free interest rate is the asked yield rate, as of the business day
preceding the date of grant of the Stock Option and as reported in the Wall
Street Journal, for the U.S. Treasury Note or Bond having a maturity date that
is closest to the date that is five years after the date of grant of the Stock
Option;

       

      (v) 
the volatility of the price of the Common Stock is calculated based on the
closing price of a share of Common Stock on the last trading day of each month
for each of the 60 months preceding the month in which the date of grant of the
Stock Option occurs; and

       

      (vi) 
the dividend yield on the Common Stock equals the rate determined by dividing
the product of four and the most recent quarterly dividend on the Common Stock
as of the date of grant of the Stock Option by the Market Value per Share of
Common Stock as of the date of grant of the Stock Option.

       

      (d) 
Each grant of Restricted Shares to an Eligible Director may utilize any or all
of the authorizations, and will be subject to all of the requirements, contained
in the following provisions:

       

      
        
          
             

          

          
            14

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      
        (i)  At the time of grant of Restricted Shares to
an Eligible Director, either (A) a stock certificate evidencing the shares
of Common Stock granted will be registered in the Eligible Director’s name to be
held by the Company for his or her account or (B) an appropriate
entry evidencing the Eligible Director’s ownership of the shares of Common Stock
granted will be made in the stock ownership records or other books and records
maintained by or on behalf of the Company.  The Eligible Director will
have the entire beneficial ownership interest in, and all rights and privileges
of a stockholder as to, such Restricted Shares, including the right to vote such
Restricted Shares and, unless the Board will determine otherwise, the right to
receive dividends thereon, subject to the following: (1) subject to
Section 12(d)(iii), the Eligible Director will not be entitled to delivery
of any stock certificate evidencing such Restricted Shares until the expiration
of the restriction period described in Section 12(d)(ii); (2) none of the
Restricted Shares may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or otherwise
encumbered or disposed of during the restriction period; and (3) all of the
Restricted Shares will be forfeited and all rights of the Eligible Director to
the Restricted Shares will terminate without further obligation on the part of
the Company unless the Eligible Director remains as a member of the Board for
the entire restriction period, except as provided by
Section 12(d)(iii).  Any shares of Common Stock or other
securities or property received as a result of a transaction described in
Section 14 will be subject to the same restrictions as such Restricted
Shares.

      

       

      (ii) 
Each grant of Restricted Shares under Section 12(a) or 12(b)(i) will become
nonforfeitable and the restrictions described in Section 12(d)(i) will
expire as to 1/3rd of the total number of shares subject thereto on each of the
first three anniversaries of the date of grant of Restricted Shares; provided,
in each case, that the Eligible Director who received the Restricted Shares has
remained a member of the Board through each such anniversary
date.  Each grant of Restricted Shares under Section 12(b)(iii) will
become nonforfeitable and the restrictions described in Section 12(d)(i)
will expire as to the total number of shares subject thereto on the first
anniversary of the date of grant of Restricted Shares; provided, in each case,
that the Eligible Director who received the Restricted Shares has remained a
member of the Board through such anniversary date.

       

      (iii) 
Except as provided in an Evidence of Award, upon an Eligible Director’s ceasing
to be a member of the Board prior to the end of a restriction period for any
reason, the Eligible Director will immediately forfeit all Restricted Shares
then subject to the restrictions of Section 12(d)(i), unless the Board, in
its discretion, allows the Eligible Director to retain any or all of the
Restricted Shares then subject to such restrictions, in which case the
restriction period applicable to the retained shares will immediately expire and
all restrictions applicable to the retained shares will immediately
lapse.

       

      (iv) 
At the end of the restriction period, or at such earlier time as provided for in
Section 12(d)(iii) or as the Board, in its sole discretion,
may

       

      
         

        
          
             

          

          
            15

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      otherwise
determine, all restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares will lapse and,
if the Restricted Shares are evidenced by a stock certificate, a stock
certificate evidencing a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of
Restricted Shares, free of all restrictions, will be delivered to the Eligible
Director.

       

      (e) 
Each grant of Stock Options to an Eligible Director may utilize any or all of
the authorizations, and will be subject to all the requirements, contained in
the following provisions:

       

      (i) 
Each grant will specify the Option Price, which will equal 100% of the Market
Value per Share on the Date of Grant.

