initiative and efforts the Company largely depends for the successful conduct of its business to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. It is anticipated that providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company’s welfare will

	SECTION 2.	ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN; ADMINISTRATOR AUTHORITY TO SELECT GRANTEES AND DETERMINE AWARDS 

  
 (a) Committee. The Plan shall be administered by either the Board or a committee of not less than two Independent
Directors (in either case, the “Administrator”). 
  
 (b)
Powers of Administrator. The Administrator shall have the power and authority to grant Awards consistent with the terms of the Plan, including the power and authority: 
  
 (i) to select the individuals to whom Awards may from time to time be granted; 
  
 (ii) to determine the time or times of grant, and the
extent, if any, of Incentive Stock Options and Non-Qualified Stock Options, or any combination of the foregoing, granted to any one or more grantees; 
  
 (iii) to determine the number of shares of Stock to be covered by any Award; 
  
 (iv) to determine and modify from time to time the terms and
conditions, including restrictions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award, which terms and conditions may differ among individual Awards and grantees, and to approve the form of written instruments evidencing the Awards;

  
 (v) to accelerate at any time the
exercisability or vesting of all or any portion of any Award; 
  
 (vi) subject to the provisions of Section 5(a)(ii), to extend at any time the period in which Stock Options may be exercised; and 
  

 (vii) at any time to adopt, alter and repeal such rules, guidelines and practices for
administration of the Plan and for its own acts and proceedings as it shall deem advisable; to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any Award (including related written instruments); to make all determinations it deems advisable for
the administration of the Plan; to decide all disputes arising in connection with the Plan; and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan. 
  
 All decisions and interpretations of the Administrator shall be binding on all persons, including the Company and Plan grantees. 
  
 (c) Delegation of Authority to Grant Awards. The Administrator, in its
discretion, may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company all or part of the Administrator’s authority and duties with respect to the granting of Awards at Fair Market Value, to individuals who are not subject to the reporting and
other provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Any such delegation by the Administrator shall include a limitation as to the amount of Awards that may be granted
during the period of the delegation and shall contain guidelines as to the determination of the exercise price of any Stock Option and the vesting criteria. The Administrator may revoke or amend the terms of a delegation at any time but such action
shall not invalidate any prior actions of the Administrator’s delegate or delegates that were consistent with the terms of the Plan. 
  
 (d) Indemnification. Neither the Administrator, the Board nor the Committee, nor any member of any of them or any delegatee thereof, shall be
liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Administrator, the Board and the Committee (and any delegatee thereof) shall be entitled in all cases
to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law and/or under
any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage which may be in effect from time to time. 
  

	SECTION 3.	STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE PLAN; MERGERS; SUBSTITUTION 

  
 (a) Stock Issuable. The maximum number of shares of Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 885,000 shares, subject to
adjustment as provided in Section 3(b). For purposes of this limitation, the shares of Stock underlying any Awards which are forfeited, canceled, reacquired by the Company, satisfied without the issuance of Stock or otherwise terminated (other than
by exercise) shall be added back to the shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Subject to such overall limitation, Stock Options with respect to no more than 100,000 shares of Stock may be granted to any one individual grantee during
any one calendar year period. The shares available for issuance under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares of Stock or shares of Stock reacquired by the Company and held in its treasury. 
  
 (b) Changes in Stock. Subject to Section 3(c) hereof, if, as a result
of any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar change in the Company’s capital stock, the outstanding shares of Stock are increased or decreased or are exchanged for
a different number or kind of shares or other securities of the Company, or additional shares or new or different shares or other securities of the Company or other non-cash assets are distributed with respect to such shares of Stock or other
securities, or, if, as a result of any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for a different number or kind of securities of the
Company or any successor entity (or a parent or subsidiary thereof), the Administrator shall make an appropriate or proportionate adjustment in (i) the maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) the number of Stock Options
that can be granted to any one individual grantee, (iii) the number and kind of shares or other securities subject to any then outstanding Awards under the Plan and (iv) the price for each share subject to any then outstanding Stock Options under
the Plan, without changing the aggregate exercise price (i.e., the exercise price multiplied by the number of Stock Options) as to which such Stock Options remain exercisable. The adjustment by the Administrator shall be final, binding and
conclusive. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued under the Plan resulting from any such adjustment, but the Administrator in its discretion may make a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares. 
  