       

      
        (ii) Each
Stock Option will be exercisable only to the extent that it is
vested.  Each Stock Option granted under Section 12(a) or
12(b)(ii) will vest as to 1/3rd of the total number of shares of Common Stock
subject thereto (rounded up to the nearest whole share) on each of the first
three anniversaries of the date of grant of the Stock Option; provided, in each
case, that the Eligible Director who received the Stock Option has remained a
member of the Board through each such anniversary date.  Except as may
otherwise be provided in the agreement evidencing the Stock Option or as
determined by the Board, each Stock Option granted under Section 12(b)(iii) will
vest as to 1/12th of the total number of shares of Common Stock subject thereto
(rounded up to the nearest whole share) on the last day of the first full
calendar month following the date of grant of the Stock Option, as to 1/12th of
the total number of shares subject thereto (rounded up to the nearest whole
share) on the last day of each of the 10 succeeding calendar months, and as to
the balance of the shares of Common Stock subject thereto on the last day of the
calendar month preceding the one-year anniversary of the date of grant of the
Stock Option; provided, in each case, that the Eligible Director who received
the Stock Option has remained a member of the Board through the respective
vesting date.

         

      

      (iii) 
No Stock Option will be exercisable more than ten years from the Date of
Grant.

       

      (iv) 
Each Stock Option granted to an Eligible Director will be a nonqualified stock
option and will not be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code.

       

      (v) 
Each grant will specify whether the Option Price will be payable (i) in
cash or by check acceptable to the Company, (ii) by the actual or
constructive transfer to the Company of shares of Common Stock owned by the
Eligible Director and having an aggregate Market Value per Share at the date of
exercise equal to the aggregate Option Price, (iii) by authorizing the
Company to withhold a number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable to the
Eligible Director having an aggregate Market Value per Share on the date of
exercise equal to the aggregate Option Price, (iv) by a combination of such
methods of

       

      
        
          
             

          

          
            16

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      payment or (v) by any other method
of payment approved by the Board; provided, however, that the payment methods
described in clauses (ii) and (iii) will not be available at any time that the
Company is prohibited from purchasing or acquiring such shares of Common
Stock.

       

      (vi) 
During an Eligible Director’s lifetime, the Stock Option may be exercised only
by the Eligible Director.  Stock Options will not be transferable,
except for exercise by the Eligible Director’s legal representatives or heirs;
provided, however, that an Eligible Director may, with prior approval from the
Board (or
its designee), transfer an exercisable Stock Option to (A) a member or
members of the Eligible Director’s immediate family, (B) a trust, the
beneficiaries of which consist exclusively of members of the Eligible Director’s
immediate family, (C) a partnership, the partners of which consist
exclusively of members of the Eligible Director’s immediate family, or
(D) any similar entity created for the exclusive benefit of members of the
Eligible Director’s immediate family.  The Board or its designee must
approve the form of any transfer of a Stock Option to or for the benefit of any
immediate family member or members before such transfer will be recognized as
valid hereunder.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, any remote,
contingent interest of persons other than a member of the Eligible Director’s
immediate family will be disregarded.  For purposes of this
Section 12(e)(vi), immediate family means an Eligible Director’s spouse,
children and grandchildren, including step and adopted children and
grandchildren.

       

      (vii) 
Upon an Eligible Director’s ceasing to be a member of the Board for any reason
other than death, each Stock Option of such Eligible Director will be
exercisable only as to those shares of Common Stock which were then subject to
the exercise of such Stock Option.  The Stock Option will expire:
(A) unless exercised, five years after the Eligible Director’s retirement
from the Board if the Eligible Director retires at or after age 55 with at least
five years of service on the Board; (B) unless exercised, five years after
the date the Eligible Director’s service on the Board is terminated due to the
Eligible Director’s total and permanent disability; (C) upon the Eligible
Director’s service on the Board being terminated for cause pursuant to Section
141(k) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (or any successor provision); or
(D) unless exercised, three months after the date of such
termination.  In no event, however, will any Stock Option be
exercisable pursuant to this Section 12(e)(vii) after the tenth anniversary
of the Date of Grant or after any earlier termination in accordance with the
terms of the agreement evidencing the Stock Option.

       

      (viii) 
Upon the death of an Eligible Director during his or her term of service on the
Board, a Stock Option will be exercisable only as to those shares of Common
Stock which were subject to the exercise of the Stock Option at the time of his
or her death.  The Stock Option will expire, unless exercised by the
Eligible Director’s legal representatives or heirs, five years after the date of
death.  In no event, however, will any Stock Option be exercisable
pursuant to this Section 12(e)(viii) after the tenth anniversary of the
Date of Grant or after any

      
         

        
          
             

          

          
            17

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        
 

      earlier termination in accordance
with the terms of the agreement evidencing the Stock Option.

         

        (ix)  Except as otherwise determined by the Board,
the vesting schedule applicable to a Stock Option requires continued service
through each applicable vesting date as a condition to the vesting of the
applicable installment of the Stock Option.  Service for only a
portion of a vesting period, even if substantial, will not entitle the Eligible
Director to any proportionate vesting or avoid or mitigate a termination
of rights and benefits upon or following a termination of service as a Board
member as provided in Section 12(e)(vii) or
12(e)(viii).