 The Administrator may also adjust the number of shares subject to outstanding Awards and the exercise
price and the terms of outstanding Awards to take into consideration material changes in accounting practices or principles, extraordinary dividends, acquisitions or dispositions of stock or property or any other event if it is determined by the
Administrator that such adjustment is appropriate to avoid distortion in the operation of the Plan, provided that no such adjustment shall be made in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, without the consent of the grantee, if it would constitute a
modification, extension or renewal of the Option within the meaning of Section 424(h) of the Code, and provided further that no such adjustment shall be made in the case of a Stock Option if it would constitute a so-called “repricing” (or
decrease in exercise price) of the Stock Option. 
  
 (c)
Mergers and Other Transactions. In the case of and subject to the consummation of (i) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company on a consolidated basis to an
unrelated person or entity, (iii) a merger, reorganization or consolidation in which the outstanding shares of Stock are converted into or exchanged for a different kind of securities of the successor entity and the holders of the Company’s
outstanding voting power immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the successor entity immediately upon completion of such transaction, or (iv) the sale of all of the Stock of the Company to an
unrelated person or entity (in each case, a “Sale Event”), all Options that are not exercisable immediately prior to the effective time of the Sale Event shall become fully exercisable as of the effective time of the Sale Event, except as
the Administrator may otherwise specify with respect to particular Awards. Upon the effective time of the Sale Event, the Plan and all outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate, unless provision is made in connection with the Sale Event
in the sole discretion of the parties thereto for the assumption or continuation of Awards theretofore granted by the successor entity, or the substitution of such Awards with new Awards of the successor entity or parent thereof, with appropriate
adjustment as to the number and kind of shares and, if appropriate, the per share exercise prices, as such parties shall agree (after taking into account any acceleration hereunder). In the event of such termination, each grantee shall be permitted,
within a specified period of time prior to the consummation of the Sale Event as determined by the Administrator, to exercise all outstanding Options held by such grantee, including those that will become exercisable upon the consummation of the
Sale Event; provided, however, that the exercise of Options not exercisable prior to the Sale Event shall be subject to the consummation of the Sale Event. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(c), in the event of a Sale Event pursuant to which holders of the
Stock of the Company will receive upon consummation thereof a cash payment for each share surrendered in the Sale Event, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make or provide for a cash payment to the grantees holding Options
in exchange for the cancellation thereof, in an amount equal to the difference between (A) the value as determined by the Administrator of the consideration payable per share of Stock pursuant to the Sale Event (the “Sale Price”) times the
number of shares of Stock subject to outstanding Options (to the extent then exercisable at prices not in excess of the Sale Price) and (B) the aggregate exercise price of all such outstanding Options. 
  
 (d) Substitute Awards. The Administrator may grant Awards under the
Plan in substitution for stock and stock based awards held by employees or other key persons of another corporation in connection with the merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company or a Subsidiary or the acquisition by
the Company or a Subsidiary of property or stock of the employing corporation. The Administrator may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Administrator considers appropriate in the circumstances. Any
substitute Awards granted under the Plan shall not count against the share limitation set forth in Section 3(a). 
  

	SECTION 4.	ELIGIBILITY 

  
 Grantees under the Plan will be such full or part-time officers and other employees and key persons (including consultants and prospective employees) of
the Company and its Subsidiaries as are selected from time to time by the Administrator in its sole discretion. 
  

	SECTION 5.	STOCK OPTIONS 

  
 Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve. 
  

 Stock Options granted under the Plan may be either Incentive Stock Options or Non-Qualified Stock
Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary that is a “subsidiary corporation” within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code. To the extent that any Option does not qualify as an
Incentive Stock Option, it shall be deemed a Non-Qualified Stock Option. 
  
 No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted under the Plan after December 17, 2013. 
  
 (a) Stock Options Granted to Employees and Key Persons. The Administrator in its discretion may grant Stock Options to eligible employees and key
persons of the Company or any Subsidiary. Stock Options granted pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and shall contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan,
as the Administrator shall deem desirable. If the Administrator so determines, Stock Options may be granted in lieu of cash compensation at the optionee’s election, subject to such terms and conditions as the Administrator may establish.

  
 (i) Exercise Price. The exercise price
per share for the Stock covered by a Stock Option granted pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall be determined by the Administrator at the time of grant but shall not be less than 100 percent of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (other than
options granted in lieu of cash compensation). If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any
parent corporation or Subsidiary and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the option price of such Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than 110 percent of the Fair Market Value on the grant date. 
  
 (ii) Option Term. The term of each Stock Option shall
be fixed by the Administrator, but no Stock Option shall be exercisable more than 10 years after the date the Stock Option is granted. If an employee owns or is deemed to own (by reason of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more
than 10 percent of the combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent corporation or Subsidiary and an Incentive Stock Option is granted to such employee, the term of such Stock Option shall be no more than five years
from the date of grant. 
  
 (iii)
Exercisability; Rights of a Stockholder. Stock Options shall become exercisable at such time or times, whether or not in installments, as shall be determined by the Administrator at or after the grant date. The Administrator may at any time
accelerate the exercisability of all or any portion of any Stock Option. An optionee shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares acquired upon the exercise of a Stock Option and not as to unexercised Stock Options. 
  
 (iv) Method of Exercise. Stock Options may be
exercised in whole or in part, by giving written notice of exercise to the Company, specifying the number of shares to be purchased. Payment of the purchase price may be made by one or more of the following methods to the extent provided in the
Option Award agreement: 
  
 (A) In cash, by
certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Administrator; 
  
 (B) Through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the optionee on the open market or that have been beneficially owned by the optionee for at least six months
and are not then subject to restrictions under any Company plan. Such surrendered shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise date; or 
  
 (C) By the optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to
promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company for the purchase price; provided that in the event the optionee chooses to pay the purchase price as so provided, the optionee and the broker shall comply with
such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Administrator shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure. 
  

 Payment instruments will be received subject to collection. The delivery of certificates representing the shares of Stock
to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of a Stock Option will be contingent upon receipt from the optionee (or a purchaser acting in his stead in accordance with the provisions of the Stock Option) by the Company of the full purchase price for
such shares and the fulfillment of any other requirements contained in the Option Award agreement or applicable provisions of laws. In the event an optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the
attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the number of shares attested to. 
  
 (v) Annual Limit on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent required for “incentive stock
option” treatment under Section 422 of the Code, the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time of grant) of the shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options granted under this Plan and any other plan of the
Company, or its parent and Subsidiaries, become exercisable for the first time by an optionee during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. To the extent that any Stock Option exceeds this limit, it shall constitute a Non-Qualified Stock
Option. 
  
 (b) Non-transferability of Options. No Stock
Option shall be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the optionee’s lifetime, only by the optionee, or by the optionee’s legal
representative or guardian in the event of the optionee’s incapacity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide in the Award agreement regarding a given Option that the optionee may transfer his
Non-Qualified Stock Options to members of his immediate family, to trusts for the benefit of such family members, or to partnerships in which such family members are the only partners, provided that the transferee agrees in writing with the Company
to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Plan and the applicable Option. 
  

	SECTION 6.	TAX WITHHOLDING 

  
 (a) Payment by Grantee. Each grantee shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received
thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the grantee for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrator regarding payment of, any Federal, state, or local taxes of any kind
required by law to be withheld with respect to such income. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the grantee. The Company’s
obligation to deliver stock certificates to any grantee is subject to and conditioned on tax obligations being satisfied by the grantee. 
  
 (b) Payment in Stock. Subject to approval by the Administrator, a grantee may elect to have the minimum required tax withholding obligation
satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold from shares of Stock to be issued pursuant to any Award a number of shares with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy
the withholding amount due, or (ii) transferring to the Company shares of Stock owned by the grantee with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due. 
  

	SECTION 7.	TRANSFER, LEAVE OF ABSENCE, ETC. 

  
 For purposes of the Plan, the following events shall not be deemed a termination of employment: 
  
 (a) a transfer to the employment of the Company from a Subsidiary or from the
Company to a Subsidiary, or from one Subsidiary to another; or 
  
 (b) an approved leave of absence for military service or sickness, or for any other purpose approved by the Company, if the employee’s right to re-employment is guaranteed either by a statute or by contract or under the policy pursuant
to which the leave of absence was granted or if the Administrator otherwise so provides in writing. 
  

	SECTION 8.	AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION 

  
 The Board may, at any time, amend or discontinue the Plan and the Administrator may, at any time, amend or cancel any outstanding Award for the purpose of
satisfying changes in law or for any other lawful purpose, but no such action shall adversely affect rights under any outstanding Award without the holder’s consent. Except as provided in Sections 3(b) or 3(c), in no event may the Administrator
exercise its discretion to permit a repricing (or decrease in exercise price) of outstanding Stock Options. Any material Plan amendments (other than amendments that curtail the scope of the Plan), including any Plan amendments that (i) increase the
number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, (ii) expand the type of Awards available, materially expand the eligibility to participate or materially extend the term of the Plan, or (iii) materially change the method of determining Fair
Market Value, shall be subject to approval by the Company stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders. In addition, to the extent determined by the Administrator to be required by the Code to ensure that Incentive Stock Options
granted under the Plan are qualified under Section 422 of the Code, Plan amendments shall be subject to approval by the holders of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present. Nothing in this Section 8
shall limit the Administrator’s authority to take any action permitted pursuant to Section 3(c). 
  