         

      

      13. 
Transferability.  Except
as provided in Section 12(f)(vi) or as otherwise authorized by the Committee, no
Award may be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by
will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic
relations order; provided, however, that a Participant who is an officer of the
Company may, with the prior approval of the Committee, transfer a Stock Option
that is not intended to be an “incentive stock option” (within the meaning of
Section 422 of the Code) to family members of the Participant, including to
trusts in which family members of the Participant own more than 50% of the
beneficial interests, to foundations in which family members of the Participant
or the Participant controls the management of assets and to other entities in
which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by family members of the
Participant or the Participant.  Except as otherwise authorized by the
Committee, no Stock Option or Appreciation Right granted to a Participant will
be exercisable during the Participant’s lifetime by any person other than the
Participant or the Participant’s guardian or legal representative or any
permitted transferee.

       

      14. 
Adjustments.

       

      (a) 
The Committee will make or provide for such adjustments in (i) the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock specified in Sections ‎4
and ‎5,
(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock covered by outstanding Stock
Options, Appreciation Rights, Performance Shares and Restricted Stock Units
granted under the Plan, (iii) the Option Price or Grant Price applicable to
any Stock Options and Appreciation Rights, and (iv) the kind of shares
covered by any such Awards (including shares of another issuer), as is equitably
required to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of Participants that
otherwise would result from (x) any stock dividend, stock split,
combination or exchange of shares, recapitalization or other change in the
capital structure of the Company, or (y) any merger, consolidation,
separation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or
complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or
warrants to purchase securities, or (z) any other corporate transaction or
event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing.  In the event
of any such transaction or event, the Committee, in its discretion, may provide
in substitution for any or all outstanding Awards such alternative consideration
as it, in good faith, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may
require in connection with such substitution the surrender of all Awards so
replaced.

       

      (b) 
The Committee may accelerate the payment of, or vesting with respect to, any
Award under the Plan upon the occurrence of a transaction or event described in
this

       

      
        
          
             

          

          
            18

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      
        Section ‎14;
provided, however, that in the case of any Award that constitutes a deferral of
compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Committee
will not accelerate the payment of the Award unless it determines in good faith
that such transaction or event satisfies the requirements of a change in control
event under guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury under
Section 409A of the Code.

      

       

      
        15. 
Fractional
Shares.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will be
required to deliver any fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to the
Plan.  The Committee may provide for the elimination of fractions or
for the settlement of fractions in cash.

         

      

      16. 
Withholding
Taxes.  To the extent that the Company or a Subsidiary is
required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with
any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under the
Plan, and the amounts available to the Company or the Subsidiary for such
withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such
payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other
person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance
of such taxes required to be withheld.  If a Participant’s Award is to
be paid in the form of shares of Common Stock and the Participant fails to make
arrangements for the payment of tax, the Company or the Subsidiary may withhold
shares of Common Stock having a value equal to the amount required to be
withheld.  In addition, if permitted by the Committee, the Participant
or such other person may elect to have any withholding obligation of the Company
or the Subsidiary satisfied with shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
transferred to the Participant or such other person in payment of the
Participant’s Award.  However, without the consent of the Committee,
shares of Common Stock will not be withheld in excess of the minimum number of
shares required to satisfy the withholding obligation of the Company or the
Subsidiary.

       

      17. 
Administration
of the Plan.

       

      (a)  Unless
the administration of the Plan has been expressly assumed by the Board pursuant
to a resolution of the Board, the Plan will be administered by the Committee,
which at all times will consist of three or more Directors appointed by the
Board, all of whom are intended (i) to meet all applicable independence
requirements of the New York Stock Exchange or the principal national securities
exchange or principal market on or in which the Common Stock is traded and
(ii) to qualify as “non-employee directors” as defined in Rule 16b-3 and as
“outside directors” as defined in regulations adopted under Section 162(m)
of the Code, as such terms may be amended from time to time; provided, however,
that the failure of a member of the Committee to so qualify will not invalidate
any Award granted under the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
provisions of Section 12 will be administered by the Board.  A
majority of the Committee will constitute a quorum, and the action of the
members of the Committee present at any meeting at which a quorum is present, or
acts unanimously approved in writing, will be the acts of the
Committee.

       

      (b) 
The Committee has the full authority and discretion to administer the Plan and
to take any action that is necessary or advisable in connection with the
administration of the Plan, including without limitation the authority and
discretion to interpret and construe any provision of the Plan or of any
agreement, notification or document

      
        
          
             

          

          
            19

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      
        evidencing
an Award.  The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any
such provision and any determination by the Committee pursuant to any provision
of the Plan or of any such agreement, notification or document will be final and
conclusive.  No member of the Committee will be liable for any such
action or determination made in good faith.