	SECTION 9.	STATUS OF PLAN 

  
 With respect to the portion of any Award that has not been exercised and any payments in cash, Stock or other consideration not received by a grantee, a
grantee shall have no rights greater than those of a general creditor of the Company unless the Administrator shall otherwise expressly determine in connection with any Award. In its sole discretion, the Administrator may authorize the creation of
trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the foregoing sentence.

  

	SECTION 10.	CHANGE OF CONTROL PROVISIONS 

  
 Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control as defined in this Section 10: 
  
 (a) Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award agreement, each outstanding Stock Option shall automatically become
fully exercisable. 
  
 (b) “Change of Control” shall
mean the occurrence of any one of the following events: 
  
 (i) any “Person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any trustee, fiduciary or other person or entity holding securities
under any employee benefit plan or trust of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), together with all “affiliates” and “associates” (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) of such person, shall become
the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 25 percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding
securities having the right to vote in an election of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Voting Securities”) (in such case other than as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company); or 
  
 (ii) persons who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason, including, without limitation, as a result of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or similar transaction, to constitute at least a majority of the Board,
provided that any person becoming a director of the Company subsequent to the Effective Date shall be considered an Incumbent Director if such person’s election was approved by or such person was nominated for election by either (A) a vote of
at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors or (B) a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Directors who are members of a nominating committee comprised, in the majority, of Incumbent Directors; but provided further, that any such person
whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest relating to the election of members of the Board of Directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a
Person other than the Board, including by reason of agreement intended to avoid or settle any such actual or threatened contest or solicitation, shall not be considered an Incumbent Director; or 
  

 (iii) the consummation of a consolidation, merger or consolidation or sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Corporate Transaction”); excluding, however, a Corporate Transaction in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Corporate Transaction, would,
immediately after the Corporate Transaction, beneficially own (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, shares representing in the aggregate more than 50 percent of the voting shares of the corporation
issuing cash or securities in the Corporate Transaction (or of its ultimate parent corporation, if any); or 
  
 (iv) the approval by the stockholders of any plan or proposal for the liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change of Control” shall not be
deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i) solely as the result of an acquisition of securities by the Company which, by reducing the number of shares of Voting Securities outstanding, increases the proportionate number of
shares of Voting Securities beneficially owned by any person to 25 percent or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities; provided, however, that if any person referred to in this sentence shall
thereafter become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Voting Securities (other than pursuant to a stock split, stock dividend, or similar transaction or as a result of an acquisition of securities directly from the Company) and
immediately thereafter beneficially owns 25 percent or more of the combined voting power of all then outstanding Voting Securities, then a “Change of Control” shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of the foregoing clause (i).

  

	SECTION 11.	GENERAL PROVISIONS 

  
 (a) No Distribution; Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Administrator may require each person acquiring Stock pursuant to an Award to
represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the shares without a view to distribution thereof. 
  
 No shares of Stock shall be issued pursuant to an Award until all applicable securities law and other legal and stock exchange or similar requirements
have been satisfied. The Administrator may require the placing of such stop-orders and restrictive legends on certificates for Stock and Awards as it deems appropriate. 
  
 (b) Delivery of Stock Certificates. Stock certificates to grantees under this Plan shall be deemed delivered for all
purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of the Company shall have mailed such certificates in the United States mail, addressed to the grantee, at the grantee’s last known address on file with the Company. 
  
 (c) Other Compensation Arrangements; No Employment Rights. Nothing
contained in this Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements, including trusts, and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. The adoption of this Plan
and the grant of Awards do not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary. 
  
 (d) Trading Policy Restrictions. Option exercises under the Plan shall be subject to such Company’s insider trading policy, as in effect from
time to time. 
  
 (e) Designation of Beneficiary. Each
grantee to whom an Award has been made under the Plan may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to exercise any Award or receive any payment under any Award payable on or after the grantee’s death. Any such designation shall be on a form
provided for that purpose by the Administrator and shall not be effective until received by the Administrator. If no beneficiary has been designated by a deceased grantee, or if the designated beneficiaries have predeceased the grantee, the
beneficiary shall be the grantee’s estate. 
  

	SECTION 12.	EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN 

  
 This amended and restated Plan shall become effective upon approval by the holders of a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders at which a
quorum is present. No grants of Stock Options may be made hereunder after February 11, 2014. 
  

	SECTION 13.	GOVERNING LAW 

  
 This Plan and all Awards and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.