         

        (c)  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Committee may delegate its authority under the Plan to a subcommittee of the
Committee, to one or more committees of the Board or to one or more executive
officers of the Company; provided, however, that no delegation may be made of
authority to take an action which is required by Rule 16b-3 to
be taken by “non-employee directors” in order that the Plan and transactions
thereunder meet the requirements of such Rule.

      

       

      (d) 
It is the Company’s intention that any Award granted under the Plan that
constitutes a deferral of compensation within the meaning of Section 409A
of the Code and the guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury under
Section 409A satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.  In
granting such an Award, the Committee will use its best efforts to exercise its
authority under the Plan with respect to the terms of such Award in a manner
that the Committee determines in good faith will cause the Award to comply with
Section 409A and thereby avoid the imposition of penalty taxes and interest
upon the Participant receiving the Award.  Notwithstanding any
provision of the Plan or an Evidence of Award to the contrary, (i) if the
Company makes a good faith determination that a payment of an Award
(A) constitutes a deferral of compensation for purposes of Section 409A of
the Code, (B) is made to a Participant by reason of his or her “separation
from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) and (C) at
the time such payment would otherwise be made the Participant is a “specified
employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), the payment will be
delayed until the first day of the seventh month following the date of such
separation from service, and (ii) if a Change in Control would be the date of
payment of an Award that is determined to constitute a deferral of compensation,
but the Change in Control does not constitute a change in the ownership or
effective control of the Company, or in the ownership of a substantial portion
of the assets of the Company (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code),
then the date of payment will be determined without regard to the occurrence of
the Change in Control.

       

      (e) 
With respect to the administration of the provisions of Section 12 or if the
administration of the Plan is assumed by the Board pursuant to
Section 17(a), the Board will have the same authority, power, duties,
responsibilities and discretion given to the Committee under the terms of the
Plan.

       

      18. 
Amendments and
Other Matters.

       

      (a) 
The Plan may be amended from time to time by the Board or, with respect to those
provisions of the Plan other than Section 12, the Committee; provided, however,
that the Plan may not be amended without further approval by the stockholders of
the Company if such amendment would result in the Plan no longer satisfying any
applicable requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (or the principal
national securities

       

      
        
          
             

          

          
            20

            
              

            

          

          
             

          

        

      

       

      
        exchange
on which the Common Stock is traded), Rule 16b-3 or Section 162(m) of the
Code.

         

        (b)  Neither the Committee nor the Board will
authorize the amendment of any outstanding Stock Option to reduce the Option
Price without the further approval of the stockholders of the
Company.  Furthermore, no Stock Option will be cancelled and replaced
with Stock Options having a lower Option Price without further approval of the
stockholders of the Company.  The provisions of this
Section ‎18‎(b)
are intended to prohibit the repricing of “underwater” Stock Options and will
not be construed to prohibit the adjustments provided for in Section ‎14.

      

       

      (c) 
The Plan may be terminated at any time by action of the Board.  The
termination of the Plan will not adversely affect the terms of any outstanding
Award.

       

      (d) 
The Company will not be required to issue, and neither the Company nor a
Subsidiary will be required to transfer, shares of Common Stock under the Plan
prior to (i) the obtaining of any approval from any governmental agency
which the Company, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or
advisable, (ii) the admission of such shares to listing on any stock
exchange on which the Common Stock may then be listed, and (iii) the
completion of any registration or other qualification of such shares under any
state or Federal law or rulings or regulations of any governmental body which
the Company, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or
advisable.

       

      (e) 
The Plan does not confer upon any Participant any right with respect to
continuance of employment or other service with the Company or any Subsidiary,
nor will it interfere in any way with any right the Company or any Subsidiary
would otherwise have to terminate such Participant’s employment or other service
at any time.

       

      (f) 
If the Committee determines, with the advice of legal counsel, that any
provision of the Plan would prevent the payment of any Award intended to qualify
as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of
the Code from so qualifying, such Plan provision will be invalid and cease to
have any effect without affecting the validity or effectiveness of any other
provision of the Plan.

       

      (g) 
No Participant will have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to
shares of Common Stock subject to an Award prior to the date as of which he or
she is actually recorded as the holder of such shares upon the stock records of
the Company.

       

      19. 
Governing
Law.  The Plan, all Awards and all actions taken under the Plan
and the Awards will be governed in all respects in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, including without limitation, the Delaware statute of
limitations, but without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws of
such State.
